The next day, the sun was already high up in the sky.
Zhong Ling's mother, Gan Baobao, was a typical example of someone who was abandoned after being toyed with by the rich Duan Zheng Chun. Naturally, Zhong Ling had also been taught by her mother not to trust men easily, so she was a little worried.
"Of course, when my name is known throughout the world, I will allow you to marry me off.”Xiao Le replied with certainty.
This was not the modern world. This was ancient times. It was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. He, Xiao Le, had the ability and confidence to promise his woman.
Xiao Le did not say much, but Zhong Ling heard the determination in his words, so she was satisfied.
Just as Xiao Le was feeding the Zhong Ling Chicken Soup, a loud voice sounded outside the courtyard where Xiao Le lived.
"May I ask if young hero Xiao Le is here? I'm the chief constable of Dali, Duan Que. I have something to discuss with you, young hero.”
Xiao Le frowned when he heard this. He put down the chicken soup in his hand and said to Zhong Ling,"Ling 'er, I'll be back soon."”
"I'll go too." Zhong Ling said.
A man and a woman who were stuck together would not want to be separated for even a moment, and Zhong Ling was obviously the same.
Duan Fou had wanted to come over to find Xiao Le yesterday to understand some of the situation. However, after hearing that Xiao Le had saved the damsel in distress, the girl did not leave. Instead, she stayed at his place for the night.
"Constable Duan, why are you looking for me?" Xiao Le took a step forward and cupped his hands as he asked.
Duan Wither was not the only one who had come. There were also many people who were dressed like wealthy businessmen, officials, and landlords behind him.
Duan Qian took a silk banner from one of his subordinates and handed it to Xiao Le along with a banknote. He smiled and said,"Young hero, you helped the government arrest the obscenity thief Tian Boguang. Of course, you should be grateful."”
As he spoke, the sound of gongs and drums rang out, instantly heating up the atmosphere. The wealthy merchants, officials, and landlords who were standing obediently at the side surrounded him.
"Thank you, young hero Xiao, for getting rid of Tian Boguang, the scourge, and for avenging my daughter's chastity.”
"Young hero Xiao's martial arts are strong, why don't you stay in Dali? I have a big mansion in the city to give you.”
"Young hero Xiao, my son has always wanted to find a master to practice martial arts. If you don't give up, please accept my gift.”
Zhong Ling looked at Xiao Le socializing with everyone, and her heart was filled with pride. Not only was her sweetheart handsome, but his martial arts were also outstanding. He was also so popular. Any girl would feel proud.
Xiao Le nodded and began to share his gains with Zhong Ling.
Reputation and fame were all fake, but money was real. Tian Boguang's reward and the gratitude fee from the enthusiastic parents added together allowed Xiao Le to earn 5,000 taels of silver in an instant. With a large house, his wallet swelled up a lot.
After dinner, Xiao Le smiled and said,"Ling 'er, let's go to our new house. I'll go to your house to propose marriage in a few days. We'll confirm the status first so that others won't talk nonsense."”
Zhong Ling nodded, feeling extremely happy.
Xiao Le's new house was given to him by a wealthy businessman. There were more than ten rooms and the decoration was magnificent. It was estimated that he would not be able to buy it without one or two thousand taels of silver. The other party did not ask Xiao Le for anything, but since Xiao Le had accepted the other party's gift, he had to help the wealthy businessman deal with some matters at the critical moment.
However, Xiao Le did not have any objections to this kind of relationship. This was the way most people in the martial arts world lived. They paid their own strength, exterminated bandits, escorted escorts, and earned money to maintain their comfortable lives.
Of course, there were also some people who relied on martial arts to steal, kill, and rob. However, those who did so generally did not live long. After all, in this Jianghu, if you did bad things, you would encounter experts and be killed at any time.
He spent a few days happily with Zhong Ling in his new home. He practiced martial arts during the day and enjoyed some boudoir fun with Zhong Ling at night.
Until one day, Zhang Wuji came to visit.
