Chapter 316 Assassination
When they returned to the Xiao residence, it was deep into the night. Du Xiuyuan and others had to support him, and despite General Lin's self-proclaimed resilience, he couldn't withstand the intense beating. His back was covered with countless wounds, with bloodstains barely visible on the clothes. Even the soldiers, accustomed to the sight of battles, were inwardly shocked. Old Hu was indeed a straightforward man.
When soldiers fought, they followed a straightforward path until the end, admitting defeat without any further argument. Originally, there were thousands of soldiers under Su Mubai. Today, having personally witnessed General Lin's loyalty and righteousness, they all admired him secretly, and even shook hands with him. Despite enduring a beating, General Lin managed to win over the hearts of the people, and his prestige in the army escalated, an outcome that Du Xiuyuan and the others hadn't anticipated.
Hu Bugui was also covered in wounds, but he was a hardened veteran, having endured countless battles. Unlike the young, dark-skinned General Lin, he could withstand the blows. After enduring the beating and drinking strong liquor with everyone, Hu Bugui fell asleep on the ground, completely ignoring the many wounds on his back.
‘This big bearded man, no matter how much I disapprove of him, I must admit his toughness.’ General Lin in his white robe, threw his cloak and feathered fan, thinking helplessly.
As they helped General Lin to the entrance of the shop, they saw a small sedan hurrying from a distance. Before it got close, they heard a woman's anxious voice from inside, "Stop, stop quickly."
The sedan stopped abruptly, and a woman flew out of it, looking at Lin San who was being supported by others. She was first stunned, then involuntarily her eyes reddened, and tears began to fall, "What happened to you?"
Lin Wanrong grinned, "It's nothing, I accidentally fell from a horse today. It will be fine tomorrow."
"You and your lies," the woman wiped her tears, rushed over and looked at him, biting her lip and weeping, "Do you think everyone else is a fool?" The Eldest Miss moved closer to Lin San. When she saw the chaotic whip marks on his back, her heart jumped with fright. She covered her mouth with her hand and her tears fell faster.
