Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 687 There is a spy on the ship

Zhu Qisheng walked out while pointing at the imperial edict in Wen Jian's hand.

"Now that the Commander-in-Chief has received the imperial edict, there is hope for the entire Dazong court. Of course, we are overjoyed."

Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "The pressure is all on me."

"No one in the Great Dynasty can bear this heavy burden. Please bear it, Lord Commander."

After saying that, Zhu Qisheng stepped out of the door, climbed onto the horse with the help of the young eunuch, and bowed to Lin Feng.

"Goodbye, Commander."

"Goodbye, father-in-law."

A group of hundreds of horsemen, raising a cloud of dust, rumbled towards the city gate.

Lin Feng and others stood on the steps to see them off, silently watching the group go away.

Ju Chaoyue smiled and said, "This is because he can't stand the pressure."

Wei Ming has always been a quiet person, but this time he couldn't help himself.

"Those big guys know it well, but they just want to make a profit. They don't want to harm their own interests, but they can also trick others into fighting for their lives."

"Zhao Gui's one failure scared them."

Ju Chaoyue sneered: "If Zhao Gui really takes Jingdong City this time, I'm afraid we will all have to follow the commander back to Shanglin Mansion."

Lin Feng nodded: "Well, if Zhao Gui can lead such a group of troops and capture Jingdong City within a day, he will indeed be much stronger than us. I am afraid that by then, Shanglin Mansion will not be able to stay there."

Wei Ming sighed, "It's hard to say whether there's still room for us in that great clan land."

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Let's go, follow me to the riverside to see our new warships."

Bai Jing wrote to Lin Feng, saying that the modified warship would arrive at the Cannes dock at 3 p.m. today.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Feng led a group of generals, mounted their horses, rode out of the city, and waited at the dock.

Half an hour later, two black spots appeared on the river surface in the distance.

At this time, a soldier came on horseback to report that the ship from Shanglin Prefecture had arrived, about five miles away.

Because they were going upstream and there was no tailwind, the boat was not moving fast.

The two warships took nearly a quarter of an hour to travel the five-mile distance.

Lin Feng frowned and said, "How did you change this? The speed is not fast enough."

According to his design, the focus of this small warship is still on its speed. Its main combat capability is its ability to both run and fight.

He counted on his fingers and calculated that he had traveled five miles in about ten minutes, at a speed of only over thirty miles per hour.

This speed is not good enough and needs further improvement.

I have to double it to barely meet my requirements.

If everything goes smoothly, the speed will have to double.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the warship slowly approached the dock and dropped anchor.

The sailors put the gangplank on the shore and a group of people got off the boat.

The leader was Bai Jing, who was surrounded by seven or eight guards. She walked towards Lin Feng with a smile on her face.

"It's just two ships. The steward doesn't need to escort them personally, right?"

Lin Feng smiled.

Bai Jing frowned deliberately.

"Why, General, don't you want to see me?"

"How dare I? If you don't come, I'll have to go back."

"Huh, glib."

While the two men were joking around, the guards had already dispersed, kept a distance from them, and stood guard around them.

Pei Qiyin tugged at Lin Feng's sleeve, and under Lin Feng's surprised gaze, he winked to the side.

Lin Feng turned his head and suddenly saw a familiar face.

"Ah? You..."

Not far from Bai Jing stood a thin woman with an ordinary face that was slightly dark and red.

He was showing a row of white teeth and smiling at Lin Feng.

Seeing this, Bai Jing stepped forward and took Lin Feng's arm.

"Hong Xiao has become my bodyguard. She came here this time because she wanted to say sorry to you in person."

"Her? Sorry...me?"

Lin Feng was still confused.

Bai Jing has already nodded to Hong Xiao.

Hong Xiao walked up slowly and bowed to Lin Feng.

"General, I'm sorry, Hong Xiao killed the wrong person."

As he spoke, he looked at Pei Qiyin deeply.

Pei Qiyin quickly raised a hand: "Hey, I'm the same as you, no need to question it."

"Oh, sister, have you killed enough people?"

"No, we've killed enough innocent people, but not enough bad guys."

Lin Feng reached out and pulled Bai Jing, standing three or five steps away from the two of them.

"What's going on? She actually regrets it?"

"Brother, I have already repented. It is because my mother saved my life that I followed her to repay her kindness."

Lin Feng was puzzled: "She must have been fooled by your mother a lot..."

Bai Jing rolled her eyes at him and said, "This person is determined and knows right from wrong. He knows that you are working for the common people, so he feels sorry for you."

"Oh, that scared me. Her speed has left a psychological shadow on me."

"Don't worry, if I wasn't sure, I would have starved her to death. Of course, she didn't even want to live at that time."

Lin Feng nodded and asked in a low voice.

"How is your mother?"

Bai Jing sighed, "Alas, Mom is getting stuck in a dead end. I can only temporarily restrict her personal freedom."

Lin Feng pondered: "The Black Scarf Army is about to be defeated by me. Once I wipe out the Black Scarf Society, she will wake up."

"Well, I hope so."

Lin Feng turned to the main topic and looked at the warship in front of him.

"This ship is too slow and not suitable for combat."

Bai Jing smiled and said, "I don't want them to, it's because I'm very seasick and I don't dare to walk fast."

"Oh?... I was wondering, how can we enter the river and fight like a turtle? Haha, I see."

As he spoke, Lin Feng boarded the warship.

This time, he wanted to check the speed of the warship, and another key issue was the installation of the artillery.

Although the warship was small, it was equipped with eight cannons.

Because the vibration when the artillery was fired was too great, it caused certain damage to the hull.

Therefore, Lin Feng developed a shock-absorbing mount and placed the artillery on the shock-absorbing mount to minimize the recoil force of the artillery.

This small warship is 11 zhang long, more than 2 zhang wide, and 15 zhang high, and can carry more than 100 soldiers at a time.

There is also a crossbow with a protective cover installed on the ship's deck, which was also carefully developed by Lin Feng and strung with a winch.

When two people work together to fire, it has the advantages of long range, fast winding, and continuous firing.

It is also a powerful weapon for attacking the other side.

Pei Qiyin and Hong Xiao followed Lin Feng and Bai Jing. When they were halfway through, Pei Qiyin finally couldn't help it.

He walked up and tugged at Lin Feng's sleeve.

"General, there's a spy on the Zhenxi."

Lin Feng was watching happily, but was stunned when he heard this.

He turned his head and looked at Pei Qiyin.

"Really, General, Hong Xiao told me that."

Hong Xiao nodded at Lin Feng and said, "When I went to steal the thunder from the ship, a mute helped me. I was very surprised at that time, but now I think there must be something wrong."

"Mute?"

Pei Qiyin reminded him: "When we went on board to search for clues, there was indeed a mute, deaf and dumb, with scars all over his face..."

Lin Feng finally remembered and looked at the stern with a frown.

"Yes, I asked Xi Niang to pay special attention to him at that time. It turns out there really is a problem with him."

Pei Qiyin hurriedly said: "Hurry up and send someone to arrest him. Fortunately, Hong Xiao told us, otherwise..."
