Chapter 229 228. Reward

"You don't seem to care about today's reward at all."

Sitting on the edge of the Ronin's longhouse, Madam Butterfly exhaled a puff of smoke, knocked the pot on her hand, and glanced at Lan En.

At this time, the witcher turned a deaf ear to the lively scene inside the house. He just sat on the bamboo in the wooden corridor of the long house and looked out boredly.

When he heard Butterfly's question, he asked back without looking back.

"Otherwise? You won't give me the reward, and I won't take it if you give it to me. I won't stay here just because of these properties. Can you understand, Madam Butterfly?"

The old woman nodded without surprise.

"Yes, a man from the Ming Dynasty with all his abilities ran across the Southern Barbarians and then came back. How could such a person stop moving forward just because of a few fields in the Weiming Kingdom?"

"Oh? Are you sure now that I am from the Ming Dynasty?"

"I was skeptical before." The old woman shrugged.

"Although I don't think you are from the imperial court, I also think that you are exaggerating your own status by saying that you are from the Ming Dynasty. But last night, how should I say it?"

Madame Butterfly rubbed her chin with her index finger and thumb, organizing her words.

"I have also met a few businessmen from the Ming Dynasty who came across the sea. The feeling you gave me last night was very similar to them. You can see the things we don't care about, or can't care about at a glance. But we are entangled in it.

Things, you don’t have to care about at all.”

"Is that why you are so sharp when solving problems?"

Lan En was expressionless at this statement.

Yes, yes, even if you brag about me again, I won't feel proud.

If I didn't know last night, you people wouldn't even be able to talk properly!

Problems that can be solved through good communication, in the context of these Riddlers, half-hiding and half-revealing, almost let a guy like Xiao, who obviously has a problem, take it all in the end!

Last night, Lan En was a little speechless when he saw the wolf and the butterfly using the knife without saying a word.

These Japanese people behave quite normally in their daily lives.

But once they reach a critical point where the pressure is huge, it seems that they will become extreme because they can't bear the pressure, make judgments lightly, and become very stubborn.

And you can't tell it from their expressions. People who don't know it really think that they have a plan in mind after thinking about it for a long time!

Is this a national character?

"The rewards that the Hirata clan can give you now are not something that you can appreciate, and that's normal. But you should always ask for something, just treat it as a favor. Don't let outsiders say that the Hirata clan treats the most important hero as nothing.

"

It is correct to say that Lan En is the most important contributor.

Even if the vast majority of people have no idea what happened in the hidden Buddhist hall, he just regrouped his team last night and killed more than 80% of the bandits.

He has to wear the hat of greatest hero.

"Sir, we need guidance! Guidance! It's that [Light Body Technique], and other messy things."

Mentos reminds the subject in his mind at the right time.

That tone made Lan En feel like he was urging his friends to go to the canteen to buy two more bags of crispy noodles.

So the witcher said to Madam Butterfly with a natural expression.

"It would be best if there is gold, but I don't think Ashina Country is a place with gold mines. Continue to teach me the ninja skills of those Gu Yingzhong. You guys have been fighting each other for so many years, you should be able to order their things.

?”

Ninjas are people who rely on secrets to survive in the dark. Lan En himself feels that it is unlikely that he will be accepted to learn Ashina's native ninja skills. But it should be no problem for the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Butterfly nodded very simply.

"Your talent, I also learned about it from the wolf, is quite scary. But now you must be stuck on [Light Body Technique]? No problem, I will teach you personally. But if it is just like this, it seems not enough.

Others will say that Mr. Hirata is stingy."

The old woman tilted her head and thought for a moment, then calmly spit out a name.

"[Wei Mingren] let's do it."

Lan En's eyes blinked, his mouth opened slightly, and he turned to look at the ordinary old woman.

"With the addition of [Ashi Ming-ryu], that's almost it. You learned Nanman swordsmanship, right? This time I want you to see our famous 'sword' that is famous in Japan."

The corner of Lan En's mouth curled up and he clicked his tongue.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, then I'm really pleasantly surprised."

"Keep it surprising, [Wei Mingren] will not let you down."

——

The reconstruction of Pingtian Manor started in the afternoon after the meeting.

The common people in Zhuangzi are working hard to build a small shack for temporary residence.

If these things are not built well, most of them will be sleeping in the ruins of their houses tonight.

It is late autumn now, and the heat from the fire last night was still there. But after a night of mental shock, if they catch another cold, it is estimated that another group of people will be sent away by the cold.

But no matter what, it is not the turn of the samurai masters to do these things.

Now, most of the reinforcements coming from Ashina Castle have been incorporated into the defense system of Hirata Manor.

A small number of the more elite ones, as well as the elites from Pingtian Village, will be sent outside the village again as early warning scouts, as well as pursuers to hunt down the bandits.

The Hirata clan was a clan that was enshrined in the Ashina Kingdom after the Tieguo War. A samurai family of this status was raided by bandits and destroyed to such an extent. Without revenge, they would undoubtedly become a laughing stock.

For the aristocracy, losing face is as important as losing one's life.

Regarding Lan En's contribution last night, the meeting also made it clear. Although he was not given any physical rewards such as land, he was still given the title of a warrior.

After a few rooms are cleared out in the inner house, Lan En will move to the inner house.

It’s not that he dislikes being poor and loves being rich, so he wants to move out of the longhouse.

In fact, it was the rogues who already had formal weaves who treated Lan En with respect, which made him feel uncomfortable.

In the past, although Lan En was a manager in his position, these ronin could still joke and joke with him. Because "position" is not "class".

But once he was given the title of "Samurai", these daily communications never happened again.

After the Japanese people have class distinctions, they will make people feel clearly.

Lan En was alone at this time, wandering hard in Longquan River with a boat.

He was also one of the people who came out to pursue the bandits, but because of his irrefutable fighting power, he was able to form a group alone.

Bandits were of little interest to Lan En. He came out this time mainly to confirm what he heard while going down the river last night, which was similar to auditory hallucinations.

At that time, time was tight and there was no way to stop the boat and search.

However, given Lan En's current physical condition, apart from the influence of external factors, it is unlikely that he will suffer from auditory hallucinations.

He was very curious about this.

Not long after sailing upstream, the familiar voice appeared again.

"Ah ah! It's indeed the breath of the precious carp's scale! Brother, how about coming over to do some business?"
