Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Lin Chao has been dealing with various animals in the mountains for many years. Within half an hour, she found the tiger's lair.

"Ouch~~"

The tiger's roar that echoed through the mountains and forests exploded in everyone's ears.

"Escort! Escort!"

The leading soldier's eyes darkened, and he was the first to draw the sword at his waist and stand in front of Qi Yi.

Immediately afterwards, other soldiers also came forward and surrounded Qi Yi according to their commander's orders to prevent him from being attacked by the angry beast.

Lin Chao turned around and saw this scene. He knew that there was no one who needed his protection, and he felt much more at ease. He put all his energy into dealing with the beast in front of him.

This is a huge white-browed tiger with hanging eyes that is taller than a human when standing up. It has yellow and black stripes crisscrossing each other, and the word "King" on its forehead shows its unshakable status.

Lin Chao was not in a hurry and faced the tiger's head-on attack.

If a tiger pounces on you, and if you get crushed, the weight of several hundred kilograms can crush you to death.

Seeing this, Lin Chao moved his feet slightly and easily avoided the tiger's attack. Then, he turned around quickly and grabbed the tiger's tail with both hands.

He pulled hard, used the force to leap upward, and finally sat on the tiger's back.

Without waiting for the tiger to turn around and bite him, Lin Chao clenched his right hand into a fist and punched it quickly and accurately at its neck and back. One punch, two punches, three punches...

As the tiger's anger turned into mournful whimpers, the force of the fist gradually weakened.

Until the tiger lost all its strength and fell to the ground dazed, Lin Chao raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead, got off the tiger, took the rope handed to him by Qi Yi, and tied the tiger up tightly.

"Here you go, as compensation for the horse." Lin Chao pulled the hemp rope that tied the tiger with one hand, and dragged the poor tiger in front of Qi Yi step by step.

Qi Yi's eyes kept changing as he watched her lose her strength and could only whimper like a child.

After a long time, he signaled his men to bring the tiger back to the mansion, and he looked at Lin Chao and said:

"You are so capable, have you ever thought about joining the army and becoming a general?"

"Me?" Lin Chao smiled and shook his head.

"Forget it. I'm just a little stronger, there's nothing special about me."

"Besides, I am just a hunter. Even if I join the army and kill thousands of enemies on the battlefield, I am afraid that I will only be able to become a centurion."

"The rank of the official is secondary. I am not willing to fight to the death for such a person."

Qi Yi frowned imperceptibly.

It was all his ignorant mother's fault. When she was alive, she was nepotistic and easily deceived. Many important positions in the army were occupied by playboys who had no ability but were related to him by marriage.

This makes it very difficult for a soldier to make a name for himself on the battlefield. After all, the superiors also want credit. Since she is not capable, she can only steal from her subordinates.

This is not the only stupid thing my foolish mother has done. I need to change her slowly. One day, everything will be back on track.

Right now is a good opportunity.

Qi Yi looked at Lin Chao, his tone serious and solemn:

"Let me introduce myself to you again: Qi Yi, the minister of Anshun Emperor, and also the elder brother of the present generation."

"The current emperor is different from mother. His Majesty appoints people based on their merits and only looks at their abilities and personalities. You have everything. As long as I introduce you to my sister, you will definitely be valued."

Lin Chao thought that the man in front of him would be of noble status, but he didn't expect him to be so noble.

Princess Anshun had accompanied the emperor in the fight for the throne and was of great significance to the emperor.

"Sorry, I can't agree to this." Lin Chao thought for a moment and rejected his suggestion.

Qi Yi was shocked: "Why? With me here and your ability, there is no way you will be buried."

Lin Chao smiled and waved his hands, "I know. But I just know this and cannot agree to your request. If I use your power to join the army, wouldn't that make me the same as those people I hate?"

"I will join the army. But not here. I will go back to the village and apply for the army through normal channels."

Qi Yi had a complicated expression and thought for a moment, then took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Lin Chao.

"I understand that you don't want to rely on my power, but if you are capable and you are buried at the bottom, it will be a great loss to our dynasty."

"Let's put it this way. The imperial examination will be held soon. This time, there will be a martial arts examination together with the literary examination. The martial arts examination has no restrictions on identity or age. You can participate. I believe that with your ability, you will definitely win the title of martial arts champion."

"Then His Majesty will arrange the most suitable official position for you. This way, you can exert your greatest ability and it will not be a backdoor."

Lin Chao's expression suddenly became excited. Thinking of the source of the news, she clasped her fists and bowed to Qi Yi.

"Thank you, Emperor. I will never forget your kindness in the future. Is this the jade pendant?"

Lin Chao held the jade pendant that Qi Yi forced upon him, and turned it over and over again, but he still couldn't understand what the other party meant.

Qi Yi smiled and said, "You helped me a lot today. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me with the jade pendant."

Lin Chao tried to refuse several times but failed, so he took the jade pendant and put it in his purse.

It was already afternoon after they killed the tiger. The two chatted for some time. When Lin Chao returned to the temporarily rented yard, the sun had already set.

"Why did you come back?"

When Zhu Lerong saw Lin Chao push the door in, she finally let go of the tension in her heart.

Today's investigation went smoothly, so he came back early. Thinking of Lin Chao, he even took a detour to buy some unfamous but delicious pastries in Beijing.

They are not worried about business, as they only have specific customers and do not receive outside guests on weekdays.

Zhu Lerong was the only exception when he got lost and found this place as a child. The cute little boy who looked like a glutinous rice ball was loved by the shop owner's husband.

Zhu Lerong came back excitedly with cakes, but was faced with an empty courtyard, and her heart immediately sank.

He thought a lot in his mind, worried that Lin Chao was implicated because of his investigation, and regretted bringing her here from Tonglin Village for his own selfish desires.

Fortunately, he found the note left by Lin Chao and recognized her handwriting, otherwise, even if his identity was exposed in advance, he would still turn the capital upside down.

Although I was obviously worried about someone, the moment I spoke, my words somehow turned into an interrogation.

Zhu Lerong felt a little regretful, but he couldn't take back what he had said. He bit his lip, hesitated for a while, and handed the pastries on the table to her.

"You came back so late, didn't you have dinner? Here, my uncle asked me to bring it back."

He was so stubborn again, and he called the snacks he brought back as "leftovers" that he packed up.

Lin Chao unfolded the oil paper package, revealing the colorful pastries inside, which were beautiful and exquisite.

I picked up a piece casually and it actually had a faint floral fragrance. I put it in my mouth and it immediately melted in my mouth like water.

This pastry is not as mushy as other pastries. It is refreshing, non-greasy and has a lingering fragrance.

Lin Chao had never been greedy for food before, but maybe the pastries tasted too good, or maybe he was really hungry after fighting the tiger, this time he couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

Zhu Lerong felt distressed when she saw Lin Chao wolfing down the food, and she looked at her carefully.
