In order not to cause panic among the people and not to expose Yunzhou, Lin Ye, Xie Yunxi and the others dropped off outside a county town about thirty miles away from Yunzhou City, and took a horse-drawn carriage in the county town.
Lin Ye and the others had just arrived at the gate of the city when they saw a chubby guy running towards him with a look of surprise on his face, shouting as he ran.
"Master!"
The fat man ran forward, with no false excitement on his face.
"Master, I finally see you again."
Lin Ye couldn't help but smile when he looked at Gao Gong's face, patted Gao Gong on the shoulder and said, "You must have been waiting for a long time."
Gao Gong said: "I have been waiting for a few days. I received a message from the flying pigeon from the young master. I will lead my people here to wait for the young master to come."
He came over and naturally led the war horse over for Lin Ye, and then he found that the horse's legs were a little weak.
This war horse looks tall and majestic, but its legs are so weak that it wobbles when walking.
Seeing Gao Gong's confusion, Lin Ye said to himself that if you flew all the way from Geling City, you would know why the legs of the Zhaoye Qilin were weak.
After entering the city, Gao Gong took Lin Ye and the others directly to the outside of a large manor.
"Master, according to your instructions, our Dafu Dog business will continue in Yunzhou, but the headquarters has been moved to this county."
He pointed to the manor in front of him and said: "This is the garden built for me under my personal supervision. Please see if you are satisfied with it."
It must be said that it is not easy for Gao Gong to use his aesthetics to make the garden so fresh and refined.
The only reasonable explanation is that... it was not created based on his aesthetics. If Gao Gong's ideas were followed, this place would definitely look extremely luxurious.
"Young master and your highness, the eldest princess, please rest for a while, and I will prepare the meal."
Gao Gong hurriedly settled Lin Ye and the others, and then ran out to watch the cooking in person.
Lin Ye helped Xie Yunxi sit down: "Are you tired?"
Xie Yunxi smiled and shook his head: "I'm not tired. I finally understood why practitioners envy the gods along the way. The feeling of flying in the clouds and mist is indeed very good."
Xiaohe didn't speak.
She fainted from the spaceship.
Lin Ye helped Xiao He sit down again: "I'm going to see how the room prepared for you is, by the way, aunt..."
Lin Ye looked at Xie Yunxi and said, "I will have a gift for you later."
Xie Yunxi said: "It's mysterious. Are you trying to get something out?"
Lin Ye said with a smile: "You will know in a moment, I have to prepare."
Xie Yunxi hummed: "Go ahead."
Lin Ye went out and headed towards the backyard of the manor as if he were on a familiar road. Although it was his first time here, Gao Gong had already sent someone to take a look at the drawings of the manor.
This manor looks simple, with a sense of returning to nature. Xie Yunxi likes it very much. Living here will make you feel isolated from the world.
"Miss."
Xiaohe poured a glass of water for Xie Yunxi and said with a smile: "The general treats you very well. Miss, have you seen the carvings on the entrance of this garden?"
Xie Yunxi nodded slightly. Although he looked expressionless, he was actually very happy... This manor is called Xiyuan.
Xiaohe chirped and said: "When I came in, I walked around and looked at it. Every place was built according to the eldest lady's preferences. I couldn't find any faults. It's great."
Xie Yunxi knocked on her forehead: "You are the only one who talks a lot."
Xiaohe chuckled.
"Let's go for a walk too."
Although Xie Yunxi didn't look excited, he really liked it here.
In the backyard, Lin Ye called Gao Gong over and asked, "How are you, brothers?"
Gao Gong said: "According to my previous instructions, most of the brothers have withdrawn from Yunzhou City. Except for those who maintain daily business, they are all in this county."
Lin Ye nodded.
Gao Gong continued: "My young master has told us before that the brothers from Jade Bird House should also try their best to evacuate Yunzhou. Except for some people who stayed in the business on the dock, the brothers from Jade Bird House have all come over to do our land transportation business." .”
Lin Ye said: "Is there anything unfair about the business share?"
Gao Gong said: "How dare I be unfair? I told you that since the land transportation business has been handed over to the brothers of Jade Bird Tower, we will not interfere. We will take whatever share the brothers of Jade Bird Tower give us. That's not the case." Let’s share it with the brothers in Jade Bird Building.”
Lin Ye smiled and said, "Well done."
Gao Gong said: "I received a letter yesterday and Mr. Zhuang will be back soon. They came all the way from southern Xinjiang, so they are much slower than the young master."
Speaking of this, he asked: "You asked us to come out early. Did you expect that there would be a war in Yunzhou?"
Lin Ye said: "Letting you come out has nothing to do with this war."
Previously, Lin Ye was afraid that the Emperor would be dissatisfied with his control over Yunzhou, so Lin Ye asked Dafu Dog and the people from Jade Bird Tower to try their best to withdraw from Yunzhou.
At that time, Lin Ye was not very clear about the emperor's intentions, so he had to make this arrangement in order to protect his brothers in the world.
"Leveraging the land transport business."
Gao Gonghui reported: "We have deployed manpower on all routes to Dongbo. If there is any trouble there, we will know immediately and we will definitely be faster than others."
This was Lin Ye's deliberate arrangement, because Lin Ye had been preparing for the Northern Expedition.
Even if Zong Zheng Shiquan had not been captured alive in Geling City, Dayu's Northern Expedition would have been put on the agenda sooner or later.
Lin Ye's last northern expedition seemed to have a good result, but in fact, it did not really damage Lou Fan's roots. The small countries controlled by Lin Ye in the north were actually not stable at all.
Lou Fan just wanted to recuperate and was not really afraid of Dayu.
This time Lou Fan went south in a big way and was able to take care of those small countries easily.
Gao Gong said: "Dongbo goes south from Caoshu City. Our Dayu army is still stationed there. A few days ago, General Ning Shehai also ordered to increase troops from Yunzhou to Caoshu City. It should be because Lou Fan might Heading south in a big way.”
Lin Ye said: "Besides this, does General Ning have any other arrangements?"
Gao Gong said: "There are people of ours in the general's palace. They say that Ning Shehai sent someone to send a personal letter to Xiantang, asking Lord Dongbo to prepare for a decisive battle. Probably, Ning Shehai wants to lead his troops to Xiantang himself."
Lin Yexin said I'm sorry, General Ning, you can't go, and if you go, you won't be able to enter Xiantang City.
According to the normal thinking, we must make full use of the terrain of winter mooring.
Use Xiantang City as a fortress and try their best to consume Lou Fan's army going south.
It is best to be able to camp in Dongbo step by step, even if all ten rooms in Dongbo are empty, and to turn Dongbo into a cemetery for Loufan people, burying as many people as possible.
Ning Shehai leads the troops, and is more orthodox than Feng Xiu. He represents the highest level of Dayu's military academy. From a head-on perspective, he may be more powerful than Ning Haitang.
He is the kind of representative who is steady and cold-hearted. In this regard, Ning Haitang is completely different from him. Ning Haitang leads the troops, but is somewhat similar to Lin Ye.
"In a moment, go find the people in charge of intelligence in Jade Bird Tower. I want to talk to them."
After Lin Ye said this, he asked: "How is the harvest of our business?"
Gao Gong said: "It's very good. 80% of the land transportation business out of Yunzhou belongs to our family, and 50% of the land transportation business to Yunzhou belongs to our family."
Lin Ye asked: "Does Ning Shehai have anything to do with it?"
Gao Gong shook his head and said: "He probably also knows that the business is related to the young master, so he is not embarrassed. Besides, we left Yunzhou City early, so it is impossible for him to do anything extraordinary."
Lin Ye sighed: "He doesn't go out of his way, maybe I will do something out of the ordinary."
Gao Gong was stunned.
Judging from the young master's tone, is the young master going to embarrass General Ning?
That shouldn't be the case, he's still my uncle after all.
My brother-in-law has just arrived, why should I fuck my uncle first?
Lin Ye said: "Go and find someone first, and I'll arrange some other things."
Gao Gong quickly agreed and ran out to call the people in charge of various businesses to come over.
Lin Ye called Pang Panghai over: "Go to Yunzhou first and ask to see General Ning Shehai. Tell me that I will arrive in Yunzhou early tomorrow morning."
Pang Panghai responded and then asked: "Does the General have any other explanations?"
Lin Ye said: "In front of the officials in Yunzhou City, tell Ning Shehai directly that I will take over the military power when I arrive and let him be prepared."
Pang Panghai was startled: "General...this...will this make General Ning angry?"
Lin Ye said: "I just want to make him angry."
Pang Panghai had a why expression on his face, but Lin Ye didn't explain much.
"Go ahead. If General Ning gets angry, he may get someone to beat you, but he won't beat you to death. Just hold on."
Pang Dahai: "..."
Lin Ye said: "You can decide the scale yourself. If you stimulate it too hard, he may be stricter when giving the order. In short, it's up to you to decide how well your butt will be spanked."
Pang Dahai: "..."
Lin Ye: "You still have to be more domineering."
Pang Dahai: "..."
He felt that he was really stupid and couldn't figure out why the general had to have a conflict with Ning Shehai as soon as he arrived. This was obviously not good for the upcoming war.
His Majesty said that our general is the commander in chief of this war, but can't we just read out the decree directly? Why offend Ning Shehai?
"Go ahead."
Lin Ye patted Dahai on the shoulder: "If you are really scared, just run...just run after scolding. You have always been good at it."
Pang Panghai: "General, have I done something wrong? Do you want to kill me?"
Lin Ye kicked Pang Dahai on the butt: "Get out of here, go for a run."
Da Dahai left with a sad and determined look.
Lin Ye met with the brothers from Jade Bird Tower not long after, and after discussing for an hour, the brothers from Jade Bird Tower dispersed, all in a hurry.
Lin Ye had many arrangements for them, and everyone had to make preparations as soon as possible.
It was already afternoon when we returned to the place where Xie Yunxi rested. Xie Yunxi and Xiao He had already had lunch. They knew that Lin Ye had many things to do, so there was no need to wait deliberately.
After Lin Ye came back, Xie Yunxi was resting on the recliner. Xiaohe sat beside her and watched over her. When he heard footsteps, Xiaohe turned around and hissed at Lin Ye.
Xie Yunxi smiled and said, "I didn't fall asleep."
He sat up as he spoke.
Xiaohe asked: "Didn't the general say he would bring a gift for the eldest lady?"
Lin Ye was empty-handed.
Lin Ye smiled and said: "I brought it, but you can't see it. You need me to conjure it up."
Xiaohe's eyes lit up: "General, can you do magic tricks?"
Xie Yunxi smiled and said: "As long as you are honest, you can believe whatever he says."
Lin Ye said: "Xiaohe believes in me because he knows that I will definitely change. Auntie doesn't believe in me, which makes me sad..."
Xie Yunxi: "Childish..."
Lin Ye said: "You really don't believe it? If you really don't believe it, I will really change it for you."
He closed his eyes, pretended to recite a few words of some sort of mantra, and then pointed behind him: "Urgent like a law, divine soldiers descend from the sky!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden muffled sound in the yard, like a mountain suddenly landing on the earth.
Xie Yunxi's expression suddenly changed when he heard the muffled sound, and he couldn't help but quickly walked to the door of the house.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
After several more muffled sounds, the light in the yard seemed to dim all of a sudden.
Six majestic and huge bronze battle armors stood proudly in the courtyard!
Under the sun, the six battle armors reflected a thick bronze luster, with an unparalleled domineering atmosphere in their simplicity.
