It was early winter and it was afternoon. At this time, there were no longer any long-distance runners. There were very few people on the road. Only the sound of hooves could be heard as a hundred or so strong horses galloped from north to south, lightly entering Tongren City.
The horses were fully equipped with saddles and bridles. The fierce riders were also armed with bows and swords at their waists and spears on their backs. There were also small cavalry shields hanging by the side of the saddle. From their attire, they must be the elite private army that the chieftain had meticulously trained.
Yu Junting and County Supervisor Yu had returned. Looking at her travel-worn appearance, it was obvious that she had rushed all the way and was not at ease. However, looking at her complexion, it was obvious that this mission had been very successful.
In the face of an unchangeable fact, a strong military force and attractive compensation, coupled with Miss Yu's glib tongue, the Yong Ni tribe and the Agachi Er tribe finally chose peace.
The main gate of the Yu Residence opened and Yu Junting strode in, casually throwing the horsewhip to the doorman. Her subordinates unpacked the luggage, walked the horses, watered the horses and fed them. As Yu Junting walked, she asked the head steward who came to greet her: "How is the situation in Tongren while I was away?"
The head steward took small steps and followed closely behind Yu Junting. How many Taoists had come to visit recently? Yu Jiahai and Yu Po-man had gone to Tixi Gedore's tribe. Zhang Yutong had gathered the Zhang family's father, Yulong and the rest for a banquet. It was said that Yulong and the Zhang family's father had even suggested that the young master of the Zhang family should quickly choose a powerful chieftain to marry as soon as possible to make up for the heavy losses that the Zhang family had suffered from ceding their land to the people …
As Yu Junting listened, she felt an inexplicable sense of irritation. She interrupted him and said: "Stop being so long-winded. Tell me the important things!"
The head steward had served Chieftain Yu for many years and knew Miss Yu's temperament. She demanded that everything, no matter how big or small, must be reported to her. This was because she often said that behind an inconspicuous matter, there could be a big secret that must not be ignored. Why did she only want to hear about the important things today?
Moreover, Zhang Yutong had some strange plans and wanted to use marriage to win over a powerful chieftain. If this was not important, then what was important? After being scolded by Yu Junting, the head steward did not know what to say.
Seeing this, Yu Junting also knew that her temper was not right, so she calmed down and said, "Alright, if there's anything you think you should say, then tell me one by one!"
The steward heaved a sigh of relief. He thought for a moment and decided to omit some trivial matters. He continued: "Young Master Luo of Tycoon's general store has purchased a large amount of farming tools, cattle, seeds, medicines and cloth. He is transporting them to Tixi. He said he wants to make a fortune from Gedor tribe."
Yu Junting snorted coldly and thought to herself, 'If I didn't already know that you're the leader of the Gu God Sect, I would have believed you! Luo Daheng is your brother, why would he go to the stream to earn money? You're clearly supporting your own tribe. Cunning! "While he was cursing in his heart, he suddenly felt much better.
The head steward said: "In addition, the literary school and martial group supported by Election Official Ye have started their classes. They are recruiting large numbers of students. Many of them are from the mountain tribes …"
Yu Junting rolled her eyes. She did not say anything, but she became calmer. It seemed that the anger in her heart was caused by Ye Xiaotian. Now that the news involved Ye Xiaotian, it was like rain after a long drought. The frustration in her heart was immediately swept away.
The head steward continued: "Also, the court sent an imperial edict to summon Election Official Ye to the capital. Election Official Ye has already left for the capital. Hehe, when he comes back, he will be a chieftain! "
Yu Junting suddenly stopped and turned to stare at the head steward: "Ye Xiaotian has entered the capital? Why didn't you tell me this earlier? "
The head steward stammered: "This … this subordinate thought … Previously, the chieftain and the young master of the Zhang family jointly recommended Election Official Ye to be the chieftain. Now that there is only a result, this is within the chieftain's expectations. It is not … unexpected!"
Yu Junting's eyes became even colder. She said indifferently: "Liu Sha, how long have you been working in the Earth Residence?"
The head steward sighed: "This subordinate has been working in the Earth Residence since I was young. It has been sixty-one years."
Yu Junting nodded: "Yes! It has been so many years and you are not young anymore. Don't work so hard. Pack up and go home. Call your son to take over your position. Start as a small steward! "
The head steward was stunned. He saw Yu Junting's clothes fluttering as she walked down the corridor like a jade butterfly. His glass heart shattered to the ground.
Yu Junting suddenly stopped and turned to look at the white-haired head steward. She softened her tone: "This official was just in a bad mood, so … there is nothing else. Tell the servants to prepare. This official wants to take a bath!"
The head steward's glass heart that was about to shatter immediately recovered. He hurriedly bowed and replied: "Yes!"
…
The curtains were sparse and the fragrance of medicine wafted through the air. The bathroom was filled with dense mist. A curvaceous and graceful body was quietly lying in the clear water. Her soft and tender skin was full of femininity.
Her cheeks were like flowers and her face was like a vermillion. Her lovely and moving eyes flickered with a moving expression. Yu Junting raised her hand and sprinkled a stream of water on her fragrant shoulders. She let the water flow down her smooth and round shoulders. The pair of white and firm jade pears moved silently and were very attractive.
A woman's first experience was very different from a man's first taste of the forbidden fruit. For men, it was very difficult to see any difference in physiology. Even psychologically, many people would not become mature because of this, but it was different for women.
Yu Junting had secretly practiced martial arts since she was a child. She had trained her muscles and bones and deliberately imitated men. Although she was a natural beauty, over time, her appearance and temperament always gave people a faint sense of dominance and toughness.
But now, it was different. After the rain and dew, her blood vessels were unobstructed, and her face was glowing with a beautiful luster. She was full of vitality, and her eyes were a bit softer than before. This was something that couldn't be concealed, so it was no wonder that Dai Tongzhi noticed it.
Yu Junting stirred the water and reflected on herself: Why do you have to travel day and night to return to Tongren? Why do you feel restless when Liu Sha doesn't mention him for a long time? Why … when I heard that he went to the capital, you were so unhappy?
Yu Junting sighed and gently slid into the water, burying her entire body under the rippling petals. After a long while, she broke through the water with a "hua la" sound. The mist was dense, and a red petal stuck to her snow-white cheek, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
"Don't forget, you are the Yu family's chieftain. Maintaining and strengthening the Yu family is your born responsibility! You cannot be someone's vassal, and you cannot sacrifice the Yu family's interests for others!
Ye Xiaotian is also a very ambitious person. Does he really like you, or does he see you as a female pet that comes and goes at his beck and call? You must be careful, you must not lose yourself. He has obviously cast an inescapable net for you, but you still mistakenly think that you are favored!
Don't forget your original intention. You dedicated yourself to him to save the Yu family, to borrow his seed to have a descendant! You must not be like an ordinary girl, losing your chastity to him means losing yourself. You are Yu Junting, not Yu Junting! "
The surface of the water was still, and the mist gradually thinned. That beautiful face became clearer, and her eyes were cold ….
…
Bozhou, Zunyi.
Yang Yinglong lay lazily on the Luohan couch like a coiled dragon, "Alright, that's all. Some things are explained in too much detail, and it will instead make your hands and feet tied. You just have to hold on to your purpose and act according to the circumstances! "
Zhao Wenyuan happily bowed and said, "Yes! I will remember. I will do my best to not disappoint the chieftain! "
Yang Yinglong smiled and said lazily, "Good! Chen Xiao is getting old, the position of First Mu will have to be given up sooner or later. Do your job well, and in the future, you can take over the position of First Mu after your father. It might not be a bad thing! "
When Zhao Wenwu heard this, he was so happy that his heart was about to explode. He hurriedly lifted his robe and knelt down, kowtowing to thank the chieftain, "I vow to serve you until death!"
It was unknown what Yang Yinglong planned after listening to Zhao Wenyuan talk about Ye Xiaotian for a few days. Zhao Wenyuan returned to the headquarters, arranged everything, and immediately set off for Shi Qian's residence.
At Tixi, the pair of schemers, Yu Jiahai and Yu Po-man, once they arrived at Ox-Head Mountain, felt good about themselves and became Gedore's think tank, strategist, prime minister, premier, and retired emperor …
The two of them were extremely passionate about their work, and there was nothing they did not want to interfere with. Needless to say, they were, after all, a native of a region. They once had their own natives and territory, and had rich experience in governing. On the other hand, Gedore's troops originally lived deep in the mountains. After coming out of the mountains, they could not just adapt to life outside the mountains with a piece of land.
The changes in production and lifestyle needed a series of corresponding changes, including the structure of power, the way of governance, the way of management, the way of production, the relationship between the tribes … The originally extremely simple chief ruling system could not adapt to all of this, and they did not have the corresponding experience and knowledge to change it.
Not to mention the resourceful Yu Jiahai, even Yu Po-man, who only knew how to show off his muscles, was miles ahead of Gedore's knowledge in this area. With the help of these two people, the construction and reorganization of Gedore's troops quickly matured.
However, schemers were schemers after all. They only focused on the construction all day long. For Yu Jiahai and Yu Po-man, who were energetic and did not cause trouble, life was simply not worth living. Therefore, whenever they had time, they would urge Gedore to do something.
As a matter of fact, after distributing the land and cattle to the people who came down from the mountains to work as farmers, building a village according to the characteristics of farming, and establishing a more reasonable village management system, Yu Jiahai and Yu Po-man found the carefree Grandpa Ge and continued to instigate him passionately.
"Master, I've asked around. To the west of the ridge, to the south of the Mercury Mountain, the valley is an ownerless land! Because the valley is not suitable for living or farming, no one has specified who owns it. We have to occupy it! "
"What? There are other people's homes in between? Haven't you heard that it is your own territory? Why do you have to cross other people's territories to get there? What are you afraid of? It is an ownerless land. Everything happens from nothing to something. We will be the first! Who cares if it is useful or not, we will occupy it first! "
"Yes, Master. In this way, we will be closer to the Mercury Mountain. I heard that there are minerals in the Mercury Mountain. If we cooperate with the Yu Family and the Guoji Family to drive the Yang Family away, we should be able to get 20% of the profits, right? Hehe … "
