Chapter 158 My Lord, Will You Marry Me?
Upon entering the cramped little house, the girl pointed to the other two futons and sat down first.
"May I ask your name?"
Lin Feng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "The rules of the black market are that we only conduct transactions and do not ask for names. You should understand that, young lady."
"Know!"
The girl patted the wooden box in her hand, but said with a hint of force, "But this treasure is mine. If you want to buy it, you have to follow my rules!"
"If you are unwilling, please leave, sir!"
Feng Qing found her increasingly unpleasant and was about to lose her temper when Lin Feng gently held her hand down.
"Very well! I am Lin Feng, the deputy general of the Zhenyuan Army!"
A hint of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, and she slowly sat up straighter from her previous languid posture.
Her lips twitched slightly as she said softly, "I am Xia Bing, a native of Ruzhou."
"Miss Xia, now that you know my name, why don't you tell me how much this amber is?"
Lin Feng was determined to buy it and secretly resolved to agree to whatever Xia Bing asked, as long as it was within his ability.
Xia Bing stared at Lin Feng for a moment, then suddenly asked a startling question: "My lord, will you marry me?"
Lin Feng's smile froze instantly. He never expected that Chen Pi would guess it right.
This "ugly girl" really needs to find someone to marry.
"No!"
Before Lin Feng could even speak, Feng Qing had already exploded, angrily shouting, "You toad trying to eat swan meat! You think you can get Lin Feng to marry you with just a broken rock? Dream on!"
Xia Bing glanced at Feng Qing with a detached look, her tone indifferent: "I won't compete with you for him. You and I can serve our husband together..."
"Shameless! Who wants to share a husband with you?"
Feng Qing's face flushed crimson with rage, and she bared her teeth and claws, ready to pounce on Xia Bing and tear her mouth apart: "I'll rip your mouth apart!"
"Miss Feng, calm down."
Lin Feng hurriedly grabbed Feng Qing's waist and managed to persuade her to stop, then told her to go outside and wait.
"Miss Xia Bing, I am already married. It is absurd for us to bring up marriage so soon after we met."
Lin Feng sat down again and patiently persuaded, "You can name any conditions, such as gold, silver, martial arts manuals, or anything else. As long as I, Lin Feng, can do it, I will not refuse."
"Marriage is the only exception!"
Xia Bing's eyes grew colder as she stared intently at Lin Feng. Her eyes, though young and beautiful, held a chilling coldness that cut to the bone: "Then, can you kill someone for me?"
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback: "Kill who?"
Xia Bing licked her bright red lips and said, word by word, "Duan Lang."
"Duan Lang?" Lin Feng frowned. "Who is this person? I've never heard of such a person in Zhenyuan City."
Xia Bing stared intently at Lin Feng and said coldly, "He is a notorious bandit who roams freely in Ruzhou and the Western Regions. Even the Ruzhou Prefecture can't do anything to him."
"Lord Lin, could you kill him for me?"
The urgency in her eyes was almost overflowing.
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Miss Xia, please wait a moment."
He walked to the door and called Feng Qing, who had just gone out, back.
"Why did you call me back? Is she bothering you again?"
Feng Qing, still full of hostility, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let me tell you, she deserves a beating! I know you don't hit women, leave this to me!"
Lin Feng was both amused and exasperated. He quickly stopped her and told her about Xia Bing's request for him to kill Duan Lang, then turned to Feng Qing for confirmation.
"Of course I've heard of Duan Lang."
Feng Qing suppressed her anger and explained, "My father said that Duan Lang commands 5,000 troops and has been running rampant in western Ruzhou and eastern Western Regions for more than ten years. He is extremely ruthless."
"All the caravans that come and go have to be mindful of his mood. Every year, he collects over 100,000 taels of silver just for tolls."
As she spoke, she looked Xia Bing up and down curiously: "What deep-seated hatred do you have for him that makes you want him dead?"
Xia Bing's face instantly turned to sorrow, and her voice choked with sobs: "My family was originally merchants in Ruzhou. My father was oppressed by them and had to pay heavy tolls every year."
"Business was dismal last year, and my father refused to pay any more, so he was targeted by Duan Lang's men."
"My entire family of more than ten people was killed by Duan Lang's men."
"I was lucky to survive because I was away learning a trade at the time."
Xia Bing looked up, her face already streaked with tears.
"I want revenge, revenge for my parents, my brothers and sisters."
"But Duan Lang has several thousand soldiers. I'm afraid I'll never be able to kill him in my entire life."
"All I have left is this stone and myself. I'm willing to give anything as long as Lord Lin agrees!"
Feng Qing quietly moved closer to Lin Feng, her tone tinged with impatience: "Miss Xia, although your background is pitiful, you think you can get Lin Feng to kill Duan Lang with just a stone? That's a rather shrewd deal."
"Duan Lang is a notorious bandit. The Western Regions and Ruzhou Prefecture have been unable to eradicate him for so many years. Do you expect Lin Feng to kill him?"
The light in Xia Bing's eyes dimmed little by little, and she slowly lowered her head, her face full of despair.
Just then, Lin Feng spoke up: "Miss Xia, I can agree to your conditions."
He gently patted Feng Qing's shoulder and quietly shielded her behind him.
"You...you really want to?"
A glimmer of light suddenly ignited in Xia Bing's lifeless eyes, and her voice trembled.
Lin Feng smiled slightly: "I promise you, if we ever reach Ruzhou, I will do my utmost to wipe out the bandits, especially Duan Lang's gang."
"But I can't guarantee I can kill him; I can only do my best."
"If you agree, give me the amber stone and from now on, stay by my side as my servant. What do you say?"
Xia Bing's chest heaved violently. These past few days, she had traveled all the way to Zhenyuan City, enduring countless hardships, and had long since given up hope of revenge.
Lin Feng's offer was very realistic; he didn't make any boastful promises, but it gave her a glimmer of hope in her desperate situation.
"I, Xia Bing, offer this amber stone to serve Lord Lin!"
Xia Bing held the wooden box in both hands and immediately bowed deeply to Lin Feng.
"Alright, no need for formalities." Lin Feng waved his hand. "Come with me to change your clothes and freshen up."
Chen Pi had been waiting outside, and when he saw Lin Feng leading Xia Bing out, he immediately knew that the deal was done.
He quickly stepped forward with a smile: "Sir, how's business? Would you like to take a look at anything else? I'll take you there right away."
Lin Feng smiled faintly: "Keep an eye on the black market for me. If any suitable ores for forging weapons appear, notify me immediately. Just go to the military camp and mention my name, Lin Feng."
"Raymond Lam?!"
Upon hearing this name, Chen Pi was immediately shocked and quickly took the tael of silver from his belt and returned it with both hands.
"Sir, why didn't you say so sooner?"
"I absolutely cannot accept this money!"
"You are the great hero who saved Zhenyuan City. If I, Chen Pi, were to accept your money, would I still be human?"
He refused to accept it no matter what, saying it was his honor to be able to do something for Raymond Lam.
It will be a source of great pride to talk about it on the black market later.
During his trip to the black market, Lin Feng not only remembered the clever Chen Pi, but also brought back an "ugly girl".
Lin Feng usually stayed in the military camp and it was inconvenient for him to have women with him, so he first led Xia Bing to where Feng Qing was staying and asked Feng Qing to find her two sets of clothes.
When Xia Bing finished washing up, changed into new clothes, and came out of the house, Feng Qing's eyes widened instantly.
Xia Bing wore a light red cross-collar brocade dress, simple in style yet elegant.
Her complexion was fair and rosy, her features delicate and petite, and her eyes and brows revealed a lively and cunning nature.
She was neither as spirited as Feng Qing, nor as delicate and refined as Su Wan'er.
Instead, it resembles a little fox active in the mountains and forests.
She is lively and has a touch of chivalry; she is clearly a beauty that is one in a hundred!
