Chapter 23: Early Morning

Ye Xun knows the taste of the marrow, the mental method on this sunflower treasure book, the more he practiced, the more he felt that the inner mystery was endless, and at the same time, he also wanted to recover the body of a man as soon as possible, so he would hurry up and practice as soon as he had time, but he also knew the truth that if he wanted to hurry, he would not reach it, and every time he practiced, it was only a matter of moderation, but even so, after practicing, it still made him infinitely energetic.

After speaking, he ignored the two little girls, sat cross-legged on the seat, and then closed his eyes.

In the eyes of the two girls, Ye Xun's performance was too strange, they were originally sold to the Li Mansion, and before they could be trained, Li Ruzhen went on the expedition, but the younger sister of the two little sisters was very spicy and often disobeyed the discipline, so she was locked up by the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, ready to educate them.

didn't expect Ye Xun to send someone to ransack the Li Mansion at this time, and he didn't expect Liang Zhen to come back to the twins in order to please Ye Xun.

The two sisters' families were killed by the Tartars, so they hated the Tartars very much, and when Liang Zhen and the others robbed the Li family, they were pretending to be Tartars, which made the two girls think that Ye Xun was a Tartar.

These two young ladies, the younger sister is spicy, but the elder sister is very timid.

Seeing that Ye Xun no longer cared about them, the two little sisters squatting in the corner were indeed a little unbearable, after all, it was not summer yet.

My sister glanced at Ye Xun for a while, and saw that Ye Xun had never moved like an old monk, so she couldn't help gritting her teeth, and pulled her sister to Ye Xun's big kang.

In the north, if there is no kang in the house, it is impossible to survive at all, and the fire at the bottom is vigorous, and the kang quilt is spread on top, so it is very comfortable to lie on it.

After tossing for most of the night, and being frightened, I finally couldn't stand it, and the two young ladies didn't dare to use Ye Xun's quilt to snuggle together, and after a while, they fell asleep unconsciously.

Ye Xun, who seemed to be settled with his eyes closed, showed an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Ye Xun, who had completed his work, walked towards the city alone, Liang Zhen and Zhang Qi wanted to follow, but they were all driven back to rest by him.

These two guys knew that they had won five hundred taels of silver, but they didn't sleep all night in excitement, Ye Xun still pointed to them to help, how can they do it if they don't rest?

The sky was already light, and the generals on duty at the head of the city saw Ye Xun arriving alone, and hurriedly came over to salute.

This is a hundred households, Ye Xun remembers that he seems to have a surname, and he forgot what his specific name is.

After nodding and saying hello, Ye Xun, accompanied by Xiang Baihu, began to patrol the city.

"Meat and food, right? Remember, the soldiers and the people must be fed, and no one should be denied."

"Father-in-law, don't worry, at this time, whoever dares to withhold the meat and food rewarded by the brothers-in-law, even if the father-in-law doesn't say anything, the villain will also skin him."

"This is the best, there will be money donated by the squires when you go back, and you can't deduct it either..."

Ye Xun came to the city wall while instructing, and looked into the distance, because the sky was not completely bright, so he could not see the Jurchen camp.

Today is the most critical day, if those herbs don't work, then you have to face a tough battle, now it seems that the military spirit is no problem, but after all, there are too few soldiers who can fight, and it is impossible to be those wolf-like Tartar opponents.

Accompanied by Xiang Baihu, Ye Xun took another look at the firearms and other defensive equipment arranged at the head of the city.

Ye Xun remembered reading on Baidu that the reason why the firearms of the Ming Dynasty lagged behind the West was mainly in iron smelting.

Ye Xun has never studied ironmaking, but he still admires the wisdom of his ancestors, and believes that as long as time passes, he will definitely be able to refine wrought iron or steel.

On the day of Ye Xun's rebirth, most of the defensive equipment in the city was used, but fortunately, the Jurchen army was scared away by Ye Xun, so the soldiers and civilians collected a lot of arrows and other equipment under the city, as for gunpowder, there is no shortage, because Tieling is a guard, and for the needs of the war, there is a gunpowder workshop here.

Although the artillery bird system is not satisfactory, but last night's Divine Fire Flying Duck and Sky-Shaking Thunder, coupled with the Divine Machine Arrow and Hundred Tigers that I saw today, all made Ye Xun sigh at the wisdom of the ancestors.

Ye Xun couldn't help but secretly make up his mind that after the Jurchen army withdrew, he would definitely vigorously develop firearms.

Now in Liaodong, in terms of field warfare, the Ming army is far from being the opponent of the Jurchens, if the firearms can no longer keep up, then never want to defeat the Jurchens, Ye Xun can only watch history repeat itself.

Unconsciously, the sky had completely brightened, and the silent Tieling City had become noisy.

After the city gate was opened, dozens of knights rode out, this was the first group of scouts to leave the city, if the Jurchens did not come to attack, there would be a second group later.

Ye Xun was talking to Xiang Baihu at the head of the city, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the city, and there was not much time, and he saw Li Rulong striding up to the city with a smile on his face.

Ye Xun knows that this guy is here to share the spoils, but how can you say that it is also your family's old mansion, are you so happy? Besides, the old slave's army is still eyeing outside, so you are really not afraid at all? Yesterday didn't seem like this!

"Father-in-law Ye is early! I just went to your house, but I didn't expect you to come out so early."

There was still some distance away, and Li Rulong said hello loudly...

Looking at Li Rulong with a gloating expression, Ye Xun suddenly understood why the Li family chose him as a substitute for the dead ghost, the big family employs people, and it really has its own uniqueness, this guy does have a way to die.

Sighing, Li Rulong had already come to the front, bowed down, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, rest assured, everyone is under control, to ensure that there is no leakage, what should I do next, please let my father-in-law make it clear"

Ye Xun squinted at him, this kid has something to say! What's the matter, what evidence do you want to leave in order to blackmail Lao Tzu in the future?

seemed to feel Ye Xun's displeasure, the expression on Li Rulong's face froze, but then he said: "If my father-in-law wants to get rid of future troubles forever, I will do it in the end."

Ye Xun suddenly smiled, motioned for Li Rulong to follow him to the city wall, looked at the outline of the wilderness mountain range that gradually became clear in the distance, and said: "The silver harvested yesterday is still being counted, and it is estimated that it will not be less than 500,000 taels, although our family needs this silver very much, but this is your Li family's property after all, you can send people to move to your house tomorrow!" ”

"By the way, today there will be another notice, telling those rich gentry and merchants in the city that each family must donate more than 1,000 taels of military salary, otherwise the army will no longer be responsible for their safety"

Listening to Ye Xun's words, Li Rulong couldn't help but be overjoyed, although he also wanted this silver, he didn't want to swallow it alone, because he also knew that he couldn't eat it himself, but he never expected Ye Xun to give it to him.

As soon as his brain turned, he suddenly understood, I was afraid that this Ye Gonggong felt that the food was too ugly, and he was waiting for him to take the initiative to serve it.

Since this is the case, it will be easy to do, when the money is in hand, take out 100,000 taels and send it, are you afraid that this little eunuch will not be satisfied?

Greed had already confused Li Rulong's mind, so much so that he didn't notice the chilling murderous intent in Ye Xun's eyes...
