Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 300: Ancestral Instructions Must Not Be Violated

Although it is not too outrageous, Lin Feng's identity is very sensitive.

Bai Jing saw Lin Feng frowning and thinking for a long time without saying anything, and said worriedly.

"Brother, at worst we can just give up this useless bow and arrow. It won't affect the current battle situation."

Lin Feng shook his head: "I have to find out who took the initiative."

"Nothing more than these major forces."

Bai Jing counted on her fingers and said, "The Tartars wouldn't play such tricks. The Imperial Army has been defeated by you, and the battle with Xixia hasn't even begun. Could this be the border army's fault?"

"Hey, they play to surprise you. It's quite exciting."

"Brother, maybe we are worrying too much?"

Lin Feng turned his head and looked into Bai Jing's eyes, which were still pure and bright.

"Do you think this is a trap?"

Bai Jing frowned, bit her lower lip, and hesitated.

"Maybe... Brother is right. It's better to be careful. Let's not go."

Suddenly Bai Jing's eyes lit up: "Hey, brother, how about finding a substitute to go over there?"

"Well, that's a good idea. Let me think about who among the guards is most like me."

"Let me go and take a look."

"Okay, I'll switch identities with the guards and see if they can be fooled."

After a day of preparation, Bai Jing selected a young guard from the guard team who was about the same handsomeness as Lin Feng.

The next morning, Lin Feng, wearing armor, followed the group of guards.

A team of twenty riders rumbled to the grocery store on the north street of the border town.

Cheng Liang dismounted and went forward to knock on the door.

After a while, Liang Jincai yawned, opened the shop door, rubbed his eyes, and stared blankly at the horse team in front of him.

"I... am operating a legal business. I haven't... broken any laws."

Cheng Liang smiled and said, "Uncle Liang, this is General Lin from our family. He has come to receive your ancestral secret technique."

Liang Jincai's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked up at Lin Feng with an excited expression.

"Oh, oh, good, I'm glad to meet General Lin. I've heard of your name a long time ago. It's so famous. I'm so grateful to have your favor..."

Cheng Liang stopped him from saying anything else and motioned him to go inside to talk.

The grocery store is not big and can't accommodate so many people.

Lin Feng only brought four guards plus Cheng Liang and Wen Jian, and strode into the shop.

Everyone followed Liang Jincai to the backyard of the grocery store and entered his bedroom.

Lin Feng was among the guards, observing the situation around him.

Nothing unusual was found, it was just an ordinary house.

The bedroom was even smaller, and Liang Jincai stepped into the room with Lin Feng's stand-in.

Lin Feng stood outside the door and looked inside.

In front of the wall stood a black statue, more than half a person's height, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Because the sculpture's face looks very much like a woman, but theoretically, shouldn't the ancestor be a man?

Three sandalwood incense sticks have been lit in front of the statue, and there is a solemn atmosphere amid the curling green smoke.

Liang Jincai bowed and spoke humbly.

"General Lin, I'm sorry. You only need to say a few words of thanks in front of my ancestor's statue. This is the ancestral teaching. If you want to inherit the secret method, you must not violate it."

Lin Feng's stand-in nodded slightly.

Liang Jincai still bent over, walked forward, took out three incense sticks, lit them, and replaced the three incense sticks in the incense burner in front of the statue.

He first knelt in front of the statue and bowed three times, muttering something.

Then he stood up, turned around and smiled at Lin Feng.

"Look, in the treasure box in front of the statue is the secret bow-making method passed down from my ancestors."

Lin Feng's stand-in didn't say anything, but stepped forward and bowed to the statue.

"Thank you for teaching me the secret method. After we drive the Tartars out of Zhenxi, Lin Feng will come again to burn incense for you."

After saying that, he took another step forward and reached out to open the treasure box.

It was a rectangular black box, with who knows how many layers of paint it had, and it was translucent in black.

Lin Feng's stand-in's outstretched hand suddenly stopped in front of the treasure box, and he turned to look at Liang Jincai.

"Mr. Liang, please open the treasure box for me."

Liang Jincai quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, you are already the heir of the secret method, you must open the box yourself to get the treasure. If Liang's ancestors agree, the treasure box can be opened. Otherwise, no one can open this treasure box."

Lin Feng's substitute pondered for a moment, glanced at Lin Feng standing at the door, and seeing that he had no expression, he reached out to grab the lid of the black treasure box.

Unexpectedly, he easily opened the black box lid and took it in his hand. Looking at the object under the lid, he found it was covered with a piece of red brocade.

Lin Feng's stand-in lifted the brocade, revealing a jade plate with a few lines of small words engraved on it.

Because the characters are too small, I can't see them clearly from a distance.

Lin Feng's stand-in bent down and moved closer to identify it carefully.

Just as he moved forward, Lin Feng, who was standing at the door, discovered that a very light green smoke seemed to be coming out of the black box facing a ray of sunlight, and he immediately shouted.

"Back off!"

Lin Feng's stand-in's originally tense body instantly pulled back, trying to get away from the treasure box.

Almost at the same time, the jade token in the black box suddenly exploded with a "pop".

Lin Feng shouted again: "Catch him!"

Cheng Liang rushed forward and reached out to grab Liang Jincai.

Liang Jincai, who was always old and slow in his movements, suddenly turned around and punched Cheng Liang who was rushing towards him.

Cheng Liang stretched out his hands forward, but was stopped by his great force.

Lin Feng's stand-in had already fallen to the ground, covering his face with his hands and shouting loudly.

Two guards entered the room, one went to help Cheng Liang, and the other went to drag Lin Feng's substitute who was sitting on the ground.

After Liang Jincai stopped Cheng Liang with a punch, a strange smile appeared on his face.

His body moved backwards and hit the wall, and instantly crashed into a flip-up secret door.

Cheng Liang pulled out his steel knife, rushed forward, and tried to rush into the secret door.

Lin Feng quickly shouted: "Don't go in, go and surround this place."

He turned and shouted to the guards outside the yard: "Send the doctor over, quickly!"

The guards who followed immediately circled the grocery store and began to block off its perimeter.

Lin Feng felt that this still wouldn't work.

"Go call for more people to seal off this area and prevent him from escaping."

He shouted orders, reached out and pressed the low wall next to him, flipped over and jumped onto the top of the wall, and then jumped onto the roof.

He searched everywhere on the roof for Liang Jincai.

Sure enough, when Lin Feng looked towards the northwest, he found a figure flashing on the courtyard wall and disappearing into another courtyard.

"Quick, get my bow and arrow."

Wen Jian took the bow off his body and threw it hard onto the roof.

Then throw the quiver.

Lin Feng stood on the roof, took the bow and arrow in his hand, pulled out only one feather arrow, and hung the quiver on his shoulder.

Take a deep breath, nock the arrow, and draw the bow.

Slowly set the target in the direction of the yard just now and waited quietly.

Liang Jincai climbed into his neighbor's yard, hid in the corner, and listened to the movements in his own yard.

All that could be heard were the hurried footsteps of the guards and Lin Feng's shouts.

They knew that if they stayed any longer, a large group of soldiers would rush over and surround the place.

He quietly moved along the corner to the other wall.

Counting in my mind: "One... two..."

He suddenly jumped up, climbed up the wall with one hand, and flipped over.

Lin Feng also saw a figure flash by on the wall, moved slightly, and loosened his right hand.

The arrow flew away from the bowstring in a flash.

Lin Feng quickly put the second arrow on his head, his eyes fixed on the place where he had just been.

Liang Jincai groaned. When he climbed over the wall just now, his shoulder slowed down for a moment.

The feather arrow pierced his skin and flesh, leaving a puff of blood.

He squatted against the wall, gritting his teeth and cursing inwardly.

"Damn, what a sharp archery skill."

Since his whereabouts had been exposed, he could no longer stay here. He looked around anxiously.
