Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 278 A Serious Military Scholar

Lin Feng stood in front of the steel cage, looking at Zhang Licheng who was locked inside.

Zhang Licheng lowered his head, covered his face with his messy hair, and remained silent.

After a moment, Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

"Zhang Licheng, a military scholar in the seventh year of Xuanjing, formerly served as the prison warden of Zhenxi Protectorate. He has a clean background and comes from an orthodox family."

Having said this, Lin Feng paused.

Zhang Licheng slowly raised his head and stared at Lin Feng through his messy hair.

Lin Feng sneered: "Is this how you guard prisoners?"

Zhang Licheng gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang was fooled by that woman. I have nothing to say."

"You are a great military scholar, but you are being played around by a woman. You really have no right to speak."

Zhang Licheng chuckled.

He had done something like this and had already made up his mind to die, so he didn't care about anything else he said.

"Lin Feng, that woman hates you to death. When she returns this time, I'm afraid she will never let you go. You better be careful, hehehe..."

"Worry about yourself, you're just a piece of crap."

Zhang Licheng's veins bulged with anger as he roared, "Shut up! I'm a legitimate military scholar from a prominent clan. If it weren't for the darkness of the imperial court, there would be no chance for you to rise to prominence!"

Lin Feng said calmly: "It is precisely because the imperial court is dark that it produced a Jinshi like you. How dare you show off like that?"

"you..."

Zhang Licheng's eyes bulged out of their sockets, his breathing became rapid, and he was unable to speak for a while.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "It's useless to say all this. What conditions did Nalan promise you that would make you, a few serious Jinshi, disregard the law and sacrifice your lives to rescue her from prison?"

Zhang Licheng lowered his head again and remained silent.

Bai Jing whispered beside Lin Feng, "Brother, Xie Yunling and Lu Shida have confessed that it was Zhang Licheng who instigated them and that's why they fell for his trick."

Although the voice was soft, Zhang Licheng heard it clearly in the silent cell.

"Bullshit, bullshit! It's all because of these two spineless bastards who resorted to such a despicable trick and ruined Zhang's good fortune."

Lin Feng asked disdainfully, "Zhang Licheng, do you think the Tartars will accept your surrender?"

"Of course they are eager for it. We are talented people, how can we be compared with the brainless Tartars?"

Even at this time, Zhang Licheng was still proud from the bottom of his heart.

Li Hu was an official in charge of prison management. Due to his injuries, he had been recuperating at home.

This time, when he heard that something big had happened, he rushed over and followed Lin Feng.

Hearing that Zhang Licheng was still so shameless, he was furious.

"Zhang Licheng, don't be shameless. A loser like you is a sheer waste of food living in this world."

Zhang Licheng sneered disdainfully.

"You are a bunch of country bumpkins. Don't think that just because you are in power for a while, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. You are still far from being able to make a living."

"Okay, okay, you are a powerful military scholar. Come on, fight me for a few moves and I will show you how powerful a country bumpkin is."

Li Hu squeezed into the steel cage angrily.

He was stopped by Cheng Liang and Wen Jian at the door.

"Let me go, and let this loser see if a country bumpkin can really kill a military scholar like him."

Cheng Liang said with a smile: "Brother Hu, if you want to do it, it's better to let me do it for you. You are not fully recovered yet."

"With this body, I can still knock him down."

Li Hu said angrily.

Looking at the extremely excited Li Hu, Zhang Licheng squinted his eyes, sneered, and looked disdainful.

Lin Feng reached out and patted Li Hu on the shoulder, asking him to calm down.

"Well, since you think you have the talent to govern the world, I really can't accommodate such a talent as yours here."

As he spoke, he turned and walked out, and when he reached the door, he said casually.

"Have someone escort these three talented people all the way to the gate of the Tartar camp and explain clearly that they are the talents favored by Nalan."

After that, he strode away.

Everyone hurriedly followed him.

In the steel cage, Zhang Licheng didn't know whether he was happy or scared when he heard Lin Feng say this.

I was trembling all over and feeling extremely complicated.

He had a glimmer of hope in his heart that Nalan recognized him, but perhaps for some reason, he had to give up on taking him away.

The previous shame, anger and resentment turned into earnest expectation.

Windihan received the news of the defeat of the North City Camp.

I also know that Lin Feng returned to the castle alive.

Although he really wanted to find out how the 1,000 cavalrymen in the North Camp were defeated.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to withdraw the troops in front of the other city gates back to the camp.

The plan failed, the tiger returns to the mountain, and I have to deal with it carefully.

But he was happy in his heart.

Because Nalan finally escaped from the castle and returned to the camp.

This is a great joyous event.

Ever since Nalan was captured by Lin Feng, it has been like a sharp thorn in his heart, tormenting him for countless days and nights.

I put in so much effort, money, and found the right person.

They were all cheated by Lin Feng and vomited blood.

Now God has mercy on us and allows Nalan to return to Tiezhen’s camp.

I can finally give an explanation to the Tiezhen royal family.

Unfortunately, his military advisor Zhai Duozhi was still imprisoned in Lin Feng's castle.

Also inside is Nalan's younger brother Natan.

Of course, when Nalan escaped from prison, he didn't know that his own brother was also imprisoned there.

She climbed over the city wall, crawled over the trench, and returned to the camp.

After only one day's rest, he strongly requested Wendihan to send troops to break the city.

She wanted to kill Lin Feng with her own hands.

Wendyhan could only smile bitterly and patiently persuade and comfort her.

Faced with such high walls and deep ravines, it would not be easy to break the city even if there were a large number of border troops in the castle.

What’s more, it is Lin Feng’s Qingshui Army.

Wendihan persuaded Nalan to wait for Toman and Bilan to return before making further plans.

Inside the city, Commander-in-Chief Su Qian and Du Lisheng sat in silence.

I just received a report that Weiyuan County Magistrate Yu Minwen and the captain of the provincial army, Peng Bin, have been recruited by Lin Feng.

Currently, he is the son of Qin Zhong, the general of the provincial army, and Qin Fang is in charge of government affairs in Weiyuan.

Weiyuan County is a big city and occupies a very important position in the west of the town.

Linfeng has Qingshui and Bin County, and now it has extended to Weiyuan County.

As the territory grows, so does the power.

If it is not curbed, I am afraid that even the provincial capital will eventually belong to Lin Feng.

The border troops were incompetent, and most of the provincial army was controlled by Qin Zhong.

Du Lisheng's 10,000 troops alone could not threaten Lin Feng's Qingshui Army.

The two of them are worried.

He had already fallen out with Lin Feng and overturned the table.

Instead of waiting for others to come to you, it is better to find ways to save yourself as soon as possible.

Just as the two were racking their brains to find a solution, more news came.

Lin Feng's four hundred elite cavalry broke the siege of two thousand Tartar cavalry and defeated the Tartar cavalry.

Naturally, the two men didn't believe it, so they sent out several more scouts.

After repeated confirmation, I had to admit that the news was not false.

Both Su Qian and Du Lisheng saw fear in each other's eyes.

Is this still a person?

The city is in danger.

After a long silence, Su Qian slammed the table.

"There is a wise man in the capital, and I am waiting for him to come and ask for his advice. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

"Sir, please give me money, manpower, and effort. Just give me your orders. Lin Feng and I will never reconcile."

Du Lisheng shouted angrily.

Su Qian glanced at him.

He shook his head and sighed, then stood up and walked into the inner hall.

Du Lisheng stared blankly at Su Qian's back as he disappeared at the door.

I may be out of money, but I still have ten thousand men.

At the critical moment, there is also a chance to fight to the death, right?

I stood there for a while, feeling very bored.

Think about it, these 10,000 government troops are really useless.

No matter how stupid he was, he knew that those two thousand Tartar cavalry were many times stronger than his own ten thousand palace troops.

I felt lost and helpless for a moment.
