Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 622: Go hungry for two meals first

Bai Yuexi smiled bitterly and pointed at her ankle.

Hong Xiao flashed over, lifted her dress, and suddenly discovered that there was a thin iron chain locked around Bai Yuexi's ankle.

She reached out and grasped both ends of the iron chain, exerting force with her hands.

After a while, the chain did not break as usual and remained intact.

Hong Xiao looked at the chain in surprise. It was flashing with a faint blue luster and was obviously not an ordinary iron chain.

There was no other way, so she followed the chain forward and saw that the other end of the chain was locked on an iron pillar on the wall, with both ends of the iron pillar embedded between the ground and the wall.

Hongxiao tried to pull the iron pillar and found that it was movable. She was overjoyed.

With a little luck, he gently pulled the iron pillar up from the ground.

The other end also broke through the wall, but only made a few slight noises.

Bai Yuexi watched Hong Xiao busying around with admiration on her face, knowing that nothing could stump Hong Xiao when it came to these underworld tasks.

The two smiled at each other and were about to stand up.

Suddenly, there was a loud banging noise near the windows and doors.

Bai Yuexi widened her eyes and looked at the unusual movement outside the window.

Hong Xiao didn't even think about it, she knew that she had triggered the mechanism, and her body immediately flew up and rushed towards the window from which she came.

She was as fast as lightning, but unfortunately, there was a steel bar on the window. Although she was not falling fast, she fell too early.

Just as she pulled out the iron pillar, the steel grille hanging above the window slid down silently.

It only made a noise when it touched the bottom.

Hong Xiao's body hit the steel fence and was bounced back.

She was unwilling to give up, so she jumped to the window, grabbed the steel bars with her hands and shook them hard.

However, although the steel fence was shaking, it was firmly blocking the window and could not move at all.

This is the steel fence designed specifically for her by the craftsmen of the Zhenxi Army's Engineering Battalion. It cannot be shaken easily.

The steel rod was as thick as a child's arm. Even if Qiao Jushan came over, it would be difficult for him to bend it in a short time.

When Hong Xiao's body was bounced back, she realized that she had fallen into someone's trap and it was futile to struggle.

She sighed: "Alas, my lady, we don't need to calculate the grudges anymore, we have all been calculated."

Bai Yuexi sighed in her heart, knowing that she had been tricked by Lin Feng again.

Although I was filled with hatred, I could do nothing about it.

The two of them were speechless.

Hong Xiao sat down silently on a stool, brushed off the dust on her body, and then tidied up the loose hair on her forehead.

At this time, a person stood in front of the window.

Through the steel fence, he quietly observed the situation in the house.

After receiving the report, Lin Feng went to the window of the house and looked at Hong Xiao sitting on the stool through the steel bars.

This woman looked very ordinary, the kind that would be so crowded in a crowd that it would be impossible to discern any features.

But even such an ordinary woman has a speed of movement that few in this world can match.

Hong Xiao suddenly looked up and looked at Lin Feng outside the window.

How come this young man with such a warm face can calculate everything so accurately?

Even the White Snake behind him was caught in his trap and had no power to resist.

If we say that White Snake's intelligence is close to that of a demon, then Lin Feng's intelligence has surpassed that of a demon.

The two men stared at each other silently across the steel bars, neither of them speaking.

After confirming that the other person was Hong Xiao, Lin Feng felt relieved and turned away from the window.

"Keep a close eye on them. Let's just skip a couple of meals for now."

Pei Qiyin was puzzled: "General, why are you starving them?"

"They are all just too full to eat, so they set up the Black Scarf Society. They want to make the people prosperous and healthy, but instead they resort to assassination. Hunger will make them understand how painful it is for the people to have nothing to eat."

Lin Feng talked as he walked and quickly returned to the lobby of the government office.

Zhao Shuo had already arranged everything and followed him into the lobby.

"Brother, it's arranged. Are we still waiting to see them repent?"

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Do I have so much free time? I have already wasted several days trying to catch her. We have to hurry up and leave."

"Notify everyone to set off for Beijing early tomorrow morning."

Zhao Shuo straightened up and said, "Yes, big brother is wise."

Pei Qiyin asked worriedly, "General, we can't just let them starve to death, right?"

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements."

In fact, Zhu Qisheng was in a hurry to return to Beijing and had urged Lin Feng twice.

In order to catch Hong Xiao, Lin Feng had to be patient and wait for two more days.

This time I have gotten rid of a worry in my heart and I have nothing to worry about anymore.

Early the next morning, all personnel were waiting on the river bank in front of Shanglin Prefecture as planned.

Bai Jing followed Lin Feng and sent him out of the city.

Hu Jincai also brought a group of officials and generals, surrounded Lin Feng and others, and came to the Zhenxi ship together.

Hu Jincai asked quietly before Lin Feng boarded the boat.

"Boss, we brought too few people this time. It's a safety issue..."

Lin Feng patted his shoulder and said, "Just keep an eye on our territory. We've already made arrangements there, so don't worry."

"Don't worry, Boss. Who dares to touch the tiger's beard of the Zhenxi Army..."

"There are always people better than you, so don't underestimate your enemy."

"Yes, Boss, I'm telling you that if anything happens to me, Old Hu, I'll leave my head here for you."

Lin Feng glared at me and said, "Bullshit, why would I want your head? The men of Zhenxi are counting on me to lead a good life. It's never too careful."

Hu Jincai chuckled and nodded vigorously.

"Let's go, go back."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he waved to Bai Jing, turned around and stepped onto the deck.

Bai Jing nodded at him with a smile on her face.

This kind of separation has happened more than once.

Besides, it’s only a day’s boat ride from Shanglin Prefecture to Kyoto, and it’s not a life-and-death separation.

The Zhenxi started slowly, and behind it were four large ships from the imperial court that came to reward the three armies.

This time, the boats were full of people and horses, and they were sailing upstream along the wide river.

On the third floor of Zhenxi, Lin Feng designed four suites. In addition to Lin Feng’s residence, he also arranged a suite for Zhu Qisheng.

Of course, at Zhu Qisheng's request, Zhao Tianyu also lived in the suite on the third floor.

Xi Niang's residence is, of course, also on the third floor, which is necessary as the command room of the warship.

Another eldest princess, Zhao Yi, was arranged to stay in a room on the second floor, which made her very unhappy, but she had no choice.

Zhao Shuo used the excuse of protecting Lin Feng's safety at all times and sneaked into the room on the third floor.

Pei Qiyin didn't need to use any space. She and Lin Feng slept in the same room, so there was no need for a separate room.

Cheng Liang and Wen Jian also stayed on the third floor, while Ye Liangchen and Bu Yunting could only stay on the second floor.

The Zhenxi sailed against the wind and waves, and with the wind in its favor, it hoisted its sails and sailed faster than a galloping horse.

The four large ships behind were left far behind and disappeared without a trace.

There is a conference room on the third floor of Zhenxi, which is also a multi-functional hall and can also be used as a restaurant.

This place can accommodate more than a dozen people and is the most spacious place on the third floor.
