Chapter 1306 No Disarming, No Entry into the City
Lin Feng asked disdainfully, "Kid, can you bear the charge of sabotaging the peace talks?"
Heng Wuche retorted, "Kid, it's you who sabotaged the peace talks."
Lin Feng glanced at the few followers behind Heng Wuche. One of them, who was probably a general, was staring nervously at Lin Feng and occasionally glancing at the straight sword that Heng Wuche was holding in the air.
Lin Feng softened his tone: "Let me confirm again, if we don't dismount and surrender, does that mean this peace talk can't continue?"
After he said this, his eyes swept over everyone, including Heng Wuche.
The pirate, equipped with the general's gear, opened his mouth but made no sound.
Heng Wuche firmly stated, "That's it. No one is allowed to enter the city without surrendering their weapons."
Lin Feng glanced at Heng Wuche with disdain.
"Fuck you, I'm not talking anymore."
After saying that, he flicked the reins and was about to turn back.
Heng Wuche was furious. Knowing that Lin Feng was cursing him again, he tightened his grip on the straight sword and slashed down instantly.
"don't want..."
Finally, the general following Heng Wuche spoke up.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Heng Wuche's straight blade flashed with a cold light and slashed fiercely toward Lin Feng's head.
The slash was so fast that it caught everyone off guard and surprised both sides.
In the blink of an eye, blood splattered, and a head, along with an arm holding a knife, flew into the air.
Everyone looked closely and saw Heng Wuche's headless body sway on the warhorse and then crash to the ground.
A collective gasp rippled through the air from both sides.
Even the pirate followers right in front of him didn't see clearly how Lin Feng moved. He didn't even draw his sword before their leader's head flew off and his body fell to the ground.
Lin Feng turned his gaze to the pirate in military uniform, a half-smile on his face.
"General, shouldn't this guy who sabotages the peace talks die?"
As he spoke, he slowly raised one hand into the air.
Immediately, the Taisho cavalrymen heard a clashing sound of weapons clashing, and the warhorses paced restlessly, waiting for their masters to urge them on.
Feng Li, still uneasy, came to the front of the battle line, but did not approach it. He simply watched Lin Feng speak from the front of the line.
Unexpectedly, Heng Wuche drew his sword, only to have Lin Feng decapitate him with a single stroke, causing him to scream in alarm.
"Oh dear, oh dear, Your Excellency..."
Heng Wuche's followers, sitting on horseback, had recovered and were shouting loudly as they drew their weapons and spurred their horses toward Lin Feng.
Meanwhile, the archers lined up behind the pirates, ready to fire, looked completely bewildered.
In this situation, should we fire or wait for orders?
During the tense standoff, the military officer raised his arm and shouted loudly.
Upon hearing his shout, the three pirate knights who had rushed to Lin Feng immediately turned their horses to the side, leaving Lin Feng behind, and swerved to the side.
Lin Feng raised his arm, still smiling, without even glancing at the few pirate cavalrymen rushing past him.
His eyes were fixed on the pirate general.
"Alas, it is a pity that Lord Hengwu did not fully understand General Tokugawa's meaning. General Kikawa, please calm down."
Lin Feng then smiled and slowly lowered his arm.
He had long suspected that the man hiding behind Heng Wuche, judging from his demeanor and bearing, was not a deputy general.
If Taisho's negotiators, under pressure from Tsunetake Tetsu, were to abandon their warhorses and weapons, it would suit his purposes perfectly.
If things go wrong, he will step in to salvage the situation.
To the general's surprise, the Taisho Imperial Guard commander in front of him acted too quickly, catching him off guard and causing him to lose General Hengwu Che for nothing.
General Tokugawa's order was to treat the Taisho negotiation team well, without any additional conditions. Whoever came into contact with the Taisho negotiation team, no matter who it was, was responsible for leading the team into the city.
Anyone who dares to disrupt the peace talks will be dealt with according to military law.
Lin Feng felt in his heart that the pirates had exhausted all their options except for peace talks.
With no progress in the attack on Los Angeles and the powerful Zhenxi Army threatening their rear, anyone would be eager to unite one side to attack the other.
Therefore, both the Taisho court and the pirate leaders would do their utmost to facilitate this peace talk.
If any unreasonable demands or conditions arise during the contact process, it will not be in Tokugawa Iehira's mind.
Therefore, Lin Fengcai did not indulge the other party.
That's because the only person who wanted to sabotage the peace talks was Lin Feng himself.
A commotion ahead made Miao Changfeng's heart leap into his throat.
Soldiers frequently relayed messages from the front lines, providing the Prime Minister with firsthand intelligence.
Feng Li quickly approached Miao Changfeng and recounted the astonishing scene that had just unfolded, his voice trembling.
"Your Excellency, Mu Chuan is courting death. I believe..."
Upon hearing that Lin Feng had killed the enemy leader with a single blow, and that tensions were running high between the two sides, Miao Changfeng's heart sank to the bottom, and he sighed inwardly.
That's it, I'm finished as prime minister too.
I told you to intimidate the other person with your presence, not with a knife.
How could this seemingly shrewd Mu Chuan be so reckless?
Feng Li, standing beside him, felt a chill run through him, stood frozen in place, and couldn't utter a word.
Speaking of peace talks, sending military officers forward is tantamount to asking for a fight.
They thrive on chaos; how can they possibly shoulder the responsibility of peace talks?
Miao Changfeng turned his head to look at the Fengze River behind him, which remained as calm as ever.
This is their way back; it's uncertain whether they can safely escape back to the other side.
Just as the two were in despair, they suddenly felt the chaotic armies gradually calm down.
A soldier ran over quickly and reported loudly.
"Your Excellency, General Muchuan is negotiating with the pirates, and the two armies have not engaged in battle."
"Ok?"
Miao Changfeng and Feng Li looked up in confusion, staring ahead.
His eight hundred cavalrymen still stood at the front, showing no sign of charging.
There were no more arrows flying everywhere on the other side; it was much quieter.
What the hell?
"Continue the reconnaissance."
Miao Changfeng shouted in a deep voice.
The soldier knelt on one knee, bowed in agreement, and then got up and ran away.
Before the two armies, the pirate general, imitating the righteous man, bowed with his hands clasped in salute.
"I am Hojo Nobunari, the messenger before General Tokugawa. I have been here to welcome the Taisho peace negotiation team for a long time. Just now, it was Tsunetake Tetsu who acted on his own. Please forgive me, General."
Lin Feng nodded to himself; this was the right attitude.
These pirates are despicable; they don't know their place unless you teach them a lesson.
"Very well, then please lead the way, General Hojo, and guide my Taisho peace negotiation team into the city."
"Of course, please form a team and follow behind us."
Hojo Nobunari's daimyo spoke fluently, and the two communicated without any hesitation.
Lin Feng spurred his horse back to the front of the troops and ordered the entire team to change from a charging formation to four columns, following behind the thousand pirate infantrymen, and slowly advancing.
Miao Changfeng and Feng Li followed behind the group and came to Lin Feng, who was waiting on one side of the group.
No one spoke, but Miao Changfeng silently gave Lin Feng a thumbs up, his appreciation evident in his words.
This powerful figure in the underworld had never admired anyone so much before.
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Feng Li became much more respectful.
Fengping County is more than 200 li away from Fu'an Prefecture. It is already dark today, so it is not suitable to march at night.
After consulting with Hayashi, Hojo Nobunari ordered the troops to camp on the spot.
