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

Lin Feng rejected Nan Muhe's offer, which made Du Banruo the happiest.

The little girl beamed with joy, glanced at the Northern Barbarian Princess Qiqige, and a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.

Do you still want to seduce Brother Lin?

Stunned, aren't you?

Qiqige's pretty face was full of disappointment, and she became even more angry after hearing Lin Feng's words.

She was furious that Lin Feng was ungrateful; a princess had shown him favor, yet Lin Feng had actually rejected her.

She was even more annoyed by Lin Feng's words, which gave her the air of someone who believed that the Northern Barbarians were doomed to fail in their attempt to conquer the Central Plains.

"Raymond Lam! What are you so smug about?"

Qiqige glared at Lin Feng and said irritably, "A thousand years ago, the Great Zhou unified the world, but a thousand years later, hasn't the Great Zhou disappeared without a trace?"

"Are Han Chinese so great? Do you Han Chinese have to rule for thousands of generations?"

"What makes you think you can look down on me, the princess?"

Lin Feng saw that Qiqi was all puffed up and looked like she was about to cry.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and bowed to Qiqige.

"Your Highness is a woman of unparalleled beauty and noble birth. It is my honor to have won your favor."

"However, Lin Feng comes from a humble background and dares not aspire to be with the princess, so he refused, not because the princess is bad."

Lin Feng's words immediately extinguished seventy percent of Qi Ge's anger.

However, Lin Feng's next sentence caused Qiqige's anger to soar again.

"Your Highness is right. The Han people cannot last forever. Perhaps one day the northern barbarians or the Liao Dynasty will invade the Central Plains and the land will be submerged."

"but……"

Raymond Lam's eyes were bright and open, like the bright moon in the sky.

"As long as Lin Feng has a breath left, as long as there are patriots among the Han people, we will continue to resist without stopping for a moment."

As he spoke, Lin Feng pointed upwards.

"Heaven above, earth below! Let us bear witness, if ten years is not enough, then fifty years; if fifty years is not enough, then a hundred years."

"If one hundred years isn't enough, then three hundred!"

"Sooner or later, we will overturn and shatter the mountain that weighs down on the Han people!"

"you!"

Qiqige's big, watery eyes were filled with surprise and annoyance.

She couldn't understand why Raymond Lam was so stubborn, like a bull.

Why do they always insist on fighting for fifty or three hundred years?

"Incomprehensible!"

Qiqige turned and left angrily, wiping her eyes, she was actually brought to tears by Lin Feng's words...

Qiqige left in a huff, and Nanmuhe also saw through Lin Feng's intentions.

"Brother Lin, my sister is straightforward and frank. You made her cry today, and she will probably hold a grudge against you for the rest of her life."

To this, Lin Feng could only smile wryly: "Princess Qiqige is a heroine among women. I cannot bear to lie to her. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Nanmuhe raised his glass and sighed.

"Actually, I guessed your intentions, Brother Lin, a long time ago, but I was still unwilling to accept it."

"I admire you from the bottom of my heart and want you to go to the Northern Barbarians to live a good life."

"Brother Lin, what I say to you tonight will always stand. If you ever face danger in the Great Qian Dynasty, you may come to my Northern Barbarian lands."

With that, Nanmuhe pounded his chest: "My door is always open to you, Brother Lin! Becoming a king or prime minister in the future is a given!"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Feng looked up and smiled: "Thank you for your high regard, Your Highness. I also have a few words to say to you."

"If Your Highness encounters danger in the Northern Barbarian lands in the future and has nowhere to go, Lin Feng is willing to take you in and ensure your safety."

Nanmuhe was slightly taken aback, then threw his head back and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Good, I knew I hadn't misjudged you, let's go!"

"Dry!"

That night, Lin Feng and Nan Mu drank heavily until they were completely drunk before they went their separate ways.

Raymond Lam spent the night at Du Banruo's house, and the two slept in each other's arms.

The next morning, after a passionate encounter, Du Banruo was exhausted and her body went limp before they finally stopped.

As the peace negotiations drew to a close, Zhenyuan City gradually regained some of its former prosperity.

On this day, Zhang Liao summoned Lin Feng to the general's mansion.

The General's Mansion, the inner quarters.

Zhang Liao leaned against the bed, covered with a thick quilt, his face slightly pale.

"General, are you alright?"

Seeing his appearance, Lin Feng was very worried: "Why do you look so pale?"

Zhang Liao waved his hand and coughed, "Ahem! Old Master Zhang has prescribed me a new medicine."

"It's just that you're not used to the new medication yet, it's nothing to worry about."

After a pause, Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Lin Feng, I have already written a memorial and sent it to the capital."

"I recommend you to His Majesty to go to Ruzhou and take up a post in the Ruzhou Military Command."

"Oh?"

Lin Feng was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Didn't the general say he would discuss this matter after going to the capital to report on his duties?"

Why was this matter mentioned in the memorial submitted in advance?

Zhang Liao gave Zhang Lu a wink, and Zhang Lu understood, hanging the prepared map on the wall.

"Cough cough..."

Zhang Liao coughed twice more and said, "The Commander-in-Chief of the Ruzhou Military Command is seriously ill and has returned to the capital to recuperate. The Deputy Commander-in-Chief even died suddenly from an acute illness. Ruzhou is currently in dire need of talent."

"The court has no one else to rely on, so I wanted you to go to Ruzhou as soon as possible to quell the chaos and establish merit."

The Ruzhou Military Commandery was the official residence of the Ruzhou Military Commander-in-Chief.

Its head, the Commander-in-Chief, was a high-ranking official of the second rank, and its deputy, the Assistant Commander-in-Chief, was a high-ranking official of the third rank.

As for the Vice Commander-in-Chief, he was a fourth-rank official.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng asked, "General, do you want me to take up any official position in Ruzhou?"

Zhang Liao smiled slightly and said, "With your abilities, it's not impossible for you to serve as the Commander-in-Chief, but you are still young."

"In the memorial, I recommended you to be the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, temporarily in charge of the military affairs of Ruzhou."

Lin Feng's breathing became somewhat rapid. His leap from deputy general of Zhenyuan City to a high-ranking official of the third rank was nothing short of meteoric.

However, Gao Sheng did not make Lin Feng lose his mind; his eyes darted around.

"General, is there some problem with Ruzhou?"

"Logically speaking, if this position were easy, I shouldn't have been chosen, right?"

Lin Feng's only connection in the court was Zhang Liao.

Lin Feng knew that Prince Qin, Li Yan, was not fond of him, and that Prince Jin, Li Zhen, only had a superficially good relationship with Lin Feng.

In reality, Lin Feng disliked Li Zhen's character and had no intention of developing a close relationship with him.

King Zhou, Li Ji, was a good man, but unfortunately, he came from a poor family and had no power base in the court.

Zhang Lu brought out a lamp and used it to illuminate the map.

He said to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, you're really clever. No wonder my general values ​​you so highly."

"The officials in the capital are all afraid to go to Ruzhou, for they'll be harmed by the cat demon."

"A cat demon?" Lin Feng frowned slightly and asked, "General, what exactly is going on?"

Zhang Liao stroked his beard and told Lin Feng about the strange things that had happened in Ruzhou recently.

For the past three months, rumors of a cat demon have been circulating among the people of Ruzhou, with many claiming to have seen the demon at night.

It is said that the cat demon is elusive and can transform into human form, specifically targeting handsome people.

The victims would be left with hundreds of cat claw marks on their bodies, a gruesome sight.

Half a month ago, the Deputy Commander of the Ruzhou Military Command died suddenly in his residence, and his death was exactly the same as that of the cat demon killing people.

To maintain its authority and avoid causing panic, the court announced that he had died suddenly from an acute illness.

The commander of Ruzhou then requested to resign from his post, citing "old age, frail health, and being bedridden."

He feared he would follow in his colleagues' footsteps and be denied a chance to retire honorably.

"A cat demon committing murder?"

Lin Feng stroked his chin and muttered, "What kind of demons and monsters are there in this world? Could it be that some evil person is disguised as a cat demon to do evil?"

Zhang Liao gave Lin Feng an appreciative look: "There are no ghosts, gods, demons, or monsters in the world; these demons and monsters all come from the human heart."

"I was right about you, but..."

After a pause, Zhang Liao continued, "The reason why officials in the court are unwilling to go to Ruzhou is not only because of the cat demon that has recently appeared there."

"In reality, the situation in Ruzhou is extremely complicated. In the last twenty years, too many of the officials who were transferred to Ruzhou have died in office."

"Forty percent of the officials who were transferred to other posts died in Ruzhou due to various accidents."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Forty percent? That much?!"
