Chapter 372 This place, the human world?
Lin Wen glanced at him. This guy had a pointed mouth, a high nose, and long cheeks. He looked exactly like a monkey, especially his cheeks, which looked particularly funny.
But Lin Wen had no interest in looking at the monkey and said coldly, "What are you doing?"
The monkey-cheeked man smiled and said, "We've long heard of County Chief Lin's charisma, but seeing him today, he's far superior to the legends. Such a handsome and radiant figure, a godlike being, how can the mere legends of heroes describe him? Only a young hero like County Chief Lin, a once-in-a-century talent, is worthy of the three peerless beauties beside you."
No matter how he ruined everything with just one sentence and offended everyone, he did it.
The monkey-cheeked man scratched his cheek, unable to understand why his carefully prepared opening speech had no effect and instead made the four people look unhappy.
"Maybe there's some hidden secret."
The monkey-faced man thought that his horse had hit his hoof, so he quickly laughed it off and said with a smile, "County Governor Lin has won a great victory this time. Congratulations! There will definitely be a place for County Governor Lin in the future empire. We admire him very much. I wonder if we can have the honor of inviting County Governor Lin to our house to report on him."
"No honor." Lin Wen walked away.
The rejection was so blunt, leaving no room for negotiation. The monkey-faced man was extremely anxious and quickly used his ultimate trick. He pulled out a large piece of gold from his sleeve and stuffed it into Lin Wen's hand. He smiled flatteringly and said, "This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope County Magistrate Lin will honor you."
Lin Wen put away the gold and asked, "Anything else?"
The monkey-cheeked man hurriedly stuffed another wad of money into his pocket. Lin Wen asked again, "Anything else?"
Qin Luoshuang covered her face, feeling that the integrity of Changshan County had been lost by Lin Wen, and whispered a reminder: "Let him go first and then give it to him."
The monkey-cheeked man suddenly understood and said hurriedly, "Chief Lin, please come and visit us. I have something very important to offer you."
Lin Wen glared at Qin Luoshuang unhappily: "Which side are you from? You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already turning your elbows outward."
He stuffed the money and gold into Qin Luoshuang's hands and followed them with the monkey-cheeked man's flattering smile.
Xia Xiaoxiang looked at their receding figures, her eyes sparkling with light: "So that's how it is, I learned it!"
He took out a notebook with "Linwen Strategy" written on the cover, turned to page seven, and wrote a new entry at the bottom.
"Xiao Linlin's way of paying money is unique. She has to complete the service (such as dating, kissing, etc.) before paying."
It was not until a long time after Lin Wen left that Qin Luoshuang realized that what he said, "You're already turning your elbows outward before you even get married," meant that her father wanted to marry off his daughter. She was so angry that her face turned red and even the tips of her ears were emitting heat.
He stuffed handfuls of money and gold into Xia Xiaoxiang's arms and left angrily.
Yun Qingshui looked at them curiously and asked, "Xiao Xia, is Xiao Qin actually County Chief Lin's sister?"
Xia Xiaoxiang burst out laughing: "Have you ever seen a brother talk to his sister in this tone?"
"What's that?"
Xia Xiaoxiang moved her lips but still didn't say anything.
This is for Qin's reputation and even more for her life safety. Qin has become more and more violent recently, and she doesn't want to be beaten again.
After thinking about it, I changed the way I put it: "More than comrades, but less than lovers."
"Oh." Yun Qingshui felt that the relationship between them was so complicated that it was beyond her simple mind to understand.
Just as he was about to return to the occupied area to continue his work, another servant suddenly ran over and said with a flattering smile, "Lady Yun, Lord Gou invites you to come with him."
Yun Qingshui asked doubtfully, "Me?"
The attendant said respectfully, "Yes, that's what County Magistrate Lin meant."
Yun Qingshui was a little confused, but didn't think much about it and followed them.
——
Lin Wen got on their luxury convoy and traveled through the city.
Hailin City can be considered a first-tier city. Although it is not as good as Yaojing, it is not inferior to Danyangdu, the capital of Dongqinzhou.
But when he thought that the area around such a prosperous city was like a den of evil, Lin Wen felt very unhappy.
He had tried to ignore the order again and send troops to clear out Panwa County and Chuanluo County, but [Luan Zhaoshui] directly pointed out that this was suicide.
It took Lin Wen a long time to figure out that his purpose was correct, but his method was wrong.
Directly disobeying orders is the stupidest option that no rational person would choose. It cannot be explained and can only be considered suicide.
Lin Wen was very depressed. It seemed that sometimes having too high an IQ was not a good thing. His suicide attempt was actually discovered.
I wish someone else could use the [Light of Wisdom] to lower my IQ.
Lin Wen sighed softly.
This is the trouble of genius.
To show its sincerity, the convoy did not go to a secluded private residence, but drove to the most prosperous area in the city center.
All of a sudden, tall buildings and neon lights came rushing towards us.
At a glance, the roadside is full of high-end bars, clubs, and private dance halls. Gorgeously dressed beauties and well-dressed gentlemen are walking on the streets. The scene of brilliant fireworks is everywhere, and the atmosphere of decadence and decadence is pervasive, which is quite like the scenery of a foreign concession.
The monkey-cheeked man's motorcade looked even more luxurious and imposing in this place. All the vehicles along the way gave way to him, and all the traffic guards let him pass. He drove all the way to an extremely luxurious nightclub before stopping.
This nightclub covers a very large area, with flat land all around and no tall buildings. A row of small high-rise buildings surround it in the distance, giving it a subtle protective effect.
As soon as Lin Wen got out of the car, two rows of beautiful women wearing glittering golden shorts, revealing their long white legs, all bowed to him: "Hello, Mr. Lin!"
Bang bang bang!
Fireworks scattered, salutes rang out, and paper flowers fluttered. The monkey-faced man bowed and said, "Headmaster Lin! Please!"
Lin Wen took a step indifferently and glanced at the nightclub sign, which read: "Here, in the human world."
The signboard is quite artistic. It seems to be a subtle reminder that this is the human world, but in fact it is arrogantly showing off the prosperity and splendor of this place. Guests should not lose their minds and think that they have come to heaven.
Lin Wen suddenly remembered something and said, "I've been here before."
The monkey-cheeked man laughed and said, "Chief Lin, you're joking. This isn't a place for ordinary people. Without a top-tier VIP card, no one can enter."
Lin Wen said with certainty: "I have been here, not long ago."
The monkey-cheeked man wanted to dampen his enthusiasm and prevent him from asking for too high a price, so he asked calmly, "How did County Magistrate Lin get here?"
"He led the troops in."
The monkey-cheeked man stood there in a daze, but Lin Wen had already stepped in, leaving only a light sentence behind.
"It's a pity that I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to collect them properly."
The other representatives all looked unhappy, and Gou Shi even complained in a low voice: "Why did you bring this up?"
The monkey-cheeked man had a gloomy look on his face. They had already collected enough information about Changshan County before coming. They had established special files for each person and conducted a thorough investigation, so they were able to recognize Yun Qingshui, the "Taihu Dragon" who was famous among the people.
Only Qin Luoshuang and Xia Xiaoxiang are a bit troublesome. I don’t know why I can’t find their information.
But Lin Wen is the top priority. The investigation team almost dug up Lin Wen’s ancestral grave to find out the truth. He knew the whole story of the Battle of Shizhou by heart.
Changshan County went from being an underdog at the beginning of the war to achieving final victory, which can only be described as a series of miracles.
Even people from the Imperial Military Academy came to collect first-hand information, hoping to list this battle as a classic teaching case.
The monkey-cheeked man knew it by heart. Of course he remembered that a surprise attack had occurred in Hailin City, forcing the main force to return for rescue, leading to a major defeat on the front line. However, the surprise attack disappeared without a trace on a train.
But they didn't know that this special force was actually led by County Chief Lin himself.
A chill ran down the monkey-cheeked man's heart. The highest commander of an army rarely led his troops to the front line in person, because combat command and strategic layout were two completely different things.
The highest commander is the core of the army and must not be risked lightly.
This is the iron rule of war.
County Governor Lin not only dared to lead the team personally to carry out such a risky mission, but also fought so beautifully.
They later reviewed the situation and believed that Shizhou was completely deceived at the time. This team caused great chaos in the rear, which distracted a lot of the Shizhou army's energy and made a significant contribution to Changshan County's final victory.
Later, they deduced Changshan County's marching route from Shizhou's victory report.
After reconstructing the battle situation on a sand table, everyone fell silent.
The miraculous route and the elusive actions were a perfect strategic plan, as if God had drawn a zigzag line on the sand table, and everyone was his puppet, cooperating with this zigzag line to put on a perfect performance that pleased God.
Even the famous strategic experts in military academies were amazed and believed that this was an unrepeatable classic in the history of military warfare.
They originally thought that this might be led by a genius in Changshan County, but they didn't expect it to be County Chief Lin himself.
How many things is this extremely young guy good at?
This heavy thought was like a huge cold rock pressing on their hearts.
