L'amour d'un mortel à travers la dynastie Song du Nord

Chapitre 36

"Are you perhaps pitying her?" the soldier next to him chuckled in a low voice.

The man sneered, "What a joke! The word 'sympathy' has never existed in my dictionary, Lin Feng's dictionary. Whatever state you end up in is due to your own abilities. Since you were born in a chaotic world, there is only the winner and the loser. Want to be a saintess? Hmph, you are overestimating yourself."

The man stared at him for a long time, then finally sighed: "How did Heaven find a woman like you? I admire you. If you were a man, I'm afraid Heaven would have killed you long ago to avoid future troubles."

Lin Feng shrugged and said, "This is the safest method, to avoid leaving any future problems. I would have done the same."

The man stared at her wide-eyed once more, omitting even a word of praise. "You and Tian are truly a match made in heaven, treating your own life and death like a game."

"What's there to be afraid of? It's not true anyway. If it were true, I would have already hidden a hundred and eight thousand miles away. Just like if our affair were exposed now, I would definitely kick you onto their boat and take advantage of the chaos while they were dealing with you to escape." Lin Feng was a typical scoundrel. She was never righteous or chivalrous and was afraid of death. She would only do things when she was sure of success. If she wasn't sure, she would definitely be the first to run for her life.

"You...you are simply..." Utterly shameless! He was at a loss for words to describe the woman, but this woman's ability to read the sky's mind and her timely arrival truly showed she was in sync with the heavens. At first glance, he thought she was incredibly virtuous and noble, but understanding her true nature was a truly astonishing experience!

Lin Feng knew what he wanted to say, and glanced at him indifferently: "If a person doesn't look out for themselves, they'll be punished by heaven and earth."

"..." Speechless, the man thought, if the people of Beichen knew that the noble saintess who always had a warm smile on her face and gave them rice porridge and steamed buns was actually this kind of person at heart, he wondered if they would collectively riot.

Seeing Lin Feng glaring at him with a dark expression, the man quickly chuckled and changed the subject: "How did you know what Tian meant?" Goodness, this woman's eyes were like an eagle's, as if she was ready to devour him alive at any moment. Did Tian have to face this kind of gaze every day? Three seconds of silence...

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then sneered, "Because this idea was originally mine; Chen Tian was just cooperating with me." Seeing him looking at him with the curious gaze of a child, Lin Feng explained, "Last night, I was testing explosives outside the city. Our soldiers were excited, but the other side seemed to be silent, so I found it strange."

"Xi Lan's total force this time is 60,000. Seeing that kind of explosion, even the most composed troops would be thrown into chaos for a while. It's a pity that there was no conflict at all! Either all the soldiers have contracted the plague, or there aren't that many people, and the general must be there to suppress the few who rioted."

"Since there are not enough men, there is only one explanation. They split into two groups to launch a feint attack. Besides Yi Beifei, the only one in Xilan who can lead troops and command respect is the Ninth Princess Xi Caiqing. Who else could it be but her? In addition, Tianlu is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the mountain roads are quite difficult to travel. It is impossible for them to arrive in one or two days. Our side has too many soldiers guarding the waterways. They can only land by taking this route."

At this point, Lin Feng sneered: "Isn't she trying to use a feint? We'll play along! With Yi Beifei dead, they must know that Chen Tian is over there, and that Chui Xue's reinforcements are already there. This will conveniently confuse the fact that we also have your reinforcements. People's psychological intuition is quite strange. They think that if a powerful person dies, then the arrangement over there must be the most powerful. This is a feeling that no intelligent person can avoid."

Having feelings is fine, but it's terrible to follow your feelings without thinking!

No matter how capable Xi Caiqing is, she is just a woman from the old era who has read many military books. Perhaps she can defeat Lin Feng in a direct confrontation on the battlefield, but when it comes to psychological warfare, she is definitely inferior, and she usually falls into Lin Feng's psychological trap silently.

"Later I came here to wait for you to join me. It was all thanks to Chen Tian's good arrangement. If it weren't for your two reinforcements, Yi Beifei and Xi Caiqing would have been in trouble for who knows how long!"

How did you know I also brought troops here?

"At first I didn't feel anything, but later Chen Tian was so confident that he must have a plan. If he was confident in taking down Yi Beifei, how could he not have an ambush?" Lin Feng said impatiently, and said in a low voice, "Stop asking. Xi Caiqing is out!"

Suddenly, a scout reported: "Princess, Bei Chentian has once again used demonic magic to injure people. The power of that magic is truly immense! Our side has suffered heavy losses!"

Xi Caiqing was at a loss for what to do. After thinking for a moment, she turned to look at the ship below. The soldier was still kneeling on the ground, trembling. She thought to herself that he was really pitiful, but for the sake of the war, she could only ask him about the situation of the sorcery.

"Could you explain how the Northern Star Heavenly Demon Technique is used?"

The disheveled soldier cowered on the ground, seemingly afraid of her approaching and retreating, muttering something under his breath. Xi Caiqing couldn't hear clearly, so she lowered her head.

"What did you say? Speak properly and clearly."

"I want to say...you're a complete idiot!" That cold, emotionless accent and sarcastic laugh sent chills down her spine. Xi Caiqing only saw a flash of blue light before her eyes, and a blue shadow was already slashing towards her neck! She was stunned by the voice and didn't know how to react for a moment. Lin Feng's lips curled into a cruel smile. This was exactly the moment he wanted! The instant of killing was enough!

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Unexpected Events

Lin Feng's knife was deflected the moment it touched Xi Caiqing's neck!

A man suddenly darted out from the side, pulling Xi Caiqing aside. The internal force emanating from his palm sent Lin Feng staggering back several steps. Lin Feng was greatly surprised and turned his head to look. His heart immediately pounded.

Why is this sinister man here? A cold smile played on his lips, his handsome face carrying an indescribable irony, and he held Xi Caiqing's hand without any tenderness.

Xi Caiqing struggled and shouted, "Let me go!" But the man caught her as easily as catching a chick.

"Lei Ran!" The man next to Lin Feng was surprised and furious that his plan had been thwarted by someone else.

Lei Ran and Lin Feng exchanged glances, both surprised. Lin Feng took a step back, and Lei Ran's eyes flashed with disbelief for a moment! But he quickly returned to normal.

"General Ouyang, I've been thinking about this woman for a long time. You should talk to your master and say that it would be a waste to kill such a beautiful woman. Give her to me!" He laughed loudly and kept backing away. There were already ships waiting at sea to pick them up. Lin Feng and the others dared not rush to chase after them, as there must be Lei Ran's ambush there!

The two generals on the left and right didn't care about anything else. They shouted, "Leave the princess behind!" and followed Lei Ran as he walked on the waves and caught up with the other ship. Although there was a commotion on that side, it was quickly suppressed. The fleet gradually sailed away until it was just a shadow.

Lin Feng was shocked. Lei Ran had clearly seen her face! And her expression had obviously changed!

He probably planned to kidnap Xi Caiqing long ago. That woman is indeed quite skilled on the battlefield. It's not impossible for Lei Ran to take her in and use her hatred for Bei Chen to deal with Bei Chen in the future.

Although Xi Caiqing wasn't stupid and knew that Lei Ran wouldn't help Xi Lan, the culprit who caused Xi Lan's destruction was still Bei Chen, and she would definitely be persuaded by Lei Ran!

More importantly, Lei Ran must know at this moment that the most beautiful woman in Beichen is none other than Lan Feng! And judging from his expression, he probably won't let him off the hook, and who knows what trouble he might face in the future.

Lin Feng was feeling frustrated as he thought about these things. Ouyang Xiao sighed on the other end, "Alas, Princess Xilan is gone. All our efforts have been in vain."

Bei Chentian's targets this time were Yi Beifei and the Ninth Princess Xi Caiqing. If these two weren't dead, Xi Lan wouldn't be truly finished. Now Yi Beifei is dead, but Xi Caiqing has been taken by Lei Ran, this unexpected troublemaker—this is definitely not a good thing!

Although he was annoyed, it was already a fact, and thinking about him was useless. Lin Feng cursed in his heart to vent his anger: Lei Ran, I'll fuck your whole family!

Before the Lan soldiers could even comprehend what was happening, a sudden drumbeat sounded on the river, and warships began to emerge! These were the meticulously trained naval forces of Beichen! A young general stood proudly at the bow of one of the ships, and upon seeing Ouyang Xiao, he gave him a slight smile.

“Hong Yan is another secret subordinate arranged by Tian. He secretly trained the Beichen Navy, and most of the ships that Shui Wuhen was in charge of were transported to him. He is indeed quite capable.” Seeing Lin Feng staring at the other side curiously, Ouyang Xiao smiled and explained to her, “This time, the job of changing hands in Tianlu is really not something a human can do. Tian originally did not intend to call us here, but unexpectedly, Lei Ran also came to join in the fun.”

Lin Feng thought to himself, this was not just about Tianlu Kingdom. It could solve Tianlu's problems and wipe out Xi Lan's remaining followers in one fell swoop. Why not? Although this trip was not Bei Chentian's original intention, it was hard not to admire him for being able to perfect the plan to this extent after coming out!

Lei Ran's sudden appearance disrupted the entire plan, making Lin Feng wary. Bei Chentian wasn't stupid enough to let Lei Ran in; there was definitely something fishy about this!

A feeling of being schemed against lingered in his heart. Someone must have let Lei Ran in! There was a spy among Bei Chentian's people! And this person even knew Lan Feng's past identity, so that all the blame would fall on her!

Lin Feng felt something was amiss the more he thought about it, and he secretly pondered it.

At this time, the approximately 50,000 soldiers that Xi Caiqing had brought on the river were already trapped like turtles in a jar. Ouyang Xiao had several more generals by his side, and the naval and land forces arrived one after another. This time, it was truly a pincer attack! However, the one being attacked was not Bei Chentian, but Xi Lan.

The sounds of battle shook the heavens, and the rolling waves on the river swallowed up the crimson waters.
