Chapter 582 This guy is not simple
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Liang and Ye Liangcai took a step forward and stood in front of Lin Feng's desk.
The two men grasped the hilts of the knives at the same time and stared at Xu Jin.
The four guards standing at the door raised their crossbows almost at the same time and aimed them at Xu Jin.
Pei Qiyin just looked at Xu Jin coldly, standing very steadily.
Lin Feng still had a smile on his face. He leaned back and stretched his waist.
"I'm just asking for advice. Seeing how you look, can you answer for the princess?"
Xu Jin glanced at Cheng Liang and Ye Liangcai with disdain.
"How can you be qualified to ask for advice in front of the princess? Consider your status. I am doing this for your own good."
Lin Feng rested his elbows on the desk, stroking his chin. The stubble he had just shaved off felt a bit prickly.
"One hundred and fifty thousand imperial guards fought the rebels for a long time, being pushed step by step into Kyoto. The four gates were sealed, and countless civilians in the city starved to death. I just won a victory, and you're already pointing fingers. Pat yourselves, what were you doing before?"
"How dare you! Who are you calling me Laozi? Do you know that this is a crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Xu Jin shouted angrily.
Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, do you believe that I can give you to King Fu in exchange for a few taels of silver?"
"You... dare."
Xu Jin gritted his teeth.
Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively: "Han Su, you go and tell them whether I dare or not."
When Han Su heard Lin Feng's words, his whole body shuddered.
The two people in front of him are both popular figures who have a say in front of the emperor.
But when it comes to life and death, Lin Feng is naturally more powerful.
"Hey, hey, how did it become like this? General, please bear with me. Our eldest princess has been in the palace for a long time and has never seen such a scene. Captain Xu, the imperial guard, has been by the emperor's side for a long time and doesn't know the cruelty of the battlefield. Hehehe, please bear with me."
As he spoke, he tugged at Xu Jin's sleeve.
"We are all thinking about the emperor. Don't upset your own people, okay, Captain Xu?"
Xu Jin knew that this situation was not favorable to him, but he couldn't bear to lose face and had to endure it.
Hearing Han Su's words, he took the opportunity to back off and took two steps back.
"Humph, if it weren't for the emperor, I would have taken your life."
Although he retreated, he still said that he didn't want to lose this battle.
Cheng Liang kept looking back at Lin Feng, wanting to rush up and chop him down.
But he didn't hear any movement from Lin Feng for a long time. He knew that he couldn't act on his own, so he had to hold his anger in his heart.
Of course, Lin Feng wanted to give the order to drag this arrogant guy out and bury him.
This thought went around in my mind, but I suppressed it.
It is not advisable to do too much at the moment. I don’t quite understand the situation in the imperial city.
Just from the behavior of this captain of the guards and the eldest princess, one can tell what kind of people are around Emperor Zhao Zhen.
Lin Feng sighed.
"Well, all right, go back and stay put, don't interfere with my military operations, and maybe you can return to Kyoto safely."
He has tried hard to suppress his temper.
Princess Zhao Yi was not stupid. When she heard Xu Jin shouting like that, Lin Feng didn't show any fear at all.
They knew that this person didn't take them seriously at all.
There is no point in saying more. When facing someone who is not afraid of imperial power, the most important thing is to save your life.
This is a battlefield. If they find any excuse, their three hundred guards will not be enough to fill the enemy's teeth.
"Okay, let me see how you defeat the rebels. Let's go."
Zhao Yi stood up, turned around and left.
Several people hurriedly followed Zhao Yi out of the county government office gate.
Xu Jin is not a fool, he knows very well what he is doing.
He has been in the palace for many years and has been serving the emperor. I dare not say that his ability to read people's expressions is the best, but it is definitely much better than that of ordinary people.
Xu Jin just wanted to provoke Lin Feng. He wanted to see how the people around Lin Feng would react.
He also had the mission of Concubine Du on his shoulders.
If I get the chance, I won't care about your life or death.
Then I can travel around the world with my beauty. Why should I care about other people's life and death?
However, he found that the people around Lin Feng all had determined expressions.
When he heard that he was threatening Lin Feng, there was no fluctuation in his eyes, only anger.
It is clear that these people only have Lin Feng in their hearts, and there is no place for the emperor at all.
I had to give up the idea of taking action for the time being and take it slow.
Only after seeing Princess Zhao Yi and her men leave the county government office did Cheng Liang and Ye Liang retreat to a corner.
Pei Qiyin stepped forward to pour tea for Lin Feng.
"General, this chief of the imperial guards is no ordinary person."
Lin Feng nodded slightly without saying anything.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.
"Let's do the big things first. These scoundrels are nothing but scum in front of my army."
The specific action plan has been sent back by express mail. If the weather conditions do not change, it will be carried out as planned.
This is also because hot air balloons have very high requirements for the environment and have to depend on the weather.
Lin Feng ran to the observation tower in the county town again and carefully felt the changes in the air.
Hu Jincai had already found Zhu Jie and asked the technical soldiers of the engineering battalion to convert a catapult into a tall small stage.
He will dance for the Black Scarf Army on this stage at midnight.
Time passed by little by little, and there was no obvious change in the weather.
Lin Feng and others did not eat dinner at night and stayed on the observation tower to observe.
It was almost midnight when he waved his hand.
"Okay, let's get started."
The order was quickly conveyed to the camp.
A chariot pulling a tall catapult drove out from the open camp gate.
The five hundred accompanying cavalrymen gathered around the chariot, and their horses took small steps and moved forward slowly.
Tonight the crescent moon is half covered by dark clouds, and the earth is pitch black.
A group of horsemen stopped less than two miles away from the Black Turban Army camp and stayed there quietly.
There was no sound around except the occasional snorting of war horses.
When they were more than five miles away from the Black Scarf Army camp, the Black Scarf Army's secret sentries had already discovered something unusual.
After confirmation, the news was quickly passed to the camp.
Qiu Jie was awakened by the messenger, and after hearing the news, he immediately lost all sleepiness.
He had long heard of the power of the Zhenxi Army's night attacks, and immediately ordered the troops to assemble and stand by.
The soldier on duty in front of the camp immediately stepped forward with his bow, stood on the partition of the camp fence, and listened vigilantly to the movements in the wild.
The entire camp suddenly became tense, and countless soldiers rushed out of the tents, each looking for their own equipment.
Hu Jincai was sitting cross-legged on the small stage on top of the catapult, and he could already hear the noise in the Black Turban Army camp.
He looked at the military camp not far away with a guilty conscience.
Under the illumination of countless torches, figures were running around and various teams were rapidly gathering.
At this distance, the arrows couldn't hit me, so I was afraid that the Black Scarf Army would go crazy and come out of the camp to fight.
That would ruin the plans that had been made.
However, he had already discussed this matter with Lin Feng and felt that the Black Scarf Army would most likely not dare to leave the camp and fight at night.
Even in the daytime, the Black Scarf Army, having suffered a loss once, would not easily leave the camp.
