The Government Assigns A Daughter-In-Law, Which Needs To Be Chosen?

Chapter 49: Iron Leg Drifting on Water and the Desire to Kill

This trip to visit relatives can be said to have been a complete success.

Not only did it resolve the issues with my wife's family, fulfill my wife's wishes, but I also gained a follower with great potential.

In this barbaric era, one cannot survive without some strength for self-defense.

When leaving, Lin Fan invited his wife's family to stay with him for a while and have some fun. However, his invitation was politely declined.

It was clear that they didn't want to trouble him and didn't want Su Xiaoxiao to be looked down upon.

The Su family was poor, but they had their pride.

As for the 500 taels of dowry given by the eldest uncle, Lin Fan also refused it. He didn't need these things and instead had his wife put it back for the other party to rest assured and recover.

With that done, they began their journey back.

The journey back was very smooth.

Although there were some waves along the way, they were easily resolved by the newly joined Su Erhu.

Among them, the encounter with a group of hungry wolves was the most memorable. Before they could attack, Su Erhu, who was comparable to an archery god, used his abundant hunting experience to find the wolf king and shoot it with an arrow, resolving the situation.

It must be said that he was a reliable bodyguard.

"You don't need to call me 'Master' anymore. Just call me Fan Ge, like Er Xiao does. I plan to form a bodyguard team, and I want you to be the leader," Lin Fan, who was not stingy, decided to officially accept him since he didn't disappoint him.

Not only did he change the way he was addressed to show closeness, but he also directly promoted him.

Su Erhu didn't expect to be promoted before even arriving home, and to be the leader of the bodyguard team representing closeness.

This moment made him ecstatic, feeling the urge to die for his comrade.

"Thank you, Big... Fan Ge!" Su Erhu said excitedly.

"Well, work hard. I have high hopes for you," Lin Fan smiled and patted his shoulder. Su Erhu's loyalty was unquestionable, and he was also Su Xiaoxiao's cousin. The relationship between the two families was quite close.

In feudal times, family relationships were quite reliable.

That's why many ancient famous generals appointed their relatives to high positions.

Just like Boss Cao.

Although he had many generals, those who truly held power were from his own family.

After all, in an era where morality was paramount, betraying one's relatives was much worse than betraying outsiders. The whole family would be condemned.

Look at Lu Bu.

After betraying three adoptive fathers, he was called a slave of three surnames and left a lasting infamy.

It's not like the present era where moral decay is rampant.

Betraying one's relatives is the most common, and they are even more ruthless in taking their own family's money.

But even if they betray, they still live comfortably.

However, in Lin Fan's era, it was not a time of moral decay. With this blood relationship, Su Erhu was definitely more reliable than an outsider.

As long as he had the ability.

Lin Fan didn't mind taking him under his wing.

"I will definitely work hard!" Su Erhu nodded heavily and thumped his chest.

"Erhu Ge, my husband's safety will depend on you from now on. You can't be careless," Su Xiaoxiao spoke up at this moment, communicating as her cousin.

Su Erhu assured her once again, his chest thumping again.

"Cousin, you have to protect me too!" Wang Erxiao, who was driving the carriage, also smiled.

"Leave it to Brother Hu!" The familiar thumping sound resounded again. This was the sincere way of expressing oneself, simple and unadorned.

But Lin Fan didn't find it funny. Instead, he felt that people like this were reliable.

No pretentiousness.

Those who want to harm me will have to step over my dead body.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Fan rubbed his chin and had already decided that when they returned, he would train Su Erhu, the captain of the bodyguard team, well.

First, strengthen the body, then personally forge a strong bow for the opponent.

Max Level Blacksmithing Skill.

Not only can he forge swords and knives.

As long as it's a weapon, it's no problem for him, even hidden weapons are his specialty.

Conventional weapons like bows and arrows are child's play to him.

If he can equip Su Erhu with a semi-divine bow and arrow, the killing power will definitely skyrocket.

By then,

Even top experts can be shot down.

After all, it's difficult to deal with top experts, mostly because they are too fast and it's hard to lock on with a crossbow.

But Su Erhu is like an eagle eye, shooting moving targets is like child's play.

Three arrows fired together.

He can shoot down birds in the sky.

This is worth investing in.

·····

Spending most of the day.

The group finally returned to the mansion.

When they saw the huge and luxurious mansion, Su Erhu was dumbfounded.

He had already expected that the master he followed was a big shot and would live in a luxurious place.

But he didn't expect it to be so extravagant.

Just a mansion.

It's almost as big as his village.

Even the entire Su family village could fit in here, with a little squeezing.

"This...this is too big..." Su Erhu said dumbfoundedly.

Wang Erxiao, who came to see the mansion for the first time, had a similar reaction. Seeing the new companions, he laughed happily.

"Hu Ge, calm down. As long as we follow Brother Fan well, this is just a small trick." Wang Erxiao patted Su Erhu's shoulder, looking like a little adult.

Unfortunately, he was a bit short, so he had to jump to reach the shoulder, which looked a bit funny.

But Su Erhu didn't think so. Instead, he nodded in agreement, "What Erxiao said is right. From now on, Erhu must work hard to see a bigger world in the future!"

"Yes, yes." Wang Erxiao smiled at the words.

He had been close to Lin Fan since childhood and had vowed to help gather people's hearts instinctively, even though he didn't understand the big principles.

"Let's go in. We've been on the road for most of the day and we're hungry. Let's have a good meal first." Lin Fan didn't say much, waved his hand, and led the way into the mansion.

Eating is the real deal!

The old butler He Bo had received reports from the servants early on and welcomed his master first, instructing the kitchen to prepare food as quickly as possible to welcome his master and refresh him.

"Husband!" The two wives who stayed at home threw themselves into Lin Fan's arms at the first opportunity. Although it had been less than three days since they last saw each other, they missed him deeply.

"Haha! Do you miss your husband?" Lin Fan hugged the two wives and laughed heartily.

"We do miss you." The two wives blushed slightly and spoke in unison, expressing their longing.

"I miss you too!" Lin Fan also expressed his longing.

Then, under the care of the three wives, they began to eat, drink, wash, and sleep.

As for Wang Erxiao and the newly joined Su Erhu, they were personally arranged by the old butler to a large table with plenty of fish and meat, only slightly inferior to Lin Fan, the master.

Su Erhu could hunt himself, so he wasn't lacking in meat, but it was all randomly prepared. It couldn't compare to the dishes made by a professional chef. At this moment, he was eating with oil dripping from his mouth.

"Brother Fan is so good to us. I, Wang Erxiao, will definitely follow Brother Fan wholeheartedly!" Wang Erxiao swore while eating.

Su Erhu also swore, "I, Su Erhu, am the same. As long as Brother Fan is willing to use me, I will follow him wholeheartedly. Whoever dares to trouble Brother Fan, I will shoot them dead with one arrow!"

"Haha! Hu Ge, well said!" Wang Erxiao laughed heartily and continued to serve Su Erhu food and drink.

Lin Fan was having a pleasant time.

But the Si River Gang, who had had two "misunderstandings" with him, was not having such a pleasant time.

As the former gang leader, Tielui Shui Shangpiao, wanted to kill again today.
