Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 66: Making Friends Through Martial Arts

The engineers set up tents. There was a well in the village before, so water was not a problem.

The next day, Lin Feng took out his engineering drawings and let everyone see them.

Then give the task to the leader of the engineering battalion.

Construction should be carried out according to the drawings and completed as soon as possible within the construction schedule.

Lin Feng lived on the original site of the beacon tower, where a new camp was rebuilt. The foundation of the beacon tower was still there, and it just needed to be rammed earth on top.

In addition to completing daily training tasks, each team under his command also has the task of participating in engineering construction.

These soldiers are not afraid of hard work, they are only afraid of not having food to eat.

After eating and drinking, no one blamed Lin Feng even though many tasks were added.

A construction team of nearly 500 people realized Lin Feng’s original plan.

The problem Lin Feng is facing now is the problem of food and grass.

Sit back and eat nothing.

Even though there are more than 20 carts of food and fodder, if there is no source, they will be eaten up in a short time.

Lin Feng turned his attention to Qingshui County. There was a guy named Mu Bentian in this county. Not only did he do business with the Tartars, he was also a county lieutenant.

With his wealth, he should be able to feed his five hundred men for a while.

Compared with Bin County, Qingshui County is a level higher and has a much larger area.

This place is less than 200 miles away from the border town. The soldiers defending the city can communicate with the border town from a distance and form some restraint on the Tatars.

Therefore, the Tartars could not spare too many troops to attack the city, and with too few people, they could not break in.

The county lieutenant of Qingshui County had great power. During wartime, he commanded 500 soldiers to guard the county.

He did not belong to the border army, but was a member of the government troops and was under the leadership of the Zhenxi Protectorate.

Therefore, the border troops ignored him, and the Protectorate was too far away to take care of him.

Only the army in the border town is still taking care of it for the time being.

It is a relatively independent but awkward city.

Since the Tatars did not come here often, the city defense was relatively relaxed.

Lin Feng and others paid the city gate tax and then swaggered into the city.

After entering the city, we found that Qingshui County had been under martial law, and the streets were full of patrolling soldiers on guard.

Lin Feng frowned and thought, he had underestimated Mu Bentian's ability. In this situation, even if he could get food and supplies, he probably wouldn't be able to transport them out.

There are many homeless people and beggars on the streets. They are all people from all over the country who have been harmed by the war and have ended up here.

Lin Feng also discovered that there were many gangsters here, carrying swords and knives, coming and going freely.

Bai Jing became very quiet and stayed obediently beside Lin Feng.

This time, he brought Lin Qiaomei, Li Xiong, Hu Jincai and Li Donglai with him.

Of course, there are also Lin Feng’s two guards, one named Fan Jinsong and the other named Xie Chong.

They were all born with broad shoulders and strong waists, and were very powerful.

Lin Feng planned that if Li Donglai and Lin Qiaomei followed him, they would cause trouble. They were just the names of the Helmet House bandits and had nothing to do with him.

In this chaotic world, the title of bandit is the most useful.

The government and border troops were already exhausted from dealing with the Tartars and had no time to care about bandits and refugees.

The crowd walked to a house with a tall gatehouse and saw that many people were gathered there.

Li Xiong came up and whispered to Lin Feng.

"Boss, these guys are dressed similarly to us."

Lin Feng also discovered this situation.

They all looked like ordinary people walking around the world, and they carried various weapons.

Just as I was wondering, I heard a middle-aged man who looked like a butler standing on the steps of the gatehouse shouting.

"Dear heroes, this is a martial arts meeting. Please register according to the rules and enter to receive generous gifts."

Li Donglai laughed and said, "Making friends through martial arts? The government also uses this method?"

"How do you know this was done by the government?"

"Without official background, I'm afraid it would be impossible to build such a mansion."

Lin Feng nodded and pointed to the plaque on the gatehouse.

"The county lieutenant here is surnamed Mu."

"Interesting, Boss, shall we go in and take a look?"

When Li Xiong heard that there were generous gifts to be won, he became interested.

"Of course I want to go."

After a brief discussion, they each came up with a name so they could register.

Eight armed soldiers stood at the gate, staring fiercely at the various types of gangsters in front of them.

Lin Feng used the name of Lu Sihuai and registered on the table in front of the door.

The Mu Mansion's courtyard was very spacious. Even with about seventy or eighty people standing inside, it still looked empty.

In the middle of the yard stood a platform half a meter high, on which stood a middle-aged man in a long gown.

There was a row of tables behind the platform, on which were placed four or five plates covered with red cloth, which should be filled with gold, silver and other items.

There was also a row of soldiers with guns standing behind the table.

The middle-aged man shouted loudly on the stage.

"My fellow heroes, this time we're meeting friends through martial arts. Show off your skills as much as you can, whether it's fists, swords, spears, or archery. If you can outsmart others, the reward behind me is very generous. Those who are capable can take it."

As he spoke, he pointed to the table behind him.

Then someone came forward and lifted the red cloth on a plate, revealing a plate full of shiny silver ingots.

Such a grand gesture immediately caused a burst of exclamations in the mansion.

Someone asked loudly: "How do you compare?"

The middle-aged man chuckled.

"Anyone can stand on this stage at will. As long as you can still stand on the stage after three rounds..."

He glanced at the people in the audience.

"Then the plate of silver is in hand."

Everyone exclaimed in amazement again.

Someone couldn't wait any longer and took a few steps out of the crowd, then somersaulted onto the stage.

"Let me try it first."

The man was small and agile, with a monkey-like air.

The audience burst into laughter. Such a childish guy was thinking about getting a reward.

Lin Fengze frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him, wondering in his heart what Mu Bentian's intention was.

In a two-story attic, behind a window facing the ring, stood two men.

A man about forty years old, with three strands of beard and a slightly red face.

This person was none other than Mu Honda, the county magistrate of Qingshui.

The man standing next to him was short and stocky, with bow legs, a full beard and a tough look.

Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell at first glance that he is a member of the Tiezhen tribe.

"Master Shuhu, do you find any of these that you like?"

"It's hard to tell for now, but maybe there will be results later."

Shuhu's dialect was not fluent, but his meaning was still clear.

The two were silent for a moment, watching the two people fighting in the ring downstairs.

"Mr. Mu, is there still no news about Lin Feng?"

Mu Bentian frowned and said, "Master Shuhu, Lin Feng is very cunning. After killing someone, he didn't even return to the border army camp. It's very difficult to find him in such a vast land."

The tiger's teeth were grinding loudly.

"Mr. Mu, thank you for your concern. If you have any news about this person, please inform me as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Master Shuhu, I will do my best to find this person's whereabouts."

As he spoke, he pointed downstairs and said, "These wandering knights are best at roaming the wilderness. Let them look for it. They will definitely get results in a short time."

Shuhu nodded and turned his gaze to the arena downstairs.

"Mr. Mu, your plan is very good, but will they truly work for Tie Zhen?"

Mu Bentian chuckled.

"Master Shuhu, rest assured. I know these great knights very well. If we promise them generous rewards, they will naturally work hard for Tiezhen."

"So good."

"Master Shuhu, please feel free to choose. Once you decide on the personnel, I will hand it over to you. I will definitely satisfy you."

A smile appeared on Shuhu's fleshy face, and he reached out and patted Mu Bentian's shoulder.

"Okay, okay, I'll say good things about Mr. Mu."

"Thank you so much, Master Shuhu."

The two smiled at each other, then turned to look at the ring.
