Chapter 396 Den of Thieves
Brother Mu has had a crush on Lin Luoran for more than ten years. Lin Luoran’s brain is amazingly dull in a certain area, so she will not “narcissistically” think about others’ different eyes. In everyone’s eyes, this female warrior ‘ ‘is cold as a piece of jade. She is charming, but her eyes are piercing most of the time.
But even piercingly cold jade may be softened. The young man named Azhi is very stubborn and refuses her help. It reminds Lin Luoranof Huang Weijian who has almost been a member of the Lin family. Sometimes such kind of stubbornness makes people helpless. However, no one can deny that a persistent man is stupid but adorable, sometimes even admirable.
The famous school enrolling apprentices in Feng City is called “Five Tigers”. Masters in this school mostly work for the Penglai army. On the frontier, it has been a great and famous school. On the enrollment day, it is very crowded here. Lin Luoran even sees a country boy with a croaking rooster… It has already been common sense for everyone that it takes a special gift to get the apprentices.h.i.+p.
Azhi is very stubborn but as unadorned as an unrefined jade. Lin Luoran can’t persuade him, so she stealthily finds the person in charge of the Five Tigers school this time. A flying ticket of one thousand taels finally gets that man to take a look at Lin Luoran.
Without external work, Lin Luoran still reveals her hostility unconsciously. The Mu family can only know she is not an ordinary person, but the person in charge of Five Tigers school knows at a glance that she has the hostility after killing… he then becomes respectful. Five Tigers school has a great reputation in this cold westernmost area, and the man who can be appointed to preside over the admission of apprentices definitely knows the world is unlimited and full of masters.
With the effect of the flying ticket and Lin Luoran’s power, the man surnamed Lu promises that he will take good care of Azhi.
Lin Luoran says nothing. She looks back and sees that the teenager is trying to make his way through the crowd. Lin Luoran shots out a ray of Wakan with her hand, and it falls right between the teenager’s eyes.
The key to learning martial arts is training muscles and bones. Wakan of Bearing Essence cultivator will be of unlimited help for Azhi.
See you.
Lin Luoran smiles but she is actually very clear that maybe they will never see each other again. This is a place completely different from the world of the Earth today. The mountains are green and the water is clean here. This is a place without Sudan red, illegal cooking oil, and substandard milk powder. However, she is still willing to stay in that real world with little Reiki.
Because her relatives, close friends, apprentices are waiting for her in Rong City, the center of Chuan province of Huaxia.
Lin Luoran thinks it must because of the special connection of the family.
After leaving Feng City, the caravan moves much faster. They sleep in the day and travel at night. The caravan rests in either the countryside or wild mountains. If the state highway were not convenient for them, Lin Luoran thinks that Mu Qingshan and others would have never been willing to venture into cities.
Mus have experienced caravans and they have hobn.o.bbed with many forces. Although this is a troubled world, no one will really check their caravan. Mu Qingshan is just guilty.
Sleeping in the suburbs or a clean inn with hot water is no different for Lin Luoran.
No matter what, she is doing her self-cultivation every day and eats food from s.p.a.ce made by herself. She even will never run out of hot water. Lin Luoran doesn’t mind resting anywhere. There is only one thing she cares about. Whenever she goes to a new place, she will let go of her spiritual mind completely as a sophisticated scanner. She will look for news about Mount Penglai in the tea houses of cities or among rural women.
Mu Feiqiang feels uncomfortable about something. As the caravan speeds up, the entire team appears to be very tired. Even if she has already applied more face cream, her little face still becomes waxy in such an uncomfortable environment.
However, Lin Luoran is always refres.h.i.+ng, casual, and absolutely neat. Even her honey-colored skin is getting fairer and fairer on the way north, just like polished jade.
In the meantime, the more indifferent Lin Luoran is, the more obsessed Mu Qingshan becomes.
On this day, the team misses the time to enter the city again. Mu Qingshan wants to camp locally, but Mu Feiqiang points to the faint light not far away and suggests.
“Uncle, there is a small village in front of us. Wouldn’t it be nice for us to go to the village for a night? We can also reinforce our provisions in the village. ”
Nothing special happens after they traveling for more than a month. Guardians of the Mu Family have defeated several little thieves. It seems that the front-line war has not lost, so the current situation is still in control. Mu Qingshan is also tempted by her offer.
Reinforcing provisions is not the most important thing. Like his niece, Mu Qingshan also wants to boil a large pot of hot water for a good bath.
Lin Luoran sees that they are both very excited. She couldn’t help but say anything to disillusion them.
“If I were you guys, I would choose to camp farther away instead of going into the village.”
Mu Qingshan freezes for a moment. He does not expect that warrior Lin, who has never had a suggestion, will object. He is just making the ordinary mistake of “caring more about his appearance” as a lovelorn man but doesn’t completely lose his mind. He hears Lin Luoran saying something for the first time, and he knows that this village may not be as simple as it looks.
However, Mu Feiqiang is furious, thinking that Lin Luoran deliberately opposes her for insulting her.
Looking at the girl’s angry face, Lin Luoran feels somehow confused. She doesn’t know when she provokes her—After all, Lin Luoran is still too lazy to deal with a teenage girl, so she simply returns to her carriage to have a rest.
Mu Feiqiang sees that Mu Qingshan is totally stunned, so she stomps angrily, “Uncle, can you have your own opinion? You are the team manager! Look at you! Every woman will look down on you! ”
Warrior Lin seems to be angry while his niece is also furious. Mu Qingshan feels really overwhelmed, but Mu Feiqiang’s words “every woman will look down on you” have stimulated him. He decides to follow his heart once and enter the village.
From guardians to grooms, they all support Mr. Mu’s decision.
They have always been eating jerky and porridge and smelling the fragrance from Lin Luoran’s small kitchen. It almost drives them crazy—the village is good because there are restaurants in it!
Therefore, this group of people walk towards the dimly lit place. The “grain transporter” with many weapons leaves heavy ruts on the ground.
Lin Luoran takes a bunch of grapes to the carriage, and she is now eating happily. How can she be angry? Mu Qingshan is just wrong again.
All villagers have rested, but now they are awakened by the arrival of the caravan. Mu Qingshan asks people to give them enough money. With the guidance of the village mayor’s wife, many women wake up to kill chickens and wash rice and radishes. They even go to the fields to chop cabbages.
This is a meal for more than a hundred people. There will definitely be enough reward for them.
Mu Feiqiang’s maid gives the village mayor’s wife a golden bean, and that woman drags a vegetable cleaner to ask her to boil a pot of bathwater for Miss Mu first. With another golden bean, Mr. Mualso gets his own bathwater.
When Mu Feiqiang is soaking in hot water, the open s.p.a.ce of the village is filled with laughter.
It is the members of the caravan team who get permission to have a drink tonight. Since the caravan began its journey, they have not been drunk for more than a month! Braised Chicken with Green Bamboo Shoots, Dipping meat, smooth Steamed Eggs… The exhaustion of this journey totally fades away. Mu Qingshan is refreshed and comes out to ask his men to eat first.
He looks at the carriage where Lin Luoran is. There is still not a sound coming from there even when they are in the village.
Is she still angry? Mu Qingshan collects his courage and walks over there. The shadow of the carriage becomes two. He is top-heavy, and soon, he faints.
“Master, master…”
Guards are all startled and pull out sabers they have on hand. When they are just about to protect Mu Qingshan, they find their own hands and feet are sore. They can’t hold on to the weapons, whichthen fall to the ground.
Everyone has got here, and everyone knows they have entered the thieves’ den. Mu Qingshan tries his best to raise his head. He looks at the village mayor who seems to be a different person, “…Bedazzle… Bedazzle Powder…such a… good move…”
The village mayor laughs, “Mr. Mu, are you satisfied with the hot water?”
Mu Qingshan has been recognized. He feels even more frustrated. It’s not a sudden robbery but something that has been prepared for a long time… news of Mus sending arbalests has gone out. Mu Qingshan now wonders if his elder brother is still all right.
Mu Qingshan is still remorseful and suffering when he suddenly hears a scream coming from the room where his niece is bathing.
Feiqiang is still there… Mu Qingshan remembers his brother’s entrusting. Now his face is totally pale.
“Mugging and s.e.x crime?”
—A faint sigh comes from the carriage. The village mayor bursts into a shout, “Who is it?!”
