Chapter 314: Blood boiling
Bai Jing smiled.
"I'm afraid my brother will be seduced by her beauty."
Lin Feng reached out and pinched Bai Jing's jade-white cheek.
"With you by my side, I can't do anything."
Bai Jing said coquettishly: "Humph, I can avoid it."
"Haha, it's just a joke. It's a matter of principle and cannot be violated."
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
As they were talking, a soldier came in to report that Cui Ying and his cavalry of 200 had arrived at the city.
Cui Ying walked in slowly, looking pitiful.
Her pretty face and charming figure make her even more pitiful.
Especially men.
Bai Jing brought her tea and stood quietly behind Lin Feng with her eyes lowered.
The room was quiet, with only the sound of a few people breathing.
After a long silence, seeing that Lin Feng didn't speak, Cui Ying spoke helplessly.
"Lin Feng, if you let my father go, I...I can agree to any of your...conditions..."
After Cui Ying finished speaking, his face turned as red as a ripe apple.
Any man could understand what she meant by that.
Bai Jing couldn't help but glance at Cui Ying, feeling uneasy.
She was not jealous of Cui Ying's beauty, but was worried that Cui Ying's attitude at this time would affect Lin Feng's judgment.
After hearing what Cui Ying said, Lin Feng gently picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"sure."
Bai Jing and Cui Ying were both shocked at the same time. Why did he agree so readily?
Cui Ying's beautiful big eyes suddenly shone with light and she stared at Lin Feng intently.
"Really? Are you telling the truth?"
Her voice was trembling.
"Of course it's true. General Cui is an important official of the court. How can we insult him so easily?"
Lin Feng smiled.
Cui Ying immediately smiled like a flower, filling the room with spring atmosphere.
Bai Jing's heart was in turmoil. Why did Lin Feng go back on his word? He just said that he would stick to his bottom line, but when he saw the beautiful woman, he immediately collapsed.
A sour feeling rushed up from the bottom of my heart, but I just bit my lips tightly and held back from speaking.
"Lin Feng, then quickly order your Qingshui Army to withdraw?"
Cui Ying fiddled with a jade pendant on her chest with her two jade-like little hands, and spoke shyly.
She was very proud and had always been quite confident about her beauty.
This time, Lin Feng's attitude towards her was further verified, which made her very satisfied.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "No need to retreat, go back and tell General Cui that you can take a thousand guards and withdraw from the Qingshui Army camp to the interior of Zhenxi."
"what?"
Cui Ying was stunned.
"How could you... do this..."
She was unable to react for a moment and stammered.
Bai Jing almost laughed out loud at this moment.
This Lin Feng is playing word games on such an important matter. How mean.
I suddenly felt relaxed all over.
Lin Feng explained, "I will not touch General Cui, and neither will you. However, please forgive me for not letting the other border troops go."
Cui Ying suddenly became anxious.
"But, but Lin Feng, my father has lost his border troops..."
Lin Feng said lightly.
"He could go to the capital and live as a leisurely rich man, with children and grandchildren around him in the future. What a wonderful life that would be."
Cui Ying couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment.
Lin Feng sneered, "Don't tell me you don't know about the collusion between several high-ranking officers of the border army and the Tartars. They embezzled military funds, deceived their superiors and subordinates, and exploited the blood and sweat of the soldiers. They don't deserve to die. Is there any justice in this world?"
Cui Ying was speechless.
Of course, she was well aware of the private behavior of Song Yi, Kong Jin, Li Yu and others.
Although I felt disgusted, my father didn't say anything and I was powerless to do anything.
"Giving you, the Cui family father and daughter, a break is my last resort. If your father wants to live and die with the border troops, then I will also grant him that wish."
After saying that, he stared at Cui Ying's delicate face.
"However, let me be frank. Perhaps the soldiers on the border will all survive. The only ones who will die with your father are those who colluded with the Tartars to rebel against the imperial court."
Cui Ying opened his mouth, but still felt that he had no words to refute.
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Report as soon as possible. Let your father decide what to do next."
Cui Yingmu stood up blankly, turned his head and body, and walked out of the door with mechanical steps.
Lin Feng sat there without moving and let out a long breath.
"Cui Ying, you only have three days."
After watching Cui Ying's figure disappear at the door, Bai Jing praised with a smile.
"Brother, you are so handsome. What you said is so moving and makes my blood boil."
Lin Feng looked at Bai Jing's quiet face and smiled.
"Yeah, I did feel a surge of energy behind me just now. Someone almost attacked me."
Bai Jing rolled her eyes at him.
"Hate it, brother, why are you so annoying?"
After saying that, she pouted and turned her body to clear the tea tray.
Cui Ying returned to the border army camp. She was unable to explain what had happened to her father, so she locked herself in the tent and refused to see anyone.
When Cui Yong heard the maid report that the eldest lady had returned but did not come to see him, he knew that the talks had fallen through.
However, he was determined to have a decisive battle with Lin Feng.
That night, the Qingshui Army continued its previous propaganda campaign. More than a dozen loudspeakers circled the border army camp and started shouting almost at the same time.
The border army officers, who had been busy all night, patrolled again for half the night.
They felt that even though they had been shouting for such a long time, the border soldiers did not make any movement, so they estimated that no soldier would dare to escape from the camp.
Coupled with physical and mental exhaustion, he gave up the idea of continuing patrolling.
Unexpectedly, after midnight, many soldiers saw that there were no patrol inspection teams outside, and the bold ones began to plan the feasibility of crossing the camp and joining the Qing water army.
At the edge of the camp fence were the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion of Type B.
There were twelve soldiers sleeping in one tent, including Jia.
A border army general named Tao Jinwang was from Shaliu Village, Qingshui County, not too far from Lingdouzi.
He had heard many miraculous legends about Lin Feng, and he also knew that the generous treatment of the Qingshui Army was not fake.
He has many fellow countrymen in the Qingshui Army.
Seeing that the Qingshui Army surrounded the border army camp, he began to think about it.
The border army officers were cruel and ruthless, and they exploited the soldiers without mercy.
This has become an unspoken rule. If you become an officer in the border army and do not engage in corruption and exploitation, you will not be able to integrate into the officer class.
After enduring for many years, Tao Jinwang finally realized that in the border army, if your family doesn't have much wealth, you can forget about it. It's a dark and hopeless life with no hope of making a breakthrough.
Now that I hear the Qingshui Army’s propaganda, I feel that this is a great opportunity.
Tao Jinwang secretly encouraged several familiar soldiers.
Unexpectedly, they hit it off immediately and were already fed up with this kind of hard life.
After secret discussion, a dozen fellow villagers got together.
Tao Jinwang, with Tao Dazhuang and Tao Erhu from the same village as him, gathered nearly thirty soldiers.
He quietly packed his luggage and climbed over the camp fence while the night was still dark.
According to the request of the Qingshui Army, they put a piece of white clothes on a wooden stick, climbed over the trench, and rushed towards the Qingshui Army camp opposite.
Thirty to forty thousand border troops.
They are not the only bold ones.
Tao Jinwang and others were the first to turn from evil to good.
After they were taken into the camp, they were immediately warmly received by the Qingshui Army.
Then, after drinking only a bowl of hot water, he turned around and walked to the front of the camp, took over the trumpet from other soldiers, and began to persuade his brothers to surrender.
This effect is several times better than before.
