Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 80: Reward
Lin Yi came to Du Song and the other two.
Du Song was sitting on the ground, and Han Ji had taken out the hidden weapon on his leg. It turned out to be a tailless sleeve dart. Fortunately, the dart was non-toxic and did not hurt his bones and muscles, but a lot of blood flowed.
The two carried wound medicine with them and bandaged it properly.
Seeing that he could not help, Lin Yi went to retrieve the arrow and wiped it clean with wild grass. Although he had gradually become accustomed to this kind of fighting, the bloody smell still made people uncomfortable. After digging a pit and hastily burying the two, Han Ji came over and asked: "Junior Brother Lin, can you find out the origins of these people--"
Lin Yi shook his head, raised his hand and threw the things he had searched from the two people in front of Han Ji. He said: "There are no marks on the two people. These leftovers, Senior Brother Han can check them."
Du Song also limped over and nodded gently at Lin Yi, with a flash of gratitude in his eyes.
Lin Yi himself had no ill feelings towards Du Song, and he raised the corner of his mouth without commenting. As long as you don't bully me, I will never bully you.
Han Ji turned over the things on the ground and sighed: "It's just some silver, hidden weapons, and medicines carried with me, but there is nothing to prove my identity."
Du Song spat fiercely and cursed: "Damn it, I was robbed and killed one after another along the way, but I don't know the origin of the other party. It's really annoying!"
Han Ji turned his head to look at Lin Yi and said with emotion: "Fortunately, Junior Brother Lin is here, otherwise you and I will die today!"
Hearing this, Du Song looked at Lin Yi with embarrassment, hesitated for a while, and said: "I have offended you in the past, Junior Brother Lin, don't take it to heart, Du... owes you a life!"
Lin Yi smiled and waved his hands to the two of them, saying: "We are all brothers from the same school. It is our duty to help each other in times of crisis. Don't say more. If the two senior brothers continue to do this, it will make Lin Yi uneasy."
Han Ji smiled and said: "Then I won't I was too formal with Junior Brother Lin. I didn't expect that Junior Brother's martial arts were good. There are probably few people in the Foreign Affairs Hall who can rival you! "
Du Song stared at Lin Yi and sighed: "Junior Brother Lin has only been a disciple for a short time and has not practiced martial arts, but it is true that he used my Nine Dragon Sword Technique against the enemy. I guess Junior Brother has been practicing hard behind the scenes, which is admirable!"
As he said, Du Song asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Junior Brother can defend against the enemy with the same sword technique, but why are we so much worse?"
Han Ji also echoed: "Yes, Junior Brother's sword technique is indeed the Nine Dragon Sword Technique. We have practiced it for more than ten years and are very familiar with it. Why is the same sword technique so powerful once Junior Brother uses it? And where did Junior Brother get the crossbow? I have never seen Junior Brother take it out." As he said, he asked for the small crossbow in the leather bag behind Lin Yi to take a look.
Du Song also came over and praised the exquisiteness of the crossbow.
Watching the two playing with the small crossbow, Lin Yi said casually: "I saw a hunter carrying this thing in Qincheng. I liked its small and exquisiteness, so I bought it. I didn't expect it to help a lot today, haha!"
Han Ji and the others had also seen the power of the small crossbow. After hearing what Lin Yi said, they were envious. Next time I see it, I will buy one no matter what. At the critical moment, this is a good thing to save your life.
"As for swordsmanship, I also practiced blindly, and maybe I am still inferior to the two brothers! I think that swordsmanship is for people to use. When defending against the enemy, I can adapt to the situation and not be limited by swordsmanship. But with all my strength, I can only protect myself today, not as good as the brothers said."
Lin Yi's words were humble and seemed to be true and false. Han Ji and the others listened and felt that it made sense. When practicing swordsmanship in the future, you can try it. Maybe you can also be like this junior brother Lin, find a unique way to make your swordsmanship go to the next level!
It was getting late, the three of them rested for a while, packed up and set off again.
Not far ahead, there were footsteps in front, as if there were many people coming, which made Han Ji and Du Song look nervous again. Only Lin Yi drove the carriage and didn't care.
A group of people appeared in front of the three people, and Han Ji couldn't help but feel relieved. The people who came were the patrol disciples of the Tianlong Sect. The green-shirted disciples were in front, the blue-shirted disciples were in the middle, and more than ten gray-shirted disciples followed.
These people saw that Du Song was covered in blood and Han Ji was also disheveled, so they hurried forward to ask.
Han Ji briefly recounted what happened on the way. The green-shirted disciple who led the way said that he had written it down and asked Han Ji to report it in detail after returning to the mountain gate, and then ordered the disciples behind him to send a few people to escort the three people back to the mountain.
A few people ran out from the back, which made Lin Yi smile. The three people running out from the back of the crowd were Jiang Fangdi.
Jiang Fangdi ran in front, blinking at Lin, but said loudly to the blue-shirted disciple: "I dare not trouble you, brothers, we three are willing to go!"
This time, the mountain gate was forced by the people in the martial arts world, so the Tianlong Sect sent all the disciples out to try to eliminate the hidden dangers near Jiulong Mountain. It is much less dangerous to go back to the mountain, and patrolling the mountain is the most important thing, not to mention that the ordinary gray-shirted disciples are useless. Seeing this, the blue-shirted disciple agreed and nodded and said: "Okay! Be careful on the way back, and don't forget to warn when you meet the enemy." After speaking, this person waved his hand and led the rest to continue forward.
Jiang Fangdi said "obey the order" and ran to Lin Yi's car without stopping. He smiled and said: "Haha, I heard that my junior brother went out and returned today. The three of us are still worried. I hope nothing happened, I hope nothing happened!" His words were full of joy. He pulled Lin Yi's arm and looked him up and down.
"Senior Brother Lin..." Xu Yuexiu's eyes were like waves, and she was shy and speechless.
"Junior Brother——!"
Dai Yuanhai also looked concerned and greeted with a smile.
Feeling the sincerity of the three people, Lin Yi jumped out of the car with a smile and said, "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you three friends!"
"I just heard from Senior Brother Han that the journey was very dangerous. I have to talk to my brother about the details!" Jiang Fangdi wished he could defend Lin Yi from the enemy so that he could prove his martial arts skills.
Lin nodded and said yes, but it was getting late and there were still ten or twenty miles to go, so he signaled to Han Ji in front of him and the group set off again.
The sun sets in the west, the blue sky is filled with colorful clouds, and the afterglow burns through the sky.
On the mountain road, there are shadows of trees, the sound of wheels, and the clatter of horse hooves.
Lin Yi was driving the car, and Xu Yue was sitting next to Lin Yi. Her neck was filled with red clouds, her bright eyes were warm, and she was smiling. But after a few people pushed her aside, she had no choice but to sit at the front of the car, unable to hide the joy in her brows. Jiang Fangdi and Dai Yuanhai were walking beside the car, one on the left and one on the right.
Lin Yi recounted what happened on the road, omitting the mention of what could be saved. In short, there was no danger.
Even so, Jiang Fangdi's blood was boiling, especially when he heard Lin Yi shooting his opponent with a crossbow bolt when he was fighting with a master, he was so excited.
"Senior brother uses the Nine Dragons Sword Technique——!" A soft whisper came into his ear.
Hearing Xu Yue's question, Lin turned around, and the fragrance hit his face, like jasmine at noon, refreshing, leaving a fragrance on the tip of his nose that he couldn't bear to pay attention to.
Facing those beautiful eyes like stars, Lin Yi paused, then grabbed the reins and nodded with a smile.
"Senior brother is really beyond the reach of others! Facing the masters of the martial arts world, he does not fall behind -" Xu Yue's eyes flashed with excitement on her face.
Xu Yue and the others had become proficient in the swordsmanship and boxing techniques modified by Lin Yi. Now hearing such a fierce battle clearly confirmed the excellence of the swordsmanship. How could the three of them not be deeply inspired.
The three of them also told Lin Yi about the incident in front of the mountain gate. The Tianlong Sect disciple competition ended hastily. The inner sect disciples who entered the last twenty were not ranked high and low, and the leader Mu Tiancheng announced that the competition was over. Immediately, all Tianlong Sect disciples mobilized to drive away the harassers with all their strength.
The Tianlong Sect was furious with thunder, and everyone in the world was frightened. There were those who were still hesitantly waiting and looking, but they were all captured by the Tianlong faction and taken into custody, while the rest dispersed like birds and beasts.
From this, we learned that the attack on Lin Yi and Han Ji on the way was not unrelated to this.
Back at the mountain gate, it was already time to turn on the lanterns. Hu and Wan came up to inquire about the news outside the mountain gate.
All the disciples of the Tianlong Sect were dispatched, but the horse-breeding disciple was excluded. The three of them could only guard the stables honestly, and could only hear hearsay about what happened outside the mountain gate. It was rare that Lin Yicai came back from abroad, so he couldn't help but ask questions to satisfy his curiosity.
After dinner, Lin Yi was called by Han Ji to see Manager Mu.
There were probably a few more lanterns in Guanshi Mu's small courtyard, making everything look much brighter.
Steward Wood was sitting on a wooden chair, with Butler Pi and Juniper standing next to him.
As soon as Lin followed Han Ji into the courtyard, he saw Guanshi Mu's face, which was as white as a steamed bun for dinner. He was instantly full of smiles and looked like a wrinkled bun.
"I've seen Mr. Mu——" Han Ji and Lin Yi saluted.
"Okay! Okay! Everyone is here -!" Manager Mu leaned forward slightly on the wooden chair, laughing, his face full of kindness.
After Lin Yi saluted, he behaved humbly and stood with his head bowed.
"You did a good job on this mission. Jun Song was not afraid in the face of danger and took the lead bravely. Han Ji was decisive in doing things and deserved a lot of credit. The Foreign Affairs Hall has always given clear rewards and punishments, and the head has also given orders to treat meritorious disciples of my Tianlong Sect without mercy. Rewards. Therefore, I have decided to reward each of you with fifty taels of silver. A detailed record of your achievements will be recorded, and the inner sect will also give you different rewards."
Han and Ji were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude. Manager Mu waved his hand, and a man came out of the back room, holding a tray and bringing money to the two of them.
Han Ji and Du Song couldn't help but put away their money.
Han Ji collected the money and suddenly felt something was wrong. He quickly turned around and looked at Lin Yi. Seeing that he was indifferent, he stood still. He secretly thought to himself that he had informed Guanshi Mu in detail about what he encountered on the way, and Lin Yi's contribution was self-evident. Why is there no reward?
"This is a copy of a set of palm techniques. You two can use it to practice, and it is not allowed to be passed on to anyone else!" Manager Mu took out another booklet from his arms and handed it to Han Ji. The latter wanted to remind Guan Mu, but when he saw this, he hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Manager Mu smiled broadly, and the two of them looked grateful, which made him very satisfied. As a human being, you can control the fate of others and give rewards and punishments to reflect your identity and status in the sect. This feels good!
Even if you don't eat for a day, you won't starve to death. And rights, for those in power, are something that cannot be lacking even a day. The huge foreign affairs hall and the many obedient disciples gave Mu Guanshi the arrogance of his peak days. Perhaps he also had a bit of the calm and gentle charm of Mu Guanshi!
Manager Mu was a little distracted, but his smile did not change. He stretched out his hand a little more reservedly, and said in a light voice: "You are Lin Yi..."
"Yes!" Lin didn't even look up.
"You did a good job on this errand, and there were no mistakes. You are also very diligent, and I see it in my eyes. I will reward you with ten taels of silver, so don't let me live up to my hard work!" Manager Mu said in a friendly tone. Gentle, gentle and kind, he seemed to value Lin Yi particularly, but in fact, he felt otherwise. What Han Ji said when he came back may not be true. Who would believe that a disciple who had just started his apprenticeship could save his fellow disciples and fend off powerful enemies?
In short, Mu Guanshi scoffed at what Han Ji said and didn't believe anything he said. The reward of ten taels of silver is already a generous reward.
Han Ji and Du Song just looked at each other with guilt in their eyes.
"Thank you, Steward Mu!" Lin Yi looked calm and polite, neither excited nor dissatisfied.
Steward Mu waved his hand with some disinterest. The man beside him walked to Lin Yi with a plate.
Lin Yi slowly raised his head, raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at the other person, and reached out to take the silver and put it in his arms.
"Congratulations, Lin... Junior Brother Lin!" The man's face flashed with panic, and he hurriedly congratulated.
"Haha, thank you, Senior Brother Jin!" Lin Yi smiled and said lightly.
This person was Jin Ke. Facing Lin Yi, he was no longer arrogant, but just accompanied him carefully, with a flattering expression on his forced smile. Lin Yi didn't want to get entangled with him, and was afraid that others would see something strange, so he put away the silver and stood aside, silent.
Fortunately, no one noticed Jin Ke's abnormality.
"Deacon Pi——!" Steward Mu called softly.
Steward Pi bowed and replied: "I'm here!"
"You've been in the carriage and horse courtyard for many years. Even if you haven't made any achievements, you've worked hard. The fertilizer farm is short of staff, so you can take charge of it!" Steward Mu's smile faded.
The fertilizer farm, to put it bluntly, is where the disciples go to the toilet. It doesn't have a good reputation, but with a few more disciples under his command, he can get more salary. For Steward Pi, it is a very practical job. For this, he happily thanked him.
