my unparalleled way

Chapter 1456 Value
"Who is this?" When the group of people came to them, the general who was over fifty years old asked warmly.

Although the Three Swords Merchant Association is in the limelight, it is only limited to the Nanwu Province. Besides, some people may have heard his name, but they may not necessarily know what he looks like.

The general didn't know him, but Lin San still knew him.

This fourth-rank general named Zhong Tianjing is the chief officer in charge of logistics preparations of the Fifth Corps in the Southeast Theater. If Lin San really wants to let the Three Swords Merchant Association join the army, he should of course take this opportunity. To take advantage of.

In fact, in this banquet hall, there are already countless people secretly envious of him, and even jealous that he can get Zhong Tianjing's initiative to approach him out of thin air.

"This is Lin San, the president of the Three Swords Chamber of Commerce, a rare young talent..." Xiao Wenkang, the Governor of Nanwu Province, said with a smile.

"I've seen the general!" Lin San gave a military salute.

"Oh? You used to be a soldier?"

"I have served in the Sixth Corps in the Southeast Theater!" He said loudly.

"You know Qi Qi?"

Qi Qi quickly answered for him: "Before he joined the army, he was my best friend. We joined the army together, but later we were not in the same regiment, so I couldn't find him."

Zhong Tianjing frowned: "You two joined the army together? Then why isn't he on the front line?"

When Qi Qi joined the army, of course he knew very well. It can be said that the period when she joined the army was the most intense time of the war.If this Lin San was a soldier at that time, how could he have been discharged in such a short few years, and then opened such a large chamber of commerce, right?
"Ha, what the general doesn't know is that little brother Lin Sanlin is a second-level combat hero. He retired with honor due to injury." Zhai Xingyan, the lord of Jupan City next to Xiao Wenkang, explained at the right time.

As soon as his words fell, Qi Qi's face changed instantly. What she heard was not some military exploits, but the words retired due to injury.

"Are you hurt? Where did you get hurt? When did you get hurt? Why didn't you tell me?" She had instinctively started to pat him as before, so why would she care about his image?
So the next moment, she finally noticed his weird standing posture.

"Why are you so careless..." Her eyes suddenly turned red.

"I'm fine, I can still walk normally, and I can also run and jump." He smiled and comforted her, so that she didn't have to worry about herself.

But deep down in his heart, he still felt a touch of long-lost emotion.

Yes, she is the one who is really worried about herself and is really good for herself, even though she always seems to bring trouble to herself in the past.In front of her, I don't need to have any defenses, I can even rely on her...

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to blame him, but this occasion was inappropriate after all.Especially at the next moment, that General Zhong finally reacted.

"A second-level combat hero? The Sixth Corps?" He raised his eyebrows, as if he suddenly remembered something.

Yes, there are not many recipients of the Red Blood Medal, even in wartime, there are still not more than three hundred.And during the period when Lin San joined the army, he easily remembered the source.

"Were you injured in the battle in Jingjiang City? Are you the group of warriors who carried the iron gate?" His expression became serious in an instant.

Although the Sixth Corps led that battle, the [-]th Corps also sent troops to support it, so he certainly remembered it clearly.Especially the story of the iron gate being lifted was spread throughout Bilan's army at that time.Just because there were twenty or thirty survivors at that time, their names naturally became less prominent.

"Yes, I was wounded after that battle, and I couldn't continue to kill the enemy on the front line, so I had to retreat regretfully."

Zhong Tianjing took a deep breath, and suddenly slowly raised his left hand to salute: "On behalf of all the soldiers of the Fifth Corps who participated in the battle at that time, thank you!"

He knew very well that if there were no warriors holding the iron gate with their flesh and blood at that time, the people sent by the Fifth Corps to support them would have been wiped out.The victory of that war was almost carried out by them.

And the moment he raised his hand, several other generals and young officers accompanying him also raised their left hands quickly.

When Lin San raised his hand to return the salute, the rest of the people in the venue were completely stunned.

To be honest, most of them knew that Lin San was a second-class combat hero.Some of them have seen his Red Blood Medal, but it's just that they don't know when it was made.

After all, when they got along with Lin San, they were not very good at talking about front-line wars. Most of the talks were about business, or just gossip.

He gave them the feeling that he had never been a soldier, but a pure businessman...

So that over time, many people even doubted whether his military exploits were made up.After all, it is not uncommon for a "successful businessman" like him to deliberately fabricate some glorious resumes to give himself credit.

They really didn't expect that the military exploits were real, and it was a famous battle that touched many Bilan people a few years ago.

But what made them even more unacceptable was that Lin San received special treatment from Zhong Tianjing for his merits.In the eyes of many presidents of the chamber of commerce, this is nothing more than the fact that the Three Swords Chamber of Commerce has taken the lead in this military business.

Although the military will not purchase old protective gear, with the current strength of the Three Swords Chamber of Commerce, it is not impossible to produce new protective gear, is it?What's more, what do you want? Isn't it the mood of watching Zhong Tianjing?

In fact, Lin San was a little surprised.It is true that I saved a lot of people in the Fifth Corps by doing meritorious service at that time, but Zhong Tianjing doesn't value it so much, does he?It's been several years since this happened, and I'm just one of those dozens of people.

But at this time, naturally no one would explain the reason to him.Soon, he chatted happily with Zhong Tianjing, Xiao Wenkang and several other general officials.

The dance between Ahan and the man in front of her is still not over, but her mind has already drifted far, far away.

It is true that Lin San's combat achievements are so outstanding, which surprised her a little.But what she was more surprised and more concerned about was his appearance in front of Qi Qi.

That was the first time she saw him look embarrassed. She had known him for so long, and in her impression he was almost always talking and laughing calmly.Even in front of the governor and that Zhong Tianjing, he still behaved neither humble nor overbearing.

However, some details could not be hidden from Ahan. In front of that woman, he showed a side that he had never seen before.The joy from the heart, but also a little shivering, as if someone caught him after doing something wrong, and the calmness of the past has long since disappeared...

That woman is just a little hundred cavalry commander, and she can see that this woman is not a powerful person just by observing a little bit, so it is necessary for him to behave like this?
The only thing she realized was that the reason why he just announced that he would give up this business uncharacteristically was probably because of this woman.

But why?Just because that woman used to be his acquaintance, so he is not willing to do business with acquaintances?This business is not to cut flesh from that woman, the military is going to purchase equipment, who is not buying it?
What happened between them?
In fact, even Lin San himself couldn't tell the reason and answer to her questions.He didn't seem to have done anything to offend Qi Qi. If we really counted, he actually saved her a few times, and he was kind to her.

He also felt inexplicable about his own mentality.However, even though his mind is extremely complicated and he has always been good at guessing people's hearts, he still can't explain this state at this time.

All he could know was that after seeing her, he was actually very happy.And after seeing her live well, I am even happier.And that seems to be enough.

"You were there in the battle of Jingjiang City? I was there at the time. Didn't you see me?"

Qi Qi's voice full of surprise reached his ears, did she finally react until this moment?
He couldn't help but chuckled inwardly, but felt very nostalgic.Yes, she was such a person who always made him feel helpless and grateful.

"I didn't see it, there were so many people at that time..." He lied almost instinctively.

Of course he didn't dare to tell her that he had actually spotted her at the first sight.If she found out, she would be very angry, right?Although her anger always dissipated quickly, he still didn't want to let her down.

She nodded unconsciously, her face was full of regret: "That's right, what a pity, if I had seen you then, maybe you wouldn't have been hurt."

Sure enough, she was still as 'easy to cheat' as before.

This is the end of the reminiscing conversation between the two, because there are big figures such as Zhong Tianjing and Xiao Wenkang on the side. Both he and she are very clear that now is not the time for them to do things casually. After all, this is not Xinyucheng That cramped room.

Because of the presence of Zhong Tianjing and the other generals, civilian officials such as Xiao Wenkang and Zhai Xingyan also took the initiative to turn the topic to war.

A group of people talked about some famous battles on the front line, about the brilliance of tactics, and about the long-term strategy. At this moment, everyone seemed to be a military strategist.

Zhong Tianjing seemed to really have an excellent impression of Lin San, and would turn the conversation to him at the right time during the conversation, so that he could also participate, and Xiao Wenkang and others could naturally see that the general had a good impression of this young man. He received special treatment from the boss, so the atmosphere around him was warm and extraordinary for a while.

With Lin San's ability, even if no one deliberately mentions him, he can actually cut into the conversation freely. After all, he has experienced many similar occasions in this way in business.

But in the conversation of this war discussion, he didn't show anything special.Even though everyone gave him an 'opportunity' to express his views on certain battle cases after learning that he had studied in the Second Military Academy, his answers were only quite satisfactory, completely in line with what a normal military school student should look like.

He still doesn't understand why he is like this. In fact, this field is what he is really interested in, and it is also what he is best at, isn't it?How could it be possible for a person who could write "Seven Strategies" not to have his own unique insights into the war?
He can only tell himself that sometimes it is not wise to be in the limelight, because if you are in the limelight, you will steal the limelight from others, so it is right for you to be so clumsy.

But deep down, he couldn't lie to himself.

The reason why he did this was because he didn't want to show his boldness in front of her. He still remembered the panic and alienation she showed after the self-assessed performance and speech in Yuanqing City.

Yeah, that doesn't fit the look of 'Silly Three' in her mind.That would overturn the image he had projected from the first day they met, and he wasn't sure how she would feel then.
