Chapter 229-230 Surprise, Beitoushan, Chow Tai Fook
Northern Frontier.
Feng Rufeng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he saw that he and his troops had finally arrived at the destination of his trip.
This time, a sudden heavy snow closed the mountains, making the team he led three days late.
Fortunately, at this time, it is not a wartime situation, otherwise the fighter plane might have been delayed because of this.
However, even so, he was severely reprimanded by the commander-in-chief. How could he be in a good mood?
But manpower is limited, and they are sometimes so helpless in the face of natural disasters, and they have to accept this feeling of powerlessness no matter what.
Even though Feng Rufeng is now at the level of a day traveler, he has no choice but to do anything in the face of the natural power of this snowy day.
"Enter the city."
However, Feng Rufeng quickly regained his composure and gave orders with an expressionless face.
Now that we have arrived in the Northland, we naturally need to maintain the best wartime condition at all times.
In an army, the courage of a general is the soul of the army.
Following Feng Rufeng's order, their entire team began to enter the city in an orderly manner.
It would be difficult to see this situation in the usually prosperous inner cities of Daxia, where the troops should be stationed outside the cities.
But this is in the North. To put it bluntly, the entire city is a battle fortress, which can accommodate countless soldiers.
This is the Frontier Fortress!
A city in peacetime and a fortress in wartime.
With the turmoil in the North, the major cities have naturally received orders from the court.
Therefore, the local officials had already arranged everything properly at this time and did not let Feng Rufeng worry about other small things in life.
After Feng Rufeng's troops all set up camp within the city, Feng Rufeng finally relaxed.
He arrived at the Armaments Mansion immediately, found the armaments officer in the city, and said, "How's it going? What's the situation in the North now?"
"General, there is no movement yet. The barbarians from the North have not crossed the border since they gathered.
So we don’t know what they are planning now. Could it be that they have different opinions internally?
However, we are fully prepared, so no matter what the barbarian is planning, we are absolutely safe.
Moreover, if our legions had not formed an encirclement force, we would have taken the initiative long ago."
This time, it was rare for the Daxia court to clearly and directly state that if the barbarians dared to invade, they would annihilate all the barbarians in the north this time.
In fact, these frontier veterans in the North have had this wish for many years, and they have long been hungry and thirsty.
These northern barbarians have been harassing the border every year for so many years, but they don't dare to break in. They just want to see if they can get lucky and pick up the slack.
Apart from this, they are just northern barbarians. In other respects, these northern barbarians are not worth mentioning in front of Daxia.
Even the disastrous war thirty years ago was because of Daxia's own internal problems.
Otherwise, thirty years ago, I am afraid that the barbarians would have been eliminated from the world.
I don’t know how the barbarians have the courage to attack again this time. Is it because the world stage has been upgraded and the totem they so-called enshrined has revived?
However, the warriors were very happy in the face of the barbarian invasion. After all, the court had fulfilled their warriors' wishes this time.
beat!
Hit hard!
No need to be merciful at all.
There is no need to agree with the civil servants’ so-called overall consideration, this time it can be a complete victory.
Therefore, these veteran generals at the frontier did not have any fear in their hearts about this war, but were eager to try it.
Warriors should take credit immediately. This is their glory. Even if they die, they will be wrapped in horse leather.
Maybe, because of their bravery in battle, they can win a noble future for their descendants.
So, as border soldiers, how could they be afraid?
In the entire Northland and in the border army of Daxia, all the soldiers may have this kind of thinking.
How could Daxia lose!?
However, the barbarians didn't know what they were up to this time. They clearly showed that they wanted to invade Daxia, but at this time, they had not yet crossed the border.
This situation really left Daxia's border troops a little confused.
"Okay, anyway, I was ordered to station here this time. From now on, all military affairs will be handed over to me. As long as the court has orders, remember to send them over as soon as possible."
"Yes, General!"
After the local armaments officer left, Feng Rufeng fell into deep thought.
In fact, when he set out, the entire Kyoto was undercurrent, and the court hall was quite uneasy.
Because, I don’t know where the rumors came from, saying that the Great Xia army might suffer countless casualties during this northern campaign.
Although Wu Ren didn't believe this rumor at all, Feng Rufeng still felt that he needed to be careful about the abnormal behavior of the barbarians.
In other words, the upper management of the Northland Army mobilized this time despised the enemy strategically, but they were very careful in their tactical arrangements.
No matter what, Daxia must win, otherwise how can it be worthy of the people of Daxia!
.......
Tavern.
Liang Du was still drinking at this moment, but when he sensed that the general stationed here in the city was an acquaintance of his, he couldn't help but smile.
This could be regarded as fate, but he actually didn't care about it. However, after Feng Rufeng entered the city, he kept part of his perception on Feng Rufeng's side.
After hearing Feng Rufeng's conversation and revealing that the Great Xia court had determined this war, he couldn't help but sigh: What a courageous person.
But this also shows that Daxia's national power is strong. Otherwise, why would it dare to declare war so boldly?
When Liang Du heard this, he felt a little happy in his heart. It was a good thing that Daxia had this kind of confidence.
Moreover, from Feng Rufeng's arrangements, it can be seen that although Daxia Chaotang is confident, they are still cautious from top to bottom, and they have not made mistakes because of their arrogance.
Just when he sensed Feng Rufeng and was stunned for a moment, Liang Du came back to his senses and saw that a large portion of the beef in the vat on the table had been eaten by the Great Sage.
Good guy.
The great sage's belly doesn't even have a bulge. It's really hard to tell that such a small body has such a big appetite.
Only then did Liang Du remember that the Great Sage's appetite seemed to be getting bigger and bigger recently.
And it can't help but its appetite, its power is also getting bigger and bigger.
Is this monkey really going to start a spiritual path and turn into a monster?
Thinking of this, Liang Du was actually a little curious, because he didn't know what his spiritual path would be like after the Great Sage?
The waiter in the tavern has actually been paying attention to Liang Du. After all, this thin scholar could probably finish a bowl of beef no matter how hard he looked.
However, reality made him understand that nothing should be taken for granted. After a while, he realized that his vision was short-sighted.
I didn't expect that a little monkey could eat so well. I was really worried about it.
I originally thought that Liang Du would leave after eating the beef, but I didn't expect that Liang Du didn't want to leave for the time being because he saw Feng Rufeng.
"Brother, is it allowed to sleep in the open in your tavern?"
When the waiter heard this, he was delighted. This was really big business.
If this scholar lived here, he would definitely eat and drink here.
This is the time when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and the war in the north may break out at any time, so there may be a lot less of these merchants this year.
Therefore, after hearing that Liang Du had a request for top-notch accommodation, the waiter immediately beamed.
"Sir, we can indeed offer top-notch accommodation here. How many nights do you want to stay?"
"How about I give you ten days' rent first, and depending on the situation later, how about I refund more or make up less?"
Hearing this, the waiter became even happier and quickly called the shopkeeper to tell him Liang Du's request.
Then, after Liang Du readily paid for the meal and accommodation, he took the Monkey King to live in the restaurant.
Anyway, when the war breaks out in the North, Feng Rufeng will definitely head to the place where the war is happening.
If you live here, you don't have to ask around. As long as you follow Feng Rufeng, why not?
In this way, the first day passed quietly, and nothing happened in the entire city.
Liang Du was not anxious when he saw this situation, and he had a lot of fun teasing the Monkey King from time to time in the room.
But just when Liang Du thought that the next day would pass like this, the whole city suddenly became lively.
Because people are coming from Beitou Mountain.
The ones who came were still two young people, that is, those who were in the realm of Kankan Shenzang, but as soon as they entered the city, their identities were revealed.
Beitoushan came to visit General Feng Rufeng!
If this happened in the past, I am afraid that the government officials would have surrounded them by now.
But now, Beitoushan's reputation is well-known and it is an absolute friend of the people. It is no longer the bandit it used to be.
So as soon as they appeared at the city gate, even though the government sent officials to come forward, their faces were full of joy when they saw them.
Being able to help the government arrest criminals, not committing any crimes against the government, and also cooperating with the government to help the people, Beitoushan is no longer a derogatory term.
"I wonder why you two want to see General Feng?"
"Our heads, please give something to General Feng in person, and hope that the adults will help us convey it."
"General Feng?"
There is only one general named Feng in the entire city!
That was Feng Rufeng who came to support and take charge of military affairs this time.
Upon hearing this, the little official did not dare to waste time and immediately took the two of them to the Arms Mansion.
The Arms Mansion has been temporarily requisitioned by Feng Rufeng and has become his temporary office location.
When Feng Rufeng heard that the people from Beitoushan wanted to see him, he couldn't help but be stunned. As a qualified general, he already knew the situation around the city.
So when he heard the current situation, he was a little curious.
He didn't know what the reason for the people from Beitou Mountain came to see him, but I guess it was not a trivial matter, otherwise why would it be like this?
"Go and bring someone here."
Not long after, he asked his guards to invite the two people from Beitoushan over.
After the two people saw Feng Rufeng, they just said a few words and then handed over something. Feng Rufeng couldn't help but change his face.
"Come on, Chen Da, you immediately select some of the elites yourself and follow me."
After finishing speaking, he said to the two people from Beitoushan: "Excuse me, please go to the city gate and wait for me. I will arrange military affairs first and meet you immediately."
The two from Beitoushan nodded and left directly, heading towards the city gate.
Feng Rufeng glanced at the thing in his hand, his expression extremely ugly.
Then, he briefly ordered some of his deputies to pay attention to the court's military orders and contact him as soon as there was news.
Moreover, he took the remaining soldiers to stay in the city and be careful.
After giving instructions on his arrangements, Feng Rufeng no longer wasted time and immediately took the elite selected by Chen Da to the city gate.
In the tavern, Liang Du immediately noticed Feng Rufeng's movements, and he also had a strange look on his face.
The Yinsi actually made trouble at this time. Is this because they are not afraid of death?
It turned out that he heard clearly the conversation between the two people in Beitoushan and Feng Rufeng, but he did not expect that it was news from the Yin Division.
He immediately found the tavern owner, settled the rent, and then left the city directly, following Feng Rufeng at a short distance.
After getting to know Feng Rufeng, I knew that he was generous, but being generous did not mean being careless. On the contrary, Feng Rufeng was as careful as his hair.
This time, Feng Rufeng was able to confirm immediately that the other person was not lying with the token sent by Beitou Mountain.
Naturally, Liang Du also saw their situation immediately, so he immediately decided to come with them.
However, what Beitoushan reported does not sound simple.
While Feng Rufeng was traveling, he was also a little puzzled. At this time, there was still movement from the underworld in the Northland?
Liang Du followed behind, also deep in thought, but the Monkey King didn't know what was going on.
Because Liang Du didn't want Feng Rufeng to discover his traces, he took the Monkey King along the mountain trail next to the official road.
The Great Sage immediately became a little playful in the forest, but because Liang Du was introduced too quickly, it jumped on the treetops and couldn't keep up.
Because of this situation, the Great Sage sat on Liang Du's shoulders.
However, at this time, the Yin Division actually chose to take the lead. No matter what they wanted to do, it can be calculated. Looking at this war in the North, it is indeed not simple.
Yin Si didn't know what they wanted to do at this time in person. Could it be that Shiwan Yaoshan and Yin Si had reached some agreement?
Therefore, this time, even though the Great Xia court clearly expressed its determination to defeat the Northern Territory war in one fell swoop, he still dared to take the lead.
While Feng Rufeng was marching, he was also thinking about what the underworld wanted to do?
However, he still looked calm and composed. After all, as a courageous soldier, he could not show panic.
The two men at Beitou Mountain were quite good at martial arts, and Feng Rufeng led the best among the best, so they marched very quickly.
While they were on their way, Feng Rufeng led them to Beitou Mountain before the sun set.
But Liang Du was in the dark, and when he arrived at Beitou Mountain, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because he didn't expect that just to avoid missing the underworld, he would meet an unexpected person here.
Chow Tai Fook!
Yes, the person standing in front of Beitou Mountain at this moment to greet Feng Rufeng, who else could it be if it wasn't Chow Tai Fook?
When Feng Rufeng saw Chow Tai Fook, he was also surprised and couldn't help but wipe his eyes.
Unexpectedly, I could meet the ghost general here. Isn't he in Yong City?
When did you run to the Northland?
Moreover, what surprised Feng Rufeng even more was that he had actually entered the realm of the Japanese Traveler at this time.
Although thirty years ago, Chow Tai Fook should have become a Japanese ambassador.
But the current situation also made Feng Rufeng feel quite surprised.
After all, at this time, Chow Tai Fook can break through again, which means that he has fully recovered from the hidden injuries in the past.
After all, Feng Rufeng and Chow Tai Fook had fought together in the secret place and experienced the crisis in the secret place, so they could be considered friends of life and death.
In addition, Feng Rufeng admired Chow Tai Fook thirty years ago and always felt it was a pity.
Therefore, as a military man, when he saw Chow Tai Fook, he punched him on the shoulder.
"I didn't expect you to be here. You were the one who organized Beitou Mountain. As you told me, didn't I come here a few days ago?"
Although Feng Rufeng also knew the information about Beitoushan's reformation, he had already become a force firmly supporting Daxia.
But he still didn't expect that the leader of Beitou Mountain was actually Chow Tai Fook.
No wonder Beitou Mountain can change so quickly. This is really a surprise.
Chow Tai Fook was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect that his neighbor, General Feng of Chengchi Army, turned out to be Feng Rufeng.
"General Feng, long time no see."
After a while, Feng Rufeng calmed down his mood.
Then, while they were talking, they entered the Beitou Mountain Village. When they arrived at the main hall, they officially started talking about business.
"Brother Zhou, I wonder where you discovered the movements of the Yinsi this time?"
It turned out that the thing Chow Tai Fook asked his men to send was a paper figure, and this was the typical magic weapon of the paper maker.
This paper man obviously had traces of the Yinsi. In addition, Beitoushan sent a message and discovered the movements of the Yinsi, so Feng Rufeng rushed over as soon as possible.
After all, war is imminent in the north, and this matter must be handled properly, otherwise it will be a time bomb.
Chow Tai Fook didn't hide anything and said directly:
"This incident is actually an accident. As you know, after I came to Beitoushan, the first thing I did was to clean up the entire village.
Since then, all the surrounding villages have been considered our protection area.
Just a few days ago, a villager ran to our Beitou Mountain and asked for help despite the hardships and dangers.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that something strange had happened in their village, and that people had been dying silently during this period.
The most terrifying thing is that this is not just a problem in one of their villages, but a problem in all the villages in their area.
It's not like they didn't want to solve this problem before. On the first day of the accident, they sent people to the government to ask for help.
But no matter who entered the official road and asked for help from the government, they would disappear and would not be able to go to the city to report to the government.
In the end, he had a flash of inspiration. He had been protected by us in the past, so he ran to our Beitou Mountain. This was the news.
However, although our reputation in Beitoushan was better, I had no evidence at the time, so it was not easy for us to go to the government.
Therefore, before reporting to the official, we decided to temporarily investigate the situation ourselves. It was this time that we discovered the movement of the underworld.
The death of those villagers was not an accident at all, it was really a strange encounter, but an obviously premeditated action by the underworld this time.
If we hadn't intervened this time, I'm afraid all the people in those villages would have died and no one would have discovered it.
Moreover, the people from the Yin Division we met this time are all of very high cultivation. If I hadn’t had some tricks this time, Beitou Mountain would have been destroyed."
Hearing this, Feng Rufeng's face became even more ugly. After all, even with his ability as a ghost general, he almost had an accident, so this matter couldn't be that simple.
"Then did you finally catch the person behind the underworld?"
Chow Da Fook shook his head directly, his face also looked ugly.
"Before, just when I was about to catch the papermaker Yoshina, he suddenly disappeared.
No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find him, so I felt something was wrong, so I asked someone to inform you to come over.
After all, I only have a limited number of people in my hands, so you need to expand the scope of your investigation to find traces of people like Yinsi."
When Feng Rufeng heard this, he immediately understood.
And it was getting dark now, so they immediately decided to take people with them and go directly to the village where the incident occurred to check what was going on.
The reason is actually very simple. First, the war in the North is tense now, time is money, and we must seize the time.
Second, at night, people from the underworld are more likely to appear. After all, night is their most active time.
After the two reached an initial consensus, they immediately prepared to visit the village where the incident occurred.
After all, both of them are decisive in killing. After a simple arrangement, they immediately took people out to investigate the situation.
As a result, the lights on Beitou Mountain were brightly lit, and the soldiers held torches and advanced like a flaming dragon.
Liang Du, who was hiding in the dark, watched the situation but did not show up, because he now felt that this matter was actually far more complicated than Chow Tai Fook and the others thought.
Because a person who is clearly a member of the Yinzhou Realm of Yinzhou is now lurking next to Chow Tai Fook, and Chow Tai Fook is still unaware of it.
This shows that the person behind the scenes this time must have a higher level of cultivation than Chow Tai Fook.
In other words, this time the people from the Yinsi who have the realm of real people have already taken action, otherwise it would not be possible.
So this time, I am afraid that Chow Tai Fook and Feng Rufeng have fallen into each other's trap without knowing it.
However, the person behind the scenes doesn't know where he is hiding now.
After all, just like the generals of the Yongning Mansion last time, they were far away from the Yongning Mansion. Only through the special agreement made by the envoys of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, they finally appeared cautiously.
Liang Du actually didn't notice anything unusual at this time. Although he sensed that there were many minions in the underworld, he didn't find any big fish.
For example, in the direction they were traveling, there were people from the Underworld who were in the realm of Sun Travelers waiting for them.
But now for Liang Du, the people in the underworld who are in the realm of day travelers are the minions.
Liang Du's target is now a person from the underworld in the realm of real people, so Liang Du doesn't want to alert the enemy at this time.
In this case, I might as well hide in the dark and just ensure the safety of Feng Rufeng and Chow Tai Fook.
This arrangement may be able to better attract the appearance of the mastermind behind the underworld. After all, this ordinary person from the underworld who is in the realm of a Japanese traveler cannot be Chow Tai Fook's opponent.
I'm afraid that as long as they confirm that Chow Tai Fook and the others have no back-up tactics and that they will not be in danger, the real person behind the scenes will definitely appear.
As Liang Du set off with Chow Tai Fook and the others, getting closer and closer to the village where the incident occurred, the Great Sage on Liang Du's shoulders became more and more uneasy.
Because it is very sensitive to the strange smell of wandering souls, that is to say, if it is uneasy now, it means it feels danger, so it is like this.
However, Liang Du immediately calmed it down and felt a little happy.
Because this time, I am afraid that my mark will be harvested again.
