In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

When Lin Kunlun arrived at the county gate, he saw several yamen runners in official uniforms standing ready. The sun shone obliquely on their iron-faced and selfless faces, reflecting cold rays of light, which added a bit of majesty. Lin Kunlun felt a little apprehensive. He knew that although these yamen runners had a close relationship with Sun Ying, they were now carrying out official duties and must not be taken lightly.

A yamen runner strode forward, staring straight at Lin Kunlun with a sharp gaze, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Who are you? What are you doing here?" There was an unquestionable majesty in his voice, as if he could see into people's hearts.

Lin Kunlun calmed himself, bowed his hands, and there was a hint of respect in his voice: "My lords, I am Lin Kunlun, a servant of Master Sun. I came to the county this time on Master Sun's orders, and I have important matters to attend to." His words showed respect for Sun Ying while maintaining his own status.

When the guards heard that it was Sun Ying's men, their expressions immediately eased. One of them smiled and said, "So you are Master Sun's men, please come in. However, the county has been in turmoil recently, so please be careful." His words revealed a hint of concern for Lin Kunlun.

Lin Kunlun was grateful and thanked Sun Ying repeatedly, then walked into the county town. In the county town, the streets were empty, pedestrians were sparse, and most of the shops were closed, a scene of depression. He knew the importance of this mission and understood Sun Ying's trust in him. He secretly made up his mind to complete the mission successfully and live up to Sun Ying's trust.

After crossing several streets, Lin Kunlun arrived at Sun Ying's residence. He saw that the door was closed and the courtyard was silent, as if no one was there. He couldn't help but wonder, Sun Ying has always been cautious, how could he let his house be so deserted?

He knocked on the door gently. After a while, Sun Ying's voice came from inside: "Who's knocking on the door?" There was a hint of vigilance in her voice.

Lin Kunlun quickly replied: "Grandpa Sun, it's me, Lin Kunlun."

There was a slight noise inside the door, and then several guards holding weapons opened the door. When they saw Lin Kunlun, their faces relaxed, and one of them smiled and said, "It turns out to be Brother Lin, please come in."

Lin Kunlun smiled and nodded, then walked into the yard. He noticed that although the guards seemed relaxed on the surface, their eyes showed some fatigue and tension, and it was obvious that they had not had an easy time during this period.

When they arrived at the backyard, Sun Ying had already come out to greet them. When he saw Lin Kunlun, he smiled with relief: "Kunlun, you're here."

Lin Kunlun cupped his hands and said, "Grandpa Sun, I came to see how the situation is here. It's already chaotic outside, and I'm worried that you're also affected here."

Sun Ying sighed and said, "Yes, the incident at the mine has affected the county. But don't worry, it's still safe here. It's just that the city has been a bit uneasy lately, so you have to be more careful."

The two walked into the house, and Sun Ying asked the servant to pour a cup of tea for Lin Kunlun, and then asked Lin Kunlun in detail about the situation along the way. Lin Kunlun also told Sun Ying the news he had inquired about one by one.

Of course, Lin Kunlun also learned a lot of information from Sun Ying that could not be made public. Sun Ying said in a deep voice: "Now the county has sent people to arrest the families of those miners, hoping to use them to force the miners to surrender. As long as someone surrenders, the people from the mine will disperse."

Lin Kunlun frowned when he heard this: "Can't the county government organize an army to suppress it?" He remembered that according to Dakun's method of raising troops, each county should have an army to maintain order. Although the number of people is small, it is necessary. However, he has never seen such an army in Xishan County.

Sun Ying sneered and said, "Dakun and Chenping have been in turmoil for nearly 200 years. Which county town actually maintains an army? Those are just collecting empty salaries. I don't know about other places, but at least in Xishan County, I have never seen them train an army since I can remember. Otherwise, they would not be able to control even those people in the mines." What he didn't say was that the group of men he had now were fully capable of defeating the runners of the county government.

Lin Kunlun pondered for a moment and asked, "If that's the case, then this county is not safe. I wonder what Brother Sun's plan is?"

Sun Ying sighed and said, "I am also checking the situation. The news from the north is very bad. Some counties can no longer hold on. Not only have some people organized to resist taxes, but some have also occupied the mountains and become kings, resisting the government. There is even an organization called Chuang Wang, which is said to be very powerful and even defeated a group of government soldiers. I am afraid that for the time being, it will be difficult for troops to support our county."

The two looked at each other in silence, knowing in their hearts that it was not easy to protect themselves in this chaotic world. However, they also knew that no matter what, they had to persevere for the people and things they cherished.

"I plan to take my brothers to Kaoshan Village! The terrain there is relatively steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack! Together with the villagers in the village, they should have no problem protecting themselves! I am actually waiting for my brothers here! If your family has no place to stay, you can bring them to Kaoshan Village! Stay with us! I can guarantee your family's safety and food, clothing and other expenses!" Sun Ying looked at Lin Kunlun and said with a smile.

"If necessary, I will definitely bring my family to seek refuge with Brother Sun! But you also know that it is hard to leave one's hometown! My father and brothers are nostalgic people and I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to leave the village for the time being!" Lin Kunlun said that it was difficult for him to persuade his father and brother.

"That doesn't matter! My door is always open for you! You can come over at any time! There may be some different opportunities in such an environment!" Sun Ying smiled generously and patted Lin Kunlun on the shoulder.

Lin Kunlun smiled and said, "I'm really rude!"

Sun Ying laughed and said, "Kunlun, since you're here, why not stay and have a couple of drinks with me." After that, he shouted towards the backyard, "Someone, bring out the best wine! Today, I want to drink three hundred cups with Kunlun!" His voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly.

Lin Kunlun sighed in his heart, Sun Ying's courage is still as great as before. Well, if it weren't for the fact that his men were so poor, they might really be able to make some achievements in the next chaotic world. Lin Kunlun looked at Sun Ying's men. They were all fighting fiercely on the interface.

"Boss Sun, something bad has happened!" Just as Sun Ying was organizing everyone to drink together, a younger brother ran in hurriedly.

"What's wrong? Why are you panicking?" Sun Ying asked with a frown.

"Boss, it's bad! Someone from the government office informed us to send 50 people to assist them in the mine!" the younger brother said while panting.

"Let us send people to the mine! Are you asking us to fight those people in the mine?" Sun Ying couldn't help but get angry when he heard this.
