Chapter 266：Shameless Lin Feng

During the New Year's Eve in Yangzhou City, the streets are still bustling with people, with groups of three or five walking along the main roads, creating a lively scene. 

At this moment, in the area of the city gates of Yangzhou, the guards had vanished. In their place were the stern-looking soldiers clad in scarlet armor, exuding an imposing aura all over their bodies. 

Not only that, in Yangzhou City, there was also a group of valiant soldiers riding on red-blooded warhorses, patrolling the city. They were imposing in their bearing and commanding respect from the people. Wherever they went, the crowd was solemn and their gazes were directed towards these soldiers. 

"The Crimson Blood Cavalry, as expected, is truly imposing and formidable. It is said that this regiment is the most elite in the entire Snow Moon Kingdom. Now, it has moved in to our Yangzhou City." 

On the main road, the crimson-blooded iron cavalry roared past. The crowd watched the imposing iron cavalrymen. Someone spoke out. 

"This is a blessing for our city of Yangzhou. Now that we have this army of red-blooded soldiers, no other cities within the territory dare to provoke us in any way." 

"Exactly, back then, Fang Mou was fortunate enough to witness the Lord Commander of the Red Blood Clan in person. At that time, he was still just a sixteen-year-old lad. But standing on the combat platform of the martial contest in Yangzhou City, he was extremely powerful. Even the likes of Nalan Feng, the noble girl of the heavens, and Lin Qian, who were considered extremely formidable, were utterly no match for him in front of the Lord Commander. At that time, I knew that the Lord Commander would surely achieve great things in the future. Unexpectedly, just one year later, my prediction came true." 

A bearded man with a long beard felt somewhat proud and raised his head to say, "Others immediately showed disdainful looks. This guy is just bragging again!" 

In conclusion, at this time, Yangzhou City and Lin Feng had become a legend, being sung and recited by the people of Yangzhou City. 

A year ago, a young man rose to prominence on the Huishu Fighting Platform in Yangzhou City. However, he was forced out of the city by several powerful families in a joint operation and had to leave in disgrace. 

A year later, that young man had become even more mature, resilient and powerful. He rode on the crimson-blooded steed, looking imposing and majestic. Leading tens of thousands of iron-clad troops, he charged into Yangzhou City and returned with an overwhelming impact. 

From then on, all the four major families in Yangzhou City declined. Only the Commandery Mansion replaced the former City Lord Mansion and stood tall in Yangzhou City. 

However, the people of Yangzhou City were actually somewhat relieved about this. They heard that Lin Feng was planning to lead this legion to turn Yangzhou City into a fortress of iron-blooded determination. The stronger Yangzhou City became, the more opportunities the people of Yangzhou City would have to reach out to the broader skies. And this would be more beneficial for their cultivation. 

At this moment, in the main residence of Yangzhou City's lord, the din was incessant. All the tens of thousands of the crimson-blooded iron cavalrymen were busily engaged in renovating and expanding the residence of the lord. 

Within a day, all the surrounding walls of the lord's residence were completely demolished. 

As for Lin Feng, at this moment he was standing at the entrance of an underground passage, looking at the long passage in front of him. His gaze betrayed a thoughtful expression. 

This dark and long underground passage was newly dug out. The might of tens of thousands of cavalrymen was truly formidable. At present, in the underground part of the City Lord's Mansion, more than half of the space has been vacated. 

Since he has agreed to take over this powerful legion, then Lin Feng, of course, has to do something. 

His body trembled slightly. Lin Feng's figure vanished in the passage. After a while, he reappeared in a room. In front of him was a huge sand map. 

On the left and right of the sand table, three figures stood here, their gazes deep and penetrating. 

These three individuals are Ren Qingchao, the former Chief Commander of the Central Army, Feng Yuhuan, the former Chief Commander of the Left Army, and Lei Qingtian, the former Chief Commander of the Right Army. Previously, they all commanded their respective armies. But now, they have been left by the side of Lin Feng to assist him. 

"Xiao Feng, look here. We'll dig a river channel here, and then build eight earth towers at these eight locations. Combined with the numerous traps inside, the City Lord's Mansion will be completely secure. Even if someone from the Xuanwu Realm comes, as long as they don't act too outrageously, they won't be able to get out alive." 

The voice was filled with a certain degree of confidence amid the wind and rain. Among the three armies, the Red Blood Army was the elite force and the trump card; the commander of the central army, Ren Qingchuan, was bold and unrestrained, adept at strategizing and manipulating the battlefield situation; the commander of the left army, Feng Yuhuan, was good at leveraging the terrain to deploy troops and create mechanical traps; the commander of the right army, Lei Qingtian, was skilled at attacking and fighting tough battles, with a tough and domineering style. 

A legion of several hundred thousand soldiers naturally needs to have clear divisions of labor. These three leaders each have their own specialties. 

Lin Feng carefully observed the terrain of this sand model, gave a slight nod and said, "Uncle Feng, the task of building the Lord Mayor's Mansion is all yours. Just help me build an underground city will do." 

"Building a dungeon is not difficult. But Xiaofeng, we have over ten thousand soldiers here, all of whom are willing to follow you. Now the royal family can no longer send us support. Everything depends on us. If we keep spending heavily, we can still hold out for now. But if it goes on for a long time, it won't be conducive to development. Moreover, the morale of the soldiers will also waver." 

Lin Feng gave a slight nod. This was indeed a problem. At present, the three armies were working together as one, and even many non-commissioned officers were willing to offer their own support to help him. But this was definitely not a long-term solution. 

A legion is powerful, but it requires a lot of things. For instance, there are medicinal potions for healing, elemental stones for cultivation, weapons, warhorses, and the forging of weapons in Yangzhou City. All these require an enormous amount of resources to sustain. 

"I understand. I'll figure out a way to handle these," Lin Feng said. Then he turned his gaze to Ren Qingchao and Lei Qingtian and said, "Uncle Ren, the construction and recruitment matters in Yangzhou City are left to you. Uncle Lei, please take care of the protection duties in Yangzhou City." 

"OK." 

"Don't worry. Leave it to me." 

The two chieftains both responded. Now, if Lin Feng, the lord of Yangzhou City, were to take over the territory, he would definitely not do nothing with these tens of thousands of iron-blooded troops. He still needs to expand his army, and mold this red-blooded iron cavalry into true elite troops. The memories bestowed upon him by the elder were all precious treasures. 

Yangzhou City will surely rise to prominence in the future, attracting the attention of all. It will be renowned for its snow and moon. 

Within a few months, Lin Feng has no intention of returning to the Imperial City. Instead, he intends to stay in Yangzhou City with all his heart. 

"Dear Uncle, thank you very much for your help." 

A hint of gratitude appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. The three of them, who were once all leaders of their own factions, now follow him. This bond alone is enough to make him cherish it deeply. 

"Xiao Feng, the three of us, together with Chief Yu and the General, have been through countless hardships and dangers. Now that the General's heart has been shattered and the General himself has died, we three must do something. The General trusts you, and we do too." 

Ren Qingchao's gaze was fixed on Lin Feng, his eyes revealing a hint of hope. Lin Feng, this unrestrained and wild-hearted youth, dared to defy the royal family and mock Liu Canglan. He even killed Duan Han in front of Duan Tianlao. If he didn't turn out to be a great person, Ren Qingchao, they would have to accept their fate. They all knew very well that now Liu Canglan's heart was dead, without the ambition of the past. Even if they stayed by Liu Canglan's side, they wouldn't have much influence. 

So, they followed Liang Canglan's advice and went with Lin Feng. They did all this for Liang Canglan, to do something for him. This kind of feeling is only understood by us like these few people! 

Lin Feng also understands this. Therefore, he is destined to be no mediocrity or do nothing significant. 

...

In a clean and peaceful room, everything was freshly replaced. Lin Feng pushed the door open and walked in. There was a charming figure lounging lazily on the wooden bed, with a distant gaze fixed on the ceiling. It was unknown what thoughts were swirling in that person's mind. 

She glanced at Lin Feng for a moment, then shifted her gaze back. Her expression remained cold and indifferent. Only her figure was captivating, as if it were a stunningly beautiful scene. 

Lin Feng gave a bitter smile. How could he not be able to melt her away? 

However, Lin Feng was also aware that the room he was in now was already quite good. If it were someone else, even if they just took a step into the Dream Love Room, the terror would be frozen by her cold air. 

Only Lin Feng is allowed to enter her room. 

"What are you thinking about?" 

Lin Feng walked towards Mengqing and whispered something. 

Miaowei shook his head slightly and Mengqing murmured softly, "Nothing to think about." 

Lin Feng walked to the bed and sat down slowly. Mengqing moved her pair of graceful long legs aside and placed them inside the bed, making room for Lin Feng to sit. 

"Think of me?" 

Lin Feng looked at Mengqing with a half-smile on his face. 

However, Mengqing was calmly observing him, her gaze indifferent, causing Lin Feng's smile to stiffen as well. This woman is too difficult to handle. 

Still leaning against the wooden board by the bed, Mengqing shifted her gaze away from Lin Feng. 

Lin Feng's body slightly shifted towards Mengqing, causing Mengqing's legs to move inwards again. 

With her eyes fixed on Lin Feng, Mengqing's gaze was unblinking, as if she were looking at a thief. 

Lin Feng, with a simple and honest touch on his head, felt his body still moving. It was almost touching Mengqing. A strange look flashed across Mengqing's gaze as she stared at him. Finally, there was a slight fluctuation. 

"May I hold you?" Lin Feng looked at those eyes that were so beautiful as to be breathtaking, and said softly. 

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your tacit consent." Mengqing's lips moved slightly. Lin Feng immediately spoke up, and then shamelessly wrapped his arms around Mengqing's body, even causing her to fall and land in his embrace.
