Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 221 I Can Let You Go Back

Lin Feng took two steps and felt that he had to make things clear.

He turned and looked at the siblings.

"Your father is an official appointed by the imperial court. You live in the capital city, clothed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, enjoying endless wealth and splendor since childhood. But you know that here, the Tartars are rampant, killing people everywhere, and most people struggle on the brink of death every day."

He pointed to the city wall in the distance.

"Here, tens of thousands of Tartars are attacking the castle. The situation is extremely critical. There are 20,000 people in the city. If the Tartars break through, all of them will be massacred."

"My soldiers defending the city numbered less than a thousand, but they risked their lives to drive the Tartars out of the city, repelling their attacks time and again."

"Just as the city gates were about to collapse, your father, Zhou Tongzhi, an official appointed by the imperial court, seized General Li, who was directing the battle, and continued to harass him. Relying on his position, he disregarded the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city."

Lin Feng was excited and spread out his hands.

"Under these circumstances, I don't think there's anything wrong with Li Donglai's actions. Ask anyone in the city, what's wrong with killing one person and saving the lives of everyone else?"

Lin Feng saw that the brother and sister looked dazed.

"That's all I have to say. You can go to the capital to plead your case, or you can file a complaint in Kyoto, or even bring it before the Emperor. I, Lin Feng, still have these words."

After that, he strode away.

Zhou Meng wanted to continue chasing, but he saw soldiers standing by the road, glaring at them.

There were also a few passers-by who pointed at them with a look of disdain.

Zhou Hui stood up, grabbed Zhou Meng's sleeve, and shook her head at him.

"Let's go to Kyoto and file a complaint. The Emperor will definitely give us an explanation."

"Sister, the emperor is far away and won't care about such a remote place."

"This world is so dark! How can ordinary people like us seek justice?"

Zhou Hui looked at the sky in despair.

Just when the brother and sister were in despair, a man walked by.

He wore a bamboo hat that covered his face and a gray robe.

He said softly, "Of course it will be useful if you go to Kyoto to file a complaint."

Zhou Hui and Zhou Meng were stunned and turned to look at the man.

"Excuse me, who is your Excellency?"

The man did not answer, but took out a badge from his body and handed it to Zhou Meng.

"Remember, go to Kyoto to find Concubine Du and file a complaint with the Emperor."

Zhou Hui's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt hope and goals in her heart.

The brother and sister knelt on the ground again and said, "Thank you for your help, please leave your names. We are brother and sister..."

Before they could finish their words, they realized that the man had disappeared.

Lin Feng brought his men to the construction site outside the city. Looking at the busy laborers, he felt a little better.

The huge project gradually revealed its outline.

Li Xiong's strict supervision must have made the civilians dare not slack off.

After walking around the construction site for a while, Li Xiong rushed over after hearing the news.

"Boss, are you satisfied?"

"Well, not bad. Keep up the hard work. When the project takes shape, I'll give you a credit."

"Hehe, as long as the boss is satisfied, it doesn't matter what the credit is."

"Okay, you have a high emotional intelligence."

"No, sir, I just want a bronze badge. Is that okay with you?"

"I was praising you just now, but you showed your true colors right away."

Li Xiong said aggrievedly: "Boss, I am considered a veteran among those who follow you. They are all Bronze Level 1, but I have nothing. Otherwise, you can let me lead the troops. I am the logistics manager, but I have no merit at all."

Lin Feng thought about it and it was true. In terms of time, Li Xiong was the first one to follow him.

Logistical matters are complicated and difficult to manage, making it even more difficult to achieve remarkable results.

Nodding: "No problem, I'll talk to Bai Jing when I get back and I'll give you a bronze badge right away."

"Okay, I know the boss loves me."

It’s no wonder that Li Xiong coveted the medal, because that thing really works.

As long as you have a medal, it can be linked to military salary and your rank will be immediately raised.

Especially when worn on the chest, it will make the soldiers and civilians look at it with admiration.

The medal was equivalent to the title system at that time.

Once you are promoted, it will last a lifetime.

Moreover, the medal is equal to the title, and if done well, it can be inherited.

Who wouldn’t be jealous?

Lin Feng turned a corner and wanted to go and take a look at his steel furnace.

At this moment, a soldier came running over to report.

"Report, General, there are three hundred border troops outside the city, led by Captain Cui."

Lin Feng was very surprised. Why did Cui Ying come again?

Could it be that the border troops have run out of food again?

"Just let them in."

The soldier saluted, turned around and ran away quickly.

Lin Feng also followed and walked towards the city gate.

Cui Ying led a team of three hundred cavalrymen and rumbled into the castle.

In a blink of an eye, I saw Lin Feng on the side of the road.

He jumped off the horse and walked a few steps to Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, I'm here again."

"Why, no food?"

"No, I heard you defeated a ten thousand strong Tartar army, so I came to see you and learn from you."

"Why didn't you come to help when the Tartar army was here?"

Cui Ying smiled embarrassedly.

"The general didn't give any orders."

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "As if you listen to the general very much."

Cui Ying grabbed Lin Feng's sleeve and dragged him aside.

He put his head close to Lin Feng's ear.

"Hey, Lin Feng, I heard you captured a silver-armored Tartar. Is that true?"

Lin Feng's heart moved. This news spread very fast.

"Well, we did capture a Tartar, but I don't know if it was Silver Armor."

"Then when you caught him, he didn't have silver armor on him?"

"Yes, he's a plainclothes Tartar, probably a spy."

"Can I see it?"

"Of course, but..."

"Hmm? What are the conditions?"

"You have to tell me, who told you that?"

Cui Ying thought for a moment and said, "I found out because I overheard Dad talking to General Song Yi."

"Song Yi?"

Speaking of Song Yi, Lin Feng suddenly thought of Song Qi, who was still imprisoned in prison.

Could these elite Tartar cavalrymen be related to Song Yi?

"Okay, you guys stay here and rest first. I'll make arrangements so you can meet the Tartar."

"It's settled. I'll go to the inn first."

Cui Ying led the team to the inn in the castle.

She doesn't need anyone to lead the way, she is already very familiar with the place.

Lin Feng felt a little uneasy. He had captured a silver-armored Tartar, so why did all the gods come?

"Let's go and take a look inside the prison."

Lin Feng brought his men to the big prison in the castle.

Nalan was imprisoned in the innermost part of the prison, a cage specially used to hold serious criminals.

Heavy shackles fastened her firmly to a thick cylinder buried deep in the ground in the corner of the cage.

In just a few days, Nalan looked haggard and thin.

The two deep blue eyes were lifeless and dull.

Lin Feng asked someone to open the cage door, walked to Nalan and squatted down.

Nalan glanced at him and closed his eyes again.

"I want to know, what is your purpose in attacking Qingshui this time?"

Nalan didn't move.

"Aren't you afraid of these torture instruments?"

Still no movement.

"If you explain clearly, I can let you go back."

This time, Nalan finally opened his eyes, looked at Lin Feng, and closed them again.

Lin Feng discovered that there was a glimmer of light in her eyes, but it was only for a moment.
