Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 767 7 miles away

Lin Feng nodded: "Since we have been exposed, we have to find another way to travel."

Hong Xiao was stunned: "General, I'm afraid they don't know your identity yet?"

"I don't know now, but I'll know soon. If I could do this business, I wouldn't be alive today if I wasn't smart enough."

"Then how do we get there?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Leave Xiaodong here and let Bass Mu take care of him. Then hire the wooden-faced man from before and take a shortcut to Lingdouzi Castle."

Hong Xiao was surprised and asked, "We're going to walk by ourselves? Do you know the way?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I used to hang out in the west of the town, so I'm familiar with most of the routes."

"But is it safe to leave Xiaodong here?"

"Basi Mu and Gan Shisan have been using this route for years. Without accurate information from us, they wouldn't dare to touch our people."

Hongxiao thought about it.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Woodface."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement. He felt that since this wooden-faced man could lend a helping hand in his critical moment, he must be a man with no background but a story. He had been in the underworld for a long time and acted based on his personal preferences.

Lin Feng's judgments were basically correct, except for one thing he didn't expect: this wooden-faced man was a mute.

He happily followed Hong Xiao to Lin Feng and agreed to go with Lin Feng and the others. He gestured that he could drive a carriage and do a lot of work, and all he needed was a meal.

This man was about the same height as Lin Feng. There was no expression on his face, and his hands were covered with calluses, which he didn't know whether they were from working or practicing with a gun.

He stood very steadily, his eyes calm as he faced Lin Feng's gaze.

Lin Feng stared at his expressionless face, pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed that the two sides should work together to get what they needed.

After Lin Feng entrusted Xiaodong, who was full of reluctance, to Bass Mu, he drove the carriage and left the caravan.

Watching the two carriages moving further and further away, Basmu and Gan Shisan breathed a sigh of relief.

There were two groups of experts in the team, which made them very nervous and they couldn't carry out their business.

Now, they have all left. One wave was beaten away, and another wave could not stay and left on their own.

Lin Feng and Hong Xiao took a carriage and followed a side road, leaving Basmu's caravan. In the desolate wilderness, there were only these two carriages, which looked lonely and desolate.

Lin Feng brought a map of Zhenxi, so he wouldn't get lost. He was looking for a road that was more suitable for him.

Half a day later, they stopped at the foot of a grassy slope. There was no village in sight, and as the sun was setting, this place could offer some shelter from the wind.

The two grooms and Wooden Face began to pack up their camping belongings.

Lin Feng got some firewood from the carriage and prepared to light a bonfire and cook some hot food.

Hongxiao ran out by herself. She wanted to see if she could catch a wild rabbit or something in the wilderness to improve her food.

Not long after, Hongxiao brought over a gray rabbit.

Lin Feng looked at the rabbit. There were no scars on its body, and its two hind legs were still kicking around.

Then he laughed and said, "Are you running faster than a rabbit?"

Hong Xiao also laughed: "In a short distance, it is indeed faster than a rabbit."

The two chatted casually while roasting the rabbit.

"General, I think someone will come tonight. What should we do next?"

Using the light from the fire, Lin Feng drew a map on the ground with a branch.

"This is where we are. About thirty miles north of here, and another forty miles northwest, there's a town called Qiliqu. We'll get there tomorrow."

Hongxiao was confused and asked while looking at the map.

"and then?"

Lin Feng dropped the branch and turned the rabbit on the fire.

"The reason I'm walking slowly is because I'm waiting for the other party's reaction. It should be about time these days. Qiliqu is where we'll close the net."

Hong Xiao looked at Lin Feng and said, "I knew the general wouldn't put himself in danger so easily."

"I'm both the bait and the core. How can I attract them all without taking some risks?"

Lin Feng used a short knife to cut a piece of rabbit meat, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

"Eat more meat, or you might not get any sleep tonight."

Hong Xiao nodded: "Yeah, I also think that tonight will not be peaceful."

The two men had just cut two pieces of rabbit meat when they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

"coming."

Hongxiao stuffed the rabbit meat into her mouth and muttered something.

"You are one of the few smart ones tonight. You followed closely and came here to test your sword on me."

"General, don't be too careless. These guys are too strange and have all kinds of tricks."

Of course, Lin Feng would not be careless. He had just experienced a terrible battle and knew that his swordsmanship was not invincible.

Soon, under the cover of night, two strong horses came running from a distance, following the light of the campfire, and galloped straight to Lin Feng and the others.

About ten steps away from the campfire, the two horses were reined in at the same time.

Two men sat on the horse, wearing turbans on their heads and holding weapons in their hands. They jumped off the horse.

The two men distanced themselves from each other and strode to within five steps of Lin Feng.

A man was holding a long sword in his hand and turning it in front of him. The bright blade was shining in the firelight, emitting a cold light.

"Lin Feng, I have to admire your courage. You are surrounded by enemies, yet you still dare to travel like this. In this world, I only respect you."

Lin Feng sat in front of the fire without moving, still holding a piece of rabbit meat with a short knife in his hand.

“The goal is clear and not simple.”

The other man laughed and said, "I don't know if you did it on purpose or if you're just stupid. Anyway, since my two brothers found you first, you've got this incredible fortune."

Lin Feng stuffed the rabbit meat into his mouth, threw the dagger to Hong Xiao, stood up, and picked up the steel knife at his side.

"Maybe it's more than just wealth."

As he spoke, he waved his left hand at Hong Xiao and strode towards a man.

"Okay, whatever else you have, my brother will take it all."

Another man shouted loudly.

"We two brothers are known in the underworld as..."

The man's next words were suppressed by Lin Feng's sword. Before he could say anything else, he raised his sword to block the attack.

Unfortunately, although he reacted quickly, he failed to stop Lin Feng's knife.

Not only was he fast, he also accelerated halfway, causing the opponent's intercepting knife to hit empty space.

Lin Feng succeeded in striking with his sword, then turned his body and pounced on another man.

The man behind him even retracted the long knife he had swung out.

The other man had no time to be surprised and swung the axe in his hand with great force.

However, in the darkness of the night, Lin Feng's figure was erratic and he could not lock onto his target. He swung his axe into the air and was trying to pull it back when he felt a chill on his neck. All the strength in his body quickly disappeared like a deflated ball.

Hongxiao cheered.

“That’s real ability.”

Lin Feng wiped the blade on the fallen man, turned around and glanced around, but there was no movement.

"How dare you do this with such ability?"
