Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 368: A Fait Affaire

Bai Jing was angry and said, "Could it be that after my brother leaves, Zhenxi will still rebel?"

Don't stroke your beard and smile, don't refute.

Obviously, what he meant was that once Lin Feng left Zhenxi, this place would not be stable.

Lin Feng had already stood up and bowed in thanks, "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your words that woke me up from my dream."

Mo Yong quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "No, no, I'll take my leave."

After seeing Mo Yong off, Lin Feng sat back in his chair and pondered alone.

After Bai Jing sent Mo Yong to the door, she turned around and went back into the house.

"Brother, what exactly does Mr. Mo mean?"

Lin Feng glanced at her and said, "Old Mo's meaning is very clear. He wants me to leave the Tartars at the border so that he can find an excuse not to go to the court to quell the rebellion and focus on stabilizing Zhenxi first."

"Oh..."

Bai Jing finally figured it out.

Zhenxi is Lin Feng's base. If the foundation is unstable and he rashly advances into the interior, there will be unrest in the rear.

By then, if the Jingnan Campaign failed, Lin Feng would be homeless.

If there were still Tatars on the Dazong border, Lin Feng could use the excuse of defending the border instead of rushing to march his troops south.

"Alas, the old ones are still the wisest. He is worthy of the title of military advisor."

Lin Feng also nodded in agreement. Although he had thought of this, he did not see it as clearly as Mo Yong.

The Tartars were indeed frightened by my defeat. As long as I stay in Zhenxi for one day, they probably won't dare to show up again.

I can concentrate on economic development, continue to strengthen the army, and consolidate Zhenxi.

A bilateral trade agreement has just been signed with Western Xia.

It is time to bring the water of Hongqing Lake in the territory of Western Xia into Zhenxi.

This is a huge project and requires a huge investment of manpower, money and materials.

However, once completed, it will benefit the town for hundreds of years or even longer.

It is a people-oriented project that benefits the present and future generations.

Regardless of his leg injury, Lin Feng brought his guard team, led by Cheng Liang, and headed straight for Hongqing Lake in the border of Western Xia.

He had to conduct an on-site survey before he could draw up a blueprint for diverting water into the west of the town.

After observing the battle of the Qingshui Army, Zhang Enyi led the Western Xia Yinzhou delegation to return home.

The Yinzhou merchants he led had already completed transactions with local merchants on the goods they had brought.

There were more than a dozen full carriages and hundreds of guards.

With the farewell of Wen Cheng and others, he set out from the gate of Lingdouzi Castle.

Both sides were very happy, and the delegation walked along the wide and smooth official road.

Zhang Enyi was very proud and satisfied, as the mission was successfully completed.

What he didn't know was his guard captain Ning Zhen and his two subordinates, the brothers Zhang Long and Zhang Hu.

The three of them were very depressed.

Because, in the returning team, there was no sign of Li Xinyan, Miss Li.

As Deputy Commander Zhang's personal bodyguards, the three of them cannot afford to be negligent in the slightest.

No one dared to leave Zhang Enyi too far.

Because when the delegation arrived at the castle street, not only Qingshui officials, but also Qingshui merchants and many people came to see them off.

The safety of mission officials cannot be ignored.

Only after they left the chaotic crowd of farewells did they have time to look for Li Xinyan.

Unexpectedly, after riding his horse and patrolling the guard team twice, he still couldn't find Li Xinyan.

Zhang Long and Zhang Hu were still not giving up and used the excuse of checking the safety of the carriage.

The two men came to the team of carriages and carefully checked each carriage one by one, even the carriages carrying merchants were not spared.

The merchants did have their female relatives accompanying them in their carriages.

The two men also forced their way into the carriage due to safety concerns.

The women were frightened and screamed, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the merchants.

In the end, they checked the entire delegation twice from beginning to end, but found nothing.

Return to the escort.

Zhang Long, Zhang Hu and team leader Ning Zhen looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

How to do?

If you want to go back now, you must undoubtedly get the consent of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief.

But they had no reason to return to Lingdouzi Castle alone.

As the team got farther and farther away from the castle, the three of them were in tears.

This disaster is a big one.

At this time, Miss Li Xinyan had gone through several days of intense ideological struggle.

Finally decided to take a big risk and stay.

One reason is that she was attracted by Lin Feng's poems and heroic deeds, which gave rise to all kinds of beautiful fantasies.

He only wanted to come to Qingshui to see Lin Feng once, and that would fulfill his wish.

But since meeting Lin Feng that night, everything she had thought about had come true. He was exactly the ideal husband she had been thinking about day and night.

She was afraid that the night would be long and she would have more troubles. Her home was too far away from Lin Feng. Once she returned home this time, she didn't know when she would see Lin Feng again.

What if Lin Feng gets married after a long time?

She is the daughter of a state commander-in-chief and a genuine member of the Western Xia royal family.

I can't marry Lin Feng as a concubine.

Even if she was willing to be someone's concubine, her father would still find a way to kill her.

So, it’s better to stay and find a way to make the matter a done deal.

By then, even if Dad is unhappy, it will be too late.

In order to get close to Lin Feng, Li Xinyan also did a lot of work.

During the days she stayed in Lingdouzi Castle, she inquired about the situation of the Qingshui Army.

I know that the beautiful woman next to Lin Feng is the steward of the castle, named Bai Jing.

Lin Feng also has a female general under his command, named Lin Qiaomei, who is the leader of the long-range attack battalion.

Lin Qiaomei has many female generals and guards under her command.

However, the castle steward, Lord Bai Jing, was surrounded by only male guards, not a single female guard.

This is a good opportunity.

With his riding, archery and eighteen martial arts skills, he could barely get by.

Because her father had seen her like it since she was a child, he had hired several experts to be her teachers.

Therefore, Li Xinyan's civil and military skills are incomparable to ordinary people.

If he could use his martial arts to find a way to become the steward's bodyguard, then he would be not far from Lin Feng.

She herself knew that if she rashly went to his house, Lin Feng would send her back to Yinzhou with just one word.

But he officially joined the Qingshui Army and became the general's guard, so he always had an excuse.

When Li Xinyan followed the delegation to the city gate, she took advantage of the crowd and tied her armor to the horse's back, turned a corner and slipped away.

No one noticed a guard leaving, and she easily separated from her team.

After turning a few small alleys, I arrived at the temporary residence that I had secretly rented a long time ago.

This small house is located in a large house, with an independent courtyard gate in a small alley.

The owner has a small family and the small house is not occupied for the time being. It is located in the corner of the castle and few people are interested in it.

The small house had been vacant for a long time and was covered with dust.

Li Xinyan was too lazy to clean.

He went into the house and changed into an ordinary commoner's short brown robe with many patches on it.

Her hair was messy and hastily tied back, and her porcelain doll-like face was covered with a little dust.

She was transformed gorgeously into a poor little woman who ended up in the castle.

There is a place in the castle specifically for accommodating homeless people and for recruiting soldiers.

Besides, Li Xinyan still had some silver on her, so she was not afraid of going hungry.

After finishing everything, Li Xinyan followed the landlord to the castle recruitment office.

She also made up her own identity, saying that her family lived in Weiyuan County, west of the town, and her parents were killed by the Tartars, leaving her alone.

The landlord had accepted her money and pretended to be a distant relative to act as her guarantor.

If you remove the middle character of her name, it becomes Li Yan, who is seventeen years old this year.
