Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1077 The Duan Family's Backer

Duan Jingqiu and Lin Feng are the same type of people; abandoning their gentle and refined image, they want to fill their stomachs first.

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, a maidservant brought them tea to rinse their mouths and then brought them water to wash their faces and hands.

Duan Jingqiu waved for everyone to leave, then let out a deep breath.

“Mr. Muchuan, if you can save me twice, you can save me a third time. From now on, Duan Sanniang’s life belongs to you, Mr. Muchuan.”

Lin Feng smiled calmly: "I guess it's fate. I didn't do anything intentionally, nor will I ask for anything."

Tears streamed down Duan Jingqiu's beautiful eyes.

“Mr. Mukawa, you are aware of the current situation. What my father wants is for his daughter's innocence and the family's reputation. He absolutely cannot allow me to reappear.”

Lin Feng nodded without saying anything.

Indeed, he had seen it all.

"If Mr. Mu Chuan can get Jing Qiu to control the Duan family, then everything in the Duan family will belong to you, Mr. Mu Chuan."

Duan Jingqiu's face was resolute.

Lin Feng looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and realized that she was such a decisive, clear-headed, and wise woman.

Indeed, managing such a large business so well is something only an ordinary person could do.

"What powerful backer does your father, Master Duan, have?"

After a moment's thought, Lin Feng asked a crucial question.

He believed that someone who could build a family business to such a scale must have a powerful backer.

They might be high-ranking officials in the imperial court, powerful figures in the martial arts world, or even cultivators from reclusive sects.

Duan Jingqiu nodded: "Mr. Mu Chuan is very insightful. My father has a prime minister named Miao Changfeng in the imperial court who is second only to the emperor. The two of them are sworn brothers."

"Miao Changfeng is said to be the hidden mastermind in the underworld during the Taisho era."

Lin Feng stroked his chin: "Second Master Duan wouldn't be hanging on to only one tree, would he?"

"As far as I know, my father has been using a lot of gold and silver treasures to support a cultivator from a certain sect for many years. This person seems to have some connection with my Duan family."

"That's it. Your father has thoroughly mastered both the underworld and the higher-level Heavenly Dao, which is why he has built such a huge family business."

"Indeed."

"Even if we can take down your father, do you think you, Duan San Niang, can keep this business empire running?"

Duan Jingqiu smiled and said, "I also have powerful backers."

"Oh? Tell me, who is this person?"

"It is you, Mr. Muchuan."

Lin Feng smiled wryly: "To be honest, Miss Jingqiu, I'm barely able to protect myself right now. Otherwise, why would I be mingling with bandits?"

Duan Jingqiu solemnly said, "I have money, and you have resources. If we join forces, we might be able to help you overcome this difficult time."

Lin Feng remained silent, pondering the current situation.

Tsuruta Gen of the Munenryu school alone was giving him a headache, not to mention the Waterfall End of the Muryoshin school.

These two are both outstanding figures from reclusive sects, and each of them could threaten Lin Feng's life.

I heard from Ye Haishan that Shu Qin, the disciplinary elder of Kunyu Mountain, also came down the mountain to this place.

Shu Qin is not only his enemy, but also someone who knows his true identity. Once they meet, it will be difficult to fool him, and he will have no choice but to fight to the death.

Don't be fooled by Ye Haishan's fight with Tsuruta Gen to save himself.

Once he learns that he is the murderer of Shu Fengting, an inner disciple of Kunyu Mountain, he will naturally choose to stand on the side of the sect.

Although he wouldn't fight Lin Feng, he also wouldn't help him anymore.

These are not the biggest enemies.

If Shuqin discovers that Lin Feng is still alive, once the news breaks, all the hidden sects in the world will take action against her, the genius disciple of Yuquan Temple.

Lin Feng became the common enemy of all the hidden sects in the world. At his current level, he couldn't even beat Tsuruta Gen, so how could he withstand the entire hidden sect?

Just thinking about it gives him a headache.

"Miss Duan, I'm afraid I can't help you. You'll have to rely on yourself for this."

Duan Jingqiu was immediately on the verge of tears.

"Mr. Kikawa, are you just going to stand by and watch the young woman you saved twice have her life taken away by them again?"

"Are you implying that I saved the wrong person?"

"How could I possibly blame Mr. Muchuan? It's just that I have no one else to rely on but Mr. Muchuan."

Duan Jingqiu looked sorrowful, and with her outstanding appearance, it was hard for anyone to refuse her.

Lin Feng shook his head again, saying that compared to his opponents, these were nothing.

Duan Jingqiu got up and came to Lin Feng. He lifted his clothes and knelt down on the ground.

“Mr. Muchuan, if you would like to help me, I, Duan Sanniang, am willing to serve you like a slave and do whatever you want.”

Lin Feng asked curiously, "Even if I can help you take over the Duan family's assets, as you said, they'll all go to someone else. What's in it for you?"

Duan Jingqiu puffed out his cheeks, his face full of indignation.

“My father wants to kill me. Even if I am innocent, who in the world would believe that? I, Duan San Niang, just like this business. Every time I complete a deal and earn a tael of silver, I feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.”

She pointed to the doorway and said, "Compared to all the men in the world, who dares to say they are better than me at making money in business?"

Lin Feng tapped his fingers on the table for a moment.

"How much money does your Duan family actually have?"

Duan Jingqiu paused for a moment, his bright black eyes darting around, looking very lively.

"Third Sister only controls a portion of the Duan family's business. The more important part is still in my father's hands. As for how much money..."

She frowned and shook her head: "It's hard to calculate. The total accounts are all in Los Angeles. Just the shops and banks I manage, plus residences, estates, land, etc., if converted into silver... it would be in the millions..."

Lin Feng nodded; he believed the figure was largely accurate.

When it comes to saving lives, Lin Feng only lends a hand if it doesn't affect his own interests.

Lin Feng was tempted by such a huge fortune.

If the Zhenxi Army is to eventually destroy the Taisho Imperial Guard, eliminate the pirates in the southern border, and unify the entire Dazong territory, it will indeed need a larger conglomerate to support it.

As military equipment and supplies improve, the required resources will increase exponentially.

War is all about financial resources. Without strong financial backing, even the mighty Zhenxi Army will suffer repeated defeats and eventually perish.

Lin Feng headed towards the capital of the Taisho era this time, hoping to explore the treasure of the Grand Eunuch Zhu Qisheng.

Although Zhu Qisheng was extremely wealthy, his riches were comparable to those of a nation.

But it's dead money after all; every penny spent is a penny less.

But the Duan family's business is a source of cash, constantly growing and circulating.

Moreover, with this business genius in front of them, there's no need to worry about the Duan family's business failing.

With the support of the Zhenxi Army, things will actually prosper even more.

In an instant, Lin Feng's mind went through a series of thoughts, from war to governance, from alliances to business trends.

In short, helping this beautiful woman should be entirely beneficial.

If you just want to lend a helping hand, you can only do so secretly and cannot reveal your identity.

Facing this group of ordinary people from the mundane world, Lin Feng felt that it was not too difficult.

The only worry is that cultivators from hidden sects might get involved in the Duan family's affairs, which would make things difficult for him.
