C20 Ready to Go

In the great hall of the prefecture lord's manor, the Lord Prefect, Chen Song, was celebrating the conclusion of the battle. The sixteen nobles of seven counties were all gathered together. Zhang Dazhi, Wu Dazhi, Wang Lao San, and Liu Ergou had all been annihilated, leaving the entirety of the prefectural city of Zhan to breathe a sigh of relief.

The feast could be said to be very sumptuous, like wild lamb, wild boar meat, deer meat, black bear meat, wild chicken meat, rabbit meat, etc., etc., all of these were basically mountain game, many of them were people's prey. Of course, there were also fish and a few vegetables.

Even though it was a banquet held at the Residence of Great Defend, the cooking method was rather simple. Basically, there were only two ways to cook it: the steamed meat and the steamed meat. Only the vegetables were stir-fried. When it was served, the meat was chunks of meat that were steaming hot. It was quite appetizing.

For modern people, this kind of game was indeed rare. Yang Lin wasn't polite and ate big mouthfuls like them, without even the slightest sign of being a scholar. After having breakfast at the Yang Family's courtyard in the morning, his stomach was already growling with hunger.

With a few large pieces of meat as the base, Yang Lin gradually felt that the taste of the meat was too monotonous. With a few large pieces of meat as the base, Yang Lin gradually felt that the taste of the meat was too monotonous.

Drinking wine was also used in a large ceramic bowl, which had the heroic air of a hero of Liang Shan. However, the alcohol content was very low, and to Yang Lin who was in the business, this was not even considered wine, or more accurately, it was similar to beer. If he wanted to make a fortune, opening a winery was also a profitable business.

"Master Yang, this time, you were the first bandit and you personally went up to the battle and annihilated all the bandits of Dark Dragon Mountain with your big mouth. "Come, come, let me toast you."

Chen Song was very excited. He took the initiative to toast Yang Lin. Since ancient times, the problem of banditry had been plaguing the local officials, many of whom had been destroyed by bandits. Of course, there were also many officials who had obtained merits from the bandits' extermination and received the emperor's appreciation and advice.

This time, we completely annihilated Zhang Dazhi because of Chen Ze's ability to command and take the lead. With the combined efforts of the Xu Family Villa, the Li Family Villa, and the Wang Family Villa, we were able to eliminate all of the Zhang Dagao's bandits in one fell swoop. If we are to say that they have rendered meritorious services, it should be because of them. "

Yang Lin was very familiar with these kinds of words. As long as he got any results, it would definitely be because of the leadership of the organization, and the comrades would work together. As for him, he had only done what he needed to do. Furthermore, he had to thank this and that. He owed them a lot of favors for his achievement.

"Hehe, Master Yang is truly modest."

Hearing Yang Lin's words, Chen Song felt a sense of novelty and couldn't help but laugh. Yang Lin ascribed the credit to his son, which made him happy. However, he also understood Yang Lin's intentions. As a squire, what could he do with those merits? He looked at Yang Lin and remembered what his son had said.

"Master Yang, I heard you are going to bring those villagers to Youzhou to build another Yang Family Manor. "I know that the You Prefecture is cold and desolate, its population is sparse, and the Hu people are rampant. Aren't you afraid that the Hu people will invade your villa?"

"Lord, no matter how cold and desolate the You Prefecture is, it is still the land of my big man. If everyone is afraid of Hu Man and comes to the Central Plains, then wouldn't the You Prefecture's population become fewer and fewer?"

Hearing Chen Song's words, Yang Lin couldn't help but feel a little angry. In Youzhou, the population was only about the same as that of the Southern region. As time went by, the number of barbarians increased, and eventually, the barbarians occupied the majority of the population.

"My lord, this is exactly what I want you to help me with. This time, we are going to Youzhou to sell horses and buy land. In order to prevent the Hu from invading, he had to bring a lot of young and strong weapons with him. Along the way, we'll definitely meet with the government's investigation. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I think we'll use the banner of the prefectural army of Chu. "The reason why we sent these villagers to Youzhou was to ensure the longevity of the territory. I wonder if sire would agree with that?"

"Master Yang's words are true. However, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to sell your horses and buy land under the banner of the prefectural soldiers of Chu. However, I can send a team of soldiers to protect you along the way. As for the weapons and equipment, you can bring them along. "How about it?"

"That's good. Today is the sixteenth of the first month, so I plan to set off the day after tomorrow, which is around the eighteenth hour.

"No problem."

"Thank you, milord."

"..."

After the feast, Yang Lin did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he waited for the other squire to leave and once again requested to see Lord Grand Guard. Chen Song was also a thoughtful person. Seeing Yang Lin come back to look for him, he guessed that Yang Lin must have something important to do, so he called a servant to lead Yang Lin into the study.

"Master Yang, what matter do you have for your return?"

"There is indeed something important."

Yang Lin had taken away the weapon and equipment from Chen Ze's armory, and now he was taking away another batch of soldiers. Although he had taken He Yi, He Man, Liu Ping, Gong Du and the others away, it was hard to ensure that there wouldn't be other Yellow Scarves. If the yellow-robed youth army did harm to Chen Song, how could Yang Lin bear it?

"My Lord, there have been many disasters over the years, and the eunuchs in the imperial court have been given the exclusive right to rule over the land, causing the refugees to be everywhere, the citizens to not be able to live comfortably, and bandits to be everywhere. In these past few years, the Taiping Dao used spells and incantations to treat people everywhere. Many sick commoners began to heal without any effect after drinking his symbols, and more and more people began to pass through. A few days ago, the Taiping Road was filled with prophecies about the death of the heavens, the rise of the heavens when the sun shines, and the rise of the earth at the age of sixty. I just feel that something's not right. I wonder if Lord Protector thinks so? "

Chen Song raised his head and seriously sized up Yang Lin for a while. Of course, he was aware of all of this. As a prefectural official, he was well aware of the morals of the prefecture. He didn't care about what Yang Lin said. Instead, he thought Yang Lin was making a fuss over nothing.

"Master Yang, you are overthinking it." Jizhou giant deer Zhang Jiao Huang, old, with spells and spells taught disciples, known as the 'Taiping Dao'. It is nothing more than to make the sick kneel down and think. This official reckoned that the horn was a doctor, and the water was a kind of herbal medicine, which Zhang Jiao used as a divine medicine by chanting a few incantations. Those citizens didn't know the truth. When they saw that Zhang Jiao was cured, they would worship him and attend the 'Taiping Road'. Fortunately, the 'Taiping Dao' advised people to do good deeds, and there were no lack of tyrants, officials, eunuchs, etc., so what's there to worry about? "

"Does the Lord Marshal remember Chen Sheng and Wu Guang?" In order to start a war, they had written the words' Chen Sheng Wang 'on the silk cloth and placed it in the belly of a fish so that the soldiers could buy it back. Wasn't the Taiping Road nowadays filled with the words, "The heavens are dead, the sky is dead, the sky is dead, the sky is dead, the sky is alive and the earth is auspicious"? And this year is the sixty-year one, so adults have to be on guard.

Seeing that Chen Song didn't mind, Yang Lin couldn't help but be slightly anxious. Historically, many peasant uprisings started under the guise of various superstitions, and some were even similar to demonic sects, using them to focus on the common people. However, these could not be compared to Chen Songming.

"Oh, your words seem to make some sense. But based on these speculations alone, no one believed them. If I'm fine this year, wouldn't the Emperor blame me for bewitching the masses? "

"I do not wish for the Lord to go around and speak, but to remind the Lord to prepare himself. If something really happens, I can come up with a solution. "

"Hmm, how should I prepare it?"

"Your excellency may, in the name of exterminating the remaining evils of the bandits, order all the county courtiers and gentry to recruit and train the village men. "If there's nothing wrong, exterminating bandits is also a good thing. If there's really something going on, the lord can calm down at any time."

"That's a good idea."

"..."

Yang Lin once again took two thousand sets of weapons and equipment from Chen Ze's hands, and happily returned to the Yang Family's courtyard. After handing over the weapons and equipment to Yang Lei, he headed straight for the left courtyard. He was prepared to do the work of Hua Tuo so that Hua Tuo could follow him to Youzhou. When war broke out, who could guarantee that they wouldn't get hurt?

Ever since the Yang Family had invited Hua Tuo to treat his wife and daughter, and then the young men and bandits, Hua Tuo and his disciples never had the chance to leave the Yang Family's compound. Right now, Qing Zhuang and the bandits were almost completely fine. Hua Tuo had also wanted to leave a few times, but Yang Lin had insisted on staying in order to take him away.

Hua Tuo's medical skills were truly remarkable. Those young and strong people and bandits who were injured, apart from having their arms and legs chopped off, had all recovered completely. As for those who had their arms and legs chopped off, their wounds were almost healed, but they were on the verge of becoming disabled.

When Yang Lin entered the makeshift ward, Hua Tuo was changing the medicine for the wounded. Seeing Yang Lin walk in, Hua Tuo didn't stop and just continued busying himself. Yang Lin took the initiative to greet him. He then looked up at Yang Lin with a puzzled expression.

"Why is Master Yang free to come here?"

Hua Tuo worked from morning to night every day without any time to rest. If he wanted to talk to him alone, he probably wouldn't have a chance. Yang Lin looked at the makeshift ward. There were only a few young and strong disciples, so he decided to speak here.

"Mr. Hua, we will be going to Youzhou the day after tomorrow. With a few thousand people travelling together, it was hard to protect the road from any minor ailments. If they were to go out, they would be in trouble if they became ill. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Hua to take a trip, the salary is good. Mr. Hua can also take a look at the scenery of the desert. If you go to the prairie to look for medicinal herbs, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone? "

"What's there to look at in a desolate prairie? They're all barbarian barbarians, and I heard that they haven't cultivated yet." What's there to look at in a desolate prairie, I heard that they haven't cultivated yet.

Unexpectedly, before Hua Tuo could say anything, his disciple, Xiaoqing, rushed to speak first. Yang Lin couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Xiaoqing. He saw that she was around 15 or 16 years old, and had delicate features with a fair complexion. Although she wore the clothes of a servant, she still looked more like a girl.

"Haha, brother Little Qing, you're too full of yourself. In fact, the Hu people have a lot of places we can learn, their simple clothing, exquisite riding skills, we can all learn from them. Even the grassland is very beautiful, have you ever heard of it? The sky was pale, the fields were vast, and the wind blew grass and the sheep flitted about. The vast prairie was boundless, and only when a breeze blew and the waves of grass rose and fell, would cattle and sheep appear where the grasses went down. The yellow cattle, the white sheep, the east group, the west group, appearing and disappearing, everywhere. What a beautiful scenery this must be. "

"You made the prairie sound so beautiful, then why aren't the Hu people staying in the prairie and constantly coming to our place to snatch things?"

"Hehe, this is enough to make a human swallow an elephant. Han Chinese and Hu alike wanted to make other people's belongings their own. Just like us men, no matter how beautiful our wives are, we still think of other women, and always think of snatching all the beautiful women in the world to be our wives. "

"You …"

Yang Lin's words caused Xiaoqing to blush. Xiaoqing quickly lowered her head and went back to her work, no longer caring about Yang Lin. Yang Lin couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, he really is a child, just a few joke words and he was embarrassed to the point of blushing. Hua Tuo raised his head and laughed softly at Yang Lin.

"Hehe, Master Yang is truly a eloquent person, he has even moved my heart. However, I am not very interested in the scenery and remuneration of the prairie, and am actually very interested in the medicinal herbs of the prairie. As a doctor, the thing he cared about the most was patients and medicinal herbs. I've heard of many grassland medicinal herbs, but I don't have the opportunity to travel to the prairie. This is a good opportunity. "Then it's decided. I'll go with you the day after tomorrow."

"Alright, let's set off together the day after tomorrow."

"..."

The moon rose, quiet and serene, gentle and generous. Her silver platter of a face, through the willow, left a gentle smile. Under the moonlight, the inner room of the Yang family compound was abnormally quiet. Yang Lin was already quite familiar with everything here. Every blade of grass and tree was very familiar with each other.

Yang Lin slowly walked along the path in the inner chamber, admiring the trees and flowers under the moonlight as he walked. Unknowingly, he walked to the side of Mistress Yang's courtyard. He raised his head and saw that the light in her room was still on, so he casually walked in.

"Master is here."

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yang Yun came out with a lantern and welcomed Yang Lin to the second floor. Yang Lin walked into the Madam's room and saw that she was as usual embroidering something. This was probably the only good way for the ladies and ladies of this era to amuse themselves.

"Sit down."

Lady Yang softly said, indicating for Yang Lin to sit down. Yang Lin sat down and raised his head to look at Mistress Yang. He saw that Madam Yang's expression was clearly somewhat melancholy and her eyes revealed a faint sadness. His heart couldn't help but tighten as he suddenly felt the care and care of his family.

"Madam, we are leaving the day after tomorrow. Yang Juan is too young, and can be said to be a child. There are some things I can only tell you. I've arranged everything at home, so there shouldn't be any problems. My greatest fear now is that there will be unrest in the prefectural city of Qu'an. If there really is, I hope that Madam will remember that money is not needed, land is not needed, and even the Yang Mansion is not needed. "But Madame and Yang Juan must be protecting themselves. You are the only family I have in this world."

Mistress Yang raised her head, and her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, but she resisted the urge to cry. She took a deep breath and calmed down. She looked at Yang Lin, and instead revealed a faint smile as she softly said this to him.

"If there really is chaos, can we move to the prefectural city of Chu?"

"Never. In the event of chaos, the prefectural city of Chu was the first place to be affected. You will stay in the Yang Family compound. If anything happens, you will take your servant and hide on a nearby mountain. Those who caused trouble robbed only property and food. Let them snatch away those things. As long as there's someone here, we can reclaim as much of their belongings as we sow. "

"Sigh …"

Mistress Yang looked at Yang Lin and gave a long sigh. She could not hold back her tears from dripping onto the embroidered cloth like a string of broken pearls. In an instant, the fresh flower on the embroidered cloth was soaked in tears.

"Madam, don't be like this. How can I bear to go out when you say that?"

In that moment, Yang Lin wavered over his decision. He had a beautiful wife, vast lands, and a rich fortune. He could have lived a happy life, but was there a need to go out and fight for it? Moreover, the outside world was not interesting at all. Rather, it was full of danger. How could he grasp this world?

"NO!" Absolutely not! I have to go out and do it. "

Yang Lin tightly clenched his fists, firmly holding his confidence. The heavens had allowed him to be reborn once, so he must live a vigorous and vigorous life. Even if he had to act like a tyrant, he must not give up so easily. Besides, the world was going to fall into chaos soon. Even if he wanted to live a peaceful life, he couldn't. He had to fight for the sake of the people of the world.

"Madam, I'm leaving. Remember my words. Protect Yang Juan and yourself. "

Yang Lin stood up, he did not dare to sit down, he was afraid that his heart would soften for a moment, and he would be drunk in a warm and gentle country. No number of heroes or heroes would be able to pass this trial. A woman's gentleness could only serve as the motivation for one's own struggles, and could never become one's own bondage.

"Yang Lin!"

Just as one of Yang Lin's feet stepped out of the room, Mistress Yang suddenly stood up and lightly cried out. Yang Lin's entire body shuddered and his raised foot stopped mid-air. He hesitated for a moment, but eventually withdrew his foot and turned around to face his wife, smiling faintly.

"I... Yang Juan … We... I can't do without you! "

"..."

The day of departure had finally arrived, but Yang Lin had encountered great trouble. The sun had already risen. Yang Lin had yet to walk out of the room, but Yang Juan tightly held onto his neck and pressed her body against his, preventing him from getting out of bed no matter what.

"Darling, don't be like this. It's only been a few months. We can be together again."

"No."

Yang Lin had already said this more than a hundred times, but it was completely useless. Yang Juan's answer was very simple: no. Even though Yang Lin's lips were cracked, it was of no use. The helpless Yang Lin could only smile bitterly, he couldn't just push Yang Juan away.

"The old mistress is here."

At this moment, the servant girl outside shouted, and following that, the sound of footsteps could be heard approaching from afar. Yang Juan, who was most familiar with those footsteps, immediately blushed from shyness. Without Yang Lin's urging, she quickly got up and put on her clothes. Yang Lin took the opportunity to get up and quickly put on his clothes.
