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

Zhenyuan City, outside the south city wall.

The vast procession emerged from the city gate and stretched to the far distance, seemingly endless.

When King Li Yan of Qin returned to the capital, half of the elite troops who had accompanied him to Zhenyuan City were also withdrawn.

Military officers including the Prince of Jin, the Prince of Zhou, and Zhang Liao accompanied him back to the capital to report on their duties.

Watching the procession gradually disappear into the distance, Lin Feng felt inexplicably melancholy.

"well……"

He sighed and muttered to himself, "We should go too."

Behind Lin Feng, Wang Ling asked softly, "My lord, you were promoted to Ruzhou, why do you seem unhappy?"

Lin Feng's gaze remained fixed on the carriage Zhang Liao was riding in.

"I've been in Zhenyuan City since I joined the army, and I've worked my way up to where I am today."

"Zhenyuan City is like home to me, even if it's not home."

As Lin Feng spoke, he looked back at Zhenyuan City.

"People I knew have left or scattered, and it's really a bit melancholy."

Upon hearing this, Wan Qian smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Feng, saying, "My lord, Zhenyuan City is good, but Ruzhou is not bad either!"

"I've heard that Ruzhou is a prosperous commercial center, and that gold is everywhere."

"Once we get to Ruzhou, I'll make you a fortune!"

Wan Qian was the most excited among Lin Feng's trusted confidants, eager to make a big splash.

Wang Dahu teased Wan Qian, "Wan Qian, with your skills, can you even compare to the merchants of Ruzhou? Don't end up losing everything!"

Wan Qian patted his chest, very confident.

"Uncle Tiger, you underestimate me."

"Don't you know how capable I am of making money? Besides, with powerful backers, how could I possibly lose money?"

The returning caravan gradually moved further and further away until Zhang Liao's carriage completely disappeared from sight.

Lin Feng then led everyone back to the city.

Over the next few days, Lin Feng and the rest of the military prepared their gear and checked their supplies.

After everything was ready, Lin Feng set off westward.

A cold wind was blowing and snowflakes were dancing in the air.

The weather was bad on the day Raymond Lam left.

Mr. Zhang Jing, Du Banruo, and Xiao Wu all went out of the city to see him off.

"Mr. Zhang, you are both kind-hearted and skilled in medicine."

"My sister is in Zhenyuan City. Please take good care of her."

Lin Feng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Zhang Jing, offering his instructions.

"Lord Lin, you're too kind!"

Zhang Jing supported Lin Feng's arms and said with a smile, "Prajna is my last disciple, how could I not take good care of her?"

"However, there is something I would like to ask for your help with, sir."

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then his expression turned serious: "Please speak, Mr. Zhang. I will do my best."

Zhang Jing took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lin Feng: "Lord Lin has gone to Ruzhou. Could you please find me a medicine called Centipede Vine?"

"Not too many, ten will suffice."

Centipede vine?

Lin Feng took the paper and looked at it. He saw that the vines drawn on the paper had twisted and gnarled roots.

At first glance, it looks like a centipede, which is somewhat frightening.

"Centipede vine is a medicinal herb unique to Ruzhou. I recently consulted ancient books and discovered that this centipede vine may be able to neutralize the poison of the three people in the city who have been poisoned by a strange poison."

"Although the three of them are living normal lives without any problems, it's never a good thing to have toxins in your bodies."

"If I can detoxify them, my wish will be fulfilled."

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Mr. Zhang is kind and righteous, I, Lin Feng, will take care of this matter."

After speaking with Zhang Jing, Lin Feng turned his gaze to Du Banruo.

Du Banruo was dressed in plain clothes today, looking as delicate as a little white flower.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she held back her tears.

"Prajna, Brother Lin is gone. Please take good care of yourself."

Lin Feng stroked Du Banruo's face and whispered his instructions.

"Um."

Du Banruo nodded, biting her lip, "Brother Lin, Banruo will study medicine diligently, and I will come to find you when I have mastered it."

Du Banruo and Lin Feng spent every night together for the past two days.

Seeing that her beloved was about to leave, Du Banruo was extremely reluctant to part with him.

"it is good."

Lin Feng gently hugged Du Banruo and patted her back.

"Once you go to Ruzhou, Brother Lin will open a clinic for you."

"There, Prajna can put his skills to use and practice medicine to help the world."

After spending a brief moment with Du Banruo, Lin Feng had to say goodbye to them.

"Take care, everyone!"

After saying that, Lin Feng mounted his horse.

The majestic steed Hu Zi is now equipped with a fine saddle and looks very imposing.

"drive!"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's voice, Tiger reared up and ran away.

Du Banruo couldn't help but take two steps forward, her lips twitching slightly.

She didn't say a word, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Brother Lin, take care..."

In the winter of the thirtieth year of the Tianqi reign, Lin Feng embarked on his journey westward.

The journey from Youzhou to Ruzhou was long.

First, you need to start from Zhenyuan City and head southwest to Yunzhou.

Secondly, from Yunzhou, one travels through the "Yunshan Corridor" to Ruzhou.

The Yunshan Corridor is located in the Yunshan Mountains, which are among the largest mountain ranges in northern China.

It stretches for two hundred miles from north to south, spanning the three prefectures of You, Yun, and Ru.

The vastness of Yunshan Mountain is breathtaking, and the mountain is home to countless exotic flowers, rare herbs, and precious birds and beasts.

Back then, the Great Qian Dynasty spent ten years building the Yunshan Corridor to open up Yunshan.

No fewer than two thousand laborers died from exhaustion while building the road, which shows how difficult the construction of this road was.

The end of the thirtieth year of the Tianqi reign.

Clouds and mountains, light snow.

The further you go into Ruzhou, the warmer the weather becomes.

Although there was light snow, it wasn't as cold as Youzhou.

"General!"

Chen Pi, dressed in leather armor and military uniform, jogged over from the front with a broad smile on his face.

"We've found out everything. There's a small town about two miles ahead."

"We can set up camp outside town tonight!"

Chen Pi, a "leisurely person" in the black market of Zhenyuan City, has been determined to be associated with Lin Feng ever since he met Lin Feng there.

She sent him news about the ore and tried every trick in the book to please Lin Feng.

Chen Pi has a lively eye and is experienced in dealing with all sorts of people.

Lin Feng then recruited Chen Pi into the army, making him a centurion in the scout battalion, specifically to gather intelligence.

Chen Pi did not disappoint Lin Feng. Along the way, he led the scout team to thoroughly investigate the future.

Yunshan Corridor, Longgu Town.

The town center was unusually lively at this moment.

A group of townspeople gathered together, wearing masks of aquatic creatures such as fish, shrimp, and crab, and danced continuously.

There were also townspeople playing gongs and drums nearby.

An elderly man at the head of the group, wearing a square-shaped mask, held up a prayer and shouted loudly.

"We humbly submit that the universe is bright and clear, and creation is profound and mysterious. The Dragon God is virtuous and resides in the eight directions."

"Today, the people of Longgu Town are devoutly offering incense."

"Because of the evil dragon's rampage, the earth cracked and trees collapsed. It devoured livestock and people, and thousands of villages wept in despair."

"The ravages rage day and night, causing widespread panic. We implore the Dragon King to show mercy."

"It stirs up clouds and mist, and flashes of lightning. It bestows three feet of sweet rain, and rids the evil dragon of its foul wind."

"The Dragon God manifests his power, saving countless people from injury and death. If his boundless grace is widely bestowed, the people will enjoy happiness and prosperity."

"We carefully prepare sacrificial offerings and offer them at the Dragon Pool."

"May you enjoy this feast!"

The rest of the people in Longgu Town raised their hands and shouted in unison.

"May you enjoy this feast!"

Amidst the calls of the crowd, the old man raised the dragon-head lamp in his hand and looked up at the sky.

Just then, a young town resident ran over.

"Mayor!"

"Mayor!!!"

His voice was particularly harsh, which displeased the old man.

"Er Gouzi, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"You've disturbed the Dragon God's listening; the Dragon God is enraged. Can you handle the consequences, brat?"

The young man shrank his neck, looking quite aggrieved.

"Mayor, a lot of soldiers have come from outside the town, there must be two thousand of them."

"They want you to go see them!"

Ouch?

Upon hearing this, the old man's heart tightened. In these chaotic times, with two thousand people of unknown character suddenly appearing, the old man dared not be negligent.

"You continue your sacrifices here; I'll go take a look."

The old man hadn't even had time to take off his sacrificial robes before leading several elders from the town to greet them outside the town.
