Chapter 239 The Night Storm
Having succeeded in his attack, Lin Feng no longer hid. He rose from his hiding place and fired a barrage of shots from his hunting bow!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The arrows never missed their mark, each one hitting a bandit's vital spot with pinpoint accuracy—whether it was the wrist holding the weapon, the back of the knee, or the throat.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight bandits screamed and fell to the ground, some dead and some wounded.
"There he is! Shoot him!" A bandit spotted Lin Feng and shouted in terror, pointing at him. Several arrows flew at an angle, but Lin Feng easily dodged them.
Lin Feng abandoned his bow, drew his long sword, and with lightning speed, charged directly into the bandit group!
His swordsmanship was simple and ruthless, without any fancy moves; every strike aimed directly at the weakest point in the enemy's defenses. Wherever he went, it was like a tiger among sheep; the bandits were either injured or killed upon contact.
The convoy guards, who were originally struggling in the battle, were both surprised and delighted to see such a fierce person suddenly appear. Their morale was greatly boosted, and they fought hard.
The bandits, being a disorganized mob, were immediately terrified. Someone shouted, and the remaining twenty-odd men scattered in a panic, fleeing in disarray into the depths of the mountains.
The fighting suddenly stopped.
The steward, panting heavily, strode up to Lin Feng, clasped his hands in a deep bow, and said, "Thank you so much for your righteous help! I cannot express my gratitude, but may I ask your esteemed name?"
"It was just a matter of righting wrongs, no need to be so polite." Lin Feng returned the greeting, but his gaze was fixed on the blue cloth carriage.
The spirited woman had already jumped out of the car and was directing the uninjured guards to treat their companion and bandage his wounds. Seemingly noticing Lin Feng's gaze, the woman turned around and walked over.
"I am Qin Hongyu, and I thank you for saving my life, brave man." The woman clasped her hands in a salute, her movements clean and efficient, displaying a touch of the heroic spirit of a chivalrous woman from the martial world.
"Miss Qin, you're too kind. My name is Lin Feng." Lin Feng cupped his hands in greeting.
"So it's Warrior Lin." Qin Hongyu's eyes were clear as she looked Lin Feng up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
"Brother Lin is highly skilled in martial arts and possesses extraordinary courage; Hongyu admires him greatly. May I ask where Brother Lin is headed?"
"Head north, home," Lin Feng said briefly, without elaborating.
Qin Hongyu nodded, not pressing for further questions. She then looked at the chaotic scene and the injured guards, her brows furrowing once more.
"Thank you very much, Warrior Lin. There is a town called 'Huangshi Town' thirty miles ahead, where we can rest and heal our wounds. If you don't mind, Warrior Lin, you can accompany us for a while. Once we reach the town, the Qin family will surely reward us handsomely."
"No need for such generous thanks." Lin Feng glanced at the sky and then at the direction where Su Wanyue and the others were hiding.
"We're also heading north, so it'll be good to travel together and look out for each other."
Lin Feng brought Su Wanyue and the other two over.
The group reunited and set off again.
Qin Hongyu gave her carriage to the two more seriously injured guards, and walked with Lin Feng and the others.
"Is Miss Qin transporting grain on this trip?" Lin Feng asked casually on the way.
"I suppose so." Qin Hongyu nodded, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"My family owns some businesses in the north, and this time we were escorting a shipment of grain and medicinal herbs northward. I didn't expect... judging from their demeanor, it doesn't seem like a last-minute robbery, but rather... as if they were waiting for us here on purpose."
"Has Miss Qin offended anyone?" Bai Xiaohe asked.
Qin Hongyu glanced at her and said with a wry smile, "My father inevitably has some enemies in the business world. But such ruthless methods, aimed at killing us... are probably not as simple as ordinary business competition."
The group walked slowly, and it wasn't until dusk that they arrived at Huangshi Town.
Upon entering the town, the group checked directly into the largest inn, "Yuelai Inn." Qin Fu booked the entire back courtyard and prepared food and wine to thank Lin Feng.
During the meal, Qin Hongyu changed into a lake-blue silk dress, which made her less heroic and more feminine, but her demeanor remained neat and efficient.
She personally toasted Lin Feng, expressing her sincere gratitude once again.
"Brave warrior Lin, I cannot express my gratitude enough. This cup of wine is a toast from Hongyu to you, a small token of my appreciation." Qin Hongyu raised her cup and drank it all in one gulp, without any hesitation.
"You're too kind, Miss Qin." Lin Feng also raised his cup and drank it all.
"Brother Lin is highly skilled in martial arts and has an extraordinary demeanor. May I ask where you work?" Qin Hongyu put down her wine cup and asked casually.
"Just trying to make a living in the army in the north," Lin Feng said vaguely.
Qin Hongyu's eyes brightened slightly: "So you're a military hero. No wonder you're so skilled. May I ask what rank you hold in the army, brave warrior? Perhaps, you're related to my father..."
Before she could finish speaking, a commotion suddenly erupted in the front courtyard of the inn, accompanied by shouts, curses, and the sound of objects breaking!
Immediately afterward, a guard staggered into the backyard, his face covered in blood, and cried out urgently, "Miss, Uncle Fu! Something terrible has happened! Inspector Wang from town has brought a squad of soldiers, claiming that our caravan is illegally possessing weapons and armor and is colluding with bandits. They want to arrest us!"
"What?!" Qin Fu stood up abruptly, both shocked and furious.
Qin Hongyu looked at Lin Feng, her eyes filled with apology and determination: "Brother Lin, this matter has likely implicated you. You are not a member of the Qin family, so please leave quickly before the back door is blocked, and don't get involved in this mess."
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyue and Bai Xiaohe both looked at Lin Feng with worried expressions.
Lin Feng remained seated, his expression calm and composed: "Miss Qin, if we leave now, it would only make us seem guilty."
He looked at the guard: "They only said they were seizing the goods and taking away the person in charge and the head guard? Did they name anyone specifically?"
The guard thought for a moment, then said, "Wang Kui said he wants to invite Miss Qin, Uncle Fu, and... and that 'mysterious archer' who shot the bandit leader and helped us repel the enemy today, to come back for questioning!"
As expected! Lin Feng sneered inwardly.
From the very beginning, he was included in this scheme. Was it a coincidence? Or was it because his performance during the day was too conspicuous, making him an obstacle that needed to be eliminated by those behind the scenes?
Qin Hongyu's face grew even colder: "It seems they're here for all of us. Lin, I'm sorry..."
"It's alright." Lin Feng stood up. "Let's go to the front yard together and see what this Inspector Wang is up to."
The front yard was brightly lit, yet the atmosphere was somber.
More than twenty soldiers, dressed in uniforms and carrying knives and iron rulers, blocked the entrance to the inn and the exit of the courtyard.
The leader, dressed in the blue official robes of a ninth-rank patrol inspector, was short and stocky; he was none other than Wang Kui, the patrol inspector of Huangshi Town.
Behind him stood two scholars who looked like clerks, and four or five people who looked like the town's hooligans.
Lin Feng stepped forward: "I am Lin Feng, the head of the scout team of the Northern Border Army, garrisoning Shuofeng City. I was on my way south to visit relatives and am now returning north with my family when I witnessed injustice and decided to help!"
Border troops? Scout squad leader? Shuofeng City?
Wang Kui and the two advisors behind him both changed their expressions!
The intelligence they received only stated that the Qin family's caravan was with a strange young man who was highly skilled in martial arts, but it did not say whether this young man was a border soldier or a captain with an official rank!
"You...you say you're a border army officer, do you have any proof?" Wang Kui's tone softened a bit, but he still remained defiant.
Lin Feng took out the somewhat worn bronze waist token from his pocket—he didn't take it out as it was too conspicuous, being a fifth-rank Wude General.
He flashed the badge in front of Wang Kui's eyes. "Did you see it clearly?"
