Lin Feng had gone through so much trouble to find the main force, but before he could express his surprise and miss, he was startled by his master's face, which was so dirty that he couldn't recognize it. It looked like he had wrestled with a wild boar in the mud and rolled over seventy or eighty times.
Shen Tang doesn't care about so many things.
Just go up and give me a big bear hug.
"Lingde has really made great progress. Well done!"
"A big reward! A huge reward! It must be a huge reward!"
"Are you hungry after all this traveling? Do you want to eat something?"
Lin Feng's head was buzzing from the three consecutive hits from her master. She felt light and fluttery, as if she was walking on soft clouds. She didn't even know that Shen Tang's dirty little hands were pulling her away. When she came to her senses, she was met with several pairs of slightly condemning eyes.
Lin Feng: “???”
Gu Chi said: "My Lord, what are you doing..."
Looking at the human-shaped mud mark in front of Lin Feng, he could tell who made it with his toes. The master is so fierce, aren't you afraid of scaring the little girl? This is Chu Wuhui's precious child, and she will sink into the water and into the fire if she doesn't agree with him.
Shen Tang rubbed his hands on his clothes with a grin, and argued for himself: "I am just too happy, so it is allowed to lose my composure. Don't talk about me, suppose it was you, I killed the enemy's nest alone and made a great contribution, wouldn't you be happy?"
Hearing his master say this, Lin Feng blushed slightly: "It is a great honor for me to be able to share the master's worries, but I dare not take credit for it."
"What do you mean by 'not daring to take credit'? If you have done a great deed, you must 'take credit' and brag about it. Otherwise, if the news gets out, how will others dare to show their talents and work for me? Unclear rewards and punishments are the beginning of civil strife. Rewarding according to merit is the right way!"
There is nothing wrong with being humble and respectful.
But it is not okay to push away the glory that belongs to you. A boy of this age should be more arrogant.
Gu Chi curled his lips.
It’s not that he doesn’t like Lin Feng.
But no matter how much we like each other, there is still a layer between us.
The most important thing is that such a good seedling is not from his own field, but from the fenced field next door, carefully cared for by Chu Wuhui - this makes Gu Chi feel a subtle jealousy. Humph, why can't good seedlings grow in his own field
"Okay, okay, my lord, can you go down and wipe your face?" Looking at Lin Feng who was harmed by Shen Tang, he felt tired.
It feels like I'm coaxing two naughty kids.
Shen Tang: “…”
She turned her head to look at Lin Feng, and saw her dirty reflection in the latter's eyes. She was immediately embarrassed and scratched her head and said, "I was so happy when I heard Lingde was back that I forgot everything else..." This was not an excuse, she really forgot that she came out of the tunnel.
Took some time to wash up.
Although Lin Feng was dusty, she was much cleaner than Shen Tang, so she just had to wipe herself and change into clean clothes. She came out of the tent in a fresh outfit, but found that soldiers were transporting mud in carts in one direction. She was curious: "What's this for?"
Jiang Sheng happened to come over and answered, "Dig a tunnel."
Lin Feng was puzzled: "Underground? Lack of water?"
"No, it's about digging a tunnel leading to the capital of the Ten Crows."
"Leading to the Shiwu... Capital?" This answer was completely beyond Lin Feng's expectations. She looked at the carts of dirt and said, "This place is not far from the Shiwu Capital, but it is not close either. Digging a tunnel there is indeed a bold idea."
Jiang Sheng was helpless: "It's too bold."
When you make a decision on the spur of the moment, the imagined scene is indeed exciting, but you will find out how troublesome it is when you actually put it into practice.
The construction went very smoothly at first. The efficiency of the brave warriors in the army seemed to be born for digging holes. The ordinary soldiers without martial spirit were responsible for carrying soil, but they soon found troubles - the air in the cave was too thin to accommodate too many people, and the deeper they went, the more so. There was no other way, so they could only add more air outlets and have the soldiers manually fan the air to pump fresh air into the cave.
So as they dug, they found many connections underground.
There is another question that follows.
He worked so hard that he accidentally dug up a water vein.
They also had to ensure that the structure of the cave was stable, lest some brave warriors try too hard and cause the cave to collapse, burying a group of people alive. Jiang Sheng and Gu Chi were drafted to constantly adjust the digging direction of the cave, and they were so worried that their hair turned gray.
Fortunately, the warriors and scholars are naturally sensitive to the energy of heaven and earth, and there is also a certain amount of energy in the ground, which can be used to understand the small underground structure. In this way, the construction gradually got on track, and the earth was dug frantically every day.
If nothing goes wrong, we will reach our destination in about half a month.
When Jiang Sheng came to this conclusion, his expression was numb. He had never dreamed that a martial artist could use his martial arts courage in this way.
It is indeed as the Lord said—
Wudan Warrior, so useful!
Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he listened, and he said with certainty, "Such a fantastic method must be the Lord's idea. But - setting up a military formation under the capital to attract the earth dragon to turn over and bury the fire to burn the whole city seems to be the brilliant idea of Mr. Jiang and Mr. Gu."
The master's temper is well understood by the teacher. If he is not drunk, he will not do anything too cruel.
Jiang Sheng laughed: "You are quite smart."
Lin Feng smiled shyly.
Perhaps "Why did my younger generation lose weight after going out" is the common misconception of every elder. Shen Tang, who regards himself as an elder, is no exception. He stuffed Lin Feng with food and drink as much as he could, and almost brought out the best food in the military camp and placed it in front of her.
Lin Feng couldn't refuse the kindness.
Although the literary scholar has a big appetite, Lin Feng usually only eats until he is 80% full. Today, his throat is almost blocked by the food. He said he couldn't eat anymore, and two other gentlemen came to his rescue before he was let go by the lord. Looking at the lord with a look of regret, she shuddered.
Gu Chi changed the subject.
Ask Lin Feng where to harvest the target.
She did not mention how dangerous and arduous the journey was, and glossed over all the details. However, she spent a lot of space on the literary scholar she met on the road. The other party also took away the headless body of the twelfth prince, which had to be mentioned.
Gu Chi and Jiang Sheng looked at each other: "Who is this person?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "I don't know, but I have no ill intentions."
The most important thing is that she is not his opponent. If she can beat him, Lin Feng will just keep him here. As for whether he lives or dies, it depends on whether the other party knows what's good for him. Seeing the two gentlemen's gloomy faces, she said, "This person should not do any harm!"
She bowed her head again and said, "It's because the students are not strong enough..."
Gu Chi said in a rare warm and comforting voice: "You are not to blame for this. Your safe return is the best explanation. No matter who this person is, we have no choice but to launch the attack. He may not expect that we will start from underground."
Jiang Sheng said in a deep voice: "Wang Chao, change the previously prepared battle formation - I'm afraid they will die less!"
Gu Chi nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."
Before Lin Feng brought back the news, their plan was still relatively conservative, leaving themselves a way out. However, with the intervention of such a mysterious scholar, in order to prevent any further complications, this action must be swift, ruthless, and accurate to inflict the greatest possible damage to the enemy!
In order to save time, the construction period of the tunnel was shortened.
Half a month later, the ten black soldiers arrived at Yonggu Pass.
It was late at night, and it was past three o'clock.
