Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 729 Almost Getting into Action

A centurion on duty shouted orders to his soldiers and led his men to run towards the city.

Fifty soldiers lined up in two rows, raised their spears and aimed them at the cavalry.

The centurion shouted loudly: "Who are you? Stop! Halt!"

The soldier running in the front responded loudly.

"Imperial Guard Commander Lin Feng is leading his troops out of the city. Please open the gates immediately and do not delay military operations."

The centurion understood, but the rules had just been changed. The commander of the Royal Guard, General Xu, had issued a strict order that no one could open the city gate without seeing his badge and hand order.

"I heard you clearly. Please show me the order from General Xu, the commander of the Imperial Guard. Otherwise, the city will not be opened."

Xu Jin was trapped in the cavalry and felt proud when he heard the soldier say this.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, a soldier reached out and pulled the badge out from his waist.

Xu Jin widened his eyes and opened his mouth to shout.

Who knew that the next moment, a steel knife would pierce his throat.

Xu Jin's words were stuck in his throat and he dared not make a sound.

Someone handed Xu Jin's badge to the soldier guarding the city.

The centurion looked at the badge carefully in confusion, muttering to himself.

Why didn’t you show it just now? Did you have to make me shout?

However, the other party was Lin Feng's army, which was considered to give him enough face. He also had the badge of the commander of the Royal Guard Battalion in his hand. There was no reason not to open the door and let them pass.

While he was thinking about it, a leader of the cavalry on the opposite side had already raised his arm.

The soldiers around also raised their crossbows, and the soldiers in front pointed their spears forward.

Just as the leader was about to swing his arm down, he heard the centurion shout.

"Come on, open the gate and the bridge, everyone get out of the way."

The soldiers guarding the middle of the road immediately scattered to both sides, making way for the middle road.

Some soldiers went to open the city gate, and some ran to the city to lower the drawbridge.

The leader of Wang Qian's men shook his head and smiled bitterly, then raised his arm and waved it forward, signaling the troops to leave the city.

After a busy period, six thousand cavalrymen stepped out of the west gate of Kyoto City one after another.

Xu Jin was desperate and had no tears to cry.

Am I stupid, or am I stupid?

Not only did he believe in Wan Zhuo's ability, but he also believed in some top killer who was in the dark.

I was eager for quick success and stood in front of other people's doors, wanting to be the first to see the results.

I didn't expect that someone would grab it easily.

Xu Jin was filled with regret, knowing that he would not be able to withstand the torture.

Not to mention the severe punishments, even the mild ones are too much for me to handle...

Prince Rui's Mansion.

Prince Rui Zhao Xun did not sleep all night.

He was anxiously awaiting the results.

Moreover, the results would be different, and he had already mentally prepared for different outcomes.

Once Lin Feng was plotted against by Wan Zhuo and others.

How should he take over the Imperial Guards, pretend to be sympathetic, find the murderer, and uphold the justice and strictness of the laws of the clan in front of Lin Feng's men.

If Lin Feng was fine, he would have to pretend to be stupid.

He knew nothing, he just wanted to mediate the misunderstanding between Xu Jin and Lin Feng, so that the two commanders of the Imperial Guards could get along more harmoniously and serve the clan together.

In this way, Zhao Xun thought about it over and over again and waited all night.

As dawn approached, a butler came quickly to the door.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

When Zhao Xun heard the housekeeper's soft call, he stood up, opened the door, and walked out.

The two men came to the yard, and Zhao Xun turned to look at the housekeeper.

"Your Highness, at the beginning of the Yin hour, Lin Feng led 6,000 cavalrymen, carrying the badge of the commander of the personal guard battalion, and left from the west city of Kyoto."

Prince Rui frowned: "Where's Xu Jin?"

The butler shook his head: "Your Highness, General Xu is missing."

"Go and call Wan Zhuo to see me."

The butler took the order and left.

Wan Zhuo was standing in the flower hall of Jinsan Bookstore in a daze at this time.

Yinxiang and Liu Shuxue stood in the corner, with their heads down, not daring to speak.

"Have you seen Zhao Mengfei?"

The two women shook their heads.

There was a fierce look in Wan Zhuo's narrow eyes.

"You should go back to the house first."

Liu Shuxue hurriedly went upstairs to her room.

Yinxiang stepped forward and approached Wanzhuo.

"Sir, last night Lin Feng was indeed pulled into the room by Shu Xue. I also went to the next room to listen. They definitely went to bed, but afterwards..."

She shook her head.

It’s not that she didn’t hear it, but Yinxiang was asleep at that time.

Wan Zhuo was speechless. He received a report early in the morning that Lin Feng's troops had left the city and there was no result from Jinsan Bookstore.

He rushed over, and there was nothing, as if nothing had happened.

It seems that I must find Liu Shuxue to ask her clearly. She is the person involved, how could she not know anything about it? I don’t need to use some tricks. This woman won’t tell the truth.

Wan Zhuo raised his leg and walked upstairs.

Yinxiang followed behind him and spoke softly in a somewhat anxious tone.

"Sir, Shuxue and Linfeng are..."

"I don't need you to teach me."

Wan Zhuo was angry, but he immediately realized that Liu Shuxue might not be able to move for the time being, and he didn't know how Lin Feng would treat him next.

Suddenly, a servant ran in at the door.

"Master Wan, someone has come from the Rui Palace and wants you to come over immediately."

Wan Zhuo paused, turned around and thought for a moment.

"Okay, let's go."

After saying that, he didn't bother to look for Liu Shuxue. He hurried downstairs and headed for Prince Rui's Mansion.

After talking with Wan Zhuo, King Rui came to a terrible conclusion.

Xu Jin has been taken away by Lin Feng.

Also taken away at the same time was Zhao Mengfei.

Because Xu Jin stayed with Lin Feng the whole night, and people from Jinsan Bookstore also saw Xu Jin sitting in the flower hall drinking tea.

Later, the entire yard was placed under martial law and no one knew what had happened.

Zhao Mengfei asked to hide in Jinsan Bookstore and wait for follow-up processing, but he disappeared without a trace.

Lin Feng's six thousand troops were like a whirlwind, sweeping through the Jinsan Bookstore without leaving any trace.

The only ones who didn't move were Liu Shuxue, who had lured Lin Feng to stay overnight, and Yinxiang, the owner of Jinsan Bookstore, who was waiting by his side.

Prince Rui had a headache. Xu Jin was the chief guard of the emperor. He had just been transferred to be the commander of the personal guard camp when he was captured by Lin Feng. His life or death was unknown.

How should he respond next?

The commander of his personal guard camp is missing, so he can't act crazy or stupid.

At least he couldn't hide it from the emperor.

Prince Rui Zhao Xun finally calmed down. He had reflected on his behavior over and over again. Whenever he wanted to plot against Lin Feng, it always gave him a headache.

Facts have proved many times that he really cannot beat Lin Feng.

It was hard for him to accept that a prince was repeatedly defeated by the young people under his jurisdiction.

At this point, Prince Rui Zhao Xun acknowledged this fact from the bottom of his heart.

When Wan Zhuo arrived at the palace and met Prince Rui, he simply bowed.

His father, Grand Tutor Wan Quan, had different political views from Prince Rui and they were always arguing and quarreling with each other.

As a result, people from both camps no longer took each other seriously.

King Rui didn't care and just asked coldly.

"Wan Zhuo, what did you do to Lin Feng?"

"Your Highness, we didn't do anything. We only know that your subordinate, the commander of the personal guard, Xu Jin, might take action against Lin Feng."

Wan Zhuo simply doesn't admit what happened.
