Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 133 Lord Jiang is as frugal as Jin Jiang

Wu Garden.

Lin Chen saw Master Zhao off.

From Master Zhao, he finally knew what had happened outside in the past few days.

A few days ago, the director recommended himself to the Military Affairs Department as a model for Jiangnan Dao students, but was suppressed by the Military Affairs Department.

The next day, Hongdu Prefecture also recommended a student.

The next day, Wenzhou Prefecture also recommended a student.

There are a total of seven prefectures in the entire Jiangnan Road. Except for the director of Quzhou Prefecture who supports him, the other prefectures are either silent or opposed.

"Are you a little discouraged?"

Yan Hean's figure appeared behind Lin Chen at some point.

"I am not discouraged. If someone objects, it means I haven't done enough."

Lin Chen smiled. It was certainly a good thing to be selected as a model student of Jiangnan Dao, but he would not be too disappointed if he was not selected.

Having come this far, he has already shown his potential and talent, and the head of the Military Affairs Department has also said that special training will be the last motivation that the Military Affairs Department will give to these students.

Being a model student of Jiangnan Taoism has its advantages, but I am afraid it is more of a means of creating a golden image for oneself.

He was rated as a model student in Jiangnan Dao. Any force in Jiangnan Dao that wanted to deal with him would be wary of this.

"Now, except for Quzhou Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture, the other five prefectures have all recommended students to compete for the role model of Jiangnan Dao students."

The model student of Jiangnan Dao is not one that appears every year.

The last person to be named a model was ten years ago.

Yan Hean knew very well that two of the five prefectures were out to disrupt the situation. Apart from Lin Chen, the only ones who were truly qualified to compete were Li Zhe from Hongdu Prefecture and Song Yueqiao from Wenzhou Prefecture.

He even knew clearly that the reason why the Wu Zheng Hall suppressed Raozhou Prefecture's recommendation of Lin Chen was because of the Huo family's involvement.

However, there is no need to tell Lin Chen about these things for the time being.

He wrote a letter to Elder Zhao about these things, and Elder Zhao's reply contained only one sentence: in the face of absolute martial arts strength and talent, any conspiracy or trickery is useless.

"Master Lin will be having special training soon. I guess he won't be able to come to Wuyuan for a while. Master Lin, please take this Thousand Hammers Diagram with you."

"Senior Yan, this is too precious."

Lin Chen was shocked when he saw the Thousand Hammers Diagram in Yan Hean's hand.

The Thousand Hammers Diagram is definitely a martial arts treasure, especially for martial artists who practice horizontal kung fu, it is truly priceless.

"A treasure is given to a hero. The Thousand Hammers Diagram will just gather dust if it is placed in the Martial Garden. Only when Master Lin takes it can the Thousand Hammers Diagram be used. However, this Thousand Hammers Diagram is only loaned to Master Lin temporarily. After Master Lin's special training, it needs to be returned."

Lin Chen groaned for a moment, then clasped his fists and said solemnly, "I thank you for lending me the map."

Yan Hean handed the Thousand Hammers Diagram to Lin Chen and said, "The Thousand Hammers Diagram is a piece of paper forged from a special material. It is impervious to water and fire, and is extremely difficult to tear. Master Lin can carry it with him."

"Junior understands."

"There are people from the Wuzheng Office at the entrance of Wuyuan. I think they are here to invite Master Lin. I won't waste Master Lin's time."

Yan Hean came to Lin Chen's yard because people from the Wuzheng Office came to Wuyuan. Lord Su invited Lin Chen to go to the Wuzheng Office, and he came specifically to inform Lin Chen.

Lin Chen apologized, said goodbye to Yan Hean, and walked towards the entrance of Wu Garden.

"Mr. Lin, remember one thing. The road of martial arts ultimately depends on your own strength. A temporary disadvantage is nothing. There is still a long way to go!"

When Lin Chen's figure was about to disappear around the corner of the corridor, Yan Hean finally couldn't help but give a reminder.

The Huo family is responsible, Lin Chen will know about this in the future.

Since the Huo family is standing on the opposite side of Lin Chen, it is very likely that they have a backup plan. Before Lin Chen grows into a strong man, he will not be a match for the Huo family.

But Lin Chen is not without help. Behind him stands the Poyang Wuzheng Office and the Wuzheng Department. The Huo family does not dare to target Lin Chen blatantly, not to mention that Lin Chen is now a key investigation target of Wuyuan. As long as Lin Chen can endure it, the Huo family can't do anything to Lin Chen.

The fear is that the young man is full of vigor and cannot stand any grievance, and finally falls into the Huo family's conspiracy.

Lin Chen paused. Senior Yan's words had a hidden meaning. It seemed that Senior Yan knew some inside information, which was related to the dispute over the model student of Jiangnan Dao?
"Thank you very much, Senior Yan, for your advice. I will definitely keep it in mind."

……

……

Martial Arts Office.

When Lin Chen arrived, he found that in addition to Lord Su, there was another man with eagle eyes.

The man's eyes were sharp, and the moment he stepped into the lobby, his gaze fell on him, giving him great pressure.

He is another powerful warrior who has entered the upper rank, and it is very likely that his strength is even greater than that of Lord Su.

Eighth grade?
"Are you Lin Chen, a student from Linhu Village, Kaohe Town, Poyang County, Raozhou Prefecture?"

The eagle-eyed man didn't wait for Lin Chen to salute, he spoke directly and asked harshly.

"Yes!"

"You first came into contact with the Qingfeng Palm at the end of November in the 298th year of the Daliang calendar, and then you perfected the Qingfeng Palm at the beginning of March in the 299th year. Is this true?"

"true."

"If you tell a lie, you will be executed immediately!"

The eagle-eyed man's last words were filled with murderous intent, and Lin Chen felt as if he was falling into a cold cave.

"I have never lied."

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

The eagle-eyed man's aura subsided, and a smile reappeared on his face: "Sir Su, this is my duty, I hope you will forgive me."

"I understand."

Whether Su Lingchuan really understood or not, only he knew it, but he would not express dissatisfaction on the surface, nor would he question whether the other party's questioning was a sign of distrust of the Military Administration. "In accordance with the Emperor Taizu's oral instructions, the Military Administration Department wants to cultivate students with potential, and the Jiangnan Road Military Administration Department has set up a special genius rule. If you meet the requirements, you will immediately go to the special training site with me."

immediately?

Lin Chen didn't expect the other party to be so fast and not give him time to pack his luggage?
"Lord Jiang, can you give me some time to explain some things to Lin Chen?"

Su Lingchuan also frowned, but soon relaxed his brows and spoke to the eagle-eyed man.

"Master Su, this is the rule set by the Director. Once you pick up the students, you must leave immediately and not stay. This is my duty. I hope Master Su understands."

Jiang Kui refused, but continued the next moment: "It is my duty, I hope Lord Su understands."

Su Lingchuan didn't expect the other party to be so disrespectful. He originally had nothing to explain to Lin Chen, and he had already said everything he needed to say.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Qifeng would go to Lin Chen privately and tell him that the Wuzheng Hall had suppressed the teacher's recommendation of Lin Chen. He was afraid that Lin Chen would think too much, so he prepared to say a few words of comfort.

"Lin Chen, you will follow Lord Jiang to participate in the special training. You must know that this special training is not easy to come by. You must cherish this opportunity."

"The disciple understands."

Lin Chen nodded heavily. Jiang Kui was not so unkind as to not let Su Lingchuan and Lin Chen say a word. After Su Lingchuan had said a few words, he interrupted and said, "Sir Su, I'm leaving."

"I'll see you off, Lord Jiang."

Su Lingchuan personally sent Jiang Kui and Lin Chen to the gate of the Wuzheng Office, where two large chestnut horses were parked. Jiang Kui mounted the horse, clasped his fists towards Su Lingchuan, and then whipped the horsewhip.

Seeing this, Lin Chen had to mount his horse as well and clasped his fists towards Su Lingchen: "Sir, I'm leaving."

……

……

The two men rode on two horses and went out of the city gate, galloping all the way.

In just half an hour, they arrived at the Poyang Lake. Lin Chen was amazed at the speed of the horse under him. This horse was probably not an ordinary horse.

There is a cruise ship parked by the lake.

Jiang Kui remained silent. After taking Lin Chen aboard, he spoke: "Rest in the cabin for a while. I will notify you when we get to the destination."

Lin Chen nodded and walked into the cabin, only to find that there were no windows on both sides of the cabin. It was just an enclosed wooden house.

Is this because he doesn't want me to know the route to the special training ground?

Jiang Kui did not enter the cabin, but stood on the deck. The cruise ship was moving on the lake as fast as an arrow, but extremely stable.

Soon, the cruise ship entered the misty area of Poyang Lake.

"Who is coming?"

"Jiang Kui from the Military Affairs Department."

In the cabin, Lin Chen, who had been sitting quietly, heard the conversation outside the cabin and listened attentively.

"Master Jiang, please wait a moment."

This voice seems familiar?

Lin Chen listened to the conversation with Lord Jiang, thought for a moment, and immediately recognized the owner of the voice. It was Lord Lu who brought him to the military camp.

On the deck, Jiang Kui frowned. In the past, when he took the trainees to the special training site, Poyang Guards would let them go directly. Why did he have to wait today?
After a cup of tea, Lin Chen heard a familiar voice again.

"Master Jiang, is the person on board the ship Lin Chen, a student of the Poyang County Martial Arts School?"

Master Fang's voice.

Lin Chen didn't expect that Lord Fang would also come.

Jiang Kui looked at Fang Ze and said in a deep voice: "Master Fang, you should know the rules."

"Master Jiang, please don't misunderstand me. I know the rules. A few days ago, Lin Chen helped my Poyang Guards kill a snake demon. I reported the matter to the commander-in-chief, who commended me. But as soon as I arrived in Poyang County, I learned that Lin Chen had been picked up by Master Jiang. That's why I sent a pigeon to inform my subordinates to ask Master Jiang to wait."

Fang Ze was just talking nonsense, he had never been to Poyang County, but he knew that the special training site of the Jiangnan Road Wuzheng Hall had to pass through the territory under the jurisdiction of Poyang Guard. He asked his men to watch the route in advance and notify him immediately if they found anyone from the Wuzheng Hall.

When Jiang Kui heard Fang Ze mention the commander-in-chief of Poyang Guard, he fell silent. He was even more surprised. This Lin Chen actually killed a snake demon?
To be rewarded by the governor, it must be a snake demon of high rank.

An awakened warrior kills a high-level snake demon?

"I understand the rules of the Military Affairs Office. Lord Jiang, please give the reward from the governor to Lin Chen."

Fang Ze threw a package towards the boat, and Jiang Kui took it from a distance, which was considered as his acceptance.

"Let go!"

The soldiers on both sides made way for the waterway, and Fang Ze watched the ship leave with a smile.

"Sir, why do you say that the governor gave Lin Chen a reward? This was clearly prepared by you for Lin Chen." Lu Tongzhi asked in confusion as he watched the cruise ship sailing into the clouds.

"I am only a general flag officer, so Lord Jiang may not take me seriously. But it is different if I am promoted to Lord Commander. Although I have never been to the special training ground of the Military Administration Department, I have seen the Military Administration Department passing by this place several times. Most of the trainees stayed in the cabin, but there were one or two times when the trainees were able to stand on the deck... Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means that even in the eyes of the Military Affairs Office, these geniuses are divided into different levels. I am telling Lord Jiang that Lin Chen is not a person without a solid foundation. He was able to kill the snake demon and caught the attention of Lord Dutong."

“Sir, you really take good care of Lin Chen.”

"I just want to train a truly talented warrior for the military."

……

……

On the deck, Jiang Kui looked at the bag in his hand with a thoughtful look on his face. After pondering for a moment, he walked into the cabin.

"I have been taking you students for several days in a row, and I am a little tired. Before you, I have already sent seven students to the special training base. If you count the other colleagues, there will be 30 students from the entire Jiangnan Road entering the base this time."

Lin Chen was a little surprised when he heard Lord Jiang say so many words in one breath. He thought Lord Jiang was very frugal with words, but it seems that is not the case.

So what Lord Fang said just now worked?
"From what Lord Fang said just now, you have killed a snake demon?"
