Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1278 I'm afraid I can't handle it

Yan Jin was dumbfounded. He knew his master's abilities very well, and he also knew a little about Lin Feng's methods, but no matter how you looked at it, the gap between the two was too great, and they couldn't be compared at all.

"Master, what have you gained...?"

Yan Su sat cross-legged, having tucked his feet under his legs, so Yan Jin could not see them.

"The treasures on Lin Feng's body can influence the foundation of a sect; they are extremely powerful."

Yan Jin frowned: "Huh? Master, how could a rogue cultivator possess such a treasure?"

Yan Su sneered: "He is indeed unworthy of this treasure. The precious treasure is now in the hands of Taihang or Qinling."

Yan Jin exclaimed in surprise, "Master, do you mean that Lin Feng's most valuable treasure was stolen by these two sects?"

Yan Su ignored his question and said through gritted teeth.

"We must inform the sect leader that such a valuable treasure must be retrieved."

Yan Jin stared blankly at his master, never before revealing his feelings so openly; this was hatred to the extreme.

"Master, are we going to war with the Taihang and Qinling Mountains?"

"Don't ask any more questions. Go and focus on your cultivation. These are matters you can't interfere with."

Yan Jin had no choice but to accept the situation, knowing it was a major event for the sect and that he was not yet of a high enough rank. He could only bow his head in agreement, get up, and leave.

Yan Su pondered to himself, even if they managed to snatch the treasure back, how could such a precious item be mastered in such a short time?

We must take it back with swift and decisive action before they get too comfortable with it.

Of course, there is another important issue: we must capture Lin Feng and force him to reveal how to use the treasure.

Moreover, capturing Lin Feng must take precedence over seizing the treasure.

Naturally, mastering the method of using the treasure is essential to more easily seizing it.

Such a significant matter must be reported to the sect leader so that the entire sect can take it seriously.

The same situation also occurred at Taihang Jianxingmen and Qinling Zhongxingmen.

Gui Ju and Duan Li were both crippled by Lin Feng. After they ran back to the mountains, they were both thinking about this important matter.

Moreover, their thoughts were the same as Yan Su's.

We must also capture Lin Feng and bring him up the mountain before the news gets out, force him to reveal how to use the treasure, and then find a way to seize it.

The three reclusive sects are all making their own plans.

Only on Dongliu Island overseas, the leader of the Wunianliu Sect, Tsuruta Gen, sat alone on the island, sighing silently.

He was also disabled by Lin Feng.

Unlike other sects, Tsuruta Gen is already the highest-ranking member of the Munenryu sect, and there is another elder of similar stature, Oni-maki Shingo, whose whereabouts are currently unknown.

Even though Tsuruta Gen wanted to seize the treasure from Lin Feng, he was powerless to do so and could only lament to himself.

There's also Kunyu Mountain, where Ye Haishan and his disciples have returned.

Ye Haishan lost his spirit and has been in seclusion since returning to the sect, ignoring everything.

The sect leader, Min Surong, had no choice but to pull Ye Haishan's disciple, Rong Rong, closer and question them about the whole story of how the master and disciple went down the mountain.

And whether or not the Discipline Elder Shuqin has been found.

Rong Rong couldn't explain it clearly, and dared not hide anything.

Therefore, Min Surong also learned why Ye Haishan was depressed.

Ye Haishan is the highest-ranking representative of Kunyu Mountain. We cannot watch him sink. We must rouse his spirit and make a final contribution to the sect.

Therefore, Min Surong decided to send another elder down the mountain to invite Lin Feng to join the sect.

While it is said to be an invitation, the specific handling of the matter is entirely up to the elders who will be going down the mountain to carry out the mission.

In an instant, the world was in turmoil, and all the criticism was directed at Lin Feng.

At this moment, Lin Feng was riding his horse leisurely, following dozens of carriages along a narrow dirt road towards the capital city of Taisho.

Now that he knew the carriage was full of rubbish, Lin Feng abandoned all other plans and decided to remain unchanged and see what tricks Pang Jisheng, the chief镖头 (bodyguard) of Hongsheng镖局 (escort agency), could pull.

The convoy has been traveling for three days since it departed from southern Beijing, and is nearly halfway through the journey.

At dusk, the deputy chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) Shang Keshen ordered a halt to the march and to camp in a deserted town.

Along this route, near the border between the Taisho Army and the Zhenxi Army, few villages or towns appeared.

Because it is located on the border between two countries and is a no-man's-land, bandits run rampant, and the people cannot make a living and have no choice but to leave their homes.

The villages and towns here are basically deserted.

The town was filled with dilapidated houses, and weeds grew taller than a person.

Sixty or seventy镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) dispersed into the town and began cleaning the houses, providing a comfortable place for the镖头 (bodyguards/escorts) and镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) to rest.

Lin Feng followed the others into the town, and the carriage stopped in a square overgrown with weeds.

The three brothers entered a house that had collapsed halfway. The garbage had been cleared away, and the floor was barely big enough to lay down bedding.

In the dilapidated courtyard, a porter lit a fire.

Ye Liangcai shot two rabbits and a pheasant along the way, which was just enough for the three of them to have a meat feast.

The bright red flames licked the game on the wooden frame, releasing a fragrant aroma.

Ye Liangcai took out a packet of homemade refined salt and rubbed it on the rabbit meat.

The golden-brown rabbit meat is so tempting that it's hard to look away.

He casually tore off a rabbit leg, along with a large piece of meat, and handed it to Lin Feng.

"Boss, how about you try my cooking?"

Lin Feng took the rabbit leg, took a bite, chewed slowly, and nodded from time to time.

"Yeah, you're almost catching up with me."

Qiao Jushan took out a wine pot from the side and handed it over as well.

"Boss, would you like a bite?"

Lin Feng laughed and said, "You two are well prepared."

"Following the leader in marching and fighting, we've all gained experience. Without that, even charging into battle isn't enjoyable."

Lin Feng took the wine jug, tilted his head back, and took a swig. A spicy taste burned down his throat.

"Good wine."

He looked up at the bright moon in the sky and was filled with emotion.

"Enjoy life to the fullest when you're successful, for time is fleeting. My talents are surely meant to be put to use; though I spend all my wealth, it will return..."

"What a beautiful poem!"

Someone outside the dilapidated courtyard wall cheered loudly.

As the shouts rang out, two people entered through the courtyard gate.

The one in front is Sister Hu, and behind her is a young man dressed as a bodyguard, with a sheathed longsword at his waist. He has black hair, a fair complexion, and handsome features.

As soon as Sister Hu entered the room, she exclaimed, "Wow, it smells so good!"

The two went straight to the fire as soon as they entered, and Sister Hu nudged Ye Liangcai to the side.

"Move aside and make room for Young Master Pang."

Ye Liangcai chuckled as he shifted his position to the side.

"Sister Hu, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Will you ever get married if you keep this up?"

Sister Hu reached out and pinched Ye Liangcai's cheek.

"You're such a handsome young man, I'll reluctantly marry you, okay?"

Ye Liangcai pointed at Qiao Jushan.

"With your temperament, I guess only Lin Da can tame you. You should marry him."

Sister Hu glanced at Qiao Jushan and pretended to shudder.

"No, no, no, I'm afraid I can't handle it."

Lin Feng was amused by her. In this era, it was indeed rare to see a woman joking with a man like that.

That young master Pang casually slapped her across the back.

"Shut up, that's so vulgar."

Sister Hu quickly made a face and hid to the side.

Young Master Pang sat cross-legged on the ground, cupped his hands, and turned to greet the three of them.

"The three Lin brothers are very famous. I am Pang Xiu, and I pay my respects."

Lin Feng and the other two also bowed politely.
