Episode 10 Chapter 440
Chapter 440 Cheng Jin followed Tang Yin's wishes, separated from the onlookers, and walked into the crowd. He looked up and saw a jade soldier dressed as a captain of the Jade Army holding a woman in her twenties with one hand and pointing at an old man with the other, cursing.
The old man looked in his early fifties and was well-dressed. Although not gorgeous, he was still very impressive. However, the old man's cheeks were red and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. He had obviously been beaten.
The woman had a good appearance, probably because she came from a wealthy family. She had thin skin and fair skin, which was completely different from the ordinary women who did rough work.
After reading it, Cheng Jin stepped forward, patted the jade soldier captain on the shoulder, and said expressionlessly: "Brother, I heard that you are going to marry a girl?"
The Captain of the Jade Soldiers really liked the mayor's young lady. Originally, he planned to grab someone and run away, but he didn't expect that the commotion became louder and attracted so many soldiers to watch. Now he is riding a tiger, for the sake of In order to save face, I can only bite the bullet and carry on forcefully.
He squinted at Cheng Jin and saw that he was wearing casual clothes. He snorted coldly and said, "Who are you? Mind your own business and get out of here!"
Cheng Jin didn't react to his angry curse, and his expression remained unchanged. He said: "When the two armies are fighting, if you get married privately, it will be a death penalty according to military law."
The more the Jade Soldier listened, the angrier he became. He pulled out the saber from his ribs, put the tip of the saber against Cheng Jin's throat, and shouted: "Boy, if you dare to meddle in your own business again, believe it or not, I will chop you first with my sword?!" "
He was a little worried about the mayor, but since he was a young civilian, he had no worries at all.
Seeing that he had touched his dick, the mayor and the young woman were startled. They looked at Cheng Jin worriedly, hoping that this kind man could leave safely, but also hoping that he could help them block this rude and rude person. of jade soldiers.
Cheng Jin turned a blind eye to the steel knife that was about to hit his throat. He sneered and said, "Minding your own business? As long as it's against the law and discipline, I can handle it."
As he spoke, he reached into his arms, took out the secret arrow's military card, raised it in front of the jade soldier, and asked, "Do you recognize this card?"
Seeing the military card that Cheng Jin took out, many of the surrounding soldiers gasped. Immediately afterwards, those who recognized the military card began to retreat one after another, and then left quickly as if they had seen a ghost. .
The jade soldier had never seen the Dark Arrow brand before. He sneered with disdain, stepped forward, and muttered cursingly: "I want to see what kind of damn brand you have."
While speaking, he bent down, leaned close to Cheng Jin's military card, and read: "Dark...Dark Arrow...What bullshit Dark..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of a famous but extremely mysterious organization in Feng Country, Dark Arrow. Could it be that the young man in casual clothes in front of him is a member of the Feng Kingdom's secret arrow organization?
As he recited the word "hidden arrow", the few remaining onlookers dispersed in an instant. No matter when or where, as long as you are exposed to hidden arrows, bad things will definitely happen. This has long been a well-known rule in Feng Kingdom, so as long as you encounter hidden arrows, whether it is a minister of the court or an ordinary soldier, Common people, people avoid it when they can, give in when they can, and don't want to have too much to do with them.
Although the Jade Soldier belonged to the Jade Army, he had also heard of the Feng Kingdom's Dark Arrow Organization. His eyes were blank for a moment, and he hurriedly put away his sword. He took two steps back with a slightly pale face, stepped in and saluted, and whispered: " I'm a humble person, so if I offend you, I hope you'll forgive me."
After all, he is not a soldier of his own country, so Cheng Jin did not embarrass him and asked indifferently: "Now, do you want to get married to another girl?"
"No, no, no! The villain was just joking, not telling the truth, not telling the truth!" Jade Soldier shook his head like a rattle.
Cheng Jin didn't ask any more questions, put away his military card, and said, "Go! If I see you violating laws and disciplines again in the future, even if you belong to two countries, as an allied force, I can still kill you." Kill first and show later!”
The jade soldier trembled with fright. He didn't dare to say any nonsense, and said hastily: "Thank you for not killing me!" After saying that, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, turned around and ran away quickly.
At this time, the mayor and the young woman also realized that this young man in casual clothes was not someone who drew his sword to help when he saw injustice. Like the jade soldier who raped the girl, he was also a member of the Fengyu Alliance Army, and He seems to be a high-ranking official in the army.
Although he was disappointed, the mayor still came to Cheng Jin with a forced smile, bowed his hands and saluted him, and said: "Thank you for your help, sir. I would like to express my gratitude to you here." As he spoke, he knelt down. Kneel down and kowtow.
Cheng Jin took out a hand to support him, his expression was still so indifferent, and he said in a calm tone: "There is no need to thank me, if you want to thank me, just thank my family... Master!" As he spoke, he pointed back to the eaves of the opposite building. Tang Yin.
The old mayor was secretly surprised. Seeing the respectful attitude of the soldiers towards this young man, his status in the army was already extraordinary, so wouldn't his master have a higher rank? After being stunned for a moment, the old mayor said hurriedly: "I hope you can introduce me to me."
Cheng Jin said: "Here, he strode towards Tang Yin. The old mayor and the young woman hurriedly followed behind.
After approaching Tang Yin, the old mayor and the young man knelt down to pay their respects and thanked him profusely. Tang Yin was very polite. He stopped the two of them and said with a smile: "Feng Mo is a close neighbor, as close as a family. Old gentleman, there is no need to be polite."
Hearing Tang Yin's words, the old mayor felt uncomfortable. If Feng Mo was as close as a family, how could your Feng country lead troops to attack?
Seeing that he disagreed with his words, Tang Yin said: "The reason why Feng country sent troops to Mo country was all Shao Fang's fault. He killed his father and usurped the throne. People and gods were angry, and the emperor was furious. Our Feng army came to attack under the order of the emperor. It was also a move to follow the will of heaven and respond to the will of the people."
In a world where the strong prey on the weak, whoever has the stronger fist will stand on the side of justice and morality. Regardless of whether he believed in Tang Yin's words or not, the old mayor could only agree repeatedly and dared not argue with him.
After talking for a while, Tang Yin looked around and asked, "Old sir, is there a restaurant in this town? We brothers are all a little hungry."
The old mayor's eyes lit up and said, "The restaurants in the town are simple and the food may not be delicious. If you don't mind, come to my house for a home-cooked meal!"
He is a man with rich experience. Through his words and deeds, he is more certain that the handsome young man in front of him is not an ordinary person. He wants to curry favor with him and also wants to find a talisman for himself in this chaotic world.
Tang Yin has this intention, but he still pretends to be embarrassed and said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to visit you when we first meet?"
"Hey!" The old mayor waved his hands and said, "You saved my daughter, so I am your lifesaver. There is nothing inappropriate."
"Okay, then beg for mercy." Tang Yin nodded with a smile.
The old mayor's family is indeed well-off. His mansion is the largest and most imposing in the town. The large courtyard is surrounded by small courtyards, and the main courtyard is connected to the branch courtyard. There are more than a dozen houses of all sizes, and there are no less than 20 servants in the house.
With the meager salary of a town chief, it is certainly not enough to support such a large family. The old mayor's own industry is second to none within a radius of dozens of miles. Not only does he have large tracts of land, he also runs taverns, tea houses, silk shops and other businesses. He even has a hand in the fishing business on the north bank of Zhenjiang.
After letting Tang Yin and his party into the hall and sitting down, the old mayor ordered the servants to serve tea. He smiled at Tang Yin and said, "My humble abode is simple, please forgive me, sir."
Tang Yin smiled and looked around at the ancient, elegant and unpretentious furnishings, and sighed, "If this place is considered simple, then wouldn't our army's barracks become a pigsty?"
The old mayor also laughed, feeling that although this young man may have an unusual identity, he was unusually peaceful and showed maturity that was not in line with his age.
He suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, I don't know your name yet!"
"I am Feng, my surname is Tang and my name is Chu!" Tang Yin said with a smile without thinking.
Tang Chu? The old mayor searched every corner of his mind, but he couldn't remember a person like Tang Chu.
In fact, he was familiar with many celebrities in Feng Country. He could call out the names of the four great generals and the commanders of various armies one by one, but he really had never heard of the name Tang Chu.
He rolled his eyes and asked, "His Royal Highness Feng Wang's surname is Tang, and my benefactor's surname is also Tang. Could it be that he is..."
Tang Yin laughed again and shook his head, saying, "I am quite familiar with Feng Wang, but we are not related."
"Oh!" The old mayor nodded secretly. Hearing him speak so casually, he must be a close minister in front of Feng Wang.
During the conversation, the servants in the mansion brought in the dining tables one by one and carefully placed them in front of everyone. Then, the maids came in one after another and brought in various wines and dishes. Since Yingjiang Town is next to Zhenjiang, it has abundant fish products, and most of its dishes are fish-based.
Before Tang Yin started to eat, Ah San stood up silently, walked to Tang Yin's side, tasted every dish on Tang Yin's table, and found that they were indeed non-toxic, and then returned to his seat.
His natural action made the old mayor gasp, and it can be further seen from it that Tang Chu's identity is not simple.
He seemed not to notice, and said to Tang Yin with a smile: "If the food in the army is not good, you can come and sit often. I dare not say anything else, but I promise to make sure you are well fed and well watered."
Tang Yin thanked him with a smile, and then he changed the subject and said: "When two armies fight, no matter how long, the people will always suffer. If the war can end sooner, the people will be free from the suffering of war sooner."
