Chapter 673: Insufficient Manpower
Chapter 673: Insufficient Manpower
However, the territory he conquered was getting larger and larger, and the army he had was getting smaller and smaller, so he couldn't control it completely.
This is also the reason why he only brought two thousand people into Beijing. The vested interests had to be made to bleed.
"I allow you to continue recruiting soldiers and expanding the Zhenxi Army."
Zhao Zhen stared at Lin Feng and said.
"Your Majesty has left so many soldiers and horses in Kyoto idle, and you still want to spend money to recruit more people?"
Lin Feng was puzzled.
"Kyoto's safety is above all else, Lin Feng, do you understand?"
Lin Feng was speechless. So what if I couldn’t understand? You have the final say in Kyoto.
"Lin Feng, don't let me down. My kingdom depends on you."
Zhao Zhen looked at Lin Feng earnestly.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly.
"This requires the Emperor's full support."
"Don't worry, I will fully support you."
The two were talking in the water pavilion, and the people standing on the small bridge were watching them eagerly.
Especially the young officials, their eyes were almost popping out with envy.
Who else in the entire industry is treated like this?
It's such a great honor to talk to the emperor alone for such a long time. My ancestral graves are just smoking.
If it were me, I would brag about it for the rest of my life.
Finally, the emperor stood up and walked out of the water pavilion, walked along the Nine-Curve Bridge to the shore, and the officials bowed to him again.
"You guys continue, I'm a little tired."
After saying that, under the guidance of Zhu Qisheng, Zhao Zhen got on the carriage and drove out of the palace gate under the protection of a group of Jinwu guards.
Everyone knelt outside the palace gate to see the emperor off.
However, Lin Feng had already taken Pei Qiyin away from the palace. In order to avoid other people, the two of them went into a small alley.
When everyone returned to the living room, Lin Feng was nowhere to be seen.
Prince Rui didn't think there was anything wrong. With Zhao Shuo explaining on the side, he felt Lin Feng's unruly style.
But Wan Zhuo was very angry. He had finally found a master and wanted to give Lin Feng a surprise.
Unexpectedly, the emperor disrupted the situation and when he wanted to turn back, the person had already run away.
Once Lin Feng returns to the military camp, it will be difficult to take action again.
Lin Feng took Pei Qiyin's hand and walked towards the other side of the alley with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The narrow alley was pitch black.
Before the two of them had walked far, Pei Qiyin grabbed Lin Feng.
"General, something is wrong. Where are our people?"
Lin Feng also felt something unusual. He brought a thousand people with him, and they should be everywhere around the palace.
"Hey, I'm also curious, where are the people?"
Then, Pei Qiyin shrugged his nose.
"There's a smell of blood. Someone's been murdered."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he heard a slight sound of a mechanism.
Pei Qiyin had an excellent hearing ability. Without thinking, she reached out and hugged Lin Feng, then rolled to the side.
Lin Feng also felt an inexplicable tension and did not resist Pei Qiyin's actions. The two of them fell to the corner of the wall in an instant.
Before their bodies fell to the ground, they heard a series of crossbow arrows flying past them.
Pei Qiyin could feel the coolness of the crossbow arrow on his back.
When Lin Feng fell to the ground, his back hit the raised bluestone ground and he let out a muffled groan.
The sound immediately attracted the direction of the opponent's crossbow arrow. Without thinking, the two of them hugged each other and rolled to the other side.
The crossbow arrow, as if it had a clear target, pierced into the place where the two men had just fallen.
Lin Feng even saw the sparks created by the crossbow arrow hitting the bluestone.
The movement of this crossbow was very familiar; it was the standard weapon of his Zhenxi Army.
Moreover, the man using the crossbow has ears comparable to Pei Qiyin's, which are extremely sensitive.
The two men didn't dare to move at all, even breathing as lightly as possible, for fear of making any more noise and attracting crossbow attacks.
Just like that, the two of them hugged each other, Pei Qiyin on top and Lin Feng on the bottom, neither daring to move.
In the darkness, the alley became quiet, and the other party seemed to be searching for a target.
Because it just rolled over in a hurry and then stopped instantly.
At this time, the enemy temporarily lost its target, and both of them needed to adjust their posture, but they did not dare to move too much.
Pei Qiyin twisted her waist slightly, which made Lin Feng grimace.
The two of them connected seamlessly, their bodies pressed together. Pei Qiyin's movement naturally made Lin Feng a little unbearable.
The familiar body fragrance permeates my nostrils, and my bodies are in such close contact.
Lin Feng was embarrassed, and his body reacted naturally.
Pei Qiyin naturally felt it very clearly. He turned his head slightly. Although he couldn't see each other clearly, he could feel their two hearts beating faster and faster.
The two of them spent every day together, with Pei Qiyin taking care of Lin Feng's daily life. They were already very familiar with each other, but had never been in such close contact.
Lin Feng didn't need to explain, Pei Qiyin also understood that he didn't mean it.
However, the two of them did not dare to move.
If this continued, Lin Feng really couldn't stand it anymore, so he twisted it slightly.
Who would have thought that such a slight movement would make Pei Qiyin unable to hold back and he couldn't suppress a soft hum.
The two of them immediately realized that something was wrong and rolled over to avoid it.
The crossbow arrow shot in instantly, hitting the bluestone behind him with a loud bang.
They were very surprised at each other's hearing, which was so good.
This is not a solution. After the alley became quiet again, Lin Feng moved his mouth to Pei Qiyin's ear.
"You're disturbing his hearing, so I'm going to kill him."
Because he didn't dare to make too much noise, Lin Feng spoke very softly.
Pei Qiyin couldn't hear clearly, so he had to move his ear forward, and their cheeks touched each other.
She was still wearing clothes, but her face was not. As soon as they made contact, Pei Qiyin's body suddenly became weak. In addition, they were very familiar with each other and had already developed feelings for each other during their daily contact.
This made her feel weak all over and she almost collapsed on Lin Feng.
There's no way. I've never touched a man's body like this before. I know it mentally, but I can't refuse it physically.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and had to hug Pei Qiyin tightly, not daring to move.
I originally wanted to calm down and then take the next step.
However, Lin Feng felt that the plump body lying on him was getting hotter and hotter.
In the spring and summer, with thin clothing and bodies touching, the two young bodies can’t help but feel attached.
Lin Feng temporarily gave up fighting back against the killer, and the two of them hugged each other quietly in the corner.
As his breathing rose and fell, he could feel the softness on his chest and the heat on his cheeks.
There was also a stream of heat from the breath, ironing the auricle of his ears.
After an unknown amount of time, Pei Qiyin's cheek moved slightly, and he and Lin Feng simultaneously felt the other's increasingly rapid breathing.
In the dark alley, a dark shadow was hiding in a side doorway, holding a crossbow in his hand, with his head lowered, listening carefully to the movements around him.
He seemed to have lost his target, and in the silence, he couldn't locate himself clearly.
After many years of career as a killer, he is very clear about the current situation. The best way is to be patient with the opponent.
All the soldiers in this area were led away, and both ends of the alley were also controlled.
In the short term, no one will come to disturb his actions.
He calmed down, almost stopping breathing, and the sounds around him became clearer and clearer.
He could even hear the gentle breeze, the leaves, the insects, the dry grass on the wall, and so on, all in great detail.
Finally, he heard a strange sound, very soft, but continuous.
