How could a dignified commandant be really drunk?
He was just pretending to be drunk in order to become sworn brothers with Lin Yi.
Chu Xiongxin could tell that he had to quickly curry favor with Lin Yi while he was in his own camp. He could not afford to be slow in the future.
Such a person would soon be on par with him.
He might even become his immediate superior!
A commandant becoming sworn brothers with a captain was not a pleasant thing to say, and Chu Xiongxin could not deny this.
Then, pretending to become sworn brothers after drinking would explain everything…
"Lin Yi, if you don't acknowledge me as your big brother, you're looking down on me!”
"Lord Commandant, this…you are a military officer with a rank. I am just a small captain.”
Lin Yi said politely.
The commandant was anxious and misunderstood Lin Yi's meaning, thinking that Lin Yi was asking him for an official position.
He rolled his eyes and pulled Qin Hu over.
"Centurion Qin, I want to transfer another official position to you. How about you become an advisor in my commandant army?”
What was an advisor?
It was a person who gave advice to the commandant, similar to a counselor.
Of course, Commandant Chu was not really asking Qin Hu to come up with a plan. This was a move to promote him openly but demote him secretly.
It looked like Qin Hu had been promoted, but in reality, he had lost his military power.
However, Qin Hu had already been completely convinced by Lin Yi, and he had no intention of competing for it. Moreover, he did not have to manage the military affairs of the camp anymore as an advisor, and he would receive an additional three taels of silver a month. Why would Qin Hu not do it?
After Qin Hu happily agreed, the commandant officially handed the Centurion's sword and Centurion Seal to Lin Yi.
Then, he leaned against Lin Yi's ear and whispered,
"Assassinating the enemy's fifth-grade General is a great achievement. I'll have to trouble you to be the centurion for now. In a few days, I'm afraid the General will personally reward you.”
"At that time, there will be a promotion.”
Lin Yi waved his hand.
"Big brother, what are you talking about? It's not a grievance. It's not a grievance to be a centurion at all.”
On the other hand, Commandant Chu was afraid that Lin Yi would be unhappy if he gave him too little of an official position.
If nothing unexpected happened, the lieutenant and even the general would have to personally move Lin Yi to their own camp.
The Commandant Army could no longer leave Lin Yi. If Lin Yi really left, they would never be able to win such a beautiful battle again. Chu Xiongxin knew this better than anyone else.
……
Chizhou City, Yuyan Pavilion.
Ning Jin 'er looked troubled.
"Isn't it three hundred thousand taels? Why did it rise to 320,000 taels?”
"What a coincidence. Our Yuyan Pavilion has been searching for this bow for thirty years at a high price, and we have never had a customer who could afford it.”
The shopkeeper also said with a troubled expression,
"Normally, we can't take out the items that others have reserved, but the Ning and Lin families are big families in Chizhou, and we have a friendship between us. The other party placed a deposit of ten thousand silver taels, and the small shop broke the contract to sell the bow to you, so naturally, we have to pay the other party twice the deposit.”
Ning Jin 'er frowned."
"I wonder who the person who ordered the Dragon Tongue Bow is.”
The shopkeeper said,"
"Judging from his accent, he's not from here. He's handsome and has many guards around him.”
"Alright, I understand."
Ning Jin 'er gritted her teeth and took off her jewelry one by one.
His younger brother, Ning Heng, was puzzled.
"My dear sister, why are you so stubborn?”
"I'll pay for the silver. This is a bow for brother-in-law, why do you have to use your own money?”
Ning Jin 'er smiled."
"You don't understand the meaning behind this. This is something I'm giving to your brother-in-law. If it's mixed with other people's money, this favor won't be pure.”
Ning Jin 'er insisted on selling her jewelry. She sold a pair of jade bracelets and the exquisite jade card that she had worn since she was young.
Together with the cloth and raw materials that the clothing store originally brought in, they barely managed to make up this amount.
Finally, she got the rare divine bow!
"Aiya, so heavy!"
"Ning Heng, come and help me get the bow."
Ning Heng was 16 years old, and he looked thin. He couldn't even lift the bow with both hands!
"Shopkeeper, how many pounds is this bow?”
"It's not heavy, it's not heavy. It's 35 catties."
Ning Heng was speechless.
Ning Heng looked at Ning Jin 'er."
"Sis, can my brother-in-law pull such a heavy bow? After he receives the bow, will he scold you for murdering your husband?”
"Bah!"
"Ning Heng, don't you know how to put it nicely? I spent 320,000 taels of silver, all my money!”
However, when Ning Heng mentioned this, Ning Jin 'er started to worry.
He couldn't even lift a bow that weighed thirty-five pounds. Lin Yi still had to pull it open and shoot an arrow…
Could he really use it?
Ning Jin 'er didn't understand this, but she thought that since this bow could be made, there must be someone who could use it. Perhaps Lin Yi could pull it open?
After Ning Heng carried the bow home with difficulty, the two elders of the Lin family looked at Ning Jin 'er and said,
The expensive jewelry and gold and jade accessories had all disappeared. They were dressed plainly and were puzzled.
Ning Jin 'er smiled sweetly and wrote a letter to Lin Yi in the study."
"Husband's letter, wife has received it."
" You miss your wife, and your wife will also wait for you to return early. It's tough in the military camp. There's a chill in the morning and evening. You need to wear clothes to keep warm. You can't be too young and neglect your body. You need to eat three meals a day..."
Lin Yi's letter to his family had five pages, three of which were for Ning Jin 'er.
Ning Jin 'er wrote fourteen pages for Lin Yi.
Ning Jin 'er's letter was equivalent to seven or eight others' letters, and she also had a bow that weighed thirty-five pounds. He wondered what kind of expression she would have when she returned to collect the letter…
The three-day deadline will be up in the blink of an eye. The messenger will come to pick up the bow today.
Meanwhile, an elegant " youth " dressed as a man waved a folding fan and led a group of servants to Yuyan Pavilion.
They were here to retrieve their bows…
