Chapter 138
"Brother Lin, how did you do it, making such a loud noise all of a sudden?"
"Yes, it's just like thunder."
"Xiaofan, what are you doing?"
The villagers gathered around. They didn't want to believe it, or they couldn't believe it. This was Lin Xiaofan's doing.
In their eyes, only ghosts and gods can possess such means.
"First like this, then like that, and finally like this. Haven't you seen all kinds of big winds and waves? Why haven't you seen this kind of wind and waves?"
Thinking of everyone's previous vows, Lin Xiaofan couldn't help but smile.
I just don’t know what their expressions will be like when they see Lei Zhenzi explode.
When everyone heard this, they all scratched their heads in disbelief.
When Lin Xiaofan returned home, several people dressed as farmers stopped at the door of their house.
After searching the memory of the original owner, I found that none of them were from the village, and I felt a sense of vigilance in my heart.
These days, he has experienced too many dangers, and his precautions are much stronger than before.
All of them were dark-skinned, clothed in coarse linen, and wearing turbans on their heads, just like farmers. But what makes people feel strange is that each of them carries a weapon, some with knives, some with swords, and even some with bows.
Jian Bai put his hand on the hilt of the sword, frowned slightly, and his face was a little solemn.
"Brother Lin, these people are not simple."
Years of practicing martial arts have made his perception far beyond ordinary people. The first time he saw these people, he felt that these people had very high martial arts skills. If they join forces, I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with them.
Lin Xiaofan looked at a few people again and silently became vigilant in his heart. To be able to make Jian Bai say this, his strength must be extraordinary. But for some reason, he couldn't see anything tyrannical about these people.
"But Jian Bai and Lin Xiaofan?"
When they saw Lin Xiaofan, the leader of the other party took a few steps forward, saw their attire, and asked.
"Exactly, may I ask what I do next?"
Lin Xiaofan felt a little relieved when he saw them taking the initiative to talk to them.
"Oh, we are the personal guards of General Jianfeng, and we have been ordered to fetch some repeating crossbows."
The leader took out a cyan token and handed it over.
Jian Bai took a step forward and took the token.
The token is about the size of a palm, in the shape of a shield, and made of bronze. There is a green character engraved on it, and various weapons are engraved around it.
Turning it over, there was a blood-red word "kill", which seemed to be filled with murderous intent, making Lin Xiaofan feel chills down his back just looking at it.
Jian Bai glanced at it, nodded to Lin Xiaofan, and returned the token to the guard.
"This is Qingzhou's military order."
As a descendant of the Jian family, he has seen military orders several times, and he does look like this. Moreover, if such a military order dares to be faked, the emperor will investigate thoroughly and kill all the nine tribes involved. Therefore, since the founding of the country, there has been no such thing as a fake military order.
"Come with me some of you."
Lin Xiaofan hurriedly called everyone into the house, and then sent people to get the repeating crossbow.
Jianfeng treated her well, and he couldn't slack off the other person. What's more, these are warriors fighting on the battlefield.
"You guys have come from afar, it's been hard work."
Lin Xiaofan poured some tea for everyone. These were bought by Jianfeng and the others. Unfortunately, Jianfeng suddenly received an urgent message asking him to return to the capital, so he didn't have time to enjoy it.
"Brother Lin, you made the repeating crossbow and the hemostatic medicine, which can be said to have saved the lives of countless frontier soldiers. In comparison, what does our trip mean?"
The leading bodyguard bowed.
"Without you, how could the border be stable? If the border was unstable and the people were displaced, how could I sit here safely?"
Lin Xiaofan smiled modestly, but these words made several personal guards look excited.
They fought in all directions on weekdays, suffered numerous injuries, and even walked through the gates of hell several times. But the world couldn't understand their suffering. During the famine years, some people even cut off the army's rations.
Lin Xiaofan's words could be said to have touched their hearts.
"Brother Lin, we must never take it seriously."
"The Qingzhou border is stable. This is all made with your blood. You deserve it."
Lin Xiaofan cupped his hands. His ability to live a stable life here is indeed thanks to countless Qingzhou soldiers.
"Brother, I wonder if there are any changes in the Qingzhou border area now?"
Lin Xiaofan asked. If something happened, he would be well prepared in advance.
After hearing this, the guards' faces showed pride.
"Under the leadership of General Jianfeng, the Daliang Kingdom has suffered consecutive defeats and has been beaten to a crawl by us. As for the Dachang Kingdom on the other side, it has been recuperating."
Jian Bai nodded: "That's good. As long as my brother is here, nothing will happen to Qingzhou."
However, Lin Xiaofan on the side frowned. His instinct told him that things were not that simple.
From what he has learned these days, the territory of Daliang Kingdom is twice as large as that of Daqian Kingdom, and it is adjacent to the sea to the west and south, and to the mountains to the east. Only in the north is it adjacent to Daqian Kingdom and Dashang Kingdom.
The Daqian Kingdom has six or seven neighboring countries, and two or three of them are particularly trouble-making.
In this case, Daliang Kingdom can suppress Daqian Kingdom firmly. But these personal guards said that Daliang was so beaten that it shrank.
Then there are only two possibilities. The first is that Daliang and Dachang are fighting. The second one is what the Liang Kingdom is planning.
"I wonder if Daliang and Dashang are at war with each other?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
The guard thought for a moment and shook his head.
"The two countries were fighting each other before, but now they have stopped. I think they are afraid of us."
Lin Xiaofan's heart suddenly tightened and he quickly asked:
"What about the troops of Daqian State stationed on our border? Has there been any change?"
The guard thought for a while and shook his head.
"The military strength of the Liang Kingdom has not been mobilized much. Brother Lin, don't worry. With General Jianfeng here, it is a good thing if we don't attack them. These two countries dare not make mistakes."
However, Lin Xiaofan's brows became more and more wrinkled.
Father, like son.
The Daliang Kingdom's national fortune is not weak, there should be many generals, and the number of troops far exceeds that of the Qingzhou Army. There is only one person in Jianfeng, and the Qingzhou army is only [-]. No matter what, it is impossible to suppress the Liang Kingdom like this.
Moreover, after Jianfeng won several consecutive battles, he no longer took Liang Guo into consideration. Judging from the appearance of the personal guards, the soldiers in Qingzhou probably didn't take Daliang seriously either.
Throughout the ages, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. If the Liang Kingdom suddenly sends a large number of troops at this time, and Jianfeng happens to be absent, the Qingzhou Army will suffer heavy losses.
Daliang State faces the sea on two sides and is surrounded by mountains on one side. If it wants to expand its territory, it can only deal with the Dachang State or the Daqian State. But the key is that at this time, the Shang Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom still had a truce.
The more Lin Xiaofan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
