The next morning.
Lin Feng's camp
Lin Feng had woken up a few minutes ago and was feeling sore all over his body. He could not move for one minute without trying to touch and massage his sore muscles.
Just as Lin Feng sat down and finally found a good sitting position and was about to start eating he saw a messenger from the corner of his eye. Seeing the messenger Lin Feng chose to ignore him since it was morning and he chose to overtrain the past few days because of his anger.
The messenger seeing that Lin Feng still did not stand up to greet him and welcome him was displeased at Lin Feng for his barbaric actions and manners.
The messenger sneered and ignored his rude behavior.
"Commander Lin Feng please go to the general's camp there is a meeting being held."
Hearing this Lin Feng groaned irritably nodded and ignored the messenger.
Seeing Lin Feng did not bother to answer him the messenger hmphed and just left.
Lin Feng thought that no one would be there early so he stayed in his position for almost half an hour before leaving for the general's camp.
...
Arriving at the meeting camp Lin Feng found that almost seventy percent of the commanders had already arrived.
seeing this Lin Feng found it odd since rarely anybody usually arrived early for the general's meetings they would start coming an hour to two hours later.
...
General Qing Huan was furious upon seeing Lin Feng walking relaxedly into the meeting camp without any worries but he calmed himself down there is no need to get angry at a dead man.
"Commander Lin Feng why are you late you were supposed to be here half an hour ago but let us not bother with that matter."
Finishing this general Qing Huan gave an Oscar-worthy facial expression and sigh then said to Lin Feng "I have been thinking the last few about what you said the other day and I have to admit I might have been wrong."
Hearing this Lin Feng held his breath for what was coming this might change his life moving forward.
"Lin Feng if I had a choice I would promote directly to a 1000 man commander but that would be unfair to other commanders. but..." General Qing Huan paused here to cause tension in the hearts of Lin Feng and the unknowing commanders.
Hearing a but Lin Feng was excited after all a but can only be in between good and bad if it starts with bad it can not end with bad or vice versa or at least that is what I believe.
But if Lin Feng had decided to look around or inspect the commanders and nobles he would find the powerful ones were smirking sinisterly or gazing contemptuously at him.
"You have to prove yourself worthy. You are going to go solo on a mission and will fight a barbarian tribe with around the same amount of men as yourself."
Hearing this Lin Feng found it suspicious how can the general be so kind to him or is what commander Ying Zheng said true no, no no this must be a trap.
Seeing Lin Feng fighting himself inside general Qing Huan smiled kindly to bring an end to this whole pretending.
"Hahahaha commander Lin Feng do you think this is easy even though they might have around 360 to at most 450 men they might be able to overpower 900-man troops so I would suggest against it since it is not worth fighting barbarians alone for some position."
Hearing this the mental barriers in Lin Feng's mind finally collapsed giving a human being a fake weakness or a fake disadvantage will make them lower their guard since they will believe you are trustworthy and it will take their mind off the true disadvantage or trap.
After all, being perfect is the most imperfect state in the eyes of humans since it will create envy and tension. A human being should try to make himself reveal a few of his relatable weaknesses or better yet create a fake relatable weakness.
"No, I will definitely go general." Lin Feng answered in a firm tone.
General Qing Huan sighed and said "Alright you leave now here is the location of the tribe you are going to be fighting and I will give you a piece of advice sneak attack them at night because I do not believe you can beat them head on and if you can not beat them retreat nothing is better than the survival of our army and I do not wish to lose a talented commander. I believe I talked too much I will send someone to give you the map and follow the map it shows the highs and the lows it is an advantage to you and your men."
Just as Lin Feng was leaving he heard general Qing Huan's voice "do not attack those tribes that have been marked they are our allies."
Lin Feng just paused for a moment with his back facing the commander.
On Lin Feng's side of the story, he did not believe he was being disrespectful he just did not want to spend the extra effort for turning back one second just to go back to the way he was in fact he believed he was being respectful.
When everyone saw that Lin Feng left they snorted and all unaffiliated powers just left but before they all left the general gave the map and a letter of dos and don'ts to a random commander to give it to Lin Feng.
Just as the commanders were leaving a man with dusty and dirty clothes with a messenger tag came into the camp and ran until he was near general Qing Huan and bowed while trying to regain his breath and handing over the letter he was given.
Seeing this general Qing Huan took it and read it.
The more the general read the letter the more the room almost descended into hell.
A certain commander came to the messenger and held him by his clothes and asked "You how dare you forge such a rebellious letter."
"I swear sir everything is true I did not touch the seal it is still there. It is true the states are rebelling against the King."
