Lin Ye does not live in Shangwuyuan, although Yun Chengfeng arranged the best house in Shangwuyuan for him.
He just entered the yard and took a look. So far, the only personal item belonging to Lin Ye in the house was the bag of tissue paper.
Lin Ye is a person who knows how to delegate power, especially when his deputy is professionally stronger than him.
For example, the training at Qi Barracks.
Feng Xiu is really outstanding, and he seems to have seen the light of day. Of course he knows that he cannot hope for Lin Ye's death, but he knows that Lin Ye will definitely climb very fast.
That day, Feng Xiu took the initiative to find Lin Ye at the fodder yard of Qi Barracks.
He said to Lin Ye... I won't fight you anymore. I think it's more realistic to hope that you will win than to hope that you will die.
He said, I have realized that I am just a pot, a scapegoat, and a knife that others borrow to kill people.
He also said that people like me are not that smart, but they are not that stupid either.
Lin Ye did not deny what he said before. When he said this, Lin Ye glanced at Feng Xiu.
Of course, he didn't say anything, but this look almost made Feng Xiu look anxious.
Feng Xiu said, from today on, I will seriously serve as the deputy general of the contract camp and train my troops well. No one can use me anymore.
Lin Ye said, what if I just want to use you to train my troops?
Feng Xiu said, by then the soldiers will be trained by me, and you will have no real power. Can't I just ignore you?
Lin Ye said, I finally know why you were transferred from Geling to Northern Xinjiang.
Feng Xiu asked why, and Lin Ye said because you are honest.
Sometimes, no, most of the time, calling a person real means the same thing as calling a person stupid.
If Feng Xiu could really prosper in Geling, as an official of the Ministry of War, he might be sent out, but it would definitely not be sent to Qi Barracks.
If you can really prosper and be transferred to any regular army as a general, isn't that a promising future?
He is just a petty official in the Ministry of War, a petty official with no background and no backing.
With Feng Xiu training troops, it actually didn't matter whether Lin Ye was in Qi Barracks or not.
As for what Feng Xiu said, he could make Lin Ye stand out... The fact that he could say it out loud meant that he couldn't do it.
Feng Xiu also said... You will have more soon, but I feel that Qi Military Camp is probably the last stop in my life.
When Lin Ye returned home and saw the pink carriage not far away, he couldn't help but start to tremble slightly.
The aunt sent someone to find him and asked him to wait at home. Lin Ye began to prepare his words from that moment on.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my aunt sitting on the bench chatting with Zina.
As soon as Lin Ye walked in, Zinai couldn't help but sigh, stood up and said, "Auntie, I'm going back to the house first."
Tuoba Yunxi asked: "What are you doing when you go back to the house?"
Zinai: "I'm afraid of blood splattering all over me."
Tuoba Yunxi laughed: "Go."
Lin Ye walked towards Tuoba Yunxi obediently, and put on a smile obediently: "Auntie."
Tuoba Yunxi: "Don't pretend."
Lin Ye: "Yes..."
Tuoba Yunxi looked at Lin Ye up and down: "Turn around."
After Lin Ye turned around, Tuoba Yunxi looked again: "Where are the wings?"
Lin Ye: "The wings became stiff and I flew away by myself."
Tuoba Yunxi said: "It's really hard, stretch out your hand."
Lin Ye stretched out his hand, and Tuoba Yunxi took the prepared bamboo board in his hand and struck it into Lin Ye's palm.
The bamboo board stopped when it was about a finger's width away from Lin Ye's palm, because the bamboo board was caught by Zina.
Tuoba Yunxi looked at Zinai and asked, "Do you feel sorry for your brother?"
Zinai raised his hand and showed the jar he was holding to Tuoba Yunxi: "Sprinkle some salt before beating."
Tuoba Yunxi's eyes narrowed slightly. This sister really knows how to hurt people.
Zinai looked serious, as if she really planned to do this.
But Tuoba Yunxi couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this little girl had actually learned the trick of retreating while advancing.
The pretense was to spread salt, but in reality it was to make Tuoba Yunxi feel distressed, so that her brother would avoid being beaten.
Tuoba Yunxi smiled and said, "Zinai, wait a moment. I'll beat the blood out of his palm, and then you can sprinkle some salt on him."
Zinai: "Ah!"
After a while, Zinai stretched out her hand: "How about, aunt, please hit my hand."
Tuoba Yunxi: "How can I beat you? You haven't made any mistakes. At most... half for each person."
Lin Ye: "Auntie, I was wrong."
Tuoba Yunxi: "Well, let me tell you first, where did you go wrong?"
Lin Ye: "I don't know, but I must be wrong."
Tuoba Yunxi glared: "Who did you learn from who is such a scumbag?"
Lin Ye: "Ah?"
Tuoba Yunxi put the bamboo board aside and said, "Explain it. If you can't explain it, I'll make both of your hands bleed."
Zinai: "Really?"
Tuoba Yunxi: "Of course it's a real fight."
Zinai immediately stood next to Tuoba Yunxi and pointed at Lin Ye: "Explain quickly!"
Lin Ye sighed: "No matter how good the people in the Beiye Army are, they can't do anything for me. They are the general's soldiers, now and in the future, alive and dead."
Tuoba Yunxi: "Are you useful to those dandy boys?"
Lin Ye: "It's useful, you can make money."
Tuoba Yunxi: "Are you short of money?"
Lin Ye said: "I am not short of small money, but big money. The Qi Barracks are under local control, but now there are no people in the government offices and the government offices are poor. The weapons and equipment of the Qi Barracks are really inferior."
Tuoba Yunxi thought for a while and then said: "Do you want the people from Shangyuan to pay to help you replace the equipment in the Qi Barracks?"
Lin Ye said: "Not only weapons and equipment, but also war horses. The total number of horses in Qi Barracks is less than 300, and they are either old, weak or sick. The veterinarian said that 300 horses will have 700 kinds of diseases."
Tuoba Yunxi suppressed a smile and asked: "The Qi army camp does not need cavalry, what do you want war horses for?"
Lin Ye: "Make money."
Tuoba Yunxi narrowed his eyes again: "You want to get money from Shangyuan, equip your Contract Barracks, and then use the Contract Barracks to get money after the equipment is ready?"
Lin Ye took out a map from his backpack, opened it and pointed: "The farmland of Qibing Camp is at the northernmost point of Dayu, bordering Dongbo."
He drew a circle on the map with his hand: "This generation is the southern border of Dongbo. They are all nomadic tribes. Horse thieves are rampant and they are extremely rich."
Tuoba Yunxi suddenly realized: "In the final analysis, you want to train troops."
Lin Ye smiled: "The Qi Barracks are placed in Yunzhou City. They will always be used to maintain public order. Bring them out to practice with real swords and guns, so that they can be used effectively when they are actually used in the future."
Tuoba Yunxi: "This is not what you really want to do. What are you planning?"
Lin Ye said: "Let the people in Qi Barracks get used to the Dongbo people's fighting style first."
Tuoba Yunxi stopped talking. After being silent for a while, he suddenly came to his senses.
She asked: "Do you want to give someone a big gift?"
Lin Ye said: "Yes, aunt."
Tuoba Yunxi: "How can you be sure that you can give this great gift?"
Lin Ye: "I have met the emperor."
Tuoba Yunxi: "What else?"
Lin Ye: "I have met the emperor, and that is enough."
Tuoba Yunxi thought for a moment and nodded: "If you bet correctly, what can you get?"
Lin Ye: "Retreat."
Tuoba Yunxi: "You have just started to move forward. You haven't gone far yet and you are already thinking about retreating?"
Lin Ye: "Auntie, I don't need a retreat." Tuoba Yunxi fell silent again.
Lin Ye said: "If my guess is correct, it will probably only take a year at most, or even half a year, so the Qi Barracks must be trained as soon as possible."
Tuoba Yunxi nodded: "Then do what you want."
She looked into Lin Ye's eyes: "Reach out your hand."
Lin Ye stretched out his hand.
Tuoba Yunxi picked up the bamboo board and hit Lin Ye hard in the palm of his hand. Zinai closed her eyes in pain.
Tuoba Yunxi said: "Do you know why I beat you?"
Lin Ye shook his head: "I don't know."
Tuoba Yunxi said: "Because of what you just said, you are not allowed to retreat."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and left with her hands behind her back.
Zinai asked Lin Ye curiously: "Brother, what did my aunt say you bet about?"
Lin Ye raised his hand and rubbed Zinai's head: "You are still young. I will tell you when you are older."
Zinai: "Hey...that's it again, you're still young."
An hour later, the dock.
Lin Ye sat there and checked Zhuang Junji's pulse. Zhuang Junji's pulse became more and more peaceful, which made Lin Ye breathe a sigh of relief.
One year has passed since Zhuang Junji broke through to Wuyue Realm until now.
Lin Ye's medicinal wine worked after all.
Zhuang Junji asked: "I have too many complicated things recently and haven't checked Zina's homework. How is her swordsmanship?"
Lin Ye replied: "Great."
Zhuang Junji: "That's good."
Lin Ye: "What I'm saying is, what Zinai uses is not a sword, but a stick."
Zhuang Junji: "..."
After checking his pulse, Lin Ye pointed to the medicinal wine he brought: "I made some adjustments, but the usage and dosage don't need to change."
Zhuang Junji: "Okay."
He looked at Lin Ye: "You don't seem to be feeling well lately."
Lin Ye raised his finger and pointed at his chin: "Have you seen that my beard is growing more and more?"
Zhuang Junji took a glance and saw that Lin Ye did have a little beard on his chin. In fact, it was not really a beard, at most it was just a sprouting beard.
He said to Lin Ye: "Ask Chu Danrong and Chu Dingcong to help train a group of people to be Yu Yu Chengchong's personal guards."
Lin Ye: "Yes."
Zhuang Junji said: "So, you are preparing to send Yu Yucheng back to Dongbo in a hurry?"
Lin Ye replied: "Yes."
Zhuang Junji: "You think that Emperor Dayu can no longer tolerate the current King of Dongbo."
Lin Ye said: "Emperor Yu arrested Xie Yelan and Dongbo's right minister Tai Tingyan, so this matter is already obvious."
Zhuang Junji: "The king of Dongbo thought that by helping Xie Yelan murder the emperor, he would get more benefits if Xie Yelan became the emperor."
Lin Ye: "Whoever becomes emperor will not get more benefits."
Zhuang Junji nodded: "Yes, how can he get benefits from Dayu... At most, if he changes the emperor, he can pay less."
Lin Ye said: "He sensed that the Emperor might abolish him and replace him with the more cowardly Yu Yu Chengchang, so he wanted to fight back. If Emperor Yu wanted to kill him, then he would kill Emperor Yu."
Zhuang Junji: "So he is really about to die."
Lin Ye said: "Brother Zhuang, if, one day in the future, Emperor Jade feels that I am a threat... I hope that you can have a place to go. I will not say these words to my wife or my teacher."
Even if the brothers tell me, they won’t tell Zinai.”
Zhuang Junji: "I know."
Lin Ye smiled.
He said: "It's actually not bad over there in Dongbo. Life is more comfortable than in Yunzhou."
Zhuang Junji: "I have never asked you why."
Lin Ye replied: "Because I am stubborn."
He picked up the tea cup and smelled the fragrance of tea in this world.
He said: "It's a stubbornness that can't be changed."
