Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba
Chapter 84 The King of Qin's Show of Power
King Qin Li Yan's voice was resounding and clear to all the soldiers who were there to greet him.
Lin Feng frowned slightly, wondering to himself: Why would the King of Qin suddenly mention him?
In an instant, all the soldiers' eyes turned to him, and Lin Feng became the focus of the entire scene.
"Your Highness!"
Despite the throbbing pain in his back, Zhang Liao strode to Lin Feng's side and introduced him, "This is Lin Feng, the commander of our army who slaughtered many Northern Barbarians and captured their commander alive!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Feng immediately stepped out of the ranks and bowed to Li Yan, saying, "Lin Feng greets Your Highness, Prince Qin."
Li Yan glanced down at him and sneered, "I have read the battle report. You killed a hundred Tartars in one battle. You are indeed quite capable."
But the next moment, he abruptly changed his tone, becoming even colder.
"But killing a few barbarian rabble is hardly a feat!"
"There are quite a few people under my command who can do that."
"You've been in the army for less than a year, yet you've already been promoted to the rank of commander of a thousand men. Does this ability match General Zhang's high regard for you?"
Lin Feng frowned even more, clearly sensing the sharpness in Li Yan's words.
Does this King of Qin seem to harbor hostility towards me?
But the two were complete strangers, so why was he targeting him like this?
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Su Mo quickly cupped his hands to defuse the situation: "Your Highness, Lin Feng has distinguished himself in battle and even saved General Zhang's life. Although he is still young and has only been in the army for a short time, his merits and abilities are more than enough to qualify him for the position of commander of a thousand..."
"More than enough?"
Before Su Mo could finish speaking, Li Yan interrupted him sharply: "There are many people in the world who are unworthy of their reputation. Their fame may be loud and clear, but their abilities may not match it."
"Even worse, some people, relying on their abilities, become arrogant and reckless, acting with impunity!"
His sharp eyes were fixed on Lin Feng: "Today I will test whether you truly possess the abilities you claim!"
Li Yan's sudden attack caught everyone present off guard.
Seeing this, Prince Jin, Li Zhen, stepped forward and softly advised, "Your Majesty, the soldiers have come from afar and are exhausted. Why don't we go into the city first for a banquet and rest? We can discuss the martial arts competition another day!"
Zhang Liao also stepped in front of Lin Feng, his tone earnest: "Your Highness, the Prince of Qin, is the bravest in the army. I, Lin Feng, am but a lowly commander under your command. I am no match for Your Highness. Please, Your Highness, show mercy."
The princes and high-ranking officials pleaded for mercy, but Li Yan was determined to take action.
He trembled slightly in his crimson spear and laughed arrogantly, "Rest assured, everyone! I will only make one move. If he can withstand it, I will acknowledge his merit!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao and Su Mo's expressions grew even more unpleasant.
Zhang Liao, in particular, was filled with doubt as to what had gotten into Li Yan that made him so determined to pick a fight with a mere commander.
Li Yan possesses superhuman strength but is also short-tempered. If he were to accidentally kill Lin Feng, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just as Zhang Liao was frantically searching for a solution, Lin Feng, whom he was protecting behind him, suddenly spoke up: "General, I am willing to take a move from His Highness the Prince of Qin!"
Zhang Liao whirled around abruptly, shouting sternly, "Lin Feng, what nonsense are you spouting! How dare you be so insolent before His Highness!"
Lin Feng met Zhang Liao's gaze with a firm attitude: "General, Lin Feng is the commander of a thousand men you chose, and I will certainly not bring shame to you or the Zhenyuan Army."
"If I can't even withstand a single shot from Your Highness, I will resign from my post as a commander and will never be a burden to the Zhenyuan Army!"
"you!"
Zhang Liao was speechless for a moment.
Li Yan made the first move, and Raymond Lam is a stubborn person who refuses to back down.
It seems that today's conflict was unavoidable.
Lin Feng knew in his heart that trouble was coming and there was no way to avoid it.
He didn't know why Li Yan was targeting him.
But rather than cowering in the dark, it's better to face it head-on.
Having said that, Zhang Liao, Li Zhen, and the others could not say anything more.
Lin Feng's tough stance earned Li Yan's secret nod of approval.
Although this kid is incredibly audacious, he does have some sense of responsibility when things get tough.
Lin Feng nodded slightly to Lü Zheng, Li Ping'an, and the others who looked concerned, indicating that they didn't need to worry.
He then slowly walked to a spot twenty paces away from Li Yan, raised his hand, and said, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, please!"
The Crimson Flame Broken Army Spear in Li Yan's hand was made of century-old red ebony wood, lacquered in vermilion and wrapped with red sharkskin.
The ancient seal script character "炎" (flame) engraved in the blood groove shone brightly under the firelight, exuding a chilling killing intent!
"Whoosh!"
Lin Feng drew his Cheng Ying sword, held his breath, and suddenly Li Yan's information popped up on his attribute panel.
[Military General: Li Yan]
【Strength: 30】
[Agility: 18]
Strength is 30 points?!
Lin Feng was secretly alarmed.
There had long been rumors in the army that Li Yan possessed superhuman strength, and now it seemed that the rumors were true.
This was the strongest person he had ever seen besides himself!
"kill!"
Li Yan squeezed the horse's belly with both legs.
Sensing its master's fighting spirit, the Crimson Steed galloped away.
The horse was incredibly fast; it covered the distance of twenty paces in the blink of an eye!
Zhang Liao, Lü Zheng, and the others felt their hearts leap into their throats, all sweating with worry for Lin Feng.
The Crimson Flame Broken Army Spear followed the galloping warhorse, leaving a bloody afterimage.
The spearhead, sharp and cold, pierced straight into Lin Feng's chest!
The force of this strike was more than a thousand pounds.
Wang Dahu, Zhang Ergou, and other close associates were terrified, fearing that Lin Feng would be pierced through the chest with a single blow.
At the critical moment, Lin Feng quickly took half a step back, his toes barely touching the ground, and slashed out diagonally from below with the Cheng Ying Sword.
This move is extremely dangerous. If there is even the slightest deviation, the spearhead attack will be unable to be deflected, and the spear will pierce straight through his chest!
"Clang!"
The sword's edge struck precisely at the tip of the Crimson Flame Broken Army Spear, causing the spearhead to deflect and almost graz Lin Feng's body.
The plates on his armor were splattered with a string of dazzling sparks from the friction of the spearhead.
Did you catch it?
Everyone who cared about Raymond Lam breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as the spear crossed his body, Li Yan twisted his wrist, and the spear suddenly swung horizontally!
"Bang!"
Under the immense force, Lin Feng was lifted into the air and flew nearly ten feet away.
He staggered to the ground but steadied himself, then bowed to Li Yan: "Your Highness, did I catch it?"
Li Yan sheathed his weapon, stared at him for a moment with a half-smile, and said calmly, "Not bad, you have some skill."
Having said that, he waved his hand: "Enter the city!"
Li Yan rode his fine horse and swaggered into the city first, with the others having no choice but to follow closely behind.
Li Pingan and Lü Zheng took the opportunity to quietly approach Lin Feng.
"Brother Lin, are you alright?"
Li Ping'an said indignantly, "The King of Qin's arrogant nature hasn't changed at all; he does whatever he wants!"
Lin Feng shook his head and said with a smile, "It's alright. His Highness Prince Qin's lance is indeed quite powerful, but his strength is still a bit lacking."
Lu Zheng glared at him, both angry and anxious: "How can you still laugh? Countless souls have died under the Qin King's Crimson Flame Spear. If anything were to happen to you, your godfather would be filled with remorse. Don't try to be brave again next time!"
Raymond Lam smiled and agreed.
In fact, what he said was true.
He was thrown ten feet away just now, but it was only on purpose.
He naturally couldn't afford to offend Li Yan, nor did he understand the reason for the other party's hostility.
The best course of action is to first make this King of Qin save face!
The Zhenyuan City Palace was originally the old residence of the Wang family.
After the three kings entered the city, they first settled down here to rest.
In Li Yan's courtyard, his personal guards were removing his armor.
He held out his hands, half-closed his eyes, and asked, "Fang Hui, what do you think of that kid surnamed Lin?"
Standing to the side was a man dressed as a scholar, with a fair complexion, short beard, and refined appearance.
Upon hearing this, Fang Hui smiled slightly: "Your martial arts skills are quite good. To be able to withstand Your Highness's attack, you also have considerable courage."
Li Yan nodded: "I only used eighty percent of my strength just now, and he was able to survive, so he certainly has some skill. As for his courage..."
He paused, then sneered, "If he weren't bold enough, would he have dared to target the descendants of the Wang family of Ruzhou, forcing them to lose everything?"
Fang Hui took out the hair ornament and gently put it on Li Yan's head, softly advising, "Your Highness wants to avenge the Wang clan, and I understand."
"However, since you have just arrived in Zhenyuan City today, you have already attacked a commander in public. If the news gets back to the capital, His Majesty may use it as an excuse to make a fuss."
Upon hearing this, Li Yan waved his hand dismissively: "So what if I know? Lin Feng is just a poor scholar who dares to insult a noble family's son; he deserves to be punished!"
"Although the Wang family of Zhenyuan City is a branch of the Wang clan of Ruzhou, they are not someone a poor boy like him can easily manipulate!"
