The heavy gate stood tightly shut, its surface etched with wavy lines forming an unknown pattern, faint glimmers of light swirling within the grooves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Dou Changsheng approached, a squad of armored soldiers appeared atop the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bows were drawn taut as full moons, arrows aimed squarely at Dou Changsheng. One commander, hand resting on his waist-sword hilt, looked down and spoke in a low tone: “Jianmen Pass is closed. No unauthorized persons may approach.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you wish to cross the border, take another route.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of eyes fixed on Dou Changsheng, their gaze primarily on his sword sheath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One who wears a sword is a Wu Ren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, Wu Ren are naturally a privileged class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can break many rules. Had this been an ordinary civilian, the commander would have said nothing—just shot him down as a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wu Ren are different. No one knows their true strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offend the wrong one, and you might step on an iron plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng reached into his robe and pulled out a token, raising it high and shouting: “By order of the Mufu !”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Delivering frontier army rations!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander’s eyes narrowed as he studied the token’s engravings, then waved his hand: “Open the gate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let the Mufu  envoy enter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive gate slowly swung open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander, clad in heavy armor like a creature forged of steel, appeared to weigh over a thousand jin in height and mass—but Dou Changsheng noticed not a single footprint remained on the ground; the armor seemed as light as paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander strode forward, flanked by a squad of armored soldiers, each clad in armor, wielding long spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes were cold, fixed on Dou Changsheng as if he were already dead. Most unsettling—he sensed no individual presence among them; facing one was like facing them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander halted three steps before Dou Changsheng and spoke calmly: “The Mufu  finally sent someone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought you’d never come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, the commander turned and walked into the pass. Dou Changsheng frowned—he had traveled a thousand li, braved countless dangers, and finally reached Jianmen Pass, only to be ignored by everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere here is wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng followed the commander inside, his heart on high alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand General Yu Yun has commanded the North for over a decade, establishing his Mufu  and governing the region. Officers of this rank are almost all appointed by the Mufu .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the Mufu  not held such control over the North, Grand General Yu Yun would never have been imprisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jianmen Pass weren’t so suspicious, how could a single commander possibly surrender such a fortress? He’d have been torn apart by his own men long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander’s stance isn’t his own—it reflects the collective rage of the frontier army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander of Jianmen Pass is merely the figurehead pushed forward by the troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This timely delivery of rations, even at the cost of a Pure Yang Master’s blood, is meant to pacify the frontier army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate closed again, and Dou Changsheng’s heart rose to his throat—he feared they might change their minds and order his capture or execution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no strength to force his way through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trapped like a turtle in a jar, wings clipped—he fit every proverb of entrapment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the worst didn’t happen. The commander’s demeanor was cold, yet calm—he personally led Dou Changsheng straight to the Captain’s quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander of Jianmen Pass holds the rank of Breaker-of-Enemies Captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a military garrison. Though civilians live here, no civil government office exists—all civil and military affairs are under the Breaker-of-Enemies Captain’s command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is not normal—it was an emergency military rule enacted over a decade ago, when Grand General Yu Yun was entrusted by the former Emperor to defend the North against the Hu Ren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Captain’s quarters, Dou Changsheng waited a while before being met by a bearded scholar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they reached the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall’s layout was simple—bordering on shabby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A corpulent figure sat cross-legged on the floor, his fat hand gripping a lamb leg, devouring it without restraint, grease clearly visible on his palms and lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big bites of meat. Big swigs of wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Dou Changsheng entered, the Breaker-of-Enemies Captain didn’t look up, chewing meat as he spoke, voice muffled: “Where’s it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They said this time it’s Pure Yang blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to see it myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a vast difference between ordinary blood and true essence-blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s not Pure Yang Master’s blood, then it’s not Pure Yang blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng untied the bundle on his back and handed it over with both hands, saying: “From Junxian, I split from Black Hawk Elder—whose path was real? Which was fake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know. I ask you to inspect it yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Breaker-of-Enemies Captain extended his greasy hand, showing no interest in the object everyone had fought and killed for. He tore open the bundle, revealing scattered gems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Captain Who Breaks Enemies extended his greasy palm, utterly indifferent to the object that countless others had fought and killed over; he simply tore it open and watched as a scattering of gems fell out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Breaker-of-Enemies Captain sneered: “You’re the direct heir of the Wang family of Xiangzhou.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some say you’re the Wang family’s Dao Seed, the next patriarch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With your status and martial strength, how did Black Hawk Elder—a mere Post-Heaven Wu Ren—dare make you the bait?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang He has been following you all along.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He arrived at Jianmen Pass ahead of you and already sent word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Breaker-of-Enemies Captain brushed his finger across the gems—their hue shifted, crimson light spreading until they glowed like blood-red stones, radiating intense heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Captain Who Breaks Enemies brushed his hand across it, and its color shifted—bloodlight spread relentlessly, eventually transforming into a crimson hue, resembling a red bloodstone that radiated a searing heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Black Hawk Elder is old—half already in the grave—and still traveled a thousand li, sacrificing himself as bait to buy you time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All just to deliver this to Jianmen Pass and win back the frontier army’s loyalty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat on the Breaker-of-Enemies Captain’s face trembled. His eyes glinted with cold fury. He slammed his palm down—the Pure Yang blood instantly shattered, dissolved, and vanished, erased as if never there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold voice rang out: “Now you care about calming their hearts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where were you when it mattered?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We guard the border, defending our homeland against the Hu Ren, fighting bloody battles, dying by the thousands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You sit back, enjoying the peace we bought with our blood. That’s fine—we knew from the start that soldiers die on the battlefield.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you had no right to touch our families.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the point of fighting the Hu Ren if you’re the ones who destroy us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dying at the Hu Ren’s hands is death—but isn’t dying at your hands death too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Being abused by you—isn’t that abuse?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Yun betrayed us. He betrayed everyone in the North.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We of the North have spent ten years of war against the Hu Ren—pouring out money, sending our sons, losing countless lives, entire families ruined.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the capital, in Liang, you live in drunken stupors. You’d rather feed your dogs than send a single copper coin north to feed us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the capital, in Liang, they live in drunken stupor, preferring to throw their money to dogs rather than spend a single copper on the North to let us have a bite to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is defending against the Hu Ren our North’s burden?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Yun bears the hopes of the North. For over a decade, the Mufu  gave him men, gave him money—but when it mattered, he failed to secure our interests. The rations left the capital—and were stolen, vanished without a trace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Yun bears the hopes of the North; for over a decade, the Mufu  has had people when needed and money when demanded, yet at the critical moment, it fails to secure our North’s interests—the military pay, barely out of the capital, was ambushed and vanished without a trace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Breaker-of-Enemies Captain laughed wildly, his laughter chilling to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Yun isn’t from the North. To him, Northerners are dogs and pigs—worthless. He surrendered himself to prison for a single imperial decree, caring only for his reputation, his family—never our lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Yuan is a fool too—wasting his own essence-blood to fill the coffers of the capital’s lords.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the court doesn’t want the North, won’t use the wealth of Liang or the capital to support our fight against the Hu Ren—why should we fight them at all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why should we bleed dry for them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve endured the Hu Ren’s raids—now let them taste it too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see if these lords still have the mouth to spout empty words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ride horses into the capital—see if their tongues are sharper than the Hu Ren’s blades.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The North is too hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ride horses through the capital and see whether their tongues are sharper or the Hu Ren's blades are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The northern lands are too harsh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What needs to be appeased and calmed is not just our small group, but the entire Northland.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even a rabbit will bite when cornered—I’d like to see how these gentlemen will face the wrath of the Northland.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Breakthrough Captain vented his anger, then wiped his mouth, cleaned the grease off his hands, and as his fury faded, he spoke coldly: “You rode a thousand li to come to our aid—you are a loyal and righteous man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave Jianmen Pass quickly, or you’ll lose your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Show him out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Breakthrough Captain ignored Dou Changsheng entirely; all he’d said was merely to vent his inner bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng was thrown out the door and stood outside, bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart felt heavy; this Northland storm was far more terrifying than he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that the commander of Jianmen Pass had turned traitor, plotting to betray the court and surrender to the Hu Ren—he wasn’t motivated by power or wealth, but by the Northland’s exhaustion from war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no wonder the commander of Jianmen Pass hadn’t been killed by court elites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing people wouldn’t solve the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander of Jianmen Pass didn’t represent himself—he represented countless people of the Northland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Northland was like a volcano, barely holding back, ready to erupt at the slightest spark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spark for this incident was the murder of soldiers’ families at Jianmen Pass, but the root cause was the Northland’s refusal to fight any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For over a decade, they had paid too much—yet seen no results, only more demands for men and money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Ai Haiké, a family of unwavering loyalty, had begun to consider other paths—the Northland simply couldn’t bear it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng, burdened with thoughts, didn’t know what to do—until he heard a call. He looked up and saw Tang He, so he walked over, and soon arrived at a room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang He sat down and sighed deeply: “Black Eagle Elder is now in danger—I plan to rescue him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After I save him, I’ll leave the Northland.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I was young, I heard how General Yu Yun led troops beyond the frontier, shattered the Hu Ren, won glorious victories, and became famous throughout the land.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I yearned for such glory—a true man must leave his name in history.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I traveled the world, came to the Northland, and joined the Mufu  directly—but now that I’ve reached Jianmen Pass, I see the world is not as I imagined.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once war breaks out, countless lives will be lost—each one with a family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beneath the General’s glorious victories lie countless white bones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Faced with imperial edicts, the General dared not defy them—he surrendered his armor and entered prison. That was the duty of a subject; there is no blame to be placed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But he betrayed the Northland. The Northland gave him everything—sacrificed so much to make his name immortal—but he failed to secure any benefit for them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Wolf Lord beyond the frontier understands human nature well; years of cultivation have borne fruit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many in the Northland are on the verge of breaking. I arrived early at Jianmen Pass, so I heard one saying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Better to be Hu Ren than Jin Ren.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Northland has countless heroes—why fight the Hu Ren to the death? Better to take up sword and mount, ride south, and contend with the heroes of the Central Plains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Caoyuan Wolf Lord promises the Northland autonomy—adding a Northern King among the Hu Ren royal princes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang He smiled bitterly: “Many in the Northland are tempted. The Hu Ren tribes are all autonomous—the Wolf Lord’s promises are never broken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder the Mufu  faces such resistance in delivering military pay—it no longer controls the Northland.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Yaoxiang , the Mufu , the Northlanders, the Hu Ren—it’s all too chaotic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m willing to help crush the Hu Ren’s conspiracy, but I won’t aid or suppress the Northlanders’ rebellion—they’re being crushed and they’re tired of war.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Wolf Lord unites the steppe and gains the Northland’s strength, he’ll march south—the Great Jin may fall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If things go poorly in the north, come find me in Great Chen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng rose and said: “I must also go to rescue Black Eagle Elder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a respected elder cannot be sacrificed in the Northland’s struggle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang He smiled: “I knew I didn’t misjudge you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew you’d go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, the enemy is strong and numerous—we need a warrior with your nine-foot sword qi, the Five Qi in Harmony, to win.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At first I saw only a foot of it, but later learned the Earth Walker, who could sink eight feet underground, was slain by a single sword strike—only a sword qi of several feet could do that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine-foot sword qi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weren’t you following me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you blind?!\u003C\u002Fp>",2522,"2026-06-20T23:35:01.027Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","057836eddb547e1c8d324dfbac11ce8c2e8adf8d48e62e3770573542b6e8d154","system-you-ve-got-the-wrong-person-chapter-12","system-you-ve-got-the-wrong-person-chapter-10",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-you-ve-got-the-wrong-person-cover.jpg"]
