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

In less than three rounds, seven corpses lay strewn about, none alive.

Lin Feng sheathed his sword and rushed to the crevice. Looking at the two bloodied and mangled girls before him, his brow furrowed, and his eyes flashed with even more murderous intent. These people were so ruthless; they didn't even spare two women.

Lin Feng saw that their tattered clothes were soaked in blood and stuck tightly to their wounds. If they were not treated immediately, the wounds would fester and they would surely die.

"The clothes are soaked in blood; we have to cut them open to clean the wound," Lin Feng said in a low voice. "It might hurt, but bear with it."

Ling Shuang closed her eyes, tears mingling with blood as they streamed down her face, and nodded slightly. On the verge of life and death, her sense of shame had long been overwhelmed by the excruciating pain.

"Don't...don't leave us..." Ling Xue murmured in a daze.

Lin Feng tore open their tattered clothes. When the cool air touched their skin, Ling Shuang's body trembled violently. The gruesome wound on her chest was exposed, a shocking sight. Ling Xue's upper thigh wound was even more horrifying, blood flowing down her fair skin.

Lin Feng carefully sprinkled the medicinal powder onto the wound.

The intense pain made Ling Xue cry out in pain, her body trembling violently. Instinctively, she curled up in Lin Feng's arms, seeking warmth and protection.

Although Ling Shuang endured it, her intact hand gripped Lin Feng's clothes tightly. The dependence of grasping at a straw on the verge of death made these two lonely sisters develop an almost religious reliance on this man who had only recently entered their lives.

The medicine powder was sprinkled on, and the bleeding finally stopped.

Lin Feng took off his outer robe and wrapped it around the two women, then carried them on his back, one on each side.

"Go to sleep." He carried the two of them on his back, the Broken Mountain Blade dragging on the ground with a grating scraping sound. "With me here, no one will be able to touch a hair on your heads again."

He carried two seriously injured girls on his back, walking through the dim forest, his shadow stretched long by the setting sun, like a moving statue.

The scouts rode swiftly back to Nanshan Villa with news of the complete annihilation of the men in black.

In the secret room, Prince Lin smashed the teacup in his hand.

"Useless!" Prince Lin's face twisted in disgust, all traces of his former refinement gone. "Dozens of shadow guards couldn't even kill two girls, and they were all defeated by Lin Feng!"

He stared intently at the dragon vein diagram on the table, a flicker of panic in his eyes. Lin Feng knew, and the Ling sisters knew too. There couldn't be more people in the world who knew the secret of this diagram.

Cangyun Pass, General's Mansion.

Bai Xiaohe frowned and said, "Commander, Prince Lin is very powerful. If he joins forces with the royal family to launch an attack, and there are internal collaborators within the border army, Cangyun Pass may become the target of everyone's attacks."

"What are you afraid of?" Lin Feng said nonchalantly. "Su Xuanji, go spread the word that Cangyun Pass has discovered the dragon vein map of the previous dynasty, which is an auspicious omen for the country and will soon be sent to the capital to be presented to His Majesty."

Su Xuanji exclaimed in surprise, "Commander, isn't this just asking for trouble?"

"I also want to see just how many people will jump out because of this picture."

"At the same time, find a way to leak this information to Prince Jing's political enemies, saying that Prince Jing is secretly possessing a dragon vein map and has ulterior motives."

a few days later.

The candlelight cast Lin Feng's shadow on the wall, making it long, thin, and solitary.

"Commander," Su Xuanji pointed to the map on the table, "the message has been released in two directions as you wished. One direction is overt, saying that Cangyun Pass has seized the auspicious 'Dragon Vein Map' from the previous dynasty, which will soon be presented to the court; the other direction is covert, spreading rumors through several secret channels we control that Prince Lin is hiding the Dragon Vein Map and plotting something treacherous."

"How was the result?" Lin Feng stroked the cold hilt of the Broken Mountain Blade.

"There has been no official response from the capital regarding the news, but the Privy Council has dispatched personnel to 'verify' it as quickly as possible," Xie Wanqing interjected. "The undercurrents, however, are quite intense. Several spies within Prince Lin's fiefdom have been unusually active recently, seemingly investigating the source of the information, while also... intensifying their contact with some border generals who have long been loyal to Prince Lin."

"As expected." Lin Feng sneered. "The auspicious omens presented to the Emperor are an open scheme, forcing them to take action; the rumors pointing to Prince Lin are a provocation, causing internal strife. Now, let's see who loses their composure more."

"The most dangerous place is still inside Cangyun Pass, which is right next door," Bai Xiaohe continued. "After the previous purge, there are still many generals who are secretly colluding with the Privy Council or Prince Lin, but they are lying low. By revealing the Dragon Vein Map, we are like hanging a piece of fat meat in front of these people, and also setting up a target."

Lin Feng's gaze swept over everyone, and he said decisively, "Therefore, we cannot wait. Lei Bao, Yan Qing."

"Your subordinate is here!" The two stood at attention.

"You two will each lead one thousand elite troops. Effective immediately, under the pretext of 'strengthening city defenses and practicing new formations,' take control of all key locations, granaries, and armories inside and outside Cangyun Pass. Any troop movements require a warrant issued by me. Anyone who disobeys or acts without authorization will be executed without mercy!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Su Xuanji, Xie Wanqing. You two are in charge of intelligence screening and countermeasures. Strictly check all personnel and documents entering and leaving the passes. In particular, keep track of every move of messengers from the capital, the Prince of Lin's fiefdom, and the Privy Council."

"Yes."

"Bai Xiaohe, you are primarily responsible for the safety of the mansion, especially the recuperation of the Ling sisters, which cannot be compromised. At the same time, assist me in training the newly formed 'Duan Yue Guard'."

After the deployment was completed, everyone accepted the orders and left, leaving Lin Feng alone in the study.

He walked to the window and pushed it open halfway. Cold rain mixed with dampness rushed in, and the torches on the distant wall flickered in the wind and rain.

The Dragon Vein Map is a hot potato, but also the key to breaking the deadlock. The Privy Council wants to seize it, Prince Lin wants to take it, and what will the Emperor in the capital do? Will he trust this border garrison commander, or will he suspect him of hoarding a national treasure and harboring ulterior motives?

Suddenly, a series of hurried yet light footsteps approached from afar and stopped outside the study door.

"Go in." Lin Feng did not turn around.

The door was gently pushed open, and Ling Shuang entered. Her face was as pale as paper, and her originally spirited features appeared fragile due to blood loss and pain, but her eyes were unusually firm.

"Commander," Ling Shuang said in a hoarse voice, clasping her hands in a respectful bow, her movements slightly stiff from the pain, "My sister and I have been deeply indebted to you for saving our lives, and for consuming precious medicinal herbs from the army. We have no way to repay you. If you ever need our help, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Lin Feng turned to look at her. This woman, despite her serious injuries, wasn't thinking about resting; instead, she was thinking about repaying a debt of gratitude and seeking revenge.

"Your injuries require rest," Lin Feng said calmly. "Revenge isn't something to rush."

"I can't wait!" Ling Shuang suddenly looked up, her eyes burning with a scorching fire. "Prince Lin, the Privy Council, and those corrupt border guards! Every day they live, my father's spirit in heaven will not find peace! Commander, I know you have the strength to fight them, I beg you... let my sisters and I lend you a hand! Even if we can't be on the battlefield, we can still do our part by gathering intelligence and passing on messages!"
