Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 755 The Frightened Rabbit

The carriage was traveling on a smooth official road, not shaking too much, and we could still barely get a cup of tea to drink.

Cui Yichen was very familiar with this path, so he warned Lin Feng.

"Master Lin, a hundred miles from here, you'll enter Dingyuan Prefecture. This road is not safe. Dingyuan Prefecture is a large area, and there are many places that the government cannot take care of. Therefore, many bandits have space to survive."

"Brother Cui, are you saying that there are a lot of bandits here?"

"It's not a lot. It all depends on luck. Cui also brought bodyguards with him. Ordinary bandits can't do anything to him."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I am also a bit skilled in fighting, so I don't need to worry about ordinary bandits."

"Oh? Master Lin looks thin, and has he learned martial arts?"

Lin Feng stretched his arms.

"Lin is a very accurate archer and has also practiced swordsmanship for several years. Usually, four or five men can't get close to him."

Cui Yichen smiled and praised: "Amazing, I didn't expect that Master Lin is both civil and military, haha..."

Obviously, from his expression, he didn't take this matter seriously.

Nowadays, many young rich men would ask a master to teach them some fancy moves, but once they got into the world, they would be at a loss.

The same is probably true for Lin Bai in front of me.

Cui Yichen was very satisfied with his own judgment. He had been doing business for many years and knew countless people, so this was not difficult for him.

"My martial arts skills are okay, but forget about literature. If I could pass the imperial examination, I wouldn't be doing business."

Lin Feng still explained politely.

At this moment, the carriage shook and a teacup on the low table fell over.

"Hurry, Xiaodong, pack up. The road ahead is bumpy and we won't be able to enjoy our tea."

The girl named Xiaodong quickly and swiftly put away the teapot and cups and wiped the coffee table clean.

This fair-skinned little girl is very dexterous and it is a pleasure to watch her work.

Even Hong Xiao, who always had a cold face, became gentle when she looked at her.

The carriage began to shake violently, and people could no longer sit still.

Lin Feng also took the opportunity to say goodbye and took Hong Xiao back to his carriage.

It takes about five days to travel from Shanglin Prefecture to Dingyuan Prefecture by carriage, and two of those nights involve camping in the fields.

Lin Feng had a horse-drawn carriage, but other merchants, bodyguards, and carriage drivers had to sleep outdoors and had no tents available.

Fortunately, the weather was not cold, but there were a lot of mosquitoes.

Dingyuan Prefecture is already on the edge of the Central Plains. The wilderness is much more desolate, and the land is mostly covered with weeds and gravel.

Lin Feng rode in a carriage for a whole day. After setting up camp, he got off the carriage to stretch his arms and legs.

Hongxiao accompanied him for a stroll.

Both of them are masters, and Hong Xiao is a top killer. She is very sensitive to the surrounding environment and can sense any abnormality instantly.

When they came to a slope, they looked at each other and felt that there was someone behind the slope. Although the sound was very soft, it could not escape their ears.

Lin Feng was very surprised. He had walked very secretly, so it was impossible for someone to catch up with him so quickly.

Hong Xiao picked up Lin Feng's knife and pushed it towards him.

Lin Feng took a deep breath silently, took the steel knife, and gripped the handle. The two stood there, waiting for the other to show up.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, no one came out from behind the slope, but the noise became even louder.

It was obvious that it was not one person but two people who were talking quietly.

Lin Feng and Hong Xiao looked at each other and smiled, feeling that they were both too sensitive, like frightened hares.

As we moved closer, the conversation behind the slope became clearer.

From the sound, it was a man and a woman. One was trying hard to persuade, while the other took a long time to say "hmm".

Lin Feng could tell that the man was trying hard to ask the woman to marry him, while the woman was hesitant or too embarrassed to speak.

Lin Feng quietly waved at Hong Xiao, signaling her to step back.

Hongxiao had no problem at all and could move forward and backward freely.

When Lin Feng retreated, he kicked a piece of gravel and rolled down the slope, making a noise.

A man and a woman stood up from behind the slope like frightened deer.

The four people looked at each other awkwardly in the moonlight.

Lin Feng recognized that the girl was Cui Yichen's maid Xiaodong, and the man was a tall and mighty man.

Under the moonlight, one could vaguely see that the man had a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was probably in his thirties.

Lin Feng raised his hand: "Sorry, I misunderstood. We just wandered here and didn't hear anyone here. Please continue..."

After saying this, he turned around and waved to Hongxiao to leave quickly.

He had a very good impression of the girl. Although there was a big age gap between them, it was not a big deal in this era, and he didn't want to disturb her love affair.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, the man shouted softly.

"Stay."

The two men stopped immediately, without turning around, just waiting for the man to speak.

The tall man strode over, walked up to Lin Feng, stared into Lin Feng's eyes, and after a moment.

"Regardless of your identities, I am the leader of this caravan's guards. In a wilderness like this, we often encounter robbers. It's dangerous for you to wander out of camp. Many people who wander out like you have disappeared without a trace. Do you understand?"

Before Lin Feng could say anything, he heard the girl running towards him.

"Gao Tong, they are the master's guests, don't be rude."

"I said, no matter what my identity is, I am doing this for their safety."

"Can't you just talk properly?"

Gao Tong spoke in a very annoyed tone, probably because his confession was interrupted.

"They have to listen to me even if I speak nicely. They don't know if there are bandits around here. If something goes wrong, they will blame me for not protecting them well enough."

"you..."

Lin Feng quickly shook his hand: "Okay, okay, we will go back to the camp immediately and not disturb you two. You guys continue."

After saying that, he turned around and left, with Hong Xiao following closely behind him.

Unexpectedly, the girl named Xiaodong also became angry and followed Lin Feng back, no longer paying attention to Gao Tong.

"Xiaodong, Xiaodong..."

Gao Tong shouted twice but heard no response, so he had no choice but to follow the three people towards the camp. They all walked with their heads down and no one spoke.

After entering the camp, when several people were about to separate, Xiaodong whispered to Lin Feng.

"I'm sorry Mr. Lin, he's just a rough guy."

"No, no, no, it was us who were reckless. Don't take it to heart."

Lin Feng waved goodbye to Xiaodong and turned to walk towards his carriage.

It was not until Lin Feng and Hong Xiao climbed into the carriage that the two of them began to laugh in the dark.

"I was so scared. I thought there was a killer chasing me so fast."

Hong Xiao patted her chest and said.

"I'm also surprised. The news shouldn't have leaked so quickly."

Hong Xiao was stunned: "General, do you think the news will definitely leak out?"

Lin Feng was silent for a moment and nodded secretly.

"Yes, many people knew about my father's critical illness. It was at this time that I went to Shanglin for seclusion. They are not stupid."

Hong Xiao was puzzled: "Then why would you take the risk and bring me out alone?"
