The second battle between Liangshan and Dulonggang ended with one death and one captive.
Naturally, there was no mention of the Zhu Village going back to arrange for the ferrying of souls. However, under the cheers of Liangshan, the Stronghold Chieftain Wang Lun did not seem very happy.
"Instructor, can I ask you something?"
Lin Chong had noticed Wang Lun's momentary absent-mindedness on the formation, and then he felt a little depressed. For some reason, his spirits were lifted when he heard Wang Lun's question.
"With Instructor's skills, what position can he be in the Imperial Army?”
Lin Chong clearly did not expect Wang Lun to ask such a question. He frowned and smiled bitterly."Big brother, there are countless capable people in the Imperial Army. Lin Chong's meager skills are truly insignificant.”
Wang Lun was a little surprised. According to the system's ranking, Lin Chong was above Rank-8. Any higher than that would only be Rank-9, above, below, or even Rank-4. It seemed that there were not many people who could beat him!
"The instructor is the instructor of the Imperial Army's 800,000 soldiers! Don't be humble!"
"Brother, Chong Lin is only the instructor of the 800,000 soldiers, but he is not the instructor of the 800,000 soldiers.”
Lin Chong didn't hide anything from Wang Lun. He gave him a detailed analysis. Only then did Wang Lun realize that the charm of the language of Chinese characters was still there. The same words combined in different combinations, or adding or removing one or two words, would have different meanings.
According to what Chong Lin said, there were at least 800 to 1000 instructors in the Imperial Army. In terms of position and status, it was indeed not surprising. Presumably, this was also the reason why the Yamen did not take him seriously.
However, Chong Lin still retained some confidence in himself and said proudly,""Lin Chong isn't talented, but he can barely make it into the top ten of the Imperial Army instructors!”
Wang Lun did not express his opinion. He felt that many things had overturned his original views, such as Lin Chong, Zhe Bie, and Shangguan Wan 'er.
Speaking of Shangguan Wan 'er, Wang Lun realized that she was standing at the door of the commander's tent from afar. She was smiling sweetly at Wang Lun, her eyes full of affection.
Wang Lun's heart warmed as he stepped forward and softly rebuked,""It's windy outside. Why didn't you rest for a while?”
"I was thinking about you, but I heard from my brothers that you killed a general. I like it, so I came out to welcome you and congratulate you!”
Wang Lun bared his teeth in a smile, his heart filled with pride. This old man, this weak scholar, was now a valiant general who could mount a horse and kill a general!”
Lin Chong was very well-behaved. When he saw Shangguan Wan 'er, he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully,"Lin Chong greets sister-in-law!"
Shangguan Wan 'er chuckled and said," Brother Lin, don't mind me. My husband has always said that Brother Lin is both martial and literary, and that he is loyal and unparalleled. I am very pleased to have a hero like Brother Lin by my husband's side. I thank Brother Lin for protecting my husband."”
Beautiful!
Wang Lun couldn't help but give her thirty-two likes in his heart. As expected of the female Prime Minister of a generation, Shangguan Wan 'er. Her words were filled with kindness, making people feel very comfortable when they heard them.
However, one called her sister-in-law while the other called her big brother. It was really messy.
In fact, Wang Lun was not clear about this. Whether it was sister-in-law or big brother, there was nothing wrong with this form of address. It was just a form of respect and did not have the meaning of seniority.
Chong Lin didn't dare to say anything, but a comforting smile appeared on his face. This woman was beautiful. He had thought that it was inevitable for a beauty to cause trouble, but now he saw that she was sensible.
Shangguan Wan 'er supported Wang Lun. That kind of posture made Wang Lun, who was used to being tormented by girls in his later life, exclaim that his luck in love was not shallow.
"Husband, were you discussing martial arts grades with Brother Lin just now?”
"Yeah, Wan 'er, you know that too?"
"Wan 'er doesn't know martial arts, but I've heard people say that.”Shangguan Wan 'er invited the two of them into the room and personally brewed some tea. She first served a cup to Lin Chong before sitting down beside Wang Lun and saying," I heard that the martial arts of the Central Plains are divided into nine grades, and there are three grades in between. I don't know exactly how they are divided and what the standards are. I only know that ordinary soldiers who practice martial arts rarely enter the lowest grade."”
"Sister-in-law is right. However, the martial arts grades are not only divided into nine grades. There is also the grandmaster realm.”
Wang Lun was very interested and quickly asked,"Grandmaster? The person who founded a sect can be a grandmaster. How many people can there be in such a big world?”
Chong Lin shook his head." It's just a rumor. It's said that there are currently six Grandmasters in the world. My Great Song has three, Liao has one, Koryo has one, and Wei Nation has one.”
"Who are the three from Great Song?"
Chong Lin shook his head again.”
Wang Lun was a little resentful, but he became interested again."Big Brother Lin, what rank do you think my martial arts can reach?”
Chong Lin was stunned. After a while, he smiled bitterly."Brother, Lin Chong really doesn't know what rank you are.”
Wang Lun wasn't angry. Instead, he was delighted. This was the same as what the system had given him. Lin Chong wasn't simple."Why?"
"Big brother didn't enter the Martial Realm in the first place, and now, he's also in the Untrailed Realm. This ranking is based on the comparison of various aspects. Big brother…it's really hard to say what rank he is.”
"Then what grade is Big Brother Lin?”
Lin Chong could tell that Wang Lun was no longer calling him Instructor, but Brother Lin. He knew that Wang Lun was now treating him as a trusted aide, and he could not help but feel energized."Back then, this little brother left his apprenticeship and traveled the world. Later, he entered the Imperial Army through a martial arts competition. Teacher said that I should be around the seventh rank. Now that I think about it, it's the same!”
The system stated that Chong Lin was above Rank-8. It seemed that Chong Lin had improved a lot over the years.
Wang Lun knew the reason why he didn't have a rank, so he let out a sigh of relief and didn't pursue the matter any further. He called for the Ruan brothers to come over for a meeting. Zhe Bie had always been by his side anyway, so there was no need to call him out.
The few of them met Shangguan Wan 'er again. Only then did Wang Lun say,"Now, our Liangshan has won two battles in a row. The teacher of the Zhu Village and Zhu Hu were captured alive, and Zhu Long was killed. This hatred is irreconcilable. What do you think we should do next?”
Everyone did not stand on ceremony and shared their views. However, most of them fought to break through the Zhu family's manor and then cut melons and vegetables along the way.
Wang Lun knew that the Zhu Village was not so easy to defeat. Just as he was about to speak, Shangguan Wan 'er spoke.
"Husband, big brother Zhu, I have something to say.”
