Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba
Chapter 260 Why bother muddying the waters?
Lin Feng stood there stunned for a while before he came to his senses.
"What do you mean by that, Lord Wu? Nothing has happened yet? If something really happens, wouldn't Ruzhou be in chaos?"
Seeing that Lin Feng was agitated, Wu Xu waved his hand and said, "Lord Lin, please don't be anxious."
"I am aware of the problems in Ruzhou, and I would like to take care of them, but I do not have the ability."
Wu Xu was also frank, explaining his reasoning: "The fact that Ruzhou has been able to maintain its current situation is the result of a multi-party game."
"It's like a bowl of water, the surface is calm."
"If you don't do anything, the water will remain calm forever. Why stir it up?"
Wu Xu had already had his edges smoothed out by Ruzhou and only wanted to maintain the status quo.
Seeing this, Lin Feng leaned forward slightly: "If given the chance, Lord Wu, do you really not want to rectify the Buddhist and Taoist practices in Ruzhou?"
Wu Xu shook his head, pouring cold water on Lin Feng's hopes: "An opportunity? When does Lord Lin think the opportunity will come?"
"I am getting old. I will be transferred from Ruzhou in a few years and return to my hometown to retire."
"I'm afraid I won't get the chance to reorganize Ruzhou."
Lin Feng's gaze was intense, and he persisted relentlessly: "How does Lord Wu know the opportunity won't return?"
"What if I could give Lord Wu a good opportunity to reform Buddhism and Taoism?"
"You?" Wu Xu looked at Lin Feng and couldn't help but laugh.
"Lord Lin, it's good that young people are energetic, but they shouldn't be arrogant."
"You've only been in Ruzhou for a short time, what solutions could you possibly have?"
Lin Feng's lips curled slightly upward: "Since I said I have it, I definitely do. But... does Lord Wu dare to take a gamble with me and revitalize the stagnant waters of Ruzhou?"
Wu Xu's languid demeanor gradually vanished. He sized up Lin Feng and remained silent for a long time before saying, "You, tell me."
……
About half an hour later, Lin Feng left Wu Xu's residence.
His face didn't show any particular expression, but his steps became a little lighter.
That night, at the Stone Wall Forest.
Raymond Lam, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe with cloud patterns and wearing a large fox fur cloak, stood in front of the mural "Bodhisattva Transformation".
The night air was crisp and cold. Lin Feng stared intently at the two bodhisattvas on the mural, remaining motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng heard a clear, crisp sound.
"Young Master!"
Lin Feng turned his head and saw Anuka carrying a small bundle and walking this way.
Today she changed into a moon-white, high-waisted, front-opening ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and her makeup was also changed to that of a Han Chinese woman, making her appear even more gentle and elegant.
"You've arrived."
Lin Feng smiled slightly and looked at Anuka.
Anuka blushed slightly under Lin Feng's gaze: "Since I was coming to see you, young master, I chose a beautiful dress. What do you think, young master?"
Raymond Lam nodded slightly: "Miss Anuka is beautiful, so she looks good in anything."
Anuka's eyes sparkled, as if they held countless girlish secrets.
"On my way here, I was worried that you wouldn't keep your appointment tonight!"
"I am merely a Loulan person sold to a wealthy merchant, while you, sir, are a high-ranking official of Ruzhou..."
Lin Feng reached into his sleeve and pulled out something: "You left something behind last night, how could I not return it to you?"
"My sachet?" Anuka exclaimed, both surprised and delighted. "This is a sachet my mother sewed for me. I've been looking for it for so long, and it's here with you, young master!"
Anuka's eyes reddened with joy.
Lin Feng returned the sachet to Anuka and then asked, "Alright, it's back to its rightful owner. Why did you seek me out tonight, young lady?"
Anuka suddenly realized what was happening and tapped her head: "Look at my memory, I got so excited I forgot to talk about the important matter."
Anuka immediately untied the small bundle.
The moment she untied the bundle, Lin Feng quietly placed his hand on his lower back, using the cloak as cover.
"Young master, you are a high-ranking official of Ruzhou, surely you have a way to send a message to Jingjue City?"
Anuka, completely oblivious to Lin Feng's subtle actions, continued, "I've been making a living from that wealthy businessman in the capital for the past six months and have saved up a little money."
"This is a 500-tael silver note, which can be exchanged within the Great Qian Dynasty."
"There are also some gold and silver jewelry and gemstones, which together can amount to a thousand taels of silver."
Anuka knew them all like the back of her hand, and specially selected a pomegranate-shaped hairpin.
"My mother loves pomegranates the most. Please write to her and tell her that I specially chose these for her."
Hearing this, Lin Feng's heart softened.
He bent down, looked at the contents of Anuka's small bundle, and said, "You've given all your savings to your family. How will you live from now on?"
Anuka stopped fiddling with her hairpins, looked up, and a smile appeared on her pretty face.
"I'm fine. He... is very rich and treats me well."
"Once I marry him, I'll have plenty of money to spend."
Lin Feng's nose felt a little sore, and the sound of the slap from last night echoed in his mind.
Although Anuka covered it with makeup, her right cheek was still slightly red and swollen.
"I will have your package delivered to Jingjue City by the post station."
"Just tell me the address."
Seeing that Lin Feng had agreed, Anuka's smile finally became more genuine.
She retied the small bundle and handed it to Lin Feng.
"I've already written the address and put it inside."
"Young master, there is one more thing I want to give you."
Lin Feng carried the small bundle, but found it extremely heavy.
"Oh? What is it?"
Anuka took out a beautiful, translucent jade from her bosom.
"Young Master, I have no way to repay you for sending these things back to me."
"This is a beautiful piece of jade that I really like. I'm giving it to you as a token of my gratitude. Please don't find it too cheap."
Anuka presented the jade with both hands. Lin Feng hesitated for a moment before accepting it, saying, "Thank you so much, Miss Anuka!"
Anuka bit her red lips and suddenly took a step forward, a delicate fragrance wafting towards her.
"Young master, could you... take Anuka with you?"
Anuka hugged Raymond Lam's waist, her voice trembling with tears.
Anuka's sudden intimacy caused Lin Feng to stiffen slightly.
"Anuka doesn't want to go back to the capital; she doesn't like anything there."
"I want to stay in Ruzhou. It's right next to the Western Regions, right next to my home."
Tears streamed down Anuka's face, wetting Lin Feng's clothes.
"Anuka, I am already married."
Lin Feng sighed softly: "If you disappear at Thousand Buddha Temple, how could that wealthy businessman let it go? If you stay by my side, you'll be discovered sooner or later..."
Anuka raised her head, tears streaming down her face.
"Anuka is willing to remain the prince's shadow forever, without ever seeing any outsiders."
"My lord, Anuka... is still a virgin, please don't despise me, okay?"
The girl's sorrowful weeping was heartbreaking; for a moment, Raymond Lam's heart ached.
But he had not lost his mind.
He took a deep breath and said, "If I go to the capital in the future, I will definitely come to find you. If you are not doing well at that time, I will find a way to give you your freedom."
The light in Anuka's eyes gradually dimmed.
She looked at Lin Feng with disappointment, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
The fragrance, the cool touch, and the trembling of the girl's body were intoxicating.
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment before responding to Anuka's enthusiasm, but the next moment he suddenly felt a pain in his lips.
A sweet, metallic taste filled her mouth, and she bit his lip until it bled!
"Anuka will never forget the young master's kindness."
"Young master, take care!"
Anuka lost her last lifeline and left dejectedly.
Looking at the girl's staggering and frail figure, Lin Feng slightly raised his hand, but ultimately did not say a word.
