Chapter 1202: Catch Them All

Lin Feng laughed: "Nonsense, when have I ever been afraid of these people? Just open up the circle and let them all in."

"Catch them all?"

"That's it."

Wang Qian nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned and ran out.

Bai Jing, standing to the side, asked in bewilderment, "Brother, how did you know they would come and fight to the death?"

Lin Feng glanced at the valuables in the dozens of carriages.

“Confiscating their property is tantamount to taking their lives. They couldn’t resist such a deep-seated hatred.”

The reason they weren't apprehended and punished was to let them shrug it off, giving them a chance to gather their remaining followers.

Bai Jing sighed: "Brother wants to bring out those that are still hidden in the shadows, right?"

"Yes, given this opportunity, I think many will seize it and make a move, after all, such good opportunities are rare."

Bai Jing shook her head: "To be your enemy is simply courting death."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I want to completely eliminate these unstable factors and consolidate the territory of the Eight Prefectures of Zhenxi so that I can free up time to deal with the pirates."

"Brother, I know what to do."

More than fifty carriages and forty or fifty officials worked until noon to count them, and they had only cleared less than half of them.

After lunch, they continued their work.

Lin Feng and Bai Jing are already making arrangements for the follow-up.

The two found a quiet room and sat facing each other.

After a moment of silence, Lin Feng spoke.

“My enemies are not just these, the most terrifying are the cultivators from the hidden sects, who are definitely on their way to Shanglin Prefecture right now.”

Bai Jing looked at him with concern.

"what should we do?"

"It's not 'we,' it's 'me.' I can only face the enemy alone. Taking anyone with me is just suicide."

"Alas, we are beset by internal and external troubles, and we have too many enemies."

"Don't worry, cultivators have no interest in worldly imperial power, but they are very interested in me as a person. You stabilize the current situation. As long as I solve this big problem, everything will go smoothly."

Bai Jing's eyes welled up with tears as she looked up at Lin Feng.

"Brother, are you leaving again?"

Lin Feng nodded: "We must leave. Staying here will only bring you trouble. But don't worry too much. These guys are arrogant and not difficult to deal with."

"Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do to help."

"As long as you are all safe, that's enough to help me."

Is that all it's good for?

Bai Jing was very sad.

"Of course not. My struggles only have meaning because of your existence. Otherwise, I would have retreated to the deep mountains to cultivate immortality."

"Brother, you also believe in the path to immortality?"

"I don't believe in that nonsense. Being forced to stay in the deep mountains for decades is worse than hanging myself from a tree in the southeast. What's the use of immortality?"

"It's best if you think that way, brother. Don't abandon us."

Lin Feng reached out and wiped away a tear from the corner of Bai Jing's eye.

"Don't worry, I still..."

He had only spoken half a sentence when he heard someone outside exclaim in surprise.

"Something's wrong! Someone's calling! Close the door quickly!"

The courtyard immediately erupted into chaos.

The governor's mansion's only thirty guards began to close and secure the gates, some even climbing onto the rooftops, nocking bows and arrows, and starting their defense.

As dusk approached, countless men wielding weapons surged from all directions of the street outside the courtyard, rushing rapidly toward the governor's mansion.

At one end of the street, hundreds of Imperial Guards, armed with spears, were rapidly advancing towards them.

Bai Jing grasped Lin Feng's hand, a smile on her face.

"Nothing can escape my calculations."

"It's actually very simple, there's nothing mysterious about it. Let's go out and take a look."

The two got up and went up to a small building in the courtyard, looking out over the courtyard.

Nearly a thousand people have surrounded Bai Jing's mansion, and many men have climbed over the wall and are climbing down into the courtyard.

Lin Feng glanced around and felt that it was about time.

He casually took the revolver from his waist, pointed it at the sky, and pulled the trigger.

Three shots were fired in quick succession.

A moment of silence followed, then the shouting resumed.

As instructed, everyone in the courtyard abandoned their defenses and retreated into the inner courtyard, each seeking a place to hide.

Those who climbed into the courtyard saw carts full of gold and silver treasures and shouted excitedly, attracting even more people who, disregarding the risk of injury, began to rob the gold and silver treasures.

More and more people entered the courtyard, and Tang Yuan's five hundred imperial guards also followed, trying their best to maintain order.

However, money can corrupt people's hearts. The servants and guards were already blinded by greed and didn't care about anything else. They just wanted to grab the gold and silver first.

Tang Yuan remained clear-headed, knowing that if he didn't deal with Lin Feng, even if he took the gold and silver treasures, he would have to obediently return them.

He loudly ordered his soldiers to form teams and search for Lin Feng in the house.

Seeing that everyone had entered the courtyard, Han Qi, Cai Lantian, and other ministers who were hiding around observed for a while before following them into the courtyard.

They were also worried that their treasures would be robbed by these men, and even more worried that if they didn't find Lin Feng, they would not only lose their treasures, but also their lives.

Some ministers entered the courtyard and, seeing dozens of carriages laden with treasure and men robbing it indiscriminately, immediately began to curse in frustration.

Han Qi and Cai Lantian, along with a few other ministers, knew that the key to the matter lay elsewhere, and they quickly ran to Tang Yuan's side.

Of all the Imperial Guards in the courtyard, only these five hundred are somewhat reliable.

"Commander Tang, have you found Lin Feng?"

"Don't worry, sir. We are searching everywhere. The area is already surrounded. He can't escape."

Tang Yuan was very confident. These hundreds of Imperial Guards were all trained under his personal supervision, and their combat effectiveness was exceptionally strong.

"Hurry up and search. We don't have much time. Once the Zhenxi Army outside the city gets the news, no one will be able to escape."

Cai Lantian reiterated this point.

"We know, we will find Lin Feng and take him into custody. If the Zhenxi Army hesitates to act rashly, we will win this battle."

Tang Yuan was full of confidence.

Han Qi turned and shouted at the ministers.

"Tell your men to go find Lin Feng right away. There will be a generous reward afterward. Don't rob him. Even if you manage to rob him now, he won't be yours."

Everyone understands the logic, but when faced with dazzling gold and silver, how many people can resist the urge to snatch it?

Despite the ministers' desperate shouts, few listened; they simply buried their heads in stuffing gold and silver jewelry into their own pockets.

However, they quickly quieted down as they all felt the ground shaking.

The servants and guards were very familiar with this sound; it was the thunderous roar of a herd of warhorses pounding the ground, accompanied by the tremors of the earth.

The Imperial Guards were even more familiar with this sound and vibration.

The soldiers who were running around the house immediately looked around in panic, trying to figure out which direction the sound was coming from.

Tang Yuan's heart sank; he hadn't expected the Zhenxi Army to arrive so quickly.

Before the operation, he sent people to search around the city, but they did not see any Zhenxi Army troops in the city.

If it were the Zhenxi Army outside the city, they would not have arrived so quickly.

"Damn it, we've fallen into Lin Feng's ambush."

Having been a military man for many years, Tang Yuan quickly made his judgment.

Han Qi said anxiously, "Quickly, our only hope now is to find Lin Feng. If we can't control him, we must kill him. We must not give up."

"it is good."

Tang Yuan didn't wait there either, and ran to the backyard of the house.
