Tonight, Lin Yunqin was dressed very coolly. Her long chiffon dress was faintly discernible, and her body was suffused with a faint fragrance. Her slightly made-up face was as fair as jade.
She had two curved willow-like eyebrows and big watery eyes. Especially when she looked wronged at this moment, she looked even more pitiful.
However, Lin Xuan was extremely unromantic. After receiving the ginseng soup, he said,"Go back and rest early."
Lin Yunqin walked out of the study and walked to the railing. She looked at the bamboo swaying in the night wind and felt even more miserable.
A few days ago, she was still the young lady of the Lin Manor. She lived a luxurious life and was high and mighty.
But today, she had already become someone else's maidservant. Not only was she doing the work of a servant, but she had also dressed like her father had told her to and thrown herself into his arms. However, that person did not even look at her in the eye.
This difference was too big, so big that Lin Yunqin couldn't accept it. She asked herself honestly, she wasn't ugly.
All the officials, nobles, and children of the rich families in the entire County of Yan wanted to marry her, the young lady of the Lin family.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Qing appeared behind her and draped a cloak over Lin Yunqin.""It's windy outside."
"Sister Qing, Young Master chased me out.”
She turned around and leaned on Mu Qing's shoulder. The grievance in her heart exploded and she cried.
After persuading Lin Yunqin to sleep, Mu Qing went to the study room. She first filled the lamp with oil and made hot tea. Then, she stood behind Lin Xuan and massaged his shoulders and neck.
"Qinger is still so considerate."
After Lin Xuan finished reading the last scroll, he put away his brush and ink and enjoyed the rare quiet time.
"Young master, if you want the Lin family to be loyal, you have to be closer to Yun Qing.”
Mu Qing said softly.
"The cold saber is only three jin heavy. It can cut off a head, but it can't cut off greed.”
"If Young Master wants to dominate the County of Yan, the Lin Family will be the greatest help. If you only have power, it is inevitable that you will have second thoughts.”
"Good Qing 'er, I know you're doing this for my own good.”
He reached out and grabbed the woman's fair hand behind him. He squeezed it and frowned."It's not that white anymore. There are so many servants in the residence, you don't have to do everything yourself, just instruct them.”
"Young Master, you're changing the topic again.”
Mu Qing blushed and pretended to be angry.
"No, I didn't."
Lin Xuan smiled and said,"A mere Lin family is not worthy of arm-wrestling with me. If they are honest, I will give them some benefits. If they are not tactful, I will instantly kill them."”
"I'm going out tomorrow."
"The shortest is seven or eight days, and the longest is half a month.”
"Young Master, do you want to take a look around the County of Yan?"
Mu Qing asked.
"Yes."
Lin Xuan nodded." It's too shallow to get it on paper. I know that this matter has to be done personally. Although the map of Yan County is detailed, I still have to see it personally.
Sometimes, a stream, a hill, or a small path could become the key to victory.”
"I've already instructed Ziyuan to leave the affairs of the prefecture to you.”
"No problem."
The candle flame was extinguished, and the drizzle continued. There was a faint charm in the room that made people fascinated.
Lin Xuan set off very early and did not bring Tian Hu and the other soldiers. He only brought Yan Ri.
The two of them rode out of the prefect's mansion under the hazy sky. They left Yanzhou City and headed west along the road they came from.
They crossed streams, crossed stone bridges, and passed by villages and towns. From time to time, they would talk to farmers and take the opportunity to ask for some information.
After patrolling the few counties in the west along the foot of the Great Fu Mountain, they headed towards Broken Dragon Pass.
As the number one impregnable pass in Yan County, the status of Dragon Breaker Pass was especially important, but these days, Lin Xuan had always been guarding Yan State City.
Zhang Wei was the only one in Broken Dragon Pass, so he had to take a look while he was free.
As they headed north of Mount Dafu, the mountain became steeper. The towering mountains stretched into the clouds, and the ravines crisscrossed.
"No wonder Lin Zhentian wanted to place the weapon workshop in Dafu Mountain. Not only is the terrain steep, but as long as you enter this deep mountain forest, you will instantly disappear without a trace.”
Lin Xuan muttered to himself.
"What do you think about using the Great Fu Mountain to hide weapons?”
He looked at Masked Sun beside him.
"Sure."
Masked Sun pondered for a moment and nodded." Hiding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Even immortals won't be able to find them."”
The drizzle was hazy, and the sky was gloomy. Accompanied by the cold wind, the entire Great Hidden Mountain Range was like a huge beast, quietly prostrating on the ground.
"We have to think of a way to take the weapons workshop and iron mine from that old fox Lin Zhentian.”
Lin Xuan calculated.
Lin Zhentian, this old fox, refused to reveal the location of the weapon workshop no matter what. However, Lin Xuan still had the net in his hand.
Although he hadn't figured it out, he had already found some clues.
Northern Liang could only provide weapons and armor for 15,000 people at most.
He would definitely hang on to him.
With Lin Xuan's ability, he would definitely be able to make the county governor of Yan City impregnable, but if he wanted to snatch territory from the Huqiang tribe, it would be a little difficult.
This was the situation that Xu Xiao wanted. He could not let his strength be too strong or too weak. He had to let Lin Xuan guard the eastern gate of the Northern Liang with peace of mind through military equipment and silver.
In short, Xu Xiao would not watch Lin Xuan grow and leave Northern Liang to establish his own sect.
It was even more impossible for him to cut off his flesh to feed the eagle.
Without weapons, food, and silver, he could not recruit soldiers and horses. No matter how great his ability was, he could not display it.
However, was Lin Xuan someone who depended on others?
Subduing the Lin family was only the first step. With the Lin family's strength, they could continuously purchase high-quality warhorses, cattle, and sheep from the Huqiang tribe.
With the weapons workshop, the armaments would not be restricted by Beiliang. Moreover, Yan County was connected to Qingzhou, so the problem of grain was not a problem.
Moreover, the Great Hidden Mountain Range blocked most of the Northern Python's cold air. Coupled with the calamus water, half of the land in Yan County was fertile.
It was just that in the past, they had to face the plunder of the Huqiang tribe, leaving nine out of ten houses empty and nine out of ten lands barren. That was why they became barren.
According to the battle plan that he and Meng Jiao had made, starting next year, they would launch a series of battles against the surrounding Huqiang tribes.
They plundered their clansmen, seized their cattle and sheep, and occupied their land. In a few years, Yan County would become a land of fish and rice.
"Let's go to Broken Dragon Pass first."
Lin Xuan shook his head and suppressed his thoughts. He pulled the reins, and the warhorse galloped wildly, following closely behind.
If he didn't stop, he would reach Broken Dragon Pass before dark.
"Weng weng weng"
The sudden sound of zither music echoed in the dark valley, and the two warhorses became restless.
"Something is strange."
Yan Ri spoke with a solemn expression. The longsword on his back hummed and vibrated.
As a top-notch assassin, he sensed something unusual.
at the same time
the valley
The woman who was playing the zither suddenly stopped. She was very beautiful. She was wearing a long white dress and was surrounded by the misty rain. Her eyes were covered with a thin veil, and her black hair swayed like a waterfall.
As a top-notch assassin, Masked Sun had sensed her presence, and she had also sensed Masked Sun's presence.
Two horses came. Although the woman couldn't see, she seemed to sense it. She got up from the ground and held the seven-stringed zither in her arms.
"I've been waiting here for Mayor Lin for a long time.”
she said.
"I was wondering who it was."
Lin Xuan curled his lips.”
The Great Demon Northern Python, a top-notch assassin, the Zither Demon who was good at killing Vajra with his finger.
