Chapter 4 Separation is imminent
After a few days of searching, Lin Dao finally found all the medicinal materials to treat Zhang Zao. Then, Lin Dao followed Hua Tuo to Changshan City, a city north of Hongze.
Changshan City is located in the western border of the Northern Ming Dynasty. Because it is relatively close to Hongze, it is so sparsely populated. Although Changshan City is a big city, surrounded by high and thick walls, when Lin Dao entered the city, he found that there were only a few pedestrians on the streets of the city, and from their costumes, most of these people were the same as Lin Dao, just hurried passers-by, most of whom were mercenaries.
Some people say that human beings are naturally afraid of death. In fact, this is not accurate. Death, everyone is afraid, but there is a premise that if there is no choice, in order to survive, for a moment of carnival, in order to release a dazzling flash in the short life fragment, most human beings will still rush to death with a smile. Just like a moth on fire, they know that they will die, but they are keen on it, just for the sublimation of that moment - these people are mercenaries.
Lin Dao once worked as a half-baked mercenary. The experience of being with Dong Xi and Le Jin made Lin Dao understand a lot and more aware of the hardships of ordinary human life in this world. As most people know, mercenaries are like living on sharp knives. They will die at any time, maybe tomorrow or now.
Standing on the strange street of Changshan City and looking at the oncoming team of mercenaries, Lin Dao's face was filled with a bright smile. Because Lin Dao saw some familiar faces, some familiar smiles, and a familiar unbridled noise.
"Lin Dao!" In the mercenary group, a handsome elf familiar to Lin Dao came out more and more, and directly gave a big hug to Lin Dao, who also came forward. Needless to say, this elf handsome man is Lejin. After not seeing him for a while, Lin Dao found that Lejin's realm has been refined. Now he has entered the realm of generals. Judging from the energy fluctuation, he should have just upgraded, and he is still in a stable stage.
"Good boy, I haven't seen you for a while, and my strength has progressed a lot!" Dong Xi's bright laughter came from behind the crowd, and soon Dong Xi, who was half a man and half a horse, came out with a mace and unbridled laughter.
Everyone did not find that Hua Tuo behind Lin Dao also had a smile on his face when he heard Dong Xi's voice. Dong Xi's attention was on Lin Dao's body, and he did not carefully observe Zhang Ao and Hua Tuo behind Lin Dao.
He met Dong Xi again, but Lin Dao found that he could not see through Dong Xi even more. Through energy fluctuations, Lin Dao judged that Dong Xi's realm was similar to that of Le Jin, but Lin Dao vaguely felt that Dong Xi's strength must be more than that.
"Leader, your horse legs are stronger." Lin Dao stepped forward, and a gust of wind suddenly blew. He saw the huge mace in Dong Xi's hand smashed down against Lin Dao. Lin Dao's smile did not change. He did not retreat and move forward. He waved his fist to the mace with his right hand!
"Touch!" Dong Xi's mace was smashed by Lin Dao's punch!
"Good boy!" Dong Xi looked at Lin Dao with new eyes. After all, Lin Dao just used his physical body to fight against his mace. "I didn't expect your strength to be so refined! Come on, go to the Yingbin Building for a drink and tell everyone about your experience during this period.
"Okay. However, before that, let me introduce it to you. With that, Lin Dao half turned around. When he was about to introduce Hua Tuo, Dong Xi suddenly rushed to Hua Tuo with an arrow step, completely ignoring everyone's eyes. He bent four thick horse legs at Hua Tuo in a unique posture of a centaur and said loudly, "Apprentice, meet your teacher!"
Lin Dao was stunned. He never thought that Dong Xi was actually Hua Tuo's apprentice. So Dong Xi was Lin Dao's brother!
Hua Tuo stretched out his hand and gently lifted Dong's thick body up from the air. Hua Tuo looked at Dong Xi with a happy smile on his face and said, "Yes, the anger on his body has been dispersed. It's a pity that your murder is still too heavy. Otherwise, you won't have stopped here for so many years."
Dong Xi half lowered his head, and his eyes were a little red. Obviously, he was too excited.
"Master, the head of the regiment is also your apprentice?" Lin Dao flashed behind Hua Tuo like a gust of wind and asked softly.
"That's right. If it's lined up, he should be your second brother." Hua Tuo nodded with a smile.
"Oh, that's it." Lin Dao saluted Dong Xi with a smile, "Brother, meet the second brother. Hey hey, the second brother should take more care of the younger brother in the future."
Dong Xi was stunned and immediately woke up and said, "Master, aren't you going to accept disciples? You... Oh, the apprentice understand."
After saying that, Dong Xi looked at Lin Dao with burning eyes, as if he was going to swallow Lin Dao into his stomach.
"Hey, second brother! Don't look at people like this, and the master said that it is forbidden to fight with the same door. Don't worry, the master is not biased. Lin Dao put on a little fearful posture.
Dong Xi saw it and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha... Little brother, little brother, it seems that I, Dong Xi, don't have to wander around in the future!"
With that, Dong Xi turned around and suddenly shouted at the members of the Flying Wing Mercenary Regiment behind him: "Brothers, come and see my little brother again, and we will follow him in the future!"
"What?" Lin Dao was confused by Dong Xi's sudden move. He looked at Hua Tuo, and Hua Tuo nodded slightly to him. Then he looked at Dong Xi. The expression on Dong Xi's face was as bad as he was. This guy made it clear that he would eat and drink with Lin Dao in the future!
"Master, what's going on? Can you tell your good apprentice? Lin Dao all put on a pleading posture.
"This is related to the task assigned to you as a teacher. Please keep it. Among the many disciples, the second brother is the most straightforward." Obviously, Hua Tuo still appreciates Dong Xi very much.
Hua Tuo has mentioned the so-called task several times, but he has never explained it carefully. Hearing him mention it again, Lin Dao couldn't help frowning tightly. It seems that Hua Tuo's task is absolutely not easy to complete.
"Lin boy, we will hang out with you in the future." A burly man who Lin Dao could still recognize his face came over with a smile and patted Lin Dao on the shoulder heavily.
"Yes, it will definitely be more exciting to follow you as a butcher in the future than to be a mercenary." Another mercenary interrupted.
"No one is richer than you, the 'worst slave owner in history'. In the future, you will have to be full. It's best to have a girl to accompany you when you sleep, hey hey hey." When the man said this, the mercenaries all smiled. Although Lin Dao is used to this kind of smile, he still has a feeling of numbness in his scalp.
It seems that the Flying Wing Mercenary Corps already knows Lin Dao's true identity. The battle of Jiangxia made Lin Dao notorious and was named "the butcher" and "the most evil slave owner in history". Of course, Lin Dao never cares about reputation. Other people's gossip is at best a concrete manifestation of their envy and hatred.
When the mercenaries laughed unscrupulously, Le Jin pulled Lin Dao aside and whispered, "Lin Dao, are you really the Southern Pluto?"
Lin Dao looked at Le Jin, nodded and laughed, "I still have several princesses. Do you want to marry your giant elf sister to me?"
"Get out!" Le Jin laughed and scolded, but his face soon became solemn. "Tell me, is Aunt Sivana really Nanming? Does Nanming really have a world tree?"
Lin Dao was stunned at first. He didn't expect that Zhao Wuniang and Le Jin were relatives. Lin Dao patted Le Jin on the shoulder and said with a smile, "First of all, let me correct your statement. Nanming does have a divine tree, but it is not a world tree, but a paradise tree. It is located on Paradise Island in Nanming, and now Shivana is the Great Druid of Paradise Valley. Moreover, Shivana has abandoned the original name belonging to the elf. Her name is Zhao Wuniang now.
Le Jin was silent for a moment and stared at Lin and said, "If I follow you, will you let me go to Paradise Island?"
Lin Dao shook his head and said, "No."
"Hmm?" Le Jin was stunned, and he was surprised by Lin Dao's answer.
"I will let you become a general of Nanming, the commander-in-chief. At the same time, you are free to enter Paradise Island and meet your aunt. Hearing Le Jinken join Nanming, Lin Dao's heart was about to jump out. Although Lejin in this world has gone a lot with the five generals of Cao Wei, Lin Dao believes that Lejin in this world will never let him down. At the same time, Lin Dao also looked at Zhang's jaw behind him. The five sons will get two, and Lin Dao's heart is infinitely surging.
"Le Jin, see your lord." Lin Dao suddenly knelt down and saluted Lin Dao, which made the uneducated mercenaries confused.
This is the etiquette of Kyushu and the gift of allegiance. Once the ceremony is successful, then Lejin will be a trusted person of Lin Dao and driven by Lin Dao arbitrarily.
"Good! Good brother!" Lin Dao laughed loudly, then picked up Le Jin, took Le Jin to Zhang Ao, and introduced the two to each other.
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Zhang jaw, who is also my brother."
"Lord..." Zhang Ajiao didn't expect Lin Dao to say so, and he was infinitely moved in his heart. To be honest, he never thought that Lin Dao would say so. For a long time, in front of Yuan Xi, he is like a pig and a dog. For Yuan Xi, he and his people are tools to kill and can be discarded anytime and anywhere.
"Everyone is a bloody year, let those false gifts, respect and inferiority be the mother's death! You, Zhang Kui! You, Lejin! I will help Lin Dao fly thousands of miles and laugh proudly for nine days!"
I don't know if it's too excited or what my heart wants, Lin Dao released his inner ambition. With his release, an unprecedented aura also stretched out in an instant, and everyone present actually had an impulse to kneel down to Lin Dao. At this moment, in the face of Lin Dao, they can only look up, infinitely.
