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

Su Zhan knew about this; the nomads on the grasslands did not pay their soldiers; their pay came from the spoils of war obtained through personal looting.

Some of these spoils must be handed over, while the rest can be kept, whether it be valuables or women.

As for the targets of plunder, they could be other tribes or the people of the Great Wu Empire.

Therefore, everyone should bring their own travel expenses when they go.

Lin Yu'er owed Mandu ten taels of silver.

But now there's no need to worry. With the silver Su Zhan brought back, they can not only pay off Mandu's debts, but also live a good life.

Su Zhan carefully took out the silver from the box and counted it; there were more than three hundred taels!

With this money, they could move away immediately, whether to the grassland capital or to live in Dawu, it would be enough.

Su Zhan closed the silver box and looked at Lin Yuer, asking.

"Wife, now that we have money, how about you move to a different place? For example, how about we go to Dawu?"

A hint of expectation flashed in Lin Yuer's eyes, but it disappeared immediately.

"I can't go to Dawu."

When Su Zhan first heard Lin Yuer's name, he knew she was from the Central Plains, but not necessarily from the Great Wu. Now, hearing her say she couldn't return to the Great Wu, he knew there must be a story behind it.

Why?

"I..." Lin Yu'er paused for a moment, "You'd better not ask..."

Su Zhan was quite straightforward; if he didn't want to ask, he wouldn't. He would tell Lin Yuer when she was willing to.

Lin Yuer breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Su Zhan did not ask any further questions. After all, it was best not to tell Su Zhan about her identity as the daughter of a disgraced official.

"How about we go to the capital? We can buy a small house there; it'll be much more comfortable than living in a tent at the camp."

Lin Yu'er shook her head again.

"I can't leave here. If my brother comes back and doesn't see me, he'll be worried."

Su Zhan thought that made sense, so they decided to postpone the move.

Su Zhan estimated the time; it was probably late at night, so he could still get some sleep.

"My wife, let's go to sleep!"

As Su Zhan spoke, he took off his clothes and got into bed. Lin Yuer's body tensed up immediately. She was still in pain and dared not do anything reckless again.

But to Lin Yuer's surprise, Su Zhan simply held her and didn't do anything inappropriate. Soon after, Su Zhan fell asleep.

Looking at Su Zhan's handsome face, Lin Yu'er suddenly felt very at ease. She nestled in Su Zhan's arms, feeling warm and peaceful.

……

Early the next morning.

Su Zhan woke up and then prepared breakfast for Lin Yuer.

When Lin Yuer woke up, the food was already laid out on the table.

"Wife, eat more, let's give it our all tonight!"

Su Zhan chuckled mischievously, and Lin Yu'er's face turned red.

Su Zhan found teasing Lin Yuer really interesting. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent.

"Lin Yuer! You get out here right now!"

Su Zhan recognized the voice as Mandu's and thought that the toad spirit must be here to ask for money again. He decided to settle accounts with her today.

Su Zhan was about to get up when Lin Yuer stopped him.

"Don't go out, I'll do it myself."

"That woman, be careful. If she dares to do anything reckless, I'll kill her!"

Lin Yuer nodded and then went out of the tent. Su Zhan held the broadsword in his hand and stood at the tent entrance, peeking in.

At this moment, the area outside the tent was full of people, and Mandu was standing at the very front.

Mandu saw Lin Yuer come out and sneered.

"You little slut, where's the lowly slave you bought? Tell him to get out here too!"

Lin Yu'er was not afraid of Mandu at all.

"I'll pay you back later, so please don't bother me anymore."

Mandu burst into laughter.

"We'll talk about the money later; you're in trouble with a murder case today!"

As Mandu spoke, she waved her hand, and three people stepped out from the crowd behind her: two men and one woman. The two men were dressed as slave traders, and the woman was dressed in a flamboyant manner, clearly a prostitute.

People around were watching the spectacle, wondering what Mandu was up to today. Everyone was discussing it and finding it very interesting.

Lin Yuer looked at the three people and her heart sank, because she recognized the human trafficker, which meant that someone had come to her door to find out what Su Zhan had done.

Su Zhan, inside the tent, could also see the outside scene through the gaps in the curtain.

Su Zhan narrowed his eyes; he recognized her as the woman who had escaped from Wang Hu's tent the previous night.

Su Zhan didn't have time to deal with her at the time, but unexpectedly, she became a witness to identify Su Zhan.

She must know Su Zhan, and she must have told the other slave traders what happened in the tent, otherwise this whole thing wouldn't have happened.

But Su Zhan wasn't afraid of her. So what if there were witnesses? To catch a cheater, you need to catch them in the act; to catch a thief, you need to catch them red-handed. Even if there were witnesses, he wasn't afraid.

Suddenly, Su Zhan turned his head and looked at the box under the bed! Wasn't this the stolen goods?

The slave traders definitely recognize this box, and Su Zhan can't explain the silver inside. This is really troublesome!

Su Zhan's mind raced, but he couldn't come up with a good solution.

In the end, Su Zhan simply stopped thinking about it. Since he couldn't explain the box and the silver, he figured he could just keep them from seeing it.

If they want to search, then ask Su Zhan's big knife.

Although this is the camp of the steppe people, it is a mixed bag of places. There is no leader or Khan in charge, so Su Zhan is not worried about anything. Everyone has the power to decide!

At this moment, Lin Yuer was already losing her composure. She naturally knew that Su Zhan had robbed the slave trader of his money and killed someone, and her eyes began to dart away.

Lin Yuer didn't know how to deal with all this, but just then, a solid figure suddenly blocked Lin Yuer's way. Lin Yuer looked up and saw that it was Su Zhan!

When Mandu saw Su Zhan appear, a cold and greedy glint flashed in his eyes.

She heard Lin Yuer calling from inside the tent all day yesterday, only stopping at night, which made Mandu extremely hungry.

But the men she bought were useless, so now that she saw Su Zhan, her anger only intensified!

The reason she stood up for the slave traders this time was twofold: one was for the money, and the other was for Su Zhan. She dreamed of getting her hands on the unruly, handsome, and brave Su Zhan!

This time, she was confident she could make Su Zhan obediently follow her.

Just then, the prostitute recognized Su Zhan.

"It's him! He killed Wang Hu!"

The prostitute's scream instantly ignited the tense atmosphere.

The two slave traders immediately stepped forward. Su Zhan recognized them; one was called Wang Gouzi and the other Wang Erdan. They were from the same village as Wang Hu.

Wang Gouzi and Wang Erdan immediately walked over with fierce expressions, each holding a large knife, looking like they were not to be trifled with.

Seeing their posture, Lin Yuer was so frightened that she quietly tugged at Su Zhan's sleeve. Su Zhan patted her hand calmly, signaling her not to be afraid.

At this moment, Wang Gouzi held up his knife and said fiercely to Su Zhan.

"You bastard, you dared to kill our boss! Today I'll skin you alive!"
