Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 224 Adding Fuel to the Fire

"Hey, let me tell you, things are different now. I've been through rigorous training, and my skills are extraordinary."

Zhao Shuo said proudly with his face raised.

"Pfft, you're the one who gets beaten the most."

"Su Yun is worse than me, okay."

"Bullshit, I can run fast."

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. Those guys acted as if no one was around and didn't take them, the officers, seriously at all.

"Zhao Shuo, take them out to play."

Zhao Shuo then remembered that this was a formal diplomatic occasion.

He waved at a few people and said, "Go away, don't get in the way here."

"Who's in there?"

"Tartar, I'm here to negotiate."

"What's the point?"

"Buy a prisoner."

Several people walked out of the courtyard gate muttering to themselves.

Finally, peace returned to the guest hall of the inn.

Lin Feng smiled at Zhai Duozhi: "Haha, young people, you are very unruly."

"Ahem, it's all the same, it's all the same."

After a brief silence, Zhai Duozhi spoke again.

"General Lin, look at this price..."

"Your army really can't withdraw from the border?"

"This is really impossible."

Lin Feng pretended to be in deep thought, and after a while, he gritted his teeth.

"How about doubling the gold, silver, and treasures you brought with you?"

Zhai Duozhi was a little confused. The gold, silver and treasures they brought were already very heavy, and doubling the amount would be a bit too much.

Natan was so angry that his chest almost exploded. With a choking sound, he pulled the sword out of the sheath again.

"Boy, you're going too far. I'm going to chop off your head right now!"

As he spoke, he leaned forward.

The guest hall was spacious, and the two parties sat facing each other, with a distance of only three to five meters.

Xie Zhong and Li Hu stood behind Lin Feng, and they just leaned forward with their bodies tense.

Lin Fengze was calm and composed, still smiling.

He held up the teacup and sipped it with his head down.

Natan took only one step forward when he was stopped by the middle-aged Tartar behind him.

His strong body was still struggling and twisting, and the scimitar in his hand was shaking, dazzling the eyes.

Zhai Duozhi shouted to stop him.

"Natan, don't be rude. If you do that again, you will be punished by military law!"

Nathan's face flushed and he started shouting loudly.

"Old man, this deal is simply not worth doing. Let them bully us. It's better to fight to the death."

"How dare you mess around here! Tie me up!"

The two Tartars standing behind him strode forward and held Natan down.

Natan's machete was taken away and his arm was twisted behind his back.

He stood stubbornly, glaring at Zhai Duozhi fiercely.

"Drag him outside and give him ten lashes."

Zhai Duozhi said angrily.

"Old Zhai, how dare you! You and Dazong are in cahoots, you're a traitor..."

I saw two Tartars grabbing Natan and pushing him out.

Lin Feng chuckled: "Mr. Zhai, one more condition."

Everyone was stunned. Why are there any conditions?

Zhai Duozhi smiled bitterly and asked, "General Lin, we are here with great sincerity, please don't joke around."

Lin Feng pointed at Natan and said, "Double the gold and silver, plus this kid."

Natan, who had been pushed to the door, had stopped cursing.

He was almost appeased by his two accomplices.

Who would have thought that when they heard Lin Feng's words, it was as if a pot of kerosene was poured into a fire, and it exploded.

He struggled to break free from the restraints of the two Tartars, turned over and rushed towards Lin Feng.

The two Tartars failed to hold Natan firmly, so they immediately turned around and rushed towards him, trying to capture him again.

But in the eyes of everyone in the room, it became three people, all rushing towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng licked his lips, still with a smile on his face.

"Get them."

Just when the three Tartars were about ten feet away from Lin Feng, the guards standing around raised their crossbows with a clatter.

Zhai Duozhi suddenly stood up, stretched out his hands, and opened his mouth.

Before any sound is made.

The bowstrings rang, and seven or eight crossbow arrows pierced the three running Tatars.

Even if they wore armor, they couldn't stop the crossbow arrows, not to mention that all three of them were in plain clothes.

The three Tartars' legs were immediately pierced with crossbow arrows, and they fell forward to the ground.

Lin Feng held the teacup in his hand, raised it steadily to his lips, and took a sip.

He lowered his head and looked at Natan who had fallen in front of him.

"How dare you assassinate this general? You are really too bold."

Zhai Duozhi quickly shouted: "General Lin, this is Natan's business alone, not ours..."

Lin Feng raised his hand to stop him from speaking.

"Catch them all and interrogate them thoroughly first."

A dozen guards immediately pointed their crossbows at Zhai Duozhi and the middle-aged Tartar, while others stepped forward, took out their cowhide ropes, and reached out to grab the two men.

The middle-aged Tartar couldn't bear it any longer, took a half step back, and drew his sword from its sheath.

He shouted the absolute truth loudly, looking very excited.

Lin Feng looked at him coldly.

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."

Zhai Duozhi quickly turned around and explained to the middle-aged Tartar.

The middle-aged Tartar finally calmed down. Surrounded by crossbows, he dared not resist anymore.

Four or five guards rushed over, pinned the two men to the ground, and tied them up with cowhide ropes.

The guards also tied up the three Tartars who were shot by arrows.

Lin Feng then stood up and walked out of the house.

"Let this general see your sincerity."

In the yard, there were three carriages brought by Zhai Duozhi, and two Tartar soldiers stood in front of each carriage.

To show their sincerity, all the soldiers only carried scimitars and no other weapons.

The Tartars standing beside the carriage looked at Lin Feng approaching at a loss.

They also heard the noise in the house and knew that something was wrong.

However, I didn't see my boss come out, and I didn't know what to do.

Lin Feng didn't care what they were thinking and walked to the carriage.

All three vehicles were covered with tarpaulins, so the contents couldn't be seen.

There were also two carriages with tents, and inside the carriages were probably the large number of beauties that Zhai Duozhi had mentioned.

Lin Feng did not check the carriage. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand to let everyone step back.

Better safe than sorry, don't capsize in this ditch.

"Send a troop of soldiers over here to keep an eye on these."

Immediately, a guard went out to deliver the message.

Not long after, a team of fifty soldiers ran in with guns.

The Tatars surrounded the five carriages and the ones in front of them, with their spears pointed inward, watching vigilantly for any unusual movements inside and outside the carriages.

Lin Feng raised his chin: "Go and have a look, be careful."

Xie Zhong immediately stepped forward and approached the carriage cautiously.

After lifting the oilcloth, we saw several large wooden boxes piled on the carriage.

Opening the top wooden box, I saw that it was neatly filled with gold ingots.

It shines brightly under the sunlight.

Lin Feng heard the exclamations of the surrounding soldiers.

Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts, and this is the same everywhere.

After inspecting the five carriages, nothing unusual was found. The Tartars came sincerely to redeem Nalan.

Lin Feng could also think that with him in charge, the Tartars would have little chance of using force to take back Nalan.

The current situation is a bit troublesome, the person has been captured by myself.

It is impossible to return the property to them.

If that doesn't work, just use the excuse that they intend to assassinate you and get both the person and the money.

While Lin Feng was thinking of a plan, those second-generation officials came back from somewhere they had been playing.

They were all in high spirits and walked into the yard shouting.

When they saw the cart full of gold and silver, they all started to exclaim in surprise.

"Wow, that's a lot of gold!"

"Hey, there are beauties too."

"This jewelry is nice."

Several people gathered around the carriage, looking at it in surprise and commenting on it.
