Chapter 242 The ancient version of the soft rice man 27
Xiao Linfeng woke up and found himself in a dark dungeon, surrounded by a cold and damp environment.
But at this time, he was tied to the wooden board with five flowers and his mouth was blocked. He could only make whimpering sounds and tried to break free. However, his hands were tied tightly and he could not move at all.
He wanted to kick the iron fence with his feet, but found that the iron fence was very thick, like a steel plate. No matter how hard he kicked, he could not break it, and instead kicked his leg.
Xiao Linfeng felt resentful in his heart. Of course he knew that he and Zhang Caiying might have been caught, otherwise she would not have ended up in this situation.
Although Xiao Linfeng's body was tied, his mind was still clear. He thought in his heart that he was tied up in this cage now and would definitely not be able to get out, but he was not panicked.
He thought of Zhang Caiying, that charming woman. Now that the Zhenguo General's Office had discovered that he was having an affair with Zhang Caiying, he estimated that the Zhenguo General's Office would definitely shift all the responsibility to him.
By then, he would have enough excuses to ask to marry Zhang Caiying, and he believed that Zhang Caiying's parents would definitely agree.
"Xiao Linfeng, you wake up!"
Just when Xiao Linfeng was lost in thought, a familiar voice sounded in his ears. Immediately afterwards, he saw Zhang Caiying walking in and reaching out to remove the thing that blocked his mouth.
"Caiying, are you okay?"
Xiao Linfeng had already thought about what to do, but he just pretended to care about Zhang Caiying.
Zhang Caiying shook her head and said: "I'm fine, it's just that I am locked up here by my father just like you..." Zhang Caiying looked aggrieved: "Xiao Lang, since something like that has happened to the two of us, then you should ask me
Can my parents ask to marry me?"
Xiao Linfeng secretly smiled in his heart and pretended to be very scared: "Caiying, you are the daughter of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and I am just a poor boy with nothing. How could your father and your mother agree to my marrying you...
…”
Zhang Caiying waved her hands quickly: "No, no, my father and mother will definitely be willing."
In the end, Xiao Linfeng half-heartedly agreed to Zhang Caiying. Although General Zhang was not willing to let his daughter marry a poor boy, what could he do? His daughter had lost her virginity and the news spread throughout the capital. If he did not marry Xiao Linfeng
No one will marry her.
The queen in the palace originally wanted the emperor to marry Zhang Caiying to her biological second prince, but she did not expect that this would happen.
The Queen was very optimistic about Zhang Caiying at first, but now she is very disappointed with her.
When the wind blew by his pillow, the emperor's impression of the people in the Zhenguo General's Mansion was not good.
Huo Yu took this opportunity to lead his close colleagues to sow the emperor's opinion of General Zhang in the court. Soon the power of the Zhenguo General's Mansion in the court began to weaken.
Of course, Zhenguo General Mansion is also a century-old family, so some things have to be done slowly.

In mid-October, foreign invasions from the Western Regions became more and more frequent and began to attack the border areas. Many border soldiers could no longer resist, and the emperor had to send Huo Yu to take charge.
Wan Yang took this opportunity to communicate with Wan Ye and decided to take the Wan family caravan and Huo Yu to the desert.
When Huo Yu heard this, he felt a little hesitant. After all, the battlefield was ever-changing and there were many unforeseen things. It was difficult for him not to think about Wanyang's comfort. However, thinking of Wanyang's high martial arts skills and the protection of the Ghost Fire Sect, he reluctantly agreed.
Come down.
Huo Yu led 100,000 soldiers and horses from the capital, and Wanyang followed behind with the Wan family's caravan. The couple rarely stayed with Huo Yu except at night.
Along the way, the Wan family caravan and Huo Yu's army encountered many dangers, but they were all resolved by Wan Yang and Huo Yu without causing much damage.
At the end of November, Huo Yu led his army into the desert. The danger of the trip had also increased. He had to be more cautious and not make mistakes.
Afterwards, Huo Yu led an army of 100,000 to station in Liancheng. When the people of Liancheng saw that the imperial court had sent troops, they felt relieved from the panic of war.
Moreover, they are all wearing armor and holding spears and shields in their hands. Their intimidating power cannot be ignored.
At this time, Wanyang and Huo Yu were looking into the distance on the city wall. Their eyes did not blink, because their gazes were already locked in the distance.
There is the camp where the Xiliang Army of the Western Regions is stationed. The Xiliang Army is in a mountain range on the northwest border. They have set up a large number of tents on the mountain and several simple watchtowers.
There is a dark cave entrance above the watchtower, and many archers are placed near the cave entrance. Next to these archers, rows of soldiers stand, each holding a crossbow in his hand, pointing forward, vigilantly.
Watch the situation around you.
"If you send someone to the enemy's camp to inquire about the enemy's situation, you should pay attention to this place." Wan Yang pointed to the enemy's watchtower and said to Huo Yu.
Huo Yu nodded and said: "I have already asked the soldiers to investigate. If there is any situation, report it immediately. This time I will personally lead the troops to investigate."
Wanyang said: "You must be careful!"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Huo Yu took Wanyang's hand and smiled.
Huo Yu and Wanyang watched for a while on the watchtower, and then he asked the guards to deliver the bowls back to the residence of the Wan family's caravan.
And he himself had hundreds of soldiers, quietly lurking behind the Western Region Army.
The Western Territory Kingdom's army has about 90,000 people, of which there are only more than 60,000 cavalry and more than 30,000 infantry. This kind of force is relatively small, but they have a very strange military quality.
These people wear blue hats on their heads and white gauze scarves hanging around their waists. Their clothes are very neat and they are tall and tall.
Their military literacy was very strong, and they were not frightened by the large army coming to support from the city ahead and did not dare to act rashly. They just surrounded the camp and stared at the surroundings with vigilance, and from time to time there were people patrolling the camp.
They discovered it as soon as Huo Yu's army appeared.
The news reached the camp of the Xiliang general and immediately triggered a discussion.
"Someone is here, who is it?"
"It looks like it's Huo Yu. I've seen his portrait, and that person is indeed Huo Yu."
"Why did he appear in this place? Does he know that we have arrived here? Is he here to die?"
"No matter what, we must kill him. We must not let him leave here alive."
A man who looked like an army lieutenant general shouted loudly. His voice was so loud that the entire military camp shook.
Upon hearing his words, all the soldiers drew their swords and stood ready for battle.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yu had a sneer on his lips and ordered the people he brought over to retreat quietly.
Now that we know the strength of the opponent's troops, we should return to Liancheng and stand ready.
