Chapter 43: Lu Gong's Courtyard, meeting the General Envoy! [Seeking monthly tickets! ] Walked out of Linjiangsi. Lin Yan silently put away the Linjiang Flag and took a deep breath: "What happened last night was more complicated than I expected." He thought so and looked back again. These three subordinates are considered pretty good at the moment. He asked Yang Zhubu to confess the matter of worshipping evil spirits face to face. He just wanted to see with his own eyes how these three small flags would react. If they are frightened by the "worship of evil spirits", they will be of no use. Even if they are willing to stay in the end, they cannot be entrusted with important tasks. But now it seems that these three people are much more stable and reliable than imagined. "That's right. If they had followed Liang Hu and left last night, they would have had a chance to survive. But if they chose to stay, they would have been prepared to die." Lin Yan thought to himself, “Between life and death, they were able to make the decision to die. They may not be wise, but their character is worthy of respect.”
As he thought this, he walked towards a place not far away and crossed the alley. After sensing his surroundings and finding no one was watching, he immediately turned over his clothes and changed his attire. He hid his sword, covered his crossbow, and took out another object to cover his shoe. When he walked out of the alley from the other end, he took off the disguise on his face and turned into Lin Yan again. - Inside Linjiangsi. The three small flags are responsible for assisting Chief Clerk Yang in dealing with today's affairs. "Congratulations to the three of you for returning to Linjiang Division." Yang Zhubu said with a smile. "We also have to thank Chief Yang for speaking for the three of us in front of the Fifth Master." The middle-aged man with missing ears said with a bow. "It is you three who are loyal and righteous, and you have won the Fifth Master's favor." Yang Zhubu said this, and then said: "However, the appearance of the evil worship method is definitely not ordinary. You three actually chose to stay, which is really unexpected." "Apart from holding a knife, I have no other skills to support my family." Zou Jin, who had lost an ear, touched half of his ear and said with a smile. "I can do some hard work." Zheng Liu held the small flag in his hand and said with a smile, "But I'd rather work in Linjiang Division. I can earn more money and use it to pay for my mother's medical treatment." "Yang thought that it was the Fifth Master's domineering power that won you over and made you loyal and willing to die for him." Yang Zhubu laughed and said, "So you all came here for this silver." "Master Yang underestimated them." Xiao Hui sat on the side, lowered his head to wipe the knife in his hand, and said slowly: "They are willing to stay, and more importantly, they have seen the determination of the Fifth Master to protect Linjiangfang!" "Besides, protecting Linjiangfang means protecting their own home." "Of course, silver is also important." "Working in Linjiangsi, they can protect their families and earn money. If they die, they will receive a pension. Nowadays, there are very few such good jobs in Gaoliu City." After saying this, he put the knife in his hand back into the scabbard.
"They all chose to work hard because they had no better way out." Yang Zhubu said with a smile: "What about Xiaohui? You are alone and don't have to support your family. With your skills, you can go anywhere. Why are you willing to stay?" "If you want to succeed in martial arts, you can't do without a medicinal bath. I'm thinking about this medicinal bath that strengthens the blood and strengthens the body." Xiaohui stood up, waved his hand, and walked out holding a willow branch night light. "What are you going to do?" "The flag bearer has ordered me to leave the city after daybreak and deliver a letter to Huai Zun." "..." Looking at his receding back, Yang Zhubu smiled and shook his head. Zou Jin then took his hand away from his ear and his expression became serious: "This kid looks like he has no relatives or friends, but in his heart, half of Linjiangfang is his home, and it is all his concern." Then, Zou Jin looked at the knife in his hand and said with a smile: "When I got home last night, I found that a monster had almost broken into my door... and then was nailed to the ground by a crossbow arrow." "Crossbow?" Zheng Liu asked in surprise. "A crossbow specially made by the Tianshi Division." Zou Jin exhaled slowly and said, "You all saw that the flag bearer had a crossbow hanging on the right side of his waist." "clear." Yang Zhubu spread his hands and walked out. There was silence for a moment. Then Zheng Liu let out a breath and continued, "So, you want to use Yang Zhubu to tell the flag bearer that we are sincerely submitting to you?" "After all, I followed Liang Hu before, so I had some unpleasantness with our Fifth Master. I have to express my feelings." Zou Jin touched the missing half of his ear and said with a smile, "I guess you don't want to work hard for Master Wu in the future but not be trusted, right?" ——The sky gradually brightened. In Linjiangfang, there is Mr. Lu’s courtyard. It was predicted that Mr. Lu had woken up at this moment, so Lin Yan went to visit him. But I didn't expect that there was another person in the yard. Han Zheng, the general commander of the Outer South Division. "Have breakfast?" When General Han heard the noise, he turned his head and looked over with a smile. The scar on his face was faintly visible in the slightly dim sky, looking a little hideous. "If it weren't for this scar, the General Envoy would still look somewhat elegant." Lin Yan thought this in his heart, but walked to the side. At this moment, Mr. Lu was walking out with a pot of hot porridge.
The honest middle-aged man lowered his head and added firewood to the stove. "Coming?" Mr. Lu had just opened his mouth when his hand lightened and the pot of porridge was taken over by Lin Yan. The old man was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on his face. Just glancing over, he saw General Han and could not help but curse: "Look at you, you have no intention of respecting the elderly and loving the young? You come here to eat and drink for free, sit around and be lazy, you are really disgusting, bah!" "..." After being scolded for no apparent reason, General Han was completely stunned. He opened his mouth, but for a moment no words came out. He then looked at Lin Yan, his expression becoming increasingly complicated. "Why haven't you been so polite to me in the past?" "The general is in his prime, well versed in martial arts, and it's not worth my involvement in such a trivial matter." Lin Yan brought the porridge to the table and said calmly: "Mr. Lu is old and weak, so I will just do this little chore to save him some energy. It's my duty..." As he said this, he pulled out a chair and invited Mr. Lu to sit down. Mr. Lu smiled and slowly sat down. Han Zongqi Envoy suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if smiling: "You always come to my house for no reason. Now you are showing your courtesy for no reason. You must have some ulterior motive!" "nonsense!" Mr. Lu slammed the table and said angrily, "We are close friends regardless of age. Do you have the right to butt in on our interactions?" After saying this, Mr. Lu patted the wooden chair beside him and motioned for Lin Yan to sit down. Then Lin Yan sat down and poured porridge into a bowl. General Han laughed and was about to speak. But then I saw Lin Yan had already lowered his head and started drinking porridge. So he took back his words and picked up the bowl silently. The atmosphere suddenly became silent. The sky is bright, the sun is shining, and the morning sunrise is illusory. The honest middle-aged man also came out with some side dishes. But he frowned, stood by the table, and looked at the three people who were eating porridge in silence with their heads down. "You three, just speak your mind, okay?" The simple-minded middle-aged man felt itchy all over, and a sense of anxiety enveloped his whole body. He couldn't help but angrily said, "Why are you all more patient than the other?"
"You guys have something to hide, but I feel like I'm being tickled." "Everyone knows it, so why play hide and seek?" "What kind of concentration are you comparing?" "Are you pretending to be so deep?" (End of this chapter)
