Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 393 Huge Temptation

He Zhiwu smiled bitterly.

"Haha, I'm not saying I'm willing to do this... I'm definitely not, but I can't help it. These days are... difficult."

"Brother He, you have 10,000 soldiers under your command. Why don't you support the people of the city?"

Chu Shijie asked.

He Zhiwu glared: "Why do these people need our support? The Holy Mother is enough. They are all like possessed."

"People have suffered enough, and they are trying to numb themselves."

"Doing business improperly is all about crooked ways."

Chu Shijie asked tentatively: "Brother He, have you ever thought about returning to orthodoxy?"

He Zhiwu was stunned and looked at Chu Shijie.

"What do you mean, Brother Chu?"

Chu Shijie leaned close to his ear and said, "Now that the emperor has bestowed upon Lin Fengzhong the title of Earl of Yuan, and he possesses the ability to govern the country, Brother He has the military power as leverage, so why worry about not being valued?"

He Zhiwu pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Chu, let's just talk behind closed doors. I want to return to the orthodox way. Unfortunately, there are some disagreements between me and Lin Feng, so I'm afraid he won't accept it."

Chu Shijie shook his head. "The capital city is now in chaos because of the Black Turban Society. Qingshui District has a clean political system and prosperous people. We can all see that. Lin Feng is also planning to take over the capital city and unify the western part of Zhenxi. If we can add a little help, it will be a great achievement. Why worry about the future?"

He Zhiwu sneered, "That's easy to say, but who would dare to gamble their life on this future?"

"Why do you speak like that?"

"What kind of behavior does Lin Feng have? He is decisive and ruthless. We have no evidence, so how dare we easily go after him?"

Chu Shijie smiled and said, "Lin Feng's style of doing things is exactly what we need as a leader. Since he has made great contributions, why should we be afraid that he will harm us?"

"Stop it, we can still survive for now, but if we fall into Lin Feng's hands, we will be beheaded if we are not careful."

He Zhiwu took the wine and drank it in one gulp, then sighed deeply.

"To be honest, Brother He, my daughter Chu Jiao works under Lin Feng, so she can introduce him to us."

"Well, I have heard about this. It's best to be cautious with children's words and not believe them completely."

He Zhiwu was unmoved.

Chu Shijie smiled bitterly: "Brother He, are we really going to survive here for a while? Once Lin Feng's Qingshui Army breaks through the city, it will be too late to beg for life."

"At worst, I can just take the government troops and flee. I have people under my command, so I won't suffer any loss wherever I go."

Chu Shijie shook his head and said, "Without a foundation, how can you feed so many troops? No matter where you go, you have to rely on others to feed them, and you will lose control of the army."

He Zhiwu knew how serious this was, but he just had no confidence in Lin Feng.

After thinking for a while, he frowned and looked at Chu Shijie.

"Brother Chu, it's not impossible to betray someone, it just requires a promise."

Chu Shijie stared at him closely: "What kind of promise does Brother He need?"

He Zhiwu and Chu Shijie stared at each other like fighting cocks.

It was unknown how long it took before He Zhiwu slowly spoke.

"I need Lin Feng to personally promise that I, He Zhiwu, will be under the command of the Qingshui Corps with 10,000 soldiers."

Chu Shijie slowly sat up straight and thought.

"You've surrendered to Lin Feng, but you still want to retain the power to command 10,000 palace soldiers?"

"Humph, otherwise, if they want to kill me, it will be as easy as killing a chicken."

"Are you really going to surrender?"

"With just one word of promise from Lin Feng, I know Wu will not let him down."

This is also because He Zhiwu and Chu Shijie have known each other for many years and trust each other, so he can say this frankly.

Seeing his determined expression, Chu Shijie thought for a long time and then let out a breath.

"Alright, let my daughter pass on this message and see what Lin Feng has to say."

He Zhiwu nervously grabbed Chu Shijie's hand.

"Brother Chu, our lives and fortunes are at stake here. You must be careful, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, I'm doing my job, what are you worried about? We're already in the same boat."

Chu Shijie patted the back of his hand and comforted him.

"Okay, that's it. I've had enough of these bastards. They're bullying me."

Only after he had spoken out his worries did He Zhiwu feel relieved and cursed loudly.

But in his heart, it was impossible for Lin Feng to come to the capital city in person just to make a promise to him.

However, if he hadn't seen Lin Feng's promise with his own eyes, He Zhiwu would never be able to let go of his worries.

Chu Shijie also believed that Lin Feng would not come to the provincial capital.

How could a supreme commander risk such a huge risk and come here just to say a word?

But now that things have come to this, let’s see how Lin Feng handles it.

After Chu Jiao received the news from her father, she immediately passed the information to Wei Bao's intelligence personnel as agreed.

Within two days, this information reached Lin Feng.

Lin Feng stared at the contents of the intelligence and was speechless for a long time.

Bai Jing came over curiously, took a look, and was immediately shocked.

"Brother, don't do anything stupid. The city is now under the full control of the Black Scarf Army. Once you are trapped there, it will be difficult to escape."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "You think too highly of the Black Scarf Army."

"Hey, you really have this idea in mind. What if it's a trap?"

Lin Feng frowned and said, "According to the news sent back by Wei Bao, the capital city is in chaos. The Black Scarf Army has no regard for the lives of others and is obsessed with recruiting members. The former officials and generals of the capital city are very dissatisfied."

"That's just an opinion, it doesn't prove they want to turn against us."

Lin Feng said patiently, "Look, if He Zhiwu leads 10,000 provincial troops to rebel, we can capture the provincial capital without sacrificing a single soldier. Why not do it?"

"It's a trap, brother. This is a trap."

Lin Feng spread his hands and said, "No one knows whether I'm going to the capital or not."

"I, I knew it."

Bai Jing patted her chest and said anxiously.

Lin Feng looked at her in surprise: "Did I tell you that I was going to the capital city?"

"You...I...didn't."

"Haha, that's right. I don't even know if I want to make this trip, let alone others."

Bai Jing still refused to accept the temptation: "Faced with such temptation, most people would be fooled."

"Am I an ordinary person?"

Bai Jing lowered her head and said, "Brother is not, but...I am."

Lin Feng said patiently: "Those who can survive in this chaotic world are not ordinary people. They all think that I, Lin Feng, will not be fooled by this."

"so what?"

"Haha, so...I can't either."

Bai Jing breathed a sigh of relief and twisted Lin Feng's waist with her hands in a reproachful manner.

"I'll only be happy if you scare me to death, right?"

Lin Feng raised his hands in surrender: "I was wrong, I was wrong. Now send a message to Qin Fang and ask him to join forces with Chu Jiao to do ideological work on He Zhiwu."

Bai Jing retracted her hand and agreed: "Yes, Qin Fang's father is the boss of the Yuanfu Army. They should be able to trust each other."

Lin Feng sighed: "Don't take it too lightly. The Black Scarf Army may not have any skills, but they are truly capable of dying."

"Well, ten thousand versus thirty thousand, that's really mysterious."

Lin Feng suddenly frowned and asked, "Where are the border troops? Aren't there still 4,000 border troops?"

Bai Jing also said: "No news for now, let Wei Bao continue to investigate?"

"Okay, go and convey the order."

Bai Jing turned around to inform the intelligence personnel waiting outside the house.

At this time, Li Xinyan, who was standing at the door, poked her head in and looked at Lin Feng with her bright eyes.

"Brother Lin, you want to go to the capital, right?"
