Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

Lu Qingqing's long prison sentence finally had a glimmer of hope.

Many of the pieces of information she used to exchange for freedom were quite valuable.

The information related to Zheng Yan is particularly crucial.

At this moment, the two clinked glasses and exchanged toasts, creating a rare harmonious atmosphere.

About half an hour later, Lin Feng waved and got up to say goodbye.

"Madam Lu, it's getting late, and the wine is all gone. I should take my leave now."

Watching his departing figure, Lu Qingqing's heart stirred, and she couldn't help but call out, "Lin Feng!"

Lin Feng stopped in his tracks, turned around, and asked, "Is there something you need, Madam Lu?"

Lu Qingqing pursed her lips, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible unease: "When will you come to see me next?"

These words startled Lin Feng slightly. After a moment of thought, he said, "I'm afraid it won't be possible in the short term. I'll come to see you after I finish my official business."

The light in Lu Qingqing's eyes dimmed instantly, and she nodded gently: "I am not yet married and am about the same age as you. Next time we meet, please don't call me 'wife' anymore."

Raymond Lam smiled faintly: "Okay!"

His figure disappeared completely outside the cell door, and the cell fell silent once again.

Lu Qingqing stared at the empty doorway, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She was imprisoned because of Raymond Lam and was even tortured by him using water torture.

But during those long years of imprisonment, apart from the silent prison guards, only Lin Feng would come to see her.

And each time, he would bring drinks, food, and pastries, and spend a few words with her.

She knew perfectly well that the handsome young man before her was ruthless and the mastermind behind her plunge into the abyss.

Yet, amidst this boundless silence, he couldn't help but develop a fondness for him, even a dependence on him.

A jumble of complex emotions left her feeling lost and confused.

She could only curl up in the thin blankets, struggling and agonizing alone...

Outside the main gate of the prison, the jailer was bowing as he saw Lin Feng off, his face full of flattery. "Lord Lin, everything was done as you instructed. The prisoner is locked in the deepest part of the prison, so she won't hear a sound."

"Even when the prison guards bring her food or bone-strengthening medication, they watch her eat it without saying a word to her. Are you satisfied now?"

Lin Feng's expression was stern. He tossed out a silver ingot and said in a deep voice, "Well done. Keep it up. You'll get your share of the reward!"

The jailer took the silver, his smile growing even more obsequious: "Rest assured, sir, this is simply my duty!"

Lin Feng had his own plans. Lu Qingqing had many secrets hidden in her mind, especially the news about the Northern Barbarian National Preceptor, which concerned him the most.

However, she has a strong personality and is the commander of the Northern Barbarian Dark Guard, making her a special person.

The imperial court had already issued an official document ordering Zhenyuan City to spare her life, which would later be used to exchange for the captured Daqian soldiers.

Therefore, using force is already inappropriate. If excessive torture forces her to commit suicide, it would be counterproductive.

After much thought, he came up with this less-than-honorable solution.

First, let the cold landing wear down Qingqing's spirit and mental defenses.

He then took the opportunity to visit again, hoping to extract information from the visitor.

Especially regarding the background of Zheng Yan, the garrison commander of Jiming City.

In retrospect, this method has indeed worked.

After leaving prison, Lin Feng walked slowly home under the bright moonlight.

The ordinary soldiers were unaware of the expedition, but the two wives at home had to be informed.

The Lin family home was warm and cozy at night.

Song Yuwei nestled in Lin Feng's arms, her arms wrapped around his waist, her voice somewhat muffled: "My husband is going to risk his life again? There are so many generals in the army, why did you have to be chosen?"

Lin Feng gently patted her shoulder and comforted her softly, "Brother Lü and I have been deep into Elephant Trunk Mountain and are familiar with the terrain. It is only natural that His Highness Prince Qin chose me."

"You and Wan'er stay home and wait for me. After this battle is over, Zhenyuan City will no longer be engulfed in war."

Song Yuwei raised her face, her eyes full of anticipation: "Really? My husband won't have to put himself in danger anymore?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Regardless of the outcome of this battle, both the Northern Barbarians and the Great Qian are at their limit, and peace talks are imminent. Zhenyuan City will at least have a year and a half of peace."

Now that he is a commander of a thousand households, his horizons have broadened.

He had heard a lot about the affairs of the court from Li Ping'an and Lü Zheng during his daily interactions with them.

The two countries had been at war for a long time and were already exhausted.

Therefore, negotiation is the only way out.

Song Yuwei nestled against his strong chest and said softly, "Then my sister Wan'er and I will wait at home for our husband to return."

Lin Feng's eyes darkened, and he pulled her tightly into his arms, laughing, "Alright, but before I leave, I need to take care of something important."

As he spoke, his large hands skillfully removed Song Yuwei's undergarment.

Song Yuwei chuckled softly, her breath sweet as orchids.

"This is what my husband calls 'serious business'? It sounds more like some shady dealings!"

Lin Feng gently tapped the tip of her nose and said seriously, "How am I being indecent? This could save your life in a critical moment!"

He knew in his heart that Song Yuwei's "lucky charm" attribute was a plus.

On the perilous battlefield, it might save his life.

That night, Raymond Lam spent a long time intimately with Song Yuwei and Su Wan'er.

They didn't stop until the two women were exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

For the next few days, he did this every night, managing to maintain his "lucky charm" for nearly half a month before it stopped.

Four days later, in the dead of night, was the day Lin Feng set off on his expedition.

At the south gate of Zhenyuan City, in the dead of night.

The city gates slowly opened.

An army quietly left the city; it was Lin Feng's three thousand elite troops.

Although they were called elite troops, they were actually his original thousand men plus two thousand soldiers drawn from the Zhenyuan Army.

Li Pingan and Lü Zheng came to see him off in person.

Lu Zheng stepped forward and instructed, "Brother Lin, our father said to be careful in everything you do over there and to prioritize your own safety."

"After taking Jiming City, we must be even more vigilant and guard against the possibility of Northern Barbarian secret guards hiding in the city."

Lin Feng, dressed in the armor given to him by Zhang Liao, stood tall and looked exceptionally heroic.

He bowed respectfully, his voice booming, "Please inform the General, Brother Lü, that Lin Feng will certainly not fail in his mission and will not bring shame to the brothers of the Zhenyuan Army!"

Li Ping'an patted him on the shoulder, his tone earnest: "Brother Lin, take care on your journey. We'll celebrate your triumphant return together!"

Three thousand soldiers left the city one after another. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Feng mounted his horse and waved goodbye to the two men.

Goodbye, both of you!

But just as his warhorse stepped out of the city gate, an urgent call came from behind: "Brother Lin!"

The girl's clear voice was exceptionally distinct in the quiet night.

Lin Feng reined in his horse and turned around, only to see Du Banruo running quickly toward the city gate.

"Prajna? What brings you here?"

He had already sent someone to inform Du Banruo about the expedition, telling her that the expedition at midnight was dangerous and that she did not need to come to see her off, but should stay at home.

Du Banruo wore a plain white dress and no makeup, yet her natural beauty was undeniable.

She jogged all the way to the city gate, panting heavily, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Brother Lin is going to war, Prajna... Prajna must come to see you off!"

Seeing this, Li Ping'an and Lü Zheng exchanged a smile and winked at Lin Feng.

Lu Zheng joked, "Brother Lin, your sister is really thoughtful, coming all alone to see you off in the middle of the night. Her affection is truly extraordinary!"

Li Ping'an feigned self-deprecation, but was actually teasing: "Brother Lü, we're both from military families, so why don't we have Brother Lin's luck with women? He's never short of girls around him!"

Seeing Du Banruo blushing and at a loss for words, Lin Feng quickly waved them away, saying, "Go away! My sister came to see me off. What are you all making a fuss about here? Go away!"

After shooing the two away, Lin Feng said softly, "Bore, it's cold at night, why did you have to make this trip yourself?"

Du Banruo took out a cloth bag from her bosom and handed it to him, her eyes full of warmth: "Brother Lin, here, this is for you."

Lin Feng bent down to take it, and it was scalding hot to the touch. He immediately frowned: "It's so hot? Are you alright? What's in here?"

Du Banruo smiled gently, "I'm fine. These are meat pies. It'll be cold going out of town at night, and Brother Lin will definitely be hungry on the road, so I made three for you to take. And this..."

As she spoke, she took out a red string from her bosom.

There was a small amulet attached to it.

"This is a treasured amulet in my family. It contains copper coins minted the year Emperor Chengzu worshipped at Huangjue Temple. It can protect you and keep you safe."

"Brother Lin, please lower your head..."

Holding the warm pie and gazing at the girl's clean and pretty face, Lin Feng felt a warmth in his heart: "Prajna, you're so thoughtful."

As he spoke, he leaned slightly forward on his horse so that Du Banruo could reach him.

Du Banruo solemnly tied the amulet around his neck and carefully tucked it into his armor.

She looked up at him, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Brother Lin, when you come back, come to my house, okay? I'll cook you a delicious meal."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, reaching out to pat her head: "Okay, Brother Lin promises you!"

Du Banruo gazed at him, her eyes seemingly filled with autumn water, full of affection: "Hmm... Banruo will wait for you to come back."
