Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1060 Big Price Cut

And there's the waterfall of irrational mind, lingering nearby, searching for itself.

If these three parties encounter me, things could become very difficult to control.

With his current methods, he probably couldn't withstand Shuqin's attacks, not to mention that after Tsuruta Gen couldn't find his daughter, he would inevitably search for him like a madman.

If he sees you, it will immediately become a fight to the death.

Lin Feng was pondering this when Liu Erhu came looking for him.

"Hey, it's been so long getting this fish ready. The boss is waiting to eat it, hurry up!"

"Alright, alright, I'll bake it right away."

Lin Feng had also made his plans. He got up, picked up the big fish, and walked towards the fire.

Song Chen sat by the fire, watching Lin Feng busy grilling fish.

"Brother Muchuan, with all these skills you've acquired, what are your plans for the future?"

Lin Feng turned the grill and smiled slightly.

"Go back to the west of the town and open a pharmacy, or maybe a tavern. I reckon business would be pretty good."

Xu Qi praised, "Brother Mu Chuan is right. With your skills, you're bound to become incredibly wealthy..."

They were very polite to Lin Feng, not only because of his superb rescue skills, but also because in such chaotic times, the fact that he dared to wander around alone showed that his abilities were not limited to this.

As the three were talking, they heard a clear, melodious voice ask a question.

"Is Mr. Muchuan a doctor?"

The group looked up and saw that the woman whom Xu Qi had kidnapped was already standing not far away, looking calmly at Lin Feng.

The woman's name was Duan Jingqiu. After eating the dry food that Lao Wan gave her, she regained some strength and got up to go to the fire.

Duan Jingqiu always had Lin Feng on his mind.

When she regained consciousness, the first thing she saw was Lin Feng's face.

And Lin Feng's actions... I wonder what motivated him to do such a despicable thing in public.

She was a virgin, and although she had been kidnapped by bandits, she could rely on her father's influence to protect her life and chastity.

But now it seems that her innocence is beyond saving, having been defiled by this man in front of her. How can she possibly avenge herself?

This person made an indecent gesture, and all these people saw it. When we tell Father, we won't let a single one of them live.

Lin Feng was a little embarrassed, but he forced a smile.

"Young lady, I am indeed a doctor. I was saving your life just now, and I had no choice but to do so. Please forgive me."

Duan Jingqiu remained calm, but a blush rose on her fair cheeks, and her bright red lips were pressed tightly together.

“My father has a minor reputation in Luocheng, and I have met many renowned doctors, but I have never seen such a strange treatment method.”

The bandits were all secretly amazed. How could a weak woman dare to speak like that in front of a group of fierce bandits? This Second Master Duan was indeed no ordinary person.

Lin Feng also greatly admired the woman's composure.

“Young lady, the treatment I just performed was a unique skill passed down from my master, called ‘Transferring Immortal Qi.’ It has miraculous effects and can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. If you don’t believe me, just ask them.”

Xu Qi nodded repeatedly: "That's right. The girl had already died, but Mr. Mu channeled his divine energy into her, which brought her back to life."

The bandits were indeed amazed by Lin Feng's methods, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

I have never seen a person who has died be brought back to life.

Today has truly broadened my horizons.

Duan Jingqiu's heart began to waver. Seeing that these bandits looked sincere and didn't seem to be faking it, he thought that if they were lying, they were too good at acting.

They were bandits, not actors.

Nevertheless, Duan Jingqiu remained skeptical. He decided it was best not to act rashly against the bandits for the time being, and would wait until his father sent someone to ransom them before making any further plans.

How could a young, unmarried woman allow a man to kiss her in public?

"Alright, I'll trust you this once. However, your actions have greatly damaged my reputation, and the price will have to be lowered considerably."

Lin Feng was dumbfounded.

He never expected that this woman could still discuss the price of redeeming herself among a group of bandits. How strong must her mind be?

What they didn't know was that Duan Jingqiu was a celebrity in Luocheng and even throughout the Dazheng Dynasty.

His father, Duan Enji, known as Second Master Duan, was a prominent red-hat merchant during the Dazheng era. He was an official merchant recognized by the government, and although his wealth was not comparable to that of a country, no one could accurately estimate his assets.

Of the countless shops and businesses scattered throughout the eight prefectures of Taisho and Zhenxi, more than half were managed by Duan Jingqiu.

She was known as Duan San Niang in Luocheng and the Taisho court. She was a famous iron lady, and her business acumen even surpassed that of her father, Duan Er Ye.

It was also a coincidence that we were robbed by bandits this time.

Because Crown Prince Zhao Jian went to war with the Zhenxi Army, he mobilized a large number of soldiers and went to the front line.

This created a gap in Los Angeles' defenses, leaving the city vulnerable for a time.

This allowed Song Chen and his band of bandits to take advantage of the situation and enter the city.

When Duan Jingqiu heard that bandits had entered the city, she didn't pay much attention. She was in a shop doing accounts and casually told her two personal guards to hurry back to the mansion to take care of her father.

He was left alone and ran into Xu Qi, who had come to plunder him.

Xu Qi didn't know that Duan Jingqiu was the daughter of Master Duan at first. He was just amazed by her beauty and thus had the idea of ​​taking her back to be his wife.

When he later learned that the woman was indeed the daughter of Master Duan, he was already in a difficult situation.

Everyone knows that Master Duan has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles and is ruthless. If he only extorted some money, it would be understandable. But if he killed Duan Jingqiu, it would be considered a deadly feud.

These bandits, with their thin arms and legs, were the most skilled among the bandits and mountain bandits within a radius of hundreds of miles, but how could they possibly stand up to Master Duan?

Song Chen smiled and said, "Miss Duan, why don't you give yourself a price? That way we can talk to Second Master Duan."

Duan Jingqiu reached out and pushed Xu Qi away, then sat down in Xu Qi's place.

"It could have been worth a thousand or eight hundred taels of gold..."

Her words immediately drew gasps from the crowd.

A thousand taels of gold was an astronomical figure in the eyes of these bandits.

"Unfortunately, this doctor ruined my innocence..."

Lin Feng quickly raised his hand: "Wait, Miss Duan, I just explained that it was to save your life that I had no choice but to do it."

Duan Jingqiu shook his head: "Why didn't you ask others to leave? Treating someone in public like this, how am I supposed to face people afterward?"

Lin Feng turned his head and glanced around.

"At the time, I really asked all the heroes to leave, but not one of them listened. You can ask them if you don't believe me."

Duan Jingqiu turned to look at Song Chen.

Song Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head.

"No, I didn't hear him say that."

Xu Qi immediately shouted, "That's right! When did Mr. Mu ever say such a thing?"

"I didn't say, I definitely didn't say."

"I really didn't say that..."

A group of men shouted in unison, but none of them admitted to anything.

Helpless, Lin Feng lowered his head and focused on grilling the fish.

Duan Jingqiu nodded: "This confirms the lie told by Doctor Mu. Therefore, the ransom price has been discounted. Perhaps we can negotiate with my father for one hundred taels of gold."

Song Chen and the others immediately widened their eyes.

"One hundred taels?"

"Wow, this price was finalized way too quickly!"
