Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 936 The Ideal Retreat

Lin Feng also stood up, brushed off the dust, and followed a group of guards into the Green Manor.

From the outside, tall wooden stakes blocked the view, but once inside the manor, everyone was immediately stunned by the spacious courtyard.

The front yard of the manor was just like a racecourse, with streams and rockery made of rocks.

The small bridge, flowing water and houses create a completely tranquil manor scenery.

Lin Feng opened his mouth and took a long time to close it.

“What a great place.”

Pei Qiyin smiled and said, "General, is this your ideal place to retire?"

"Yeah, ideal, even more ideal than my ideal."

Ye Liangcai had been following them and muttered when he saw this.

"This isn't just any landlord, even a big landlord wouldn't be able to..."

Lin Feng nodded affirmatively: "Yes, this guy, let's check later to see if he has paid taxes according to the rules."

Pei Qiyin clapped his hands: "It's over, the owner of this house must regret letting us in."

"It's destined by heaven that I want to evade taxes, hehe..."

A family member from the manor led a group of guards to a house.

Although the furniture is not exquisite, it is complete.

The tables, chairs, benches, doors and windows are carved, and the floor is made of blue bricks, which are flat and clean.

There were more than twenty people inside, but it didn't seem crowded. Everyone found a place to sit down and waited for others to come up to the water.

There were also two guards standing outside the house on sentry duty, and another guard trailing behind in the distance.

This arrangement is to prevent others from wiping out their entire nest.

Although this possibility is small, we still have to be on guard.

A servant from the manor brought in some clean water, and after asking, the guards found out that this was indeed the southern foot of Tianzhi Mountain, 220 miles away from Tianzhi City.

The manor here is very big, with an area of ​​unknown miles in radius. The owner's surname is Wu.

Now that the location was determined, Pei Qiyin immediately sent guards to Tianzhi Mansion to mobilize people, so as to find Lin Feng's revolver as soon as possible.

So far, the revolver is Lin Feng's powerful weapon against the masters of the hidden sects. Lin Feng's swordsmanship cannot keep up with their speed.

They couldn't leave until the main force arrived.

Because the war horses were still stationed at the foot of the northern slope of Tianzhi Mountain, if Lin Feng wanted to turn around, he would have to walk hundreds of miles, and he couldn't bear to rely solely on his own two legs to travel.

Of course, the main reason was that he was unwilling to walk, and even more unwilling to let Pei Qiyin walk.

After walking hundreds of miles, even the most delicate feet will become braised pork feet.

Therefore, someone was asked to discuss with the people in the manor, buy some food, and then wait here for the large army from Tianzhifu City to arrive.

However, after discussion, the owner of the manor did not agree to let them stay here any longer and refused to lend them the horses.

The guard who originally wanted to borrow a horse to go to Tianzhifu City to report the news had to go on foot.

Walking more than 200 miles on foot would probably take two more days, which was something Lin Feng would not allow to happen.

"Qiyin, take your men to find their boss, explain the situation clearly, and try to make as much compensation as possible."

Lin Feng said with a serious face.

This was the biggest concession he made by suppressing his anger.

A manor owner who didn't even know whether he had paid taxes according to the law dared to refuse Lin Feng's request. Not to mention in the eight prefectures of Zhenxi, even in the territory of Dazheng, no one would dare to be so disrespectful.

Pei Qiyin agreed and went out with two guards.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped and brought back as soon as he went out. He saw a lot of young and strong men gathered outside the house, holding shovels, sickles, hoes and other farm tools in their hands.

Lin Feng received the report and stood in the house looking outside.

Hundreds of young farmers, holding farm tools, stood silently more than thirty steps away, looking at this side.

Pei Qiyin stood beside Lin Feng, frowned and spoke softly.

"General, these people don't look like farmers."

Lin Feng nodded: "Well, I think he looks more like a soldier."

"How to do?"

"What are you afraid of? With the farm tools in their hands, they can defy fate."

Lin Feng's guards, except for the lack of war horses, are fully equipped with shotguns, crossbows and steel knives. If a fight breaks out, these more than one hundred people will not be enough.

Such a team, even if it were several times larger, would not have much killing power.

The two sides confronted each other silently for nearly a quarter of an hour, and then a middle-aged man hurried over.

The middle-aged man was sweating profusely and looked anxious.

"Oh, what should we do? My lords, the master told us before we left that we cannot let anyone stay overnight. This is the rule, and we dare not break the master's rules..."

Pei Qiyin was speechless and turned to look at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Seeing that hard tactics didn't work, I started playing the pity card. Unfortunately, I'm a person who doesn't respond to soft tactics."

No matter what the reason, Lin Feng and more than 20 others stayed in such a large manor for one night, waiting for the arrival of the large army from Tianzhi Prefecture City, which had no impact on the manor.

But they just don’t let us stay overnight. What’s so strange about that?

They wouldn’t even lend us a horse, and they wouldn’t even rent it for money.

Lin Feng also felt that it was really fucked up.

The middle-aged man slapped his thigh in anxiety.

"Look, look, I let you in to have some water and rest. I don't expect you to be grateful, but I can't be unreasonable, can I?"

Lin Feng walked forward a few steps and stood across the courtyard gate.

"Tell me, what effect will it have on you if we stay here for one night?"

The middle-aged man said anxiously, "Sir, I just said that no one dares to break the rules of the master's house. Please have mercy on us servants."

Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you, let your manager come over and talk."

"I am the steward here. The master is out and has not returned yet, so I will speak for now."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Then wait until your boss comes back and we'll talk. I promise not to embarrass you. Whether you want money or apology, we will accept it."

"But...but..."

The butler wanted to argue, but Lin Feng's face darkened.

"Either do it, or go prepare food for us. Otherwise, you've heard of the name of the Zhenxi Army."

The first time Lin Feng spoke harshly to ordinary people was because these people did not look like farmers, and he refused to let them stay overnight even if they were paid.

There is something illogical about this matter.

The housekeeper rolled his eyes.

"I heard that the Zhenxi Army never troubled the people, but it turned out to be a rumor."

Pei Qiyin laughed and said, "Wherever the Zhenxi Army goes, they are welcomed by the people. But judging from your behavior, I think you are not ordinary people, right?"

The housekeeper quickly said, "We are ordinary people. We cultivate the land, pay taxes, obey the law, and live honestly. We don't want to cause any more trouble."

Lin Feng nodded frequently: "Yeah, judging by what you said, I know that ordinary people are far inferior to you."

The steward bowed and said, "My dear soldiers, please leave. We farmers cannot afford to get involved in war."

Ye Liangcai couldn't help but said angrily: "Our Zhenxi Army is to eliminate the war disaster for the people of Zhenxi, how can we say that we are causing trouble?"
