Traveled through time with my ex-boyfriend [Chang Tian]

Chapter 86

【You are not a disaster, but a lucky star】

Thousands of Li Jiajun, riding on horses and wearing silver armor, surrounded the Ye family cave.

Li Yao's meaning is very clear, Jin Wuwei leaves by himself, no problem, it is impossible to take Ye Fan away.

Xiaowei Fan is a man of knowledge, and at the same time he respects Li Yao quite a lot. He immediately cupped his fists and waved to his people, "Go!"

As for the half-dead eunuch in red, the guards ignored him.The rest of the young eunuchs were afraid that they would not be able to confess, so they carried him into the car tremblingly.

The galloping horses raised waves of smoke and dust. When the decree-declaring team came with great momentum, they returned gloomy.

However, this is not the end, but the beginning.

Internally, fortifications need to be built, just in case.

Li Yao sent fast horses to recall the peasants who were digging the canal, and built earth walls and watchtowers in Qingxi Valley, Jinjiang Wharf, and the west charcoal field.

With an idea, Ye Fan found some pictures of Wubao from the system and showed them to Li Yao.

Li Yao's reaction was quite calm, he just put Ye Fan's hand into his sleeve and squeezed it secretly - a little stronger than usual, that's all.

Mr. Mo and the others felt like they had found a treasure, and they didn't eat or drink any tea, and got together to have a heated discussion.

Seeing everyone nervous and busy, Ye Fan felt a little complicated.

He suppressed his disappointment in his heart, and deliberately joked, "Does this count as a disaster for me?"

Li Yao rubbed the top of his hair, his voice was low and warm, "It's not your fault."

There is nothing wrong with you exchanging flour fruit trees to solve the famine in the Northland; it is not wrong for you to gather refugees and would rather infiltrate spies than miss those who really need help.

Even if there is a "disaster", it is because some people are greedy and ambitious, and it has nothing to do with you.

"You are not a disaster, but a lucky star." Master Chang'an Hou emphasized specially.

Ye Fan grinned, feeling relieved all of a sudden.

It turned out that all he needed was such a sentence.

Let him know that the people he cares about most understand him, support him, and affirm his approach.Instead of pampering him simply because of love, pampering him, and selflessly cleaning up the mess for him.

Ye Fan hugged Li Yao vigorously, and secretly kissed him while others were not paying attention.

Marquis Chang'an raised his eyebrows, and wanted to deepen the kiss, but the boy got on the donkey and ran away.

Fat Tuan lay on Ye Fan's head, waving his thin hands to bid farewell to Li Yao, "Ex-boyfriend, goodbye!"

Now he is less and less afraid of Li Yao, and instead feels that he is very kind and safe, just like the feeling Ye Fan gave him at the beginning.

Li Yao pursed his lips, ex-boyfriend?

Soon it won't be.

***

Ruan Yu received a secret mission - to find out the traitor.

Yes, the nails of the imperial court have been mixed in here, and they are hidden among the villagers.

The capital is thousands of miles away. If there is no one to pass the letter, it is impossible for the officials to know the benefits of the fruit trees so quickly, let alone know that these trees are related to Ye Fan.

Even the villagers in Hanjialing believed that Li Yao found the mianguo tree from the island in the south.

Li Yao had doubts for a long time, and ordered Ruan Yu to investigate secretly.

While the villagers were drying the adobes and building the fort day and night, a dingy little soil pigeon flew up from the back slope of Beilai Village, and was shot down by Ruan Yu with a slingshot as soon as it left the village. .

There is a thin bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, which is not a local thing in Daning.

Ruan Yu put the bamboo tube into his sleeve, pulled the pigeon's wings, and hooked the little long follower's shoulder with a smile, "Tonight's snacks are ready."

The long follower chuckled, Master Hou really didn't lie to him, he followed Vice General Ruan and had meat to eat!

He looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was personally assigned to Ruan Yu by Li Yao. Besides him, there were two maids, two servants, and seven or eight rough envoys in the courtyard.

By the way, there is also a separate courtyard, just between Li Yao and Li Sanlang.

Ruan Yu was very puzzled, Lord Hou has finally seen my talent, is he planning to use me again?

With this in mind, this guy worked extremely hard for several days.

Li Yao didn't hear how he planned "thoroughly" and how he shot down the pigeons with "excellence and prowess". He just turned his back and walked to the window, staying away from the chatter.

On the contrary, Li Sanlang listened with gusto and added a few words from time to time.

Ruan Yu spoke more vigorously.

Li Yao crushed the bamboo tube and took out the note inside.

On a light and thin piece of paper, densely written in small letters at the end of a rope, it not only explained the recent layout of Hanjialing, but also drew a topographic map around the village.

Holding a folding fan in his hand, Mr. Mo shook his head secretly, "It's really a talent, it's a pity..."

As expected, the nail was the person they had expected at first.

Mr. Mo looked solemn, "How does Lord Hou plan to deal with it?"

"Leave it to dry first."

Li Yao put the note in his palm, twisted it seemingly casually, and when he opened it again, it had already turned into powder.

"Make up a fake one and send it out."

Mr. Mo understood his plan and held his hand in response.

***

Not only Hanjialing, but the entire Daning county was strictly protected by the Li family's army.

The foundation of the Li family was originally in Jinzhou. This time, [-] soldiers from Jinzhou went south in batches, broke them into pieces, and ambushed around Daning County.

There are also 20 private soldiers in Huanghedian, which were left by General Li to Li Yao, and they only said that they were his old subordinates.

In the past, Li Yao didn't know about the cases of these people, and he didn't specifically inquire about them, but now he gradually understood that these people are not so much his father's subordinates, but rather Prince Yude's subordinates.

In addition, there are refugees gathered by Li Yao in Qingxi Valley—but in just a few months, the number has reached as many as [-].

It's really sad that the court doesn't reflect on the mistakes of the government, but puts their minds on this little fruit!

Among the three parties, only Qingxi Valley is full of recruits.

Li Yao is not happy to start a war, but just in case.

He made the worst plan. If these recruits want to survive on the battlefield, they have to practice to death during these days.

Qingxi is still green and grassy, ​​but it has lost its previous peace.

Ye Fan stood on the cliff, looking at the soldiers below, he could hear the slogans of enthusiasm, some fell on the meadow, some fell into the stream, and some did not escape his companion's spear, and there was a bloodstain on his face ...

The blood in the men's bones was stimulated, each of them put on a hideous face, and tried their best to survive.

——This is just training.

Ye Fan's heart sank a little bit.

He realized the cruelty of war.

People he is familiar with may lose their lives, and those he is not familiar with are also tied to the family behind them.

Can it be avoided?

Ye Fan thought about it, considering the current situation alone, it is possible.

"I'm going to the capital." Ye Fan looked at Li Yao and said seriously.

Li Yao pursed his lips, pulled the cloak around him, and said in a deep, undeniable voice, "Don't think too much about it."

Ye Fan raised his arms rebelliously, deliberately messing up his cloak.

"Since there is a better solution, why sacrifice others? I have a fat group and a white deer, at least there is no problem with self-protection. If you are worried, you can go with me."

He looked at Li Yao with scorching eyes, with a firm yet faint request.

Li Yao sighed softly, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes - he didn't want to see him showing such a look, obviously to protect him.

He was silent for a moment, and explained softly: "I have ordered my subordinates in Beijing to contact the East Palace. If His Royal Highness accepts my conditions, he will come forward to dissuade the officials."

As long as the imperial court does not send troops, this battle will naturally not be fought.

Ye Fan was both pleasantly surprised and astonished—two lifetimes combined, this is the first time Li Yao patiently talked about his plan.

Especially the modern Li Yao, who has always regarded Ye Fan as a child, not only taking care of big and small things all by himself, but also taking care of the difficulties alone, refusing to tell Ye Fan anything, full of machismo.

He nodded heavily, "In this case, let's wait for the prince's reply!"

Li Yao smiled and fastened the cloak for him again.

Ye Fan bent his eyes and didn't move any more.

***

The news from the capital came quickly, and the crown prince accepted Li Yao's conditions, which meant that the one on the dragon chair also accepted.

So, according to what was said in advance, Ye Fan prepared three thousand catties of noodles, took out five hundred seeds, and sealed the planting method to Li Yao's subordinate, Deputy General Qu.

There are seeds and noodles, and they are given by Li Yao on his own initiative. For those people in the court, it seems that they have taken advantage of the sky.

As everyone knows, whether it is Li Yao or Ye Fan, they have no intention of hiding it at all. Even if the officials don't say it, they will gradually spread it to benefit the people of the world.

However, there are always some narrow-minded people in this world who regard it as a bargaining chip in power disputes.

Li Yao simply pushed the boat along and let them take advantage of this "cheap".

Although there are free things to get, there is no one in the capital who is brave and knowledgeable, and no one dares to come to Daning.

Li Yao sneered, and generously decided to send someone over there.The two parties made an appointment to meet thirty miles outside Xijing City.

Li Jiajun went all the way south and rode fast horses for more than ten days to reach Shanzhou, which is still one day away from Xijing.

Deputy General Qu kept his mind open and sent scouts disguised as ordinary people to investigate outside the city of Xijing. Unexpectedly, they ran into the Xicheng army ambushing there.

The scout came back running and jolting, and hurriedly reported the news.

When Deputy General Qu heard this, he immediately gave the order that the things will not be given away, and they should slap their ass and leave!

They also kept an eye on their movement over there, and when they saw them running back overnight, they immediately understood that they had been exposed.

The general who led the team was afraid of taking responsibility, so he didn't chase after him immediately, but sent someone back to the capital to ask the officials for instructions.

The official didn't say anything, Shen Xiong, the servant of the Ministry of War, jumped up - he had a clue in Li Yao's hands, and he was more urgent than anyone else to get rid of the Li family.

Hearing Shen Xiong's instigation, the officials immediately ordered: "Chase! Hurry up! Order all states along the way to block the city gates!"

This idea was also made by Shen Xiong, he predicted that Li Jiajun would not be able to run fast with his things, and he intended to gain both people and goods.

I don't think so, the Li family's army is all handsome, but it's not as deep as the water in the capital. Every time a general makes a decision, the first thing to consider is not how to win, but how to not lose his reputation and not be attacked by political opponents.

Lieutenant General Nagqu ran to the Hezhong Mansion, watched the pursuers follow, and immediately scattered three thousand catties of noodles to the villages along the way, took the seeds with him, and led his soldiers, plunged into the dense forest.

The chasing soldiers are busy grabbing noodles and fruits, so why are they still thinking about chasing people?

Even so, the villagers did everything possible to hide a lot, and the family thought they could live through this winter.

When the news was sent back to the Li family, Li Sanlang yelled: "Old thief of the Shi family, the dog has eaten his conscience!"

Ruan Yu scolded along with him, wishing he could bring someone to kill him in the capital and drive Shi Qiu off the dragon chair.

Li Silang was equally indignant, and said roughly: "Brother, give me an order!"

Li Yao shook his head with a calm expression.

He had expected such a result a long time ago, and at this moment another worry arose in his heart.

The older Shi Qiu was, the less courageous he was. Originally, he was [-]% sure that he would be able to hold the opponent.However, no.Then there is only one explanation - he has found a more powerful partner than himself.

Is it Anzhou, or Nandi?

It can't be Langya, Li Yao understands the character of King Langya, since he chose to cooperate with him, he will never break his promise.

There is also a worse result-Khitan.

Apart from Shen Xiong, the court did not know how many Khitan nails there were. Even the officials who were able to rise to the top were inseparable from a certain Khitan prince.

Speaking of which, Li Yao entered the Khitan camp and took the lives of more than a dozen Khitan nobles, but he did not kill them all.Now it is the prince who was related to Shi Qiu back then who is in power and has become the new Khitan king.

Li Yao took a look, if Shi Qiu was really a slave to Khitan, then someone else should sleep in the palace of the imperial city.

***

In the attic of the Li family, the lights stay on all night.

Li Yao arranged closely with his confidants, and Ye Fan was impatient to listen, so he walked slowly around the village with Fat Tuan and Bailu.

Li Yao didn't stop him, but secretly ordered Mo Qing to protect him from a distance.

Fat Tuan told Ye Fan quietly, and he just pretended not to know.

Unknowingly, I walked to the edge of the Jinjiang River. At this time, it has entered the winter moon, and there is a thin layer of ice floating on the surface of the river.

The pier was originally built with dark wooden boards, with blue stone steps and thin moss. Ladies standing on the upper floor can see rows of small docks with pointed tops, and the boatmen are shirtless. Shouting slogans, they moved down boxes and bags of goods.

When the children in the village come to fish, they will sneak onto the boat, steal the steward's fishing net and throw it into the river.Even if they are discovered, they will only receive a few words of scolding, and then they will get a basket of fish.

However, at this time, these are all gone, and replaced by a section of earth wall more than two feet high, which cuts off the Jinjiang River. A cylindrical dock is built in the middle of the earth wall, and there are watchtowers and shooting port catapults.

Just without the fishnets and laughter.

The west charcoal field, in the northwest of Yushuzhuang, is a moderately high and not low earth mountain, with long mine holes dug underneath, and carts of black charcoal are pulled out by workers along the track.

Ye Fan came up with this track. Of course, he referred to the information in the system, which saved a lot of manpower and improved efficiency.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and this batch of charcoal was originally intended to be distributed to the villagers for warmth in the winter, but at this time they were pulled into the furnace to make iron armor and weapons.

Ye Fan took out a blueprint from his purse, which showed a big-bellied stove, the kind used in northern rural areas in the 90s, with briquettes in it, which is good for heating and cooking.

He originally wanted to make it, put one in each room, bake a taro, cook edamame, drink a little wine, watch the snow and the moon with his ex-boyfriend, from poetry to poetry to philosophy of life...

It is estimated that it will not work.

Ye Fan's mood was extremely low, he never expected that Li Yao's righteousness would attract the other party's betrayal.

Didn't anyone have a clear mind in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?
