Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1005: Oil-mixed sedge

The overall situation was decided. Li Donglai handed the Thousand-Mile Eye to the deputy general and turned to go into the sentry box. He hadn't eaten yet.

The warships of the Taisho Imperial Army were damaged. They dug up the river channel, but it was useless. They will probably stop working tomorrow.

Although there were 40,000 imperial troops attacking the city, facing the 20,000 Zhenxi troops defending the city, even the most fierce attack seemed powerless.

Repairing a warship of this size will take more than a day or two.

The battle in Lindu City entered a stalemate period, with neither side able to do anything to the other.

Zhang Changyou and Xie Zhong from Tianzhi Prefecture and Jingxi Prefecture blocked the attack of the Taisho Imperial Army, and the entire battlefield situation stabilized.

The most embarrassed person at the moment is Pei Qiyin.

She watched Lin Feng being taken away by Shu Qin from Kunyu Mountain, and the scene of his departure was still vivid in her mind.

But she could do nothing but appease the excited guard leaders under her and wait patiently for Lin Feng's return.

A guard team of one thousand men stayed in Yingjian Gorge between Funing Prefecture and Ganqing Prefecture.

Wei Bao's cavalry battalion and hundreds of guards have begun searching everywhere, but there has been no news for nearly a month.

Wei Bao also confirmed through various channels that the news of the death of the boss Lin Feng did indeed come from the mouth of Shu Qin, the elder of discipline at Kunyu Mountain.

However, so far, no trace of the boss's body has been found.

Many generals in the Zhenxi Army began to plan and organize manpower to investigate the routes and locations of the sects in Kunyu Mountain.

This information was difficult to keep secret and soon reached Wei Bao's ears. As the director of the information center of the Zhenxi Army, he was in a difficult situation.

Should I report this news?

It is obvious that this group of generals will spontaneously organize people and enter Kunyu Mountain to avenge their boss Lin Feng.

Rationally, Wei Bao felt that such reckless actions should be stopped.

Not to mention Lin Feng’s death, which has not been confirmed yet. Even if it was confirmed, if all the Zhenxi troops rushed to Kunyu Mountain, could they get revenge?

There are tens of thousands of troops scattered across the Kunyu Mountains, but they can't find each other, let alone find the other party's mountain gate.

Wei Bao was so confused that he felt overwhelmed.

At this time, Lin Feng also had a big headache.

He looked at a map in his hand, on which a curved route was drawn with simple lines, as well as some abstract images such as rivers and plants.

"Who...who made this?"

Yan Xiaobing shook his head: "I don't know, they must be people sent to gather intelligence."

"What do you mean by showing it to me?"

"You said that if we can clearly investigate the terrain, location, and so on, we can easily intercept the pirates' salt."

Lin Feng looked bitter and shook the paper in his hand.

"Is this the end of the investigation?"

Yan Xiaobing pointed at the words on the map.

"Also, it's clearly written here: the number of troops escorting the salt transport vehicles, the delivery time, the route...it's very clear."

Lin Feng could only nod: "Yeah, now that it's clear, go rob the salt truck. Why are you looking for me? Are you hungry?"

Yan Xiaobing scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Brother Xiaoyi asked me to ask for your opinion. They all think what you said makes sense."

"Do you really think so?"

"Yeah, it's true."

"Okay, my suggestion is to continue investigating. Also, make the map clearer, down to the smallest detail, down to a tree, a slope, a pit..."

Yan Xiaobing was a little confused: "So careful?"

"Yes, it's necessary."

Yan Xiaobing took the map, hesitated, and turned to walk out.

Lin Feng added behind him.

"If you can't meet the requirements, don't rob the salt trucks."

Yan Xiaobing went all the way to another courtyard, which was the gathering place for the leaders designated by Yan Xiaoyi and also the headquarters of the Seven Heroes of the Yan Family.

The other five leaders were all there, waiting for Yan Xiaobing.

After hearing what Yan Xiaobing said, several people fell silent.

After a while, Yan Xiaoji, relying on his age and broad experience, was the first to speak.

"I think, how can we listen to a cook? If we are asked to investigate, we will investigate. If we are not allowed to go, we will not go. It's just robbing a salt truck. With the ability of the Seven Heroes of the Yan Clan, we can't even get a truckload of salt."

"That's right, Xiaoji is right."

Yan Xiaogeng agreed immediately.

Yan Xiaoyi was born strong, but he was not stupid. He tapped the table with his fingers, frowning and thinking.

"As the old saying goes, slow work produces fine work. What the chef said is not without reason, but it's a bit too much."

Yan Xiaowu snorted, "You look down on the Seven Heroes of the Yan Clan."

"Then we must show him that the Seven Heroes of the Yan Clan are unrivaled heroes."

Yan Xiaogeng shouted.

Yan Xiaoding glanced at everyone.

"The boss is not here, so we'd better be more cautious."

"What's the matter? Do you look down on our little brother Yi?"

Yan Xiaowu was the first one to be unhappy.

Yan Xiaoding raised her eyebrows and said, "Yan Xiaowu, why do you always want to cause trouble for me?"

Yan Xiaowu shrank his neck and said, "No, I'm just speaking the truth."

Yan Xiaoding was so angry that he stood up and was about to hit him, but was stopped by Yan Xiaoyi.

"Hey, Xiao Ding, we're in a meeting, don't do anything."

Then he turned to face the crowd and said, "Everyone please express your opinions, but don't stir up trouble."

He also felt that what Yan Xiaowu said just now seemed a bit like provoking trouble.

Yan Xiaoji chuckled, "Everyone, this is an easy decision to make. Let's see. Should we organize our forces to rob the salt truck based on the information we've gathered from the investigation, or should we listen to the cook and conduct a thorough investigation?"

When these words are put on the table, it is very ridiculous. They are all heroes in the world, how could they listen to a cook?

Yan Xiaowu waved his hand and said, "Brother Xiaoyi, just tell me how to fight. It's just a cart of salt, there's no need to make a fuss."

Yan Xiaoyi pondered for a moment and said, "Well, given the current market conditions, salt is more valuable than silver, and it's a necessity for us. So, I've decided to rob a whole cart of salt."

Everyone immediately burst into applause.

"Well, let's split into three groups. Xiao Wu and I will form one group, Xiao Bing and Xiao Ding will form one group, and Xiao Ji and Xiao Geng will form one group. Each of us will lead a hundred men and choose the direction of the surprise attack based on the terrain..."

As he spoke, he leaned over the table, pointed at the map, lowered his voice, and began to assign tasks to each group.

After they finished the meeting, Lin Feng had cooked porridge and roasted game.

Here, there is only white rice and wild animals that are hunted by ourselves, and there are no vegetables to eat.

However, Lin Feng was able to pick a lot of water spinach around this saline-alkali land. This was a wild plant he had eaten as a child.

He blanched the water spinach in boiling water, then used the fat from a wild boar hunted by Yan Xiaobing, the oil extracted from it, and the little remaining fine salt to make a pot of cold dish.

In the eyes of the six Yan brothers, this pot of cold dish is more delicious than roasted wild boar meat.

They rushed forward, grabbed the food with their hands and stuffed it into their mouths. No one knew whether they washed their hands or not.

Yan Xiaoding was so angry that he kept cursing, but he acted as if no one heard him. The pot of oil-fried water spinach was empty in an instant.

Fortunately, Yan Xiaoyi protected some of it strongly, which allowed Yan Xiaoding to have a taste.

However, Yan Xiaoding, who had just taken two bites, widened his eyes. He looked at the little bit of water spinach left in the pot and glanced at everyone viciously.

"Master Shu...I still want to eat..."
