Chapter 1118 No Food
Chapter 1118 No Food
Miao Changfeng's 600-man guard consisted of one captain, two deputy captains, and six centurions, who were officially part of the military.
Those at the rank of Jia Zheng and below can only be considered grassroots cadres, but they are the backbone who take the lead and charge ahead.
Like the Zhenxi Army, the position of Jia Zheng was a very important one. He had to resolutely carry out the orders of his superiors, have the ability to command thirty men, organize his soldiers well, charge ahead, and fight to the death.
Chen Dongping was naturally saddened by the loss of a key officer. The investigation is still ongoing, and once it is confirmed that Mu Chuan was responsible, he will not let him off easily.
The three guard captains all lived in single rooms, and their meals were delivered to their quarters by someone carrying their lunchboxes, so their food was much better than that of the others.
After Lin Feng became the deputy captain of the guard team, he was also assigned two soldiers as his attendants to take care of his daily life and run errands.
Because the other two captains each commanded three hundred men, while Lin Feng only had two followers.
Therefore, while other team leaders traveled with large entourages, Lin Feng was always alone.
Lin Feng, however, didn't take it seriously at all.
However, the two attendants felt uncomfortable and were often discriminated against and ridiculed by the other team members when they had nothing to do.
Lin Feng returned to his residence. One of his two attendants stood outside the door, ready to obey orders at any time, while the other went to the kitchen to urge the preparation of the meal.
Because of the Prime Minister's summons, it was already past lunchtime.
Lin Feng and his two attendants were starving and longingly awaited the food.
Unfortunately, after a while, the attendant who went to the kitchen to urge the food to come back returned empty-handed, looking dejected.
The attendant standing at the door stared in astonishment at his hands.
"What's wrong? Where's the food?"
"It's past mealtime, there's nothing left to eat?"
The attendant helplessly spread his hands.
"Nothing left? Then we can skip this meal, okay?"
"if not?"
"It doesn't matter if we don't have food, but what about the deputy captain?"
The attendant deliberately spoke loudly so that Lin Feng inside the room could hear him.
"There's only an old lady tending the fire left in the kitchen, what can I do?"
"According to the usual practice, even when we are out on a mission and it's past mealtime, we are supposed to be given something to eat. How could you be so irresponsible as the deputy captain who is hungry?"
"Are you blaming me? There's nothing in the kitchen except firewood. Who am I supposed to turn to?"
"Just ask whoever is in charge of the meals."
"I'm just a common soldier, they won't even see me, and even if they go looking for me, it's useless."
The two of them kept talking, preventing Lin Feng from having any peace and quiet.
Although it's a small matter, if things continue like this, how can Lin Feng continue to stay in the guard team? He'll be squeezed out of the guard team before even reaching the capital.
I need to find a way to establish my authority, but not too obviously.
Lin Feng thought it best to use the deputy captain Chen Dongping as a target.
I must rampage through the entire guard team, making sure no one dares to underestimate me, only then can I obtain a peaceful and prosperous life.
He sighed, got up and left the room, waving to his two attendants.
"Come on, let's go find something to eat."
The two attendants' eyes lit up; this was exactly the effect they wanted.
Lin Feng led the two towards the side courtyard, which was the Prime Minister's logistics headquarters.
In addition to the 600-strong guard team, there are nearly a thousand logistics personnel responsible for various tedious tasks.
As the prime minister of a country, if he doesn't have two or three thousand people accompanying him on a trip, Miao Changfeng himself will feel he has lost face.
Lin Feng didn't recognize the person in charge of logistics and meals, but the two attendants knew him very well. They led him forward until they arrived at the gate of a mansion.
Two men stood in front of the door, leaning against the wall, looking utterly bored.
They saw Lin Feng and the others approaching, but they didn't move and ignored them.
"Sir, this is Manager Hu's residence."
One of his attendants explained to Lin Feng.
Another follower shouted at the two men.
"My family member is here with some questions. Is Manager Hu in?"
The two men glanced at Lin Feng, then ignored them and waved at the air.
"My family is taking a nap, please don't disturb them."
Lin Feng's two attendants immediately frowned and were about to step forward to argue.
Lin Feng had already stepped into the courtyard gate.
Upon seeing this, the two gatekeepers immediately leaned forward, trying to push Lin Feng out.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng had already swung his knife forward, and with a series of cracking sounds, the two men were struck on the left and right cheeks almost simultaneously, then tumbled away.
Lin Feng didn't even glance at him before striding into the courtyard.
The two attendants stared at the two unconscious men, then looked at each other, and then, with a sense of excitement, quickly followed Lin Feng into the courtyard.
Facing you are two red lacquered and carved doors, which show the homeowner's taste and class.
As Lin Feng arrived at the door, a servant quickly stepped in front of him and reached out to knock, but Lin Feng had already placed one foot on the door.
With a cracking sound of wood breaking, the two carved wooden doors detached from their hinges and flew into the house.
Another loud crash followed, something was smashed, causing screams from inside the house.
A plump, white man with hair on his chest was reclining on a deck chair, with maids massaging his arms and legs on either side.
Just as he was staring wide-eyed at the shattered door, at a loss for what to do, a gleaming steel knife was already pressed against the fat man's chest.
Lin Feng placed one foot on the fat man's round belly, and bright red blood beads trickled down the white skin from the sharp tip of the steel knife.
The chubby man was even more terrified, opening his mouth but unable to speak.
The two attendants were completely blank-minded, staring at Lin Feng's arrogant posture, vaguely sensing that something bad was about to happen.
"Manager Hu, this is Mu Chuan, the deputy captain of the Prime Minister's Guard. I didn't eat lunch. It's not that I didn't want to eat, it's that there was nothing to eat. Can you explain why I didn't have lunch?"
The chubby man finally came to his senses and grimaced as he looked at the steel knife on his body.
"Vice Captain Mu, are you here to beg for... food?"
In his mind, Lin Feng's actions were not just about begging for food, but rather murder and robbery.
Lin Feng's two followers had also figured it out. Since they were all in the same boat as Deputy Captain Mu, and no one could escape if something happened, they might as well join in the commotion.
"Hey Hu, stop playing dumb and tell me, where's our lunch?"
The chubby man gave a wry smile: "Lunch has been prepared, everyone who was supposed to eat has eaten, and the leftovers have been saved. How could there be no food for the vice-captain? There must be some misunderstanding. Please allow me to inquire about it."
This chubby guy was a worldly-wise fellow; after his initial panic, he quickly calmed down.
After his explanation, Lin Feng was left speechless, so he could only raise his knife and take a step back.
"Hurry up and send someone to ask, lest I get impatient and stab him..."
Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, the chubby man covered the wound on his shoulder, struggled to his feet, and shouted loudly.
"Chu San, Chu San, where the hell did you run off to?"
Someone outside shouted in response and ran in.
"Sir, I'm here."
"Why wasn't Vice Captain Mu's lunch included in the meal you prepared?"
