Chapter 187 I Believe in You
Song Qi was furious and pointed outside the yard.
"I have a thousand men, and we've surrounded this place like an iron barrel. Any resistance will only lead to death."
"A thousand people, that terrifies me. They're just garbage."
Lin Feng looked at the dried meat in his hand with disdain.
"Hey, Qiaomei, this piece is a little burnt."
"Oh, really? I'm clumsy."
Lin Qiaomei hurried to look for other pieces of meat on the fire.
Zhao Shuo had been scratching his head and cheeks at the side, and now he found a gap.
"Brother, who is this kid?"
"Oh, this man's name is Song Qi, a general from the border army's battalion. He once took credit for killing the bronze-armored Tartars, but now he relies on his uncle and doesn't do his job properly."
Song Qi was so angry that fire flashed in his eyes.
It’s not that he didn’t want to take action immediately, but he thought it would be best to scare Lin Feng.
If a fight breaks out, with Lin Feng's skills, he might be in danger.
"Lin Feng, I'll say it again, if you still want to resist to the end, I won't care about life or death!"
He shouted angrily and turned his head to glance at Yan Xinhua.
I wanted to signal him to get ready to take action.
However, what surprised him was that Yan Xinhua was actually staring blankly.
what's the situation?
"General Yan, what are you doing?"
Song Qi lowered his voice and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
Not only Yan Xinhua, but also the soldiers and guards behind them were a little dumbfounded.
It was just because the aroma of meat wafting from the lobby of the county government office made everyone salivate.
There was a shortage of food and fodder in the border army camp, and all the soldiers only ate half full every day.
It was still mixed with wild vegetable dumplings and other miscellaneous items.
I don’t know how long it has been since I last saw meat.
Song Qi relied on his uncle, so he naturally had enough food, and even meat was available from time to time.
He couldn't understand the feeling of a starving person facing the temptation of food.
Yan Xinhua had heard that Qingshui County, where Lin Feng was located, was rich in resources and the military and civilians had enough food and clothing.
Not only did the soldiers have enough to eat and eat well, but their salaries were also paid in full and on time.
This has long been spread among the border troops and is no longer a secret.
It wasn't until I saw with my own eyes what Lin Feng's soldiers were wearing and a group of people were barbecuing and drinking.
This further proves that what was said is true.
His eyes were fixed on the stare for a moment, and he was only thinking about food and clothing, and had long forgotten what he was here for.
Hearing Song Qi's question, he quickly wiped the saliva that flowed out of his mouth.
"Uh... General Song, what do you mean?"
Song Qi was so sad that he wanted to cry but had no tears. You have ruined all my momentum.
"Do it!"
Song Qi shouted angrily.
Yan Xinhua raised his hand and looked at the people in the hall, but did not give any orders.
Because he saw a circle of soldiers standing around the county government hall, holding crossbows in their hands and pointing them at them.
He knew this thing was very sharp.
The border troops had long wanted to get it out for research, but Lin Feng kept a very strict control over it.
Yan Xinhua turned to look at Song Qi. What did he mean by that?
Song Qi was also a little dumbfounded. In this situation, he had to withdraw first and then order the soldiers to enter the lobby to arrest the person.
Lin Feng chuckled.
"Brothers, you follow such a coward, you are hungry and cold, they eat meat, but you can't even drink soup, you are better off going home to farm."
Zhao Shuo also chimed in, "We cannot have such corrupt officers in our army. Those who suck the blood of our soldiers must be killed!"
Lin Feng stood up, holding up the dried meat in his hand.
"Everyone, here at Lin Feng, we have enough to eat, warm clothes, ample pay, and rewards for our meritorious service. Go and ask around, has Lin Feng ever treated our soldiers unfairly?"
Song Qi opened his mouth, dumbfounded, not knowing how to refute.
"Brothers, I will treat everyone equally if you want to join my Lin Feng team. Abandoning darkness and joining the light is the right path in life."
The border troops were in a dark situation, especially the soldiers, who not only did not receive their salaries but also suffered from hunger all day long.
I have been complaining for a long time and want to sneak away to Qingshui to try my luck.
Unexpectedly, he met the real boss Lin Feng here.
When I heard Lin Feng say that he could have enough to eat, this was his biggest wish at the moment.
For a moment, all the soldiers hesitated.
When Song Qi saw that something was wrong, he jumped up immediately.
"Don't listen to his nonsense! Anyone who dares to desert the border troops will be charged with treason!"
As he spoke, he stared at Yan Xinhua.
"General Yan, keep an eye on your men. This guy is the most wanted criminal on the general's list. Whoever captures him will be rewarded as if he had killed a bronze-armored Tartar."
Lin Feng laughed and said, "I've killed so many bronze-armored Tartars, but you haven't rewarded me for my achievements. You even let me take all the credit. No one would believe what you say."
Zhao Shuo looked confused.
"Brother, is this still a large army? Why are they arresting their own people?"
Lin Feng glanced at him and suddenly smiled.
He reached out and pulled Zhao Shuo up.
"Everyone, look, this is a member of the royal family of the Dazong Dynasty, a genuine royal relative, the Champion Marquis Zhao Shuo. Anyone who dares to take action should think about his family."
The Dazong Dynasty had strict control over titles, and there were very few princes and ministers with titles.
This also further demonstrates the dignity and importance of the title.
Song Qi sneered and said, "Lin Feng, who would believe your nonsense? Would the royal family come to this godforsaken place?"
"My Lord, show them your badge."
Zhao Shuo reached out from his waist, took out the badge and held it in his hand.
"I am the authentic champion, who dares to question me?"
The soldiers gathered at the entrance of the hall were all stunned.
The entrance to the yamen was usually very wide, so the soldiers gathered in the yard could hear and see everything from inside to outside.
All the soldiers began to talk.
Song Qi is undoubtedly a fool.
This is also the reason why Lin Feng didn't look at him straight in the eye.
Although there were two thousand border troops, Lin Feng did not really regard them as dry food.
It can be said that the border troops are rotten to the core from top to bottom.
There is no fighting power at all.
Lin Feng dared to guarantee with absolute certainty that if they were on the battlefield, with just his 200 elite cavalrymen, they would be able to disperse the 2,000 soldiers in less than 25 minutes.
At this time, Yan Xinhua had woken up from his daze.
He stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife with a sound of "choking".
He stared at Lin Feng and asked, "General Lin, was what you just said true?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I, Lin Feng, never tell lies."
Yan Xinhua gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll believe you this time."
Song Qi stared at him with wide eyes.
"General Yan, what do you want to do?"
Yan Xinhua stretched out his left hand, grabbed Song Qi's collar, and pressed the knife against his neck.
"General Lin, this is my token of surrender, okay?"
"Haha, that's great!"
Lin Feng clapped his hands and laughed.
Amidst the shocked gazes of the soldiers, Yan Xinhua dragged Song Qi into the lobby of the county government office.
Song Qi twisted his body desperately.
But with his frail body, how could he escape the control of the soldier Yan Xinhua?
He was dragged all the way to the fire and kicked in the knee of Song Qi, forcing him to kneel on the ground.
"General Lin, if you say one word, I'll chop off his head."
