Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 192: Old Matters Revisited

After resting in Bing County for a few days, Chen Tongpan and his entourage were taken to the military camp by He Zhiwu.

Three or four days later, he brought a group of officials to thank Lin Feng and say goodbye.

Chen Tongpan pulled Lin Feng into the inner room with a mysterious look on his face.

"General Lin, thank you for extending a helping hand this time and saving me from this difficult time. I will not repeat this gratitude. If you need me in the future, please feel free to ask."

"Master Chen, you are too polite. Rescue and suppress bandits are all part of Lin's job. Why do you have to do this?"

"Haha, well, since General Lin is so generous, I won't say any more."

He moved closer to Lin Feng and spoke in a low voice.

"General Lin, you've already accepted the engagement letter from General Su's niece. It's been quite some time now. How about letting me give the General a definite answer this time?"

When Lin Feng heard this, he was stunned.

When did I ever accept the Geng Tie?

Seeing him in a daze, Chen Tongpan hurriedly said.

"I have already told the governor about this matter. He is very pleased. I am afraid that Miss Chu Jiao is so happy that she can't sleep at this moment."

"Wait a minute, Master Chen, I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding here."

"Oh? What's the misunderstanding?"

"I remember that there was urgent military information at the time, so we stopped talking about this topic. I didn't even take the Geng Tie."

Chen Tongpan pointed at Lin Feng and smiled.

"You, hahaha, you're still embarrassed, hahaha..."

Lin Feng waved his hands quickly: "Hey, Master Chen, let's talk seriously. I really didn't accept the engagement letter."

"Okay, okay, I know you didn't take it, okay."

Lin Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you asked your attendant to accept it. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. They are both fine young men, married in a formal ceremony."

These words immediately made Lin Feng's heart rise to his throat again.

"What, my attendant?"

"Yes, the one with big eyes next to you."

"Bai Jing?"

"Yes, yes, that's her."

Lin Feng fell into a daze again.

At that time, I did ask Bai Jing to get rid of Chen Tongpan.

Is this how you get rid of this woman?

Swallowing hard, Lin Feng said to Chen Tongpan with embarrassment.

"Master Chen, to be honest, I already have an engagement, but I didn't have time to tell you because of an urgent military matter."

"Ah! You, you are engaged?"

"Exactly."

"But...but I have already told the governor about this."

"It's just right. When I return home this time, I'll trouble you to explain everything to the governor."

"this..."

Chen Tongpan looked constipated and rubbed his thin hands.

The two were silent for a while.

"General Lin, if you want to explain clearly, you must give a definite answer."

"Okay, I'll tell you clearly again that I, Lin Feng, am already engaged."

"No, no, no, what I want is the exact answer: who is General Lin's engagement party? When was the engagement made? Only then can I explain it clearly in front of the governor, don't you agree?"

Lin Feng looked embarrassed.

"Master Chen, this is personal privacy, so don't bring it up casually."

"Since you're already engaged, why hide it?"

"this..."

Lin Feng was in an awkward situation.

This is different from deceiving Mu Honda at that time, where you could say whatever you want.

If you say anything nonsense now, it is equivalent to an official announcement.

It’s better to file a case with the commander-in-chief of the Protectorate. It doesn’t matter to me, but the other party’s family will be embarrassed.

After hesitating for a long time, he saw that Pan Chen was still anxiously waiting for his answer.

He could only say: "Master Chen, this matter cannot be told to anyone else. If it gets out, it might..."

"General Lin, rest assured. I will only explain this to the Commander-in-Chief. No one else will know."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Okay, this marriage is with an official in Kyoto, his surname is Jiang Yun."

Judge Chen twirled his beard and squinted his eyes in thought for a while.

He felt that Lin Feng would not dare to mention people's names casually. Although he did not know this Jiang Yun, he was an official in the capital, so he could just ask around to find out whether he knew him or not.

"Well, in that case, Chen will tell the commander-in-chief the truth. General Lin, take care of yourself. Farewell."

Obviously, Chen Tongpan was very unhappy.

After saying that, he stood up, bowed, and walked out.

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and followed him out of the hospital without saying much.

But I was cursing in my heart.

You are so good, Bai Jing, how dare you do such an embarrassing thing without telling me.

Humph, just wait and see how I’m going to deal with you.

The reason why Lin Feng reported Jiang Yun's name was because her daughter Jiang Haiyun was originally engaged to him, but he forced Lin Tong to come to his house to break off the engagement.

When the other party comes looking for you, you can say that you have broken off the engagement again, so there will be room for maneuver.

Seeing that work was in full swing everywhere in the county, Lin Feng immediately put the matter behind him.

There are more and more people in the city.

People of all kinds gathered in Bing County from all directions.

Within a few days, you can see people tidying up the land on the wasteland outside the city.

Obviously, that was the arable land that had been distributed.

The houses on both sides of the street have also become popular.

Various stalls, vendors and shops also put up signs and flags of different colors.

In short, there is a lively scene everywhere.

The entire Bin County came alive in an instant.

Chen Tongpan survived the disaster and was finally escorted back to the capital of the Protectorate by five hundred provincial soldiers.

This trip to Qingshui was originally accompanied by many officials, who came to reward Lin Feng's army.

It can be said that we came with high hopes but left disappointed.

He is now the only official who can return to the provincial capital.

There were also a few minor officials accompanying him.

When they returned home, the whole family cried with joy.

Before he could have a private conversation with his wife and children, he received the news that the governor had summoned him.

After quickly bathing and changing clothes, he hurriedly followed the messenger to the Governor's Mansion.

After the greetings, everyone took their seats.

The Tongpan was the deputy of the Dutong, and naturally had a seat in front of the Dutong.

Pan Chen took a sip of tea and recounted his journey to Qingshui.

General Su pondered for a while.

"The better Lin Feng builds Qingshui, the better it will be for our Zhenxi Protectorate. As long as he follows orders, it will be a great achievement."

"What the Commander-in-Chief said is true. It was Lin Feng who was most effective in rescuing me. The border troops only sent troops to circle the mountain and then left."

"Well, this rescue order was given to Lin Feng first by this governor."

"Master General, this shows that Lin Feng is still very obedient to your orders."

General Su nodded.

"A few days ago, General Qin sent a report requesting merit, and Lin Feng's name was on it. The general recommended that he be promoted to General of the Zhenjun Army. At that time, the commander-in-chief thought that Lin Feng was still too young and needed to be observed for a few more years. Now it seems that he can be reported to the court."

Chen Tongpan sighed, "Ah, he truly deserves the title. Such a young general of the Zhenjun Army."

Su Dutong changed the subject: "Master Chen, when you went to Qingshui this time and met Lin Feng, did you mention...?"

Chen Tongpan was afraid that he would talk about this, but now that things had come to this point, he had no choice but to say it.

"Uh...Sir, I have indeed made it clear this time."

"Oh, how did it turn out?"
