Lin Zhennan looked at Lin Pingzhi carefully up and down at this moment. Compared with the last time he looked at him from a distance, Lin Pingzhi was obviously stronger this time, especially the air of weakness had disappeared.
A bit of a man's fortitude and high-spiritedness.
Especially the scene where Li Huan and Lin Pingzhi fought against each other just now was caught in his eyes. Lin Zhennan was also a second-rate fighter, maybe not very strong, but he traveled all over the country and had many escorts under his command, but his eyesight was extremely good.
Lin Zhennan was shocked just by the fact that Li Huan and Lin Pingzhi had just fought. After all, it had only been half a year since Lin Ping came to the island. The last time he took advantage of the opportunity to visit Mrs. Lin, he took a peek from a distance.
It's been three or four months since I first saw it.
In just half a year, Lin Pingzhi felt like he had been completely transformed. The strength he showed when fighting against Li Huan might not even be matched by the top third-rate escorts in the escort agency.
In the past, Lin Pingzhi gave people the impression that he was more like a rich man. This would be normal if he was born into a wealthy family. However, the Lin family only eats the food of the world.
Relying on the reputation of his ancestors, people in the world gave him some dignity as the head escort of the Fuwei Escort Agency. However, Lin Yuantu's reputation could not deter others for a long time, and the legacy of his ancestors would eventually wear off.
The time of exhaustion.
In recent years, Lin Zhennan has noticed this change. The Fuwei Escort Agency travels all over the world, and the tolls charged by people in the rivers and lakes of the mountains and rivers have increased sharply. There are even some small groups of thieves and bandits.
He won't betray the Lin family's reputation.
Fortunately, the capabilities of the escort chiefs of Fuwei Escort Agency are pretty good, and most of the escort robbers are petty thieves. Otherwise, the escorts would have been robbed long ago. If that time comes, the golden signboard of Linjia Fuwei Escort Agency will be
That's it.
Since his family knows his own affairs, his cultivation level will only be like that. He is afraid that he will be in a second-rate situation until he dies. He naturally pins the future hopes of the Lin family on Lin Pingzhi. However, the former Lin Pingzhi, he
There is no hope at all.
Now looking at Lin Pingzhi with bright eyes and high spirit, Lin Zhennan patted Lin Pingzhi's shoulder with his big hand and couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, good boy, I have a successor to the Lin family!"
After receiving a rare compliment from Lin Zhennan, Lin Pingzhi showed a bit of joy on his face.
At this moment, Li Huan stepped forward, bowed his hands to Lin Zhennan and said, "I've met my cousin."
Lin Zhennan looked at Li Huan and said, "Brother Huan, in the past six months, Pingzhi has asked you to worry about it."
Li Huan smiled and said: "My cousin is not bad at talent, but he just lacks a little perseverance. I just urge him to practice diligently."
"No matter what, if I succeed in the future, I will thank you for your help, Brother Huan."
As he spoke, Lin Zhennan glanced at Lin Pingzhi and said, "The New Year is approaching. One of the people here is to visit his aunt, and the other is to take Pingzhi home. In the coming year, Brother Huan will continue to teach Pingzhi.
"
Li Huan pointed at the redness and swelling on Lin Pingzhi's cheek and said with a smile: "As long as my cousin and aunt don't feel bad, I'm always welcome here."
After sending away Lin Zhennan and his son, the eighteenth year of Hongzhi gradually came to an end. It had been announced in the Di newspaper that next year would be the first year of Zhengde.
It has been nearly a year since Li Huan came to this world. Now, looking back on what happened during these six months, Li Huan is filled with emotions.
When he first crossed over, he was in a precarious situation. Later, he killed Fang Yuan and finally retained his position as the official of the Hundred Households of Langqi Island. Later, he even killed the Fang family and restored the prestige of the Li family.
Li Huan spent the eighteenth year of Hongzhi with his grandmother Lin and mother Feng amidst the sound of firecrackers and ushered in the first year of Zhengde.
The Lantern Festival has passed, and the joy of the festival has gradually faded away, but Li Huan is also looking at Zhao Zhi who comes to the door with a headache.
Zhao Zhi, who was almost the housekeeper of Langqi Island, was staring at Li Huan at the moment and said: "Brother Huan, that is a bottomless pit. No matter what, we can't go on like this. There are only a few tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver obtained years ago. Now there are only a few left."
Thousand taels, regardless of the military salary of the guards and the expenses of the government, if something unexpected happens, I am afraid that I will be stretched by then."
In almost four or five months, he actually consumed more than 40,000 taels of silver. If you don't know, if you think about it now, even with Li Huan's courage, he can't help but feel pain in his heart.
That is as much as 40,000 taels of grain silver. If it is used to buy servants and maids, it can buy at least a thousand people. If it is used to buy food, it is 20,000 to 30,000 taels, and millions of kilograms of food, enough for all the people on Langqi Island.
Eat for several years.
After such a comparison, Li Huan could understand Zhao Zhi's mood when he looked at Zhao Zhi's expression of deep regret.
With a slight cough, Li Huan said: "How long can the purchased medicinal materials last?"
Zhao Zhi was obviously very familiar with it. Hearing this, he immediately said: "The remaining medicinal materials are almost enough for half a month."
Zhao Zhi looked at Li Huan and said: "Brother Huan, I don't object to you training Li Hu and the others. After all, the stronger they are, the stronger our Langqi Island will be, and our safety will be more guaranteed, but we can't be so indifferent."
It’s such an investment, no matter how big the family fortune is, it can’t bear such a torment.”
Li Huan rubbed his forehead and said: "Uncle Zhi, I understand everything you said. I will stop buying medicinal materials for the time being. I think the remaining money will be enough to last for a while."
Seeing that Li Huan made it clear that he didn't want to give up, Zhao Zhi sighed, but didn't say anything else. He had said this persuasion countless times. Anyway, the money was running out now, so even if Li Huan wanted to invest, it was impossible.
As for the remaining money, Zhao Zhi has made up his mind. No matter what Li Huan says, he will not touch it anymore. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Li family to live in all the Langqi households.
maintained.
After Zhao Zhi left, Li Huan couldn't help but look at Chen Yidao, who had been sitting there silently.
From the moment Zhao Zhi mentioned money, Chen Yidao remained silent and did not say a word. You must know that he held opposite opinions to Zhao Zhi and was the one who supported Li Huan the most from the beginning.
With a slight cough, Li Huan said to Chen Yidao: "Uncle Yidao, you heard it too, we have no money, and the resources Li Hu and the others need for practice are about to be cut off!"
Chen Yidao shouted almost instinctively: "No, absolutely no, you must know that it is Li Hu, Li Guo and the others who need a lot of training resources to replenish their vitality when they break through. It would have been possible to break through the bottleneck in a few months."
If they enter a second-rate situation and their cultivation resources are suddenly cut off, it will take them a few more years if they just rely on themselves to survive."
