SFS Chapter 327 Lin Long
Chapter 327 Lin Long
Qian Qian's mouth twitched when he heard this. [So that old man Lin Long discovered the treasure from the previous dynasty.]
[Not only did he not report it to my mother, but he also took it for himself. ]
[And use the money for the secret guard camp? ]
He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his forehead. [If I remember correctly, Lin Long is 82 years old this year? ]
[Yes,] the system is somewhat helpless, [the old man is already 82 years old, and due to health reasons, he has no offspring.]
[In his life, he was rescued from his relatives by your grandfather when he was 18 years old.]
[Basically, I only live for the Lin family and the Lin family's secret guard camp. ]
Qian Qian let out a deep breath, "I originally wanted to discuss with my mother whether it's time to let the old man retire."
【When you say this, ah. 】
The system patiently explained, [Lin Long was born with a defect and is a dwarf. ]
[He hadn’t grown since he was seven, and when he was twelve his mother finally gave up on him.]
[From then on, his mother treated him as a disgrace, and his father ignored him.]
[Although Lin Long's family is not extremely wealthy, they are also considered a well-off family.]
[But in his own home, he was bullied by the servants and had no dignity. ]
[The most terrifying thing is that his biological parents condoned such bullying.]
[When he was 18 years old, he was stripped naked by his own servant and thrown into the snow when he ran into your grandfather.]
[After being rescued by your grandfather, Lin Long has been staying with your grandfather. ]
[Although he is a dwarf, he has a talent for martial arts.]
Qian Qian curled his lips slightly, [When he was 25 years old, he gained the trust of his grandfather and joined the Lin family's secret guard camp. ]
[At the age of 40, he became the leader of the Dark Guard Battalion, and he has been in charge of the Dark Guard Battalion until now. ]
The system smiled, [Yes, so you can rest assured that Qian Qian is good to Lin Long. ]
[Lin Long's loyalty to the Lin family, your mother, and you is evident to all.]
[I know,] Qian Qian helplessly held his forehead, [Besides, what can I do to an eighty-year-old man?]
[Hehe,] The system smiled awkwardly, [But the Lin family's secret guard camp has changed a lot now, do you want to go and take a look?]
[Go,] Qian Qian raised his eyebrows, [Since I know there is a treasure in Wulong Mountain, of course I have to go and take a look.]
[The summer competition is coming up, I need to prepare a lot of silver. ]
Before setting off, Qianqian took out a lot of rewards from the space.
He ordered a few young secret guards to follow him, and pulled Erdan out of the space and headed towards Wulong Mountain.
As soon as I entered Wulong Mountain, I felt dizzy when I saw the tall and sturdy trees in front of me, as well as the thin white mist between the trees.
He frowned and closed his eyes, [Tongzi, something is not right here.]
[Yes, don’t underestimate these ordinary trees in the mountains. They are actually set up with formations.]
Qian Qian nodded and signaled the secret guard to go and inform the secret guard camp.
After a moment, an old man wearing a conical hat and coarse cloth clothes, no more than 1 meters tall, walked out of the fog with vigorous steps.
Before Qian Qian could open her mouth to say anything, the old man jumped up and punched her in the face.
"Roar!"
Erdan shouted angrily to warn, but Qianqian leaned back to avoid the punch.
Lin Long kicked out again at an incredible speed.
"Roar," Erdan quickly retreated, very dissatisfied, "Roar——"
A loud roar frightened the birds and beasts in the mountains and they fled in panic. Lin Long landed lightly on the ground.
Finally he raised his face with unnoticeable wrinkles, "Haha," he laughed twice and looked at Erdan with bright eyes, "This snow wolf is more powerful than your majesty."
Qian Qian curled her lips and gently rubbed Erdan's head. Erdan seemed to be enjoying his retirement in space these years.
In fact, its strength has become even stronger.
She pushed herself off Erdan's back with both hands and bowed to Lin Long, "Grandpa, you are still as healthy as ever."
Lin Long stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the former little princess, now Her Majesty the Empress, and nodded, "Thank you for your protection, Your Majesty."
Qian Qian often went to the Dark Guard Camp to reward red fruits, so although Lin Long was 82 years old, he was in good health.
But Qian Qian could still sense that he had a hidden illness, [Tongzi, is there still something wrong with the old man's health? ]
[Well,] the system is not very worried, [it's an old problem, all caused by injuries when I was young.]
[Those injuries have been with him for decades, and with your red fruits nourishing him over the years, his body is not a big problem.]
Qian Qian nodded, [What if he takes a bath with red fruit juice? ]
[That's even better,] the system said, [The old man is the backbone of the Dark Guard Battalion. Currently, there is no one who is particularly suitable to take over the old man's position.]
Qian Qian raised his eyebrows and followed Lin Long into Wulong Mountain.
Erdan followed the two of them bored, while Qianqian looked at the old man's head and thought for a moment.
"Old man, about the treasures of the previous dynasty in Wulong Mountain."
Lin Long did not even stop, "Your Majesty, I, an old man, discovered the treasure ten years ago, and have used it for the daily expenses of the Dark Guard Camp over the years."
He turned around and looked up at Qian Qian's eyes. "The old man didn't tell anyone about the treasures, and he knew he couldn't hide it from His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please punish me."
Lin Long was neither humble nor arrogant, and Qian Qian had expected this attitude.
She smiled bitterly, "Punish? How to punish?"
"You discovered the treasures, and you didn't use them for yourself," she looked up at the light white mist in front of her, "I can only punish you for concealing the truth."
"What's the point?"
"Besides, the Dark Guard Battalion has not yet found anyone who can replace the old man."
She paused.
Lin Long knelt in front of Qian Qian as if it had nothing to do with him, as if he would be happy with whatever decision the empress made.
Rubbing his temple, Qian Qian curled his lips and said, "I will punish you to serve the Dark Guard Battalion for another twenty years. During these twenty years, you must select a suitable successor."
Lin Long...
My shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably and my eyes felt sore.
After a long time, he kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Lord."
"Stand up," Qian Qian took a deep breath and felt relaxed all over, "Take me to see the treasures first. Hehe."
Lin Long...
She quietly looked up at His Majesty, and was really worried that his little empress was spending money recklessly.
But he knew that Her Majesty the Empress was very generous in giving rewards.
Without saying anything, but with anxiety in his eyes, he brought Qian Qian to a cave on the hillside of Wulong Mountain.
The system immediately spoke, [Qianqian, there seems to be a very strange tomb here.]
[Strange tomb? How strange is it?]
【And so on. And so on.】
The system ate the melon carefully, and after a while, it spoke excitedly, [In Qianqian’s cave, there is a tomb under the treasures. ]
【The graves are filled with wild sand.】
[Hehe,] The system sneered, [Those crazy sand bodies are well preserved, they will be resurrected in another three years.]
Money money...
[The ghost is still there, Tongzi, go in and burn all the raging sand. ]
[Okay,] the system was excited, [but besides the crazy sand, there are many treasures.]
[Those are the wealth that Kuangsha has accumulated in several small worlds over the past few decades.]
Qianqian raised his eyebrows, [Oh, thank you so much for sending me money from a thousand miles away. ]
He tried his best to suppress the upward curve of his mouth and ordered loudly, "Take the old man down to soak in this medicinal bath."
He gave the red juice to the dark guards and ordered, "Give the reward to the dark guard camp. I will meet up with them there later."
Lin Long...
