Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 257 Do you have money?

Outsiders could only hear the clanging noises in the yard, but had no idea what was going on inside.

Armed soldiers stood around the yard, and no one dared to get close to take a look.

During this period, Liu Shuxue came twice, once with Fan Rou and once alone.

However, I didn’t see Lin Feng both times.

He was stopped outside the door by Xie Zhong.

After working for three days, Lin Feng asked someone to call Zhao Shuo and Lin Qiaomei over.

Looking at Lin Feng, who had rolled up his sleeves and was covered in dust, the two were stunned and speechless.

What is the boss going to do?

When Lin Feng saw them, he had nothing to say but just asked.

"Do either of you have any money on you?"

Zhao Shuo said doubtfully, "Brother, isn't all our money with Xie Zhong?"

"He has no money, what about you?"

They both shook their heads.

Who would carry silver when going out to fight? It's too cumbersome.

Zhao Shuo thought for a moment and asked, "Brother, how much silver do you have to pay?"

"It's a large quantity, probably around ten thousand taels at least."

"Brother, what do you want to buy?"

"Never mind, just ask if there's a place to get some silver."

Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up: "Shall I go to Su Yun to borrow some?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, sure, it would be best if you could lend me more."

"But brother, there must be a reason for borrowing so much money, right?"

Lin Feng pondered for a while.

"Just tell him that I want to redeem Liu Shuxue and Fan Rou."

The two of them suddenly widened their eyes and couldn't close their mouths for a long time.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Go quickly, don't waste time."

Zhao Shuo had no choice but to turn around and walk out of the house with full of doubts.

As soon as he came out of the posthouse gate, he met Liu Shuxue who was coming by carriage.

Zhao Shuo stared blankly at a very beautiful face that showed both joy and anger, looking at him from the window of the carriage.

"My Lord, where are you going?"

"Uh... go borrow some money."

"Hehehe...My Lord, you're such a jokester. You're still short of money."

Zhao Shuo pointed to the posthouse behind him.

"It's my eldest brother who needs money."

Liu Shuxue asked curiously, "Oh, what expensive things does Lord Lin want to buy?"

Zhao Shuo opened his mouth: "Uh... he wants to buy... you..."

"what?"

"You...don't ask too many questions."

"Tsk, who cares?"

Zhao Shuo waved at her, turned around and ran away.

Liu Shuxue got off the carriage and entered the gate of the inn. A little girl followed behind her, carrying a food box.

At the gate of the second courtyard, I met Cheng Liang and Wen Jian.

"Two generals, could you please pass on a message for me?"

Liu Shuxue looked so pitiful that the two men couldn't bear to refuse her.

Even though it has been rejected twice.

However, this time it was quite satisfying, which was unexpected for both of them.

Liu Shuxue visited Lin Feng three times and finally met him.

However, Lin Feng was still covered in dust, and even his hair was covered with a layer of fine powder.

"Sir, what's the matter with you?"

Lin Feng waved his hands tiredly.

"Miss Liu, you've arrived just in time. Could you lend me some money?"

Liu Shuxue was stunned. Zhao Shuo had just gone to borrow money from someone, and now he was borrowing money from her.

"How much does your lordship want to borrow?"

"The more the better. Borrow as much as you can. I'll definitely pay it back later, and I'll charge you the highest interest rate."

Liu Shuxue stretched out a snow-white finger.

"One thousand taels?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "Not enough."

"Um, sir, could you tell me what you want to buy?"

"Well...let's buy some wood, furs, jewelry, food, etc."

"Sir, are you going to do business?"

"Yeah, Lingdouzi is short of these things, and they can be sold for a good price."

"Okay, is five thousand taels enough?"

Lin Feng still shook his head.

"Ten thousand taels? I don't have any more."

"Okay, I'll write you an IOU."

Liu Shuxue quickly said, "Not only the IOU, but also the poem you promised Fanrou, how about including it as interest?"

Lin Feng scratched his head: "Oh, I'm busy, how can I have time to write that stuff."

Liu Shuxue shook her head firmly: "Without poetry, I won't lend you the money."

"You...see me like this, but I'm a poet?"

Lin Feng glared at her.

"I don't care. This is the artistic conception of a masterpiece being created by chance."

Liu Shuxue stared at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes, looking at him without giving in.

Lin Feng was helpless. He stared for a long time and finally nodded.

"Okay, okay, it's just a poem. It will be there soon."

Liu Shuxue then smiled and said, "Well, my Lord is well-versed in the classics, so he is certainly not bad."

Lin Feng pondered and thought in his mind.

In my previous life, I was busy practicing martial arts and never received proper education. I only recited some poems when I was a child.

However, most of them were returned to the teacher, and only a limited amount could be remembered.

Watching Liu Shuxue rest her chin on her palm and support her elbows on the table.

Two black and bright eyes followed Lin Feng.

Lin Feng walked around the room twice, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he recited a poem.

"The beacon fires illuminate the city, and I feel uneasy.

Ya Zhang bid farewell to Fengque, and the iron cavalry circled the border town.

The snow is dark withered and the flag is painted, and the wind is full of jumbled drums.

I would rather be a centurion than a scholar."

After reciting the poem, he looked at Liu Shuxue proudly.

Liu Shuxue didn't expect that he would have an inspiration so quickly, and immediately got up to find paper and pen.

Lin Feng smiled as he watched her take out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from under the food box, knowing that she came prepared.

"Sir, this is a homemade snack. Please enjoy it. Could you please recite the poem again?"

There was no other way. Seeing her serious and expectant look as she wrote, Lin Feng read it again.

Liu Shuxue finished recording, then stood up and looked carefully at the written poem.

Slowly pondering the artistic conception.

Lin Feng took the snacks from the lunch box and savored them slowly.

Liu Shuxue gradually immersed herself in the poetry, standing blankly in front of the table, motionless.

Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh.

The women of this era really don't pretend to love poetry.

Especially for these brothel prostitutes, when it comes to poetry and songs, it is worth a fortune to get a good piece of work.

The imperial court values ​​culture over military power, and as the saying goes, what the superiors like, the subordinates will like even more.

Just as the two of them were sitting quietly in the room, each thinking about their own things.

Zhao Shuo ran in.

"Brother, Su Yun won't lend me money."

"Hmm? He dares to offend your Lordship?"

"No, the excuse you gave is too bad. It's a cash cow, how could anyone be willing to sell it?"

Seeing Liu Shuxue present, Zhao Shuo spoke more cryptically.

Lin Feng thought about it and realized that it was right. He had forgotten that Xiehualou was opened by Su Yun.

"Is there any other way?"

"It's true that my eldest brother is gone."

Zhao Shuo shook his head helplessly.

Lin Feng was also frowning for a moment.

He has already asked someone to transport the materials over, and once the materials arrive, he will have to pay them.

Otherwise it would be considered as usurpation.

At this time, Liu Shuxue had already woken up from his poetry.

She clapped her hands and said, "Ha, this is really satisfying. I knew that the Lord is very talented and will not let me down."

Zhao Shuo looked at the table in confusion.

"This is..."

Liu Shuxue grabbed the paper, folded it in half, and stuffed it into the bottom of the lunch box.

Zhao Shuo shrugged his shoulders: "Tsk, who cares."

"Okay, sir, I'll go get the silver for you."

Lin Feng raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, the silver you have is not enough. You have to find a way to get more."

Liu Shuxue was very curious.

Of course, she was curious about everything about Lin Feng.

The more I get to know this person, the more mysterious and magical he seems to me.
