Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 723 Easing Relations

Wan Zhuo nodded. "Lin Feng is very skilled. We are not sure of his ability. That's why we spent a lot of money to hire a professional killer."

Xu Jin felt a little relieved.

That's pretty good. Although Wan Zhuo is young, he knows the seriousness of the matter.

Suddenly, he wondered again: "Why do we have to turn off the lights before we start?"

Zhao Mengfei obviously knew the details of the assassination plan, and at this moment he smiled strangely at Xu Jin.

"Brother Xu, do you know who is the most powerful in the dark world?"

Xu Jin shook his head. He didn't know much about these underworld organizations.

Zhao Mengfei lowered his voice proudly.

"Block the sun."

Xu Jin didn't understand and rolled his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Wan Zhuo added, "He's a top killer who lives in the dark. He prefers to kill in the dark and never misses."

Xu Jin finally understood, nodded slightly, and went over the whole process again in his mind.

After a while, Xu Jin let out a long breath.

"Okay, that's it. If we work together, great things will happen."

Nong Shangjin suddenly asked, "Master Wan, is your top card reliable?"

Wan Zhuo sneered, "This woman was originally the top prostitute at Xiehualou in Zhenxi Prefecture. She had already left Zhenxi when Lin Feng took over. There's nothing wrong with her background. Besides, she was only responsible for seducing and drugging customers to keep them. We'll just get rid of her after this."

Zhao Mengfei grinned and said, "What a pity..."

Wan Zhuo said in a deep voice, "Afterwards, I'll leave this girl to you to deal with. You can do whatever you want with her, but there's only one thing: don't let her live."

Zhao Mengfei nodded happily.

"Don't worry, sir."

Xu Jin clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's it. Come, I wish you success and help us get rid of the hatred in our hearts."

The four of them raised their glasses together and drank them all.

Kuncheng, inside Lin Feng’s command center.

There was a long table against the east wall, on which were placed twenty newly-made shotguns.

Lin Feng checked each one one by one, ensuring that every part on each gun met his required precision.

He asked the craftsman to make a micrometer and carefully recorded the data.

If there is any unqualified product, it must be redone and the person responsible will be severely punished.

Of course, under his strict requirements, there were no unqualified products in this batch of shotguns.

The weight of each bullet must be measured on a scale, and the error must not exceed the standard requirements.

With such strict requirements, Lin Feng was afraid that the barrel would explode or jam, which would be a fatal mistake on the battlefield.

After he finished the inspection, he immediately ordered Xie Chong to select twenty officers from the firearms battalion to come and receive the guns, and he would personally serve as their instructors.

Because the cost of bullets is too high, we will practice shooting simulations for now.

The characteristic of a shotgun is that after the bullet leaves the barrel, it will explode into a circular impact point with a diameter of one and a half feet at a distance of forty steps.

The effective range is more than fifty steps, and the armor can be penetrated within forty steps.

Therefore, shotguns do not require very high shooting skills.

However, Lin Feng still strictly requires every team member to have shooting accuracy.

The twenty officers in front of them will be instructors for the 500 members of the Firearms Battalion, and they must thoroughly understand every component and working principle of the shotgun.

It is required to be able to handle all on-site failures quickly.

Because the area under Lin Feng's jurisdiction has a fast economic development and the people are wealthy, it has also attracted many artisans of all kinds to come and work.

The more craftsmen there are, the faster the production will be.

On average, five shotguns can be produced per day.

One hundred bullets.

Of course, Lin Feng also invested a lot of silver and various mineral resources for this.

After finishing the work of the Firearms Camp, Lin Feng turned to the attack plan for Lindu City.

The overall plan has been basically completed, but there are still many details that need further discussion.

Lin Feng was so busy that he almost didn't even have time to eat.

The troops from the eight Acropolises will be concentrated at his command center in all situations.

Fortunately, he now has four staff officers who help him sort out various intelligence and write down their opinions on how to deal with some non-important matters.

Lin Feng has an even more arduous task, which is to deal with the huge amount of information from the seven northwestern prefectures. He also needs to make decisions on some matters that others cannot handle.

Kuncheng's command center is like a busy spinning top, spinning non-stop, collecting all kinds of information, processing it, and then distributing it.

There are four military staff officers, and Bai Jing and Zhu Jie are in charge of government affairs.

Later, Pei Qiyin also followed suit.

This woman was born with a special sensitivity to things, not only in her senses, but also in her brain. She could make a rough judgment about many things just by looking at reports.

Compared with the Dazong court, Lin Feng is more like the business volume of Prime Minister Han Qi and Grand Tutor Wan Quan.

Zhao Shuo brought an invitation on behalf of his father, King Rui. It had been a long time since I last saw Zhao Shuo. The boy had become darker and thinner, but his muscles and bones seemed to have become much stronger.

"Brother, my father said that the new commander of the Royal Guard, Xu Jin, has been begging him for a long time, hoping to invite you to his house for a meal and a drink to ease the relationship between the two sides."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "There's nothing between him and me, so there's nothing to ease up on."

Zhao Shuo also smiled: "Big brother is the commander of the Imperial Guards, and officially his immediate superior. If this relationship is not repaired, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along in the future."

Lin Feng didn't even raise his head.

"Your father is his immediate superior. I have no control over him."

Zhao Shuo hesitated and said, "My father means that Big Brother and he are in the same system and will have to cooperate sooner or later. I hope Big Brother can give him face."

Lin Feng then raised his head and glanced at Zhao Shuo.

"Do you think Xu Jin really wants to give in to me?"

Zhao Shuo shrugged indifferently.

"Who cares? The main thing is my dad's side. He used to be at odds with Wan Quan, but now that he's finally gotten rid of that old guy, the Imperial Guards are now one family."

Lin Feng looked amused: "Why, your father wants to take back power?"

"How could that be? My dad doesn't want to care about so much. It's just a drink. If big brother doesn't want to go, forget it."

Lin Feng frowned and said seriously.

"Your father should be better off if I don't go to this banquet."

Zhao Shuo looked at the gold-stamped invitation in his hand in confusion.

"This is written by my father, how could it be..."

"Now many ministers in the court regard me as a thorn in their side. If I enter the city, there will be a lot of trouble."

"Brother, let's bring more people. I'll kill anyone who dares to blow up his wings."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Put down the invitation, I'll think about it first."

Zhao Shuo placed the invitation on Lin Feng's desk and turned around to wave his hand.

"Then I'm going back, big brother. Call me if you need anything."

As he spoke, he strode out of the house.

He walked briskly. Lin Feng squinted his eyes and looked through the door at the courtyard.

Obviously, even if there was a conspiracy, it had nothing to do with this guy.

Zhao Shuo's tendency is still very obvious, and his mind is simple.

Except for his father, he will follow him firmly.

Pei Qiyin reached out to take the invitation and looked through it for a while.

"Xu Jin's intentions are unclear. Will he sincerely reconcile with us?"
