Deputy Marshal Tie took off his armor, leaned back, and lay down on the grass pier in the backyard.
He came from a humble background, his mother was a village girl, and her body was later defiled by bandits, so she had him.
When he was ten years old, he injured a child from a neighboring village and learned the truth about his life experience. No wonder those children called him a bastard.
He joined the army at the age of fifteen, and his bravery was outstanding. He was appreciated by the superior and accepted him as his disciple. It was then that he began to understand what a spiritual master was.
Thirty years later, he has cultivated to the Heavenly Spirit Realm. He understands that without the support of his family background, if he wants to be a master, in addition to being cautious, he must have genuine skills.
However, when the opportunity came, he cowed again. Even though he was facing a useless prince who was said to have severed ties with the Southern Emperor five years ago, he still did not have the courage to resist.
The humbleness deep in his bones made him upset. He could conclude that Lin Xichun was not in the city, but the former Southern Kingdom prince's power was still there. Should he try to break in?
At the moment, only the straw under him can soothe his troubled heart. This was true when he was a child, and it is true now.
"Sir, someone wants to see you!"
"No!" Deputy Commander Tie said coldly.
Just as the steward was about to leave, he was stopped by the beautiful woman standing aside.
"Look at your temper. If it's something important, wouldn't it be a pity to delay it?" the beautiful woman said angrily, and then stepped forward to pull Deputy Commander Tie up.
Deputy Marshal Tie sighed heavily: "Everything has been arranged in the city, what else can be done! Alas! Who wants to see you, and what is the matter?"
The steward was about to speak but stopped, and upon seeing this, the beautiful woman quickly pulled away and stepped aside.
The steward just approached and whispered: "It's Lei Fang."
Deputy Commander Tie narrowed his eyes slightly, the annoyance on his face disappeared, and he moved his eyes from side to side: "Bring him back."
After a while, Lei Fang, wearing a curtain hat and hunched body, slipped in.
"Greetings to Deputy Commander Tie!" Lei Fang quietly clasped his fists and saluted.
"Hey, this is a rare visitor. Should I call you Boss Lei! Or should I call you Lei, Manager?" Deputy Marshal Tie shook off the straw from his body and sat on a stone bench nearby.
"It's just a title, Deputy Commander Tie is casual. I'm here to announce the good news to you." Lei Fang opened the gauze curtain on his hat and smiled flatteringly.
"Why, is it you or your master?" Deputy Marshal Tie asked with a glare.
Lei Fang smiled coquettishly and glanced at the beautiful woman's slightly bulging belly: "Deputy Commander Tie is joking, master and I are not married yet, bah! There is no such thing as this, but Deputy Commander Tie..."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have something to say, let it go! I'm annoyed!" Deputy Marshal Tie shouted.
Lei Fang hurriedly nodded and said yes: "Can Deputy Commander Tie be promoted to a regular position and remove the subtitle, tonight..."
After seeing Lei Fang off, Deputy Commander Tie sat on the stone bench without moving for a long time. The beautiful woman quietly approached him and squeezed his shoulders with her delicate hands.
"Brother Yong, I think it's feasible. Anyway, you don't need to do it yourself. It's just a deposed prince. I'm afraid he will do anything!"
"Women know this very well!" Tie Yong stood up, and the beautiful woman took half a step back in shock, her eyes filled with frost.
This woman is his master's only daughter. The master entrusted her to him before his death, and now she is pregnant with his flesh and blood.
"Brother Yong, don't you think about yourself, and don't you think about the child in your belly? If you can't be a handsome man, how can you be hereditary, how can you build a family!" The beautiful woman said bitterly with a cry in her voice.
Tie Yong felt that his behavior was rude and his voice was much softer: "Well! If you are a womanizer, don't get involved with others."
"Pass my order to impose a curfew tonight, summon all the people in the city, and go out of the city overnight to find Commander Lei Ling!" Tie Yong walked out of the backyard and ordered the guards around him.
…
The night was dark and windy, and the wind stopped and the rain came.
In Qianji City, a person was holding an oil-paper umbrella and standing on a deserted street.
The autumn rain is like silver thread, falling softly on the umbrella. The woman under the umbrella is not beautiful, but her cold eyes appear extremely wise.
"Hall Master Xu, you've been waiting for a long time!" A sinister voice sounded from beside Xu Tingfeng.
Xu Tingfeng was startled and disappeared instantly. Only after releasing his spiritual realm did he regain his composure.
There was nothing around her just now. In addition to the demon girl she had seen before, there was another person using this method.
"So it's you, and you've returned to winter again?" Xu Tingfeng's voice was filled with surprise.
In the open space in front of him, a figure slowly appeared. The figure was wearing a gray cloak. He slowly raised his head and smiled slightly at Xu Tingfeng, revealing a row of black and yellow teeth.
"It's still comfortable in the winter, and I earn much more than outside!"
The speaker's name was Shi Yan, who once had a relationship with Lin Chuan and was almost melted by Lin Chuan's poison.
"Did Wen Renjun do your left arm?" Xu Tingfeng asked, looking at Shi Yan's empty left sleeve.
"How can he do that? I picked it myself!" Shi Yan grinned.
Xu Tingfeng frowned when she heard this, and a chill ran down her spine. She had dealt with Shi Yan more than once. His words seemed frivolous, but he never lied.
"Why didn't Master Sushuang come?" Xu Tingfeng changed the subject. Capturing Lin Chuan was a task personally arranged by the sect master, and there must be no mistakes.
Generally, tasks like this require each hall leader to personally carry out the task.
Lin Chuan has always been at the top of the Winter Bounty List, even though he disappeared for five years.
Xu Tingfeng was worthy of being the master of Tingfeng Hall. The moment Lin Chuan appeared in front of him, she thought of the long-lost eldest prince of the Southern Kingdom.
Her guess, coupled with the informant's inquiries, basically concluded that the eldest prince of the Southern Kingdom was back.
Xu Tingfeng passed the news to Yin Huan immediately, and Yin Huan naturally informed Concubine Hu. Hu Duo immediately selected someone to go north to contain Lin Xichun, hoping to cooperate with Li Dong to capture Lin Chuan.
Hu and Hua paid a sky-high price to Yin Huan, and they must send Lin Chuan alive to them.
Deputy Commander Tie detached the city's masters, and Shi Yan and three other Earth Spirit Realm assassins had to sneak into the city.
"Here he comes, right here." Shi Yan chuckled and pointed at himself with his finger: "Far away in the horizon, close in front of you!"
Xu Tingfeng was about to reprimand. In the cold winter, there was an orderly hierarchy between superiors and subordinates, and it was informal in separate halls, but in the same hall, it was extremely harsh. If someone overstepped their bounds, they might even be executed.
Shi Yan's cloak suddenly lifted up without any wind, and the silver rain that was tens of feet around suddenly stopped, and then slid down.
"Spirit Realm?! You... broke the mirror!" Xu Tingfeng was a little unbelievable because she had heard Yin Huan talk about this person before.
Yin Huan said that the muscles and veins in the whole body of Shi Yan's Hidden Spirit Copper Skin have been messed up for a long time. It is a miracle that he can reach the Earth Spirit Realm. He has no chance to advance to the Heaven Spirit Realm in this life.
"Make Hall Master Xu laugh." Shi Yan withdrew his spiritual realm and raised the corner of his mouth. He was very satisfied with Xu Tingfeng's expression.
He was able to break through the realm thanks to Lin Chuan. The rot in Lin Chuan melted half of his body, and the incomplete tendons were broken and stood up again, and they were reorganized. It was a blessing in disguise, and he achieved his current realm.
