Governor Chen's Visit
While Lin Fei was still lamenting, a personal guard ran over and knelt on the ground with one knee. He cupped his fists and said,"General, Governor Chen is outside the camp and wants to see you.”
"It's finally here!"
Lin Fei had long known that Mayor Chen would come back to see him, but he did not expect Mayor Chen to come only now. In his guess, Mayor Chen should have come to see him before the five families.
After all, he was the only power in Shandong that was not controlled by the Shandong aristocrats. As long as Governor Chen was not willing to be the puppet of the Shandong aristocrats, he would come to find him.
However, Governor Chen had only come to find him now. It seemed that he still had his concerns.
"Invite him in…Forget it, I'll go myself!" Initially, Lin Fei wanted to let his personal guard, Governor Chen, come in, but One Box felt that it was not appropriate. After all, Governor Chen was a high-ranking official. It would not make sense for him to let a personal guard pick him up.
Lin Fei saw Mayor Chen alone from afar. He didn't even have a coachman. The dignified Mayor was actually so shabby when he went out. It was obvious that he had no one around him to use. This was probably the reason why he hesitated to come to him now!
"This general was busy with military matters and did not welcome you. I hope Lord Prefect can forgive me.”Lin Fei came out of the camp and cupped his hands at Governor Chen.
Seeing that the leader was actually a twelve or thirteen year old child, Mayor Chen could not help but be secretly surprised, but he did not show it on his face.
"It's a good thing that General is busy with military matters. I'm just here to visit the soldiers who are about to fight the bandits, so I didn't dare to alarm General.”
Although Lin Fei was only twelve years old, Governor Chen did not dare to underestimate him.
"Governor Chen, you're treating me as an outsider. Come, let's go in and talk.”
After Lin Fei invited Governor Chen into the military camp, he began to introduce the military camp to him. Of course, it was only on the surface. He could not tell Governor Chen the real situation.
Governor Chen listened and nodded. He was also carefully observing everything in the military camp.
After Lin Fei finished introducing the basic situation, Governor Chen asked,"General, may I ask how the army managed to retrieve the stolen rations?”
"Don't worry, the food for the disaster relief will definitely not be cut off. In two days, I will bring the food to the front of the prefect's manor.”
"Two days?" Governor Chen looked at Lin Fei suspiciously. He did not believe that Lin Fei had snatched back the grain in two days.
He had been in Shandong for three years. Others might not know, but he knew very well that the Shandong aristocrats had run Shandong like a railway. It was easier said than done to snatch back that batch of grain in two days.
"Yes, it's two days. Lord Prefect, you can wait in peace in the residence. After two days, this general will definitely deliver the food.”
Lin Fei said two days, not because he wanted to show off, but because if he couldn't find the food in two days, the people in Shandong would rebel. At that time, Li Shiming would send an army to suppress them, and blood would flow like a river.
Lin Fei did not think that he was a good person, but he really could not suppress the people.
That was why Lin Fei thought that nothing would happen if he found the food in two days.
If he really couldn't find the food, he didn't mind brandishing his knife at the nobles in Shandong. They weren't good people anyway.
Governor Chen still did not believe it. He felt that Lin Fei would not be able to find food in two days under the obstruction of the Shandong nobles.
Therefore, Governor Chen was very disappointed. He had thought that the arrival of the Xuanwu Army was an opportunity, but he did not expect Li Shiming to send an ignorant child over.
At this moment, Governor Chen was no longer willing to talk to Lin Fei. After cupping his hands at Lin Fei, he turned around and left.
Looking at the footsteps of Governor Chen Lancang, Lin Fei did not stop him. He had been suppressed by the Shandong aristocrats for the past three years. He would not believe it if the food was not placed in front of him.
However, Lin Fei did not care. Regardless of whether Governor Chen believed it or not, he had to snatch the food back in two days. This was a military pledge he had made to himself and to the people.
If it didn't work, then he could only rely on the aristocrats in Shandong.
