Chapter 0006: Transactions

Hmph! What use is there in saying these things now

In the outer compartment, a beautiful young girl adorned in exquisite makeup and luxurious attire is pacing back and forth. Her dark, bright eyes carry a hint of anxiety as she occasionally glances at the tightly closed door, yet she never dares to approach and knock on it.

Qin Feng said no more. The General Meng Luo outside the city was indeed no fool; as soon as he sensed that something was amiss, he immediately ordered a full-scale assault on the city. Even at the cost of more casualties among his soldiers, he aimed to swiftly eradicate this rebel army.

A member of the guard was roaring in anger, his armor already damaged in multiple places, and his battle robe was stained with blood. He was fiercely swinging his sword, knocking down two court soldiers who charged at him. More than twenty ladders had been set up on the city wall, and more court soldiers were scrambling to climb up the ladders.

This is the only way...

"Please leave a contact method, as there may be opportunities for collaboration in the future," said Qin Feng

Autumn Melody, how long have you been here

In that case, prepare the carriage and quickly bring over the vehicle used by the commander

What is going on?

By now, he understands that he may have been noticed by the other party for quite some time. Only after confirming that he is alone does he feel at ease to make contact with him

A few minutes later, Qin Feng carried the large suitcase out the door

Qin Feng shook his head, how could he know this?

When Qin Feng ascended the city wall amidst a throng of armored soldiers, what he beheld was a scene indistinguishable from a hell on earth.

As the vision flickered between light and darkness, when it finally restored, one found oneself in another time and space

At this moment on the city wall, flesh and blood are flying, and the sounds of killing resonate through the heavens

"Did you bring the things?" she asked indifferently

Therefore, the captain does not believe that the problem lies with him; the most likely scenario is that Zhao Yuanjin discovered the secret granary in the city, which allowed him to catch his breath.

The middle-aged woman cast a wary glance at him, and after some thought, she ultimately did not refuse.

In addition to the three guns and grenades, the remaining space in the box is filled with bullets, making the entire box quite heavy, which is rather strenuous for an average person to carry. Fortunately, there are pulleys underneath the box, so dragging it along is still manageable

A few days ago, the decision to encircle without attacking was due to the observation that the rebel forces were in an irretrievable decline, coupled with the presence of internal collaborators making secret contacts. In order to avoid excessive casualties among his troops, Meng Luo chose to remain patient and hold back. Now that the situation has changed, it is necessary to make alternative plans.

On the city walls, as the enemy forces outside were urgently attacking the city, the commander personally went to oversee the operations.

The autumn hues reveal an evident sorrow in the eyes; given the current situation, it is clear what kind of calamity the citizens within the city would face once the city is breached

The small vendors from both countries set up stalls on either side of the river. The vendors from the Baiyue Kingdom primarily offer local handicrafts, coffee, white tiger ointment, cigarettes, and various snacks, all accompanied by corresponding Chinese signage. Transactions can be conducted directly using Huaxia currency, and the prices are quite affordable

Arrows rained down like rain on the city wall, the sound of "puff puff" incessantly ringing in the ears, while the soldiers of the court below cried out in agony, falling one after another as they were struck by arrows. In that moment, they were unable to advance an inch.

The defending militia immediately sensed the unusual movements of the imperial army, and the alarm bells rang out. Troops surged onto the city walls in groups. Defensive equipment such as rolling logs, stones, molten metal, boiling oil, and jars of ash were hastily prepared, and a brutal battle was about to erupt

The autumn air sighed with relief and approached, saying: "The general has instructed that if you come out, I should take you to see him immediately."

The imperial army did not merely endure the blows without retaliating. A massive rock came crashing down with a roar, shaking the city walls and the ground tiles. Four or five sturdy laborers assisting in the defense were caught off guard and were directly crushed into a pulp, their bright red blood mingling with fragments of their innards, splattering everywhere.

One day later

"Oh, where is the governor now?" Qin Feng inquired

... ...

Although it is a border area, the signal here is good, and he quickly got in touch with the other party. He then followed the other party's instructions and walked nearly 100 meters outside, finally stopping in front of an inconspicuous gift shop. After observing the surroundings for a while, he walked inside.

In fact, the boundary between the two countries here is a river, and on the opposite side of an old stone bridge lies the territory of the Baiyue Kingdom. One can see the streets over there bustling with activity and noise, with groups of tourists continuously passing by, none of whom seem to notice him

Seven or eight cavalrymen galloped away, and before long, a beautifully decorated four-wheeled carriage approached, drawn by four tall, strong, and exceptionally spirited white horses.

Chief of Staff Zhu Yuntai observed his expression and coughed lightly, saying: "General, since the situation has changed, it is impossible to expect the rebel forces to collapse from within and surrender the city. It would be better to immediately dispatch troops to attack the city and capture this isolated stronghold as soon as possible, so that the army can free up resources to assist other counties."

Alright, take me there

He took out his phone to check the time, and without hesitation, he hailed a taxi and headed straight for the border town

He is not very concerned about being monitored or anything like that. Since this is a trading location carefully chosen by the other party, it is naturally impossible for there to be any surveillance cameras or similar devices

Meng Luo slammed the table heavily, feeling increasingly irritated. The urgent documents from the surrounding counties came one after another, and the pressure from the Ministry of War in the court was also mounting. How much more time could he afford to waste here

Another world

Outside the residence of the governor, a group of soldiers had also been waiting for a long time, and surprisingly, the leader was Su Mu

Peeling back two layers of bubble wrap, Qin Feng finally saw what he had been looking for: two Beretta 92FS 9mm pistols, a classic firearm that is widely used by the United States Army, Navy, and Air Force. There was also an M16 automatic rifle, its smooth metal body glinting with a faint cold light, appearing to be brand new. In addition, there were four military grenades.

The blue and white striped passenger aircraft landed at the airport in the border city. Dressed in a fresh outfit, Qin Feng exited the cabin, mingled with the crowd of passengers as he descended the stairs, passed through security, and finally walked to the outside of the airport terminal.

After walking a short distance and noticing that no one around was paying attention to him, Qin Feng swiftly turned into a nearby alley. When he emerged again, his hands were empty, as the box had already been thrown into the dimensional space.

He picked up each of the guns to inspect them, and only after confirming that there were no issues did he nod in satisfaction

Qin Feng glanced over and realized that she was the personal maid sent to him by Zhao Yuanjin, which slightly eased his mind

Meng Luo sighed, it is merely a matter of more people dying, and there is nothing that can be done about it

In the luxurious and elegant room, it was quiet. Qin Feng changed his clothes and then walked out of the room

The next steps were simple: I found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes to satisfy my hunger, and then returned to the hotel. After washing up and rinsing my mouth, I locked the door securely.

Immediately, a series of commands were swiftly issued, and the entire camp erupted like boiling water, bustling with activity. Amidst the deep and rhythmic sound of drums, squads of soldiers in shining armor moved out in an orderly fashion, pushing various siege engines as they advanced towards the city walls.

He stared coldly at the military lieutenant in charge of intelligence affairs and questioned, "Wasn't it said that the city was about to run out of food and that the morale of the rebel troops was waning? How is it that food has suddenly appeared? Moreover, that Zhao Yuanjin has taken the opportunity to stabilize the situation in the city. How exactly are you handling this matter?"

... ... Shoot the arrow!

The middle-aged woman examined the surroundings with familiarity, nodded, then turned and dragged out a large, dusty leather suitcase from beneath the adjacent bed, and opened it in front of him

After several hours of effort, Qin Feng successfully arrived at the agreed location, found a reasonably good hotel, checked into a room, and then stepped out carrying a black backpack

This shocking scene had become a common sight for the soldiers present, while Zhao Yuanjin nearby remained composed, directing and commanding without even furrowing his brow.

In military campaigns, provisions are of utmost importance. Therefore, it is impossible to hastily draw conclusions regarding critical intelligence in this area. It is essential to integrate information obtained from various channels, distill the essential details, analyze and summarize the data, and then verify it repeatedly before arriving at a final conclusion, which must be reported to the commanding general for awareness

The gentleman has arrived? Very well, let us go to the city wall now. Can you ride a horse?" he said anxiously

Qin Feng had no interest in appreciating the local customs and culture. He walked into a shop, pretended to browse and select products, and took out his phone to start sending messages.

In a somewhat narrow space, the owner of the gift shop was bowing his head, playing on the computer behind the counter. A middle-aged woman, unremarkable in appearance and holding a baby, came over and gave Qin Feng a glance, signaling him to follow her to the back lounge.

Young master, you have finally awakened

The interior is somewhat cluttered, with the lighting appearing slightly dim. There is a bed and a few simple pieces of furniture, along with numerous unopened small items, all packed tightly.

Su Mu politely invited Qin Feng to get into the carriage, and with a single command, over a hundred cavalrymen surrounded the carriage and hurried towards the city gate

Qin Feng silently placed the black backpack on the table, unzipped it, revealing bundles of red hundred-yuan bills inside

The face of the officer was somewhat pale, and he wiped away a cold sweat as he explained: "The situation is also very confusing for us. We have sent more than one group of scouts into the city, and there are not just one or two rebel officials who have been secretly communicating with our army. Additionally, there are those wealthy families in the city; the messages they sent all indicated that the rebels' supplies had run out and their downfall was imminent. Who would have thought..."

Outside the city, in the large camp, Meng Luo, with a resolute and composed expression, read the confidential report that had just been delivered to him, and his face instantly darkened to a terrifying degree

According to the other party, it was people from the Baiyue Kingdom who crossed the border to trade with them, but the truth of this matter remains unknown. Of course, Qin Feng is not worried about being deceived; if he encounters trouble that is difficult to handle, he can simply activate his ability to traverse time and space and take refuge in another realm for a while

It is worth mentioning that there are particularly many motorcycles on the streets there, which are the primary means of transportation for the local people. As one walks along, the incessant roar of noisy engines fills the air

As a young man, Qin Feng has always had a considerable interest in the military field, possessing a substantial understanding of the commonly used weapons and equipment of various countries' armed forces, particularly the information regarding light weapons, which he is quite familiar with. Unfortunately, he had never had the opportunity to handle the real items until now, when his wish has finally been fulfilled
