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

The General's Mansion, the storeroom.

Wang Jin was directing three people to place the candied fruit in a corner next to the various dried fruits.

"Wang Jin, what exactly did that person mean by what they said just now?" Feng Qing asked in a deep voice, her back to him.

Wang Jin looked distressed and advised, "Miss, why bother investigating further? Just pretend you didn't hear or see anything."

"explain!"

Feng Qing suddenly turned around, her phoenix eyes flashing with a cold light.

Wang Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly peeked out of the warehouse.

Seeing that the northern barbarian soldiers were far away and probably couldn't hear him, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Keep your voice down, young lady!"

"That Northern Barbarian General Zheng likes to eat people. He calls old and thin men 'Rao Ba Huo', young women 'Bu Xian Yang', and children 'He Gu Lan'."

"That child just now was the one who was kidnapped and brought into the manor to be used as food."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. He had heard about Zheng Yan's cannibalism from Lu Qingqing before.

Unexpectedly, this villain even targeted children!

Xue Nan gritted her teeth and roared, "That beast Zheng Yan! Once we catch him, we'll tear him to pieces!"

Feng Qing was also trembling with anger. She stared at the direction outside the warehouse, a murderous intent suddenly rising in her eyes!

Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly lowered his voice and reminded him, "Although Zheng deserves to die, it won't take much longer. Don't let momentary anger delay important matters!"

Wang Jin nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Lord Lin is right! Gentlemen, let's talk outside. Let's hurry and leave, don't linger!"

He was filled with anxiety, fearing that the three righteous men would cause trouble in the mansion.

If a fight really breaks out, they might be able to escape due to their superior martial arts skills, but I would certainly die.

Only after stepping out of the general's mansion did Wang Jin's heart finally settle down.

The group took the goods to the freight station, unloaded everything, and then found an inn to stay in for the time being.

Night fell in a room on the second floor of the inn.

Lin Feng and Feng Qing sat by the window, their gazes fixed on the city gate two streets away.

The room was unlit, and the bright moonlight streamed in through the window.

Feng Qing carefully wiped the short blade and said softly, "There are fifty soldiers guarding the south gate tonight, all wearing leather armor, while we only have short blades. This battle will be extremely dangerous."

Lin Feng's gaze was deep as he slowly spoke: "It's not that difficult. Jiming City is far from the front line, and the soldiers are already exhausted. They will definitely take turns doing the hard work of night watch."

"Some people will keep watch for the first half of the night, and some will keep watch for the second half. By the time we take action, most of them will be asleep."

Feng Qing looked up at him, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

"Even so, they will surely be awakened if we make a move."

"What's the point of Lord Lin saying all this?"

Lin Feng smiled slightly and pointed to his ear.

"In the stillness of the night, the breathing of awake and sleeping soldiers is distinctly different; I only need to listen to their sounds to pinpoint their location."

"Brother Xue has already prepared a bow and arrows for me. If we act at night, I can shoot down the awake night watchmen just by listening to their breathing."

At this moment, Feng Qing had removed her disguise, revealing her stunningly beautiful face, both heroic and elegant.

She leaned forward, asking with a hint of disbelief, "Lord Lin, are you joking with me? You can shoot down an enemy just by listening to their breathing?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly and leaned forward in imitation of her, instantly closing the distance between them.

"Miss Feng, haven't you heard of 'making a fuss over nothing'? I've had exceptional hearing since childhood; don't you believe me, Miss Feng?"

Feng Qing remained silent for a moment, her eyes shining like amber in the moonlight.

"I have seen many highly skilled martial arts masters since I was a child, but none of them have ever been able to do the so-called 'catching the wind and grasping the shadow'."

"Lord Lin, please don't gamble with everyone's lives."

"Don't think that just because I'm a woman you're ignorant, you can spout nonsense and boast in front of me!"

Feng Qing smiled, revealing a pair of cute little tiger teeth.

"To be honest, I have a bad temper, and I hate people who talk nonsense and love to boast!"

As she spoke, she leaned forward again, her breath sweet and fragrant.

"Lord Lin, don't you have any other explanation?"

Clearly, Feng Qing didn't believe his story at all.

Lin Feng felt the faint fragrance emanating from Feng Qing, a scent unique to young girls.

"When I was young, I was taught the method of circulating qi by a wandering Taoist priest, and my hearing also became more and more acute as I grew older."

Lin Feng's lips curled slightly as he met Feng Qing's beautiful yet sharp eyes: "Is this explanation satisfactory, Miss Feng?"

"Or do you want to verify it on the spot?"

As he spoke, a sharp glint appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.

The two were only a hand's width apart, and the atmosphere was both tense and subtly ambiguous.

Lin Feng's breath brushed against Feng Qing's cheek, making her slightly uncomfortable, but she still refused to show weakness.

"Alright! Tonight, we'll rely entirely on Lord Lin!"

Because of what happened last night, Feng Qing already had a bad impression of Lin Feng, always feeling that he was too exaggerated and talked too much.

"This humble woman wants to see for herself just how capable Lord Lin is!"

After speaking, Feng Qing slowly shrank back, putting distance between herself and him.

The two fell silent again, their gazes fixed on the distance, quietly waiting for their chance.

As midnight approached, very light footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by Xue Nan's whisper: "My lord, Miss Feng, are you ready?"

Lin Feng and Feng Qing perked up and immediately opened the door.

"Is Wang Jin settled in properly?" Lin Feng asked.

Xue Nan nodded: "It's all settled. I've given him his medicine and put it under the bed. He'll sleep soundly until dawn and won't get in the way."

"good!"

Lin Feng shouted in a deep voice, "Action!"

They were the only guests at the inn.

Xue Nan had already drugged and rendered the boss, waiter, and cook unconscious, and then settled them all in a safe place.

The group walked out through the back door of the inn.

All twelve men wielded short blades, except for Lin Feng, who carried a hunting bow and had fifty arrows at his side.

Although there were enough arrows, the workmanship was extremely rough.

It is not even comparable to armor-piercing arrows, let alone ordinary arrows used in the army.

However, Xue Nan had to go through a lot of trouble to buy this bow from an old hunter at a high price.

After Zheng Yan entered the city, he confiscated weapons from the homes of ordinary people, making it difficult for them to find knives and swords.

It was midnight, and the cold wind was howling.

Lin Feng and his group moved like ghosts, passing through alleys and quietly approaching the city gate.

A bonfire was burning at the city gate, and four soldiers were sitting around it chatting.

Inside the city gate, four other men were fast asleep, clutching their weapons.

Just as Lin Feng had said, the night watch was incredibly difficult, and the experienced soldiers had already divided into shifts for the first and second halves of the night.

Looking up at the city wall, the soldiers on night watch were all huddled behind the arrow slits for warmth, and no one paid attention to the movements below the city or inside the city.

Feng Qing lowered her voice and quickly made arrangements.

"There are four awake. As soon as Lord Lin shoots his arrow, we will charge and kill the rest of the sleeping soldiers as quickly as possible."

"If we're lucky, we won't alert the soldiers on the city wall."

"If things go wrong, Xue Nan, you should lead your men to storm the city walls first."

"Yes, sir!"

Xue Nan bowed and accepted the order, his body poised and ready to strike.

"No need!"

Just then, Lin Feng gently grasped Feng Qing's hand, who was about to rush out, and said in a deep voice, "Four people, I'll handle them!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing, Xue Nan, and the others in the group were all stunned.

Xue Nan's eyes widened, and she said urgently, "Sir, how do you plan to solve this? If you shoot them one by one, their shouts will surely alert the city walls before you finish!"

Lin Feng closed his eyes, listened intently, and whispered, "Shh—don't make a sound!"

At this moment, his hearing became even more acute.

The crackling sound of burning firewood.

The sound of four people breathing around the campfire.

Even the snoring of the sleeping soldiers inside the city gate was clearly audible.

Feng Qing frowned deeply, her brows almost forming a deep frown.

She suddenly remembered what Lin Feng had said at the inn, and her heart skipped a beat—was he serious?

"Lord Lin, what exactly do you want...?"

She whispered as she tried to break free of his hand.

Before he finished speaking, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand, and drew his bow.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three arrows shot out like meteors, and before everyone could see them, the arrows had already pierced the air.

"Pfft!"

The first arrow pierced straight through a man's neck with such force that it caused a penetrating wound.

The soldiers beside him turned their heads at the sound, and just as they saw the blood and bits of flesh on the arrow, a second arrow came flying at them.

With a "thud," the needle pierced his left eye, killing him instantly!

The remaining two were still in shock. Just as one of them was about to shout, an arrow pierced his neck.

The other person instinctively stood up, but the arrow had already accurately pierced his forehead!

Lin Feng swiftly killed four people with just two arrows!

Even more astonishingly, the third arrow flew straight into the city gate and accurately struck the sleeping soldier on the outermost side.

The man didn't even utter a sound before his body went limp and collapsed.

"My lord! Your archery skills are truly divine!"

"Your Excellency is mighty!"

"As expected of Commander Lin!"

The entourage gasped in hushed tones, their eyes filled with awe.
