Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 562 Marry Me to Lin Feng

There was almost no money in the official treasury of every prefecture and county, while a large amount of money was kept in the homes of officials of all ranks.

The Zhenxi Army fought their way forward, raiding the houses of countless officials and seizing a huge amount of wealth.

This one item alone made the Zhenxi Army rich.

Not only is there wealth, but there are also people. There are many talented people among those who voluntarily surrender and the captives.

This gave the Zhenxi Army huge manpower support, and the engineering battalion had expanded to nearly 10,000 people.

Many skilled craftsmen are among them.

If you fight with me, I will kill you with money!

Lin Feng figured out something to be proud of and grinned.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Feng was shaken awake by Pei Qiyin, and only then did he realize that he had been standing in the yard, lost in thought.

Pei Qiyin was wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"what happened?"

"Look, everyone is scared by you."

Pei Qiyin said angrily.

Lin Feng glanced around and found that many guards were staring at him blankly, at a loss as to what to do.

Then he laughed at himself: "Okay, it's okay, it's okay, I've never seen anyone daydreaming, really..."

Seeing him return to normal, the guards could clearly feel the suppressed relief they breathed.

It’s no wonder that Lin Feng had such wild thoughts. As soon as these two pieces of weapons and equipment came out, he felt that this would be a groundbreaking breakthrough in the war.

No matter how strong your wall is, it will be nothing but rubbish in front of you.

Of course, there are still many problems to be solved when it comes to hot air balloons.

Lin Feng still has time. Within two to three years, the rebels will not be able to break into Kyoto City.

However, it won't take that long before the entire Kyoto city opens its gates and surrenders to the starving people.

Everything is subject to change, including the invention of one's own weapons, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.

Nearly a month had passed, and King Fu had calmed down.

His army of more than 100,000 surrounded the city of Kyoto and stopped the futile task of attacking the city.

Only around the huge city of Kyoto were many camps set up, which were connected to each other but relatively independent.

This is because King Fu adopted the strategy of the Blue Domain to form such a method of deploying troops.

The purpose is to trap the people in the city to death.

According to Lan Yu's calculations, the food reserves in Kyoto City will definitely not last more than half a year.

During this period, people who starve to death will start from the poor and gradually spread upwards.

When most of the civilians are starving, Kyoto City will probably fall on its own.

Of course, King Fu did not ignore Lin Feng's existence and deployed 30,000 troops outside Tianzhi Mansion.

The purpose was not to use these troops to stop the Zhenxi Army, but to delay it for a few days so that his main force could prepare.

In Kyoto, the once bustling streets are now deserted with few pedestrians.

As a major political, economic and cultural center, it is also a major wealth center.

Even ordinary people living in Kyoto feel proud and proud of this.

But now, everyone is in a state of panic and lives in fear every day.

It was still okay a few days ago, when those rich and powerful families could still flee with their families.

Now trapped in four cities by the rebels, there is no way to escape. We can only pray that the large army can turn the tide and restore Kyoto's former prosperity.

The most panicked were the royal relatives.

Prince Fu Zhao Zheng, as the old emperor's illegitimate son, was not liked by them.

But now King Fu is powerful and is about to attack Kyoto.

All those who have a bad relationship with King Fu feel that the end of the world is coming.

In the palace, Emperor Zhao Zhen fell drunk again in the arms of Concubine Du, in a daze, half asleep and half awake.

Concubine Wan turned her head in disappointment and glanced at Zhu Qisheng who was standing at the door of the palace.

Just then, they saw the eunuch Zhu Qisheng looking at them, and they both noticed the disappointment in his eyes.

The two men colluded with King Rui and secretly issued an imperial decree, appointing Lin Feng as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, but it did not move Lin Feng's heart.

Seeing that the rebels had besieged Kyoto City, Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army did not make any move. Obviously, Lin Feng did not value the official positions awarded to them.

But there is another purpose.

As for what Lin Feng was coveting, they didn't know, and even if they knew, they could do nothing about it.

The entire palace was in chaos, and everyone, including the eunuchs, palace maids, empress and concubines, was in danger.

Everyone knows that once the city is broken, those around the emperor will suffer a miserable end.

Emperor Zhao Zhen had four sons and three daughters.

Crown Prince Zhao Cun is twenty-one years old this year. He takes after his father, with a gentle personality, and does not like to fight for power and profit with others.

He had already established his own residence and lived in an independent East Palace.

The eldest princess, Zhao Yi, is sixteen years old this year. She is tall, smart and beautiful, and is Zhao Zhen's favorite.

The reason why she is called the eldest princess is because Zhao Yi was given the title by the emperor.

Faced with such a situation in Kyoto, Crown Prince Zhao Cun had no idea what to do, and he had no close friends to discuss with.

According to the rules, he could not have too much contact with the ministers in the court, so apart from the eunuchs and palace maids around him, the person closest to him was the eldest princess Zhao Yi.

The two of them were sitting opposite each other in the East Palace at this time, with the same sad faces.

Both siblings were extremely worried.

The current situation is very clear. If the city is broken, people will die.

"Is Father drunk again?"

Zhao Cun asked with a frown.

"Well, I just came from my father's bedroom. He's still fast asleep."

Zhao Yi replied helplessly.

"What should we do?"

"I heard that Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army is stationed in Tianzhi Prefecture City. I don't know why they haven't moved for over a month."

Zhao Cun said with a gloomy face, "It's because my father doesn't care about anything. My teacher looks down on Lin Feng, and those ministers are even more arrogant. They don't care about an officer from a remote place at all."

"Brother, you've seen it all, why don't you go and talk about it?"

"The Emperor doesn't allow me to participate in politics. Besides, if I force my way in, what will the Emperor think, and what will the ministers think?"

"Alas, you're the only one who's bothering me. I'm just trying to relieve Kyoto's troubles, not to fight for power or profit."

Zhao Cun sighed: "You understand, but will they understand?"

Zhao Yi asked in return: "Don't they understand?"

The two fell silent.

After a while, Zhao Yi suddenly said mysteriously.

"Brother, let's go to Tianzhi City to find Lin Feng?"

Zhao Cunze was bewildered: "What are we going to talk about?"

"You are the crown prince, the future emperor. Make a wish for him and let him become a high official."

Zhao Cun smiled.

"Haha, this trick works for fooling others, but as for Lin Feng...it won't work."

Zhao Yi supported her chin with her hand, and confusion was revealed in her star-like eyes.

"What on earth does this Lin Feng want?"

Zhao Cun shook his head: "Conferring official titles and making wishes are unreliable. I guess Lin Feng just wants to change the perception of the court and the ministers..."

"Is he afraid that the things we promised won't come true later?"

"Maybe."

Zhao Yi's eyes lit up: "Brother, I have an idea that can reassure Lin Feng and make everyone recognize his identity."

Crown Prince Zhao Cun's heart skipped a beat and he stared at his smart and beautiful sister, feeling a little nervous.

"You... mean..."

Zhao Yi patted her chest with her hand: "Brother, marry me to Lin Feng."
