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

The girl's gaze was firm, and a few glistening tears still clung to her cheeks. Her frail figure exuded an indomitable spirit.

Looking at this girl who seemed as delicate as a white flower yet possessed a strong spirit, Lin Feng softly asked, "Aren't you afraid of hardship? Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Du Banruo raised her eyes and asked in return, her tone clear but without a trace of fear: "When you joined the army to kill the northern barbarians, weren't you afraid of hardship and danger?"

What a gentle yet strong-willed girl!

Although Du Banruo's outward appearance is somewhat similar to Su Wan'er's, their inner personalities are completely different.

A gentle and graceful woman.

A fierce plum blossom in the cold.

Lin Feng chuckled at her question, and his tone softened.

"Okay, I'll keep in mind that you want to join the army as a military doctor."

"But you're still young, so focus on honing your medical skills first."

He paused, then promised, "In two years, when you've grown a bit more, I'll definitely find a way to get you enlisted, okay?"

Du Banruo's eyes instantly lit up with intense joy as she looked at him, her gaze sparkling: "Is what you said true, General?"

Lin Feng nodded slightly, gently tapped her nose with his fingertip, and said in a gentle tone, "Of course it's true! Also, don't keep calling me 'Military Master.' My name is Lin Feng, so you can call me Brother Lin from now on."

"Lin Feng? You are...?"

Du Banruo's eyes widened suddenly, her face filled with shock. "You're the 'Barbarian Slayer' Lin Feng that storytellers talk about, the one who killed thousands of Northern Barbarians and could tear tigers and leopards apart alive?"

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, secretly thinking: These storytellers actually gave him such a vulgar nickname, it's really unpleasant.

He coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, and said with feigned ease, "It is indeed me! But the rumors are exaggerated. I have never torn apart any Tartars. I have only killed a few enemy soldiers. I am grateful to General Zhang for his kindness in appointing me as a centurion."

[Du Banruo's favorability +6]

Looking at the adoring light that instantly ignited in Du Banruo's eyes, she resembled a little fan meeting her idol.

She busied herself, brewing warm tea and taking out her family's treasured cakes to entertain Lin Feng.

The two then chatted for about half an hour.

With someone by her side, Du Banruo's grief over the loss of her brother dissipated somewhat.

Before parting, Raymond Lam left her all the food and belongings he had bought with him.

A packet of braised meat, a packet of new tea, ten taels of silver, and the most fashionable "dripping pastry" in Zhenyuan City at the time.

"Prajna, from now on, don't try to handle things alone."

Lin Feng stood at the courtyard gate and gave a few words of advice, his tone tinged with concern: "If anyone dares to bully you again, come to the military camp and find me. Brother Lin will teach them a lesson for you."

Du Banruo nodded obediently, her eyes crinkling with joy: "I'll remember, Brother Lin. Go ahead and be careful on your journey."

The two waved goodbye, and Du Banruo only sighed softly after Lin Feng's figure completely disappeared at the end of Jiying Lane.

A sense of melancholy crept into his eyes as he slowly closed the courtyard gate…

As night fell and the city lights came on, the nightscape of Zhenyuan was bathed in a warm glow.

Yichun Courtyard was always the noisiest place on the whole street. The lobby on the first floor was filled with the pleasant sounds of silk and bamboo instruments and the laughter of women.

"Madam! Madam!"

Wang Dahu, dressed in a brand-new platoon leader uniform, swaggered in, his tone arrogant.

The madam, Yunniang, had just finished entertaining two guests when she heard the noise and turned around. Seeing that it was them, her still charming face instantly lit up with a fawning smile, and she swayed her hips as she quickly came to greet them.

"Oh! Tiger Master, Dog Master, you've finally arrived! You are all my distinguished guests!"

Last night, General Zhang at the General's Mansion promoted Lin Feng to the rank of centurion, and his subordinates also rose in rank.

The news had already spread throughout the city.

Everyone knew that Lin Feng's rise to prominence was a foregone conclusion, which is why Yun Niang was exceptionally attentive to them.

Wang Dahu and Zhang Ergou never stopped smiling, their eyes darting around the approaching girl, looking like they couldn't contain themselves.

Zhang Ergou patted his chest and said, "Madam, I've got plenty of military merit here, and plenty of money too! Bring out all the good girls from the second floor, we want to choose!"

"no problem!"

Yunniang smiled and agreed, her gaze sweeping over the group's backs, her eyes lighting up when she caught sight of Lin Feng.

She quickly stepped forward, her tone becoming even more respectful: "Master Lin has arrived too? Please follow me to the third floor. Miss Yuwei specifically instructed that she has been waiting for you in your room!"

Lin Feng smiled faintly: "No rush, let's go with them to the second floor to choose girls first."

Yunniang immediately chimed in with a charming laugh, "Very well, very well! Master Lin's brother is my honored guest. Please come upstairs!"

The second floor was still bustling, with a group of beautiful young women coming forward one after another, making Li Ke's eyes widen in amazement.

Wang Dahu, Zhang Ergou, and Li Ke each chose their favorite girls and went to their respective rooms to enjoy themselves.

Only Wang Tu, with his shifty eyes, approached Yun Niang and whispered a few words in her ear, his expression ambiguous and urgent.

Yunniang rolled her eyes at him, her tone slightly reproachful: "You're so impatient! Fine, Young Master Wang, go wait at the usual spot. I'll come find you as soon as I'm done with this."

Seeing this, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. Wang Tu's taste was as unique as ever.

At the far end of the third floor, in front of the room of the courtesan Song Yuwei, the maid Cherry was already waiting.

Upon seeing Lin Feng approach, she quickly curtsied and greeted him, "Lord Lin!"

Lin Feng glanced into the room and asked softly, "Is Yuwei available right now?"

Cherry nodded in agreement, "The young lady said that if Lord Lin arrives, he can come straight inside."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, a strange sense of nervousness rising in his heart.

Tonight is of great significance to him.

He and Song Yuwei were mutually in love, and if things went smoothly, they would spend a night together and enjoy each other's company.

Upon entering, the interior decoration remains elegant and serene.

However, all the painted lanterns were replaced with light pink ones, and the hazy, soft light spread out, wrapping the surrounding scenery in an ambiguous veil.

Lin Feng walked around the carved screen and looked up.

"Yuwei?"

He called out, but saw no sign of the beauty; only a table of exquisite dishes was laid out on the table.

Three-delicacy bamboo shoot fried quail, sea bass soup, roast duck, chicken stew with mushrooms...

The aroma was enticing, clearly indicating that it had been carefully prepared.

When he called out again and still received no response, he stepped into the inner room.

The beaded curtain swayed gently, and a graceful figure slowly emerged from the depths of the inner room.

Through layers of beads, it was hazy and difficult to discern.

"Lin Lang is here?"

Looking through the beaded curtain, Lin Feng saw Song Yuwei dressed in white, her figure slender and graceful, appearing and disappearing in the mist.

He nodded and replied, "I wanted to come see you last night, but unfortunately I got drunk at the General's Mansion and was delayed."

Song Yuwei chuckled softly as footsteps drew closer, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness as it drifted through the beaded curtain.

"Knowing that Lin Lang was coming, I specially prepared a dance for him."

"Would Lin Lang be willing to play the zither in harmony and watch me dance?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a jade-like arm, as white as lotus root, slowly emerged from behind the beaded curtain.

She was only wearing a thin white gauze dress!
