Chapter 99: Fanning out the red candle
Today, there are no more bandits in Yongshan, and everyone is back on track to pursuing a happy life.
In particular, the people around Yongshan Village sold their mountain products to the new town in exchange for new and rare items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, scented soap, and soap. The people's desire for a better life was high, and the Shenwei Army helped build one workshop after another.
As this area was brought under unified management, road traffic was greatly improved. In places where there were no bridges, the Shenwei Army built simple bridges using a combination of iron chains and rattan. The sound of the caravan's bells lingered in the mountains, and there were businesses making money in every corner of the mountains.
One by one, children leave the mountains to go to new cities to study, and the new life is constantly changing everyone's life.
Fenghuang told him that in Shimenzhai, salt alone fed thousands of refugees, and a new street was built in two years.
Back in Xinshi Town, Zhao Yulin announced the decision of the 9th Column to go north to Hanzhong. All the regular troops of the Shenwei Army went north to fight against the Mongols, and the 1st and 2nd garrison columns were established, which were commanded by Cuipingshan.
Zhu Congwen announced that he would be the captain of the First Column, stationed in Zhenwu Mountain. Fenghuang's younger brother Bao Wenli was appointed captain of the Second Column, stationed in Huanglang, Yongshan and Shimen, and was under the command of Zhu Congwen.
Zhao Yulin told everyone: The garrison army is also a combat force and must be well trained. There is no distinction between first and second class in our Shenwei Army. All of them are first-class warriors on the battlefield.
The brothers in the audience immediately responded with warm applause.
At night, big red lanterns lit up every street in the new town, and the garrison commander's residence was brightly lit. Fenghuang married Zhao Yulin in the ritual of recruiting a son-in-law from the border barbarians. The brothers watched over them, drank the wedding wine, and then sent them to the bridal chamber and locked the door.
When he woke up, it was already bright outside. Zhao Yulin slept in, which was a rare occurrence.
Fenghuang had already gotten out of bed and was walking towards him in duck steps. Seeing his curious eyes, Fenghuang smiled happily and asked: You have several wives, but you haven't seen how a girl walks after her first time?
Zhao Yulin said with a smile that he remembered all of them, but he had never seen anyone as exaggerated as her.
Fenghuang shot arrows from her eyes and stabbed him twice, saying that it was his fault for rushing down the mountain like a tiger, and almost shaking her wedding bed down.
He smiled and hugged Phoenix and gave her a long kiss...
At night, he brought Qu Zhengxiang to invite Master Jueming for a drink. Jueming said that he had received news from Hanzhong and knew about Wu Yuqi's situation.
Jueming slowly told the story of Yuqi's life: This is a story of grudges in the martial arts world. Yuqi's mother Aunt Li and her senior brother were in love and secretly got married.
Her senior brother was a martial arts fanatic, and he had gone to the Sutra Library of Duolin Temple many times to steal martial arts secrets. Fortunately, Jueming secretly disturbed him and let him go, otherwise he would have been caught by Duolin Temple long ago. The three of them became good friends after getting to know each other.
Once, Aunt Li and her husband committed a crime in Henan. They failed while trying to steal the sword manual of the He family of Feitian Sword and were hunted down by the underworld. Their senior brother was seriously injured and his whereabouts were unknown. Aunt Li was also injured and pregnant, so she had to contact Jueming to take her in.
After that, word spread in the martial arts world that Aunt Li's senior brother Hu Yidao was taking revenge on the martial arts world, killing innocent people everywhere. He was expelled from the martial arts world by the Quanzhen Sect and could be killed by anyone.
Jueming was afraid that Aunt Li would be exposed, so he protected the mother and daughter and traveled to Yibin.
Later, they were arranged to stay in Zhao Yulin's White Pagoda.
However, this Hu Yidao, Yuqi's father, gave up on himself and first defected to the Jin Kingdom and then to the Mongolian Army. He killed many righteous people in the martial arts world and had to be eliminated.
Since Aunt Li and Wu Yuqi arrived in Hanzhong, they naturally returned to the Quanzhen Sect.
Last summer, the Quanzhen Sect received a secret report about Hu Yidao's whereabouts, and Zhongnan Mountain sent disciples to eliminate the harm. Aunt Li volunteered, but they were still ambushed. All five top masters were killed and chopped beyond recognition by the devil. They could only identify him by his clothes and sword.
People in the underworld are terrified when talking about him.
Zhao Yulin listened carefully and felt that something was a little strange. According to his personal rules of conduct, if it were him, he would never chop Aunt Li into meat paste and beyond recognition.
After all, Aunt Li is Hu Yidao's wife. Could it be that something went wrong in his practice and he became obsessed and regarded his own woman as his enemy?
Zhao Yulin shook his head in confusion and told Jueming about the arrangements at Cuiping Mountain, asking his master to take care of guarding the new town for him.
Jueming likes the climate here very much. He says that the way of life is simple. There is also a Taoist temple on Zhenwu Mountain, which is just right for him to calm his mind, so he decided to stay here.
When I got back, Fenghuang said that we would sleep in separate beds tonight and she would not serve me.
Zhao Yulin said with a smile that he was scared after just one night, and there were still many days to come.
The woman pushed him down, and said angrily, "Who's afraid of who?" Then she blew out the red candle with one hand...
Three days later, Zhao Yulin brought the Fire Phoenix back to Cuiping Mountain. After serving tea to his mother, they went to see his father and pay homage to the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall.
After coming back, the three women's strength increased dramatically, especially Chen Chen, who reported to everyone that she had vomited out a baby and asked Zhao Yulin to take responsibility and take good care of it.
He was busy serving tea and water to the ladies.
While he was busy, Qu Zhengxiang came to him personally with an urgent letter. Zhao Yulin opened it and saw a secret report from Shunfeng in Hanzhong that Chief Yuhou Lei Man had a duel with Han Yongchao's guards while inspecting Jinzhou and was unfortunately shot to death.
Zhao Yulin was stunned immediately.
Qu Zhengxiang hesitated for a moment and said that this was an unexpected incident and it was still incredible that it happened to Mr. Lei.
Zhao Yulin told him: There should be no concepts of chance and accident in a favorable situation, and we should be suspicious of everything but not wrongly accuse good people. He replied: "I understand." He asked Master Qu to go back to his own business.
Immediately, Zhao Yulin called Zhang Qi and the captain of the guard in to give them instructions, took off his token and told Zhang Qi to set off immediately.
The next day, Zhao Yulin took Chen Chen and others to Cuiping Academy to find Mr. Zhang to discuss the establishment of a football team. Zhao Yulin said that polo is a game for the rich, so let's start an eleven-a-side football game, a national football that everyone can afford to play.
He drafted the football rules for later generations and asked the academy's martial arts coach to select students who were interested in sports to form teams for training.
Zhao Yulin personally went on the field to teach his fellow students how to play football. He ran and shuttled quickly on the field with the football, and finally scored a goal with a finishing touch, which attracted cheers from his three wives and many fellow students.
He stayed in the academy for five days in a row. Zhu Congwen could not bear it any longer and asked Qu Zhengxiang to invite him to the military camp. He anxiously said that no matter how wild Lei Manzi was, he would never play those dangerous games. Why didn't he care about his business and go play football?
Zhao Yulin asked him in return, how did he know that he didn't care? It was just an accident. Hanzhong had already sent a letter and he knew about it.
Zhu Congwen said how could it be an accident? There must be something hidden. He had been immersed in the gentleness of the land and became stupid. There were tens of thousands of soldiers in Jinzhou.
Zhao Yulin stopped playing guessing games with him and asked his attendants to leave. He then told him that such matters should not be spoken carelessly, especially by people in charge at their level.
He asked Master Lu how long he had been gone?
Qu Zhengxiang said that he set off the day after , which was a month and a half ago.
He said that Master Lu would definitely investigate secretly, and he could not rush to Hanzhong immediately, as that would most likely cause something serious. He told Zhu Congwen not to worry and that he could make his own arrangements.
On the way back, Fenghuang walked with him in the yard and asked him when he would set off. The brothers were already packing their luggage, so Zhao Yulin held her in his arms and told her about the changes in Jinzhou. He asked her to make arrangements and set off secretly with the baggage.
The woman quickly recovered from her previous nervous state and was 100% confident in his arrangements. The two of them went back to the room hand in hand.
The next day, Zhao Yulin accompanied Chen Chen and Zhao Sihan across the river to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of a street in Yibin Port. In order to create momentum, Yang Zhishan deliberately organized such an event, hoping to attract the attention of more businesses and make this street truly come alive.
Zhao Yulin is full of confidence in the Port Street. Business travelers coming and going from the south and the north need food and accommodation, and the Yibin city is already saturated with them. Building such a street will just alleviate the growing demand for food and entertainment.
In the evening, Zhao Yulin went to the military camp. Zhu Congwen had already summoned the generals who had returned from Hanzhong for training and they were waiting in the meeting hall. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Yulin got straight to the point and told them that it was time to go back. The second half of the year would be the time when the sheep on the grasslands were fat and the horses were strong, and the enemy was very likely to attack, so they needed to prepare in advance.
Tomorrow we will take the baggage ship back to Hanzhong.
Both Wang Hancheng and Li Dagui said that they learned a lot in Cuiping Mountain, especially the principles taught by Mr. Zhu, which they had never heard of before.
Zhao Yulin said with a smile that when he went back he would see that Hanzhong had changed a lot.
For the sake of safety and confidentiality, Zhu Congwen asked all the generals not to leave the barracks from now on and to go back immediately to make preparations.
The next morning, a letter came from Jiangbei asking him to go to the provincial capital. Zhao Yulin immediately crossed the river. It was the imperial envoy from Lin'an who had arrived and offered a generous reward to him for recovering Wenzhou and Jiezhou. Zhao Yulin accepted the reward of 50,000 taels of silver and bid farewell to the imperial envoy and left the city.
Zhao Yulin came to the riverside and saw his brothers getting on the boat at the dock. He asked Wang Hancheng to deliver the reward money to Xianren Pass and give it to Miao Gui to be rewarded according to their merits. Everyone would get a share.
He stood on the dock to say goodbye to his brothers. The boat had already gone a long way, but they were still standing there. Chen Chen came down from the tower and asked him with a smile what else he was looking at. Fenghuang knew that her brother had her in his heart.
Then she raised her hand and asked for support, whispering in his ear, "I'm pregnant."
Zhao Yulin thought that the woman was about to give birth again, so he asked the guard captain to send someone to invite Zhu Congwen to the hospital. The guard captain said that Zhang Qiquan had to work by the young master's side, and now there were no two people available.
Chen Chen then realized that Zhang Qi had not been seen for several days. The four disciples of the Qingcheng Sect who used to hang around the mansion all day were also missing.
She asked, "Honey, where is Zhang Qi? Why is he gone?"
He glared at the captain of the guard and said that he would send him to Xinshi Town to check on his fourth sister. He was a little worried about her being there. The captain of the guard immediately agreed, "Yes, yes."
Zhao Yulin entered the hospital and Zhu Congwen arrived. He asked him what he was going to do.
He said the tutor doctor performed the surgery to deliver the baby.
Zhao Yulin asked for a wooden female body model and after a brief introduction, he explained how to dilate the uterus, perform a cesarean section, and deliver babies. The group of female doctors blushed and were very embarrassed as they listened.
Some were envious and kept stealing glances at him, thinking, Wow, the Third Young Master knows all this?
It's incredible.
