Green bricks and dark tiles, flowers bloom by the path, their fragrance dyeing her clothes; vermilion gates and purple palaces, bare hands pluck stars, neon lights adorn her gown.
Chapter 51 Picked Up for Free
What made Fan Jin particularly angry was that, whether it was a dart or a machete, the little girl could use them very well after picking them up.
Especially the big knife given by Sun Sanniang, the little girl threw it very accurately.
He was forced to throw away his clothes and run away shirtless.
It seems that this girl can use any weapon smoothly no matter what she gets, so just don't give her any weapons, just run as fast as you can.
Fan Jin used all his strength and ran desperately.
It is very cold inside the cave. I would shiver when I stayed inside in the summer, let alone now it is autumn.
If he hadn't been running away, he would have been shivering with cold.
Fan Jin shouted to Sun Sanniang as he ran, "Don't send her any more weapons. I don't even dare to throw darts. It was my darts that killed the boss before, and then your first sword caused me to lose my shirt. I can only run away with my bare chest."
But Fan Jin's call was still a step too late.
The second knife in Sun Sanniang's hand had already been thrown towards Lin Qianqian.
Fan Jin was so angry. How could this brainless Sun Sanniang send weapons to that little girl again? Your vicious heart was wasted.
Sure enough, after a moment, Fan Jin turned around and saw that the little girl picked up the second knife and threw it towards him again.
Fan Jin was stabbed in the left leg by the big knife and fell to the ground.
He is so unlucky. This girl has a grudge against him, right? Why did she pick on him?
It was clearly the sword that Sun Sanniang threw at her, but she picked it up and threw it at him.
Lin Qianqian sighed: "Alas, I can never change this bad habit. When fighting, I always like to hit the men first and then the women."
After hearing this, Fan Jin was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
In the blink of an eye, Fan Jin, who had injured his leg, was pinned to the ground by Zhao Xiaoliu.
Zhao Xiaoliu felt a slight pain in his shoulder from being pierced by a dart. "You bastard, you dare to throw a dart at me, I'll beat you to death."
Zhao Xiaoliu punched Fan Jin in the face several times, leaving him with a bruised nose and swollen face.
Even Fan Jin’s biological parents wouldn’t be able to recognize him in this state.
Fan Jin regretted a lot: If he had known that he would not be able to escape the fate of being caught, he would have simply not run away and not thrown darts. At least he would not have ended up in this miserable state now, with his left leg chopped off and his face swollen.
Sun Sanniang, without a weapon in her hand, was still trying desperately to escape.
Lin Qianqian decided to fight quickly and rush back to the county town to save people.
Then Zhao Xiaoliu saw Lin Qianqian float to Sun Sanniang like a gust of wind and pressed Sun Sanniang to the ground.
Zhao Xiaoliu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Auntie, you can run so fast, why were you so slow before? Are you playing tricks on them?"
"No, just now the three of them had weapons in their hands, which was too dangerous, so I slowly consumed their strength."
Zhao Xiaoliu: Okay, you are the boss, whatever you say is right.
Lin Qianqian tied up Sun Sanniang and found a night-shining pearl as big as an egg from her body.
This thing was just lent to the bandits for viewing, and now it has been returned to its original owner.
Two hours later, Lin Qingping and his men took all the bandits to the foot of the mountain.
He had never expected that he would win a complete victory without losing a single soldier, and he got a great credit for nothing.
If other generals in the capital knew about this, they would be so jealous that they would die.
Back then, when Emperor Yan first said he wanted to suppress bandits, those generals thought it was a difficult task and no one was willing to step forward.
Looking back, those generals will definitely regret it to death.
Lin Qingping wanted to say a few words to Lin Qianqian, but looked around but couldn't find Lin Qianqian.
Zhao Xiaoliu: "Lord Lin, because two people were seriously injured, Miss Lin rushed to treat them. Before she left, she asked Lord Lin to escort all the bandits and their property back to Beijing. My people are responsible for sending the people looted by the bandits back home."
~
A day and a half later, the bandits were escorted to the capital.
The Emperor of Yan and all his ministers were stunned.
This speed! It's really fast!
When Emperor Yan first proposed sending troops to suppress the bandits, not only Prime Minister Wang opposed it, but also a group of military generals.
Because the bandits in the Guanxi Mountain area were too cunning and the imperial court had failed in its previous attempts to suppress them, no one wanted to take on this troublesome task.
But he didn't expect that Lin Qingping would get a great bargain.
Lin Qingping stood in the main hall, full of vigor and vitality.
"Your Majesty, this is all thanks to Lin Xiaoqi. None of the 300 men I brought were injured." His words hinted at not competing for credit.
The officials became even more excited.
What? How is this possible?
More than 300 bandits were captured alive, and not a single soldier from the imperial court was injured.
This is unprecedented!
Are those bandits all stupid? Just standing there waiting for you to catch them?
Isn’t it said that the bandits in the Guanxi Mountain area are particularly dangerous?
You know, among the group of more than 40 officials who went to perform their duties a few days ago, only one survived, and that was by luck.
Lin Qingping: "Your Majesty, those bandits have been rampant in Tong County for many years and have accumulated a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. I have brought them all back."
Emperor Yan wanted to give Lin Qianqian a good face, so he ordered, "Order someone to bring him up immediately."
Soon four large boxes were carried into the Xuanwu Hall.
When the box was opened, it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, dazzling and dazzling.
The Emperor of Yan was delighted: "The national treasury is now even more abundant. Well done to Minister Lin, and also to Lin Xiaoqi. You have all made great contributions."
This Mr. Lin is not that Mr. Lin. The other Mr. Lin, Lin Qingyun, is hiding his head and pretending to be a quail.
Lin Qingyun now does not ask for praise when he attends court every day, but only hopes not to be targeted by Emperor Yan, and he is thankful for that.
Lin Qingyun felt very unhappy. It was his own daughter who had made the great contribution, but everyone treated him as an invisible person and congratulated his second brother.
Emperor Yan announced on the spot: "Pass on my decree. Lin Xiaoqi has made great contributions and will be promoted two levels to become a centurion. Lin Qingping will be promoted one level to become the chief commander of the Five Cities Military Department. The rest of the people will be rewarded according to their merits."
Many people feel very jealous, but can't find any reason to refute.
This uncle and nephew captured hundreds of bandits and had enough heads, which fully met the requirements for promotion.
This Lin Xiaoqi, no, his official rank now is centurion.
Captain Lin is really lucky!
When he set out for the border, he had already been promoted two levels before he even arrived at the border.
It can be said to be the fastest promotion speed in history.
It is difficult for ordinary people to even compare with him!
The officials who had previously strongly opposed women holding official positions have all fallen silent.
The flattering comprador Xu Bingliang came on stage again, holding a tablet in his hand and stepped forward, shouting: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent. Captain Lin was able to achieve such a great achievement because Your Majesty used the right people!"
Look at this flattery! After hearing these flattering words, the Emperor of Yan was so happy that the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
Indeed, when it comes to the ability to flatter, Xu Bingliang from the Comprador Department is still the best!
The ministers had no choice but to follow suit and shout: "Your Majesty is wise!"
