Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 757: A Short Pain is worse than a Long Pain

"He always says he doesn't like you and wants to find a chance to teach you a lesson. Gao Tong is very powerful and can beat seven or eight people by himself. Master Lin, you should leave first."

Lin Feng thought about it and felt that Cui Yichen had been quite polite to them, so it would not be appropriate to become angry with him over this.

"Okay, then we'll leave tomorrow."

"Mr. Lin, please take Xiaodong with you. I'm very capable. I can cook, wash clothes, and...warm the bed."

Xiaodong had tears in his eyes and looked at Lin Feng expectantly.

Seeing that pitiful little look, Hong Xiao couldn't help but shake her head and refuse.

"Tell me, why do you want to leave the Cui family?"

Lin Feng didn't want to kidnap someone else's maid and run away without any reason.

Xiaodong lowered his head and choked with sobs.

"My master wants to take me as his concubine, and the mistress told me in private that if I dare to agree, she will beat me to death. Now, Gao Tong wants me to be his concubine again, saying that the mistress has agreed... But Gao Tong's wife is even more vicious, and Xiao Dong can't survive..."

Lin Feng looked at the lovely little girl in front of him and felt that she was indeed pitiful. Being beautiful was a sin, and without a good family, she could only be at the mercy of others.

However, he is surrounded by dangers now. Taking her with him will definitely be a burden. Moreover, if he cannot take care of her, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Why us?"

"Mr. Lin is a kind person, and this sister has a stable personality and won't lose her temper easily. Xiaodong will definitely not suffer in the future."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "At such a young age, you are very good at judging people."

Seeing Lin Feng smile, Xiaodong quickly persuaded him.

"Mr. Lin, just accept Xiaodong. He can do anything, and he's not expensive."

Hong Xiao also laughed: "Xiaodong, do you want us to take you away, or do you want us to pay money to buy you?"

"It's all up to you, my dear sister."

Lin Feng was in a dilemma. It was not that he couldn't afford the money, nor that he couldn't take the people away, but that his situation was different and his future was unpredictable.

Hong Xiao quietly pulled Lin Feng aside and whispered.

"General, if you don't take her with you, she will suffer in the future. If you take her with you, you might kill her too soon. One will bring you long-term pain, the other may be short-term."

She looked at Lin Feng's expression and continued.

"Once you escape this disaster, the road ahead will be smooth."

Lin Feng nodded and turned to look at Xiaodong.

"You can come with us, but the road ahead is very dangerous. Are you afraid of death?"

"As long as I can leave them, I won't be afraid of death."

Xiaodong answered firmly.

"Okay then, go back and get ready. We'll leave tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Dadong immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed twice to Lin Feng.

Then he ran out quickly with a happy look on his face.

Lin Feng and Hong Xiao were invited by Cui Yichen to a guest room in the inn, where seven or eight low tables were placed and they sat facing each other.

Waitresses brought up various dishes, and those who attended the banquet were all business partners of Cui Yichen.

Lin Feng and Hong Xiao were arranged at the last table, near the door.

Hong Xiao refused to sit down and insisted on standing behind Lin Feng, carefully observing everyone's expressions.

Xiaodong brought over an exquisite wine pot and poured wine for Lin Feng. He had a smile on his face and secretly winked at Lin Feng with his left eye playfully.

He seems to be smiling, but his expression implies another meaning.

The light green wine was poured into the snow-white porcelain cup, and instantly filled with a refreshing aroma.

Cui Yichen raised his glass at the main seat and loudly invited all the guests to drink. Lin Feng also picked up the glass and held it in front of him.

When Hong Xiao leaned over to straighten his sleeves, her mouth was close to Lin Feng's ear.

"General, there's something wrong with the wine jug that Xiaodong is holding."

Lin Feng was stunned, his expression remained unchanged, he just held the cup in front of his face with both hands.

"So fast?"

Hong Xiao understood what he meant. He meant that Lin Feng’s enemies would come to him so soon.

"Not necessarily, but there's definitely something wrong with the alcohol."

Lin Feng stopped talking, and the guests were already drinking.

He also covered his face with his left sleeve, raised the wine glass to his lips, performed a trick, and poured out the wine.

This is easier than escaping alcohol in the previous life, mainly because the sleeves cover it and others cannot see whether the wine has been drunk or not.

Lin Feng judged that judging from the clarity of the wine and the smell, it was definitely not a highly toxic drug. At most, it contained something that would make people dizzy and sleepy.

What are they going to do?

He was just a businessman, and he didn't show how rich he was. Excluding the fact that he was a murderer with a purpose, the only thing left was a killer with a purpose.

He didn't expect that his opponent would be able to find his whereabouts so quickly.

Is there something wrong internally?

If there really is a problem within oneself, things will become complicated.

Xiaodong came over to pour wine again, still making faces, as if she was afraid that Lin Feng couldn't see that there was something wrong with her.

Hong Xiao stood behind Lin Feng. When she saw Xiao Dong's appearance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

The little guy also knew that there was something wrong with the wine, and that the other party was not rigorous in his work and his skills were limited.

This made Lin Feng feel that it was unlikely that his enemies had come looking for him, but rather that there must be problems within Cui Yichen's organization.

He could think of it, and Hong Xiao, as a veteran top killer, could naturally figure out the problem, and he felt a little relaxed.

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Feng pretended to be dizzy, put his hand on his forehead and supported himself on the low table.

At this time, Gao Tong, the leader of the caravan's guards, stood up. He walked to the center of the guest hall and bowed to all directions.

"My dear uncles, Gao Tong is here to greet you. What is our caravan most afraid of?"

Without waiting for the guest to answer, he continued loudly.

"Of course they're bandits. If you encounter bandits on the road, you'll lose everything. Therefore, Gao Tongtian, as the leader of the caravan's guard, not only must he fight bravely, but he must also be a master of martial arts. Here, Gao, I'm going to show off my skills to you uncles. If anyone thinks you have good martial arts skills, please come on stage and compete with me."

Cui Yichen, taking advantage of his drunkenness, also shouted loudly.

"Whoever can beat Gao Tong will be rewarded handsomely by Cui."

The guests were in an uproar and asked questions one after another.

"How much is the big reward?"

"How about a hundred taels of silver?"

Everyone was in a state of confusion again, thinking that one hundred taels was indeed a huge reward.

Gao Tong looked around at everyone proudly.

"Anyone who can deliver a high punch will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and anyone who can deliver a high kick will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver."

"it is good..."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly reached a climax, and everyone clapped and cheered loudly.

These businessmen who came to the banquet naturally had their own bodyguards to protect them. They were all men who had been involved in the underworld and had some martial arts skills.

Those who can stand behind the merchants are all personal bodyguards, and are also people with outstanding martial arts among the guards.

After getting the approval of their masters, they are all ready to give it a try.

Gao Tong raised his hands and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Since this is a fight, injuries are inevitable. Although life-threatening, please be prepared for this."

"certainly..."

"That's right."

Everyone understood the reason and naturally had no objections.

At this moment, a man who could no longer hold back strode to the middle of the room, rolled up his sleeves, and got ready.
