From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Zhao Ping was dragged out by the Vanguard Camp soldiers like a dead dog.

And from this day on, he would never again have the chance to set half a foot into the Vanguard Camp.

Lin Ze walked up to Mu Shuangshuang and said to her, ”Little brother, interested in staying in our Vanguard Camp?

You and your friend, I guarantee, will both have great futures ahead of you!”

That kick Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng landed together made Lin Ze take a liking to Mu Shuangshuang, and at the same time, he also reserved a place for Lu Yuanfeng in his heart.

If he could get these two into his ranks, his army’s future would be boundless.

”Instructor Lin, I’m really sorry, my friend here isn’t a Fire Head Army cook from the mess tent, she’s a chef who cooks specially for the commander-in-chief!”

Lu Yuanfeng took the initiative to explain.

”Instructor Lin, look at me like this—would the Wen Family Army even want me?” Mu Shuangshuang followed up jokingly.

Lin Ze was stunned. ”You’re not... from the army? Then how come... how come your martial arts are this good?”

”Because I have a good master!” Mu Shuangshuang pointed at Lu Yuanfeng.

”My name is Lu Daniu. This is my distant older male cousin. Back in the day, I followed him into the mountains to hunt. Mountain folk, Instructor Lin, you should know: say nothing else, we at least have great strength.

Later he enlisted, and I happened to have some business, so I got back in touch with him. Who knew that by a twist of fate, General Wen happened to like the dishes I made.

I figured I just happened to be free, and General Wen is the commander of a whole city. His affairs are big affairs. I might as well contribute a bit of my meager strength—however long I can stay, I’ll cook for General Wen here for that long!”

Mu Shuangshuang clearly laid out the whole story to Lin Ze.

After listening, Lin Ze felt much more at ease.

At least, even if he couldn’t invite this little brother before him, neither the Central Army nor the rear army would be able to either.

”You said Lu Yuanfeng is your master?” Lin Ze picked up on what Mu Shuangshuang had said.

”Yeah. He’s good at martial arts, honest, and has a brain! I hope Instructor Lin will look after him more in the future.

Doesn’t matter how dirty or tiring the work is, just order my cousin to do it! In any case, no matter what, he’ll obey orders and never defy a military command!”

Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t care less about things like saving face.

All she knew was that she had now drawn Lin Ze’s attention.

And as it happened, Lin Ze was a man of iron and bone who did not shield his subordinates.

So these words of hers were meant to deepen Lin Ze’s impression of Lu Yuanfeng.

Lu Yuanfeng did not lack strength; what he lacked was opportunity.

But opportunities either fall from the sky or are created by oneself.

She had a whole extra lifetime of experience over Fengzi; it was only right that she help him.

”Hahaha, you little brother, you sure know how to talk. If I wasn’t certain you’re a man, I’d think you were a woman!

Other than a woman, who would say so many good words for a man?”

That careless remark of Lin Ze’s made both Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng freeze for a moment.

Only, the two of them were well disguised, so no one noticed.

”Instructor Lin, what are you saying? Fengzi is my older male cousin. We may be distant relatives, but we still share blood.

What’s more, what’s more, he promised me that if one day he makes his mark and achieves success, he’ll get me ten wives.

Otherwise, with a face like mine, I’m afraid there isn’t a woman in the world willing to follow me. But with my cousin backing me, that’s different!”

As soon as Mu Shuangshuang mentioned that Lu Yuanfeng had promised to find him a wife,

Lin Ze completely believed what Mu Shuangshuang said.

After all, he had eyes too. Never mind women—even he, as a man, felt a moment of discomfort when he saw this little brother before him.

For no other reason than that he was just too ugly!

With someone this ugly, unless it’s a family of immense wealth and status, which household’s girl would be willing to marry him?

”Little brother, I, Lin Ze, am not someone without an eye for talent. Even though you said you might leave at any time and can’t stay under my command,

I, Lin Ze, will still give you a promise: whenever you want to come to our Vanguard Camp, I, Lin Ze, will give you that chance at any time.

When the time comes, whether it’s recommending you to the General or to other officers, I’ll do my utmost!”

Lin Ze’s face was full of sincerity.

After he finished, he turned to Lu Yuanfeng again and said, ”Good lad, your legwork isn’t bad. Don’t worry, as long as I, Lin Ze, am here, and as long as you have the strength, the opportunity will be yours sooner or later!”

The little episode at the Vanguard Camp came to a temporary end.

Mu Shuangshuang and the soldiers of the Fire Head Camp went back to the mess tent.

The soldiers on the training grounds continued their drills.

Only, everything that had happened on the training grounds was relayed word for word into General Wen Nantian’s ears.

The Deputy General stood below Wen Nantian, waiting for Wen Nantian to express his view on this matter.

”You’re saying that Zhao Ping was kicked by that Lu Daniu until he can’t move now, with all the bones in his body shattered?”

Wen Nantian’s tone held not the slightest hint of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness; it was entirely as if he were stating a fact.

”No, it was Feng and that Lu Daniu together. Although those earlier kicks were from Lu Daniu, that lad’s strength is still far inferior to Feng.”

After hearing the Deputy General’s words, Wen Nantian narrowed his eyes slightly.

He said, ”If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t see a trace of craftiness or evil in that lad’s eyes, I’d think he had an extraordinary background!”

Wen Nantian spoke.

The reason he dared let Mu Shuangshuang cook for him was because he had confirmed it again and again.

Mu Shuangshuang was harmless to man and beast, and she was also a distant relative of Lu Yuanfeng’s.

Others he might claim not to know well, but Lu Yuanfeng he knew inside and out.

That kid had no bad water in him!

”Should we keep that lad in the army as a soldier?” the Deputy General asked.

”No need. It’s enough if he’s willing to stay and cook for me! The rest doesn’t matter.”

At the mention of food, Wen Nantian felt his mouth water.

Ever since he’d eaten that lad’s cooking, he felt like everything else he ate was just making do.

He didn’t know whether, on the day that lad left Xing City, he’d still be able to get used to it.

”By the way, what about my daughter? Has she gone to look for Feng?” Wen Nantian suddenly asked.

When it came to this daughter, Wen Nantian had many worries in his heart. Watching her grow older day by day, yet with no progress at all on the matter of marriage.

Wen Nantian had no other wish; he just wanted to see his daughter wed and married off, then give him a grandchild!

”No. Miss went to see Feng last night. Don’t know what happened, but she came back angry and is still sulking now!”

The Deputy General said.

”Ai, this girl’s temperament is nothing like mine! If you like someone, go fight for him—what’s the point of always hiding it and tucking it away?”

Wen Nantian was certain in his heart that his daughter liked Lu Yuanfeng.

Otherwise she wouldn’t have pleaded for that kid, getting him back onto the training grounds and allowing him to participate in the training camp selection.

”General, don’t worry. Miss is not a dull-witted person. Once she’s thought some things through, she’ll fight for them herself!”

”That’s true. Still, it’s fortunate that Feng’s fiancée isn’t by his side. As they say, the pavilion closest to the water gets the moon first. With Ya’er spending so much time with him, he’s bound to fall for her!”
