After placing the elves, I suddenly discovered that Amber, who was supposed to be leading the new crossbow unit for training, was hiding behind him for some reason.
"Hello!" Jia Zhengjin waved to his wife Tina's childhood sweetheart.
"Lord Keen!" Amber came to him dejectedly with a frightened expression after being caught.
Jia Zhengjin glanced up and down, frowned and asked, "Why is there no training?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, Lord Keen!" Amber said hurriedly, "I will return to the team immediately!"
"Answer my question first," Jia Zhengjin stopped him and asked seriously, "Why is there no training? You are now the captain of the new crossbow team. As the captain, you evade training. How serious is it?"
"I'm sorry! Lord Keen!" Amber stood up in a hurry, sweat breaking out on his forehead, "I don't dare to do it anymore!"
"Is it enough to say you don't dare?" Jia Zhengjin said angrily, "As a captain, you have to lead by example. How can you lead the team well with your attitude? If it were someone else, I wouldn't even bother to scold him and just replace him! But after all, you are
Tina’s playmate since childhood was her brother with whom she had a good relationship, so I gave you a chance! Do you want to disappoint me? "
"As a penalty, you lead the troops to run around the city ten times. If one member makes a mistake, everyone will be punished! Do you have any objections?"
"This is my personal mistake. Please, Lord Keen, spare the innocent members of the crossbow team!" Amber hurriedly begged.
Jia Zhengjin snorted coldly: "Are you questioning me?"
"Don't dare!" Amber immediately lowered her head.
"Don't question my order," Jia Zhengjin said coldly, "As for your personal punishment, it will be no less! After running ten laps, everyone else will go to rest, and you can work in the mine until nightfall!"
"
"Yes!!" Faced with Jia Zhengjin's unquestionable order, Amber immediately stood up straight and answered loudly.
Amber carried out Jia Zhengjin's order without hesitation, and first led the members of the new crossbow team to run around the outer city for ten times. After everyone was exhausted and paralyzed, he dragged his exhausted body and barely
After resting, go to the mine immediately and join the mining army.
In the evening, Tina said to Jia Zhengjin during dinner: "I went to see Amber just now, and you punished him a bit harshly!"
"If it weren't for your sake, I would have kicked him out of the team!" Jia Zhengjin said dissatisfied, "You, a childhood sweetheart, are the captain of the crossbow team but take the lead in slacking off. Can such a team surround the city?"
"Kean," Tina said softly, "Amber is wrong to do this, and I will not beg for mercy for him! If it is wrong, it is wrong, and there is nothing to say. However, I have also understood that this matter is actually
There’s a reason!”
"As long as there is a reason to put aside military training, then everyone can go back to farming!" Jia Zhengjin frowned.
"Don't be angry, just listen to me!" Tina hugged her husband and looked up at him with a smile, "Actually, Amber has always been very serious about training before and has never slacked off for a second. Everyone in the city can do this.
As proof, the members of the Crossbow Corps can also prove it! Just yesterday, he met a beautiful elf girl when he went out in the morning. As a result, he was immediately attracted by her beauty! He tried to strike up a few words, but found that
The girl was gentle and cute, so he was instantly obsessed with her! From then on, he couldn't take his eyes off the girl and kept following her secretly, so much so that he forgot about the training! I went
When I met him, he told me that he wanted to marry this elf girl as his wife. As long as he could be with her, he would do anything! I felt that Amber was sincere. So this was not about asking for a wife for him.
Qing, I hope you can help me?"
"Are you kidding me? You just met her once and you want to marry her as your wife? Even if he fell in love with her at first sight, she might not pay attention to him, right?" Jia Zhengjin couldn't help but frown.
"That's why I came to beg you!" Tina said coquettishly, "Kien, you are the master of our Holy Dragon City, and everyone here is your people. This kind of thing can't be done with just a word from you.
Can it be solved?"
Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin reached out and gently pushed his wife away, looking at her with an unhappy face: "Tina! Listen to me, this is my city! Those are my people.
! It is precisely because of this that I have to be responsible for everyone! Here, everyone should have their own dignity, unlike other places where the leader can decide the fate of everyone in the city with just one sentence! I can't do it because
Because of Amber's selfishness, he ordered to force someone to marry him! In that case, what's the difference between me and the king of the Xiongfeng Empire and those hateful nobles? As long as anyone is willing to take refuge in me, that means they trust me!
I can't betray their trust and let them think that I am actually a bastard city lord too!"
"But Keen, Amber really likes that elf girl!" Tina said, "Can't you help him? And I think that if Amber can marry an elf girl, these elves who have taken refuge in you will
They will have a greater sense of belonging! They will also understand that they are not discriminated against!”
"You also know what happened to these elves. They have experienced terrible humiliation before, and they want to forget it!" Jia Zhengjin looked at Tina seriously, "Amber, doesn't he mind? The elf girl he likes was once raped.
Being treated as a slave and allowed to be humiliated by those nobles..."
"Kean," Tina looked at him and said, "Amber knows this very well! But he doesn't mind it. He really wants to protect that girl and give her a lifetime of happiness! You should know that even if these elves join
When they arrived in this city, there was still an obvious gap with everyone. They felt quite inferior because of their experiences and were afraid of being discriminated against! They were also worried and scared! But if the elf girl is willing to marry Amber, she can
Give other elves a signal. That is, we people in Holy Dragon City do not have any contempt or discrimination because of their experiences! Here they can be respected and enjoy equal rights with all of us! This helps us
Such harmony in the city!”
Jia Zhengjin had to admit that these words of his wife Tina were right. However, it was still impossible for him to directly order the girl Amber was interested in to be forced to marry him. After thinking about it, he answered his wife: "I don't know how to use leader
I have the power to decide the fate of any of them. But I can ask on behalf of Amber to see the attitude of other girls! If the girl does not agree, then let Amber give up. If the girl agrees, then it is best.
, I will personally hold their wedding and let everyone in the city come to bless them!"
"Kean, I love you so much!" Tina happily hugged her husband and kissed him hard on the face.
