Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 778: Do I See Blood or Do I Bleed?

Lin Feng turned his head and squinted his eyes to look.

"Well, it seems to be a canal. The west of the town is short of water, so they asked all places to build more canals so that more wasteland can be reclaimed."

"Then if there is water, can the desolate west of Zhen be able to produce more food?"

"That's natural. If there's water, there's food. If there's no water, there's nothing to talk about."

Hongxiao turned to look at Lin Feng.

"General, I find that you really care about the people."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "I don't need you to find out. Justice is in the hearts of the people."

"So, you became the enemy of the court officials."

Lin Feng sighed, "It's hard to say. If their interests are violated, anyone would be sad or even resentful."

"Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?"

Lin Feng shook his head and said nothing.

Hong Xiao didn't continue the topic. Suddenly she thought of something, put down her telescope, and came to Lin Feng's side.

"General, don't you think we're taking it easy?"

As a former top killer in the dark, Hong Xiao is naturally alert, which is also a kind of protection for the environment and her own safety.

Before leaving the organization, Hong Xiao had been wandering the world alone, skeptical of everything and wary of everyone around her.

Lin Feng frowned and reviewed what had happened in the past few days.

"I don't think they're running out of tricks. They're definitely going to have a back-up plan, but for now, we seem to have the upper hand."

Hong Xiao stared at Lin Feng's expression for a long time.

"General, I always feel uneasy and I don't know why."

"It's a good thing to be vigilant. We need to be cautious with every step."

Hongxiao turned her head and looked around. She didn't know what the problem was.

The two sat at the top of the slope and fell silent for a while.

Suddenly, a guard shouted loudly.

"General, someone is coming over there."

Hong Xiao quickly raised her telescope and looked in the direction the guard pointed.

Two people appeared in Qianlimu's vision, one adult and one child. Unlike the others, these two people were dressed in green Taoist robes.

"General, they are two Taoist priests."

Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "Go get our equipment. No matter who they are, we must be wary of them."

Hong Xiao dodged and rushed towards the carriage.

Lin Feng's equipment was his steel knife and a short knife he carried with him, so he had no need for a bow and arrow at this time.

Hong Xiao brought him a steel knife and a small package, and tied them around her waist.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two Taoists slowly walked over.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the adult Taoist priest had a face as white as jade, his hair was combed high in a Taoist bun, and he was about forty or fifty years old. He was wearing a tight green Taoist robe, had a package on his back, and held a bamboo staff in his hand.

She was followed by a Taoist boy, about eleven or twelve years old, with bright eyes and a whisk in his hand, following her closely.

A big one and a small one came up to the crowd.

Ye Liangcai stood in the middle of the slope, separating Lin Feng and the Taoist priests, and looked at the two Taoist priests vigilantly.

Four guards stood around, shotguns in hand.

Lin Feng discovered that this Taoist priest was a woman, and it was unreasonable for her to walk alone with a child in such a desolate place.

There is definitely a problem, but if it is a killer, the way he appeared is too gentle.

To come in so blatantly like this, he must either have extremely high skills or be too arrogant.

or it could be...

They are just two Taoist priests.

The female Taoist priest stood with one hand in front of her chest, made a finger gesture, and said something.

"Wulian Tianzun, fellow believers, are you from Qiliqu Town?"

Ye Liangcai asked back: "Master, where are you going?"

"I am Zhen Zhuo, from Yuquan Temple on Yufu Mountain. It is fate that we meet. May I ask you about my future?"

While they were talking, Hong Xiao raised her clairvoyance and looked around, and found that there was no one else around.

The middle-aged female Taoist priest and a Taoist boy in front of them obviously could not pose a threat to these guards who were armed with live ammunition.

Hong Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head gently at Lin Feng, indicating that there was nothing unusual.

Lin Feng frowned and stared at the female Taoist priest, always feeling that this person was a little different.

However, the exact difference has not yet been analyzed.

Ye Liangcai also felt that the two Taoist priests, one big and one small, posed no threat to them, so he asked with a smile.

"Excuse me, Taoist priest, what is my future like?"

Taoist Master Zhen Zhuo looked carefully at Ye Liangcai's expression and pondered for a moment.

"Alas, this believer has red foreheads and hard cheeks. He may have a bloody disaster in the near future."

"Am I seeing blood, or am I bleeding?"

Ye Liangcai still asked with a smile.

His job is to bleed. There is a huge difference between bleeding others and bleeding yourself.

"Both. Believers should not be careless, otherwise their lives will be in danger."

Taoist Master Zhen Zhuo's expression was solemn.

"Thank you for your guidance, Taoist priest. I will be careful."

Ye Liangcai didn't take it seriously. It was normal for someone to bleed a little.

Surrounded by masters, others may hide away, but he cannot hide away. Instead, he has to stand forward and fight for his life.

Taoist Master Zhen Zhuo glanced at everyone, shook his head slightly and sighed, then walked forward.

Hong Xiao wanted to step forward to stop them, but was stopped by Lin Feng.

"Don't be nosy, just let them go."

Everyone looked quietly at the two people walking slowly forward.

Just as the two of them passed by Lin Feng's carriage, Wooden Face suddenly appeared, stopped them, and pointed at himself.

Taoist Master Zhen Zhuo stared at the wooden face for a while, then turned his head to look at Lin Feng who was standing at the top of the slope.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke.

"As a human being in this new life, you must learn to cherish your life. I have some elixirs that can help you get rid of your old illness."

The Taoist boy took out a porcelain bottle from his package, pulled out the cork, poured out a pill, and handed it to the wooden-faced man.

Wooden-faced man held the pill respectfully in both hands, then bowed repeatedly to Taoist Master Zhen to express his gratitude.

Seeing that he was very respectful, Zhen Zhuo smiled kindly.

"Why not go to Yuquan Temple? It's peaceful and quiet there, and it can help you get rid of your worries."

Wooden Face shook his head, then took a step aside to make way.

Although their conversation was quiet, Lin Feng and Hong Xiao could hear it clearly with their good hearing.

Lin Feng turned to look at Hong Xiao with a hesitant look.

Hong Xiao immediately knew what Lin Feng was thinking and hurriedly walked towards Zhen Zhuo.

Just as Taoist Master Zhen was about to move forward with the Taoist boy, Hong Xiao had already arrived in front of them with a smile on her face.

"Master, I heard that you have a pill that can cure old illnesses. Could you give me one?"

Zhen Zhuo looked Hong Xiao up and down, then smiled.

"The girl's illness is in her heart. She can go to Yuquan Temple and it will surely help to relieve her worries."

Hong Xiao was stunned, as Zhen Zhuo had hit the nail on the head.

She escaped from the darkness because she didn't want to kill anymore. The more people died at her hands, the heavier the psychological burden on her.

Unexpectedly, a Taoist priest saw through my plan today.

Hong Xiao looked at Zhen Zhuo carefully again and felt that the Taoist priest in front of her was becoming more and more unfathomable.

After calming herself down a bit, Hong Xiao bowed and said.

"I'm asking for medicine for someone, I don't know..."
