Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 261: More Cruel Than Bandits

Lin Feng sneered.

"Even if Du Lisheng hadn't been robbed, they wouldn't have let us return safely. I'm afraid they'd have spread the word long ago, and there are many people waiting to intercept us on the road."

"The west of the town is so vast, and outside the city is just endless wilderness. Once we leave the city, it will be like a fish returning to the sea."

"They will send people to keep an eye on us. No matter where we go, there will be a team nearby to intercept us."

"What should I do?"

Lin Feng sneered, "Just wait and see how I wade back."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Qiaomei had no choice but to direct the team to speed up and leave the city with doubts.

All the officials in the city received the news.

They stayed at home, shaking their heads and sighing.

How much did Lin Feng steal in the capital city?

There were only twenty horse-drawn carriages, and they were openly transporting the stolen goods back. This was even more cruel than bandits.

No one came out to see him off, and everyone was praying in their hearts that this devil would leave the city as soon as possible.

Lin Feng led four hundred elite cavalrymen out of the city from the north gate, and marched along the official road towards Lingdouzi.

They had a smooth journey and arrived at the Ten-Li Pavilion.

Lin Feng discovered that there were two women standing in the Ten-Li Pavilion.

There were also wine jugs, wine glasses and other items on the stone table in the pavilion.

When I got closer, I could see clearly that the two women were Liu Shuxue and Fan Rou.

There were several maids serving around, and seven or eight guards standing not far away, watching the movements around vigilantly.

Liu Shuxue and Fan Rou smiled and watched Lin Feng approaching.

Lin Feng waved his hand and asked the team to stop moving forward.

He urged his horse to the foot of the pavilion.

"General Lin, how about a farewell drink?"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, kicked off the saddle and jumped off the horse.

He strode into the pavilion.

Xie Zhong and many other guards immediately took their positions, facing outside the pavilion and observing the environment.

Zhao Shuo also followed Lin Feng into the pavilion.

Liu Shuxue filled the wine glass and held it in front of Lin Feng with both hands.

"General Lin, I'm afraid the road ahead will not be peaceful. Please drink this cup to the fullest. I wish you a safe return."

Lin Feng didn't say anything. Everyone in the city who had a little status knew that they would be in trouble if they went there.

He reached out to take the wine glass, clinked it with the two women, and tilted his head back to pour it into his mouth.

"Thank you, ladies, for coming to see me off at this time. I admire you."

"We women only care about friendship and have nothing to do with other things. Why wouldn't we dare to come and see you off?"

Fan Rou also filled Lin Feng's glass with wine and held it with both hands.

"Thank you for the poem, General. It has won Fanrou's heart."

Lin Feng took the wine glass and looked around.

"Alas, I, Lin, have only gained some popularity with women..."

Lin Feng sighed: "Thank you both ladies for seeing me off. I appreciate your kindness."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass.

He recited casually: "The saddest place in the world is the Ten-mile Farewell Pavilion. The spring breeze knows the pain of parting, so it won't let the willow branches turn green."

After reciting the poem, he threw away the wine glass and bowed to the two women.

"Let's go, take care."

After saying this, he walked out of the pavilion and mounted his horse.

The cavalry immediately started moving and rumbled forward.

Liu Shuxue and Fan Rou stared blankly at the group of people as they stirred up a cloud of dust and went away.

"Sister, whose poem is this?"

Fan Rou asked blankly with tears in her eyes.

Liu Shuxue was muttering poems and was in a daze for a moment.

Lin Feng led his men and horses forward for less than fifty miles when they saw a group of black spots standing on the official road in the distance ahead.

Zhao Shuo quickly shouted, "Brother, there's something going on up ahead. Should we pause?"

Lin Feng controlled his horse to a slow pace and casually took out a long tube from the leather bag beside the saddle.

Put the telescope to your eyes and look at the crowd in the distance.

This is the telescope that he spent many days to make.

He collected seven or eight crystal stones, but they were all ruined by him, so he figured out how to make several grinding tools and materials.

Only then were two suitable convex lenses ground out and the distance and angle adjusted to the right level.

Finally made the first telescope.

The effect is very good. A group of dark figures in the distance are immediately brought into view through the telescope.

Then I saw a general in the lead, wearing neat armor and holding a sword.

He stood majestically in the middle of the official road, looking ahead calmly.

Lin Feng had a bitter smile on his face.

What trouble is this Chu Jiao going to cause with so many knights?

Zhao Shuo was scratching his head anxiously. He really wanted to see what Lin Feng was doing.

What’s so magical about the thing in Lin Feng’s hand?

"Brother, brother, let me see, what is that?"

Lin Feng had seen it clearly and handed the telescope to Zhao Shuo.

"Be careful, don't let me break it."

"Hey, hey, don't worry, big brother."

Zhao Shuo carefully took the telescope and first saw that it was a cylinder made of ebony.

It feels heavy, smooth and delicate.

Then he imitated Lin Feng and raised the cylinder in front of his eyes.

Just one glance and he almost threw the cylinder away.

"Fuck, what the hell?"

Lin Feng had anticipated this and grabbed the cylinder in his hand.

"You're trying to ruin my hard work!"

Zhao Shuo blinked and looked at the cylinder in Lin Feng's hand in surprise.

"Brother, what is this?"

"clairvoyance."

"There's nothing alive in there, right? Let me take another look?"

"go away."

Lin Qiaomei was giggling on the side.

"Brother, I'm not afraid. Let me take a look."

"I'm warning you, if you break it, you'll be whipped."

"Yeah, don't worry, brother. Even if I fall, I can't fall your baby."

Lin Qiaomei carefully took the clairvoyance and held it up to her eyes.

She was not much stronger than Zhao Shuo, and she was so scared that she almost let go.

However, she was strong in her heart and gritted her teeth to resist the fear.

Unconvinced, he put the clairvoyance to his eyes again and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, Chu Jiao's cavalry, which was two or three miles away, seemed to be right in front of them.

Even Chu Jiao's hair blown by the wind was noticed by her.

Lin Qiaomei opened her mouth wide, not caring about the saliva flowing out.

"Brother, brother, what...what is this?"

Lin Feng took the clairvoyance back from her and put it carefully into his leather pocket.

"I said it was clairvoyance, but can you see clearly?"

"Hmm, I can see it very clearly. I wonder if you have super hearing?"

"Of course I have the ability to hear the wind, but I just don't have the time to use it."

Lin Qiaomei and Zhao Shuo looked Lin Feng up and down, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Everyone felt that this person must be a god sent by God.

As the distance got closer, Chu Jiao brought people forward to meet them.

The two sides met on the official road and each stopped their cavalry.

Chu Jiao waved to Lin Feng, turned her horse around, and ran to the field nearby.

Lin Fengchong waved his hand behind him, indicating that there was no need to follow him.

The two ran more than half a mile and then stopped.

Chu Jiao looked at Lin Feng with complicated eyes and pondered for a while.

"Lin Feng, you can't go any further."

Lin Feng didn't say anything either, just waited quietly for her to speak.

"Because...someone ahead wants to kill you."

"how do you know?"

"I... heard rumors that someone is trying to harm you. Let's take a different route."

Lin Feng touched the stubble on his chin with a smile on his face.

"why?"

Chu Jiao said impatiently: "How would I know why? You must have offended someone."

"I'm asking, why did you come to tell me?"

Chu Jiao stared at Lin Feng hatefully.
