?Chapter 275: Chapter 275 Shocking (6)_1 Chapter 275: Chapter 275 Shocking (6)_1 “Remember, no matter what happens, you must always look after yourself and your family first. Whatever outsiders say or do, you can ignore.” Lin Ziyin nodded in agreement.
Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan watched her earnestly instructing others, but they didn’t interrupt. Even so, everything Lin Ziyin did and said that day had profoundly shocked them.
Surviving in the Northern Land is not easy at all. If all the common people were as robust and unprejudiced as Lin Ziyin, life wouldn’t be as hard as it is. Moreover, they wouldn’t have to fear the Tatars’ harassments.
After all, when the Tatars invade, they usually scatter into small teams. If everyone could defend themselves, they could strike back at the Tatars.
“In the future, train diligently with them.” Chu Suifeng commanded coldly.
The soldiers who came over all acknowledged the order respectfully. Initially, they came with a dismissive attitude, thinking that a young peasant girl couldn’t have great ideas. However, the competition opened their eyes.
There are indeed always greater people out there!
“Those who won get two taels of silver, come and collect.” Si Jinhan kept his promise, and quickly had his followers prepare the silver.
Wu Dali and others who had won the silver were overjoyed, while the villagers looked on with envy. This competition indeed ignited most people’s passion for martial arts training.
The children who had witnessed the event were stunned and talked about it for many days.
After more than an hour, the villagers dispersed voluntarily. Some women went back to prepare breakfast, and then the whole family would start their work. Working for the Lin family was great as they had fixed working hours. According to what Lin Ziyin said, four hours of work per day was enough.
Such excellent conditions and such a good employer were hard to find not only in Feng City but also in the entire Daqin.
The villagers dispersed in small groups. Those who had won the silver were surrounded by villagers and treated like heroes.
“Ziyin.” Zige, along with Guo Huiniang, waited for Lin Ziyin to return. Wu Dali and the rest, whose faces were bruised, were chattering enthusiastically, presumably waiting for the siblings to return as well.
“You go home first, I’ll be there in a bit.” said Lin Ziyin.
Lin Zige glanced worriedly over at Chu Suifeng. Wu Dayou came over and called her away.
Once the training ground was left with only Chu Suifeng’s men and Lin Ziyin, Chu Suifeng finally spoke, “Choose a weapon, this prince will spar with you.”
Lin Ziyin looked at him without saying a word.
“This prince will not use inner strength.” Chu Suifeng added, “How about a stick, covered with white ash, for half an hour?”
Lin Ziyin understood his intentions and nodded in agreement. If she didn’t display genuine skills, Chu Suifeng would probably not be satisfied.
She also didn’t want to beat around the bush. If a fight was inevitable, then so be it. She certainly wasn’t afraid.
A soldier placed some lime around the training ground. Lin Ziyin took a stick from Si Jinhan and assumed a defensive stance.
Her pose seemed casual and laid-back.
“Prince, this girl’s too arrogant. Don’t hold back.” Si Jinhan watch from the sideline, adding fuel to the fire.
Chu Suifeng certainly wouldn’t hold back, aiming to gauge Lin Ziyin’s true ability. Upon seeing her defensive stance, he lifted his stick and made a diagonal strike. Lin Ziyin dodged swiftly, brushing aside the attack while simultaneously swinging her own stick towards Chu Suifeng’s lower body.
Not bad for a little girl! Si Jinhan watched with interest.
The soldiers watched with bated breath. If someone had previously told them that a young peasant girl could spar with the prince, they would have doubted their sanity. Who was the prince? The Prince of Ling was Asura of the Northern Land, and how many in the world could match him?
