Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Yu Shida, who was already full of anger, stood up suddenly, and stood up so quickly that the chair behind him fell over.

He stared at the person in front of him with a sharp gaze.

"What? Say it again! Which village?"

The soldier repeated, "Yes, it is the manor outside the city that was opened last month."

Yu Shida, who was already about 70% drunk, could not stand steadily. He staggered and held on to the table to keep his balance.

"How did it get burned?"

"General, I don't know. I was on night shift yesterday. When I took over today, I saw fire all over the sky from afar. From time to time, I could hear the sound of firecrackers."

"How are the people inside?"

The soldier shook his head, "Not sure, I didn't see anyone coming out."

"And now?"

Yu Shida hoped for a miracle to happen. He heard the news that the fire had been put out, as the fire contained the results of his research over this period of time.

More importantly, he spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to obtain the materials from other places.

"It hasn't been put out yet!" The soldier lowered his head and continued, "The fire is too big. We can't do anything with just a few men."

This village only has well water inside, and the canals outside are basically dry, so it is extremely difficult to put out the fire.

"Let's go, take some people and go out of the city to take a look."

Yu Shida had just taken two steps when he touched the token hanging on his waist and asked, "Where is my token?"

He panicked! Did he remember to put it on before going out?!

"Second Young Master, I'll go back and look for him right away." The servant panicked and immediately ran to the yard where he lived.

Everything was going wrong, and Yu Shida clenched his relaxed fists again.

A moment later, a servant ran out holding a token and said happily, "Second Young Master, I found it. You must have forgotten to wear it when you changed your clothes this afternoon."

The importance of this token is self-evident. If he finds the token, he won't be beaten.

Did he really forget to wear it? Yu Shida's eyes flashed with doubt.

Without bothering to think carefully, Yu Shida took the token and led his men out of the city.

After leaving the city, it was a dark and windy night. There was no need to light torches. At a glance, you could see that the place where half the sky was burning red was their farm.

Yu Shida's heart suddenly sank.

Finished!

If this trend continues, everything will be gone!

All his hard work and the raw materials he had found with so much difficulty were turned to ashes! !

The fire on the farm was not put out until the afternoon of the next day.

Outside the store were rows of charred bodies.

Yu Shida sat on the horse with bloodshot eyes. He had not rested since last night.

Soon, the doctor in charge of the examination came to report.

"General, the man on the farm was stabbed in the vitals and killed with one blow."

Yu Shida's face was filled with gloom. "With so many people in the manor, how come you didn't know someone came in?"

"General, it looks like the crime was committed by an acquaintance," said the coroner.

"An acquaintance?" Yu Shida's face suddenly changed, and he was filled with hostility.

The coroner lowered his head; this question was beyond his knowledge.

The other soldiers thought hard, but they never expected that there was such a powerful person in Nanzhou Prefecture who could kill so many people and set fire to them silently.

"Did anyone from the Yun Residence make any movement yesterday?"

The subordinate in charge of surveillance looked stern and said, "General, no."

"Where are the Yun family's troops?"

“I have never seen anyone go in or out.”

Yu Shida looked coldly at the charred bodies of various shapes in front of him, pursed his lips tightly, and his hands holding the reins were shaking, "Hou Zang! Send compensation to their families."

He turned his horse around, whipped the horse's back with the whip, and rode away first.

"Let's go! Go back to the city!"

He wanted to see who was so bold as to go against the Yu family!

A group of people followed behind and left one after another. Under the trampling of horse hooves, the originally clear wheel marks on the road gradually blurred until they could no longer be seen.

Yongqing City

The sky was turning a little pale, and gradually the horizon began to gain color, with the deep blue quietly leaving.

A luxurious and comfortable carriage stopped in a grove ten miles away from Yongqing City.

Yunye helped the heartbroken Lu Yashuang out of the woods.

Hearing the noise, Yunmu got off the carriage and helped Lu Yashuang get in.

"Shuang'er, don't be sad. You are still young and you can have children in the future."

Lu Yashuang burst into tears, "Mom, it's all because of my poor health."

"It's not your fault, it's those thieves who are so abominable. Let's go back. You must be missing your mother after being away for so long!"

Yunmu changed the subject and comforted her.

Yun Ye, who was standing outside the carriage, said, "Mom, you guys take a rest first. We'll wait for a while and then set off when everyone is gathered."

Knowing that he still had things to do, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not rush him. They lowered the curtains and talked in low voices.

A quarter of an hour later, four or five carriages drove over from the direction of Nanzhou Prefecture.

Judging from the marks left by the carriage wheels, the carriage was loaded with heavy objects.

Seeing Yun Ye, Yun Xiaobei jumped off the carriage.

"Meet Master Yun!"

Yunye held him up with his hand, "No need to be polite, have all the brothers evacuated?"

"Don't worry, Master Yun, with Brother Yun Si, Brother Yun Liu, and I here, I guarantee nothing will go wrong."

Yun Xiaobei smiled brightly, and continued with a little regret: "I didn't expect that the Yu family got a lot of good things, but it's a pity that I can't bring them all out."

Yu Shida had many connections, and he managed to find a lot of raw materials for bomb research in just half a month.

It just so happens that the city lord is short of them. If she transports these back to Longtan, she can make a lot of artillery shells!

After checking all the goods in the carriage, Yun Ye patted him on the shoulder and praised him, "It's great to get these unexpected gains. Don't worry! I will report to the city lord and give you a generous reward during the New Year!"

"Okay! Then I'd like to thank Master Yun on behalf of my brothers."

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Yun Ye called over another group of people. Each of them was dressed in clothing from a different class, and led by Yun Xiaobei, they returned to Nanzhou Prefecture along the same route.

In addition to Yun Si and Yun Liu who are good at hiding, every time the secret guards of Nanzhou Prefecture complete a mission, for safety reasons, the Yunye brothers request that another group of unfamiliar secret guards must replace them.

Looking at Yun Si who was leading his men away, Yun Ye waved his hand.

"Let's go! Back to Longtan."

Lin Yinan and his wife are both in Chi'an, so Yun Ye decides to take the team to Chi'an to meet up with Yun Mo first, and pick up his son at the same time.

On the way, in order to take care of Lu Yashuang, who had not fully recovered, and the heavy cargo on the following trucks, the team moved extremely slowly.

It was not until the morning of the second day that they successfully arrived at the foot of Chi'an Mountain.

In an open space near the border of Changyi County and Yongqing City, many villagers were making mud bricks and sawing wood, with a few familiar figures occasionally appearing in the distance.

"Second Master, there seems to be construction going on ahead."

The secret guard came to report.

Yun Ye rode forward and soon saw Yun Ming in the crowd.

After not seeing each other for a long time, he felt that his fourth brother had grown taller and stronger.

Without him saying anything, Yun Ming saw the convoy approaching from afar.

When he saw the person on the horse clearly, Yun Ming was overjoyed and ran towards the direction of the convoy happily.

"Second brother, you are back!"

Yunmu in the carriage opened her eyes, "Shuang'er, I think I heard Ming'er's voice?"
