At night, Chu Feng led the Eighteen Crimson Blood Cavalry to the county government's banquet and was warmly welcomed by County Magistrate Zhu.
"Welcome our Lian County's young hero.”
County Magistrate Zhu stood outside the gate of the county government, leading the county lieutenant, county magistrate, and other officials to welcome him.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he watched Chu Feng and the others arrive empty-handed.
They didn't even bring their weapons. They didn't know if they were naive or bold.
However, this was also good. It saved him the trouble of having to think of a reasonable reason to make them remove their weapons.
"Zhu Mingting praises me too much. Feng, I don't deserve the name of a hero.”
Chu Feng shook his head with a smile. He was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
County Magistrate Zhu laughed and said," The Southern Xiongnu invaded the territory of the Han Dynasty and slaughtered the people of the Han Dynasty. The governor is busy resisting the Yellow Turban bandits and has no time to be distracted.
Fortunately, a young hero appeared in Lian County, leading the victims to resist the South Xiongnu army and stop them from looting and slaughtering further south.
I wait for the people of the county to thank the hero for what he did.”
"Zhu Mingting is too serious. We just want to live.”Chu Feng said indifferently.
County Magistrate Zhu nodded and asked again,"By the way, do you know the name of the hero?"”
"My name is Chu Feng." said Chu Feng.
"Hero Chu, the banquet is ready. Please follow me.”County Magistrate Zhu said with a smile.
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Chu Feng nodded and said to Li Lao Er and the others,""Wait outside the residence."
" Hero Chu," County Magistrate Zhu quickly said." These are your guards. They are also the heroes who killed the Xiongnu cavalry. Come in."”
"Isn't this too disturbing to the Ming court?”said Chu Feng.
"No, we respect heroes very much.”County Magistrate Zhu said with a smile.
"Since that's the case, let's go together.”
Chu Feng said to Li Lao Er and the others.
"Yes."
Li Lao Er and the others replied in unison.
After entering the residence, everyone took their seats. County Magistrate Zhu raised his wine glass and said in a clear voice,"Hero Chu, I am the father and mother of Lian County, but I am unable to send troops to defend against the Xiongnu cavalry.
Fortunately, Hero Chu helped Lian County out and saved them from a bigger disaster. This cup of wine is for you.”
"Zhu Mingting praises you too much."
Chu Feng raised his wine cup and clinked it with County Magistrate Zhu's.
"Hero Chu is a good drinker."
County Magistrate Zhu's eyes flashed. He poured another cup and raised his glass."Now, the 30,000 strong army of the South Xiongnu is stationed outside the north gate. Whether we can defend the county and repel the enemy will all depend on Hero Chu.”
Chu Feng raised his wine cup and downed it in one gulp.""To resist the Southern Xiongnu army, I'm far from enough. I need Zhu Mingting's cooperation.”
"Of course. It is my duty to protect the city.”County Magistrate Zhu said forcefully.
"Hero Chu, you're young and promising.”
The county magistrate, county lieutenant, and some other officials came to propose a toast.
Chu Feng didn't refuse any of them and drank it all in one gulp.
In his later life, he drank high-concentration white wine that was over 50 degrees Celsius. Now, drinking the wine of this era was no different from drinking plain water.
For him, the alcohol content of these wines was too low.
Unfortunately, County Magistrate Zhu and the others did not know this.
Chu Feng pretended to be drunk and couldn't even open his eyes.
County Magistrate Zhu seemed to be a little drunk as well. He stood up with his wine cup in hand and wanted to walk over to Chu Feng, but his body was swaying.
"Brother Chu, your alcohol tolerance isn't good.”
As he was walking, he accidentally knocked into the table. The wine glass in his hand slipped and fell to the ground with a thud.
At that moment, countless terrifying killing intents emerged from the dark corners around them.
A group of people dressed in Han Chinese clothing, but with faces that were different from Han Chinese, rushed out.
"Southern Xiongnu?"
Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, but he didn't panic.
"What are you guys doing?"
County Magistrate Zhu was still pretending not to know these Southern Xiongnu people and questioned them angrily.
The other officials did not panic. Clearly, they already knew about this plan.
They were not as good at pretending as County Magistrate Zhu.
"We came here today to kill Chu Feng and have nothing to do with anyone else.”
The person in the lead spoke rather fluent Chinese and looked at Chu Feng with unconcealed killing intent.
Among the hundred Xiongnu commanders Chu Feng had killed, one of them was his younger brother.
His hatred for Chu Feng was much stronger than any other Xiongnu.
Chu Feng had a faint smile on his face as he said disdainfully,""A bunch of rats. They don't dare to fight me head-on, so they can only use such despicable methods.”
"No matter what method I use, as long as I can kill you, it's fine.”
The leader of the South Xiongnu said coldly.
Chu Feng sneered and looked at Magistrate Zhu, who was still pretending to be drunk. He said coldly,""A group of Southern Xiongnu people can enter the county government without a sound? If that was the case, why would they send 30,000 troops?
Also, you're the only one who knows how to pretend. The others are much more honest than you.”
When County Magistrate Zhu heard this, he understood that there was no need to pretend anymore. His drunkenness instantly disappeared without a trace. He smiled and said,"So Brother Chu has been pretending to be drunk with me?”
"Likewise." Chu Feng said with a smile.
Looking at his calm expression, County Magistrate Zhu felt inexplicably uneasy.
Could it be that his plan had been discovered long ago?
But if he was discovered, why would he still attend the banquet?
Did he really think that a dozen unarmed men like them could safely escape from the siege of fifty to sixty Southern Xiongnu soldiers?
"Kill him."
County Magistrate Zhu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
He didn't want to drag it out any longer. He had to end the battle quickly to avoid any more trouble.
"Kill them!"
The leader of the South Xiongnu also gave the order to kill.
Chu Feng coldly snorted. He reached under the table and pulled out a spear.
With a flick of his wrist, the spear pierced through the chest of a Xiongnu man like a flood dragon.
"This is impossible. How can you have a weapon?”
County Magistrate Zhu was shocked. He had already carefully observed Chu Feng and the others before coming in but didn't find any weapons.
Moreover, such a long spear could not be hidden even if he wanted to.
How could he know that Chu Feng could store weapons in the system space?
Although the System Space wasn't very big, it was still enough to store a dozen weapons.
Just as he reached under the table, he had already quietly taken out his weapon. The Instant Spear appeared in his hand, and the weapon of the Eighteen Blood Red Knights was placed on the ground.
The Eighteen Blood Red Riders quickly bent down to pick up the broadsword from the ground. Like a group of tigers that had just come out of their cages, they pounced on their prey angrily.
Soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles were definitely the best in the army.
However, in front of a trump card special army like the Eighteen Blood Red Knights, it was simply not enough.
"Block the exit!"
Chu Feng shouted angrily. The 18 Scarlet Blood Cavalry quickly rushed to the exit and killed one or two of them.
Dozens of Xiongnu were trapped in the banquet hall and slaughtered by Chu Feng and the 18 Scarlet Blood Cavalry.
County Magistrate Zhu and the other officials of Lian County were all stunned.
