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

After listening to Lin Feng's plan, Zhang Liao remained silent for a moment.

"The peace treaty from the Northern Barbarians has been delivered, and the peace negotiations between the two countries have officially been put on the agenda."

"Our Great Qian needs to recuperate and rebuild, and so does the Northern Barbarians."

"There will be no more fighting in Zhenyuan City for at least a year."

"Lin Feng, if you continue to stay in Zhenyuan City, you're just wasting your time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he quickly stepped forward, respectfully saying, "General, I am ignorant and short-sighted. Please enlighten me."

Zhang Liao reached out and pressed his shoulder, saying in a deep voice, "I'm afraid my body can't hold on any longer. The imperial decree for my transfer will probably be delivered once the peace negotiations are settled."

"If I weren't at Zhenyuan Pass, you wouldn't need to stay here. You should go somewhere else to show your skills."

"With your abilities, you would definitely achieve great things if you went to lead troops in the provinces."

"The more chaotic the place, the easier it is to achieve great things."

"If there is a northern expedition in the future, or if war breaks out again in Zhenyuan City, I will speak to His Majesty to recall you."

"As for where to put my skills to use, I think Ruzhou is a good place."

"Ruzhou?" Lin Feng blinked, his face full of doubt. "General, Ruzhou is adjacent to the Western Regions. Buddhism is flourishing and commerce is thriving. It is a rare and prosperous place. What kind of turmoil could there be?"

Zhang Liao laughed heartily, looking up: "Outsiders only know that Ruzhou is rich and prosperous, but they don't know that its internal situation has long been corrupt and decadent."

"Lin Feng, I will discuss the matter of Ruzhou with you in detail another time."

"You just need to be mentally prepared first, and then it's entirely up to you whether you go or not."

Lin Feng immediately replied, "How could the General harm his subordinate? If you say it's worth going, then I will go! Can those people over there be more vicious than Zheng Yan? No matter what kind of monsters or demons they are, I can handle them!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Liao was even more delighted to hear this, and said, "Excellent! What ambition!"

Zhang Liao had already planned the whole thing out in his mind; sending Lin Feng to Ruzhou was just the first step.

If the plan can be successfully implemented, within ten years, the Great Qian Dynasty will surely gain another general who is no less capable than him.

His body was no longer fit for the battlefield.

But Lin Feng, the successor he chose, will continue to protect the Great Qian Dynasty and shine brightly for him.

Fifteen minutes later, in front of a pastry shop across the street from the General's Mansion.

Lin Feng strolled out leisurely, carrying a bag of pastries.

He was just thinking about what else to buy when he looked up and saw Feng Qing standing prettily outside the shop.

Passersby frequently cast glances at the scene, their eyes filled with admiration and amazement.

"Miss Feng? What are you doing here?"

Lin Feng glanced around but didn't see Li Ping'an or Lü Zheng.

"Don't bother looking anymore, Mr. Su has called your two brothers away."

Feng Qing took a step forward with her hands behind her back, her eyes smiling: "I came here specifically to see you."

Lin Feng looked at the smiling Feng Qing with some curiosity: "Miss Feng, is there something important you need me for?"

Feng Qing nodded, raising her fair and rosy cheeks, a rare hint of shyness in her eyes.

"I have booked a table at a restaurant and would like to invite Lord Lin to the banquet. I wonder if Lord Lin would do me the honor?"

Lin Feng's smile froze for a moment, and he remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Feng Qing's smile vanished instantly. She turned around angrily to leave, but Lin Feng quickly grabbed her hand.

"How could I refuse Miss Feng's invitation? But..."

Lin Feng looked apologetic and said, "I made an appointment with Prajna to go to her house this evening, and I can't break my promise."

"oh--"

Feng Qing drawled out her words, her tone laced with sarcasm: "So it's Lord Lin's 'little lover'!"

Lin Feng helplessly corrected him: "What little lover? She's my comrade's sister, so naturally she's my sister too..."

Feng Qing took a step forward and moved closer to Lin Feng.

Her bright eyes held a hint of cunning and amusement.

"Lord Lin, tonight, will you choose her, or this humble woman?"

Lin Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart and coughed lightly, "Actually... having a meal with Prajna won't take long. Miss Feng, why don't you go to the restaurant and wait for me? I'll come find you soon."

Feng Qing was practically pressed against Lin Feng, her breath sweet as orchids: "Well then, Lord Lin, do you know what you call this?"

"What?"

Lin Feng's gaze was drawn to her luscious lips, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

"Eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot!"

After saying that, Feng Qing turned and left, also taking the bag of snacks that Lin Feng had just bought with her.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Lin Feng looked at her with some surprise.

Feng Qing put her hands on her hips and shook the bag of pastries in her hand.

"Who told you to be so fickle? You want this and can't bear to part with that? Be careful you don't suffer a great loss!"

"I'm not waiting for you! Go find your little lover!"

"Consider this bag of pastries a lesson for you! Humph!"

Watching Feng Qing's figure gradually disappear into the crowd, Lin Feng felt both annoyed and amused.

Left with no other choice, he had to buy another bag of pastries.

On his way to Jiying Lane, he made a special detour to a tavern and a braised meat shop, where he bought two jars of fine wine and a pound of braised meat.

Zhenyuan City, Jiying Lane.

"Knock knock knock..."

When Lin Feng arrived at Du Banruo's house, the sun was just setting.

"They're here!"

Du Banruo pushed open the courtyard gate, her face beaming with a bright smile, and called out in a clear, cheerful voice, "Brother Lin!"

When Lin Feng saw her appearance today, he was taken aback.

Today she was wearing a long, high-necked coat made of plain satin, which was the most fashionable material in Zhenyuan City at the time.

Embroidered with delicate plum blossom patterns, it gleamed with a flowing luster under the light of the lanterns at the entrance.

The collar, cuffs, and hem are trimmed with a one-finger-wide strip of vermilion silk, the red and white contrasting beautifully for a festive touch.

Her lower body was a moon-colored horse-face skirt, with a red plum blossom embroidered at the front, hanging down from the waist of the skirt, appearing and disappearing.

A crimson silk sash was tied around her slender waist, with long tassels swaying gently in the wind.

Today, she was not only dressed in gorgeous clothes, but her makeup and hairstyle were also completely different from usual.

Her face was lightly powdered, and a peach blossom ornament was lightly placed between her eyebrows.

On her originally simple and pure appearance, she gained a touch of feminine charm.

"Brother Lin?"

Seeing Lin Feng staring straight at her, Du Banruo called out again shyly.

Lin Feng then came to his senses and coughed lightly: "Prajna's outfit today is quite different from her usual attire."

Du Banruo was overjoyed upon hearing this, and twirled around gracefully, asking, "Brother Lin, do you think it looks good?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly and smiled, "Beautiful, even more beautiful than the fairies in the paintings."

Hearing the praise, Du Banruo was even more pleased. She quickly took the cakes and braised meat from his hands and led him into the courtyard.

"Brother Lin, go wash your hands first. I'll cut the braised pork, and then we can start eating."

Lin Feng followed her into the courtyard and casually asked, "Are the pies all ready?"

"Um."

Du Banruo responded from the kitchen, "I was worried Brother Lin would be hungry when he arrived, so I prepared it in advance. It's all fresh out of the pot, and it smells amazing!"

Lin Feng's gaze swept across the courtyard, which looked just like the last time he had visited.

There were just more herbs hanging under the eaves than usual.

He secretly wondered whether he should renovate Prajna's house and courtyard.

Now that he has plenty of money, it's time to improve her life.

"Brother Lin?"

Du Banruo came out carrying two plates, her large, clear eyes looking at him, and said reproachfully, "Why are you still standing there? Go wash your hands!"
