In the great hall of the taiwai Residence in the Forbidden City, Lord Taishang Chen Song was celebrating the conclusion of the victory in exterminating the bandits. The sixteen country bumpkins from the seven counties had all gathered in one place. Zhang Dazui, Wu Dazhi, Wang Laosan and Liu Ergou, along with the rest of the larger bandits, had already been exterminated.

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.

Although it was a feast of the taiwai Palace, the cooking method was rather simple. Basically, there were only two methods: cooking and cooking, only vegetables were stir-fried. When it was served, the meat was chunks of meat that were steaming hot. It was quite appetizing.

To the modern world, this kind of wild food was very rare. Yang Lin was not courteous at all and just like them, he started to eat it big mouthfuls. He had even eaten breakfast at Yang Mansion in the morning, and 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. Thinking about it, there were still no chili peppers or chili peppers, it seemed that he needed to pay more attention in the future, it would be easy to spread around when he meets these plants.

However, the degree of the wine was very low. To Yang Lin who was in the business, this was not even considered wine, or perhaps more accurately, it was equivalent 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 one to exterminate the bandits, and you even went up to the battlefield, exterminating all of the Dark Dragon Mountain's Mouth's bandits. Come, come, This Official offers you a cup. "

Chen Song was obviously very excited, as he took the initiative to toast to 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.

"Lord Taishang is too serious. This time, the only reason we are going to eliminate Zhang Dazui is because Chen Ze has the authority to command him and is taking the lead. If we are to say that they have rendered meritorious services, it should be because of them. "

Yang Lin was extremely familiar with these words, as long as he got any results, the leaders would definitely be able to work well, and the comrades would work together, and as for him, he had only done what he should. Furthermore, he had to thank this and that. He owed them a lot of favors for his achievement.

"Hehe, Master Yang is so modest."

With regards to Yang Lin's explanation, Chen Song felt that it was extremely novel and couldn't help but laugh. Yang Lin gave the credit to his son, allowing him to feel at ease. However, he understood Yang Lin's intentions. As a landowner, what could he do with all that contribution? He looked at Yang Lin and thought of what his son had said.

"Master Yang, I heard that you are going to bring those villagers to Youzhou and build another Yang Family Villa. I know that the Youzhou is cold and desolate, with a small population and rampant Hu Ren. Don't you fear that Hu Man will invade your villa? "

"Master, no matter how cold and desolate the Youzhou is, it is still the land of my big man. If everyone is afraid of the Hu people and comes to the Central Plains, wouldn't the population of the Youzhou become fewer and fewer?"

Hearing Chen Song's words, Yang Lin could not help but feel a little angry. In such a big Youzhou, the population was only about the same as a county of the Lunan. As the number of barbarians increased, in the end the barbarians even occupied the main position of the Youzhou, and the Han Chinese almost went extinct due to the chaos.

"My lord, this is exactly what I want you to help me with. This time when we go to Youzhou, we have 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 will definitely meet with the officials investigating, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I think we will use the name of The soldiers of the prefectural city of Zhuang. The reason they sent these villagers to the Youzhou was also to ensure the longevity of the Forbidden Land of Martialism.

"Master Yang's words are true. However, selling horses and buying land under the banner of the The soldiers of the prefectural city of Zhuang does not seem appropriate. 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, but waited for the other squire to leave and asked to see the Lord Taishang again. Chen Song was also a considerate person, but when he saw that Yang Lin had come back to find him, he guessed that Yang Lin must have something important to do, so he asked the servant to bring Yang Lin to the study room.

"Master Yang came back, is there anything important?"

"There is indeed something important."

Yang Lin took away the weapons and equipment from the Forsaken Kingdom's treasury, as well as a group of soldiers. Although he had taken He Yi, He Man, Liu Pi, Gong Dou and the others away, it was hard to say if there were any other xanthopanax s. If the xanthopanax were to harm Chen Song at that time, how could Yang Lin endure it?

"Lord Taishang, in these years, there have been many disasters, and in the imperial court, the eunuchs have the exclusive authority, causing the refugees to be everywhere, the citizens to not 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 feel that something is amiss, I wonder if Lord Taishang thinks so? "

Chen Song raised his head, and looked at Yang Lin seriously. As a prefectural official, he was very clear about the ways of the prefectural affairs of the Forbidden City. However, he did not put Yang Lin's words to heart, instead, he felt that Yang Lin was making a big fuss over nothing.

"Master Yang, you worry too much. The giant deer Zhang Jiao of the Jizhou had the title of 'Taiping Taoism', imparting to its disciples through spells and spells. It is nothing more than to make the sick kneel down and think. The This Official estimated that Zhang Jiao was a doctor, and water was a type of medicinal herb, which Zhang Jiao used as a divine medicine with a few incantations. Those citizens did not know the truth. When they saw that he was sick, they would pay their respects to Zhang Jiao and participate in 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 Lord Taishang remember Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? In order to start a war, they had written the words' Chen Sheng Wang 'on the silk silk 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 did not mind, Yang Lin started to become anxious. There were many history of peasant uprisings that used various kinds of superstitious pretences before starting. Some were even more similar to demonic sects, using them to focus on the common people. However, these could not be explained to Chen Song explicitly, and could only be used as examples by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

"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 then took two thousand sets of weapons and equipment from Chen Ze's hands and returned to Yang Mansion happily. After handing over the weapons and equipment to Yang Lei, he sprinted towards the left courtyard. He was prepared to do Hua Tuo's work 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 Mansion invited Hua Tuo to come here, first to treat the Madam and Young Miss, then to treat the young and strong, and then to treat the bandits' injuries, Hua Tuo and his disciples never had the chance to leave the Yang Mansion. Right now, the young and strong were almost done with the bandits. Hua Tuo had also mentioned a few times that he wanted to leave, but Yang Lin had insisted on staying precisely to take him away.

Hua Tuo's medical skills were not ordinary, other than the ones where his arms and legs were chopped off, those injured youths and bandits 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 walked into the temporary ward, he saw that Hua Tuo was changing the medicine for the wounded. Seeing Yang Lin coming in, Hua Tuo did not stop either, he continued to busy himself. Yang Lin took the initiative to greet him. Only then did he look up at Yang Lin with an expression of confusion.

"Why is Master Yang free to come here?"

This Hua Tuo was busy from morning to night every day, and had almost no time to rest. If he wanted to talk to him alone, he probably wouldn't have a chance. Yang Lin looked at this temporary ward, and saw only his disciples and some youths, so Yang Lin decided to speak of it 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. As such, he wanted to invite Mr. Hua to toil for a while. 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 speak, his disciple Xiao Qing had blurted it out first, and was even speaking in a refined manner. Yang Lin could not help but turn and look at Xiao Qing, and saw that he was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had a delicate and pretty face, and although he was dressed in servant's clothes, he looked more like a girl.

"Heh heh, Brother Xiao Qing is overjoyed. 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 made Xiao Qing's face flush red. Xiao Qing immediately lowered his head and went back to his work, ignoring Yang Lin. Yang Lin couldn't help but think to himself that he was really a child, blushing red from just a few jokes. Hua Tuo raised his head and chuckled softly towards Yang Lin.

"Heh heh, Master Yang is such 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. The Yang Mansion Inner Palace was abnormally quiet under the moonlight. Yang Lin was already quite familiar with everything here;

Yang Lin slowly walked along the small path inside the Inner Palace, admiring the trees and flowers under the moonlight as he walked. Unknowingly, he reached the side of Lady Yang's courtyard. He raised his head and saw that the light in the Madam's room was still lit, so he casually walked in.

"Master is here."

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

"Sit down."

The Lady Yang said softly, gesturing for Yang Lin to sit down. Yang Lin sat down and raised his head to look at the Lady Yang. Seeing that her wife's expression was obviously somewhat gloomy, and that her eyes revealed a light grievance, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

"Madam, we are leaving the day after tomorrow. Yang Juan is too young, you can say that she is still a child. There are some things that I can only say to you. I've arranged everything at home, so there shouldn't be any problems. What I'm worried about the most right now is that there will be chaos in the prefectural city of Qu'an. If there really is one, I hope that Madam will remember that I don't need any money, land or even Yang Mansion. But Madam and Yang Juan are definitely protecting themselves, you are the only family I have in this world. "

Lady Yang raised her head, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, but she resisted the urge to cry. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She glanced at Yang Lin with a faint smile on her face, and said softly.

"If chaos truly does break out, can we move to the Darkfall Mountains?"

"Never. If anything went wrong, it was the first place in the realm to be struck. You guys stay in Yang Mansion, if anything happens, you can bring your servants 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 …"

Lady Yang looked at Yang Lin and sighed as he lowered his head. Finally, his tears couldn't help but drip like a string of broken pearls onto the embroidered cloth. 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 an instant, 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 clenched his fists tightly and became firm in 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. Moreover, the world was going to fall into chaos soon, even if he wanted to live a peaceful life, he would not be able to do so.

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

Yang Lin stood up, he did not dare to sit down, for he was afraid that his heart would soften for a moment, and that he would be completely drunk in love. No matter how many Hero and hero there were, they would not 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 Yang Lin stepped out of the room, Lady Yang suddenly stood up. He gently called out, causing Yang Lin's entire body to tremble, he raised his leg and stopped it in 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 to set off had finally come, but Yang Lin had met with big trouble. The sun had already risen and Yang Lin had not yet walked out of his room. Yang Juan held Yang Lin's neck tightly and pressed his entire body against his, preventing him from getting up.

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

"No."

Yang Lin had said this more than a hundred times, but it was completely useless. Yang Juan's answer was very simple. Even though Yang Lin had cracked his lips, it was useless. Yang Lin who was helpless could only laugh bitterly, he could not just push Yang Juan away and run.

"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 the most familiar with the footsteps, immediately got up and put on her clothes without Yang Lin nagging her. Yang Lin took the chance to climb up and quickly put on his clothes.
