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

The assassination attempt on Zhang Liao ultimately ended with the complete destruction of the Green Snake Society and the dispersal of the Wang family's wealth.

The once magnificent royal residence was confiscated and sealed off by government officials.

The scene was desolate, leaving one deeply saddened.

Wang Xin led his entire family to Ruzhou, finally managing to save their lives.

Wang Ling quickly integrated into the army camp, training soldiers alongside Wang Dahu, Zhang Ergou, and others to resist the northern barbarians.

However, the day after the case was closed, Lin Feng did not immediately lead his troops into battle.

There's still one important thing he hasn't done.

At that moment, he finally remembered that strange disease that caused purple spots on the body, and he had heard of it somewhere before.

Du Banruo!

……

Inside the Jishi Medical Clinic in Zhenyuan City.

After personally examining the two patients brought by Lin Feng and Du Banruo, Mr. Zhang Jing confirmed that the "strange illness" on the old woman and the child was the same poison that the soldier had been poisoned during the search of the Green Snake Society's headquarters.

It's the same toxin!

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng frowned slightly: "Strange, Lu Qingqing once said that that kind of poisonous insect comes from the Tianshan Mountains and is extremely rare and precious."

"Moreover, only the Northern Barbarian National Preceptor knows the methods of refining and detoxifying it."

"That was originally prepared by her to kill me."

"The old woman and the children live far apart, and no one around them is infected. This poison is not contagious, so why would the Green Snake Society target them?"

"I wouldn't know that..."

Mr. Zhang Jing stroked his long, white beard and said slowly, "I have managed to control the soldier's condition with the medicine I have been using these past few days, but I have no good plan to eradicate this poison at the moment."

"You're quite capable, young lady!"

As he spoke, he picked up the prescription that Du Banruo had written for the old woman and the child, his eyes full of approval.

"Although it uses inexpensive herbs, its medicinal effects are quite remarkable."

"The combination of medicinal properties is exquisite, demonstrating remarkable talent."

Du Banruo stood beside Lin Feng, and her face flushed red instantly upon hearing the praise.

She quickly replied modestly, "Sir, you flatter me! I've only learned a little bit; I'm far from being as good as you!"

Receiving such praise from a doctor who is considered a "living saint" made her happier than during the Lunar New Year.

Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he said, "Mr. Zhang, the Northern Barbarian Guards are known for their ruthless methods. I'll have to trouble you to take good care of this rare poison."

"My sister knows some medicine and is quite clever. I'd like her to stay at the clinic and learn from you."

"If the patient's condition changes, she can notify me immediately."

"I wonder if it's convenient for you, sir?"

Mr. Zhang Jing is over fifty years old and has a keen understanding of human relationships.

He had always thought Du Banruo was intelligent and quick-witted, and intended to cultivate her.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's request, he immediately smiled and said, "What's the inconvenience? I happen to be short of a disciple, so this young girl can come to the clinic to help out. It will also make it easier for me to contact Lord Lin."

Du Banruo felt as if she were in a dream, until Lin Feng gently nudged her and whispered, "Girl, why aren't you paying your respects to your teacher?"

She suddenly realized what was happening and immediately and respectfully bowed to Zhang Jing as if she were his disciple.

After discussing some follow-up matters with Mr. Zhang Jing, Lin Feng took his leave with Du Banruo.

On the way back, Du Banruo was overjoyed and kept chattering away.

She never dreamed that she would become a disciple of Mr. Zhang Jing.

As they walked into a small alley, the two were about to say goodbye.

"From now on, come to the clinic on time every day to help out, and be careful of vehicles on the way."

Lin Feng spoke gently, carefully instructing, "I'll be going to the city wall to defend it tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come see you for a long time."

Du Banruo nodded gently, took something out of her small handbag, and said softly, "Brother Lin, this is a wedding gift for you."

She had prepared a gift for Raymond Lam's wedding that day, but the riots broke out.

When the two met again, she was almost humiliated by Hou San, but she forgot about it while still in shock.

It wasn't until today, when I brought the patient to the clinic, that I specifically brought it along.

"Oh? I'd like to see what kind of big gift you've prepared for me, little girl."

Lin Feng smiled and accepted the brocade pouch. It felt light to the touch, indicating that the contents were not large.

Upon opening it, I found a small octagonal wooden box inside.

Inside the box lay a crimson pill, its surface surrounded by a ring of pale gold patterns.

"What is this?"

Lin Feng blinked, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

"Could it be one of those aphrodisiac pills? I'm perfectly healthy, I don't need that stuff!"

Du Banruo blushed and playfully punched him.

"Brother Lin, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"This isn't some aphrodisiac; it's a life-saving elixir!"

"A life-saving elixir?"

Lin Feng lowered his head and sniffed; a medicinal fragrance wafted towards him.

"After taking this pill, it can allow someone who is exhausted to draw on their potential and continue fighting for about 25 minutes."

Du Banruo stared intently at him with wide eyes, earnestly instructing, "Brother Lin, never use this unless it's a matter of life and death!"

"Because after the effects of the medicine wear off, the person will become extremely weak."

Lin Feng wondered: How could she have such a precious elixir?

Du Banruo's family was not well-off, and he usually used inexpensive and affordable herbs for the people.

This elixir looks incredibly valuable...

Although he had many doubts, Du Banruo was unwilling to talk about it, so he didn't press the matter and could only say, "Alright, Brother Lin will remember Banruo's words!"

"Here, take these pastries and hurry back!"

Du Banruo accepted the cakes and nodded gently.

She gripped the hem of her clothes with her fingers, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "Brother Lin, I have something else to say to you... come closer."

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she was going to reveal the origin of the pill?

He bent slightly and said gently, "Okay, go ahead."

Du Banruo's beautiful eyes sparkled, her breath sweet as orchids, and she whispered, "Brother Lin, you're so kind!"

Before she could finish speaking, she quickly kissed Lin Feng on the cheek.

[Du Banruo's favorability +5]

Immediately afterwards, like a child who had stolen candy, she blushed and turned to run away.

The girl's skirt fluttered gently in the autumn breeze, carrying a wisp of fragrance, creating a joyful scene.

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to touch his cheek where he had been kissed, muttering to himself, "Was I... teased?"

He was always the one teasing others; when had he ever been the one being teased?

But then I thought about it again, Du Banruo is already sixteen years old this year.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, it was common for girls to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

It's perfectly normal for a young girl to have feelings of first love.

Lin Feng was in a lighthearted mood and returned to the military camp as if bathed in a spring breeze.

As soon as they arrived at the barracks gate, Wang Dahu, Zhang Ergou, and others came to greet them.

"Xiaofeng, you're finally back!"

Wang Dahu looked disheveled, clearly having just come down from his post on the city wall.

"Chief Guard Zhang just sent someone to tell you to go to the General's Mansion immediately!"

Lin Feng glanced at the setting sun and asked, "Zhang Lu didn't say what it was about? Also, why are you all back so early today?"

Zhang Ergou chuckled and came closer.

"The northern barbarians' attack on the city today was all bark and no bite; they retreated much earlier than usual."

"We're getting all cleaned up and ready to go to the brothel for some fun. I heard they've got a new batch of girls!"

Wang Dahu raised his hand and punched Zhang Ergou, saying irritably, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Then he turned to Lin Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, Zhang Lu's men said that distinguished guests are coming from the north today. All officers of the Zhenyuan Army, except those guarding the north city, must assemble at the general's mansion."

north?

Distinguished guest?

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the three princes were arriving tonight?

The presence of the three kings was no small matter, and the welcoming etiquette could not be lacking in the slightest.

If the second prince, who was in charge, were angered, none of the officials in the city would have a good outcome.

Lin Feng dared not delay and immediately set off for the General's Mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Zhang Lu was standing there looking around anxiously.

"Brother Zhang!" Lin Feng dismounted and called out loudly.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Lu turned around, and seeing it was him, he immediately rushed forward, grabbed him, and ran into the mansion.

"You've finally arrived!"

"Mr. Su is making arrangements to welcome the three princes. We're only missing one officer at the commander level!"
