Frontier Army Warrior

This also involved bandits, and several people were immediately interested.

The shopkeeper sighed and continued.

"There's a mountain called Kuiwu Mountain to the north of our Bin County. There's a powerful bandit group on the mountain. Because we're so close, they often come here to harass us."

Bai Jing asked curiously, "Why are there so many people living in the city?"

"Haha, these bandits don't kill us all, but they always come to collect protection fees. They collect more than taxes, and many people can hardly survive."

"Doesn't the county magistrate care?"

"The bandits are so powerful that the county government dares not intervene."

The shopkeeper shook his head and couldn't continue.

At this time, the waiter brought up a pot of meat and placed it on the table.

"The county magistrate is in cahoots with them."

He lowered his voice.

Everyone at the table was captivated by the aroma of the meat and no longer cared about the bandit or the county magistrate.

Lin Feng hadn't smelled such a delicious meat for a long time.

He asked while picking up the meat with chopsticks.

"Waiter, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good."

"Sir, this is our restaurant's signature dish, stewed mutton offal. Please try it. Be careful, it's hot."

Seeing Lin Feng pick up his chopsticks, others also started to eat.

When the stewed lamb enters your mouth, a wonderful aroma rushes straight to your head.

"Hey, this is how life should be."

Hu Jincai stuffed mutton in his mouth and spoke vaguely.

A basin-sized bowl of mutton offal was eaten up in almost no time.

Several people squinted their eyes in satisfaction, enjoying themselves as if they were in a fairyland.

Hu Jincai picked up the basin, buried his face in it, and licked the residue at the bottom of the basin.

The waiter looked at them in confusion, wondering in his heart.

This guy isn't that great. He just has a bowl of mutton offal and doesn't look like someone who has seen the world.

Lin Feng was a little more sober and waved to the waiter.

"Go find the owner of the carriage inn and tell him we want to rent four carriages. The rent is generous."

The waiter nodded in agreement, first went to the kitchen to bring over a jar of wine, then turned around and ran out of the store.

A braised pig's head was served later, bringing the banquet to a climax.

Several people were eating with their mouths full of oil.

Bai Jing's pretty face was also covered with grease, and she had long forgotten her ladylike image.

Only Lin Feng was there, drinking wine and eating vegetables.

Remind a few people while eating and drinking.

"Be more reserved. Eating like this will upset your stomach."

"Boss, even if I die of stuffing later, I'm willing to do that."

Li Xiong muttered and chewed non-stop.

Lin Feng shook his head. These people ate coarse grains all day long, and if they suddenly had a big meal of meat, they would definitely have diarrhea.

Seeing how satisfied and happy they were, I couldn't stop them forcefully, as it would make me seem too stingy.

When we were almost done with the meal, the waiter came in with a man in his forties.

"Sir, this is the owner of Tushun Coach and Horse Inn in this county, Yu Shuntu, Boss Yu."

Although the man in his forties looked sad, he was very polite.

Bow to everyone.

"Where are you renting a car to go? What are you going to do?"

Li Xiong finally remembered his mission and put down the half pig ear in his hand.

"Boss Yu, our boss needs to transport some food. Four carriages will do."

Boss Yu narrowed his eyes. In this kind of year, transporting grain is very risky.

"Four carts of food, they must be transported by a convoy, right?"

Li Xiong said impatiently, "Why are you talking so much? Just tell me how much money you want."

"My dear guests, this is not a matter of money. If you want to transport food, you can't go far without forty or fifty escorts."

"How far we go is my business, you just rent a car."

Boss Yu sighed: "I'm sorry everyone, but I don't have a single car."

Li Xiong slammed the table in anger.

"Why are you asking so many questions when you don't have a car? Are you messing with me?"

"How could I dare to make a scene? I'm just afraid that both the car and the people will be lost."

"Please explain clearly, otherwise..."

Li Xiong stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and glared at Boss Yu.

Boss Yu smiled bitterly, moved closer to Li Xiong, and whispered.

"Sir, if you rent a car to transport grain with such fanfare, you won't be able to get out of the territory of Bing County. You'd better go back."

"You mean, the bandits have spies here?"

Boss Yu shook his hands wildly.

"I didn't say that. I really don't have a car to rent to you. Goodbye."

After he said that, he hurriedly walked out of the wine shop and disappeared as if he was escaping.

Li Xiong turned his head blankly to look at Lin Feng.

"What are you looking at? We'll go to his shop later."

"That's right, is bullying us men any kinder than being a bandit?"

The few of them didn't care and continued drinking and eating meat.

When the four of them were exhausted from eating and drinking, Lin Feng let Bai Jing pay the bill and leave.

The waiter took the money and quickly retreated behind the counter with a half-smile on his face.

Just as they were puzzled, suddenly, seven or eight men dressed as yamen runners rushed in from the door.

Several yamen runners held shackles and iron bars, and some held swords.

As soon as they entered the door, they surrounded Lin Feng and others.

A yamen runner shook the chains in his hand, making a rattling sound.

"Everyone, I heard you guys came down from the mountain. Come with us."

Although Lin Feng and others changed their attire, they still carried their bows and swords with them.

The seven or eight yamen runners stared at them vigilantly with their weapons in hand, and would take action immediately if any of them made any unusual movements.

Li Xiong sneered, "Hey, guys, who told you we came down from the mountains?"

"No matter who said it, someone reported you guys as bandits."

Li Xiong turned his head to look at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at the yamen runners. They were all young and strong, except for the leader who was in his thirties.

"It would be a shame if these people didn't join the army."

All he sees now are able-bodied men, because he is short of manpower.

Bai Jing immediately waved her hand: "They all took it and joined the army."

As he spoke, he pulled the scimitar from his waist and rushed forward with the sheath still on.

Li Xiong and Hu Jincai did not hesitate, each raised a sheathed knife and started smashing things.

These people have fought the Tartars to their death, so they are naturally different from the yamen runners who usually scare the people.

Three against eight, the small wine shop was smashed to pieces.

Lin Feng picked up the wine bowl and sat at the table watching.

A yamen runner came from the corner, raised the iron bar in his hand and hit Lin Feng on the head.

But before his iron bar was even halfway there, he was kicked in the stomach.

He felt his stomach churn and fell to the ground in severe pain.

Lin Feng didn't even look at him. He retracted his foot and placed it on his other leg, shaking.

In half a quarter of an hour, all eight yamen runners lay on the ground, twisting their bodies and wailing.

The three of them might be no match for the Tartars, but when they fought these guys, they felt very relaxed and their attacks were clean and efficient.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the waiter wanted to run to the back.

But he was not as fast as Hu Jincai. He was dragged back as soon as he ran to the door and thrown into the ground, crawling in front of Lin Feng's desk.

Lin Feng glanced at the shopkeeper who was still standing calmly at the counter.

"This is a black shop. What did the owner say?"

The shopkeeper's right hand was fiddling with the abacus, his face gloomy.

"If you can't get out of the city, you'd better surrender as soon as possible and hand over your belongings. Maybe you can still survive."

Bai Jing laughed and said, "It seems that the entire Bin County has become a den of bandits."

"With the Tartars rampaging, being a bandit might save your life, but being an honest commoner will only lead to death."

"Why don't you try to fight the Tartars? Instead, they only harm the people."

"Haha, if the Tartars were easy to defeat, tens of thousands of border troops wouldn't be hiding in the main camp and not daring to show their heads."

Lin Feng waved to Bai Jing silently.

Bai Jing and he had a very good understanding. She immediately took off the bow and arrow on her back and handed it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took the bow and arrow, put on the bowstring, and put a feather arrow on it.

He pulled the bow with both arms and aimed at the shopkeeper behind the counter.
