Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 299 This matter is a bit mysterious

The old man waved his hand and said, "We are not related, I just admire him for his courage in killing the Tartars. In the whole of Zhenxi, he is the only one who can be considered a hero."

"I dare to kill the Tartars, but I just don't have the chance."

"Bah, boy, there's a huge difference between daring to kill and being able to kill."

"Now that you mention it, I can't compete with him for this skill."

"That's good to know. Let's go."

Lin Feng took the whip, reached into his arms, and paused.

He has no silver.

Glancing at the old man, he said, "I heard Lin Feng is in the border town. Why don't you go find him?"

The old man looked a little lonely. He sat on the bench and closed his eyes.

"I told you, we're not related, why would anyone trust me? I'll just let it go."

Lin Feng nodded and looked at the whip in his hand.

"I forgot to bring my silver today. I'll come back to get the whip another day."

Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, he put the whip on the counter and turned away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he heard the old man speak.

"Boy, I'll give you the whip, no money required."

"Huh? Why?"

"Tell me how to get Yingzi to marry me."

"Haha, that's for trading in for skills, this whip isn't worth it."

"Humph, my skill is a killing skill. No one else can afford it except Lin Feng."

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Since Yingzi and Lin Feng are relatives, you can trade your skills with Lin Feng. In his eyes, this is not a big deal."

The old man waved his hands weakly without opening his eyes.

"You believe Yingzi's boasting. She's just saying that because she's afraid people will bully her and her orphan. Go away and let fate take its course."

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, but still stepped out of the door.

Lin Qiaomei and others were still waiting for news in the alley.

Seeing Lin Feng coming, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Brother, how's it going?"

Lin Feng looked up at the blue sky and white clouds and thought for a moment.

"Qiaomei, tell me, how did you find this bow?"

Lin Qiaomei frowned and said, "At the time, I was inspecting the soldiers' training and saw a soldier shooting an arrow. Not only was he accurate, but his arrows were also fast and powerful. I went over to take a look and realized that his bow was different from the others."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Cheng Liang, secretly have someone check this person's background and don't let anyone know."

Cheng Liang bowed and agreed.

Lin Qiaomei stared and asked, "Brother, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Not yet, I just think fate is something magical."

They walked back while talking.

"Send someone to Wencheng to check the records of Liang Jincai, the grocer, and a woman named Yingzi. Report back as soon as possible."

When they were almost at the General's Mansion, Lin Feng turned around and gave instructions.

When Lin Feng sat in the inner hall, Bai Jing brought him hot tea.

"Where's Zhao Shuo?"

"I've been fascinated by your clairvoyance these days and have been looking for craftsmen to imitate it."

Lin Feng had just taken a sip of hot tea when a soldier brought him a report.

This is the investigation report of the archer.

"Yes, this is quite efficient."

Lin Feng looked at the report in his hand and praised it.

The soldier who used the bow was called Liang Yong, a former rank-and-file soldier in the Border City Army. He was thirty years old and had served in the Border City Army for five and a half years.

Liang Yong's hometown is Zhenxi Protectorate, and he is from Linlu County.

There are three other relatives at home, including his elderly mother, his wife and children.

Liang Yong is brave and good at fighting, especially his shooting skills are superb.

Lin Feng looked at the report for a long time, but could not find any problems.

However, the report did not mention Liang Yong’s distant uncle Liang Jincai.

In theory, military registration will not be traced back to distant relatives.

Am I worrying too much?

Following Liang Yong’s report, Liang Jincai and Yingzi’s reports were also delivered to Lin Feng one after another.

Registration for these two people was much simpler.

Because it is a registration of refugees entering the city, its authenticity cannot be proven and it is only a record based on the individual's oral narration.

All we know is Liang Jincai, 51 years old, from Dingyuan Prefecture.

The carpenter, the leatherworker, and no one else in the house.

Li Yingzi, 32 years old, from Qingshui County, is good at weaving. She has an eight-year-old daughter, Niuniu.

Lin Feng pounded the table and looked at the report with a frown.

This Yingzi is indeed from Qingshui County, and is indeed a fellow villager of mine.

Everything seemed flawless. Lin Feng threw the report on the table and stretched himself.

Then he turned around and looked at the bow hanging on the wall.

Seeing that Lin Feng was interested in this bow, Lin Qiaomei kept it here.

For bows and arrows, we can take it a step further on this basis.

As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger. Being an inch longer than your opponent and a step faster is the magic weapon to victory.

Lin Feng had a deep understanding of this, so he was very interested in this bow-making technology.

This seemed to hit Lin Feng's sore spot.

After pondering for a while, Lin Feng sighed.

"Bai Jing, have Lin Qiaomei take my token, one thousand taels of silver, and Liang Yong to Liang Jincai's grocery store to learn his bow-making method."

Bai Jing nodded: "Okay brother, I'll send someone to pass the message."

In order to get the border town back to normal operation as soon as possible, Lin Feng even transferred Bai Jing, who was stationed in the castle, over.

Lin Feng took Li Yingzi's report again and handed it to Bai Jing.

"Take two hundred taels of silver and persuade her to marry Liang Jincai. You go and do some ideological work on Li Yingzi."

Bai Jing took the report and glanced at it.

"Brother, there's a big age difference between Li Yingzi and Liang Jincai. I wonder what Li Yingzi thinks."

"Age is not a problem. Liang Jincai has a skill and owns a grocery store. He comes from a wealthy family. Li Yingzi should agree."

"Okay, I'll go and persuade Li Yingzi."

Lin Feng felt that Liang Jincai had become more confident now that he had 1,200 taels of silver in his hand.

When Li Yingzi saw the two hundred taels of silver, such a huge sum of money, it was hard for her not to agree.

Less than an hour later, Bai Jing and Lin Qiaomei returned one after another.

Li Yingzi agreed readily and said that as long as it was what Lin Feng said, she would agree even if he didn't pay her.

However, there was a small problem on Liang Jincai's side.

Liang Jincai was very excited when he heard that Lin Feng wanted to buy his secret technique.

He didn't want money, but was willing to offer the secret method of bow making unconditionally.

However, this secret method was passed down from their ancestors, and the successors need to show it briefly in front of their ancestor's portrait.

Lin Feng asked doubtfully, "How do you express it?"

Lin Qiaomei glanced at Liang Yong, who was standing aside and looked very reserved.

"Lao Liang said that all I need to do is bow before his ancestor's statue and say thank you."

"He also has portraits of his ancestors at home?"

Lin Qiaomei smiled and said, "It's not a portrait, it's a statue. I went to see it, it's a black statue half a person's height."

"What a generous gesture! What material is the statue made of?"

"Uh...it looks like it's made of wood. It looks quite rustic. What do you think?"

Lin Qiaomei turned around and asked Liang Yong.

Liang Yong scratched his head and hesitated for a long time, but couldn't give a clear answer.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Alright, since you all support me so much, we can't be insincere. You guys can go and get busy first."

After everyone left the room, Lin Feng's face darkened.

Faced with enemies everywhere, he had to be careful.

Now it’s not just a matter of my own life, there is also a whole family around me.

The current game is well designed. It can help me understand my hobbies and makes me unable to stop.

What is sacred?

Although Lin Feng was not very sure, he still pretended that this was a trap designed by the enemy.

He couldn't arrest all the relevant people at once. What if he was wrong in his judgment?

However, let Lin Feng go to Liang Jincai's grocery store and bow to the statue of his ancestors to express his gratitude.

Why does this sound a bit mysterious?
