Too many female prisoners, a special forces soldier transmigrates and marries wildly.

A crossbow bolt whizzed past his shoulder and embedded itself deeply in the tree trunk in front of him!

"An ambush!" Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He instantly drew his sword, leaned against a large tree, and sharply scanned the direction from which the crossbow bolts had come.

Suddenly, seven or eight men dressed in black, armed with swords, knives, bows, and crossbows, silently emerged from the forest behind and on both sides, surrounding him.

The leader, with a hideous scar on his face and a sinister look in his eyes, was none other than "Zhao San," the one who had been yelled at at the entrance of the warehouse earlier!

"Kid, you've been following me all this way, aren't you tired?"

Zhao San grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth. "So, which gang are you from? What are you doing following our goods?"

Lin Feng's gaze swept over these people. Their movements were swift and their positions were precise. They were definitely not ordinary bandits or warehouse guards. They were more like... well-trained private soldiers or assassins.

"I was just passing by, why are you all resorting to violence?"

Lin Feng said in a deep voice, his mind racing. Had the people at the warehouse discovered he was being followed? Or had he already been watched since he entered the town?

"Just passing by?" Zhao San sneered.

"Dressed like a mountain dweller, carrying a knife wrapped in cloth, with eyes like knives, who are you trying to fool? Confess honestly, are you from the government? Or... a spy sent by our enemies?"

Lin Feng knew there was no way to resolve this peacefully, so he stopped talking nonsense.

He took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly sharpened like knives, and his body sprang up, not to escape, but to rush straight at the person closest to him who was holding a crossbow!

The man was surprised that Lin Feng dared to take the initiative to attack even when surrounded, and hurriedly raised his crossbow.

But Lin Feng was faster; with a flash of his blade, the crossbow string snapped! At the same time, he kicked the man in the chest, sending him flying backward.

"Make your move!" Zhao Sanli shouted.

The others swarmed forward. Lin Feng weaved through the flashing blades, his swordsmanship ruthless and precise, each strike aimed directly at a vital point, never using an ounce of extra strength.

In the blink of an eye, three people had fallen to the ground, some dead and some injured.

Seeing that his men were no match for him, Zhao San's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Suddenly, he pulled out a bamboo whistle from his pocket and blew it loudly! The shrill whistle echoed through the valley!

He's calling for help!

Lin Feng was startled; he knew he had to finish this quickly! He changed his stance, making his blade even more ferocious, and attacked Zhao San with all his might.

"Swoosh!" Lin Feng deflected the ghost-headed knife with a single stroke, the tip of his blade aimed straight for the man's throat!

Zhao San was shocked and retreated, but the tip of the knife had already cut his skin, and blood was dripping from his wounds.

Just as Lin Feng was about to finish him off, hurried footsteps and shouts came from afar. Judging from the voices, there were no fewer than ten people rapidly approaching!

Reinforcements have arrived!

Without hesitation, Lin Feng forced Zhao San back with a single strike and then sped off into the depths of the mountains! He couldn't linger in the fight; the enemy outnumbered him and their strength was unknown.

"Chase him! Don't let him get away!" Zhao San roared hoarsely, clutching his neck.

Lin Feng pushed his speed to the limit, traversing the dense forest and deliberately choosing the most difficult sections, quickly leaving his pursuers some distance behind.

But he knew that the other side was familiar with the terrain and had whistle communication, so he had to get rid of them completely as soon as possible.

He remembered what Xiao Jue had mentioned about the "Huichuntang" pharmacy three miles outside the valley. That was a contact point left by Xiao Jue. Given the current situation, perhaps it was worth a try.

Having determined his direction, he turned back towards Qing Shi Town, but took a long detour, avoiding the main road.

An hour later, he quietly returned to the outskirts of Qing Shi Town and found the small "Hui Chun Tang" shop.

There was only one clerk dozing off in the pharmacy.

Lin Feng went inside, showed the bamboo token, and said in a low voice, "I'm looking for the shopkeeper, it's urgent."

Upon seeing the bamboo sign, the waiter snapped out of his daze, his expression changing slightly. He examined the sign carefully, then sized up Lin Feng before whispering, "Please wait a moment, sir," before turning and entering the back room.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a thin face and wearing a gray long gown came out.

When he saw Lin Feng, especially his tattered clothes, he frowned and waved for the waiter to stand guard at the door.

"And you are...?" the shopkeeper asked in a low voice.

"The owner of the bamboo plaque sent me," Lin Feng said.

"I was ambushed outside the town by people from Liu's warehouse. The goods they were transporting were suspicious, and they acted ruthlessly, unlike ordinary merchants."

The shopkeeper's expression turned serious: "Liu's Goods Store... what did you see them transporting?"

"The long wooden crates covered with tarpaulin were very heavy. They went north into the deep mountains, saying they were delivering 'mountain goods' to 'the old place'."

The shopkeeper was silent for a moment, then sighed, "As expected... Come with me first."

He led Lin Feng out of the pharmacy through the back door, through a small alley, and into a secluded courtyard.

After closing the door, the shopkeeper said, "I am Wu, a former subordinate of Mr. Xiao. Liu Laosan of Liu's Goods Store was also under Mr. Xiao's command in his early years, responsible for the transfer of some supplies. But in recent years, his appetite has grown bigger and bigger, and his reach has become longer and longer. He has done a lot of business behind Mr. Xiao's back. Mr. Xiao is sentimental and does not want to alert him, so he has never made a move against him. What you have run into today is probably one of their hidden agents."

"What are they transporting?" Lin Feng asked.

Shopkeeper Wu shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but it's definitely not ordinary mountain goods. It's very likely... crude iron smelted illegally, or... weapons. They have a secret route to transport these things out of the mountains, and who they sell them to is hard to say."

"Sell it to Di Rong?" Lin Feng stared at him.

Shopkeeper Wu smiled wryly: "It's not impossible."

Lin Feng recalled Xiao Jue's words about "a large tree branching out" and "being unable to be restrained," and it seemed that Liu Laosan was a typical example.

"I need a detailed map of this place, especially the layout of Liu's warehouse and the routes they might take to transport goods," Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

"Also, I'm staying temporarily in Kaoshantun, and I'm worried about my wife being alone there. Could Manager Wu perhaps send someone to keep an eye on her secretly?"

Shopkeeper Wu thought for a moment and nodded: "I can give you the map. As for Kaoshantun, I'll send a reliable person there disguised as a traveling peddler to keep an eye on things for you. But you..." He looked at Lin Feng.

"Liu Laosan suffered a loss today, so he'll definitely be more vigilant and might even investigate you. What are you planning to do?"

"Let's find out what they're doing first." Lin Feng's eyes were icy.

"If it is truly a matter of aiding the enemy and betraying the country, then I will clean up this mess for Mr. Xiao."

Shopkeeper Wu felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the chilling killing intent in the man's eyes, realizing that this man was no ordinary person.

He said no more, turned and went into the inner room to take out a rough parchment map.

"Be careful in everything you do. Liu Laosan has quite a few ruthless thugs among his men."

Lin Feng nodded, changed into a clean set of old clothes given to him by Manager Wu, and put the map away.

"Thank you. My wife is from Kaoshantun, surnamed Su, and is temporarily staying at Chen Lao Er's old house in the west of the village. I'm grateful for your help, Manager Wu."

"rest assured."
