Chapter Eighty-Three: Moody
"Brothers, I want to thank you too. It was your careful preparation and scouting that allowed us to successfully kill the Assassins and reap the rewards of so many gold coins and treasures. Lin Xuan said very happily to Wang Lung and the soldiers.
Lin Xu affirmed the efforts and roles of the soldiers, and would never selfishly monopolize the credit alone. The gold coins obtained from the cave are also divided equally among everyone, and everyone has a share.
Due to the fact that when he entered the cave before, Lin Xu opened a large hole in the wall of the guest room, which formed a certain degree of damage, which had already caused losses to the innkeeper. Lin Xu was going to return to the kamikaze camp with the soldiers early tomorrow morning, and there was no time to repair the damaged walls, so he decided to directly use gold coins to compensate the innkeeper.
Lin Xu immediately sent soldiers to call the innkeeper. When he saw a large hole in the wall, the innkeeper couldn't help but be startled. Lin Xuan didn't want to make any extraneous trouble, so he hurriedly comforted him, and lied that it was broken when he was practicing in the guest room, and he would definitely be responsible for compensation, so that he didn't have to worry about being afraid.
Now that the cave behind the wall has completely collapsed and disappeared, it is impossible for the innkeeper to find out anything, even if he is more serious. Seeing that he was so timid and scared, he should be regarded as a businessman, and Lin Xuan naturally didn't need to embarrass him too much.
Lin Xu took out five gold coins, handed them to the innkeeper, and said, "These five gold coins should be regarded as my compensation for you, do you see enough?"
"Enough, enough, thank you, officer. As soon as the innkeeper saw the gold coin, he immediately turned his worries into joy, took the gold coin in Lin Xu's hand with a smile on his face, and thanked Lin Xu instead.
According to the current price level of the Shenghua Empire, the five gold coins given by Lin Xu, not to mention repairing a wall, even if it is a new guest room, it is enough. In the eyes of the innkeeper, the sale was obviously a big deal for himself.
In addition, he could also see that Lin Xuan was by no means an ordinary person, but had a great background. This can be seen not only from Lin Xu's entourage with a group of strong and strong entourage, but also from what Lin Xu just said that he can make a big hole in the wall by practicing the exercises. This kind of strength is not something that he can provoke as a small innkeeper. So as soon as he got the gold coins, he immediately took his leave and left.
Early the next morning, Lin Xu sent people to the market to buy a large carriage, loaded all the more than ten bags of gold coins obtained from the cave into the carriage, and led the soldiers back to the kamikaze camp with Wang Lung.
Seeing Lin Xu and the others bringing back such gold coins, Leopard couldn't help but be surprised and curious, and couldn't help but immediately ask Lin Xu: "Big brother, where did you get so many gold coins?"
"Hehe, let Wang Lung tell you. We're not just getting these coins, we're getting other treasures. Lin Xuan sold a pass, and replied with a smile.
Although when he was in the cave, Lin Xu told Wang Lung and the others to keep it secret, but Leopard Print was his good brother and obviously not the object that needed to be kept secret. The things in the mysterious cave can be told to him in order to satisfy his curiosity.
Leopard then took Wang Lung's hand and urged happily and anxiously: "Wang Lung, tell me quickly." I really regret that I didn't go to Wanjiao City with my eldest brother this time, otherwise I would have been able to open my eyes and see for a long time. ”
"Don't worry, let me tell you more slowly. Wang Lung said with a smile to Leopard Print.
Immediately, Wang Lung killed Lin Xu and two assassins, and then entered the cave, where he found a large number of gold coins and a mysterious iron box. Just now, he already knew from Lin Xu's words that these things could be said to Leopard Print, and even all the treasures in the iron box were told to Leopard Pattern in detail one by one.
At the end, Wang Lung also took out the magic bead given by Lin Xu and showed it to the leopard print, and said with a triumphant smile: "This is a five-star magic bead, you haven't passed it yet, right?"
"I haven't seen it. Leopard had to ask Wang Lung, "What's the use of it?"
"Big brother told me that it can provide energy to the swordsman and speed up the speed of cultivation, and it has no restrictions on the foundation of the realm, you and I can use it, so the eldest brother specially gave it to us, let us share this magic bead together. ”
"Haha! I've got a share of that, that's great. Leopard Print laughed out loud when he heard that he could also use this magic bead. As soon as he took the five-star magic bead just now, he felt the heat in his palm, which showed how huge the energy it contained, it was indeed a rare treasure, and he was able to share it with Wang Long, of course, he was very happy.
Lin Xu's trip to Wanfu City this time not only killed the assassins, but also got a batch of treasures, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone and two blessings, and it is indeed worth celebrating. He immediately ordered the gang to slaughter chickens and sheep, set up a banquet, and celebrated the harvest with the soldiers of the whole battalion.
While everyone was eating meat, drinking and indulging in joy up and down the kamikaze camp, Jiang Xingming's house in Shayang City of the Beast Control Empire was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere was also extremely solemn. Jiang Xingming seemed to be sitting calmly in the chair, but he couldn't hide the frustration and uneasiness on his face.
Jiang Xingming woke up this morning and heard the bad news that surprised and angered him. The scouts in the city deliberately ran back to report that the two assassins he sent out had been killed by Lin Xu, and one of the assassins had ended up in a different place, which was really miserable.
This time, Jiang Xingming felt even more that he had lost face at home. In the past, it was okay to send troops to attack the kamikaze camp three times and twice, but this time he sent two so-called high-level swordsmen to assassinate Lin Xu, but he only killed one person, and he also failed. If it really spreads, he feels that he can no longer sit firmly in the position of marshal.
Thinking of the scheming and price he had paid in this matter, Jiang Xingming gritted his teeth with hatred for Lin Xu, and really wanted to pick up the sword immediately to be able to cut off Lin Xu's head.
In a fit of anger, Jiang Xingming called Sun Yonglei of the Red Empire to reprimand him to relieve the anger in his heart.
"The assassination of Lin Xuan failed again, how did you arrange it? We wasted so much manpower and material resources that we couldn't even kill a small kamikaze battalion commander, you have to give me an explanation. Jiang Xingming loudly reprimanded Sun Yonglei and said.
"My lord, this assassin was not arranged by me, but personally selected by you, have you forgotten?" Sun Yonglei felt particularly aggrieved by this nest, so he had the courage to remind Jiang Xingming, so that he could get rid of some relationships and reduce some responsibilities.
"I sent the person, but the idea of assassinating Lin Xu was yours, and you must be fully responsible, and you are not allowed to pass the buck and deny it. Jiang Xingming reprimanded Sun Yonglei even louder, and also used an unquestionable commanding tone, not treating Sun Yonglei as a marshal at all. With this attitude, he even treated Sun Yonglei completely as an ordinary soldier under his command, so naturally he could blame Sun Yonglei at will.
Sun Yonglei saw Jiang Xingming getting so angry, and if he talked more, he would definitely make him even more angry, and maybe he would dare to call someone to pull him out and behead him. Moreover, Sun Yonglei is indeed on Jiang Xingming's territory now, just like a lamb to be slaughtered, he has almost no ability to protect himself, and he can only be disposed of by Jiang Xingming.
Thinking of this, Sun Yonglei didn't dare to speak out anymore. Even if Jiang Xingming's accusation of him was very unreasonable, he had to endure the humiliation and didn't even dare to say a word of defense. He felt that at this time, he could only remain silent, and wait until Jiang Xingming's anger was completely eliminated before he could discuss the next way to deal with Lin Xu. Otherwise, Jiang Xingming would not have given him the slightest room for negotiation now.
After Jiang Xingming Sun Yonglei lost his temper, he asked in a serious voice: "How do you say that we should deal with Lin Xu and his kamikaze camp now? Do we send someone to assassinate him, or do we directly send troops to attack?"
In fact, they have already used both methods, especially sending troops to attack the kamikaze camp is not a single time, but without exception they have failed. But in addition to these two methods, Jiang Xingming couldn't think of any other way, so he could only directly say these two ways to let Sun Yonglei make a choice.
"My lord, Lin Xuan is too cunning, neither of these methods seems to have any effect on him, and he can't defeat him. Sun Yonglei replied to Jiang Xingming in a low voice. He didn't dare to say that Lin Xu's strength was strong and super powerful in front of Jiang Xingming, so as not to stimulate Jiang Xingming's sore spot, so he had to say words such as "cunning" that were demeaning to Lin Xu, which made Jiang Xingming more acceptable when he heard it.
"Since the assassination can't be done, and the attack can't be done, then tell me, what else is there to deal with Lin Xu?" Jiang Xingming immediately chased after Sun Yonglei and asked.
"This ......" Sun Yonglei was immediately asked by Jiang Xingming, and he was speechless for a while, so anxious that big drops of sweat broke out on his forehead. Although he did know that the two methods of assassination and attack could not deal with Lin Xu, but like Jiang Xingming, he couldn't think of a better way at all, not even a third way.
After all, for them now, Lin Xuan is their enemy. If they wanted to kill Lin Xu, they could only use the method of attack or assassination. Apart from these two, there really is no third option.
"Say it quickly!" Jiang Xingming saw that Sun Yonglei was silent for a long time, so he shouted impatiently. His voice obviously contained a huge anger in it, which suddenly startled Sun Yonglei, who bowed his head and was silent, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
"My lord, I, I have no other way. Sun Yonglei faced Jiang Xingming's persecution, so he could only tell the truth and see how Jiang Xingming decided.
"Bastard!" Jiang Xingming glared at Sun Yonglei viciously and scolded loudly. He could no longer sit in his chair, so he stood up and paced back and forth, thinking hard about how he should deal with Lin Xuan in order to succeed in eliminating this young but extraordinarily powerful opponent.
