The First Military God of the Border

It took a lot of time.

Lin Hui decisively sped up.

But Lin Hui hadn't taken more than a few steps when a voice came from the last carriage, a voice carrying a hint of authority:

"Thank you, young man."

Lin Hui turned his head and saw a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties step out of the carriage.

He was extremely tall and imposing, dressed in a long robe and holding a folding fan, looking like a scholar.

Lin Hui smiled at him and continued on his way.

The man who alighted from the carriage stood there, watching Lin Hui depart until he disappeared from sight, before asking the injured, bearded man, "Wang Ping, what do you think of this man?"

The bearded man clasped his hands and said, "Sir, this man is extremely skilled. I'm afraid even I in my prime might not be his match. Judging from the venison he's carrying, he seems to be a hunter, but I can't figure out how a hunter could have such skills. I'm afraid he's more than just a hunter."

"Sir, Linjiang County is a border area, so it's not surprising that it harbors a few powerful figures."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment: "Now is the time when we need manpower. Time waits for no one. If this person can be used by me, it can solve a lot of troubles."

"I see he went in the direction of the county town, probably to sell venison. So, when you get back, investigate carefully. If he's clean, invite him here, and I'll talk to him personally."

Wang Ping nodded, then dragged his injured body onto the carriage.

The whip cracked.

"drive……."

The carriage sped off ahead.

All that remained were corpses scattered on the ground and vultures that had been circling around impatiently.

This place is Linjiang County, which belongs to Linzhou. Linzhou has eleven counties, and Linjiang County is one of them.

It's not a large county on the border, and the population is not large either.

However, because it was close to the Northern Barbarians, Linjiang County was one of the trading towns between the Empire and the Barbarians when there was no war. Therefore, Linjiang County was much more prosperous than other border towns.

However, such a prosperous market has not existed in the past two years.

Since the empire went to war with the Northern Barbarians, merchants have almost disappeared from the border, so Linjiang County has long lost its former prosperity.

Lin Hui carried the venison into the city, walking on the stone-paved streets, pondering where he should sell it.

The first choice would definitely be a large restaurant.

After all, ordinary people simply can't afford delicacies like venison.

Even city dwellers can't afford such a delicacy as venison; only high-end restaurants buy this top-quality ingredient.

However, this was Lin Hui's first time entering a city since coming into this world, and he knew absolutely nothing about the county town.

She thought about asking someone about the situation.

There are errand boys in the city who run errands, and Lin Hui plans to hire them.

Just as Lin Hui was searching, he saw a sudden commotion not far ahead. Everything had been fine just moments before, but the commotion started in an instant.

Lin Hui looked in the direction of the commotion and saw that it was a carriage whose horses had gone out of control.

Even though the coachman tried his best to control the horse, it was unusually agitated and completely out of control.

The startled horses frightened the people on the street, who scattered in all directions, some of them screaming in alarm.

The carriage was speeding through the street, smashing several stalls. Just as it was about to crash into a shop on the side of the street, a beautiful figure was thrown out as the carriage tilted over.

Lin Hui saw this and, just as the beautiful figure was about to fall to the ground, he rushed forward and caught her as quickly as possible.

But as soon as Lin Hui caught it, he immediately realized something was wrong, because the person he caught was far too soft.

Of course, besides that softness that drives men crazy, the faint fragrance is even more captivating, going straight to the top of Lin Hui's head.

Without a second thought, Lin Hui caught a woman.

However, they were probably frightened by the overturning of the carriage.

When Lin Hui caught the woman, she grabbed something in her haste, but she didn't seem to realize it.

Instead, it was as if they had found a peerless hero.

It wrapped around Lin Hui like an octopus, and the peak pressed down on Lin Hui's face.

For Lin Hui, this should be the moment every man dreams of.

But…….

For Lin Hui, this benefit came at the worst possible time. His entire face was completely enveloped by the enormous chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Let me go... let me go... I can't breathe... it's too big, it's crushing me..."

Lin Hui was speaking incoherently.

"Ah...I...oh...I..."

Upon hearing this, the woman quickly released her grip, and Lin Hui was then able to see her clearly.

She was a young married woman; you could tell at a glance by her hair. Her hair was tied up, with a simple hairpin inserted in her bun.

She had a beautiful face and a large chest, but she gave off a sickly feeling. Perhaps because she was surprised, her face was bloodless and pale.

Because the carriage went out of control, she scraped her forehead, and a faint trace of blood seeped out.

However, she didn't seem to notice, nor did she cry out in pain like most women. Instead, she calmly exchanged a glance with Lin Hui.

Lin Hui could tell from her eyes that this woman was no ordinary person; she concealed her emotions so well that her eyes were clear as if nothing had happened.

"Madam...Madam...Are you alright?"

A maidservant scrambled up from behind, her face pale with fright. She peered at the overturned carriage and peered inside, searching for her mistress.

"Put me down..."

The woman was brought to her senses by the maid's calls, and only then did she realize that she was being held by Lin Hui.

Lin Hui nodded and put the woman down.

The woman straightened her clothes and called out to the panicked maid in the distance, "Xiao Wan, I'm here."

Upon hearing this, the maid named Xiaowan hurriedly ran over.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his wife was alright, but when he saw the wound on her forehead, tears streamed down his face again.

The woman chuckled, reached out and patted the little maid's head, comforting her, "Don't cry, it's just a scraped skin, it's nothing serious."

"Madam, you're bleeding. I'll go find a doctor right now."

The lady reached out to stop Xiao Wan: "It's alright, just apply some medicine when we get back."

"Yes, madam, but madam, why is the horse running away for no reason?"

While the two were talking, Lin Hui was not idle, because he noticed something unusual about the horse.

The horse had just been startled and charged wildly; now it was lying down, its lips turning purple, as if it had been poisoned.

To an ordinary person, it would certainly look like the horse was exhausted.

However, Lin Hui, a top soldier, immediately saw the problem.

It's definitely poisoning.

Just then, the woman gently patted Lin Hui on the back: "Brother, I will never forget your life-saving grace."

"May I ask your honorable name, brother?"

"It's nothing."

Lin Hui waved his hand casually: "We can't just stand by and watch someone die, Madam, you don't need to worry about it."

Lin Hui picked up his venison from the corner again and turned to leave.

But upon seeing the venison, the woman suddenly exclaimed, "Hey... young man... wait a minute..."
