Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 72: Promoted to Deputy Commander, Redeeming the Indenture

"Captain Qin, Captain Qin!"

At this moment, Xiao Ma hurriedly ran over.

"What happened?"

Qin Feng looked at Xiao Ma.

"Captain Qin, Captain Wu obtained a Half-Treant Anomaly's heart!"

Xiao Ma's face was filled with urgency.

After all, as long as Captain Wu obtained a Black Water Cult's iron token, he would become the Deputy Commander of the guards.

By then, Xiao Ma would no longer be the captain of the medicinal herb collection team.

"Xiao Ma, let's go find the Manor Lord!"

Qin Feng stood up and said.

"Find the Manor Lord?"

Xiao Ma's face was full of confusion.

"To obtain the Deputy Commander position!"

Qin Feng finished speaking and walked into the room. Not long after, he came out with a box and headed towards the Manor Lord's room.

"To obtain the Deputy Commander position!"

Xiao Ma's face was filled with excitement as he quickly followed behind Qin Feng.

After more than ten minutes, Qin Feng and Xiao Ma arrived at the main hall of the medicine manor.

At this moment, Li Ru was guarding the hall with a group of people.

"Sister Ru!"

Qin Feng quickly walked up and said.

"Captain Qin, why did you come here?"

Li Ru curiously looked at Qin Feng.

"Sister Ru, I have obtained the Half-Treant Anomaly's heart, Azure Cloud Grass, and the Black Water Cult's iron token!"

Qin Feng walked up and said.

"So quickly?"

Li Ru's face was filled with surprise.

Seeing the surprise on Li Ru's face, Qin Feng's face was filled with a strange expression.

If Li Ru knew that he had collected everything more than ten days ago, he didn't know how she would react.

"You wait here, I'll report it!"

Li Ru walked into the hall.

A few minutes later, Li Ru walked out from inside.

"Captain Qin, come with me!"

Li Ru led Qin Feng into the hall.

Liu Ruyan, dressed in a cheongsam, was sitting on a chair.

"Greetings, Manor Lord!"

Qin Feng and Li Ru bowed their hands towards Liu Ruyan.

"No need for formalities!"

Liu Ruyan stood up, glanced at Qin Feng, and then said, "Have you collected everything?"

"All the attributes have been obtained!"

Qin Feng finished speaking and took out the Half-Treant Anomaly's heart, the iron token, and the Azure Cloud Grass.

Liu Ruyan took a few glances at the iron token in her hand before saying, "Not bad, it is indeed the Black Water Cult's token!"

"Li Ru, bring Qin Feng's indenture!"

"Yes, Manor Lord!"

Li Ru quickly walked outside.

Not long after, Li Ru came back into the hall, still holding an indenture in his hand.

Liu Ruyan took a glance at the indenture in her hand and said, "Originally, in order to become free at Eternal Peace Medicine Manor, one must either be the Commander or a pharmacist."

"But you must promise to help me with three things!"

Qin Feng's face was filled with joy upon hearing this.

With his freedom, he would be able to participate in Great Wei's martial arts examination. In the future, his children would no longer be servants of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

"Manor Lord, what are these three things?"

Qin Feng's face was filled with hesitation.

If these three things were very difficult, Qin Feng estimated that it would be hard for him to complete them.

"Don't worry, they are all within your capabilities!"

Liu Ruyan seemed to have sensed Qin Feng's concerns.

"Thank you, Manor Lord!"

"Please give your orders, Manor Lord!"

Qin Feng quickly said.

"The first thing is to send a Half-Treant Anomaly's heart every two months for the next three years!"

Liu Ruyan said slowly.

"I will comply!"

Qin Feng immediately agreed.

For Qin Feng, dealing with Half-Treant Anomalies now was very easy.

With just a few moves, he could kill a Half-Treant Anomaly.

"As for the remaining two things, I will tell you in the future!"

"Li Ru, take Qin Feng to announce this matter!"

Liu Ruyan spoke up.

"Understood!"

Li Ru bowed and walked outside.

Just as Qin Feng walked out of the main hall, he saw Xiaoma anxiously pacing back and forth.

Xiaoma was about to approach, but saw Li Ru walking and talking with Qin Feng.

"It's done!"

Xiaoma's face was filled with joy.

As long as Qin Feng became the deputy leader, he would be the captain of the medicinal plant collection team.

Xiaoma quickly followed.

"Congratulations, Fengdi, on becoming the deputy leader!"

Li Ru said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to Sister Ru's appreciation!"

Qin Feng quickly replied.

A few minutes later, Li Ru brought Qin Feng to the martial arts arena and ordered the captain of the guards and all the guards to gather.

Captain Wu and many other captains looked at Qin Feng standing next to Li Ru with confusion.

They all felt that something big must have happened.

But they didn't think about the deputy leader.

After all, Qin Feng's cultivation level was not high.

It was impossible for him to collect all four items so quickly.

Becoming the captain of the guards was already a stroke of luck.

"Listen to me, all of you."

Li Ru raised her voice, "From now on, Qin Feng will be the deputy leader of the guards!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole scene fell silent.

The many captains and guards were all dumbfounded.

They couldn't understand how Qin Feng suddenly became the deputy leader.

Just a few months ago, Qin Feng was just a servant.

In a few months' time, he had transformed into the deputy leader?

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that Qin Feng has collected all the materials?"

"That's impossible, even Captain Wu is still missing one!"

"Qin Feng only joined the guards a few months ago, right?"

"..."

The guards were all shocked as they looked at Qin Feng.

They couldn't understand how Qin Feng's promotion speed could be so fast.

In just a few months, he became the deputy leader of Eternal Peace Medicine Manor.

"Leader Qin, do you have anything to say?"

Li Ru looked at Qin Feng beside her.

Qin Feng stepped forward and said, "From today onwards, I am the deputy leader of the guards!"

"In the future, I hope everyone can cooperate well."

"The captain of the medicinal plant collection team will be Xiaoma!"

Qin Feng said many formal words and appointed Xiaoma as the captain of the medicinal plant collection team.

"Thank you, Leader Qin!"

Xiaoma's face was filled with excitement.

"Alright, disperse!"

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Li Ru ordered the dispersal.

After Li Ru left, many captains and guards gathered around, saying many flattering words.

Qin Feng nodded with a smile.

After a while, Qin Feng finally left the crowd of guards and walked towards the guard's courtyard with Xiaoma.

"Xiaoma...!"

Qin Feng looked at Xiaoma beside him.

"Leader Qin, do you have any orders?"

Xiaoma lowered his head and respectfully asked.

"Do you know how to arrange the distribution of bamboo baskets in the warehouse?"

Qin Feng asked.

"Leader Qin, rest assured, I have distributed bamboo baskets several times before!"

Xiaoma quickly replied.

"Good, I'll leave the distribution of bamboo baskets to you in the future!"

Qin Feng patted Xiaoma's shoulder.

"Thank you, Leader Qin!"

Xiaoma's face was filled with joy.

"Leader Qin, the deputy leader's room is currently empty. Shall I arrange for a few people to help you move into the new house?"

Xiaoma continued.

"Yes, please!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

"Leader Qin, please rest. I'll go make arrangements!"

Xiaoma hurriedly left.

East courtyard.

Deputy Commander's courtyard.

With the help of many guards, Qin Feng has moved from the captain's courtyard to here.

The deputy commander's house is not only luxuriously decorated, but also very spacious.

There are not only three main rooms, four side rooms, but also a living room, a backyard, and a courtyard.

Seeing this room, Qin Feng is very satisfied.

This courtyard is very large, completely enough for Qin Feng's usual cultivation.

"Sir, have you really become the deputy commander?"

Looking at such a big house, Hu Qingya still can't believe it.

"Who else can live in this house besides the deputy commander!"

Qin Feng gently pinched Hu Qingya's face.

Hu Qingya's face immediately turned red.

"Sir, please stop pinching Qingya's face all the time!"

Liang Weiwei quickly slapped Qin Feng's hand away.

"Sir, now that our house is big and we have more rooms, should we hire a few maidservants?"

Liang Weiwei pointed to the courtyard and said.

"Okay, tomorrow you and Qingya will go to the broker house and take a look!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

Now that the house is big, Hu Qingya and Liang Weiwei can't do all the housework all the time.

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Qin Feng's door was knocked.

"Who is it?"

Qin Feng asked.

"Commander Qin, today the laborers are going to Soft Wind Mountain to collect herbs. Would you like to go with us?"

A voice came from outside the door.

Qin Feng opened the courtyard door and found Xiao Ma standing respectfully below.

"Yes, I'll take a look!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

He went to Soft Wind Mountain not for any other reason, but to see how much lifespan the Caged Lantern Anomaly there could add to him.

Ten minutes later, Qin Feng followed Xiao Ma into the courtyard.

At this moment, many laborers and guards had gathered here.

"Why is Qin Feng wearing the commander's uniform?"

"Could it be that he has become the commander?"

"Just a few months ago, Qin Feng was still a laborer?"

"How could he be promoted so quickly?"

"I used to sleep in the same dormitory as Qin Feng!"

"..."

Many laborers looked at Qin Feng, who was wearing the commander's uniform, and their eyes widened one by one.

They never expected that Qin Feng would actually become the deputy commander of the guards.

It should be noted that just a few months ago, Qin Feng was just a small laborer like them.

If they had known that Qin Feng was so outstanding.

They should have built a good relationship with Qin Feng back then.

"Commander Qin, everything is ready. Can we set off now?"

Xiao Ma hurried over and said.

"Yes, let's go!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

"Set off... to Soft Wind Mountain!"

Xiao Ma shouted loudly.

Under Xiao Ma's command, the team slowly headed towards Soft Wind Mountain.

"Have the Drum Maker Anomalies decreased recently?"

"It seems that the laborers in our courtyard haven't seen any Drum Maker Anomalies for three days!"

"I wonder where these Drum Maker Anomalies have gone?"

"I hope these Drum Maker Anomalies won't appear again!"

...

Along the way, many laborers were discussing the decrease in Drum Maker Anomalies and beggars.

There were also people discussing Qin Feng, who had become the deputy commander.

Upon hearing the laborers' words, Qin Feng just smiled.

All the Drum Maker Anomalies and Dark Beggar Anomalies in Eternal Peace County have been killed by Qin Feng and turned into his lifespan.

Naturally, there are not many Drum Maker Anomalies and Dark Beggar Anomalies left.

After more than half an hour, everyone arrived at the campsite in Soft Wind Mountain.

"Send these laborers up Soft Wind Mountain!"

Xiao Ma shouted loudly.

At this moment, Xiao Ma had already adapted to the role of the team leader.

"Commander Qin, would you like to rest in the warehouse?"

Little Ma ran happily to Qin Feng's side.

"I'm going to Soft Wind Mountain to take a look!"

Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

"Commander Qin, let me accompany you!"

Little Ma spoke up.

"You've just been appointed as the captain of the medicinal herb collection team, familiarize yourself with the camp first!"

Qin Feng was going to Soft Wind Mountain this time to kill the Skeletal Anomaly and Caged Lantern Anomaly. Naturally, he wouldn't bring Little Ma along.

After saying this, Qin Feng quickly entered Soft Wind Mountain.

A few minutes later, Qin Feng arrived at an open space in Soft Wind Mountain.

"Let's do it here and see how much lifespan the Caged Lantern Anomaly can increase!"

As Qin Feng spoke, he poured the pig's blood from the water bottle onto the ground.

"Wu wu wu"

After more than ten minutes, a sound of wailing came over.

Soon after, a red lantern slowly flew over in this direction.

The red lantern quickly floated above the pig's blood.

The candlelight on the Caged Lantern Anomaly flickered, seeming very happy.

"Swish!"

Qin Feng drew his Flowing Fire Blade.

A white blade light flew towards the Caged Lantern Anomaly.

"Boom!"

With a light sound, the Caged Lantern Anomaly turned into ashes directly.

[Ding, your lifespan has increased by seven months!]

"Seven months!"

Looking at the increased lifespan on the attribute panel, Qin Feng's face was filled with excitement.

A single Caged Lantern Anomaly had so much lifespan.

If he killed all the Caged Lantern Anomalies in Soft Wind Mountain, he would definitely be able to easily increase his lifespan by over a hundred years.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng took out the water bottle from his body again.

"Wu wu wu"

Not long after, several Caged Lantern Anomalies flew over from the front.

Qin Feng raised his long knife.

In the evening, Qin Feng returned to the warehouse.

"I didn't expect to kill fifty-three Caged Lantern Anomalies!"

Looking at the numbers on the attribute panel.

Qin Feng's face was filled with excitement.

"Are there fewer Caged Lantern Anomalies on Soft Wind Mountain?"

"When we used to collect herbs, we could always see Caged Lantern Anomalies!"

"I've been collecting all day today and haven't found any!"

"And every time we went up the mountain, more than ten people would die, but today only three people stayed on Soft Wind Mountain!"

"Why did the Anomalies suddenly decrease so much?"

"Isn't it a good thing that the Anomalies decreased?"

"..."

Many of the workers whispered quietly.

They seemed to have noticed that there were fewer Anomalies on Soft Wind Mountain.

"Commander Qin, the drinks are ready, please come inside!"

When Little Ma saw Qin Feng approaching, he quickly came out.

"Okay!"

Qin Feng nodded and walked into the warehouse.

Just as he entered the warehouse, Qin Feng felt that something was wrong.

He found a familiar Anomaly aura inside the warehouse.

"Little Ma, did anyone come to the warehouse today?"

Qin Feng asked.

"Commander Qin, Liu Yunchao, the head of the Liu family, came to the warehouse today!"

Little Ma quickly reported.

"What did he come here for?"

Qin Feng's brow furrowed slightly.

"The head of the Liu family came here to discuss matters regarding medicinal herbs."

"He also asked about your preferences and where you usually like to go!"

Little Ma reported again.

"Alright, I understand!"

Qin Feng waved his hand.

"I guess Liu Yunchao discovered something!"

Qin Feng speculated.

Liu Yunchao must have found some clues.

Otherwise, Liu Yunchao wouldn't have come here to investigate him.
