Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1113 Disheartened

Duan Jingqiu stood up again and bowed: "Thank you, Uncle Miao. With your support, Third Sister will certainly live up to your expectations."

Miao Changfeng stroked his beard and nodded.

"Hmm, I heard that Third Sister obtained the position of head manager of the Duan family with the help of a young man named Mu Chuan. May I ask who this Mr. Mu Chuan is?"

Duan Jingqiu smiled calmly: "Just like Uncle Miao, Mr. Mu Chuan is a friend that Third Sister met in the martial arts world."

Miao Changfeng raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? Then he must be a generous and righteous person."

"Of course, his sense of righteousness is comparable to Uncle Miao's."

Miao Changfeng slapped his thigh: "Such a hero, I, Miao Changfeng, must meet him. If I miss this opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Uncle Miao, you flatter me. Is it really that you want to see me?"

"Of course we are friends from the bottom of our hearts. Third Sister, please don't let Uncle regret it for the rest of his life."

Duan Jingqiu nodded: "Then Third Sister will go and consult Mr. Mu Chuan. Uncle Miao, please wait a moment and savor the fragrant tea."

Miao Changfeng nodded in agreement.

Duan Jingqiu bowed and then left.

She had to ask about this herself. She had to treat Mr. Mu Chuan with the highest respect. In Duan Jingqiu's mind, Mr. Mu Chuan's status was above all else.

Lin Feng was originally focused on studying cultivation techniques and indeed gained many benefits from it, which gave him a deeper understanding of the cultivation world.

This seclusion lasted for many days, immersing him completely in it.

No wonder these cultivators in the deep mountains, after years of secluded cultivation, are still so engrossed in their practice, and disdain all worldly fame and fortune.

It turns out this thing really can be addictive.

Duan Jingqiu told him about Miao Changfeng outside the door. Lin Feng had long heard of Miao Changfeng's reputation, and the two had even fought on the battlefield, though it was a battle he commanded from behind the scenes.

Because I really want to see this person's demeanor.

During the reign of Emperor Dazong, Miao Changfeng was already a well-known leader in the martial arts world, wielding considerable influence.

How could Lin Feng not see such a ruthless and powerful figure?

The key point is that the two have only heard of each other by name and have never met, so Lin Feng is not worried that he will recognize his true identity.

When Lin Feng followed Duan Jingqiu into the living room, the two met and were both surprised by each other's imposing presence.

Miao Changfeng is a tall and robust tough guy. Just standing there, he exudes a heroic aura that inspires awe in people.

In Miao Changfeng's eyes, Lin Feng was not the reclusive cultivator he remembered. Instead, he was a sunny and cheerful young man with a warm smile on his face, which made people feel friendly at first sight.

After exchanging pleasantries and taking their seats, Miao Changfeng greatly praised Lin Feng's demeanor.

His words conveyed genuine praise without one even realizing it, and they resonated with the listener. He was also completely unpretentious, without any airs of a high-ranking official, which made others feel honored.

In this respect, Lin Feng is at a disadvantage.

He wouldn't flatter someone to get closer to them.

As the two talked, Duan Jingqiu became a servant, pouring tea and water, doing the work of a maid.

After exchanging pleasantries, Miao Changfeng got down to business.

"Mr. Muchuan, may I ask which sect you practice under?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "No sect or school, just a wandering cultivator in the martial world."

Miao Changfeng frowned: "For a rogue cultivator to achieve such success, it is evident that Mr. Mu Chuan's talent is exceptional, enough to make even the inner disciples of those major sects feel ashamed."

"Your Excellency is too kind. Mu Chuan's achievements are not great; he was just lucky."

"However, on the other hand, as a rogue cultivator, one's cultivation resources are very scarce. The path to the Great Dao is difficult and the journey is long. It would be better to join a sect in order to obtain more and better resources."

Miao Changfeng tentatively said.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Mu Chuan can't stand too many restrictions; freedom is more important to him."

"Hahaha, well said. I, Miao Changfeng, also yearn for a free and unrestrained life, much better than being this damn prime minister, constantly entangled in trivial matters and never having a moment of peace."

"I also envy the Prime Minister for being able to bring glory to his ancestors, return home in brocade, and enjoy endless prestige in front of others."

Miao Changfeng waved his hand and laughed heartily: "Mr. Mu Chuan is really good at talking. With your abilities, such glory is within your grasp. Why do you have anything to envy?"

"How can a mere roughneck from the martial world enter the imperial court?"

"Mr. Muchuan, there is no need to belittle yourself. If you wish to enter the court as an official, I, Miao, can introduce you to the Emperor. Becoming a fourth-rank Imperial Guard general is a piece of cake."

Miao Changfeng became interested at this point.

"If Mr. Mu Chuan really wants to enter the court as an official, there is no need for trouble. You can follow me for the time being, and within three years, I can guarantee you a third-rank official position."

Lin Feng's eyes widened, and he looked somewhat excited.

"Can he really become a high-ranking official?"

"Hehe, Mr. Mu Chuan, go and ask around. Have I, Miao Changfeng, ever broken my word?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Mu Chuan knows that the Prime Minister's word is law, but there are many rules and regulations for officials in the court, and he may not be able to adapt."

"Mr. Muchuan need not worry. Before I became an official, I was a man of the Jianghu. In my early years, I roamed the Jianghu freely and unrestrained. Now that I have entered the inner circle, I can handle it with ease. Besides, with me by your side to help you, Mr. Muchuan, no one will deliberately make things difficult for you."

Miao Changfeng's intention to win him over was very clear.

Duan Jingqiu, who was standing to the side, also agreed that Lin Feng should enter the court as an official. If this were to happen, she would have a stable source of support.

When you encounter a problem, seeking help can give you some direction.

If Lin Feng has had enough of the Duan family, once he leaves this gate, it will be like a fish entering the sea, and finding him again will be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

"Mr. Muchuan, if you want to bring honor to your ancestors, you really need to become an official in the court. What a glorious moment it would be to return home in brocade robes."

Duan Jingqiu filled the teacups for the two of them and interjected at the opportune moment.

Miao Changfeng also praised, "People say that Duan Sanniang of Luocheng is a dragon among men. Not only is she beautiful and charming, but her business is also booming. If Sanniang approves of something, it must be good."

Lin Feng nodded immediately: "In that case, I will have to trouble Prime Minister Mu Chuan to help him."

"Excellent! Hahaha, I love making friends with masters of the martial world. With friends all over the world, my path in the martial world is open! Hahaha..."

Duan Jingqiu was also delighted and immediately ordered a banquet to celebrate Lin Feng's entry into the Dazheng court and his official appointment as an official.

Lin Feng nodded and smiled frequently.

In his mind, he wanted to take advantage of Miao Changfeng's influence to enter the Dazheng Dynasty, go to the capital, and find an opportunity to investigate Zhao Zheng's background. In addition, he also needed to dig out the treasure of the Grand Eunuch Zhu Qisheng and put it to practical use.

Both sides had their own needs and had a very pleasant conversation.

That evening, Miao Changfeng, having drunk a few extra cups of wine, stayed at the Duan residence.

The next morning, Miao Changfeng made the announcement in public.

Mukawa is the deputy captain of the guard, and his rank is that of a fourth-rank guard general in the Taisho Imperial Guard.

He was of the same rank as Miao Changfeng's bodyguard captain and served by the Prime Minister Miao Changfeng's side.

When Miao Changfeng left the Duan residence, Second Master Duan was exceptionally allowed to leave the backyard and come to the front gate to see him off.

Seeing his daughter's methods, he also established a relationship with Miao Changfeng, the prime minister of the Taisho Dynasty, and even made Mu Chuan the prime minister's personal bodyguard.

Miao Changfeng's attitude has clearly become more inclined towards Duan Sanniang.

Duan Erye was disheartened. His frail body was like a candle flickering in the wind, making him look even older.
