Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1285 The Ability to Fabricate

Miao Changfeng waved and smiled.

"This Lin Da is quite imposing. I wonder how skilled he is in martial arts. Could he show me a few moves so I can feast my eyes on him?"

Miao Changfeng was being polite; as the Prime Minister, how could anyone refuse such a request?

Qiao Jushan said in a muffled voice, "Prime Minister, I only have some strength, my martial arts skills are just average."

"Once we reach the true nature of things, there's no need to hide anything; just demonstrate it freely."

Everyone in the hall was staring at Qiao Jushan.

But Qiao Jushan's enormous body remained motionless.

He was in a dilemma. The boss was hiding behind him, and if he made a move, the boss would be exposed. How could that be allowed?

In front of the eldest brother Lin Feng, not even Emperor Zhao Zheng's words mattered, let alone Miao Changfeng's.

Upon seeing this, Pang Bohong immediately became restless and shouted loudly.

"Brother Lin, how dare you be so rude!"

The faces of everyone in the hall were grim, and they were at a loss for what to do when Pang Xiu, who was standing next to Pang Bohong, quickly stepped forward.

"Lin Da, what happened to you? Were you injured in the battle with the bandits?"

Qiao Jushan glanced at her gratefully, said nothing, and simply nodded.

Lin Feng thought to himself, "This girl is quick-witted and a smart woman."

Although she tried her best to hide it, Miao Yong, who was standing behind Miao Changfeng, saw through the problem.

Judging from the way the three people walked into the hall, they didn't seem to be injured at all. The fact that they're only saying they're injured now is suspicious.

This unusual situation cannot be taken lightly, as it concerns the safety of the Prime Minister, and no small matter can be overlooked.

Miao Yong stepped forward, gripping the hilt of his knife at his waist, and stood in front of Miao Changfeng, glaring warily at Qiao Jushan.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense and oppressive.

What was supposed to be a perfectly good meeting was ruined by Qiao Jushan's hesitation.

Although Pang Bohong's face remained expressionless, a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes. He thought to himself, "How dare this brat try to poison my mind? If this kid manages to leave the Prime Minister's residence alive, I won't let him leave the capital alive either."

The atmosphere was tense, ready to erupt at any moment. Lin Feng sighed helplessly, took a step to the side, bowed, and said.

"Your Excellency, Lin San apologizes."

His appearance broke the silence in the room, and everyone's eyes turned to Lin Feng, some surprised, some astonished, and some puzzled.

Miao Changfeng's gaze was fixed on Lin Feng's face, and he was also stunned.

This guy is still alive?

They tricked me out of five hundred elite cavalrymen. Although they defeated the enemy all the way, they never returned. Not only did they make me lose face in front of the emperor, but they also caused me a lot of worry.

Several groups of people were sent to search and investigate the vicinity of Yongning Prefecture and Funing Prefecture, but to no avail.

Now, he's become Lin San, and he still dares to appear in front of me.

Miao Yong's eyes were gloomy, and his fingers gripping the knife had turned white.

But he knew that this Lin San, formerly known as Mu Chuan, was exceptionally skilled and that he might not be able to withstand him. For the sake of the Prime Minister's safety, it was best to remain patient for the time being.

Miao Changfeng was a man who had seen many storms, and he quickly regained his composure.

"Hahaha... So it's an old friend! Lin San, I've been looking for you everywhere! I'm so glad you've returned unharmed, hahaha..."

The people in the hall were momentarily stunned.

Pang Bohong was even more surprised that this Lin San was actually an old acquaintance of the Prime Minister.

Given his status in the martial arts world, since he was able to establish a relationship with Miao Changfeng, he naturally had a wide circle of acquaintances and was quite famous.

But why have I never heard of this Lin San?

For the Prime Minister to act in this way, he must not be an ordinary wandering swordsman; he must have some reputation, right?

Pang Xiu was also in a daze, pondering to himself.

This person is skilled in both literature and martial arts, so he must be no ordinary person. The fact that the Prime Minister treats him in such a way is beyond his comprehension.

Lin Feng lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, I am ashamed. Of the five hundred cavalrymen, only I escaped death, yet I dare not come to see Your Excellency again..."

Miao Changfeng raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Let's postpone this matter for now."

After saying that, he turned to look at Pang Bohong.

"Bo Hong, let's stop here for today. I will remember your contributions and reward you handsomely in a few days."

Pang Bohong quickly stood up and bowed.

"Brother has something to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. We'll talk again another day."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling Pang Xiu to follow him, and left the hall.

Lin Feng stood still, as did Qiao Jushan and Ye Liangcai.

Miao Changfeng watched Pang Bohong leave, then turned and walked towards the back door.

"Lin San, come and speak with me in my study."

Miao Yong followed closely behind Miao Changfeng, turning his head to glare warily at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng gestured for Qiao Jushan and Ye Liangcai to wait there, then turned and followed Miao Yong to the back door.

He went to Miao Changfeng's study and saw the Prime Minister frowning and deep in thought, not knowing what he was thinking. He did not disturb him, but stood quietly in the room, waiting to be asked questions.

But in her heart, she was weaving her own story.

After a long while, Miao Changfeng let out a long sigh.

"Kikawa, tell me, what happened?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then began to fabricate a story, but it had only one theme: he was wholeheartedly devoted to his Grand Chancellor Miao Changfeng, and wanted to set an example for the Imperial Guards. So he killed his way through the enemy lines, which led to him being surrounded by a large force of pirates. After a desperate breakout in one night, he discovered that he was the only one left of the five hundred cavalrymen.

Even the Prime Minister's deputy captain of guards was killed in action.

Such a failure was unacceptable to Mu Chuan. He felt ashamed for failing the Prime Minister's high regard and cultivation, so he wandered the world from then on. Eventually, he met two brothers and joined Hongsheng Escort Agency as an escort.

Given Miao Changfeng's shrewdness, he naturally wouldn't easily believe what Lin Feng said, but so far, no flaws have been found in his words.

"You've come to the capital this time to escort goods, do you know what they are?"

Miao Changfeng changed the subject.

"Your Excellency, I only know that this escort is extremely important. Even if it costs me my life, I cannot afford to fail."

Lin Feng replied with a sincere expression.

Miao Yong had been staring intently into Lin Feng's eyes, and suddenly asked a question.

"Muchuan, why are you heading south?"

"Captain, the defenses of the pirate army are much weaker south of Fu'an Prefecture."

Lin Feng faced it calmly.

"Then why do you continue south after passing Fengping County? You should know the purpose of the Prime Minister's order for you to train war cavalry."

Miao Yong interrupted to ask further questions.

"Captain, after we passed Fengping County, I planned to turn back and fight our way back. However, the pirates mobilized nearly 10,000 troops from the three prefectures of Fu'an, Yongning, and Quzhou and surrounded us."

Are you sure you're the only one who survived?

"I'm not sure. It was a dark and chaotic night, and there were many pirates. We were scattered after the battle."

"and then?"

"Then I went back to look for them, but I couldn't find any alive. So I went west alone, following the Fengze River to Jingnan Prefecture."

Miao Changfeng and Miao Yong remained silent. Lin Feng's story sounded similar to what they had later learned, only without so many details.

The general trend remains the same.

After a while.

What are your plans for the future?

“Your Excellency, I have already joined Hongsheng Escort Agency and brought two brothers with me. Since they value us so much, we should work hard for them. In the future, we can build a fortune, get married, have children, and that will be the end of our lives.”

Lin Feng sighed dejectedly.
