Chapter 997 Excellent Porridge
Chapter 997 Excellent Porridge
Lin Feng sighed, shook his head, and used the straight knife in his hand to suppress the fire in the stove.
The porridge is ready.
Yan Xiaoyi felt embarrassed and sad again, but there was no redness on his elm-bark face.
He put his fingers to his lips and blew out a sharp sound.
But in a moment, the sound of horse hooves rang out around the town. Dozens of war horses rushed across the bluestone ground and gradually gathered towards the courtyard where Lin Feng was.
They wore gray and black clothes, and their main weapons were sabers and straight swords. Many men also carried bows and arrows, and occasionally spears and other weapons.
Yan Xiaoyi brought quite a few people with him. Lin Feng listened to the footsteps and thought there were about fifty or sixty people.
They gathered here from all directions and quickly deployed manpower around.
Only a tall man in his twenties walked into the yard and came to Yan Xiaoyi.
"Brother Xiaoyi, what's going on?"
He was asking Yan Xiaoyi, but his eyes were staring at Lin Feng who was sitting in front of the stove.
Yan Xiaoyi had a half-smile on his face.
"Xiao Ding's cook."
The tall man widened his eyes in surprise.
"Huh? He's alone? Where's Xiao Ding?"
Yan Xiaoyi waved his hand: "Let them be on guard, and the others rest here and wait for them to come and join us."
When the tall man heard the order, he immediately turned around to set up the sentry post.
Yan Xiaoyi shouted at a man in black standing outside the yard.
"Hey, Qiu Laosi, do you have a job?"
The man quickly agreed, ran into the yard, took out a porcelain bowl from the package behind him, and handed it to Yan Xiaoyi.
Qiu Laosi did not leave, but just moved closer to Yan Xiaoyi.
"Brother Yi, is it okay to make a fire and cook like this?"
Yan Xiaoyi shook his head: "Just strengthen your vigilance. Go drink some cold water. He... forget it."
After saying that, he strode to the kitchen and held out the bowl in his hand.
"Brother, give me a bowl of porridge."
Without a rice spoon, Lin Feng directly scooped porridge from the pot with a bowl and handed it to Yan Xiaoyi.
Yan Xiaoyi ignored the steaming hotness, went to the bowl and took a sip.
Even though his lips were burned, it did not stop him from praising.
"Mmm, smells good, smells good, good cook, it's been a long time since I had hot porridge..."
The tall man had returned to the yard and laughed when he heard the sound.
"Brother, can I have a bowl?"
Lin Feng nodded: "What's your name?"
"Yan Xiaowu."
"Go get a bowl."
"okay."
Yan Xiaowu was tall and naturally good at running and jumping. He held on to the broken wall beside him with one hand and flipped over to another yard.
Lin Feng’s porridge is indeed delicious. There is no special technique involved, it’s just that he cooks it for a long time, making the porridge thick and fully releasing the aroma of the rice.
The team of the Seven Heroes of the Yan Clan was used to eating fast food, either cold or hastily cooked, so how could they prepare food so exquisitely?
Yan Xiaowu also drank with his eyes wide open, and kept praising Lin Feng's cooking skills.
"Hey, this Xiao Ding, where did he get such a talent?"
Yan Xiaoyi was impressed by the bowl of porridge.
But he was not confused by the porridge. He just stayed for a quarter of an hour and finished two bowls of hot porridge.
"Okay, gather everyone and head north to Long County."
Yan Xiaowu asked in surprise, "Brother Xiaoyi, aren't you going to wait for them to come back?"
"He's built a fire here, and people can see it from far away. If we stay any longer, the danger will increase. We must leave here."
"Okay, I'll go gather the team."
Yan Xiaowu turned and left.
"Brother, come with us to Long County. I think you are a good cook."
Lin Feng was still drinking his porridge slowly, and hesitated for a moment after hearing this.
"Can I say no?"
"No, go to Long County. Xiao Ding will meet you there."
Lin Feng looked up at him.
"Seven Heroes of the Yan Clan, are you the boss?"
"No, I'm the second one."
"What are you doing in this area?"
"Kill the pirates."
"I'm not a pirate."
"So, we didn't kill you."
"But you restricted my freedom."
Yan Xiaoyi chuckled and said, "I just want you to go to Long County to prove that what you said is true. Then you can go anywhere you want."
"You don't believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, but I need to confirm it."
"You still dare to drink the porridge I cooked?"
"Haha, you can't fool me with this. I can tell at a glance if there's anything else in the porridge. If you want to poison someone, who would choose to use porridge?"
Lin Feng nodded and admitted that he was right.
The porridge cooked from white rice is pure white. If you add something else, the color will change immediately.
There was no way out. Lin Feng had to leave even if he didn't want to. People came to persuade him to get on the horse, but he couldn't fight with them, so he could only follow them.
A cavalry team of two or three hundred people came from inside and outside the town. They gave him a warhorse and he was included in the cavalry. They rumbled out of the town and ran north.
The reason why Lin Feng was still following them was that he hadn't figured out what to do.
If his identity cannot be exposed, he cannot return to Funing Prefecture or the eight prefectures in Zhenxi.
The reason why he used the name Shu Fengting was to attract disciples from the hidden sects to look for his whereabouts.
Especially Shuqin from Kunyu Mountain. This old woman almost killed herself, so how could she live comfortably?
Lin Feng is not the type to settle things peacefully. The hidden sect came to him for no reason and wanted to destroy him, so he had to think of a way to fight back.
Otherwise, if he wants to survive in this world, he will always be suppressed by the hidden sects and dare not show his face.
At the moment, he has just blended himself into the team of the Seven Heroes of the Yan Family, secretly looking for opportunities to counterattack the hidden sect.
Of course, this is a passive counterattack now. If we can gradually find out the details of the hidden sect, we can take the initiative to attack until these arrogant guys are defeated.
This is the strategy that Lin Feng came up with after figuring out some things while following the cavalry of the Seven Heroes of the Yan Clan. His next goal is to fight back against his opponents while continuing to grow.
His Zhenxi Army's main opponent was the Taisho Imperial Army, which were pirates.
Lin Feng believed that the generals who had followed him for many years would be able to bring out the advantages of the Zhenxi Army and that it would not be a problem to repel the Taisho Imperial Army.
Lin Feng's own opponents have become all the hidden sects except Yuquan Temple.
It seems that he is overestimating his own abilities, but who is Lin Feng? He started out as an archer, but he still managed to fight his way to Kyoto City and enter the center of power of the clan.
If the hidden sect had not intervened, he would have secured the position of regent, and even if he wanted, he could have sat on the throne of the great clan.
Nearly three hundred horsemen galloped along while Lin Feng was daydreaming, and saw a city in the distance.
The city tower is low and the city wall is dilapidated. The entire city is overgrown with weeds and full of potholes, which is very ugly.
This is the second gathering point of the Seven Heroes of the Yan Clan.
There were no civilians or pirates in the city, only three hundred cavalrymen who had just poured into the city gate.
This empty city near the coast was far away from Quzhou Prefecture and had nothing in it, so pirates were too lazy to come here. Therefore, it became one of the habitats of the Seven Heroes of the Yan Family.
