Frontier Army Warrior

Bai Jing covered her mouth and smiled: "That's also because my brother taught me well."

Wen Cheng asked from the side: "General, do you want to write down all these words?"

Lin Feng scolded him, "Nonsense! Don't waste your pen and ink. I told you to remember the time before you start writing. Did you understand?"

"clear."

As they were talking, they heard a man coming towards them cursing.

"Where's Old Lu? Why didn't he come out to greet me? What the hell is this? What the hell is this rule? Why are you showing off in front of me..."

An officer strode into the lobby of the county government office.

Behind him were two soldiers with swords.

The man was in his thirties, with a dark complexion and a strong appearance.

"Who are you? Where's Old Lu?"

Lin Feng didn't stand up either, but frowned at the officer in front of him.

"and who are you?"

"Centurion Ma Fengtang of the Border Army has brought the military rations here. Why don't you quickly ask Old Lu to arrange for food and lodging?"

"Zhixian Lu is out on business, and the affairs of Bin County will be temporarily handled by Lin."

Ma Fengtang shook his hand and didn't question it: "I don't care who's acting as agent, just get the grain carts into the city immediately, otherwise if something goes wrong, neither you nor I can bear the consequences."

“Food trucks can enter the city, but troops cannot.”

Ma Fengtang glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? Are you asking my brothers to spend the night outside?"

"During wartime, we have no choice but to let our brothers suffer."

"Hey kid, do you know who you're talking to?"

"Border Army Centurion Ma Fengtang."

"You...good boy, you dare to disobey military orders?"

Lin Feng said calmly, "This county is carrying out the orders of the Zhenxi Protectorate."

Ma Fengtang blinked his eyes, saw a chair on one side of the lobby, walked over and sat down.

"How about bringing the grain carts into the city with a hundred soldiers guarding them?"

"Fifty soldiers."

"You...Okay, okay, that's it."

Ma Fengtang was helpless, as he was under someone's roof, and Magistrate Lu was not there.

He sent the soldier out to pass on the message, and then patted the armrest of the chair.

"What about tea? Is this how you treat guests?"

"Bing County is poor, there's not enough food to eat, how can there be tea and water?"

Ma Fengtang was stunned for a moment.

"Okay, since we're talking about food, we're going out to collect food this time. We have a total of 25 carts, and we're still short of five carts of military rations. I've already agreed with Old Lu that we'll get the food from our Bin County. You should know about this, right?"

"This county doesn't know."

"what?"

Ma Fengtang jumped up from his chair.

"You don't even know about such a big thing. Where did you come from?"

Bai Jing shouted loudly, "Ma Fengtang, you are very brave to speak to the county magistrate like that."

Ma Fengtang was stunned: "County Magistrate? What happened to Old Lu?"

Then he waved his hand and said, "I don't care what your grandfather is. Five carts of military rations cannot be missing a single grain, otherwise you will be punished by military law."

“There’s not a grain of food here.”

With a clang, Ma Fengtang pulled out half of his sword and shouted with glaring eyes.

"I think you are tired of living."

Lin Feng remained silent, but Lin Qiaomei, who was standing on the side, flipped her hand and pulled the bow.

She moved quickly, completing the steps of nodding the arrow and drawing the bow in an instant.

Ma Fengtang was about five or six steps away from Lin Qiaomei, which was within the shooting range of the soft bow.

"Hey, you dare to fight me?"

Ma Fengtang looked at the bow and arrow in Lin Qiaomei's hand in surprise.

These local officials always treated their border troops with great respect and served them with delicious food and drink.

I've never seen anyone so tough.

He flicked his thumb behind him.

"I have three hundred foot soldiers waiting at the city gate. With one order, I can capture and punish all of you."

His eyes moved around the faces of Lin Feng and others, observing them.

"Ma Fengtang, this county suspects that you are a fake border soldier."

Ma Fengtang took out his badge from his waist and raised it up.

"Do I really need to pretend to hold such a military position? If I'm going to pretend, I should at least be a general."

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Captain Ma, there's not a single grain left of the food you were supposed to collect. You'll stay here for one night and leave tomorrow. There are bandits here, so it's not peaceful at night. Don't forget the county's reminder."

Ma Fengtang was dumbfounded. He really couldn't arrest these officials.

He was an officer in charge of raising food, and he was counting on these people to help him raise food.

"Master Lin..., could you please give me less food?"

His tone softened.

Bai Jing shouted, "There's not a single one. Is there something wrong with your ears?"

Ma Fengtang's chest heaved violently.

This county magistrate is too outrageous. He has two women standing by his side. How can this be tolerated?

It's even worse than those border army officers.

"Okay, okay, you have the guts..."

As he spoke, Ma Fengtang stood up and walked out of the lobby.

It turned out that County Magistrate Lu was the one who arranged the banquet for the reception. But looking at the current situation, if they stayed any longer, not to mention the banquet, they would be attacked immediately.

According to Lin Feng's order, only grain carts and fifty soldiers were allowed to enter the city through the city gate.

The other soldiers camped half a mile away from the city.

Ma Fengtang stayed at the grain cart concentration area in the city.

This was originally a wealthy family's house, with a spacious area that could accommodate nearly fifty carriages.

Now, the rich family has been suppressed by Lin Feng and the house is ownerless.

It was just enough to accommodate the border troops' 25 food carts and 50 soldiers.

Ma Fengtang lived in a room by himself, and he called a few Jiazheng over.

"Brothers, something is wrong with this place. I'm afraid this magistrate is fake."

Several of the A-men were looking at him in surprise.

"General, what do you mean?"

"It's very strange. In short, something is very wrong. Tonight, you will take the city gate and let the troops enter."

"General, you are going to..."

"Let's take control of the county first. Without Old Lu here, this guy doesn't look like a county magistrate at all."

A man named A asked worriedly, "How are we going to report this if we take over the county?"

"Report it to the police! They are colluding with the bandits and think I don't know. Old Lu still has some ties with me, otherwise, I would have dealt with him long ago."

Several of the A's were relieved.

Ma Fengtang was arranging it.

"Lao Liang, go gather the troops outside the city. Lao Su, take a dozen people and control the city gate."

The two A's agreed and got up and left the house.

Lin Feng also recruited Hu Jincai, Wang Qian and Zhang Changyou, and arranged for them to ambush the soldiers entering the city.

Then he asked Yu Lei and Li Donglai to bring people to follow him to surround the grain carts.

Among the five A-level officials, not a single one had any doubts, only one said yes.

Lin Feng was very satisfied with this.

What he needs is this attitude and confidence to execute orders unconditionally.

As soon as it got dark, Wang Qian, who was lying in ambush at the city gate, noticed a group of soldiers sneaking towards him.

When the group of soldiers approached the city gate, they whistled and thirty sword and shield soldiers rushed out, surrounding a dozen soldiers.

The leading officer Jia Zheng was stunned. There had never been so many border soldiers in Bin County.

He saw that the other side had a large number of people and they all held shining long swords in their hands.

I immediately understood that if I dared to resist, they would probably use a knife.

We all make a living in the border army, so our lives are more important.

He was disarmed by Wang Qian without any resistance.

A dozen soldiers were driven and squeezed into a house on the edge of the city.

Here, Lin Feng personally brought Yu Lei and Li Donglai, a total of more than sixty soldiers.

They quietly surrounded the rich mansion where Ma Fengtang was stationed in the dark.

At the gate, Lin Feng stood across the street, with Bai Jing holding a hard bow on his left and Lin Qiaomei holding a soft bow on his right.

The three of them looked quietly at the yard where several torches were lit.

Lin Qiaomei moved closer to Lin Feng and whispered.

"Brother, who did you learn your archery skills from?"

"Gifted."

Lin Qiaomei looked unconvinced.

Bai Jing smiled and said, "Qiao sister, go to the roof and stay there. I'll show you my brother's real skills."

Lin Qiaomei really jumped off the horse, turned around and climbed onto the roof behind her.

Lin Feng frowned and said, "You are the one who has too many things to do."

"I want her to be convinced of my brother."
