Tuoba Lie, the general of the Beiye Army, defeated the foreign enemies in one battle and killed 70,000 to 80,000 enemies. His reputation was so great that the Jade Emperor was so happy that he made Tuoba Lie the Marquis of Beiye.
A few years later, Tuoba Lie reported to Emperor Jade that he had suppressed nearly 100,000 bandits in Yunzhou in a few years and eliminated the banditry in Yunzhou.
The Jade Emperor's heart was filled with joy, and he made a decree to make Tuoba Lie the King of Beiye.
However, General Tuoba Lie never regarded himself as the King of Beiye. He acted calmly and had strict military discipline. People said that with General Tuoba in Yunzhou, there was no one who could bully the iron wall.
Even the Loufan people say that if there was no Tuoba Lie in Big Jade, the Loufan cavalry would have drunk the Malan River long ago.
The capital of Dayu Dynasty is not far from Lanjiang River and is called Geling.
In many places in Yunzhou City, there are wounded soldiers who were lucky enough to survive that battle, doing small businesses to make ends meet.
When Lin Ye arrived in Yunzhou, it was already two months after his mother-in-law passed away. Such a long journey and walking around made him feel a lot of emotion.
The garrison soldiers at the city gate looked at this beautiful young man and kept looking at him, but they were not looking at him because he was beautiful.
The leader held out his hand for a while, already looking embarrassed, but the young man still didn't seem to understand what he meant.
So Shi Chang coughed a few times to relieve the embarrassment: "I don't know what I mean by stretching out my hand?"
Lin Ye looked at that hand, thought for a while, his eyes lit up, as if he understood.
Seeing his eyes light up, Shi Chang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this guy finally understood.
So, he saw Lin Ye raise his hand and patted his outstretched hand happily.
Shi Chang stared at Lin Ye with his eyes widened. He was dressed in cloth. Although it was clean, it was not valuable. A straw hat was cleaner than the clothes. The only valuables were an umbrella and a donkey.
He thought that there were too many people queuing up behind him, so it might not be good to ask for a donkey in front of everyone.
So he pointed to Lin Ye's umbrella. What's wrong with not having money? If you want to enter Yunzhou City, you have to pluck the feathers of the geese that pass by.
Lin Ye was silent for a long time, took off his shoes, poured out a very small piece of silver from his shoes, and reluctantly placed it in the palm of Shi Chang's hand.
Shi Chang frowned and asked: "I don't want to know now whether you have been pretending to be stupid, nor do I want to know why you would rather give me money than that broken umbrella. I just want to know if your feet hurt or not."
"
Lin Ye nodded heavily: "猌."
Shi Chang glared at him and said, "You are still hiding it?"
Lin Ye said: "That is my only piece of silver."
Shi Chang was stunned for a moment and sighed: "What a poor child. Fortunately, you met me."
He pointed to Lin Ye's hand: "Come."
Lin Ye stretched out his hand, thinking that the guy was going to give the money back to him, but Shi Chang slapped his hand vigorously.
Chief: "You have to work hard!"
Lin Ye said: "You are truly a Bodhisattva."
Shi Chang said: "Bodhisattva, you have to collect the incense money."
Lin Ye walked into the city quickly. He just wanted to get these words out of his ears as soon as possible, because the Bodhisattva in his heart did not accept money for incense.
He seemed to be walking aimlessly. He wanted to take a closer look at this big city called Taiping City, because he would probably live here for a long time.
He had a letter of recommendation given to him by the county magistrate in his arms. If he had just taken out the letter of recommendation and showed it to the chief, the chief would have been polite to him and would not have dared to accept any money from him.
Because the county magistrate wants to recommend Lin Ye's place to go, he is considered to be of great status in this Yunzhou city.
But Lin Ye doesn't plan to go, at least not in the near future.
I seemingly randomly chose a roadside food stall and ordered a bowl of hot shredded chicken noodle soup and a small plate of pickled mustard greens.
Before eating, he opened the package and took out a pair of chopsticks and a wooden spoon.
The middle-aged man selling noodles looked at him with a bit of contempt in his eyes, which probably meant that he thought Lin Yeqiong was very particular.
Lin Ye ate with the tableware he brought. This scene was also seen by several young people eating at the table next to him. Those people muttered a few words, and then laughed unscrupulously. Lin Ye heard some of them.
The word "poor" is sour.
These people are all rogues in the city, and they eat overlord meals on these streets every day.
Lin Ye heard their laughter and didn't care at all, but after he lowered his head and took a bite of noodles, he frowned slightly.
The amount of shredded chicken is not that small, but when cutting the shredded meat, the knife technique is wrong. If you cut it along the texture of the chicken, the shredded meat will appear a bit hard, hard to chew, sticky, and easy to get stuck in your teeth.
There were too many chopped green onions, which diluted the aroma of the noodle soup. The only thing that satisfied Lin Ye in this bowl of noodles was the three thin slices of white radish. In the past three years, he has been cooking for his mother-in-law, and he has been extremely meticulous.
Even his own mouth is very tricky. In addition, he also has some mysophobia.
So he thought that he should find a place to live, at least one that could cook, as the food outside was really not delicious.
Even though he disliked it, he still ate all the noodles and drank the noodle soup because his mother-in-law said that waste is shameful.
After eating, he borrowed some water to wash his chopsticks and spoons. Every movement he made was very serious, completely inconsistent with his age. He looked like a meticulous old man, the old man known as the Bodhisattva.
Lin Ye opened the umbrella and hid the money bag inside the umbrella. It made a clattering sound when he took it out, which showed that he had a lot of money.
The expression of the uncle selling noodle soup changed. He quickly went over to cover Lin Ye with his body and lowered his voice: "You should leave quickly and be careful."
Lin Ye glanced at his uncle gratefully, packed up his things, took the little donkey he liked so much and left.
After walking not far, the rogues followed him.
The leader was twenty-six or seventeen years old, and his name was Gao Gong. The people following him were all his subordinates, one was named Song Fuxi, the other was Liu Dafa, and the other was named Zhao Cai.
"Little brother, wait."
Gao Gong stepped forward and put his arm around Lin Ye's shoulders: "Is this little brother a foreigner? Is this your first time in Yunzhou City?"
Lin Ye turned his head and looked at the hand on his shoulder, frowning slightly, his slight mysophobia made him a little uncomfortable.
He asked: "Brother, is there something wrong?"
Gao Gong smiled and said: "We brothers are the most kind-hearted. Seeing that you are a foreigner, we are willing to guide you. Just tell us where you want to go. There is no one in Yunzhou City that we are not familiar with."
Lin Ye said: "I want to find a cheap inn. It doesn't matter if it's a little remote. Do you know anything about it?"
Gao Gong smiled and said: "As I said, there is no place we are not familiar with. We are more familiar with remote places. Come on, I will take you there."
Lin Ye thanked you, and then said respectfully: "Thank you for what. I think you have a good eye, and we will be friends from now on. Saying thank you to friends will create more friendships."
He put his arm around Lin Ye's shoulders and walked forward, followed by his subordinates, all with smiles on their lips.
The uncle selling noodle soup looked worried, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he just sighed.
Lin Ye followed those people, crossed the street and entered an alley, and was blocked by those people.
"Little brother."
Gao Gong said with a smile: "What did I say just now? I said we are friends, right? Since we are friends, there is nothing wrong with helping each other, right?"
Lin Ye nodded: "Yes, my mother-in-law taught me the same way."
Gao Gong smiled and said: "Then your mother-in-law is a good mother-in-law."
He stretched out his hand: "Come on."
Lin Ye: "What?"
Gao Gong frowned: "Are you pretending to be stupid?"
Lin Ye said: "You know, only smart people pretend to be stupid."
The scoundrel named Liu Dafa became angry: "I don't care if you are pretending or not, I just tell you clearly, you are stealing money!"
Lin Ye looked at Liu Dafa: "Robbing money?"
Liu Dafa: "Nonsense!"
Lin Ye said with some embarrassment: "Isn't it good?"
Gao Gong laughed angrily: "Okay, it seems that he really planned to pretend to be stupid to the end. It was just a matter of paying some money, but now you have to get beaten up. Remember, you asked for it."
Lin Ye also smiled: "That's right, I did find you myself."
Gao Gong: "Hit!"
Liu Dafa and others immediately pounced on him.
Lin Ye stretched out his hand: "Wait a moment."
Gao Xing: "Are you aware of current affairs?"
Lin Ye took the donkey aside, put the package and umbrella away, took off his straw hat and put it on the donkey, then turned around: "It's okay now."
He said: "I will hit your acupuncture points. You probably don't know where the acupuncture points are, but I will tell you where to hit them. Do you remember?"
Liu Dafa stepped forward and kicked him: "Damn you talk too much!"
Lin Ye turned aside and said, "Renzhong!"
He punched Liu Dafa hard under the nose. Liu Dafa covered his mouth and squatted down.
Zhao Cai and Song Fuxi came up at the same time. Lin Ye avoided the fists and kicks and said: "Renzhong."
With two punches, Zhao Cai and Song Fuxi also squatted down with their mouths covered. It was too hard and their upper lips immediately swelled.
All three of them had blood coming out of their mouths and their heads were buzzing.
Lin Ye ducked in front of Gao Gong. Before he could speak, Gao Gong raised his hands to protect Renzhong.
Lin Ye: "Picking your belly button."
The thumb was dug into the belly button, and the other four fingers grabbed the flesh on the belly. With a strong force, with a respectful sound, the hands immediately released the mouth and pushed down.
Lin Ye: "Renzhong."
boom......
The four of them were squatting there, and Lin Ye sighed: "You people are such bastards. You need to be punished. Let's cut off one of your fingers first."
All four of them had one of their fingers broken off by him.
Then Lin Ye dug out the money bags of the four people: "Did I just say that it is not good to steal money? The bad thing is that the money comes so fast, you will spoil me..."
Half an hour later, the middle-aged man selling noodle soup was still thinking about the child just now. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old and was alone.
Ying is still a foreigner, and he doesn't know how he will be bullied by those bastards.
Those ruffians can only be regarded as the most ineffective people in Yunzhou City. They cannot be put on the stage, but they can still bully ordinary people like them.
That young man should have a good family background, be well-educated, and be polite and fair. What would happen if he was beaten?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the young man coming back with the donkey. He walked to the stall and asked him politely: "Uncle, can I ask you a few things?"
The uncle's expression changed. He looked at Lin Ye carefully to make sure there were no signs of being beaten, so he couldn't believe what he saw.
The uncle didn't answer, but asked instead: "Are you... okay? Didn't those people make it difficult for you?"
Lin Ye smiled, showing his neat white teeth: "No, they said they wanted to be friends with me, and then they said they wanted to borrow some money. It's okay to borrow money from friends, so I borrowed it."
The uncle breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself that stupid people are lucky. This kid seemed to have no brains, so he was spared a beating.
The uncle asked Lin Ye: "What do you want to know about?"
Lin Ye said: "There are three things in total. First, uncle, do you know where I can rent a house? A separate small courtyard is best."
The uncle thought that the small courtyard where he came from was empty and he was the only one living there. The boy looked likeable and could not be a bad person.
So I asked: "I live alone at home, and there are a few empty rooms in the house. If you don't mind, you can live here, and I won't charge you more."
Lin Ye shook his head: "I want to live by myself."
The uncle said: "There is no such a suitable courtyard. Besides, at your age, it is not safe to live by yourself. My small courtyard is clean and quiet, and there are few people to disturb..."
Lin Ye: "I sound satisfied, can you move out?"
Uncle: "..."
Lin Ye sighed softly: "It seems that it can't be done. Then can you do it without disturbing me no matter what?"
The uncle said: "I sell noodle soup all day long, and I only go back at night, so I won't disturb you."
Lin Ye thought that it would be better to make do with it. After all, finding a house was not an easy task, and it was luck to find one.
So he asked: "Can you take me to see the yard now?"
The uncle smiled: "Of course you can. Didn't you say three things? What are the other two things?"
Lin Ye said: "The other two things, if I really live in your house, I will ask you again."
The uncle tidied up the stall and led Lin Ye forward: "That's OK, it's not that far. It only takes about a minute to walk. By the way, those people just didn't bully you, right?"
Lin Ye replied: "No, I asked if my home was far away. I said it would take two months."
He led the donkey and said to himself: "The people in Yunzhou City are so nice. I met them when I first came here. They asked me how I was doing and asked me if I was alone. Would I be scared if I walked alone?"
The uncle looked back at him: "Are they saying that you are alone and the world is dangerous, so you can't make more friends, and then ask you for money?"
Lin Ye: "The front part is correct, but the back part is wrong. They said it was borrowed."
The uncle sighed: "Silly boy..."
Lin Ye said: "They said that if you walk such a long way to Yunzhou City by yourself, if no one helps you, you will be bullied to death."
The uncle asked: "What did you say?"
Lin Ye said: "I said, yes, I am alone and the world is dangerous. How do you think I got to Yunzhou City?"
The uncle chuckled, walked a few steps, and felt something was wrong. He stopped abruptly and looked back at Lin Ye, only to see a simple and harmless smile on the young man's face.
