Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 366 - 364: This is a Reward!

After enduring the Devil Month, they all felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Yet, since military orders were as immovable as mountains, and the superior did not allow them to leave, they dared not depart.

Although this mission had indeed given them a chance to get some fresh air outside,

the personal emotions they harbored were nonetheless tucked away in each of their hearts, merely undisclosed in normal times.

But today, upon hearing the news that they could return home, everyone became ecstatic.

In the next moment, as each person received the weighty silver, the excitement on their faces grew even more intense.

You must know, this was a full one hundred taels of silver, an amount they could not have saved up in their entire lives before.

Now, being able to go home to visit relatives and bring back so much silver, how could they not be thrilled?

With this silver, each of their families would see a thorough improvement.

Though their current living conditions here were already quite good, with no shortage of food and drink, with this silver, they would become even wealthier.

You must realize, even the richest families in their village could not produce a hundred taels of silver!

To have it in their hands after only a few short months was incredibly exhilarating for them!

Some even secretly prayed in their hearts for the barbarians to come cause trouble again, so they could show their prowess and earn another hundred taels of silver.

As Lin Yi called out the dismissal, everyone simply stood there, motionless.

Staring at each other, not knowing what to do next.

"Heh, what else are you looking at? Don’t tell me you want to stay for extra practice?"

Once Lin Yi shouted this, everyone around instantly snapped out of it, then scattered like ducks, running back to their respective quarters.

Eager for their home visit, they naturally wanted to dress in clean clothing.

After all, they wanted to make those outside envious, to show them just how good their lives were here.

Back in their quarters, freshly dressed in clean and tidy military uniforms, each person’s face beamed with a ruddy glow, full of high spirits.

Then, one by one, they proceeded to the outskirts of their encampment, quickly leaving the camp behind.

When they returned to their homes, when they entered the small room that belonged to their families, everyone was stunned.

Their homes had changed dramatically; not only were they clean and tidy, but all sorts of items were also brand new.

On the large kang bed, there were no longer tattered quilts, but neatly stacked bedding, which were specially distributed by Lin Yi.

Seeing the group of children returning, their families were filled with indescribable excitement and fervor.

Especially seeing their crisp, smart attire and robust faces made all of them abundantly happy and brought them to tears.

The soldiers, too, were so delighted that they took out the silver from their bosoms like presenting a treasured gift.

This caught their family members off guard.

Looking at the silver in their hands, looking at the shiny coins before them, their hearts leapt with shock.

They quickly wrapped up the silver and, grabbing their children’s hands, prepared to head outside.

"Your Majesty, where are we going?" a question emerged in a spacious bungalow.

When the old woman heard her son’s question, tears began streaming down her face.

"My son, the life we enjoy now is all thanks to the kindness of Official Lin.

How could you do such a thing, knowing how generous Official Lin has been to us?

I’m going to take you to confess to Official Lin right now. It doesn’t matter if we stole the silver; we’ll admit our mistake. As long as we can appease Official Lin’s anger, no matter how he decides to punish you, we will accept it."

Upon hearing these words, the soldier immediately understood that his mother had misunderstood him, thinking that he had stolen the silver.

This caused him immense frustration at once.

However, seeing his mother’s tearful and distressed face, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of heartache.

So he quickly grabbed his mother’s hand and hurriedly started to explain.

"Mother, don’t worry, I didn’t steal this silver. It was given to me as a reward by the official."

The old woman, whose heart had been filled with despair, was stunned when she heard this.

She turned around, stared at her son with incredulous eyes, and asked with some confusion:

"Is what you’re saying true? The silver was a reward from the official?

But why would he reward you with so much silver for no reason?"

After asking this question, without waiting for the soldier to reply, the old lady hurriedly said:

"My son, we owe Official Lin a debt of gratitude; we can’t take more silver from him. It’s not easy for him to earn silver either. Quickly come with your mother to return this silver to the official."

This single statement revealed what kind of status Official Lin held in the hearts of these people.

Hearing this, the soldier laughed and said:

"Mother, listen to my explanation, this silver was indeed a reward from Official Lin, but it was also something your son earned with his ability."

At these words, the old lady was no longer in a hurry to leave. Instead, she looked at her son with interest and waited for him to continue:

"That’s right, mother. Did you hear about the affair some days ago when those barbarians came to provoke us?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady nodded her head. Then, she spoke through clenched teeth:

"I certainly heard about those damned barbarians. Why are they so despicable?

Your Majesty had just started to manage You Country, and they are already causing trouble.

Son, now that you’re a soldier of You Country, you must pick up a spear and really kill some barbarians if needed!"

Watching her mother grit her teeth like this, her son scratched his head and chuckled as he said:

"Mother, these are the rewards I received for killing barbarians!

Haha, we had a secret mission this time, so I’m not at liberty to disclose it to you. frёeωebɳovel.com

In short, your son killed three barbarians by himself.

Your Majesty was pleased, so he had Official Lin reward each of us with one hundred tael of silver.

This is what Official Lin rewarded us with. Mother, you can take this money without worry; this is what your son deserves."

With these words, the old lady stopped crying altogether. She stood there dumbfounded, looking at her son with an expression
