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

The next day, the team did not continue their journey until the sun rose.

Lin Yinan looked back at the hillside. The entire hillside was filled with pits of varying sizes dug by them, and not a single spot was flat.

Hunger drives people crazy, and nothing is more important than filling your stomach.

The sweet potatoes on the mountain have not been dug up yet, and some villagers are still unwilling to give up and discuss as they walk.

"What a shame. I found one this morning that had four or five vines attached to it."

"Come on, you're the only family in the village that digs the most."

"Eat sparingly, it will last you a long time!"

Lin Yinan's family also dug up a lot of sweet potatoes and used a separate cart to transport the dug sweet potatoes.

Many families in the village did the same, so the speed of travel was greatly reduced.

Just after noon, everyone heard the rhythmic sound of horse hooves coming from the road.

"The cavalry is coming!"

The crowd was instantly in panic. After what happened last time, they were all very afraid of hearing such horse hoof sounds, thinking that it was the Hu people coming to kill them again.

The cavalry moved very quickly and they had nowhere to hide on the narrow mountain road.

Soon, they saw a group of about twenty cavalrymen running towards them.

Lin Yinan observed that although they were wearing the same clothes, they were not dressed like foreigners.

She looked at Yun Mo, who was walking at the front of the team. He was riding on a horse, looking at the people coming without panicking.

They know each other!

Lin Yinan quickly came to a conclusion.

As she expected, the cavalry was approaching. The men on horseback pulled the reins, dismounted, and the leader, with twenty men, knelt in front of Yun Mo.

"Yun Yi is late, please forgive me, Master."

Huang Guichang stretched his neck to look forward, with an inexplicable gloomy expression on his face. It was the Yun family's secret guards who had arrived.

It turns out that Yun Mo hid the Yun family’s five hundred secret guards in Gudao County!

He clenched his fists in his sleeves, glanced at his eldest daughter, and immediately had an idea in his mind.

After the greetings, the cavalrymen all mounted their horses, turned around and led the way.

Yun Yi was sitting on his horse, with everyone in the team in his sight. He saw Lin Yinan in black at a glance, and thought to himself, is she the one that Yun Er mentioned, the one that the master likes?

Lin Yinan was keenly aware of his gaze and looked straight over with a sharp look.

Why was the man on the horse looking at her with inquiring eyes?

Yun Yi withdrew his gaze and glanced at his master out of the corner of his eye. The gloomy expression on his handsome and resolute face was gone, and it seemed that he had come to his senses after the matter between the old general and the general.

Seeing that he seemed hesitant to talk, Yun Mo took the initiative to ask about the situation in Gudao County.

"Has everything been arranged in Gudao County?"

Speaking of business, Yun Yi hurriedly restrained the expression on his face.

"Everything has been arranged. To conceal the silver bills brought back by Yun Er, I have arranged for my quick-witted brother Yun to purchase them in the surrounding counties."

Yun Mo nodded, very satisfied with Yun Yi's arrangement. Just as he was about to say something else, Yun Qi reminded him from behind, "Master, Huang Guichang is coming."

Huang Guichang trotted up to Yunmo's horse and raised his head to look at the handsome young man on the horse.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a flattering smile on his face, "General Yun, Madam Huang's uncle is the county magistrate of Qingdao County, and he has many useful people under him..."

Yun Mo understood, and he and Yun Ye looked at each other.

Huang Guichang's words and implications all reveal that you have people and he has backers, and you can work together to advance and retreat together.

Seeing that the two brothers were silent, Huang Guichang continued, "As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times. We can first take over Qingdao and Gudao counties, and then become bigger and stronger. In the future, perhaps the world will belong to the Yun family."

Yunye seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world and snorted with disdain.

This old thief has nothing, but he wants to get something for nothing. How dare he!

Yun Mo glanced at him sideways and still called him Lord Huang.

"Master Huang, you think too much."

There was no disguising mockery and sarcasm in his eyes. "We in the Yun family do not have such ambitions. Please go back."

Huang Guichang felt like a clown. The brothers' ridicule and sarcasm hurt his already weak heart.

After returning to his own team, Huang Guichang stared at the Yun family members in front of him with fierce eyes, wishing he could tear them into pieces immediately.

When he arrives in Qingdao County and borrows troops, even if he cannot get the Yun family's secret guards, he must destroy them!

Huang Yinyin was extremely excited, thinking that her father would bring back good news, but when she saw her father's face looking grim and scary, she knew that it didn't work out.

She dragged her legs forward with great difficulty, her eyes fixed on Yun Mo who was riding the horse in front of her.

Huang Yinyin couldn't understand why they had become so unfamiliar with each other.

In the past, her mother had mentioned to her that Aunt Lu was interested in finding a marriage for Yun Mo. But after the Yun family got into trouble, her father and mother seemed to have forgotten about it.

On the way, she tried to please Aunt Lu several times, but was treated coldly every time.

The girl is shy and she couldn't bring herself to do it during this period, so she decided not to go and embarrass herself.

But she was so unwilling!

Lin Yinan walked slowly along with the team. She approached Lin Yiheng and spoke to him in a low voice.

"The Yun family's son is really capable. He actually raised such a group of Jingwei in private."

Lin Yiheng, "The Yun family has been generals for generations, guarding the border. The family background is not comparable to that of ordinary families."

Lin Yinan smacked his lips, "Why didn't the Yun family rebel?"

Having studied in Jiancheng for many years, Lin Yiheng possessed a very high political acumen and gave her a very logical analysis.

"Since the Emperor ascended the throne, he has listened to the treacherous and tried every means to suppress the Yun family, intending to reduce the strength of the Yun family army. However, man proposes, God disposes, and all the Yun family soldiers died in the battle at Yanmen Pass. Now, with the few people on hand, no food, and no backup, the Yun family cannot rebel. The Hu people united with the five major tribes and slaughtered several cities after entering the pass. At this time, it is wise to preserve our strength."

"And the Yun family still has a way out in the South."

Lin Yinan's eyes swept over the figure on the horse, "Then let's hold on to the Yun family's big thick leg."

Lin Yiheng shifted the load on his shoulders, looked at his sister beside him, the corners of his mouth raised, a smile emerged in his eyes.

"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely protect you!"

The villagers dug a lot of sweet potatoes last night, and today with the Yun family leading the way, their pace unconsciously quickened a lot.

As it grew darker, everyone stopped at the intersection of Qingdao County and Gudao County.

Yun Yi found a flat open space not far from the boundary stone between the two counties.

Seeing the boundary marker leading to Qingdao County, Huang Guichang became interested again.

"Madam, why don't we go directly to Qingdao County from here?"

Mrs. Ge had never been there and didn't know the way, so she called the servant who had delivered gifts to her home to ask questions and confirmed that this was the road to Qingdao County.

The couple decided to buy a few carriages from Yun Mo and set off at dawn.

When they set up camp at night, Huang Guichang took out his few gold and silver valuables with a painful heart, and found Yun Mo again, and asked to buy five carriages.

Yun Mo glanced at him and frowned, "I can only give you two carts."

Seeing that he was indifferent to him, Huang Guichang couldn't wait to reach Qingdao County as soon as possible.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Two is enough. Please help, General Yun."

When he returned leading the cart pulled by two skinny horses, Mrs. Ge was so angry that she almost fainted.

"There are nearly twenty people in the house, including the servants. How can we fit them all in?"

Huang Chengwen glanced at the busy concubine Yao and her son with a cold and vicious look.

"Dad, let's go to my uncle. It's not appropriate for you to take your concubine with you. Why don't you let them stay in Gudao County until we settle down there first and then come pick them up."
