After placing the elves, he suddenly found that Amber, who was supposed to be training with a new crossbowmen, was hiding behind for some reason.

"Hey!" Jia Zhengjin beckoned to his wife Tina's childhood sweetheart.

"Lord Keane!" Amber approached him with a look of fear on his face after being caught.

Jia Zhengjin glanced up and down, frowned and asked, "Why didn't you train?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Master Keane!" Amber said hurriedly, "I'll be back at once!"

"Answer my question first," Jia Zhengjin stopped him and asked solemnly, "Why didn't you train? You are now the captain of the new crossbow team, but as the captain of the team, how serious is the situation of evading training?"

"I'm sorry! Lord Keane!" Amber hurriedly straightened up, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, "I don't dare anymore!"

"Is it okay not to dare a word?" Jia Zhengjin said angrily, "As the captain of the team, you have to lead by example, how can you lead the team with such an attitude? If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to reprimand it, and I would just change people! But after all, you are Tina's playmate since she was a child, and you are her brother with whom she has a good relationship, so I gave you a chance! Do you want to disappoint me?"

"Please, Lord Keane!" replied Amber immediately, aloud.

"You will be punished for leading your troops around the city ten times. If one member makes a mistake, all of them will be punished!

"It's my personal mistake, and I ask Master Keane to spare the innocent crossbowmen!" Amber hurriedly pleaded.

Jia Zhengjin snorted coldly: "Are you questioning me?"

"Don't dare!" Amber immediately bowed his head.

"Don't question my orders," Jia Zhengjin said in a cold voice, "As for your personal punishment, it will not be less! When you finish ten laps and everyone else goes to rest, you can give me a mine to participate in labor until nightfall!"

"Yes!!" Amber immediately stood up straight and replied loudly in the face of Jia Zhengjin's undoubted order.

Amber did not hesitate to carry out Jia Zhengjin's order, and first led the members of the new crossbow team to run around the outer city for ten laps. After everyone was exhausted, he dragged his tired body, and almost without rest, he immediately went to the mine and joined 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 little harshly!"

"If it weren't for your face, I would have kicked him out of the team directly!" Jia Zhengjin said dissatisfiedly, "Your childhood sweetheart's brother, as the captain of the crossbow team, took the lead in being lazy, can such a team surround the city?"

"Keane," said Tina softly, "Amber is wrong to do this, and I won't beg for mercy for him! However, I have also learned that there is a reason for this!"

"As long as there is a reason, the training of the army can be put aside, then everyone can go back to farming!" Jia Zhengjin frowned.

"Don't be angry, listen to me!" Tina reached out to hug her husband and looked up at him with a smile, "Actually, Amber has always been very serious in training before, and he has never let up for a second. Everyone in the city can testify to this, and so can the members of the crossbowmen! Only yesterday, when he went out in the morning, he met a beautiful elven girl. As a result, he was immediately attracted by the other party's beauty! After trying to say a few words, he found that the girl was both gentle and lovely, so he was instantly fascinated! From then on, he could not take his eyes off the girl, and kept secretly watching her, so that he forgot all about his training! When I went to see him, he told me that he wanted to marry this elf girl, and that he would be willing to do whatever he wanted as long as he could be with her! I felt that Amber was sincere. So don't you want to plead for him, I hope you can help?"

"What are you kidding? When you just meet someone, you want to marry each other as a wife? Even if he falls in love with someone at first sight, they won't necessarily take care of him, right?" Jia Zhengjin couldn't help frowning.

"That's why I'm begging you!" said Tina, coquettishly, "Keen, you are the master of our Holy Dragon City, and all the people here are your people. Isn't this kind of thing something you can solve with a single word?"

Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin stretched out his hand and gently pushed his wife away, and looked at her with a displeased expression: "Tina! Listen to me, this is my city! Those are my people! It is precisely because of this that I am responsible for everyone! In my place, everyone should have their own dignity, not like other places, the leader can decide the fate of everyone in the city with one word! I can't order people to marry Amber because of his own selfishness! In that case, what is the difference between me and the kings of the Majestic Wind Empire, and those hateful nobles? Whoever is willing to take refuge in me is a trust in me! I can't live up to their trust and make them think that I am actually a bastard city lord!"

"But Keane, Amber really likes that elf girl!" said Tina, "can't you help him?, and I think that if Amber can marry an elven girl, these elves who come to you will have a greater sense of belonging!

"You also know what happened to these elves, they have experienced quite 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 used as a slave for those nobles to abuse ......"

"Keane," said Tina, looking at him, "Amber knows this, but he doesn't mind, he really wants to protect that girl and give her a lifetime of happiness! You should know that although these elves have joined this city, there is still a clear gap between them and everyone. They have low self-esteem because of what happened to them, and they are afraid of being discriminated against! They are also worried and afraid! But if the elven girl is willing to marry Amber, she can give a signal to the other elves. That's the people of our Holy Dragon City, and they don't have any contempt or discrimination because of what happened to them! Here they can be respected and have equal rights and interests with all of us! This helps the harmony in our city!"

Jia Zhengjin had to admit that his wife Tina's words were right. However, it was still impossible for him to directly order that the girl Amber had his eye on be forced to marry him. After thinking for a while, he replied to his wife: "I will not use the power of a leader to decide the fate of any of them." But I can ask Amber and see the attitude of other girls! If the girls don't agree, then Amber will die. If the girls agree, then it's best, I'll personally hold the wedding for them, and let the whole city bless them!"

"Keane, I love you so much!" Tina happily hugged her husband and kissed him the cheek.
