Chapter 104: Night Talk at Linjin

  Jintai City, night.

  Recently, the border has been somewhat restless. As the county town of Jintai County, Jintai City also closed its city gate early. Although the city is still prosperous, it has also added a tense atmosphere.

  Suddenly, the massive city gate burst open with a loud crash, and giant iron-clad tigers rushed out of the city, trampling through the snow and galloping towards the distance. The knights on horseback grasped their war spears, with heavy swords hanging from their saddles, each with piercing gazes like sharp knives.

  One hundred Red Tiger Army quickly disappeared into the night, and the city gate of Jintai City was closed with a loud bang.

  Liu Yu sat on the back of Chi Hu, turned his head and took a glance at the Golden City in the night, with a hint of cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

  "Chu Xuehan must think I'm being reckless this time, but little does he know that Third Young Master has an ace up his sleeve!"

  Recalling Chu Xuehan's stunning face, Liu Yu felt a wave of heat in her lower abdomen and involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

  "You cheap thing! Every day, you ignore me with a look of disdain. Hmph, one day, I'll crush you beneath my feet and thoroughly destroy you!"

  "A beauty like this is born to belong to me. That good-for-nothing Liu Quan, does he deserve a woman like this?"

  Liu Yu's gaze turned to a silent knight beside him, and a hint of a strange smile appeared on his face.

  "Shen Lao, this time's action is all up to you!" Liu Yu transmitted his voice.

  "Haha! Don't worry, I've got this under control." The knight transmitted his voice with a smile, "We have the 100 Red Tiger Army, and I'm still a warrior. If we can't take down that little brat Xiao Yang, then all these years of my life would be in vain!"

  "This time, the old guys in the Council of Elders will definitely look at Third Young Master with new eyes, and the Sect Master will also think that Third Young Master is a talent. At that time, the possibility of Third Young Master becoming the Young Sect Master will be much greater! I just hope that when the time comes, the Young Sect Master won't forget about me!"

  "Rest assured, Elder Shen! If this matter is successful, I will make sure to expedite your entry into the Council of Elders. And when I become the new Sect Master of the Kunyu Sect in the future, you can take my place as the leader of the Council of Elders!" Liu Yu said with a solemn oath.

  "Thank you, Young Master! I hope you'll remember today's words in the days to come!" Old Shen said with a smile.

  "Hmph! Border war, neither side is allowed to use military force, what kind of ridiculous rules are these!" Liu Yu sneered, "Since it's a war, let's fight to the death, whatever means necessary can be used, but instead there are so many restrictions!"

  "Haha! I've just recently become a martial artist, and no one in the sect knows about it yet, let alone the Luoyun Sect! As long as we wipe out Xiao Yang's people, this matter will be completely unknown to anyone, and no one can find any fault with it. With so many Red Tiger Army soldiers, I'm still a martial artist, and the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry is nothing in front of us!" Old Shen chuckled to himself.

  "Haha, well said!" Liu Yu burst out laughing.

  …………

  Inside Jintai City, within the military camp.

  "Xue Wan, I really think Lao San makes some sense. With the addition of Lao San's 100 Red Tiger Army, we will have the upper hand in terms of strength, and it's not impossible to take the initiative to attack once." Liu Quan explained under the moonlit osmanthus tree, looking at that dreamy woman.

  "If it were just a hundred Red Tiger Army brought by Liu Yu, that would be fine, but...” Chu Xuehuan gently shook her head.

  "What's wrong, Xue Wan?" asked Liu Quan.

  "Brother Quan, our original plan must still be carried out, and we need to speed up a bit!" Chu Xuehan bit her red lips lightly and said, "We have gathered the sixty Red Tiger Army riders who returned with us. They will set out immediately and ambush in the forest outside Wohu City. When Liu Yu's sneak attack fails, the Lu Yun Sect will definitely be extremely enraged and speed up their attack. If we're late, I'm afraid it'll be too late!"

  "Are you saying that Lao San and his group will fail this time?" Liu Quan asked in surprise.

  Chu Xuewan nodded and said: "You, brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him again!"

  "If so, why didn't you stop him just now?" Liu Quan asked hastily.

  Chu Xuewan fell silent and gazed deeply at Liu Quan.

  "That's right, you stopped him, he didn't listen to you." Liu Quan patted his head.

  "Quan Ge, if you believe in my judgment, then do as I say." Chu Xuehan sighed.

  "I believe you, of course I believe you!" said Liu Quan. "We'll leave now and rush to the outside of Wotou City! If Third Brother doesn't listen to you, it's his own fault, no one else is to blame. A useless brother like him, if he dies, he dies, I won't even feel heartache for him!"

  A moment later.

  The gate of Jintai City opened with a loud bang again, and dozens of Chi Hu Jun knights rushed into the snowy night...

  …………

  Lingjin City, inside the military camp.

  Lin Feng had just fallen asleep when a low knocking sound came from outside his room.

  Lin Feng opened the door, and a beautiful girl in blue stood outside, her face was extremely solemn.

  "It's already past midnight, why are you still awake?" Lin Feng said.

  "Lin Ge, I couldn't sleep." Fang Qingxue looked at Lin Feng and said softly, "Can you accompany me for a walk?"

  "Now?" Lin Feng was shocked.

  "What's wrong, Brother Lin doesn't want to?" Fang Qingfeng said disappointedly.

  "Nothing's wrong, let's go!" Lin Feng hastily said.

  Fang Qing smiled slightly and turned around to walk away, Lin Feng followed closely behind.

  The two men left the military camp and walked through the streets of Linjin City.

  After midnight, Linjin City was still lit up everywhere, and everywhere echoed with mournful cries.

  "Lin Ge, today is the first time I've killed someone."

  Looking around at the houses, one by one filled with hateful gazes, Fang Qingfeng remained silent for a long time before suddenly speaking up.

  "We have no choice. This is war and we are warriors. If we don't kill, more of our comrades will fall." Lin Feng said quietly.

  "What you said, I understand. But I still can't let go." Fang Qingfeng sighed faintly, "Perhaps my heart is not as strong as I thought it was."

  "No matter what, being under the rule of our Luoyun Sect is definitely better than being under the rule of the Kunyu Sect. Now they hate us, but after dozens of years, this hatred will be forgotten, and all they'll remember are the benefits of the Luoyun Sect." Lin Feng said softly, "The expansion of any power cannot avoid bloodshed, and the entire continent is no exception. But time can change everything, and people who once hated each other will eventually become close as brothers."

  Fang Qingxue looked at Lin Feng in astonishment and lowered her head to say, "Brother Lin, are these really your true thoughts?"

  Lin Feng shook his head and said, "These... are actually the words my father often said. He said that this Xuanwu Continent is really too chaotic. In ancient times, the entire continent was still united as one. At that time, people didn't have so many conflicts with each other, and even ordinary civilians could live in peace."

  "I don't like these words." Fang Qingxiang shook her head and said, "Those ambitious heroes, when expanding their own power, will say such things. Lin Ge, will you become a hero in the future?"

  "Me?" Lin Feng smiled and said, "I, Lin Feng, will always be just a humble foot soldier of the Luoyun Sect. I am not some kind of hero, but as for the expansion of our sect's power, I am also willing to see it happen. You are also well aware of how the Kunyu Sect and Xuanyue Sect rule. My only hope is that I can help our sect unify this corner of the land south of the Tian Nan mountain range, so that my Luoyun Sect will no longer have to worry about war, and the civilians here can live in peace and prosperity."

  "This will be a road paved with blood!" Fang Qingfeng shook his head slightly.

  "We've already set foot on this path, haven't we?" Lin Feng smiled slightly, "Jintai County is just the beginning, absolutely not the end!"

  "When you say that, you really are like a hero, Lin Ge. Fang Qing Shuang sighed softly, "This kind of you, I... seem to not like as much!"

  "Heh heh, Qingfeng, I know what you're pursuing is the pinnacle of power, to make yourself stronger. And as for me, I hope our sect becomes stronger. Our sect is really important to me! There's something here that I must protect." Lin Feng said softly.

  Before his eyes appeared Ye Zi Qing's cold and beautiful face. Although it was a snowy night, he still felt his heart burning with desire.

  Luoyun Sect is Yezi's home, so he guards Luoyun Sect, no other choice!

  The two of them were silent, trudging through the snow as they walked forward. Lifting their heads to take a look, the city gate was already before their eyes.

  As hundreds of Wulin riders were still stationed outside the city, according to Xiao Yang's orders, the gates of Linjin City did not close. Lin Feng and Fang Qingxue had the emblem of Luoyun Sect on their robes, so they didn't encounter any obstruction and walked out of the city easily.

  Outside Linjin Castle, there is no longer any sign of daytime battles, only endless snowfields. In the distance, a dense cluster of tents, inside which are stationed hundreds of Wulin light cavalry.

  On Linjiang Lake, there is a warship gently cruising on the lake surface.

  The warship's bow, a white-clad young girl stood leaning against the railing, her icy gaze fixed on the distant Ulin Light Cavalry camp.

  Fang Qing's eyes flashed, and she saw Tuoba Xue in the lake. Her pretty face also sank suddenly. She couldn't forget what Tuoba Xue had said to Lin Feng during the day.

  Tuoba Xue also saw the two of them, but she was slightly stunned.

  Lin Feng smiled slightly and looked at Tuoba Xue, making a gesture of drawing a bow and arrow with both hands.

  "Whoosh!" Lin Feng said softly, releasing the nonexistent bowstring.

  "Hmph!" Taoba Xueqiao's face turned icy cold as she turned around and walked back into the cabin.

  "Let's go, we're going back!" Tuoba Xue ordered.

  "Yes, sir!"

  The large ship no longer patrolled outside the city and began to slowly sail towards the dock inside the city.

  "Lin Feng! I, Tuoba Xue, will definitely crush you under my feet one day, definitely!" Tuoba Xue thought furiously.

  "This little girl bears deep hostility towards us!" Fang Qing said in a cold voice.

  "Just treat her like an ant, don't bother with her." Lin Feng smiled lightly.

  The two continued walking on the snowy plain, and the city gradually became farther and farther away. On the city wall, a small figure appeared in sight.

  "Dead Maple Brother, Stinky Maple Brother, you're actually this nice to other women too!" Little Demon's pouted mouth hummed in discontent.

  "Hmm! Out so late, must be up to something shady, I'll go take a look!"

  Her slender foot touched the breastwork lightly, and Ye Ling'er floated down from the city wall and landed gently on the snowy ground.

  "Lin Feng, you and she aren't having an illicit affair, are you? Otherwise..." Xiaomo's fist clenched tightly, her beautiful eyes narrowed menacingly as she quickly disappeared into the snowy wind...
