Zhao Xun'er seemed to see through Lin Shan's heart and asked immediately.
Lin Shan, a smart person like him, would naturally not make a mistake on this issue and immediately shook his head in denial.
Zhao Xun'er gave Lin Shan a roll of his eyes and said, "I can guess it even if you don't tell me.
In fact, if it were me, I would feel unfair when I first hear this rule.
But if you analyze it from another aspect, you won’t think so.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Xun'er pointed to the city wall dyed red with blood and asked: "Tell me, what impressed you most in the battle against the beast tide last night?"
Lin Shan thought for a while, and the first thing that shocked him was naturally the beast tide. I believe that anyone who sees such a scene for the first time will be shocked, and it may even be engraved in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
But Zhao Xun'er obviously didn't ask about this, but asked him what impressed him most in this battle against the beast tide.
At this moment, Lin Shan's mind flashed to the flags of various companies fluttering in the wind, as well as Huangfu Qi, Zhao Xun'er and other people with noble status in the past. In this battle, they took the lead regardless of danger.
Gradually, he understood a little bit, and even felt ashamed for his childish thoughts just now.
"The three major families and the Huangfu family made the greatest contributions and sacrificed the most in last night's battle. You should have this privilege."
Lin Shan said sincerely.
Zhao Xun'er took a long breath and said: "On this city wall, in the past hundred years, our Zhao family has dedicated 399 lives, of which there are thirteen family heads. Although we do this to protect those behind us,
This is a family business, but for being able to make such a sacrifice, I think it should be respected."
"Without our sacrifice and protection, Kuixing City would have been destroyed long ago. Where would the people in this city go?
It was our big families who gave them a place to live.
In addition, there is another number that may explain everything better."
"According to incomplete statistics, in the past hundred years, in addition to the 399 direct descendants of our Zhao family, we have also made huge sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of people, with thousands of people dying almost every year.
The Long family and the Tang family, which are three major families at the same time, are similar.
The Huangfu family has fewer, that’s because their family couldn’t bear this important responsibility before.”
"But now you have also seen that the Huangfu family is very desperate, and even the head of the family takes the lead.
Under the leadership of Huangfu Qi, the Huangfu family has made great contributions to the tide of beasts attacking the city in recent years, and this is the real reason why their family has gradually become as famous as our three major families."
After hearing these words, Lin Shan suddenly understood.
The three major families and Huangfu Qi are indeed qualified to enjoy privileges.
They have made great sacrifices and deserve special care.
As Zhao Xun'er said, without the coordinated response of the three major families and the Huangfu family, Kuixing City would have been destroyed long ago.
At the same time, Lin Shan also understood that this kind of sacrifice was not only to protect his homeland, but also a kind of capital, the capital of a superior.
Just like the Huangfu family, they need this kind of capital and need to be recognized by everyone.
Although his motives were somewhat impure, what he did was equally admirable.
This is a real honor, earned with life and blood! "Lin Shan, I know that you are a person who advocates equality and freedom at heart, but what I want to tell you is that in order to get fairness, you must first make sacrifices."
After Zhao Xun'er finished speaking, he continued to clean the battlefield.
Lin Shan thought about this sentence for a while and felt that it benefited a lot.
The beast tide receded, leaving a mess behind. It would take several days just to clean up the battlefield.
Naturally, Zhao Xun'er would not stay here forever. After a rough search, he took Lin Shan back to the Zhao Mansion, leaving Cha'er here to take charge of the overall planning.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Zhao Xun'er walked into the hall and said hello.
"The little man Lin Shan pays homage to the master and his wife."
Lin Shan also hurried to greet him.
Zhao Zhengyi, who had not been seen for many days and was said to be in seclusion, finally showed up. However, at a glance, Lin Shan felt that Zhao Zhengyi had something wrong with his face and looked like he was injured.
"Just come back.
Xun'er, you performed well this time and did not ruin the reputation of our Zhao family."
Zhao Zhengyi praised with satisfaction.
Zhao Xun'er smiled and said, "Compared to my brothers, I'm still a little behind."
"You're a smart little guy, and you know how to be humble."
Zhao Zhengyi smiled, but suddenly he coughed.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Zhao Xun'er's expression suddenly tightened and she walked over.
Zhao Zhengyi waved his hand, coughed twice, and then he felt better. Then he looked at Lin Shan and said: "Lin Shan, your performance this time is also very good. Although your cultivation is not enough, you are brave and fearless, from beginning to end.
Following Xun'er, he never gave up.
You have blocked danger for Xun'er many times in critical moments. Your heroic spirit of protecting the Lord is worthy of praise!"
"Thank you very much, Master, for the compliment. I don't deserve it. I'm just doing my duty."
Lin Shan bowed and thanked him.
"What a good person to do your duty! If everyone, my descendant of the Zhao family, does their duty like you, why worry about not being strong?"
Zhao Zhengyi was very happy and satisfied. He encouraged Lin Shan a few words, and then continued: "Lin Shan, from today on, you will be promoted to the manager of the outer courtyard of Zhao Mansion. You will obey the leadership of Manager Yan Song and you can also report directly to me.
In addition, in view of your bravery yesterday, I decided to reward you with one hundred thousand star coins as a reward, and I also hope that others can learn more from Lin Shan."
"Thank you so much for your love, my master! I will definitely keep up the good work and live up to my master's expectations."
At this time, there is no reason to refuse, so I bow my head and thank you immediately.
"Okay, okay, get up."
After Zhao Zhengyi rewarded Lin Shan in front of everyone, he said to Zhao Xun'er: "You were tired last night. You should go down and rest first. If you have any questions, we can talk about it after you have rested."
"yes."
Everyone said goodbye one by one.
But when only Zhao Zhengyi and his wife were left in the hall, he suddenly covered his chest and groaned. Then, a mouthful of black blood spurted out, and a foul smell came out.
"master!"
Zhao Zhengyi looked pale, waved his hand and said: "Don't make any noise, help me back to the secret room quickly."
Although Lin Shan was a little confused about Zhao Zhengyi's situation, he was definitely unaware of it. He was now complacent about his new reward.
One hundred thousand star coins is not too much, but not too much. It can at least buy a mid-range house in a wealthy area.
And with his newly obtained status as the steward of the outer courtyard of the Zhao Mansion, he can also buy a house in the floating city, but one hundred thousand star coins is not enough, and he can only buy a small residence at most.
Compared with 100,000 star coins, the identity of the Zhao Mansion's outer courtyard manager is much more important.
Although he still has to obey Yan Song's leadership, he has the right to report directly to Zhao Zhengyi. With this status, Yan Song does not dare to attack him easily. It can be said that this status comes too timely, which is equivalent to giving him
He has taken an insurance policy, and at least for now, he is safe.
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events happen. With this new identity, Lin Shan no longer had to worry, so he happily hummed a tune.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him, which instantly dissipated his good mood: "Manager Lin, the third master has invited me."
