Martial Arts: This world is different

Chapter 21
Lin Hu was overjoyed when he heard that, the repeated life and death during this period finally paid off. At that time, he thanked Ji Gang and other senior officials of Jinyiwei again and again.

"You don't need to be too polite. You deserve these. The imperial edict should be issued within a few days. Then you can go to the Ministry of Officials to go through some formalities before you can take office. In addition, after finishing all these tasks, I plan to let you Go to Wudang Mountain once."

"Wudang Mountain!?" Lin Hu was slightly taken aback.

Ji Gang looked at Lin Hu at this moment, and said with a smile: "Do you know why I sent you to Wudang?"

"Humble and ignorant, dare not make wild guesses."

"Hey, here are all our own people, you don't have to be cautious, it's okay to talk about it."

"Uh, before Dai Rongchang said that the Jianwen Remnant Party has close ties with Shaolin, Wudang and other sects, and the last time I found the Wudang sect's cheats in their stronghold, it seems to have corroborated Dai Rongchang's words, so the court is thinking this time. Let's find out evidence of the collusion between the Wudang faction and the remaining Jianwen faction?"

Ji Gang's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, you are a smart person, why didn't I discover such a talent like you before, as long as you continue like this, your future status will not be just a hundred households."

"you flatter me."

"But you are right about one thing. The imperial court has always respected Wudang, and the Wudang faction is also quite prestigious in the Jianghu. Therefore, we don't want to make too much noise this time. After you go, you just need to find out the details. We will decide with the court in the future, do you understand what I mean?"

"Understandable."

"But don't worry, Hong Lie is mainly responsible for this matter, you just need to help him well."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hu hurriedly saluted Weng Honglie who was at the side: "Mr. Weng, this time I'm at the mercy of orders all the way, and I hope you will cultivate it a lot."

Weng Honglie stroked his goatee at this moment and couldn't help smiling: "Lin Baihu is too polite, I'm old, and the future depends on you young people."

In this way, Ji Gang and others explained some other details to Lin Hu, and then let him leave. After Lin Hu left, Ji Gang asked Weng Honglie: "What do you think of this Lin Hu?"

"There should be a fire of the upper level of the Dongming Realm, and it should be able to enter the Yaoguang Realm soon."

"Who asked you this, I'm asking what do you think of his character and mind?"

"It looks very humble and docile, but it feels a little tactful and unpredictable."

Ji Gang nodded, and flipped through the file on the table: "I used to have an impression of this Lin Hu. His martial arts are low, and he is also a young man, but recently his martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, and his whole person seems to have completely changed."

"Do you think there's something strange about it?"

"It's hard to say now, so I specially sent him to go to Wudang with you this time, so that you can find out his details. If there is nothing wrong with him, then cultivate him well. Maybe he will be a talent in the future, otherwise." When Ji Gang said this, he closed the file forcefully. As his old subordinate Weng Honglie, he understood Ji Gang's thoughts at that time.

A few days later, Lin Hu was officially promoted to one of the hundred households of Jinyiwei. Relatives and friends naturally gave him congratulations. Even An Shouben came here on purpose. Originally, everyone thought that Lin Hu and the An family had a special friendship, so the congratulations this time will definitely not be less , it turned out that although the items given away were of high value, the quantity was actually not much. Many people even privately commented that the An family was in business after all, and that they were too stingy at critical times.

Although Lin Hu didn't think so, he also felt a little strange. After waiting for the two sides to divide the guests and hosts into seats, An Shouben said: "We are all very happy to know that your benefactor has been promoted. My father originally planned to come here in person. Congratulations, it's just that his body hasn't completely recovered, and he's afraid that it will be too public and cause trouble to benefactor, so he sent a villain here, and hope benefactor doesn't mind."

"Young Master An, you are very polite. I am very grateful that you can come to Lin in person."

"By the way, this is the gift list. Please have a look at it." An Shouben took out a piece of red paper and handed it to Lin Hu. , explain immediately.

"Actually, our family was quite hesitant about this congratulatory gift. It is not an exaggeration to say that the benefactor's kindness to my family is to give it all. But then we thought it would be too vulgar, so we carefully selected some. An elegant and small gift is not a respect."

Hearing this, Lin Hu suddenly realized, and thought that the An family was a wealthy and famous person after all, and after all, they did things differently. At that time, Lin Hu looked carefully at the gift list, and they were indeed quite elegant boutiques. However, when he saw the last line of the gift list, it was Can't help but be taken aback.

"What's the matter with this maid?" Lin Hu immediately asked An Shouben.

"That's right. We heard that Engong is not yet married, and there is no maid in the house. It is quite inconvenient at ordinary times. Therefore, we specially sent a maid to take care of Engong's diet and daily life." Speaking of this, An Shouben took three shots. Immediately, a young woman came in from the outside. Although she was wearing a servant's costume, she could still be seen to have a graceful figure, but her head was wrapped in a turban, so she couldn't see her face clearly.

"Ha Ni, this is Lin Baihu, your new master, please see before you take off your headscarf."

"See Master." The woman slowly took off her turban while bowing and saluting. At that moment, Lin Hu felt his eyes light up. This person's appearance is amazing, with a high nose and deep eyes. At first glance, he is not from the Middle Earth. It's unbelievable that such a beauty is just a servant. At that time, Lin Hu turned his head to look at An Shouben.

"Master An, isn't this appropriate?"

An Shouben smiled: "What's wrong with this? No one in a wealthy family has any child servants and maidservants. Engong is now a dignified sixth-rank military officer. It's not uncommon to have a few maids, unless you don't like this child. In that case I can substitute immediately."

"That's not true, it's just that it's a pity to be a handmaid with such appearance."

"Well, speaking of which, this child is also a miserable person. Her parents died early, and she was taken as a slave. Later, my second brother went to the Western Regions to do business, and happened to meet her. He saw that she was talented and beautiful, and his background was pitiful. Buying it back to the mansion was originally intended to serve our old grandmother, but now it happens to be donated to benefactor."

Lin Hu was also quite emotional when he heard that at the time, a living person is now treated like a thing. This may be the limitation of the feudal era, but this kind of thing is not something that Lin Hu can change by himself. At that moment, he had no choice but to say to An Shouben: "Master An, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't keep this person. You should take her back, or let her go free."

An Shouben was a little surprised at this moment: "Could it be that benefactor is too polite? It's easy to handle. I'll ask the family to send some more maids here immediately. It's up to you to choose."
