At that moment, the soldiers who had gone out on a mission finally returned, weary but with good news: the refugees from other counties had also been properly settled!
The next morning, upon hearing this news, Lin Feng hurriedly wrote a letter detailing the situation and subsequent arrangements. He carefully sealed the envelope and sent it with a trusted messenger to Wu City, hoping that his father would quickly send someone over.
After completing this task, he did not dare to linger for even a moment. He led his team once again on the journey to Tongguan. Along the way, Lin Feng and his men traveled day and night without rest. After three full days and nights of exhausting travel, they finally arrived at Tongguan.
At this moment, both Lin Feng and the soldiers he led were utterly worn out and fatigued. Yet, despite their exhaustion, everyone still mustered their spirits and maintained a disciplined military appearance.
The guards at Tongguan spotted Lin Feng's figure from afar and immediately recognized the importance of this troop. A soldier rushed to report to the commanding general Lin Ting, saying, "General, an army has arrived outside!"
Hearing this, Lin Ting, who was discussing military matters with his deputy in the tent, stood up abruptly and asked anxiously, "What is it?"
The soldier replied breathlessly, "The Zhengbei General has arrived!"
Upon hearing the name Zhengbei General, a glimmer of surprise flashed in Lin Ting's eyes. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Quickly, let us go out of the city to welcome them!"
He then swiftly exited the tent, leading his men towards the city gate.
Meanwhile, upon reaching the foot of Tongguan, Lin Feng saw the crowd coming to greet him. He quickly dismounted and hurried forward.
Lin Ting approached him clad in armor, standing tall like a pine tree. His expression was stern yet dignified. His sharp brows and bright eyes conveyed a sense of calmness and courage forged through years of battle; his gaze was piercing as if it could see through one's heart. Though there were a few strands of white hair at his temples, they only added to his air of heroism.
Lin Ting strode towards Lin Feng and clasped his fists in salute. "Imperial Nephew, you have worked hard on your journey."
Lin Feng returned the gesture and said, "Uncle Emperor, there is no need for such formalities. If Father has sent me to the northern desert, I will still require Uncle Emperor's support for provisions."
Lin Ting nodded slightly. "With Imperial Nephew here, our brave soldiers will surely be invigorated."
Lin Feng methodically directed his soldiers to set up camp outside the city, urging everyone to take advantage of the time to rest and regroup. His sharp gaze swept across the surroundings, ensuring that everything was in order.
Although this was Lin Feng's first meeting with Lin Ting, there was no hint of awkwardness between them. Lin Ting was a tall and robust figure, walking with a steady and powerful stride, exuding an air of generosity and confidence.
With a hearty laugh, Lin Ting spoke, "Ha ha, my dear nephew! There’s no need to be so formal. Coming to Tongguan is like returning home!"
Lin Feng slightly bowed in response and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Emperor."
He privately mused that this Uncle Emperor had a rather open and easygoing personality, making him feel approachable. Lin Ting waved his hand dismissively and continued, "Come on, let’s head into the city together and catch up!"
With that, he took the lead and stepped toward the city, prompting Lin Feng to hurry after him.
