(P.S., I'm leaving this a big cliffhanger; the Uncle Ying series will be even more exciting. Also, strictly speaking, Wang Mang wasn't a time traveler, but rather a time traveler like Yi Xiaochuan and Zhao Gao, someone who didn't belong to an outside world.)
"We perished together with the enemy ten years ago..." the middle-aged man murmured, then said, "In that case, there's no need to keep searching. Our energy is limited after all. The things our master arranges for us are the most important. If we want our family to prosper again, we must do things to our master's satisfaction. Survival is not easy, and developing the family is even more difficult. Now, working under our master, there is great competition even among our own kind. The Los family has declined. We should focus our energy on more important things."
"Yes, Father." The girl nodded upon hearing this. Curious, she asked, "Father, who is the head of our family?"
"I won't ask what I shouldn't ask," the middle-aged man said after a moment of silence. He then fell silent again. In truth, he didn't know who their master was, or even what kind of person he was—whether he was human or some kind of supernatural being. It was absurd, but it was the truth. Their family's strength and influence were far too weak; compared to their master's vast power, their influence was negligible.
Just as the father and daughter remained silent, a faint, emotionless voice suddenly rang out in the office. "Earl Los, how's the matter I assigned you going?"
Upon seeing the man who suddenly appeared in the office dressed in ancient eunuch clothes, the middle-aged man quickly and respectfully replied, "Reporting to Lord Gao, the warlord in the neighboring town has been brought under control by me."
Although the person dressed as a eunuch was a living person, Count Los did not dare to underestimate him at all. He even went to learn about ancient Chinese etiquette and ways of speaking.
The man dressed as a eunuch asked, "How's the roundup of the monsters and villains in the vicinity going?"
Upon hearing this, Earl Los quickly and respectfully replied, "In response to Lord Gao, most of them have already been gathered. At most, within three months, all the spirits and villains in the vicinity will be under control."
"Not bad." Upon hearing this, Master Gao nodded and said, "The master said that the nearby church is a real eyesore. You two are old rivals, so I'll leave this matter to you."
"Yes, Lord Gao." Upon hearing this, Earl Los said excitedly, "I will certainly not fail my master's trust and will destroy the nearby church as quickly as possible. Lord Gao, what should be done with the nuns in those churches?"
"If they remain stubborn, then kill them. This land already has enough faith; it doesn't need any more," Lord Gao said calmly, his voice still devoid of any emotion.
Count Los quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Master Gao continued, "Also, a foreign zombie has appeared nearby. The master might like it, so I'm entrusting this matter to you as well."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly capture that foreign zombie and hand it over to Lord Gao to present to the master." Count Los quickly said, "Lord Gao, you must speak well of the Los family to the master. The Los family is willing to go through fire and water for the master."
"We must get this done as soon as possible," said Lord Gao.
"Your subordinate will certainly carry out the matters instructed by you perfectly, sir," Earl Los said immediately, bowing his head. When he looked up again, the high-ranking official had vanished without a trace.
"Father, our chance has come." After the old man left, the girl in the Western-style dress excitedly said to the middle-aged man, "This time, it's the master's personal order."
“That’s right.” Upon hearing this, Earl Los nodded and said, “So we not only need to handle this matter as quickly as possible, but also do it well and without leaving any trace.”

"What's wrong?" Uncle Nine asked, looking at the little zombie gesturing anxiously in front of him as he returned home.
The little zombie eagerly jumped to the side, found some gongs, hung the basket on itself like armor, and then began to recreate the scene for Uncle Nine.
"You mean an uncle who sells vegetables came to buy vegetables?" Ah Fang guessed.
"Have you seen that uncle who comes to sell vegetables late at night?" Qiu Sheng rolled his eyes at Fang and asked the little zombie, "You mean a thief broke into the house and stole some things?"
Upon hearing this, the little zombie shook its head. It continued its performance, still looking scared.
After everyone had been guessing for half an hour, and the little zombie was getting a little tired, Uncle Nine guessed, "You mean a strange person wearing armor has come?"
Upon hearing this, the little zombie immediately perked up and nodded quickly.
"So what did he do here?" Uncle Nine asked. "Did he find you?"
The little zombie immediately nodded again, indicating that it had been discovered. It then continued its performance.
"Not only did they find you, they also tried to take you away. In the end, you hid in the room, and that strange man in armor left?" Uncle Nine asked. "Were you injured?"
The little zombie thought for a moment, then shook its head. It couldn't quite articulate what Wang Han had said.

The next day, at the church in the town next to Uncle Nine's town.
More than twenty soldiers, armed, followed their captain to this place. Further behind them, two figures, one tall and one short, shrouded in black robes, silently followed. They were Earl Los and his daughter. This matter concerned their master's personal arrangements, the family's potential for renewed prosperity; they wanted to see the church burned down before they could feel at ease.
"boom......"
The security captain had just led his soldiers to the church when a violent explosion suddenly rang out inside, instantly collapsing half of the church.
