Even though he was surrounded, Lin Feng remained calm.
Last time, he had already experienced the greed of these Heavenly Martial Army soldiers. Who would have thought that they would be even more greedy this time!
At this moment …
The Heavenly Martial Army soldiers in front of him parted to the sides, creating a path for him. Lin Feng looked over and saw five soldiers approaching with cold expressions and a stern aura. The leader was tall and skinny, and the two gold-rimmed bronze stars on his shoulders were dazzling.
"First Lieutenant?" Lin Feng thought to himself.
"Captain Luo!" They shouted in unison, and all the Heavenly Martial Army soldiers bowed their heads thirty degrees.
The hierarchy of the Heavenly Martial Army was very clear.
Tap, tap! Captain Luo walked towards Lin Feng with steady and powerful steps. He looked straight into Lin Feng's eyes, but all he saw was a deep darkness. His heart trembled. At this moment, one of the soldiers behind him shouted, "How dare you! Why aren't you kneeling when you see First Lieutenant Luo!"
The spectators felt their hearts tremble, and they looked at Lin Feng with pity.
In Qihuo Town, the Heavenly Martial Army was very powerful!
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Feng's left hand reached into his bosom, and he slowly pulled out an ancient token that emitted a silver light …
Captain Luo glanced at it, and in an instant —
His expression changed!
"Thud!" Captain Luo fell to one knee, and cold sweat poured down his back. "Luo Yi greets Milord!"
Complete silence.
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes were wide open. Even Lin Shui 'er, who was in Lin Feng's arms, had her mouth slightly agape, not knowing what had happened.
At this moment, the four soldiers behind Luo Yi also saw the two words "Xiao Yang" on the token. They were so scared that their legs trembled, and they hurriedly knelt to the ground. The soldier who had scolded Lin Feng earlier was especially scared out of his wits, and his forehead was covered in sweat. "Mommy, we're dead for sure now …"
Even the leader had knelt, so how could the surrounding soldiers still dare to stand? Luo Yi's "Milord" shocked them even more.
To be called "Milord", at the very least —
They were all at the same level as the three big shots of Fire Prayer Town!
Lin Wanqing was already in a daze. She looked at her son as if she had never seen him before. Her heart was unable to calm down.
"Get up and talk, Captain Roger," Lin Feng said softly.
"Yes, my Lord." Luo Yi replied in fear.
Looking at the first lieutenant in front of him, Lin Feng sighed in his heart. Not long ago, he had to look up to him, but now, he was respectful to him.
"Because of this token …" Lin Feng's right hand clenched even tighter.
Time and time again, he deeply understood how important strength was in the Sky Martial Continent!
Without strength, not to mention protecting his family, it would be difficult for him to even protect himself!
"It's actually very simple. He stole my money and I caught him on the spot." Lin Feng pointed at the pale man in embroidered clothes. His eyes suddenly glanced to the distance, "And that Second Lieutenant Ma wanted to catch me indiscriminately, so …"
Luo Yi broke out in cold sweat and nodded, "Yes, yes, my Lord. I will immediately take care of it and give you an explanation." Finished speaking, he turned around and angrily shouted to the four soldiers behind him, "Why aren't you doing anything! Immediately throw these two into the military prison. Wait for me to personally interrogate them when I return! "
"Yes, Captain Roger!" The four soldiers received the order and immediately took action, not daring to delay.
Seeing the man in embroidered clothes and Second Lieutenant Ma being dragged away like dead dogs, the onlookers were immediately overjoyed and praised them.
Obviously, the two of them had 'committed crimes' not just once or twice. They had accumulated a deep grudge.
"Mother, let's go." Lin Feng nodded to his mother.
"Brother, you're so powerful!" Lin Shui 'er's eyes shone brightly as she gave a thumbs up. Lin Feng smiled and rubbed her little head.
Lin Feng understood that the truly powerful one was not himself, but …
That silver command medallion.
"Why are all of you still standing there like idiots?!" Luo Yi angrily rebuked. As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Martial Army soldiers suddenly understood. They all rushed forward and hurriedly helped Lin Feng's family carry this and that. Every soldier's face was filled with smiles and was incomparably amiable. In an instant, Lin Wanqing and Lin Yun were somewhat unable to accept it.
"My Lord, this way ~" Luo Yi followed him like a follower with a face full of smiles.
"Captain Roger, there's no need to be so polite." Lin Feng smiled.
The sudden change was too big, and he was a bit unaccustomed to it.
"It's my duty, it's my duty." Luo Yi hurriedly said, "My Lord, where … are you going? Is there anything I can help you with? "
Lin Feng was just about to refuse when he suddenly had a thought.
He was unfamiliar with this place, and Luo Yi had a lot of support here. It was obvious that he was a 'local snake'.
"I want to buy a house here. I wonder if Captain Roger has any connections?" Lin Feng asked casually.
"Yes, yes, of course!" Luo Yi hurriedly said.
Lin Feng couldn't help but smile. He had a request, but Luo Yi looked even happier than he did. Lin Feng, however, didn't know that Luo Yi had been feeling uneasy since just now. If Lin Feng made a big deal out of this matter and investigated it, then he would be in trouble.
Furthermore, even if this matter didn't happen, Luo Yi would burn incense to be able to curry favor with a 'benefactor' like Lin Feng!
"My Lord, please get on the carriage."
Just as they left the town gate, Lin Feng saw a moving carriage with the Heavenly Martial Army's insignia. It was unique and luxurious. He turned around and carefully helped his parents and siblings into the carriage. Lin Feng had just sat in the carriage. The large and small bags were placed on the carriage, but the carriage still looked extremely spacious.
With a light shout from Luo Yi, the moving carriage immediately sped off. Lin Wanqing and Lin Shui 'er felt a sense of novelty and surprise as they felt the gentle sound of the wind and watched the buildings on both sides move past them. It was indeed no different from the first time Lin Feng had sat in the carriage.
"My Lord, what kind of luxurious residence do you want to buy?" Luo Yi smiled embarrassedly. "Qihuo Town is small and doesn't have a residence. The largest and most luxurious residence is in the center of the town. It has three floors and a garden …"
Lin Feng shook his head.
Although he also hoped to live in a luxurious residence, it wasn't realistic. His entire fortune only amounted to ten days of martial coins.
Not to mention a luxurious residence, he couldn't even afford a detached house.
"It doesn't need to be that good. Just recommend a contiguous building to me." Lin Feng nodded. "As long as it's convenient to enter and exit, the air is fresh, there's sunlight, and it's safe and stable."
These three requirements weren't too high.
However, to Lin Feng, these were his wishes since he was young.
He wanted his father to be able to walk around more often and breathe in the fresh air.
He wanted his family to no longer have to stay in a place where the sun didn't shine all year round. Their skin was sickly white.
Most importantly, he didn't have to be on tenterhooks like before.
Luo Yi smiled. "My Lord, don't joke around. With your status, how can you squeeze into a building with those commoners?"
Lin Feng smiled. "I'm just a commoner."
Luo Yi's expression turned serious. She thought to herself, "This Lord looks unfamiliar and doesn't seem to be from a wealthy family. However, he has the silver token of Cloud Sun City at such a young age. His background isn't simple. I'm afraid he's a new disciple of some big shot. He'll definitely be someone extraordinary in the future!"
"I wonder if my Lord is interested in a military residence?" Luo Yi asked.
"Oh?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
He had heard Lin Ting mention that the military residence was where the family members of the Tianwu Army lived. Although it wasn't as bustling as the town center, it was quiet and peaceful. The environment was comfortable and suitable for the elderly to enjoy their old age. Most importantly, the Tianwu Military District was very safe.
In Qihuo Town, the Tianwu Army was the most powerful force. Even the Qihuo Martial Hall couldn't compare to them.
"But the military residence seems to be a standalone building. It costs at least 10,000 gold coins, which is 100 days of martial coins. Are there connected buildings?" Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder.
As if she saw Lin Feng's doubts, Luo Yi smiled and said, "My Lord has the silver token of Cloud Sun City. You have a high status and can enjoy a 10% discount. An ordinary standalone building can be bought for 10 days of martial coins."
"Really?" Lin Feng was overjoyed.
If he could buy a standalone building in the military district for 10 days of martial coins, it would be an unexpected surprise.
Luo Yi smiled and nodded. "My Lord, please don't worry. When we reach the military residence, I'll bring you around. Although the residence is small, it has everything you need, including shops, markets, libraries, etc. You can complete all the procedures in about two hours and move in immediately. "
"Then I'll have to trouble Captain Luo." Lin Feng said happily.
After saying that, Lin Feng took out some Tianwu coins from his waist but was stopped by Captain Luo.
Luo Yi smiled and said, "My Lord, you're too polite. A mere 10 days of martial coins is not worth mentioning. Just take it as a small gift from Luo Yi. Please don't refuse."
Seeing Luo Yi being so generous, Lin Feng smiled and didn't refuse. It was his first time in Qihuo Town and it was always good to have some money on hand.
"This Captain Luo is indeed a smart person." Lin Feng nodded.
Adding flowers to embroidery and sending charcoal in snowy weather were two completely different concepts.
Although Luo Yi's intentions were obvious, he couldn't help but accept his kindness.
"Luo Yi …" Lin Feng remembered this name.
※ ※ ※
"From today onwards, wear the military uniform and you will be a member of the Tianwu Army. As long as you pass the martial combat assessment, you will officially wear the bronze star and become a second lieutenant …" In the military district, a Tianwu soldier was routinely lecturing on behalf of the 'new recruits'.
Ceng Yang, Wei Ning …
Familiar faces appeared one after another. The ten new recruits stood up straight, their eyes filled with pride.
Suddenly — —
The sound of moving carriages could be heard from afar. The Tianwu soldier looked over and immediately shouted, "Everyone, turn around and welcome Captain Luo."
"Yes, Instructor!" The new recruits hurriedly stood up straight, their expressions a little nervous. They had just found out that there were only three captains in the military district and their positions were extremely high.
With respectful expressions, Ceng Yang, Wei Ning, and the other new recruits all raised their heads and looked at the moving carriages of the military district. As they got closer and closer, in an instant — —
They were all dumbfounded.
Lin Feng?
Why was he together with Captain Luo?
Furthermore, from the way the two of them were talking, Captain Luo was smiling flatteringly as if he was trying to curry favor with him.
Were their eyes playing tricks on them?
