Upon seeing that there was indeed a reward, Song Liyun exclaimed with delight, "Lord Centurion, are you really going to give us equipment?"
During the Wu Dynasty, long swords exceeding a foot in length were contraband, and armor was exclusively military equipment; no one was allowed to use it privately.
The long knife that Song Liyun used last night was secretly hidden away, so that no one else could see it.
If it is issued by the garrison, she can carry it with her.
Luo Baihu laughed and patted his leather armor: "Military households have an obligation to enlist. Although your brother is too weak to enlist, he still has a share."
The garrison would provide your family with a set of weapons and equipment, and their job was to help maintain local security.
This is actually just a set of excuses.
Everyone knows that Song Zhenping has difficulty walking, so the real job should be the Song family's hired guards, but this position still has to be given to Song Zhenping.
With the approval of the garrison, the Song family could teach a lesson to anyone they disliked, which was considered legitimate. If anyone resisted, they would be going against the garrison.
Basically, it means they don't want to live anymore.
This is a powerful tool that allows someone to commit crimes with a valid warrant.
"Yes, Your subordinate will obey!" Song Liyun smiled as she accepted the leather armor and longsword.
She was very satisfied with the reward.
Even if no one in Broken Gold Town will covet the Song family anymore, having a set of leather armor to protect Han Ming will increase his chances of winning in the event of danger.
Just then, a soft laugh came from behind the screen next to them.
How could someone be eavesdropping in Lord Hyakuho's office?
Song Liyun looked over in surprise, only to hear a rustling sound from behind the screen. Then a dark-skinned, burly boy staggered out, clutching his buttocks, accompanied by the clattering sound of armor plates.
He was wearing a helmet, armor, and a long sword at his waist. If he hadn't fallen at Song Liyun's feet, he would have... had a certain imposing presence.
The burly young man hurriedly got up, straightened his clothes and hat, and said with a forced smile to the glaring Luo Baihu, "Please calm down, Lord Baihu. I was kicked out."
Luo Baihu: "..."
Was it kicked out?
Naturally, this displeased the Third Young Master.
After saying that, the dark-skinned boy turned to look at Song Liyun, scrutinized her from head to toe, and said with a serious expression, "You can save people like this? Are you trying to claim someone else's military merit? Commander Luo had better investigate further and make sure the warrior isn't wronged and his good armor and sword are wasted."
Song Liyun was stunned by his act of standing up for what was right!
Luo Baihu was going to give the reward to the Song family, so why ask so many questions? Just give it to them.
Besides, it was Xue Zhuang who reported that I had saved the person; it wasn't me who asked for the reward.
The boy was young, dark-skinned and strong, with a ring of downy hair around his lips. He looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face still had a childish look.
When he opened his mouth to speak, his voice, which was going through puberty, sounded like a male duck's. At this time, he deliberately tried to act mature, which made people laugh.
Luo Baihu coughed lightly: "That Abu... the garrison will investigate this matter itself."
He knew that the Di people were straightforward, admired the strong, and hated those who stole military achievements under false names.
Now he says that Song Liyun saved people, which has caused the Third Young Master's guards to misunderstand, or rather, the Third Young Master himself has misunderstood.
Song Liyun was also a little angry.
Who is this, meddling in other people's business!
She glanced behind the screen and said calmly, "General Abu, things are accomplished through action, not through hiding and making wild guesses. If you have any doubts, go out and see for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Luo Baihu, who was sitting on the stool, began to fidget and squirm. He chuckled and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Miss Song's rescue yesterday was absolutely true; no one is impersonating her."
Besides, Miss Song's family is a military household, so they should have a set of equipment.
Haha! Abu, you're satisfied with the food from the Song family, aren't you?
"Oh! So it's from her garden..."
Before he could finish speaking, a person emerged from behind the screen and interrupted him, saying, "Abu, don't be rude."
Upon hearing the sound, Song Liyun looked over and was immediately taken aback...
It wasn't the man's tall stature, handsome appearance, or the looks of a male protagonist from a romance novel that captivated them; it was simply his ordinary soldier's uniform.
Moreover, he was still somewhat disheveled, with his hair loose, and even though he was wearing a headband, he looked as if he had just crawled out of bed.
A handsome young soldier is hiding in the back room of the centurion's office... What's going on?
Upon seeing Zhao Tingduo emerge, Luo Baihu smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "It's alright, it's alright. Guard Abu is just being straightforward; Miss Song won't mind."
After saying that, he turned to Song Liyun and winked, "Miss Song, don't you think so?"
Song Liyun stared in disbelief, then suddenly realized what she meant and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it was just a joke, haha. If you're busy, Commander, I'll take my leave now!"
Subordinate? A woman is talking about subordinate?
Hearing her nonsensical self-designation, the boy named Abu was furious.
The "handsome young soldier" next to her spoke up, his voice clear and pleasant: "Young lady, you are a military household member, so it's not unreasonable for you to refer to yourself as your subordinate to the centurion. It's just that there are no female soldiers in the army, so it's hard to accept that you say that."
Song Liyun turned to look at him, and after a long while said seriously, "You can't accept it for a while, but you'll get used to it later."
"Pfft!"
The black boy named Abu laughed, and even Luo Baihu burst into laughter.
The "handsome young soldier" suppressed a laugh by pressing his fist to his lips. His eyebrows slanted upwards, his thin lips curved in a smile, and his long, narrow phoenix eyes shone brightly as he looked at her: "Yes, you are very polite, young lady. I have learned a lot!"
Song Liyun was stunned for a moment. This guy was already a handsome man when he wasn't smiling, but when he smiled... he was damn good-looking.
If it's acting, it's the director's fault if he doesn't take the lead role.
What a pity, I've never seen it in the garrison before.
