Chapter Fifteen: Inside Tang's Camp

  "It's okay, I can hold on, thank you for your concern! And this young brother, what is your surname and name? Let me know in the future who my benefactor is?" Maoyi asked weakly with the support of his two companions.

  Lin Feng glanced at him and thought to himself, "Actually, I really don't care about you, I'm just concerned with my own affairs! If you can't hold on, then it's not good for me to talk to you. What if we go to your military camp and talk again? That would be the end of it, that's your foundation, and at that time, whatever you say goes! It's better to talk here instead, among the three parties, my advantage is the greatest and most obvious! This way, I have the most capital to negotiate, and can get the most benefits. Can't just save his life for nothing, right?"

  "In Lin Feng, following the crowd to escape! Since we have met General you, I want to ask you something, of course, it's not a military secret! Besides, these people still need to be handed over to you for proper disposal!" Lin Feng directly said, these people let him take back to get credit, and he just asked about something. Of course, it must not be just using these people to ask about something."

  "Oh? What's up? Benefactor, tell me and I'll listen! As long as I know what's going on, I'll definitely keep you informed, benefactor!" Mao Yi said with a smile.

  "We fled together, and dozens of people went missing, mostly elderly women and children. Oh, right, there was an old man in his 70s or 80s with a head full of white hair, his face all blackened! I wonder if General has seen such a small group of people before?" Anyway, Lin Feng only knew a few names, so he could only describe it roughly like this. Even if he knew the names, it wouldn't be of any use, as Mao Yi definitely wouldn't know either.

  Lin Feng finished speaking, he looked at General Mao Yi and found that he was looking at himself with a very awkward expression: "General Mao, what's wrong?" General Mao Yi smiled awkwardly and said: "I didn't know they were friends of yours, I had them arrested and taken to the army as laborers... But don't worry, they're all fine. Let me take you to the camp, I'll bring them over for you to see!"

  Lin Feng thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Alright, let's do as you said. We'll leave now. It's just right that all of you are like this, I can take care of you along the way!" Then everyone cleaned up the battlefield, tied up the remaining prisoners with ropes, and each found a horse to ride on, pulling them along as they prepared to depart.

  It's good that I had experience before, often going to the horse racing track in Xi'an to ride horses and relax. Although I didn't gallop, riding slowly was still okay. Anyway, they were all injured and couldn't run too fast! It seems like I need to find an opportunity to learn how to ride a horse, this is the fastest means of transportation nowadays!

  When they returned to the military camp, it was already completely dark. This is a real military camp, and it seems that this battle will soon be fought in a big way. Lin Feng originally thought he would go to the garrison's military camp, also known as the outer city's garrison location, but unexpectedly, it had already been built fifty miles outside the city.

  This looks like a large village, according to General Mao's introduction, this is the middle army camp, and there are two camps on both sides, which are managed by his trusted subordinates. Behind his central army camp, there is also a supply line, and various grains, grasses, and equipment are transported from Chang'an City every day.

  There were several large watchtowers at the entrance, each with four soldiers on duty in shifts. Outside the fence wall was a layer of chevaux de frise, and inside the fence wall was also a thick layer of chevaux de frise. There were also piles of caltrops nearby, which seemed to be used to prevent enemy cavalry from charging into the camp. After entering the camp, there were rows of tents, bonfires, weapon racks, and teams of patrolling soldiers. Since they were led by General Mao, no one came to ask for their identities, and at most, people passing by would give them different looks.

  General Mao directly led them into the main tent, then asked them to take a seat. He ordered people to bring wine and dishes to entertain them, of course, also inviting the person in charge, ordering them to find Wang Lao and others they wanted to see, and bringing them all to this side of the tent. Then General Mao and his men went to treat their wounds first, letting Lin Feng and others wait aside for a while.

  When the dishes were served, General Mao also arrived, accompanied by a person who was lightly injured in the afternoon. After General Mao sat down, he picked up his bowl and gestured to Lin Feng, saying: "Brother Feng, thank you for your help this afternoon, otherwise we would have been in real trouble today!" He shook his head with lingering fear and continued: "It's just a pity about those brothers who followed me, they were my comrades-in-arms for over ten years! Ah, never mind, brother, I'll drink this bowl to toast you, let me take the lead!" With that, he gulped down the contents of his bowl.

  Lin Feng stared at him with wide eyes, this bowl of wine must weigh at least a kilogram! Even if he could drink the whole bowl himself, he couldn't finish it in one gulp with him. However, Lin Feng still quickly picked up the bowl and gestured to say: "General Mao, don't be sad, a good man should conquer the battlefield, die wrapped in horse leather! Come on, for those fallen brothers, let's drink!" Anyway, he didn't promise to finish the whole bowl with him, who cares. Lin Feng picked it up and drank, but only took a sip, just about to put down the bowl when suddenly the whole thing was poured directly into his mouth! Because this wine is like 21st-century beer, no degree at all! Luckily he reacted quickly, or else he would have made a scene!

  As expected, Lin Feng finished drinking and wiped the bottom of the bowl clean. General Mao immediately applauded and laughed loudly: "Haha, Brother Feng is indeed a straightforward person! Come on, come on, eat meat, drink wine!"

  Lin Feng was actually hungry, but he didn't want to start eating. He immediately began devouring the food with both hands, taking big bites of a duck leg and a chicken leg. General Mao pointed at someone across from Lin Feng, who had come with him, and introduced, "Brother Feng, this is General Wei Daxiong, our army's vanguard general, and also one of my most trusted generals!"

  Lin Feng hastily filled the wine, swallowed the chicken and duck meat, and quickly said to Wei Dajun: "It's General Wei! I've heard of you before, nice to meet you! I'll drink this bowl first, please help yourself!" After finishing speaking, he drank it directly. Anyway, this wine is at most 5 or 6 degrees, drinking a dozen kilograms won't be a problem!

  "That's too much, I'm grateful for your lifesaving kindness! Don't call me General anymore, and let's not mention the military camp. I'm older than you, so if you don't mind, just call me Big Brother Wei from now on! Come, let's finish this bowl together!" He then tilted his head back and downed the whole thing in one gulp.

  Lin Feng directly poured another bowl and said, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite. It's my honor to know General Wei, haha!" After that, Lin Feng gestured to Zhou Chen on the side to get up and said to the two of them, "This is my brother, Zhou Chen. I hope you will take care of him in the future! Come, Zhou Chen, have a drink with the two generals!" After saying that, Lin Feng also joined in for a drink!
