Chapter 1195 I Don't Even Want to Play for Free
Currently, everything appears normal on the surface, mainly because the Zhenxi Army is relatively stable. While there are certainly some generals who have been placed in power or whose positions have been shaken, they are few and far between.
Lin Feng understood that as long as the army remained under his control, the regime would not change much.
Those officials who are wavering or have already wavered will immediately become docile and dare not make any rash moves as soon as I show up.
But this is not the situation Lin Feng wants. He needs to completely calm all the officials down so that even if he is gone one day, they will continue to follow his established policies.
Lin Feng walked slowly forward, lost in thought.
In Lin Feng's view, since problems have arisen, they must be solved one by one.
Although the Great Court existed in name only, it remained the orthodoxy for many scholars, including some soldiers of the Zhenxi Army, who considered it an honor to serve the country, receive merit, and bring glory to their ancestors.
Lin Feng cannot overthrow the imperial court all at once.
Of course, we can't let those lazy bums do nothing sabotage us behind our backs.
It seems that I was too lenient in my treatment of them, which led them to have other ideas.
"Sir, please have pity on me and give me some food?"
As Lin Feng was pondering this, a dirty-looking little beggar, who appeared to be about ten years old, approached him and stretched out a small, dark hand, almost poking him.
Although the little beggar was dressed in rags and his face was covered in dirt, his little eyes darted around very brightly and even shone with a sparkle.
Lin Feng didn't think about anything else. Although the people of Jingxi Prefecture were wealthy, there were constant wars in other places, and there were bound to be many displaced refugees.
He touched his body and found the broken sword wrapped around his lower back and the revolver in the cloth sheath around his waist.
The broken sword must never leave his side. At Lin Feng's current level, he is still somewhat lacking in the ability to face a cultivator like Tsuruta Gen independently.
The revolver was used by Lin Feng to deal with ordinary martial artists. When he encountered martial arts masters, Lin Feng was too lazy to fight and only wanted to take them down quickly.
Aside from these two weapons, he really didn't bring any money.
Pei Qiyin used to carry his personal belongings for him, but now Ye Liangcai didn't let him come along.
Lin Feng could only smile wryly and shake his head at the little beggar.
"I didn't bring anything with me."
"Sir, could you take me to get some silver? I haven't eaten for two days."
Lin Feng turned his head to look at the road ahead. He was already two streets away from the government office. If he turned back, he would still have to visit the people.
"Well... why don't you go ask someone for some? Maybe you can come to the government office to find me later."
The little beggar looked incredulous, wondering why Lin Feng, who didn't seem poor, was so stingy.
However, his little hand remained raised in front of Lin Feng, his little mouth murmuring.
"Go back quickly, you can't go any further."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "You're so stingy. Why go shopping if you don't have money?"
The little beggar shouted something loudly, then turned and ran away.
Lin Feng paused for a moment, but did not turn around to look at the little beggar. He continued to walk forward.
In this world, apart from a limited number of high-level cultivators from reclusive sects, Lin Feng did not believe there were any experts who could defeat him.
Moreover, with the broken sword in his possession, even if Tsuruta Gen were in front of him, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
But who is this little beggar?
Clearly, he was warning Lin Feng that there was danger ahead.
Lin Feng turned onto another street and deliberately walked into a small alley.
The narrow alley was deserted, with towering courtyard walls on both sides. Although it was broad daylight, the alley was somewhat dim.
Lin Feng discovered that not only was there danger ahead, but there were also people following behind him.
As soon as he entered the alley, he stopped in the second doorway and pressed his body against the wall so that he could not be seen from the alley.
Before long, a young man strode in.
The man frowned. The alley wasn't long; he could see the end at a glance, but his target had vanished.
The young man immediately took off after him, thinking that Lin Feng had already run out of the alley.
Unexpectedly, as he passed through a doorway, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck.
The young man was about to resist when the hand on his neck tightened, causing him to go limp and lose all strength.
Lin Feng released the young man who had already rolled his eyes.
"Who sent you?"
The man paused for a moment before speaking.
"It is Prefect Wu."
"Ok?"
Lin Feng's eyes sharpened.
The man quickly added, "Lord Wu is worried that something might happen to you in the city, so he sent me to accompany you so that we can deal with it."
Lin Feng nodded; this reason was barely plausible.
"Go back and tell Lord Wu not to send anyone to follow you again."
The man had recovered and quickly got up from the ground.
"Yes Yes Yes..."
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Lin Feng watched the man's figure disappear at the alley entrance, thought for a moment, then turned around and continued walking forward.
Just as we were about to leave the alley, the last courtyard gate in the alley suddenly creaked open, and a pretty woman walked out.
Although the woman was pretty, she was over forty years old, and the wrinkles on her face could not be hidden. Her clothes were also a colorful mess.
The woman held a scroll in her hand, her alluring eyes glancing sideways at Lin Feng.
“Oh, young master, what a coincidence that we meet! I just stepped out and met such a handsome young man. It’s truly a blessing from heaven.”
Seeing her moving closer to him, Lin Feng quickly took a step back.
"what?"
"Come inside with me and have some fun, it won't cost much."
Lin Feng quickly patted his waist: "This young master didn't bring a single penny with him today."
“Oh, young master is so handsome, I’ll just have to take a loss, since there are no other guests today anyway.”
As she spoke, the woman reached out to tug at Lin Feng's sleeve.
Lin Feng smiled wryly and continued to back away.
"I'm not interested, let's forget about it."
"No, young master, fate is something that can't be forced. Since we've met here, how can we let the heavens down?"
The woman then moved closer to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's face darkened, and he pointed a finger.
"Stop right there, or I'll hit you."
The woman looked disdainful: "Young master, I don't want your money anymore. What, you don't even want to play for free?"
"No, I'm not playing."
"Tsk tsk tsk, how can a refined young man swear in the street? If you want to curse, go inside. You can curse all you want there."
The woman chased Lin Feng into the alley.
Lin Feng was somewhat embarrassed. Faced with such a woman of the night, he couldn't fight her or scold her, so he could only flee.
He wasn't without suspicion about the woman's identity, but from any perspective, she was undeniably a woman of the night.
I think it's best to avoid it.
Therefore, Lin Feng had no choice but to turn around and run.
However, the woman ran very fast and caught up with Lin Feng in a short time.
It was only then that Lin Feng realized something was wrong; there was something fishy about this woman.
Just as I thought of this, I felt a cool breeze brush past me from behind, and a chilling aura seeped through my clothes and into my skin.
"Great!"
Lin Feng sighed inwardly. As a cultivator, he was naturally not afraid of such a sneak attack, but to be able to subject his body to such an attack meant that he was a top expert in the secular martial arts world.
