Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1300 The Rules Must Not Be Broken

He was a third-generation disciple of the Tianshan Zhengyi Sect, about to enter the inner sect. He followed his master down the mountain and accepted the invitation of Prime Minister Miao Changfeng to come and protect him.

These disciples of reclusive sects have always regarded ordinary people as ants, and they don't even bother to look at them.

Most of the time, ordinary officials and common people would treat them like gods.

Who knew that just a few days after descending the mountain, they would encounter a reckless military officer.

His youthful impetuosity and short period of cultivation fueled his murderous intent.

An ant dares to fight back in front of me. Shouldn't I be the one to offer my right cheek after I've slapped your left?

With gritted teeth, he gathered his inner energy, lifted himself forward, and kicked.

His mind was clear: he wanted to cripple this ungrateful bastard with a single kick.

Lin Feng was not going to tolerate his bad habits. He narrowed his eyes, his body filled with murderous intent, and he was about to make this kid suffer a great loss.

Suddenly, a shout came from inside the carriage.

"Zheng Qing, come back."

The young man stopped midway, his body spun in the air, and he landed almost in place.

Lin Feng forcibly suppressed his blood and qi, and took another step back.

Zheng Qing turned and glared at Lin Feng, then quickly ran towards the carriage.

Lin Feng stood for a moment, suppressing his agitation, smiled calmly, and turned to walk back.

Inside the carriage, an elderly man in his fifties sat cross-legged with his eyes closed in a carriage covered with a thick felt.

Zheng Qing climbed into the carriage and asked, puzzled.

"Master, why don't you let me teach this arrogant brat a lesson?"

"I'm sending you down the mountain with me to gain experience and strive to enter the inner sect as soon as possible. Don't break the sect's rules lightly. Go and reflect on your actions."

Zheng Qing's face darkened. He turned around and sat cross-legged in the corner of the carriage, facing the carriage, and closed his eyes without saying a word.

The old man was a second-generation disciple of the Tianshan Zhengyi Sect, named Gongye Shi. He brought his disciples to support Miao Changfeng in order to repay a favor.

Seeing Zheng Qing turn to face the wall, he opened his eyes and glanced in Lin Feng's direction.

I felt that this person was a bit strange, but I didn't pay much attention to it, wondering what exactly was wrong.

Because of the distance between them and the carriage walls, he couldn't sense Lin Feng's presence.

The sect has rules that forbid arbitrarily interfering in worldly disputes, but defensive counterattacks are permissible when navigating the secular world.

For an outer disciple like Zheng Qing to dare to provoke trouble and take action without cause, it would naturally give others grounds for criticism and affect his future prospects within the sect.

However, anyone who dares to disrespect cultivators cannot be allowed to remain in this world unscathed.

The peace negotiation team set up camp in broad daylight. Miao Changfeng was also very anxious. At this marching speed, when would they ever reach Fu'an Prefecture?

However, the other party was Zhao Zheng's daughter, a princess of the Taisho era, and he dared not offend her.

His relationship with the Emperor was already at its lowest point; if the Princess were to file a complaint against him, how could he possibly live like this?

Just as he was feeling troubled, he suddenly heard a report that the deputy commander and chief instructor of the guard battalion, Mu Chuan, had gotten into a fight with the cultivator he had finally managed to persuade to come down the mountain.

This is outrageous! These two cultivators are his lifeline.

If negotiations with the pirates break down, he's hoping the cultivators can safely take him away.

"Quickly, bring Mu Chuan to see me."

Soon, Lin Feng arrived at Miao Changfeng's carriage.

The teams brought tents, blankets, and other supplies for their encampment, but Miao Changfeng stayed in his own carriage.

This carriage is spacious and fully equipped, making it very comfortable to stay in.

Seeing Lin Feng standing in front of the carriage, Miao Changfeng suppressed his anger.

"Muchuan, what's going on? How dare you provoke my guest?"

Lin Feng replied helplessly, "Your Excellency, that man attacked me without provocation. As Your Excellency's bodyguard, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing, could I?"

Miao Yong retorted, "If you hadn't provoked them, why would they have attacked you for no reason?"

"I'm wondering too, has this person gone mad?"

"How dare you, Mu Chuan! Watch your mouth, they are people you can't afford to mess with."

Feng Li couldn't help but scold him as well.

Miao Changfeng said with a gloomy face: "Mu Chuan, don't underestimate the heroes of the world just because you have some martial arts skills. These people are not to be trifled with. You must not only be careful with your words, but also be respectful. Do you understand?"

Lin Feng had a mission to complete, so he had to suppress his temper and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Prime Minister."

Feng Li is usually kind, but this time he couldn't help but speak a little harshly, so he felt somewhat guilty.

"Chief Instructor Mu should stay away from them; it's best if we don't interfere with each other."

Lin Feng nodded and smiled at him: "Thank you for your guidance, Prosecutor."

Seeing that Lin Feng had given in, Miao Changfeng changed the subject.

He sighed, "Your Highness is frail and cannot withstand the arduous journey. It's nearly two thousand miles. What should we do?"

No one had any good ideas. The princess's carriage was already the best. The road ahead was still an official road, which was relatively flat. Further ahead, there would inevitably be more potholes. Did they have to rest after traveling only thirty or fifty miles?

Lin Feng stood in front of the carriage and glanced around.

"Your Excellency, why not take a boat?"

Miao Yong shook his head: "If we take the land route, there is only one pass in Fengping County. If we take a boat, the river is full of pirate warships, and we will be unable to move an inch."

"We're still on the main road, but the road ahead will probably be even more bumpy. We can't possibly camp and rest every ten or twenty miles, can we?"

Lin Feng frowned.

Feng Li quickly bowed and said, "Prime Minister, Her Highness the Princess is of noble birth and cannot withstand the slightest bump. If we force her to travel, what will happen if something goes wrong? How will we explain this to the Emperor?"

Miao Changfeng was troubled by this. On one hand, there was the grand plan of peace talks, and on the other hand, there was the precious daughter. How could he have the best of both worlds?

The Emperor issued an edict ordering him to go to the pirate camp for peace talks, but only gave him half a month to travel. At this pace, let alone half a month, even a month might not be enough to reach his destination.

"Do any of you have a good plan?"

The ceremony was conducted in strict accordance with imperial etiquette, with no room for transgression. Considering the princess's well-being, no countermeasures were offered.

Miao Yong was also at a loss.

Miao Changfeng had no choice but to turn his attention to Lin Feng. This young man was not only brave but also resourceful, and he unconsciously thought of Lin Feng whenever he needed something.

Lin Feng licked his lips: "How about this, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, go and ask Her Highness the Princess for permission. For the sake of Her Highness's health, the procession can proceed at a slower pace. However, Your Excellency the Prime Minister must also attend to important matters of state, so let's simply divide the procession in two."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned and began to ponder.

Feng Li was the first to object.

"If the group is split up like this, who will be responsible for the princess's safety?"

Lin Feng stopped talking. "I've made my suggestion. The rest of the problems are up to you to solve."

Besides, you didn't even explain the purpose of this trip to yourselves. I know you have some important business to attend to.

Miao Yong turned to look at Miao Changfeng: "Sir, this is not an option either. Her Highness the Princess has more than a thousand guards, so her safety should not be a problem."

After much deliberation, Miao Changfeng had no choice but to wave his hand.

"Let me consult with Her Highness the Princess first before we discuss anything else."

Miao Yong helped the Prime Minister out of the carriage, and then guards brought over the horses.

After riding his horse a few steps, Miao Changfeng turned around and said to Lin Feng.

"Kikawa, come along too."

He was afraid the princess wouldn't allow his request, but with Lin Feng around, he could come up with ideas for him anytime.
