Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 752 Father is Critically Ill

Just as he entered a state of selflessness and insight, a soldier quietly walked in, came close to Pei Qiyin, and whispered.

Pei Qiyin immediately looked at Lin Feng nervously.

Although Lin Feng was in the right state of sword practice, he felt everything around him in a more subtle way.

The expression on Pei Qiyin's face was reflected very clearly in his mind.

Lin Fengshou held the knife, his breath was steady, as if he had gained something.

Pei Qiyin hurriedly took a few steps forward.

"General, there is urgent news from the west of the town."

Lin Feng rolled his eyes. Zhenxi had been built very solid by him. What serious event could happen?

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat and he turned to look at Pei Qiyin.

Pei Qiyin saw his expression and knew that Lin Feng had thought of the key point, and then nodded at him.

"Your father is critically ill."

"How is that possible? Even if I don't say how healthy he is, at least he's still in his prime..."

Pei Qiyin pinched the report in his hand.

"General, it is reported that an old illness has recurred."

Lin Feng knew that his father was disabled in his lower limbs because he fell off a horse.

Could it be...

"Have you confirmed it?"

"The government office also attached the official document, so its authenticity should be beyond doubt."

Lin Feng fell silent.

The current situation is very delicate. He is playing a game with the entire court. Moreover, no one can replace him, Lin Feng.

If he leaves, all confrontations will be put on hold or his side will fail.

However, my father was critically ill. In this era, critically ill means that he is no longer able to be cured and it is time to prepare for his funeral.

He and Lin Mao should be father and son physically, but their souls have changed.

In this era, an unfilial person will be despised and scorned by others, which will destroy his own image.

No one will loyally follow a disloyal and unfilial person.

So, I have to go back.

It's a long journey, and once I leave, I can't predict what will happen to the situation in Kyoto.

Pei Qiyin fully understood Lin Feng's feelings, but there was no solution to this problem.

You have to take care of both your career and your family.

If you want to take care of your family, you have to put your career aside.

If you focus on your career and ignore your family, it will definitely have a great impact on your career.

This aspect must take into account how great its influence is.

The journey is long and it will take more than a day or two.

Even if you hide this trip from everyone.

But as time goes on, the situation will inevitably change, and if it cannot be handled in time, losses will inevitably occur.

Lin Feng pondered for a while and said in a deep voice.

"Go and call Hu Jincai over here."

Wen Jian turned around to convey the order.

Pei Qiyin frowned and said, "General, are you going back to Zhenxi?"

Lin Feng nodded: "We must go back, and we should go back and take a look. Lingdouzi Castle is the foundation of our country."

"But the situation in Kyoto is turbulent. If you leave..."

"Old Hu should be able to hold his own. Besides, he'll probably be back in about a month."

"A lot of people are waiting for you to make a mistake."

"From all aspects, it's not a big problem."

As the two were talking, Hu Jin stepped in.

"Boss, you're looking for me?"

Lin Feng nodded and signaled Pei Qiyin to show the report in his hand to Hu Jincai.

Hu Jincai took the report with a puzzled look on his face, glanced at it, then looked up and glared at Lin Feng.

"Boss...is this...real?"

"Even if it's fake, it's still an open conspiracy. I have to make this trip."

Hu Jincai shook his head: "It shouldn't be fake. Wei Bao is not that careless."

"Well, I called you over here because I wanted to explain a few current issues to you that require your attention."

Hu Jincai said nothing else, knowing that Lin Feng had to go to Zhenxi this time, so he just nodded seriously and waited for Lin Feng to speak.

"The imperial court is trying to force us to pay taxes. The treasury is out of money. Officials haven't received their salaries in a long time. Many honest officials can't even afford to eat."

"Boss, how do we solve this?"

Lin Feng sighed: "Originally I wanted to investigate a few corrupt officials, but now..."

Hu Jincai smiled bitterly: "Boss, I can't do this without you."

"I know you can't do it, but I just hope you can withstand the pressure from the court."

"I'm just hiding from them."

"Well, hiding is also an option. As long as you stand firm, the Royal Guards will not fall."

Hu Jincai's face was full of wrinkles: "Boss, how long have you been here?"

"About a month and a half."

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"The two countries are in a standoff, and it's relatively stable. You should only defend, not attack."

"clear."

"If you have any questions, use your brain and consult Luo Shidong."

Hu Jincai was stunned: "Luo Shidong?"

"This man was originally the general of the Southern Frontier Army. He is a veteran, smart, and calm in the face of difficulties. He disagrees with the court and can give you some advice."

"Understood, don't worry, Boss."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and waved his hand.

"It's only forty or fifty days. I'll keep it a secret for as long as I can. It's nothing serious. I'll just rush back as soon as possible."

Pei Qiyin couldn't help but persuade.

"General, this journey is not peaceful, and we cannot make a big show of it. It will be very difficult if we accompany a large army."

Hu Jincai also advised: "This matter cannot be concealed. We must send more people to accompany us, otherwise..."

Lin Feng shook his head: "As long as I leave here openly, those guys will definitely pounce on me, and you won't be able to resist."

Hu Jincai remained silent.

He knew his own weight, and he felt a little timid even when facing the princes and ministers, let alone the emperor.

Pei Qiyin asked anxiously.

"General, do you have any plans?"

Lin Feng turned and looked at the yard.

"This place is great. Tell everyone I'm in seclusion here, researching new weapons, and no one is allowed to disturb me."

"and then?"

"Wen Jian and Bu Yunting are outside, and you are inside. You should keep it a secret for as long as you can."

Pei Qiyin widened his eyes.

"General, shall I stay too?"

Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "If you weren't here, who would believe I was here?"

"No, I am responsible for your safety."

"If no one knows I'm leaving, what's the safety issue?"

Pei Qiyin shook his head and said, "The information in this report will definitely not be hidden from the eyes and ears of certain people. As long as they judge that you will return, they may send people to test you. I'm afraid you will be exposed soon."

Hu Jincai nodded in agreement.

"Boss, as long as they come here with a purpose, the result will be very pessimistic."

Lin Feng frowned and said nothing, wondering how to solve this problem.

Hu Jincai's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Boss, how about this? Let's say there's a technical problem at the Shanglin Shipyard. You can go to Shanglin and then quietly return to Zhenxi from Shanglin..."

Lin Feng clapped his hands. "That makes sense. Gunpowder production in Shanglin is an important industry for us, so it must be well-protected. Ordinary people can't enter there."

"Well, once we get to Shanglin Mansion, this matter will be much easier to handle."

Pei Qiyin also thought this was feasible.

Lin Feng patted Hu Jincai on the shoulder.

"Okay, Lao Hu, I feel more at ease having you here."

Hu Jincai scratched his head and laughed.

"They are all from old university, hehe."
