Chapter 518: Return to the Lin Family
The army of Lugou Village returned triumphantly, and the villagers who were looking forward to it here were relieved, smiling one by one, and every household took out the prepared food to treat everyone.
With more and more people coming to Lugou Village for refuge, and more than 50,000 people stationed in the village, the scale of Lugou Village has become larger and larger. The people spontaneously reclaimed the barren mountains, built roads, and created new homes, and the whole Lugou Village was a thriving and vigorous scene.
Now that the ghost has been exterminated, Ye Heng and the leaders gathered together to discuss the future matters.
"According to the old man's opinion, all of our sects and factions have established a branch here, although the trouble of the ghost domain has been solved, but to the east of Jinzhou is the vast ocean, and no one knows when they will make a comeback. With the help of several of us, we will build this place into the forefront of the defense of the ghost domain, what do you think?" the bald Li proposed.
"I agree, the reason why the ghosts were able to invade our Heavenly Fortune Continent unknowingly, aside from the dark shadows and their collusion, the coastline of our continent is too long, and it is impossible to monitor the situation along the coast from time to time. After we establish a branch here, we will establish an organization to jointly defend against the ghosts, everyone will show their strengths and cooperate with each other, and if the ghosts dare to invade our Heavenly Fortune Continent again, we will beat them as soon as possible!"
Lin Lao nodded and said, "That's a good idea, but we still have to think of a way, if we build an organization here, what will we rely on to support the operation of the organization? It's very difficult to keep an organization running without huge financial support!"
"Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea!" Ye Heng said with a smile, "My old boss Xiangyunzhuang, because there is a vast pasture, so they are mainly engaged in the horse business, and the good horses they produce have now been sold all over the three empires." We have a lot more to do with the oceans, but I would like to propose to build a large fleet of ships to trade back and forth and to guard our seas. ”
"Okay! If there is a strong fleet, as long as the Ghost Domain dares to appear in our waters, we will press them into the sea and drown them before they can go ashore! However, the cost of forming a fleet is not low, and everyone has to think of a way!" said the captain of the Broadsword team.
"The Oniko have just been beaten away, and I estimate that they won't dare to harass us again in ten years, so we have plenty of time to prepare slowly. In my opinion, we should first gather skilled craftsmen from various places and build a shipyard first, and then let each family send out some elite disciples to set up a naval army; as long as there are people, everything else will be easy to do. Lin Qingshuang sat under Ye Heng and said slowly.
"The eldest lady is right! In this way, I propose that each of us first pay 10,000 taels of gold for the early construction of Lugou Village, how much will be needed in the later stage, let's discuss it again, what do you think?" Lin Lao held the cigarette pouch and pot, and there was no tobacco in it, but he habitually bit the cigarette holder and said.
"Okay, that's it! Our Lei family fully supports it, and in addition, if the organization needs to thunder the sky, our Lei family will donate it for free! Once we have formed a fleet and equipped the ship with a thunderbolt, I don't think the ghosts will dare to come again! As long as they find their traces, a thunder will be thrown over, blow up their boat, and let them fall into the sea to feed the fish!" said the leader of the Thor Army with a laugh.
Everyone expressed their opinions and made suggestions for the development of Lugou Village. It was such a meeting, and after that, the largest shipyard on the Tianyun Continent was created, and the most powerful fleet on the Tianyun Continent was created!
Ten years later, the people of the Ghost Domain really did not give up, and came sneaking up again, and after being discovered by the fishermen, they reported to the organization, organized and sent a fleet to defeat the fleet of the Ghost Kou on the vast ocean, sinking one of their largest warships, and the rest of the ships were either blown up or broken, and finally only a few small boats escaped back to the Ghost Domain. After losing this fleet, the Ghost Domain lost the ability to go to the far sea, whether it was a heavy blow to the Ghost Domain's national strength or economy, and before they established a strong enough fleet, they no longer had the ability to invade the Heavenly Fortune Continent.
At the end of the meeting, everyone talked about the situation of the Suncheon Empire, and it was inevitable that the topic of who they wanted to inherit the throne would be.
For the forces that are now fighting for the head and blood, everyone has mixed reviews, but compared with the whole, everyone still thinks that if the prince is on the throne, although it is not enough compared to the first emperor, it is better than others. However, later, someone suddenly mentioned a person with emotion, if this person can ascend to the throne, the Shuntian Empire will definitely be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time.
When everyone heard this person, they were all stunned for a moment, and soon everyone excitedly discussed, all hoping that this person would be in charge of the empire. However, everyone knows that this is wishful thinking, and how things will develop and who will inherit the throne, judging from the current situation, no one can say for sure.
Just when Lugou Village was immersed in joy, someone from the Lin family came to find Lin Qingshuang, and only then did they know that the Lin family in Jiangnan was almost wiped out by the Chen family. After getting the news, Ye Heng accompanied Lin Qingshuang to the Lin family in Jiangnan immediately, and after Lin Lao arranged the necessary manpower, he led the rest of the men and horses to return to the Lin family.
Ye Heng and Lin Qingshuang stood side by side on the bow of the boat, this was his first time on a boat, the sea breeze was blowing, and his clothes were fluttering, like a pair of fairy couples.
Ye Heng knew that Lin Qingshuang was worried about his parents, and his heart was like an arrow, so the two of them went south from the waterway, and the Lin family operated the boat with good hands, riding the wind and waves, and it only took half a day to come from Jinzhou to Jiangnan. On land, the two changed to fast horses, hurried overnight, and finally came to Jian'an City the next morning.
Back at the Lin family's ancestral house, although the craftsmen have been repairing the house, it can still be seen from the remaining traces how fierce the Chen and Lin families are fighting.
"The eldest lady is back!"
"Hello Miss!"
Along the way, so the people who saw Lin Qingshuang greeted her warmly, and Lin Qingshuang rushed to the inner courtyard in a hurry, still not forgetting to respond politely.
Lin Wenshu and his wife got the news of their daughter's return and immediately came out to greet them. Lin Qingshuang saw that her parents were safe and sound, so she was relieved.
When Lin Wenshu and his wife saw their daughter and son-in-law returning, they were naturally overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to prepare a banquet. The four of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Lin Wenshu saw that the two of them were in the dust, so he asked them to take a hot bath first. The two of them came out with clean clothes, and they were naturally much more refreshed.
Lin Qingshuang dressed up carefully, she had been fighting before, the conditions were limited, she could only simply freshen up, and when she returned home, she changed into beautiful women's clothes and put on exquisite makeup.
This time the family banquet Lin Wenshu invited all the relatives in the family to come, after being attacked by the Chen family, the Lin family suffered heavy losses, and the usual family banquet could be full of four or five tables, but now it can barely sit at two tables. There were a few children playing in the courtyard, which diluted the sad atmosphere that shrouded the Lin family a lot.
The banquet was ready, and Lin Wenshu beckoned everyone to take their seats. This head of the Lin family is a well-known big man in Jiangnan and even the entire Tianyun Continent, but he is an amiable elder at home. It can be seen from the attitude of the children towards him since he was a child, he is very respected by the children, but the children are not afraid of him, and they will not dare to eat the food they are afraid of because he is present.
During the banquet, Lin Wenshu told the two about the sneak attack by the Chen family, and Ye Heng also told Lin Wenshu about Jinzhou. Lin Wenshu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said: "The scourge of the ghost has been solved, even if my Lin family pays more, it will be worth it!"
"My father-in-law is like the sea, I admire him!" Ye Heng said, "The Lin family will inevitably be in trouble when this catastrophe occurs, if there is anything you need, just ask, Ye Heng will definitely do his best to help." ”
"Hehehe, it's good that you have this heart, the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, not to mention that our Lin family has not fallen, and when the disciples who went to support Jinzhou return, everything will be on the right track. Lin Wenshu shook his head and said.
"Father-in-law, do you want me to call Lin Xiuran back to help you, he has now grown into an excellent general who can stand alone. Now that the Lin family is employing people, Chen Shuizhou is already under our control, let him lead his cavalry team back to help you for a while, and then let him return to the team when everything returns to normal!" Ye Heng was asking Lin Wenshu for advice on the surface, but in fact, he had already made a decision.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Lin Wenshu said with a smile, very relieved in his heart.
After the family feast, the family went to the courtyard to drink tea, and several children began to play again, and they had been looking at him curiously after learning that this person was going to marry their eldest lady of the Lin family. I heard that the eldest lady had found a very good partner, but they had never met. This time, I finally saw this great brother who was said to be excellent by the adults, and I really wanted to talk to him, but the adults were talking during the banquet, and it was inconvenient for them to interject.
Now that he is resting, someone is bold enough to come over, and while helping Ye Heng pour tea, he said: "Hello, my name is Xiaozhi, I am Sister Qingshuang's cousin, I heard that you are very powerful, you must protect my sister!"
"I promise you, I will protect your sister!" Ye Heng leaned down and assured the little boy.
"You are not allowed to bully her!" Xiao Zhi reminded.
"I will never bully her!" Ye Heng promised.
"When she bullies you, you are not allowed to fight back!" a little girl suddenly jumped out and shouted.
"I will never fight back, is there anything else?" Ye Heng said as he looked at the little girl.
The little girl scratched her head, looked back behind her, and followed her gaze, Ye Heng saw Lin Qingshuang's sister Lin Qingxue. Seeing that Ye Heng found out that she was making trouble, this Nizi made a grimace at her, greeted her with a red face, and several children immediately rushed towards her, obviously she was the child king, and then took the children out to play.
Lin Qingshuang's mother looked at all this and said to the two: "Look, how lively it is to have children at home! These children are so innocent and lively, your baby must be as unrestrained, smart and cute as them!"
Lin Qingshuang immediately understood what her mother meant, and said shyly: "Mom, how can you destroy a child like this!"
"Parents are not stubborn and rotten people, I told you before that even if you don't get married, you can have a child first! The world is impermanent, this time the Lin family was killed, if it wasn't for the royal family to help at the last moment, our Jiangnan Lin family would probably be gone. Ye Heng, you are concerned about the safety of the country, you have been born and died in the past few years, in case, I mean in case, in case, in case there is a difference...... So, don't worry so much, Mother Qingshuang and I both hope that you will leave a descendant first, do you understand our feelings?" Lin Wenshu said sincerely.
Lin Qingshuang's cheeks were crimson, she stood with her head down, her hands twisting the corners of her clothes unnaturally, and peeking at Ye Heng from time to time.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I'm sorry for letting you worry!" Ye Heng said guiltily, "That's it, I'm going to marry Qingshuang when I go back this time, although we are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes and don't care about these very much, but unmarried pregnancy is not good for Qingshuang's reputation after all." ”
Lin Qingshuang gently grabbed Ye Heng's arm, feeling extremely sweet in her heart.
"Okay, you can arrange it yourself, and you can notify us on a certain date. Lin Wenshu nodded and said, "Okay, you guys are running all the way, and you're tired from thinking about it, so go and rest." ”
After speaking, the Lin couple left together, and the others also left one after another, Lin Qingshuang secretly twisted Ye Heng, and said in a low voice: "Don't go quickly, they are looking at us in secret, it's really embarrassing!"
Ye Heng couldn't help but stretch out his arm, happily hugged her soft shoulder, and said gently: "Everyone is witnessing your happiness, what's there to be ashamed of? Let's go, I'm sure I'm tired, take me to find a place to sleep." ”
