Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 108: Those Who Met You Will Not Live Long

Lin Feng said calmly, "Lord Mu asked me to ask General Zheng how much these grains would be sold for?"

"What are you talking about? Who wants to sell food and grass? It's incomprehensible."

"The Tartars offer a lot of money, so naturally we have to sell it."

"Come here, capture this spy for me."

Zheng Xianshen shouted angrily.

Trading with the Tartars and selling military rations is a serious crime, so no one dared to talk about it in public.

There must be something wrong with the kid in front of me.

The guards behind Zheng Xianshen immediately drew out their swords and were about to step forward to arrest the man.

Unexpectedly, I heard a creaking sound all around.

They were all soldiers, and the sound of bows and arrows being drawn was very familiar to them.

Everyone quickly turned their heads to look to both sides.

At some point, more than ten steps on both sides of the corridor were filled with soldiers.

Dozens of fully drawn bows and arrows were pointed at several people.

At such a distance, facing so many arrows, no one dared to move rashly.

Lin Feng took two steps back, put some distance between himself and the other party, and then raised his right hand.

Zheng Xianshen hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute, wait a minute. What's your name, brother? The food and fodder are easy to discuss, and the price isn't a big deal either. Let's just talk it over. We're all family, there's no need to be so rude."

Lin Feng chuckled and swung his right hand.

The bowstring sounded, and countless arrows rained down on the people in the corridor.

There was no way to dodge, and more than a dozen people were shot like hedgehogs.

Zheng Xianshen roared wildly, rushed forward, and reached out to grab Lin Feng.

He knew that no arrows would be shot at him from Lin Feng's place, so as long as he caught this person, he might be able to escape.

However, he had no idea that Lin Feng was more powerful than bows and arrows. If he had known earlier, he would have let the feather arrows shoot him a few times.

When he was in mid-air, Lin Feng kicked him in the stomach.

Zheng Xianshen roared again and flew backwards.

After a tumble, he bumped into the guard who was lying on the ground like a hedgehog.

Zheng Xianshen wanted to get up, but his stomach hurt so badly that he felt nauseous and vomited violently as soon as he bent over.

Soldiers from both sides rushed up, pressed Zheng Xianshen to the ground, brought up the wooden yoke and locked it around his neck.

There were two people who were not shot to death, a centurion and a guard, who were also chained.

Zheng Xianshen recovered his strength and was forced to kneel on the ground, struggling.

"Boy, were you sent by the general?"

He thought his act of reselling military rations had been exposed.

Lin Feng nodded in agreement and said, "Of course it was General Cui's order. Do you think you can still survive?"

"Hehehe...you're still a little naive, kid. Who told you to do this?"

"Great General."

"Bah! I'm not easy to fool. Let me go quickly, or you won't survive."

"You're trying to scare me, but you don't even consider the situation."

Zheng Xianshen was still struggling.

"Boy, how about we talk in detail?"

What he meant was that there were too many people here and many things were difficult to talk about.

Lin Feng also realized that the matter was not that simple, and it was not simply reselling military rations for personal gain.

He waved his hand and said, "Take him to the interrogation office, and the others will handle the scene."

The interrogation room was a dark room filled with torture instruments, many of which were placed on the floor.

As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a bloody smell, and some of the torture instruments were stained with blood.

In such a situation, the criminal would be scared to death just by looking at it, without having to do anything.

Zheng Xianshen wore a heavy wooden yoke around his neck. He sat on the wet ground and glared at Lin Feng angrily.

The only people in the room were Lin Feng, who was sitting on a wooden bench, and Bai Jing, who was standing beside him.

"Okay, tell me what you have to say, and I'll see if I can save you from death."

"Do you dare to tell me your name?"

"Lin Feng, from the Bingzi Camp."

Zheng Xianshen's pupils shrank. He knew this name.

He blinked his eyes, knowing that this matter was in trouble.

This Lin Feng is not easy to deal with. He has a tense relationship with the main camp and hardly pays attention to the orders of the main camp.

Thinking about it for a while.

"Lin Feng, as long as you let me go, you can walk around freely in the border army camp."

"Haha, do you dare to walk sideways in the border army camp?"

"I don't dare, but you dare. As long as you expose this matter, you can get the official position you want and the money you want. Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe you. Look at yourself. You are just a general, yet you dare to say something that even a general wouldn't say easily."

Zheng Xianshen was helpless and couldn't speak out his thoughts.

They can only paint a rosy picture for people and dare not reveal any real facts.

Seeing that he looked constipated, Lin Feng knew that the matter was serious.

"Forget it. If you find it difficult to explain, I will just put you in death row and treat you as treason. Don't implicate others."

As he spoke, Lin Feng stood up and prepared to go out.

"Wait, wait, Lin Feng, I can only tell you this."

"There has to be a witness, right?"

Zheng Xianshen shook his head: "Don't witness anything. Anyone who witnesses won't live long."

"Is it that serious?"

"It's worse than this!"

Lin Feng thought about it and nodded to Bai Jing.

Bai Jing turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"Go ahead."

"You know, this matter involves a lot of things. How can I, a single general, dare to do such a big thing?"

Lin Feng nodded silently.

"The T-shaped battalion is responsible for collecting food and fodder. There are three such battalions. Our immediate superior is the captain, General Feng."

Seeing that Lin Feng remained calm, Zheng Xianshen had no choice but to continue.

"General Feng, even as a captain of a thousand men, wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Above him are the General of the Central Army, the General of the Cavalry, and above that the General of the Guard..."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "According to what you said, are there any good people in the entire border army?"

"There are tens of thousands of border troops, and these are just officers who can control some resources."

"Oh my god, is there anything higher up? Don't tell me, even General Cui is in cahoots with the Tartars."

Zheng Xianshen lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"I can't say anything more about what's going on. I believe you can see the horror of this matter from here."

Lin Feng was also confused.

This is like the sky is falling.

How did this group of border troops from Dazong become like this?

No wonder they stayed in the camp all day long. The Tartars did not attack the camp, but just plundered everywhere without any worries.

Have they already colluded with each other internally and externally, or is it a tacit understanding between them?

Lin Feng scratched his head, feeling that this was going to be difficult.

This small general in front of me is just the tip of the iceberg. If I execute him according to his crime.

It was a huge touch.

He didn't want to ask any more questions. There were many things that were better left unseen.

"Come here, take him to death row and try him later."

Two burly soldiers came in immediately and dragged Zheng Xianshen out.

Zheng Xianshen didn't say anything either. He knew that Lin Feng needed time to think and make a choice.

Putting aside other things, Lin Feng’s first consideration was how to recruit the troops outside the city.

Although these soldiers followed Zheng Xianshen to resell military rations, they would not get a penny; they were just following orders.

There is a high possibility that military pay will be withheld or that they will not receive any pay at all.

Therefore, Lin Feng judged that it would not be difficult to recruit them.

He asked someone to hold Zheng Xianshen's badge and transfer a team of 100 people from outside the city. After entering the city, he took control of several armored soldiers.

The other soldiers had their weapons taken away and were driven to a house.

Then do the same with the other team.

Although the incorporation process was smooth and simple.

However, Lin Feng knew that the number of newly recruited soldiers was too large compared to his existing troops, and there would be many hidden dangers.

We must find ways to solve these problems as soon as possible.

There was another big problem. The border troops had lost a Bingzi Battalion and forty carts of military rations for no reason.

Such a major event cannot be ignored.

Lin Feng frowned and thought hard.

It feels good at the moment, but the aftereffects are a headache.
