Chapter 2 - 002 - Qingyi Building
"Jiang Dali, this task isn't an easy one, so while you should try to capture, you are allowed to kill the target," said Xiong Ba, seated on a pear wood chair covered with tiger skin inside the spacious council hall of Black Wind Mountain Village, smoking a dry pipe and looking approvingly at Jiang Dali, who was as robust and fierce as a tiger or leopard.
He was now forty-six years old and hadn't engaged in combat for several years. His figure had also grown out of shape, and in the past two years, he had taken two more concubines, losing the fiery spirit he once had when he could stand alone with an axe to ambush armed escorts.
It just so happened that over these years, the emergence of Jiang Dali was like the timely arrival of a heaven-sent warrior, becoming the sharpest and swiftest knife in his hands, taking care of many difficult matters. Every so often, they could seize a convoy with minimal effort, which meant he no longer had to risk life and limb to reap fame and profit.
Therefore, he had only grown fonder of Jiang Dali, treating him almost like his own.
If it weren't for the recent concubines pleasing him greatly, he would have even considered rewarding this Third Master for his service.
