Chapter Ninety-Eight: Return to Xijing

After the training close to the real fight, the combat ability of these county soldiers and bandits has been significantly improved. Compared with a year ago, the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers in Wuxian County has made great progress. These recruits, who originally did not have much combat experience, have become veterans with relatively rich combat experience through this year's training.

Looking at the progress of these soldiers little by little, Yang Yun was very happy in his heart. Because of the current Dafu, although there is no war with other countries for the time being. But this is only a short period of calm, judging from the news obtained by the Flying Eagle Ministry, there are some changes in the countries around Dafu.

In particular, Dafu's old enemy, the state of Chu, they experienced the change of the throne. The new emperor Zhao Yuanrang has slowly eliminated those who oppose him one by one, and all important departments have installed his cronies, and the state power is completely controlled by himself. According to the belligerent personality of the Chu people, there may be a relatively large war in the near future.

Only by allowing these limited soldiers to have strong combat capabilities can they deal with all kinds of emergencies.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Yun has been in Wu County for nearly two years, and Yang Yun just celebrated his seventeenth birthday a few days ago. According to Emperor Fu's previous arrangement, when he turns seventeen, he will return to Xijing and marry Chi Li.

Yang Yun sat in the county office, and the image of this gentle woman appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but fall into sweetness. It is estimated that the holy decree of the imperial court is already on the way to Wu County!

Yang Yun is still looking forward to the completion of the marriage. In particular, some time ago, the news from Yan Feifei of the Flying Eagle Department showed that the open and secret battles between the crown prince Yang Yue and the prime minister Yang Xian and the victorious king Yang Ming, the three most powerful princes, became more and more intense.

Most of the officials in the DPRK and China are attached to the tripartite forces. Only a small number of officials were unwilling to participate in the struggle between the princes and did their part.

At present, the actions of all parties are now getting bigger and bigger, almost to the point of blatantness, but Emperor Fu has taken a blind attitude towards this matter, which has further boosted the arrogance of the three princes.

In this case, it is very dangerous for his mother Sima Yu and his fiancée Chi Li to stay in Xijing. And the mother concubine Sima Yu is better, because she has been living in the palace and has the protection of Emperor Fuhuang Yang Chengfeng.

But although Chi Li's father is a minister, this person has always been high and does not like to form parties for personal gain, so he has little ability to protect himself at all. If there is an emergency, Chi Li will be in danger.

And if he gets married successfully, Yang Yun can justifiably bring Chi Li to Wu County, away from the ups and downs of Xijing.

Yang Yun's prediction was not wrong, and within a few days, Emperor Fu's holy decree came, and Yang Yun, the king of Xuanwu, recently returned to Beijing to marry Chi Li, the daughter of Chi Shangwen, the secretary of Shangshu, as the princess of Wu.

This time, I left Wu County, because the journey was relatively long, and the prince who had already been crowned king was married, and the various procedures were very complicated, so it would take a long time. Then, Yang Yun will leave Wu County for a long time, so before leaving, he must arrange all the affairs of Wu County clearly before he can leave with confidence.

Fortunately, the bandits who had harassed the people for many years had been cleared, and Yang Yun could leave boldly without worrying about them attacking him on the road, or attacking the county seat after he had left.

At the same time, the development of various matters in Wu County has been on the right track. Whether it is mining and collecting medicine in the mountains, or the people who are responsible for digging canals and reservoirs, and planting food, they are all carried out step by step, plus Guo Long and Zhong Wenrui and others are very capable and can shoulder the burden when they are not there. So for these things, Yang Yun has nothing to worry about.

In fact, in the depths of Yang Yun's heart, what he can't let go of the most are the few people under his command who belong to his core forces and who he values and trusts the most.

Now the core group of people under Yang Yun mainly come from four levels:

A group were officials of the Dafu court, such as Qi Wei and Liu Yuan. There is also a group of people in the shadowless guards left by his mother Sima Yu to his previous dynasty, such as Zhong Wenrui, Yao Xia and Tie Shan. There are also a few people from other countries, such as Guo Long and Chimur and others. The last group of people is, of course, Yan Xiong, Liu Haini and other original bandits in Wu County.

These four groups of people are all loyal to Yang Yun, but there is still a big difference between them. For example, Liu Yuan, Qi Wei and others have always been loyal to the Dafu court, although they now belong to Yang Yun's command, but they are loyal to Emperor Fu in their bones, and the idea of loyalty to the court is still very serious.

Like the identities of Zhong Wenrui and Yao Xia and others, although Yang Yun has not said anything to Qi Wei and Liu Yuan. However, they still vaguely knew about the existence of the Shadowless Guard, but out of loyalty to Yang Yun, they just pretended not to know anything. But deep in their bones, they still have some precautions against Zhong Wenrui and Yao Xia and others.

Similarly, for officials of the previous dynasty such as Yao Xia and Zhong Wenrui, the reason why they are willing to be loyal to Yang Yun. It is because Yang Yun is the grandson of the former emperor Sima Nan, and his loyalty to Yang Yun is equivalent to the previous Great Jin Dynasty. However, they still have some estrangement in their hearts about Qi Wei and Liu Yuan and other officials from Dafu.

There is also Guo Long, who clearly expressed when he joined Yang Yun's power group that he only assisted Yang Yun and was unwilling to serve the Dafu Imperial Court. Of course, this will also have some conceptual conflicts with Liu Yuan, Qi Wei and others.

There are also people like Yan Xiong and Liu Haini, who were originally dissatisfied with the Dafu court. That's why they left home in anger and went to the mountains to be bandits, of course, they would also have some dissatisfaction with Qi Wei and Liu Yuan, who were loyal to the Dafu court.

Although they did not clearly state their attitude towards these core people under him, he could also see the clues from the way he handled some things and his opinions and suggestions on himself. If he stays in Wu County, he is still confident that he will slowly eliminate the gap between them through his personal charm. But now that he has to leave Wu County for a long time, he has to think about how to let them get along in harmony.

After thinking about it, Yang Yun decided to leave Ju Yuanguang in Wu County. Because in his forces, there are only Ju Yuanguang and Chi Mu'er who really have no barrier with everyone. Ju Yuanguang is a landing student, belonging to the first group of people to join him, and has no interests with all of them.

At the same time, Ju Yuanguang is a thoughtful person who has a very strong ability to deal with things. Although Yang Yun did not give him a clear position, everyone knew Yang Yun's trust in Ju Yuanguang. Therefore, he vaguely became the second person in Yang Yun's forces, second only to Yang Yun.

According to the original plan, Yang Yun wanted to take Ju Yuanguang with him, because he might encounter all kinds of complicated situations in Xijing. With the existence of a think tank like Ju Yuanguang, you can give advice for yourself at a critical time and can help you solve some troubles.

And Chi Mu'er is a martial arts idiot, except for finding someone to compete and practice martial arts, he is not interested in anything, so he can get along with almost everyone.

But judging from the current situation, Wu County still needs a person who can convince everyone to lead everyone. So after thinking about it, Yang Yun finally decided to let Ju Yuanguang stay in Wu County.

Out of this consideration, Yang Yun decided to return to Xijing this time. Bring Chi Mu'er, Qi Wei, Yan Qin, Liu Yue and a group of guards. Then from the county soldiers, select some people who are better at kung fu and more loyal to themselves, and make up a team of about 1,000 people. With such a lineup, on the way back to Xijing, no one should dare to fight their own ideas easily, right?

It has been almost two years since I came to Wu County, and I have experienced many things in these two years. Yang Yun has fallen deeply in love with this land and regards it as his home.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at the streets of Wu County, which are still a little dilapidated. At this time, Yang Yun's heart was full of reluctance.

The team returning to Xijing soon came to the gate of the county seat. The carriage stopped suddenly, and at this time, Qi Wei, who had been walking beside the carriage, reported to Yang Yun that thousands of people from Wu County had spontaneously come to the city gate to see off the White Lotus Sect Leader and His Royal Highness King Wu.

After listening to Qi Wei's report, Yang Yun immediately lifted the coach of the carriage and looked in the direction of the morning gate. I saw that there were four or five thousand men and women in Wu County standing on both sides of the city gate, and they looked at the direction where Yang Yun's carriage came, and they retreated one after another, making way for the whole team to move forward.

These ordinary people looked at the direction in which the carriage was coming, and immediately stopped communicating with each other, and quietly looked at the carriage moving slowly.

Looking at these men, women, and children whose eyes were full of reluctance, the corners of Yang Yun's eyes couldn't help but moisten. At this moment, his heart was full of pride, and when he came into this world, he never thought of doing something big and vigorous. When he came to Wu County, he didn't think too much, he just thought about doing something beneficial to the people with his own efforts.

The people's requirements are not high, as long as they can be fed and clothed, and Yang Yun came to Wu County to do these things, which the people need the most, so unconsciously, Yang Yun has a very high status in the hearts of the people.

Yang Yun stretched his head and hands out of the carriage and waved desperately to the people on both sides of the road, at this moment, he regarded this group of people as his relatives in his heart.

"His Royal Highness King Wu has a smooth journey and will come back as soon as possible!"

"Congratulations to the White Lotus Sect Master! I wish the sect leader a happy marriage, a hundred years of happiness, and growing old together! ”

Seeing Yang Yun, the people of Wu County present became excited, and they waved to Yang Yun's carriage one after another, shouting all kinds of blessings.

These ordinary people, who had no one to organize, spontaneously came to the gate of the county seat to say goodbye to the young man who had brought peace and prosperity to Wu County.

Watching the carriage go farther and farther, the people of Wu County at the scene waved their hands desperately and shouted vigorously, so that Yang Yun's carriage had already driven far away from the county seat, and they could still see the long queue behind them and hear their loud blessings.
