Chapter 396 Pretending to be a Couple
Chapter 396 Pretending to be a Couple
Lin Feng came out of the house, no longer paying attention to Bonanzi's entanglement, and went straight back to the command center.
He has important things to do, so how can he get bogged down in these complicated little things?
"Jing, have Hu Jincai and the others set off?"
Bai Jing nodded: "He led his men out of the castle an hour ago."
Lin Feng let out a long breath.
"Okay, I have to go check out the locations and construction speed of the camps. We need to speed up the process of conquering the capital."
Bai Jing glanced at him suspiciously: "Brother, you won't take this opportunity to run to the capital, right?"
Lin Feng waved his hand: "I'm not that stupid. I'm not going to give myself up to others."
"Well, better not be stupid."
Lin Feng shook his head, smiled bitterly, and shouted loudly.
"Cheng Liang, Wen Jian, gather the troops, let's leave the city."
Cheng Liang and Wen Jian immediately ordered the guards to gather and led out Lin Feng's white horse.
Lin Feng went out and Li Xinyan, who was standing beside him, came over.
"Brother Lin, take me with you?"
Lin Feng glared at her and said, "Stay still and protect the steward."
Li Xinyan shrank her neck and rolled her eyes at Lin Feng's back.
Lin Feng led a team of five hundred guards, rumbled out of the castle gate, and headed southeast.
After most of the day, they arrived at the location of the first camp.
A large group of people were busy in the wilderness ahead.
Lin Feng discovered that in this place, Lin Qiaomei chose to use an existing dilapidated village.
A fence was built around the area, and thousands of people were digging soil and moving bricks to build the foundation.
Lin Qiaomei came forward with an unhappy look on her face.
"Brother, you put our camp at the back of the pack. What's the point?"
"It certainly has an effect. Even if you were ranked first, I'm afraid it wouldn't be very helpful in taking over the city."
Lin Qiaomei widened her eyes.
"How do you plan to take over the city?"
Lin Feng waved his hand: "We'll know when the time comes. Go ahead and do your work. Xi Niang will stay for a while."
Lin Qiaomei looked at Xi Niang in confusion, then at Lin Feng.
She didn't believe that anything would happen between Lin Feng and Xi Niang, but she just felt that Xi Niang would be reused by Lin Feng.
Xi Niang was also a little at a loss.
Lin Qiaomei patted her shoulder and said, "No matter what you do, I won't harm you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lin Feng looked at the girl standing in front of him. Her frail body seemed to be blown away by the breeze.
Lin Feng was very interested in Xi Niang's personality.
She was decisive and did not give her opponent any chance to resist.
He is not afraid of death, can fight even if he is resistant to attacks, and has very good riding and archery skills.
She is a woman, so she can make the enemy relax their vigilance during the battle.
After examining him for a moment, Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Xiuniang, you stay with us for a while."
The five hundred guards mounted their horses again and continued to gallop forward along the official road.
Lin Qiaomei looked at the smoke and dust in the sky and wrinkled her small nose.
"You're full of evil ideas, but you won't even let me get forward, huh."
Lin Feng led the team to Li Donglai's camp, and it was already dark.
Order the guards to set up camp on the spot and prepare to spend the night there.
Lin Feng had dinner with the soldiers of the guard team, and then called Xi Niang into his military tent alone.
"Sit down, don't be shy."
Xi Niang knelt opposite Lin Feng.
Lin Feng sat cross-legged, and the two were less than two steps apart.
"Xiniang, I called you here this time because I have an important mission that needs you to complete."
Xi Niang didn't say anything, but just looked at Lin Feng seriously, waiting for his next words.
"Tomorrow, you and I will pretend to be husband and wife and go to the capital together."
Xi Niang immediately widened her eyes and stared at Lin Feng blankly.
"Fake couple, no need to be so surprised, right?"
Xi Niang quickly shook her head, and a blush appeared on her pale face.
Lin Feng further explained: "The city wall is too high and difficult to climb. We need to carry weapons to enter the city, so we can only go through the city gate."
Xi Niang nodded to show that she understood.
"Someone from the prefectural city will come out to support us. According to their understanding, the best way for the city guards to dispel others' suspicions is probably the relationship between husband and wife."
Lin Feng continued.
Xi Niang rolled her eyes and couldn't help but smile at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Our mission is very important and requires us to take great risks. I hope to discuss this with you in advance and see what you think."
Xi Niang said softly, "The thing Xi Niang fears least in this life is danger."
"Okay, this time, maybe I, Lin Feng, was tempted by a fatal temptation. I'm a little crazy and a little bit obsessed. But no matter what, I want to try my best to take the city without any damage, regardless of success or failure."
"Yes, got it."
Xi Niang nodded slightly.
"We both put our lives on the line. If things go south, we'll just have to work hard to survive."
Xi Niang shook her head: "I figured that whoever wants to kill you would have to step over my dead body first."
Lin Feng shook his head: "No, no, no, I need a brave person, but I need a partner who can use his brain even more."
"partner?"
"Yes, it's us two."
Xi Niang pondered for a moment and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I'll use your brain."
Lin Feng praised: "I like your fighting spirit. Once you set your goal, you will move forward courageously. Come and shake hands."
Xi Niang felt embarrassed by his praise and looked a little awkward.
She stretched out her hand hesitantly, and Lin Feng held it tightly.
"Remember, before we get to the capital, we'll be husband and wife. Imagine what it's like to be married, understand?"
"Yes, got it."
"Okay, go get some rest. We'll set off early tomorrow morning and we'll probably be at the city gates by the evening of the day after tomorrow."
"Um... General... you..."
Although Lin Feng was encouraging Xi Niang, he was also unsure and considered it for a long time before making this decision.
Hearing Xi Niang's hesitation, he looked at her in surprise.
"what happened?"
"General, please...let go."
"Oh, sorry, I'm more nervous than you."
Lin Feng quickly let go of Xi Niang's hand.
The next day, a team of 500 guards led by Lin Feng arrived at Hu Jincai's camp.
This place is less than a hundred miles away from the provincial capital.
Wei Bao's cavalry camp has blocked an area of nearly 100 miles outside the city.
Therefore, Lin Feng was not afraid that the news would be leaked to the Black Scarf Army.
Hu Jincai had already prepared weapons for him according to Lin Feng's deployment and hid them under an ox cart.
The ox cart was loaded with some brand new bedding, snacks, fruits and other gifts.
Lin Feng and Xi Niang pretended to be a newly married couple returning to their parents' home.
The driver was Wen Jian, and he looked very like a coachman.
He wore a straw hat on his head, a patched jacket, his trouser legs were rolled up, and his bare feet were covered in mud.
Lin Feng and Xi Niang also changed into new clothes, looking like a newly married couple.
Cheng Liang selected dozens of guards, dispersed them, and each looked for opportunities to enter the city.
After preparing everything, early the next morning, Wen Jian drove the ox cart and swayed onto the official road leading to the provincial capital.
As dusk approached, the ox cart finally arrived at the city gate just in time for the meeting.
Two people were already waiting outside the city, one was the steward of the Chu Mansion, and the other was He Zhiwu's chief guard.
The two men stepped forward, asked a few questions as agreed, and then led the ox cart directly towards the city gate.
Guarding the city gate were soldiers of the Black Turban Army, all wearing the same black turban and black leather armor.
Seven or eight black-turbaned soldiers stared at the ox cart and slowly surrounded it.
