Chapter 668: Meeting of Two Heroes
Faced with this situation today, Zhao Fengchun didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. He ran down the city wall and went out of the city to meet Lin Feng in person.
Zhao Fengchun has a round face, a chubby figure, and two dimples when he smiles.
The face is very pleasing.
He rode his horse across the suspension bridge and came straight to within a dozen steps of Lin Feng. He reined in his horse and jumped off.
He took a few quick steps and bowed.
"Imperial Guard Cavalry General Zhao Fengchun respectfully welcomes the Deputy Commander into the city."
This guy didn't mention anything about the Royal Guard Battalion, but directly called himself a subordinate, which made Lin Feng feel very comfortable.
"Okay, General Zhao, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard for me, it's hard for you, sir."
"Well, lead the way."
"Yes, my lord."
Zhao Fengchun hurriedly climbed onto the horse's back, turned the horse's head, and waved forward.
This operation made all the generals under Lin Feng feel very comfortable.
A thousand horsemen rumbled onto the suspension bridge, passed through the city gate, and entered the city of Dazong Kyoto.
Zhao Gui was shackled in the prison cart, trying hard to cover his hair in front. He saw his subordinates looking at him with various expressions of surprise, wonder, confusion, and even a hint of excitement or ridicule.
He even thought about what would happen if he gave the order now to let these soldiers who were usually submissive and respectful to him to capture Lin Feng.
I don't know if anyone will carry out my orders.
The thought excited him and his heart beat fast.
Until he realized that Zhao Fengchun would never look at him, not even a glance.
All the soldiers facing him avoided looking away, with serious expressions and staring straight ahead.
Zhao Gui was disappointed. He was smart and knew that even if he shouted, no soldier would pay attention to such a prisoner.
The prison van was dragged into Kyoto City, facing streets and buildings that were as familiar as the lines on one's palm.
Zhao Gui was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die. Countless passers-by looked at him curiously.
He had thought about it countless times, wanting to cut Lin Feng into pieces and chop him into pieces to avenge this humiliation.
Unfortunately, no matter what Zhao Gui thought or how much he hated, the facts before him continued.
The prison van slowly drove through the streets, and Zhao Gui was pointed at by countless passers-by.
His heart was bleeding. Even if he was rescued by Uncle Wang, how could he survive in Kyoto?
His only wish at this moment was not to stay alive, but to kill Lin Feng.
King Rui did not expect that he and Lin Feng, who had been friends for a long time, would meet in such a state.
Lin Feng led the team and arrived at the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion first.
The large group of people blocked the wide streets.
King Rui came to the middle gate in person, stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled.
Seeing the large number of cavalry troops lined up in neat rows in front of the gate, I felt a sense of admiration in my heart.
This Zhao Fengchun is really capable of getting things done.
If you let so many troops into the city without asking for permission, at most you will be scolded later.
But he also won Lin Feng's favor.
If you ask for instructions in advance but push the responsibility onto your superiors, it will make it difficult for your boss.
Asking for instructions takes time, and the long wait will make Lin Feng unhappy.
Wouldn’t that make you neither a human being nor a human being?
King Rui shook his head, shook off these troubles, and focused on looking at the white horse in the lead.
A young man appeared immediately, with a warm smile on his face, red lips and white teeth, sunny and handsome.
Their eyes met and they smiled knowingly at each other.
Lin Feng jumped off his warhorse, took a few quick steps forward, and bowed.
"It must be His Royal Highness Prince Rui. Lin Feng is here to greet you."
King Rui laughed heartily: "Well, what a legendary hero! He is indeed extraordinary. I am very lucky to have such a good general in my clan."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and patted Lin Feng's arms hard.
It was like opening his arms and wanting to embrace Lin Feng.
The two men held hands and walked into the palace, chatting and laughing as they walked.
Behind him were a group of generals and guards, who were distributed in the front and back courtyards of the palace, standing in a row with the palace guards.
Zhao Shuo followed the two of them like a little tail, with a smile on his face, walking forward happily.
Prince Rui took Lin Feng directly to the study and asked him to sit down.
The maid brought tea and Zhao Shuo stood in the corner with the housekeeper.
Prince Rui picked up the teacup, raised it up and gestured to Lin Feng.
"I offer tea instead of wine to thank General Lin for traveling thousands of miles to help the king and relieve the capital's distress."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Feng was very straightforward and unceremonious. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Prince Rui nodded and said, "We have known each other for a long time, and now we have finally met. I am very happy. Hearing about him is worse than seeing him in person. General Lin is even more pleasing to the eye than the legend says."
Lin Feng smiled: "Your Highness has praised me as a beauty, haha..."
"Hahaha..."
After the two of them chatted for a while, King Rui's face turned pale.
"Lin Feng, now that you and Shuo'er have become friends, I will no longer be shy and will address you by your first name."
"Your Highness calling me like that makes me feel even more at home."
"Okay, in that case, let's talk about the battlefield situation."
Lin Feng didn't respond, just nodded and waited for King Rui to speak.
"Now the Fu Wang rebels have occupied Lindu Prefecture City, forming an arc with Jingdong Prefecture City. They want to confront our large army with 120,000 troops. I wonder what our army's next move should be?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, there is no next step."
"Oh? Why is that?"
Lin Feng took the teacup and drank the tea without saying a word.
King Rui sighed, "Alas, I know that although we are both generals of a great clan, we are unable to unite to fight back against the rebels. This makes things difficult for you."
Lin Feng said calmly, "The ones who are truly in trouble are the Emperor and the Prince. If these people continue to control the army, I'm afraid the crisis in Dazong will not be resolved."
King Rui frowned in thought.
"Our dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years, and some of its rules are deeply ingrained. It would probably take a lot of effort to eradicate them."
"Without the determination to remove the poison, the poison will only spread throughout the body."
Prince Rui was obviously unable to resolve the current dilemma and had to change the subject.
"Lin Feng, what's going on with Zhao Gui?"
"Oh, this man is a private spy for the rebels. I discovered him and captured him. Now, along with the prisoner and his confession, I have handed him over to Your Highness. Please make your decision as appropriate."
"Okay, Zhao Gui, I understand. I'm afraid it was carelessness, not a conspiracy."
King Rui breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was not killed by you.
"Well, whatever your Highness says is fine."
Lin Feng didn't care.
Prince Rui waved his hand and said, "Well, you go to the inn and rest first. I'll host a banquet tonight and invite a few close friends to welcome Deputy Commander Lin."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trouble."
Lin Feng stood up and bowed to say goodbye.
At this point, the meeting between the two heroes ended.
Lin Feng was arranged to stay in an inn in Kyoto City.
Kyoto officials were quite troubled by his 1,000 guards.
There is no place to arrange them. There are too many people and there is not enough space.
They had to split up into four groups, and only then could they barely accommodate so many people and horses.
This was also the largest number of guards brought by an official into Kyoto City in history.
Of course, being trapped in Kyoto City doesn’t count.
