Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 397 Rules for the Bride Entering the City

They did not conduct strict checks on ordinary people entering the city, but only paid attention to whether they had silver to take.

Only single young and middle-aged people will be given special attention.

In front of him were the chief guard of the general of the provincial army and the steward of the provincial city inspector, which could be considered as official endorsement.

So, they didn't go too far and just charged a symbolic fee to enter the city before letting us pass.

When passing through the city gate, a soldier wearing a black scarf casually picked up a few gift boxes from an ox cart.

Xi Niang glared and wanted to scold, but Lin Feng covered her mouth.

Several black-scarfed soldiers looked at the two men proudly and laughed.

The ox cart slowly passed through the long city gate, and the buildings in the city could be seen in front.

Lin Feng and others breathed a sigh of relief and were about to speak.

Suddenly, a war horse came to the inside of the city gate with small steps.

Behind the warhorse followed a group of black-armored soldiers, holding spears and looking stern and solemn.

The ox cart was blocked, so Wen Jian had to pull the reins and look at the man on the warhorse through the gap in his straw hat.

A burly, dark-skinned man on a warhorse stared at the ox cart in front of him with his big eyes.

The leader of the soldiers guarding the city hurried over and reported respectfully.

"General Pang, this is the woman who has returned from Lord Chu's residence."

"Chu Shijie?"

"It's him, General."

The black man pulled the reins and the warhorse came to the side of the ox cart and glanced at Xi Niang who had lowered her head.

"Keep your head up."

The black man shouted.

Xi Niang was so frightened that her body trembled.

Lin Feng quickly took her into his arms and gently patted her back.

"General, please forgive me for being timid."

The black man looked at Lin Feng's quiet and handsome face, frowned and shouted.

“I told her to look up, but she doesn’t understand what I’m saying?”

There was no other way, so Lin Feng held Xi Niang's shoulders and asked her to raise her head gently.

The black man jumped off his warhorse, walked forward, reached out and pinched Xi Niang's jaw, making her face towards him.

Xi Niang was wearing red makeup, which set off her pale face and made her very conspicuous.

The black man chuckled and said, "Boy, do you know the rules of entering the city?"

Lin Feng said in panic: "General, I have paid the money."

The black man waved his hand, and the city guard leader hurried forward and approached Lin Feng and the other man.

"This is my General Pang. When a new bride enters the city, she must first stay overnight at the general's mansion."

Lin Feng was stunned: "What kind of rule is this?"

"This is our rule, otherwise..."

The little boss shook his head, meaning that you will be in trouble.

The Chu Mansion's housekeeper quickly approached the black man and whispered.

"General Pang, this is a relative of Mr. Chu's. I hope you will be tolerant and forgiving."

As he spoke, he secretly slipped a large ingot of silver over.

The black man looked at the housekeeper of the Chu Mansion, and then at Xi Niang.

"Forget it, just let me check it out."

As he spoke, his hand moved towards Xi Niang.

Lin Feng quickly hugged Xi Niang in his arms and dodged backwards.

He was afraid that Xi Niang would not be able to control herself and take action, thus ruining his plan.

The black man glared and was about to get angry when He Zhiwu's chief guard came to his side.

"General Pang, this young man is a relative of my general. Please be lenient with me."

He put on a smile, but stood in front of the ox cart, blocking the black man.

The black man didn't expect that the identities of the young couple were quite complicated.

He glanced around and chuckled.

He pointed at the ox cart and asked, "Have you checked everything carefully?"

The small leader of the Black Scarf Army bowed quickly in response.

"Don't worry, General Pang. Everything has been checked very carefully."

General Pang looked Wen Jian up and down again and saw that there was nothing wrong with him.

"In that case, let's go into the city and pretend that I've passed on this."

Several people bowed and saluted: "Thank you, General Pang."

However, the soldiers blocking the ox cart did not move aside, but just stared at the black man.

"Are you all dead? Come with me to the city to take a look."

The black man shouted, and all the soldiers immediately dispersed and stood on both sides.

Wen Jian had already grasped the hilt of the sword hidden in the shaft of the carriage.

As long as Lin Feng gave the order, he would chop off the black man's head first.

Now that the danger was gone, he patted the cow's butt and shouted at the old cow to move faster.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and slowly drove out of the city gate as the ox cart moved.

As soon as they entered the city, He Zhiwu's chief guard left.

The Chu family's housekeeper drove an ox cart all the way to the Chu family.

Chu Jiao was standing in front of the gate, looking forward to it.

From a distance, he saw the housekeeper leading an ox cart over, and immediately rushed forward and took a close look at Lin Feng and the other man.

He suppressed a smile and followed the ox cart.

"Hey, you two just got married, are you going back to your parents' home?"

Lin Feng nodded and said, "That's right, my wife has been making a fuss about coming back for the past two days."

"I just miss my mother."

"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. What's the point of thinking? From now on, you are mine."

Seeing that Lin Feng was pretending very well, Chu Jiao made a clicking sound.

"Tsk tsk, it's not easy to get a wife nowadays. Look how beautiful you are."

"Forget it, you're lucky to be able to marry someone like me."

The two chatted as they followed the ox cart into the Chu Mansion compound.

Lin Feng got out of the car, dusted off the dust on his body, and reached out to help Xi Niang down.

A family member immediately closed the door.

Chu Shijie hurried out of the guest hall and bowed to Lin Feng.

"Thank you, General."

Lin Feng smiled and replied, "Master Chu is the first to make such a contribution. Welcome back to the imperial court."

Chu Shijie was even happier when he heard him say this. The worry he had been feeling these days finally made him feel at ease.

"General Lin is truly a man of extraordinary bravery. His courage is truly admirable."

"Master Chu, thank you for your compliment."

The two of them walked into the living room with politeness.

Chu Shijie's family members are all loyal and trustworthy.

All those who were slightly worse off had left the Chu family to worship the Virgin Mary, earn money and eat for free, achieving their ideal state of life.

Therefore, Chu Shijie received Lin Feng without avoiding others.

Lin Feng was still a little confused. Wasn't this arrangement too frivolous?

Chu Shijie knew what he was thinking and laughed.

"These guys from the Black Scarf Army are all country bumpkins. They don't know anything about city defense, let alone fighting. They were defeated by General Lin in a battle, where over 40,000 of them were killed. They were severely weakened and have retreated to their camp, not daring to show their faces."

Wait for the servant to bring tea and leave.

Lin Fengcai said: "The Black Scarf Army is not good at fighting, but their minds are bewitched and they are fearless and unafraid of death. This is very troublesome."

Chu Jiao stood behind her father and said with disdain after hearing this.

"What's there to be afraid of? He's not afraid of death, so why should we be afraid of being too soft-handed?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "The government army is not as good as the Qingshui army. If they encounter such a battle, I'm afraid they will really be weak."

Chu Shijie asked in surprise: "Why, General Lin wants to use the government troops to deal with the Black Scarf Army?"

"The city is high and thick, making it difficult for the army to break through. This battle requires a combination of internal and external forces."

As he said this, he glanced at Chu Shijie.

"The city relies on the government troops."

Chu Shijie frowned: "Alas, I'm afraid Lao He's team is not strong enough."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "I am thinking about how to destroy the fighting spirit of the Black Scarf Army."

"Is this possible?"

Both father and daughter looked at Lin Feng in surprise.
