Chapter 756 You two are eloping
Lin Feng closed his eyes and leaned his head against the car wall.
"In this world, who can do anything to us?"
His tone revealed immense confidence.
Hong Xiao smiled in the darkness. The man in front of her was the object of her admiration. She didn't expect that in this man's mind, she had such a high opinion of herself.
"Don't be complacent, I feel your smile."
Lin Feng's words in the dark made Hong Xiao blush.
"Hmph, no need for praise from the general, Hong Xiao is confident that no one in this world can catch up with me."
Lin Feng sighed: "Hong Xiao, if we were in a wilderness like this, could you outrun a warhorse?"
Hong Xiao stopped talking for a while.
"Why should I run? Why not take care of the guy on horseback first?"
"Well, that makes sense, but what if the other side has too many people?"
"Let's see what happens. I don't think they'll send a large force. Are the general's men all puppets?"
Lin Feng frowned: "That's a good word. In the past few years, I let go a little late."
By choosing this method of travel this time, Lin Feng also intended to train his generals to act independently.
Hong Xiao frowned and said.
"No, I think Sister Jing is very capable of acting independently."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "You have a good eye. Bai Jing was the first person I let go of."
"Well, Sister Jing is so lucky."
Hong Xiao envied Bai Jing from the bottom of her heart for finding such a great man.
Lin Feng didn't say anything. He knew Bai Jing's life experience, which was very miserable. It was not until she met him that things changed.
When it comes to blessings, Bai Jing doesn't really feel that it is that good from the bottom of her heart.
After waiting for a while, Hong Xiao couldn't help but ask.
"General, when you travel like this, do you have a backup plan?"
"No."
"So the reason you dare to take risks is because of confidence?"
Lin Feng didn't want to explain too much.
His self-confidence was not only built up now, but also had the strong support of two lifetimes as a human being, mainly the unparalleled strength in his previous life.
The reason why he practiced hard with the sword and even learned body movements from Hong Xiao was that he didn't want to become a rare animal that was always surrounded by a group of guards.
There are more and more enemies around him, and his own guards are also increasing. He has to make his opponents retreat and completely eliminate their mentality of taking chances.
Of course, this is only one aspect. How could Lin Feng do anything without a backup plan?
The fewer people know about it, the better the effect.
"Hong Xiao, you know, we are traveling secretly. Those who know will know, and those who don't know will still be suspicious. This is the mentality I want."
Hong Xiao didn't understand: "General, what's your mentality?"
"You are so suspicious! As long as I haven't clearly left, I, Lin Feng, will still be in Shanglin City, which is only a day's journey by water from Kyoto. No one will move before there is clear news, and no one dares to."
Hong Xiao grinned and said, "General, you are becoming more and more imposing. Even in this darkness, I can feel your oppression."
"Tsk, did I pressure you?"
Hong Xiao felt that his words were ambiguous, her face turned red in secret, and she said nothing.
Lin Feng also felt that it was not very polite to say such casual words to a woman like Hong Xiao.
"Ahem, what I mean is..."
"General, Hong Xiao understands that no man would be interested in a woman like me."
Lin Feng was speechless. Hong Xiao was indeed ordinary-looking and thin, with no breasts and no hips, and could not attract men's attention.
Fortunately, the carriage was pitch black, hiding the embarrassed expressions of the two people.
Only two faint breathing sounds were heard.
"Go to sleep. The road will be bumpy tomorrow, so I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well."
Hong Xiao did not respond until Lin Feng lay down and was about to fall asleep.
"General, can Hong Xiao stay with you forever?"
Lin Feng was stunned, and before he could react, he heard Hong Xiao continue speaking.
"Hong Xiao means to protect you for the rest of your life."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment: "Hong Xiao, you are a remarkable woman. Bai Jing and I both respect you very much. How about you and Bai Jing be sisters for the rest of your lives?"
"Sisters? Hongxiao is proud of it."
"Alas, Bai Jing is also a woman with a miserable life. You two have similarities. Don't worry, since you are following me, Lin Feng, Bai Jing and I will seriously find a good husband for you."
"General, Hong Xiao is not..."
"Go to sleep, leave everything to me."
Lin Feng interrupted Hong Xiao and spoke in a commanding tone.
Hong Xiao had to swallow the second half of the sentence, closed her eyes, and curled up in a corner of the carriage.
The caravan had a smooth journey from Shanglin to Dingyuan.
After entering Dingyuan Prefecture, the caravan needs to conduct a series of goods exchanges here, sell the products brought from the Central Plains, replenish the supply, and then transport them to the west of the town to sell.
This trade activity takes nearly three to five days.
Lin Feng and Hong Xiao were also busy. They were wandering around Dingyuan City and were conducting a public opinion survey.
Lin Feng believes that his institutional reforms must be based on the people, and public opinion is the most direct way of expression.
After they had wandered around the city and returned to the inn where they were staying, someone from the Cui family had come to invite them, saying that Mr. Cui wanted to invite Young Master Lin to have a drink.
Lin Feng saw that it was still early and was just about to wash up before going to the banquet when he saw Xiaodong peeking in from outside the door.
Hong Xiao went to greet him: "Xiaodong, come in, is there anything wrong?"
Xiaodong's face turned pale. He stood nervously in the middle of the room, his two little hands twisted together, his head down and silent.
Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling Hong Xiao to make her some tea and asked her to sit down and calm down before talking.
After a while, Xiaodong finally recovered.
"Mr. Lin, are you still going to Zhenxi Mansion with us?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Well, we are planning to go to Zhenxi, maybe we can go together."
Xiaodong looked up at Lin Feng, his big black and white eyes showing anxiety.
"They'll be staying for several days. You might as well leave early."
"Oh, that's fine too. We can find a caravan leaving tomorrow and join them."
Lin Feng said to Hong Xiao.
Hongxiao also felt that it was better to leave early, as there was no point in wasting time here.
"Okay, I'll go look for it tomorrow."
Xiaodong suddenly looked excited.
"Mr. Lin, can you take me with you?"
Lin Feng was stunned.
"Xiaodong, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Xiaodong lowered his head and murmured for a long time.
"Gao Tong is my mistress's distant nephew. He always bullies me, and he wants to bully you too..."
Hong Xiao was surprised: "He wants to... bully us?"
"Well, he said you don't look like business people, maybe..."
Xiaodong hesitated and couldn't continue.
"What is it?"
"Well...Gao Tong said that you two...eloped..."
Lin Feng and Hong Xiao looked at each other, both feeling at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Indeed, Lin Feng did not treat Hong Xiao as a servant, and Hong Xiao did not treat Lin Feng as a master. The two of them spoke and acted almost as equals.
Lin Feng laughed and said, "Even if we eloped, why would Gao Tong bully us?"
