Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1043 You think I'm just fooling around?

The first man jumped onto the mute man's dilapidated fishing boat and punched the mute man who was still standing there dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, the mute man, who had been motionless, saw the other side make a move and immediately swung his oar. Before the fist could reach his face, he slammed the man off the boat.

Caught off guard, the man fell into the water through the gap between the boats.

The crowd gasped in surprise.

"Oh, you dare to fight back."

"The mute guy hit someone..."

"kill him..."

A group of men rushed onto the dilapidated fishing boat, some carrying bamboo poles and others oars, and some even pulled out short knives from their pockets.

The dilapidated fishing boat rocked violently in the water, but the mute man stood firm, wielding his clumsy oars left and right, each stroke hitting a man.

The man who was hit had no ability to resist and fell into the water immediately.

Splashing water everywhere, the men who had just stepped into the wrecked boat were all thrown into the water by the mute man.

Boss Yu was dumbfounded.

He took in this mute man, but couldn't find out his background. He only knew that the man was very hardworking and caught more fish than others. He didn't ask for wages, just meals.

He was a rare talent, but who knew he was also so skilled in combat, with more than a dozen men unable to get close to him.

After swinging the oar for a while, the mute man saw that no one dared to stop him, so he slowly inserted the oar into the water and began to row.

The dilapidated fishing boat squeezed past the two boats in front of it and moved forward.

The eldest brother and the remaining men stared blankly at him, not daring to step forward and make a move.

The men who fell into the water weren't seriously injured; at most, some had broken heads and bled, but none of them died.

They are all fishermen who struggle for their lives in the water. Falling into the water is like giving them a way out.

After everyone climbed out of the water and onto the boat, no one said they wanted to chase after it back.

Boss Yu remained silent, letting the fishing boat spin in the water.

The mute was the wooden-faced man who followed Lin Feng from Fu Ning Prefecture to Shang Lin Prefecture, but he couldn't catch up with Lin Feng.

I was preparing travel expenses to enter the southern territory of Dazong when I heard that Lin Feng had died.

He can't speak, and his hearing is poor, so he's far behind on information.

After he found out, he learned that Lin Feng left from Yingjian Gorge, went to the East China Sea, and then secretly left Shanglin Prefecture, taking a boat along the Jinjiang River to Tongsheng Prefecture.

Enter Luolingdu from Lindu.

Regardless of what others said, the wooden-faced man had to confirm the truth about Lin Feng's life or death.

He originally made his living on the water, so he always chose to travel by waterway as he headed towards the East China Sea.

Shanglin Prefecture passes through Tongsheng Prefecture and is located east of Lindu Prefecture. The Jinjiang River splits here, one branch going south and the other going east.

The river flowing south is called Luolingdu, and the river flowing east is called Yantong River. Luolingdu continues south and then east, where it merges with Fengze River to form the Yongding River.

The Yantong River flows east past Luolin Prefecture, then east again from the north of Luocheng, the first imperial city of Emperor Taisho, Zhao Zheng, then around the city and south, passing through Fuchang Prefecture and entering the East China Sea.

There was a warship on the Yantong River, which, judging from its design, belonged to the Zhenxi Army.

On the boat was a man in his thirties, his face weathered and worn, frowning as he stared intently at the waterway ahead.

He was none other than Wei Bao, the renowned but rarely seen leader of the cavalry battalion in the Zhenxi Army.

Wei Bao had already spoken with Bai Jing, Wang Qian, and Hu Jincai. His main task at this stage was to find Lin Feng.

Other matters have been handed over to my subordinates.

Wei Bao led several key members of the cavalry battalion, abandoned their warhorses, and traveled by boat.

The plan is to bypass Luocheng via the Yantong River, enter the East China Sea from Fuchang Prefecture, travel south along the coast, pass through Quzhou Prefecture, and then make a trip to Ganqing Prefecture.

Without Lin Feng, the Zhenxi Army was already in a state of panic. Although the soldiers did not know yet, the middle and upper-level officers had heard some rumors.

If there is no definite information about Lin Feng for a long time, the entire Zhenxi Army will likely fall into turmoil.

Wei Bao's top priority now is to get to the bottom of Lin Feng's information, no matter what.

Whether it's dead or alive, there has to be a definite answer.

The Zhenxi Army was in turmoil, but Lin Feng remained calm and composed.

He was sitting on a fishing boat, intently grilling fish.

Arrangements were made for Wen Zhaorong and the 13th Battalion of the Zhenxi Army Navy, and action plans and immediate tasks were prepared for them.

Lin Feng then left the warship and, together with Ye Haishan and his apprentice, got a small fishing boat.

Rong Rong rowed the boat, while Ye Haishan sat in meditation with his eyes closed. The three of them, in their small boat, slowly sailed westward along the Yongding River.

Lin Feng had also calculated things very well. He counted on his fingers that the Zhenxi Army was stationed in the eight prefectures of Zhenxi, even though they were attacked by the Taisho Imperial Guard.

However, Shanglin Mansion has Bai Jing and Wang Qian.

Zhang Changyou was from Tianzhi Prefecture.

There was a man named Li Donglai in Lindu Prefecture.

Xie Zhong, from Jingxi Prefecture.

Cheng Liang of Jinggao Prefecture.

In the southern Fuzhou Prefecture, there were also Hu Jincai and Pei Qiyin.

In conclusion, his own Zhenxi Army and the eight prefectures of Zhenxi are impregnable, and he doesn't need to worry about them at all.

He has already decided to live under an assumed name and no longer appear in public.

Before they are certain of escaping the pursuit of the reclusive sects, it is better to remain hidden in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to strike.

Those below can cause trouble for the Taisho Emperor, while those above can kill off a few disciples of a reclusive sect.

This leaves neither side with a clear target for revenge.

Lin Feng turned the grill in his hands, but in his mind he was thinking about how to find the treasure that was worth more than a country, belonging to the Grand Eunuch Zhu Qisheng.

He secretly arranged for some military funds to be allocated to the Zhenxi Army, and he also recruited some new soldiers, all of whom needed military pay and supplies to be purchased.

Lin Feng felt that causing trouble in the shadows was more satisfying and enjoyable than leading his troops to destroy the enemy in the open.

"Hey, Muchuan, the fish is burnt."

Rong Rong rowed the boat and shouted loudly.

Lin Feng was so engrossed in his thoughts that he forgot he was grilling a large fish. He was so happy that even the smell of burning fish didn't wake him from his sweet dream.

While frantically cleaning the large fish that was burnt on one side, he turned his head and saw that Ye Haishan had already opened his eyes and was staring at him.

"Hehe, I almost fell asleep. I've been a bit tired these past few days."

Lin Feng explained.

Ye Haishan shook his head: "Judging from your smug look just now, you must have been dreaming about getting rich, right?"

"He must have dreamed of marrying a beautiful wife."

Rong Rong joined in the teasing.

Lin Feng glared and turned to look at Rong Rong.

"Amazing! You're a living god! You actually knew what I was dreaming about."

Rong Rong smiled wryly: "Ah, you really dreamed about your beautiful wife?"

"You guessed it. I thought you were some kind of expert."

"Go away, I don't practice fortune telling."

Lin Feng used a knife to remove the burnt parts and continued to rotate the grill.

"You might as well learn to tell fortunes; it's better than being nothing at all."

Rong Rong angrily said, "Mu Chuan, how dare you speak like that in front of my master? Be careful that he cuts out your tongue."

Lin Feng turned to look at Ye Haishan.

"Mr. Ye is over eighty years old, he should be enjoying his retirement at home. Why is he still wandering around in the martial arts world? Your disciples and grand-disciples are extremely unfilial."

Ye Haishan was not annoyed, and his face remained gentle.

"Boy, do you think I'm just fooling around?"
