Battle for Northern Frontier: The game begins with the grassland woman buying him.

He used to think that as long as he left the camp and went to Stone City, he could get rid of Mandu and the others.

At that time, he thought that if he killed Mandu before leaving, no one would be able to find any fault with him.

But things are different now. Mandu's death has definitely been pinned on Su Zhan, and with so many strong men from the grasslands dying today, it's like they've formed a blood feud.

Even if Su Zhan runs to Stone City, these people probably won't let it go.

Therefore, Su Zhan felt that this Stone City was not a safe place either.

However, Su Zhan is currently very tired and injured, and there is no good solution for the time being. He can only take it one step at a time and discuss it with Lin Qingshan in Stone City.

Lin Qingshan's identity is also dishonorable; he is a deserter. Su Zhan is no less so; he is a murderer.

No wonder God made them brothers; they really are both unlucky.

But there's no use thinking about it now. Let's hurry up and get to Stone City. Su Zhan just hopes that he can have some peace and quiet once he gets there. He's really tired right now.

Despite the bumpy ride, nothing unexpected happened.

Before nightfall, Su Zhan and Lin Yuer finally saw the small town in the distance.

Stone City wasn't large; it was just a small city with mud walls and very low gates, but it was considered a city on the grasslands.

Compared to the camp where Lin Yuer and the others had stayed before, this place was much more heavily guarded, and the water was also much deeper.

When Su Zhan and his group arrived at the city gate, it was almost closing time. Several burly grassland men were shouting at the passersby.

"Get the hell out of here! If you delay closing the city gates, I'll kill you all!"

Su Zhan and Lin Yu'er dismounted and led their horses into the city. The guard at the gate only glanced at Su Zhan and didn't pay him any attention.

As soon as Su Zhan and Lin Yuer entered the city, the city gates were closed.

Su Zhan looked up at the city and saw that it was not a large city. There was only one road leading to the end, and the city wall on the other side was vaguely visible. The distance between them was only a few hundred meters.

The road was lined with all sorts of buildings, of varying heights, stretching deep into the city.

In a daze, Su Zhan felt as if he had arrived in the Central Plains, because everything here was so similar to a small town in the Central Plains.

Perhaps the people of the grasslands were deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, which is why they built the stone city in this way.

Su Zhan was also visiting the small town of grassland people for the first time and had no experience.

However, now is not the time to admire the city scenery; they need to hurry and find Lin Qingshan.

It's unclear whether Lin Qingshan has resolved everything or whether he has safely arrived in Stone City.

Su Zhan turned to Lin Yuer and asked.

"Where is that inn that you mentioned, brother?"

Lin Yuer frowned and shook her head.

"I don't know either. I only remember him saying that the inn was called Tongfu Inn. I don't know anything else."

Su Zhan nodded. Since he didn't know, he would go into the city to ask. He hadn't rested all day, so he would find a place to sit down first.

So Su Zhan and Lin Yu'er led their horses forward. Although the city gates were closed, the shops and vendors in the city were still doing business.

Finally, the two stopped in front of a steamed bun stall. Su Zhan sat down with a thud, feeling as if his bones were about to break.

The two ordered several baskets of steamed buns and a pot of sake, and began to wolf them down.

After we finished eating, when it was time to pay the bill, we asked the stall owner for directions to Tongfu Inn.

After resting for a while, Su Zhan recovered and felt much warmer after eating. He then walked with Lin Yuer toward the location the stall owner had indicated.

They entered from the south gate, while Tongfu Inn was at the east gate, so they had to pass through many buildings in the city.

Apart from the main avenue, the city is filled with narrow lanes, interspersed among various low houses. As soon as you enter these lanes, it suddenly becomes quiet. There were people on the main street just now, but there wasn't a single person in sight on the lanes.

Su Zhan didn't pay much attention, thinking that there were probably fewer people in the city, and they were all concentrated on the streets, so there was no one on the side streets.

But after taking a few steps, they realized something was wrong. This place was not just too quiet; even the surrounding buildings were lifeless, as if no one lived in them.

Su Zhan placed his hand on the hilt of the knife. Lin Yu'er also sensed something was wrong. She tugged at Su Zhan's sleeve and whispered.

"Husband, why do I feel a little chilly?"

Su Zhan nodded: "Don't overthink it, hurry up and get there."

Lin Yuer could only follow behind Su Zhan as he walked forward. Su Zhan kept a careful look around. Suddenly, several laughing voices came from the darkness.

"Wow, what a beautiful girl we met today! It's been so long since we've seen such pretty girls in the city. We never expected to run into one."

"Haha, she's lucky. Most people aren't so fortunate as to have the favor of us guys."

The group burst into laughter, their voices extremely lewd, discussing the specific details of their interaction with the girl.

Su Zhan frowned slightly upon hearing this, while Lin Yu'er behind him became even more nervous, hiding behind Su Zhan.

Su Zhan wasn't afraid of them. He led Lin Yuer forward, and sure enough, several figures appeared ahead. They were six Han Chinese men, all in their thirties, walking along laughing and joking.

The leader had cross-eyed eyes. When he saw Su Zhan and Lin Yu'er, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything and continued walking forward with the others.

Su Zhan didn't even look at them. It was like seeing a dog on the street. If you don't look at it, that's fine, but if you do, it will definitely chase you.

The two groups passed each other by. Su Zhan thought that nothing would happen, but after he took two more steps, a hoarse voice came from behind him.

Where are you going?

Su Zhan didn't answer him and continued to pull Lin Yuer forward.

"Hey!" At that moment, a man rushed up next to the cross-eyed man: "My big brother is talking to you, are you fucking deaf?"

The thug rushed up, cursing, and reached out to grab Su Zhan's shoulder. He clearly thought Su Zhan was easy to bully because he was with a pretty young woman and was all alone.

Su Zhan didn't even turn around. As if he had eyes in the back of his head, just as the dirty hand was about to touch his shoulder, he suddenly ducked down and swung his left arm back like a steel whip.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp crack, Su Zhan's elbow struck the thug's outstretched wrist with perfect precision.

"Ouch—!" The thug felt his entire arm instantly go numb and throbbing with pain, as if he had been hit by a hammer. He screamed and staggered backward, clutching his wrist. His face turned deathly pale and tears streamed down his face.

"Damn it, this guy's tough. Let's all attack him and cripple him!" The cockfighting man's face instantly turned sinister as he shouted.

The remaining five men immediately revealed their true colors, pulling out short sticks and daggers from their pockets, and swarmed around them, trapping Su Zhan and Lin Yuer in the middle of the alley.
