Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 209 How should I refuse?

Lin Feng is very aware of his shortcomings.

The strength is insufficient, and the impact and destructive power are insufficient when charging into battle.

If it were a one-on-one fight, my swordsmanship and physical flexibility should give me the upper hand.

He was enjoying the bath when a soldier came outside to report.

"General, an envoy from the Protectorate has come to see you."

"Oh, let him wait at the inn."

After taking a bath, Lin Feng came to the county government office in Bing County.

The envoy from the Protectorate did not leave, but waited in the county government office.

After meeting Lin Feng, he revealed his identity and handed over a letter bag.

Then stand aside and wait for a reply.

Lin Feng sat behind the big desk in the lobby of the county government office and opened the letter bag.

This is the official letterhead of the Protectorate, with the official seal of Su Dutong on it.

Lin Feng took a quick glance and understood the meaning of the letter.

"According to a letter from the imperial court, Lin Feng fought bravely against the invading enemy at the Zhenxi border and made many military achievements.

With the approval of Emperor Dazong, Lin Feng was appointed as the co-governor of Zhenxi Protectorate."

The Tongzhi of a prefecture is the first person under the governor-general.

Although his rank was not as high as Lin Feng's current commander-in-chief, Tongzhi belonged to the civil service sequence and was actually much higher than his official position.

The responsibility for guarding the Qingshui area will be appointed by the general.

Lin Feng tapped his fingers on the table, but there was no movement for a long time.

The messenger who delivered the letter stood at the foot of the hall with his head bowed, without urging anyone.

The entire lobby was very quiet for a moment.

Lin Feng was very clear about how many people he had offended.

Not to mention the border troops, he offended almost everyone from top to bottom.

The government army also gave a severe beating to Du Lisheng, who had a strong background.

This time, by turning down the engagement with General Su's niece, he might have offended the general.

Not to mention King Fu, he wanted to kill himself.

The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Apart from the army under his command, did he have any friends?

It was obvious that this promotion was probably because someone was trying to take action against him.

He made Qingshui District prosperous and strong.

Everyone saw it.

Eager to get a piece of the pie.

With Lin Feng here, no one can interfere.

Once he is transferred, not only the clean water area can be used at will.

Moreover, without his army, Lin Feng would be bullied at will.

At that time, those who have grudges will take revenge, and those who have grievances will complain.

They can't wait to pounce on it and take a bite.

Lin Feng immediately disappeared in the vast crowd without even making a splash.

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng coughed.

"Let me think about it for a few days and then write back to the governor. You can reply now."

The messenger bowed, turned around and walked out of the hall.

He was just a messenger official, and nothing in the officialdom had anything to do with him.

At this time, Gu Huaisheng, who was standing quietly on the side, took a step forward.

"General Lin, what are your instructions?"

This Gu Huaisheng was a bandit from Kuiwu Mountain. Later he joined Lin Feng and showed considerable insights into the economic development of the county.

He was ordered by Lin Feng to take over the post of magistrate of Bin County.

Of course, there is no endorsement from the court.

However, Lin Feng promised that if he performed well in the future, he could report it to the court for record and officially issue the appointment document.

"Master Gu, the court has transferred me to be the deputy governor of the Protectorate. What are your thoughts?"

Gu Huaisheng suddenly became very anxious.

He is a scholar, but he has a broad mind and can see the current situation clearly.

With Lin Feng here, everything is thriving, and I will also be able to rise step by step with my own abilities.

But once Lin Feng left.

Judging from the behavior of those high-ranking officials, this place will not only return to darkness, but will also be eaten up by all parties.

If Gu Huaisheng left Linfeng, he would still be destined to be a bandit.

"General Lin must not go to the capital."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Qingshui and Bing counties are well-governed by the general. The people are prosperous and the economy is thriving. This has attracted covetousness from all sides. With General Lin here, no one dares to take action. Once General Lin leaves, not only will the people suffer, but the entire Zhenxi Protectorate will once again become the granary of the Tartars."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "This is the big picture. Have you ever thought about how our destinies will be different?"

Gu Huaisheng said respectfully, "General Lin, please forgive my bluntness, but if you lose your army, you will become prey on the chopping board of your enemies."

"But this is an order from the court. How can I refuse?"

Gu Huaisheng chuckled.

"General Lin, this letter is just an ordinary letter from the Governor's Office, not an official letter from the court."

"Oh, you mean, the court has no intention of promoting me?"

"This humble official is speaking nonsense. I'm afraid someone wants to deal with General Lin."

Lin Feng agreed with Gu Huaisheng's opinion and admired his vision.

"In that case, what should I do?"

Gu Huaisheng laughed and said, "General Lin will just hold him over and see how he handles it."

"Well, that makes sense. I'll just drag it out with him and let my enemy suffer."

"Hahaha..."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Inside the city of Zhenxi Protectorate.

Du Lisheng has returned to the provincial capital from the border town to take up his post.

As the general of the Fu Army, he was beaten by Lin Feng in front of a group of soldiers in the camp.

How could I have the face to stay in the government army?

At this moment, Du Lisheng was sitting opposite two middle-aged men, both in their thirties or forties, with fair complexions and no beards.

Both of them had sinister looks and were serious.

Du Lisheng, however, was smiling and in a good mood.

These two were his niece, the emperor's favorite, Concubine Du, two masters of the palace who were personally invited by her.

Eunuch Han and Eunuch Pan.

After being beaten, Du Lisheng returned to the provincial capital and wrote a letter to his niece.

The story is full of tears and sob, and Lin Feng is portrayed as a villain who relies on the army in his hands to do all kinds of evil and ignores the imperial power.

And listed Lin Feng's ten major crimes in detail.

He asked his niece to petition the emperor to punish Lin Feng.

Unfortunately, Emperor Zhao Zhen was troubled by Prince Fu’s rebellion.

Who has the time to care about a small officer of the border army?

Helplessly, in order to vent her uncle's anger, Concubine Du secretly invited two masters from the palace and came to the border town with a private letter.

Du Lisheng showed Concubine Du's private letter to General Su.

It happened that Su Dutong was very dissatisfied with Lin Feng.

Not only was his own niece broken off by Lin Feng.

The key point is that General Su told his wife about this matter.

But his wife was quick-witted and told her brother, who then told his wife, and then Chu Jiao also found out.

In short, it's quite convoluted, but very realistic.

Everyone knew that Lin Feng was a tough guy, and he could kill the Tartar bronze-armored soldiers as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Word spread like wildfire, and he almost became a god in the eyes of the people in Zhenxi.

So, everyone was very happy.

Especially Chu Jiao, who had met Lin Feng and spent some time with him.

When I heard the news, I suspected it was an illusion or a dream.

After she ran to her uncle to get confirmation.

That feeling is extremely comfortable.

It seems like all the happy events in the world have come to me.

From then on, he had nothing else to do but wander around the Dutong Mansion all day, inquiring about Lin Feng's news.

If her father had not strictly ordered her not to leave the city, she might have already gone to Lin Feng.

The adults in the family were also happy about this.

It was in this festive atmosphere that General Su received the bad news from Pan Chen.
