Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 696: The Luck of Repeated Victory

After two battles, Wang Qian felt that his soldiers were extremely exhausted.

As the sun was setting, he waited until the battlefield was cleaned up before leading his troops into Qiancheng.

Lin Feng won both battles, causing an uproar in the entire Kyoto city.

Whether it was the common people, civil and military officials, people inside and outside the palace, or Emperor Zhao Zhen, they were all greatly surprised.

It is obvious that Lin Feng is indeed much more powerful than Master Wan.

Not only did they not lose an inch of territory, but they also killed countless Black Turban Army soldiers and captured more than 10,000 Taisho Imperial Guards.

This is a great victory, an indisputable victory.

For this purpose, Zhao Zhen issued an edict to choose an auspicious day for a grand banquet for his ministers.

Congratulations to Lin Feng, the commander of the Imperial Guards, for the victory.

As an emperor, everything must be done with a sense of ceremony. For many years, there has been no such festive atmosphere in the palace.

Led by Zhu Qisheng, all the palace maids and eunuchs were dispatched to begin decorating the banquet hall.

The banquet hall this time was located in the Qingde Hall, which was the largest hall in the imperial palace.

The Qingde Hall, which was already extremely luxurious with its carved beams and painted rafters, was decorated even more brilliantly.

Countless palace maids and eunuchs were busy coming in and out like ants.

Zhao Tianyu also visited the scene in person to provide guidance, pointing out inappropriate places from time to time and demanding immediate rectification.

Zhu Qisheng was also surprised that the eldest princess had always been dismissive of these occasions.

What's wrong with you today? You've been wandering around here for a long time, but you're still not tired.

Looking at her excited face, sweat was oozing out of her fair and delicate cheeks.

Zhu Qisheng could only follow her and listen carefully to her every instruction.

"Hey, how can you put something like this here? It looks too tacky. Remove it. I have a bonsai in my room. Go move it over and put it here."

Immediately, the palace maids and eunuchs obeyed the order and walked out quickly.

"Also, since we are celebrating the Royal Guards' great victory, we should have Lin Feng sit higher so that the entire hall can see him."

Zhu Qisheng quickly agreed and asked a young eunuch to write it down in a notebook.

"Here, here, put an eight-panel screen and place two people behind it. If you drink too much or your clothes get soiled by soup, you'll have a place to change away from others."

"Hey, the princess is right. We'll do it right away."

Zhu Qisheng followed Zhao Tianyu and felt a little dizzy from running around.

I just hope that this lady will leave quickly, as I still have a lot of things to do.

Not to mention the festivities in Kyoto.

The Taisho era Luo City was filled with gloom and sadness. The Taisho Emperor Zhao Zheng sat on the dragon throne in a daze with a gloomy face.

He just couldn't understand why his army of 200,000 couldn't defeat a country bumpkin officer from Zhenxi?

Whether it was Luo Yunfei or Qiu Jie, they were both famous generals of the former Dazong Dynasty.

It took a lot of effort to win him over to my camp.

Why did he become a coward once he faced Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army?

Zhao Zheng was both angry and curious about Lin Feng. What kind of person was he? Was he a god sent by God to oppose him?

Looking at the battle report in his hand, he realized that he had lost more than 40,000 people in just one day and one night.

The powerful Black Scarf Army was almost wiped out.

Zhao Zheng felt so distressed that he was shaking all over.

It felt like someone was squeezing his heart, making it impossible for him to breathe.

There was no one else in the study. He bent down, trying to relieve himself, but suddenly his vision went dark and he fell headfirst to the ground.

Suddenly, there was no one behind him, but a pair of hands suddenly appeared and supported Zhao Zheng.

"Master, why bother with this? Why not just let me kill Lin Feng?"

Zhao Zheng was speechless and just waved his hands.

He sat back down in his chair, feeling a little more relaxed after a moment.

"I feel this person's luck has not yet run out. I'm afraid you'll die there if you go."

"Master, you've exaggerated his abilities..."

Zhao Zheng interrupted him: "Let me think about it carefully before making any plans."

Seeing that Zhao Zheng had indeed returned to normal, those hands suddenly disappeared into space.

To outsiders, behind Zhao Zheng's dragon throne was just a tall jade screen with landscapes and figures painted on it, nothing unusual.

"Someone, tell Lan Yu, Miao Changfeng, and Luo Yunfei to come see me."

Someone outside the door answered.

More than 100,000 rebels outside Kyoto began to evacuate one after another, and teams of Taisho Imperial Guards slowly retreated from the foot of the Acropolis.

This proves that the rebels' direct battle with Lin Feng ended in failure.

The whole city of Kyoto celebrated.

Those officials and common people who had not left the city were overjoyed and went out to tell others the news.

Everywhere in the streets and alleys, people were filled with joy, discussing the good news of the great victory over the rebels.

Inside the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

Grand Tutor Wan and Zhao Wenqi were sitting in the study drinking tea.

The two were silent, with only the sound of breathing, some light and some heavy, being heard.

After a while, Grand Tutor Wan sighed softly.

"Alas, maybe I am really old..."

Although Zhao Wenqi did not petition, he still remained strong.

"Grandmaster, perhaps Lin Feng was just lucky."

"Haha, a fluke?"

Grand Tutor Wan shook his head: "We were lucky enough to fight our way here from the west of the city, and we've won every battle. This is too much luck."

"I have to say, this kid's luck is too incredible."

"Wen Qi, you and I have known each other for many years, and we can be said to be close friends. I won't hide it. I may have won battles by luck, but if you say that there is no luck in defeat on the battlefield, who can you remember from ancient times to the present?"

Zhao Wenqi sighed dejectedly: "Grandmaster, Wenqi is just dissatisfied in his heart."

Grand Tutor Wan was even more dissatisfied, but continuing the discussion would only lead to boredom.

"I don't know how the three strong men are doing. Can you ask someone?"

Zhao Wenqi smiled bitterly and said, "Grandmaster, I heard that Zhao Gui is not dead."

"Well, where is he?"

"I served as a soldier in Lin Feng's army."

Master Wan narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"you mean..."

"Grand Master, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rescue Jiao Sanqiang. Zhao Gui willingly joined the army to be his pawn. In Dazong, I'm afraid he wouldn't even listen to the emperor's words..."

He couldn't continue and could only shake his head and sigh.

"This person is very dangerous, we need to prepare early."

"Grandmaster, how should we prepare?"

Grand Tutor Wan pondered for a moment and said, "You and I, along with Tang Bingqian, will go to the Emperor and explain the interests involved clearly so His Majesty is fully aware of the situation."

Zhao Wenqi frowned and said, "The three of us are all good at fighting. I wonder what Prime Minister Han thinks?"

Grand Tutor Wan stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

The prime minister is the head of all officials. With him, both civil and military officials are in control.

Your Majesty must consider this issue carefully.

"Okay, I'll invite Prime Minister Han to come to my house for a meeting in my name."

Zhao Wenqi clapped his hands: "That's very good."

At the same time, a middle-aged man was sitting in King Rui's study.

Prince Lu Zhao Bing was glaring at Prince Rui Zhao Xun with anger.

"Zhao Xun, your son followed Lin Feng and was able to lead an army on his own. I have no problem with that, but you let Gui'er run away to be a soldier. What do you think about that?"

"Hey, Third Brother, Zhao Gui got into big trouble, why didn't you mention it?"
