"Go north along the official road for 120 miles. If you see a military flag with the word 'Lin' on it, you've arrived."

The closer they got to Kyoto, the more refugees there were on the road, and the boy had to slow down to avoid bumping into others.

Suddenly, a person rolled out from the grass. The boy quickly stopped his horse and turned it around to avoid stepping on the person.

The woman was dressed in rags, with her eyes tightly closed on her withered face, and she was completely motionless. A middle-aged man stumbled over to the woman, sat down, and cursed her with all his might, "Oh my God, is there still any law? Someone is riding a horse and injuring people—"

There were seven or eight huts made of firewood on the roadside. Most of the other refugees just watched from a distance and did not dare to get close. A hint of pride flashed in the eyes of the man on the ground, and he pinched the woman hard.

The woman groaned weakly in pain, and her already tattered clothes, which barely covered her body, slipped off, revealing her chest covered in purple bruises.

The man's triangular eyes showed a hint of excitement, and then he struck again. The woman curled up, her mouth wide open, her expression painful as she shed a few tears "Ah - Ah -"

Triangle Eyes pounded the ground and repeated in his hoarse voice, "He Niang, He Niang, open your eyes and look at me—this man is the one who hurt you."

The boy narrowed his eyes and said, "Get out of the way!"

Triangle Eyes stood up and said angrily, "You want to leave after hurting someone? There is no such rule anywhere!" As soon as he finished speaking, two more people walked out from the roadside and stood behind Triangle Eyes with gloomy faces.

The boy looked coldly, "What if I don't agree?"

The triangular-eyed man smiled smugly. "Either leave the horse and the silver, or leave both the man and the horse." He licked his lips, revealing a mouthful of dirty, smelly yellow teeth. "This kid looks delicate and tender, he must taste good."

The young man wasn't angry. He dismounted calmly and found a random tree to tie himself to. He then pulled a long sword from his pack and pointed it at the three men, whose expressions had clearly changed. "Have you guys ever eaten humans?"

Triangle Eyes took a step back, his face suddenly gloomy. "Boy, I'm in a good mood today. I won't bother with you. Get out of here!"

The young man raised his sword and said, "I'll ask you one last time, who has ever eaten a human?"

"he."

The woman who had been unconscious raised a trembling finger and pointed forward, her cloudy eyes moving. "He, he ate my—"

"Damn it, you bastard, you're looking for death!" Triangle Eyes was furious and turned around and kicked him.

The woman whimpered and curled up tightly. "Eat it, my child! Wuu, wuu - child!"

The man with triangular eyes spat a mouthful of yellow phlegm at the woman's face and said viciously, "I think you are sick and confused. It's bad luck!"

The boy put the sword back into his bag with a blank expression. "Using the sword is too cheap for you."

Triangle Eyes wiped his chin and laughed, "Boy, you're courting death!" The next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore, because the boy had already attacked him like lightning. Triangle Eyes was shocked and raised his hand to block, but the boy bent his legs and threw a heavy punch at him.

The two henchmen saw nothing but a flash before their eyes, and their boss flew out backwards. They looked at each other and ran away.

The young man spread his wings like a roc and jumped behind the two men. He grabbed them by the collar and gave them a knee kick. Two teeth-grinding bone-breaking sounds were heard, and the two followers let out miserable wails and fell to the ground, holding their legs.

Triangle Eyes endured the severe pain and desperately crawled forward, trying to escape the devil behind him, but he was soon dragged back by one foot. He held his head and begged for mercy, his face covered with snot and tears, "Young man, spare me, young man, spare me."

The young man remained expressionless, his blows swift and fierce, causing Triangle Eyes to scream in agony. The refugees gradually gathered around, silently watching the scene unfold.

Until there was no good spot on Triangle Eyes' body, and he was breathing in more than out. The boy circled around him, kicked him hard in the lower three parts, and crushed him hard with his toes. Triangle Eyes convulsed all over and foamed at the mouth.

After doing all this, the young man dragged his triangular eyes to the woman, whose life or death was unknown. He squatted down and stuffed a short blade into her hand, pointing it at the enemy's neck and said, "Avenge your child."

The woman was hysterical and almost insane. She used the last bit of her strength to manipulate the weapon in her hand and stabbed her enemy again and again until she died.

The young man put away the short blade, cleaned it, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and put it on the ground. "Please help me bury He Niang properly. Thank you very much."

The young man climbed onto his horse and heard the movement behind him. He didn't turn around and shouted, "Gee!"

The setting sun lengthened the boy's shadow, and people who witnessed it could still remember the scene many years later.

It was not until the next day that the young man saw the military flag with the word "Lin" mentioned by the old man.

After the soldier at the gate heard the young man's purpose, he first walked around him and finally asked him to take off his veil.

The soldier was startled and looked at it for a moment. "Is this a wine thorn?"

The boy nodded, then rolled up his sleeves to reveal a clean bronze arm.

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and showed him the way. "Okay, go into the first tent on the left and register."

There was a square table in the tent, and a young man was sitting behind the table.

"Name?"

"Lu Wang."

"How old is this year?"

"Seventeen, lives in Shimendong, Jingzhou, and knows a little bit of martial arts."

The young man stopped what he was doing and tapped the table twice with his fingers. "Put your hands on the table and spread them out flat."

Lu Wang did as he was told, deliberately revealing the calluses on his knuckles and fingertips.

The young man's eyes lit up, and he crossed his hands, ready to move. "Little brother, you are too modest. Since you have nothing to do right now, why not go out and spar with me?"

Lu Yun, using the pseudonym Lu Wang, asked, "Is there any explanation for this?"

The young man had already stood up and smiled when he heard this, "To be honest, little brother, my lady is planning to recruit a group of people to form a personal guard, but the positions in these personal guards will naturally be filled by the most capable."

So that's how it is. The treatment of the young lady's personal soldiers must be better than that of ordinary soldiers. The fact that they don't have to squeeze into a large bunk bed with dozens of people saves Lu Yun a lot of trouble.

The two men arrived at the training grounds, one in front of the other. Along the way, they saw soldiers engaged in vigorous training. The young man clearly held considerable influence here, and many people, after greeting him, began to scrutinize the short, toad-faced figure following behind him.

Several people came forward and asked, "Big Jia, there's a new person here?"

The young man smiled and said, "This little brother is no ordinary person. It just so happens that I haven't practiced with others for a long time, so I went to the training ground to practice."

Lu Yun immediately noticed that more eyes were on her. The most exaggerated ones were the three people in front of her. Their eyes were like a hungry wolfhound seeing its beloved meat buns, and they were almost glowing green.

"Let's go, we have to go and take a look!"

The training ground of the Lin family army was no less impressive than that of the Nanyue Palace. Various unsharpened cold weapons were neatly arranged on the wooden racks on both sides.

The ground is flat, the surroundings are clean, the functional areas have clear boundaries, and soldiers in training will not cross the boundaries without permission.

Lu Yun nodded secretly, knowing that she had come to the right place.

Da Jia made a gesture of invitation and said, "Little brother, let's stop here."

Lu Yun weighed the opponent's strength. She would need to use 60% of her strength to deal with Zhou Boli, but 40% of her strength would be enough for the big brother in front of her.
