Neither Jin Yue'e, her mother and her son in Tianlingtun, nor Li Changsen and Li Sanlang who fought bloody battles at Dieling Pass knew anything about the Chiang family's inquiries and decisions.
Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, it has been three months since Li Sanlang arrived at Dieling Pass.
In the past three months, he has experienced countless battles, and the childishness he once had has long faded, and he has become calm and determined.
On September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, the new governor came to Dieling Pass in person to award rewards for the frequent war victories in recent times.
Early in the morning, Li Erya brought Li Wuya and Li Qilang to wait.
"Brother said that my father will most likely be promoted to centurion this time."
"Great, we have to congratulate Dad later."
The three siblings talked happily. It was almost noon when they saw Li Sanlang trotting out of the city.
"elder brother."
Not seeing Li Changsen, Li Wuya was a little surprised: "Brother, where is dad?"
Li Sanlang didn't look very good: "Dad has something to do, and he was called away by the captain."
Li Wuya looked at Li Sanlang's face: "Brother, has something happened?"
Li Sanlang didn't want to hide it from his younger brothers and sisters, and sighed: "Dad was not promoted to centurion this time."
"why?!"
"Didn't you say that dad is the most brave in killing enemies on the battlefield? Last time he captured a general from Beiyan. With so much credit, it's time for him to be promoted?"
Looking at his confused younger brothers and sisters, Li Sanlang was also troubled: "The promotion of soldiers is very complicated, and promotion cannot be achieved only by having military merit."
Positions above centurion are almost a carrot and a pit. Unless someone dies in battle, retreats, or is promoted, the position becomes vacant, and a lower-level person may be promoted.
In this way, there will definitely not be too many places.
There are many forces in the army, and whenever there is a vacant position, all parties will compete for it. Like his father, who has no foundation in the army, how can he win over others.
Li Wuya frowned: "If you don't rely on military merit, what can you rely on? Rely on relationships?"
Li Sanlang was silent: "The Centurion said that my father's qualifications are not enough, and a centurion needs to have certain military command capabilities, which my father does not know."
Li Wuya snorted: "These are all excuses. The main reason is probably because our family has nothing to do with being in the military."
Li Sanlang didn't say anything, which was his acquiescence.
The newly promoted centurion was not as good as his father in terms of kung fu and enemy killing, but he was promoted to his brother-in-law just because he was on guard.
He now understands why his father doesn't want him to go to the battlefield. It is too difficult for military families like them who have no connections in the army to move up.
In the past few months, he has gradually come to understand that one cannot achieve success by killing enemies bravely on the battlefield, unless they also join a faction.
But relying on others...their family's development is left to others to decide.
Li Wuya frowned: "Brother, isn't General Zhuang Shen of Dieling Pass very fair and reasonable? He doesn't care about these things?"
Li Sanlang smiled bitterly and said: "General Zhuang is so busy with his affairs, how can he pay attention to such trivial matters?"
Li Qilang took over: "Then you take the initiative to find him."
Li Sanlang smiled and shook his head: "I want to go to General Zhuang in person. Let's not say whether he will see me. If others find out about this, my father and I will have a difficult life in the army."
Li Wuya: "If you can't rise even if you have military merit, then brother, you and dad should leave as soon as possible."
Li Sanlang: "It's not that easy. Our family is a military household. Unless the war between Dachu and Beiyan is settled, my father and I will have to stay at Dieling Pass."
Li Wuya rubbed her chin and fell silent. She and her cheap apprentice corresponded every month, so they should have developed a relationship between master and apprentice. Now, if she asks him to help change the household registration of the Li family's military household, he should agree, right?
Whatever he wanted to do, he did it. After returning from Dieling Pass, Li Wuya wrote a letter to his cheap apprentice. He didn't mention the Li family directly, but tentatively asked him if he could help change his military household registration.
Before the cheap disciple could reply, something happened to Li Sanlang.
...
Li Sanlang was spotted by an eighth-level master from Beiyan on the battlefield, and was even given a kill order!
It was strange enough that a small soldier was targeted by an eighth-level master, but what was even more strange was that Li Sanlang actually escaped from the eighth-level master.
Even though he was beaten with blood all over his body, he still shocked the entire Dieling Pass!
"What? You said that Li Sanlang had killed an eighth-grade master of Beiyan before?"
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. Many people know this. Otherwise, why would the Huyan family be targeting him?"
As the Huyan family of Beiyan targeted Li Sanlang, the story of the hijacking of the Tianlingtun Station five years ago was revealed. It was talked about by the soldiers at Dieling Pass, and even Zhuang Yutang was alarmed.
"That boy was at Dielingguan back then?" Zhuang Yutang was a little surprised.
Deputy General Xu Chengkun nodded and explained the situation of Li Sanlang and Li Changsen in detail.
Hearing that both Li Changsen and his son were very good at martial arts, Zhuang Yutang raised his eyebrows: "I remember when I met that kid, he didn't know much about martial arts, right? We haven't seen him for five years, and he can fight against an eighth-level master face to face.
, has grown so much?”
Xu Chengkun was also very confused: "Is that kid a natural martial arts wizard?"
"The general has investigated and found out that his father studied for two or three years with a veteran who knew a little martial arts. But now, with Li Changsen's martial arts, none of his subordinates dare to say that he can beat him."
Zhuang Yutang looked at Xu Chengkun in confusion. This guy was a peak seventh-level master and was always conceited. He could say this, which shows that Li Changsen's kung fu should indeed be good.
Later, Zhuang Yutang went to the martial arts field and sent his own soldiers to personally test the kung fu skills of the Li family and his son.
"Father and son are both capable. The younger's martial arts is between the seventh and eighth grades, and the elder's martial arts is definitely above the eighth grade."
Zhuang Yutang narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Changsen who was fighting against the eighth-grade soldiers on the ring.
His personal soldiers were carefully selected by his family. Even if he met a ninth-grade master, even with Zhou Xuan's strength, Li Changsen actually fought on a par with him!
"It seems there is no need for us to intervene!"
"Although the Huyan family is quite powerful in the Northern Yan Army, they can still send eighth-grade masters to deal with the Li family and his son."
"Eighth-level masters...the Li family and his son can solve it themselves."
Originally, he wanted to see if Li Sanlang had helped him a lot five years ago and see if he would be transferred to be responsible for logistics. However, after knowing the skills of the Li family and his son, Zhuang Yutang felt that he should not let others miss his future.
...
Li Erya and the others, who came to deliver medicine and food to Li Changsen and Li Sanlang, all changed their faces when they found out about this.
Li Wuya is the most irritated. The battlefield is extremely dangerous. Although her brother's kung fu is not bad, there are always people watching in the dark. If he is slightly negligent, he will be in danger. This makes people nervous all the time. Iron Man will also
Unbearable.
"This isn't over yet!"
Li Wuya's face looked a little gloomy, no, she had to do something.
Thinking of the Beiyan spy in Xining City, Li Wuya's eyes flashed and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Huh, Huyan's family, right? Wait for her!
Since she came to this world, she has always been peaceful and contented, and has never taken the initiative to find trouble. Now that some people don't let her live peacefully, she has to show off to those people.
The next day after returning home, Li Wuya took Li Qilang to Xining City.
Under the exploration of spiritual power, the two soon found a secret contact point of the Beiyan people, a blacksmith shop!
"Shichiro, haven't you always wanted to try your own skills? Go ahead and practice with those people."
Although Li Qilang's eyes were eager to try, his steps did not move: "Fifth sister, am I alone?"
Li Wuya glanced at him: "If I take action, do you think you still have a chance to do it?"
Li Qilang choked and didn't want to speak anymore.
Li Wuya added: "They are spies, be careful they commit suicide."
Li Qilang nodded, stopped fussing, walked into the blacksmith shop with an uneasy and nervous mood, and closed the door at lightning speed.
Li Wuya stood in front of the door with his hands folded, listening to the constant humming coming from the shop.
The identities of Beiyan spies cannot be exposed, so even if they are attacked, those people dare not make too much noise.
This is very convenient for Li Wuya and Li Qilang.
It wasn't until there was no movement in the blacksmith shop that Li Wuya walked in.
In the shop, three Beiyan spies were beaten with black noses and swollen faces by Li Qilang. They were tied up and hung under the beam. Li Wuya glanced at the three people and said to Li Qilang:
"Qilang, ask them about the situation of the Huyan family."
Li Qilang was a little confused: "How to ask?"
Li Wuya looked at the forge in the shop and said casually: "You can ask whatever you want, as long as you can ask in words."
Li Qilang scratched the back of his head, was silent for a while, and then went to the backyard. Soon, he came in with a plate of earthworms.
Li Wuya glanced at the earthworms crawling around, quickly looked away, picked up a box of mung bean-sized iron beads placed in front of the iron stove, and fled out of the shop.
About half an hour later, after Li Wuya finished a bowl of braised noodles at a street noodle shop, Li Qilang proudly walked out of the iron shop with his hands behind his back.
"Fifth sister, I asked."
"The Huyan family is a family of military generals in Beiyan. There are many masters in the family, including those in the ninth grade."
"The two people we killed at the inn before were direct descendants of the Huyan family. After we found out that it was my brother who killed them, we have been looking for opportunities to kill him."
"The love of the Huyan family is active in Rongcheng, with several strongholds."
Li Wuya listened silently without saying anything. She ordered a bowl of noodles for Li Qilang and asked him to eat first.
Li Qilang asked while eating: "By the way, sister, what should we do with those three people?"
Li Wuya didn't say anything. He took out an iron bead and flicked it toward the iron shop door with a whoosh.
"boom!"
The door of the iron shop was opened, and when they saw the three people hanging inside, the people around them immediately gathered around. Not long after, patrolling officers and soldiers came over.
Watching the officers and soldiers take the man away, Li Wuya waited for Li Qilang to finish eating the noodles, and then took him to the next Beiyan contact point.
In this way, Li Wuya searched street by street. It took him half a month to find all Beiyan's contact points in Xining City, and asked a lot about the Huyan family. At the same time, he also
A lot of gold and silver was harvested.
During this time, the officers and soldiers patrolling the city became numb to arresting people.
When the news came out from the Yamen that those people were spies from Beiyan, the entire Xining City was in shock.
"Oh my God, there are so many Beiyan people hiding in our Xining City. It's too scary!"
"Don't you think what's more terrifying is the person who found the Beiyan people's lair? There are so many Beiyan people, and each of them is a master. How powerful do you think that person must be?"
Just when people were confused, in a private room on the second floor of an inn, Li Qilang was counting the silver and gold on the table with excitement, and his eyes were smiling until there was only a slit left.
Li Wuya stood in front of the window, silently listening to the discussions of passers-by on the street. After a while, he suddenly asked: "Qilang, you said we have done such a great thing, should we tell everyone?"
Li Qilang's expression paused: "Ah? Didn't you say you shouldn't attract too much attention? Otherwise, you won't be able to live a peaceful life in the future."
Li Wuya smiled: "As long as we don't use our real names, who will know it's us."
Speaking, he nodded affirmatively.
"We have eradicated so many Northern Bird's nests, which is a great achievement for both Xining City and Dachu. We must let them know about our existence."
"If you do good deeds, you must leave a name!"
Li Wuya clenched his chin and began to think: "It is said that people who travel in the world like to give themselves nicknames. I must also choose a resounding nickname."
Li Qilang thought for a while and felt that this was not a bad idea. He quickly approached Li Wuya and said, "Sister, what nickname do you want to use?"
Li Wuya is a sucker for naming, so when she was suddenly asked to give her a name, she really couldn't think of it: "It has to be domineering, and it has to be refreshing, so that you can imagine my unique temperament when you hear it...
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Suddenly, Li Wuya's eyes lit up: "I know what it's called?"
"what is it call?"
"White Moonlight!"
Li Qilang had a question in his head: "Bai Yueguang? Why don't I feel domineering at all?"
Li Wuya glanced at him: "Do you know what Bai Yueguang means?"
Li Qilang shook his head honestly: "I don't know."
Li Wuya: "Bai Yueguang means that a person is out of reach. No matter how much you admire him, you will never be able to possess him. He can only be buried in your heart forever."
Li Qilang: "Isn't this still not domineering?"
Li Wuya's almond-shaped eyes widened: "I'm a girl, what do I want to do to be domineering? Whenever someone mentions me, I feel admiration in my heart. However, it is as far away as the moon in the sky, just out of reach. This is nothing compared to
Is it good to be domineering?"
Li Qilang muttered: "You said you wanted to be domineering." After saying that, he looked at Li Wuya again, "Then what is my name?"
Li Wuya: "You think about it yourself."
Li Qilang thought for a moment: "You are White Moonlight, then I will be Black Moonlight."
Li Wuya was a little disgusted: "Black Moonlight? It sounds too unpleasant." After saying that, he looked Li Qilang up and down and said with a smile, "You might as well call me Black Lotus."
Don't tell me, her brother really looks a bit like a black lotus.
Li Qilang refused: "I am a man, how can I choose such a feminine nickname?"
Li Wuya: "The purpose of using nicknames is to confuse the public. Your name is Black Lotus. Who would have imagined that you are a man."
Li Qilang thought it made sense, but he couldn't think of anything good, so he agreed: "Okay, Black Lotus will be Black Lotus."
The nicknames of the two were decided so hastily!
The next day, a throwing knife was stuck on the gate of Xining City Yamen. There was a piece of paper stuck on the throwing knife, which read:
Bai Yueguang and Black Lotus visited Xining City. Because they really hated the Huyan family of Beiyan, they offered Beiyan spies as travel expenses!
Li Wuya did not forget that their target was the Huyan family. If the Huyan family dared to stare at her brother on the battlefield, she would force Beiyan to spy on him!
