The most arrogant in history

"Nonsense. We recruit soldiers to show our loyalty to the emperor and our country!"

Ye Kun chuckled:

"The war in Xichuan, the disaster victims and vagrants, will soon spread to our Pingye County. So, we must make preparations early. Otherwise, you and I will die without a burial place, and we will lose our wealth, wives and concubines."

Zhao Biao nodded: "We all listen to Big Brother."

Ye Kun patted Zhao Biao on the shoulder:

"We secretly recruited soldiers and horses. Some of them were stationed in the Xiping Mountain camp, and we told the public that we were mining and making lime. Some of them stayed in the countryside to train, and we told them that we were the village protection team. In the future, they can attack or defend.

I have 100 taels of gold here as start-up capital. Guan Yong, Jiang Laowu, Wang Dagui, you go back to your villages, buy war horses, and set up a village protection team. I will send someone to deliver bows, arrows, weapons, and armor.

Qin Erwu, Yan Liuhai, Zhao Biao, follow me and listen to my next arrangements."

Everyone clasped their fists together: "As you command!"

Ye Kun was very satisfied and brought everyone to South Street, where they toasted to celebrate in the newly built restaurant and arranged the next steps.

After dinner, Ye Kun returned to Cangjiao Tower.

The Caojiashan family of four were all waiting.

Jasmine and Duoduo, after putting on new clothes, looked even more adorable with their bright eyes and white teeth.

"Jasmine, you are dressed so beautifully."

Ye Kun hugged Jasmine and said with a smile: "You will be with uncle from now on, are you happy?"

"I'm very happy to be a maid for uncle." Jasmine smiled happily.

"We don't want to be maids, we want to be ladies." Ye Kun put Jasmine down and looked at Duoduo again:

"Duoduo, I'll take you and Jasmine to Wang Ganma's house next door to learn knitting and embroidery from her. Young ladies learn this."

"I will follow your instructions..."

"Get up, stop kowtowing." Ye Kun pulled Duoduo up and said to Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, go and invite your godmother over."

Jiaojiao nodded and invited Wang Ganma from next door.

"Godmother, thank you for your help."

Ye Kun bowed, introduced himself, and explained his meaning.

Aunt Wang returned the gift and said with a smile:

"I will follow Lord Ye's orders. But my family is poor, and I am afraid that I will neglect these two clever girls."

Seeing Duoduo and Jasmine, Aunt Wang also likes them.

Ye Kun took out twenty taels of silver:

"This is Duoduo and Moli's tuition and food expenses for one year. From now on, let Duoduo and Moli follow godmother morning and night, eat and live together. We have three years as the limit, and godmother will teach them all the skills in her body."

Twenty taels of silver was more than enough to cover the annual food expenses for two little girls, which was considered wealthy.

"My Lord, this is too much..."

Aunt Wang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Two girls help me with the work and give me so much money, it's really..."

Ye Kun smiled and touched Duoduo's head:

"From now on, you and Jasmine, follow your godmother and learn the craft well. If you can't learn it, I will spank you."

Duoduo lowered his head and smiled: "Uncle, I will definitely learn it."

Cao Jiashan also bowed to Wang Ganma: "Godmother, the children are naughty, you can beat and scold them. Let them cook, wash clothes and sweep the floor every day. Girls from the countryside can endure hardships."

Aunt Wang nodded, said goodbye to Ye Kun, and took Duoduo and Jasmine away.

Ye Kun looked at Cao Jiashan and Cao Fanshi again:

"Brother Cao and sister-in-law, work in my new restaurant and learn to be a shopkeeper. This way, you can see Jasmine and Duoduo every day, and the family can still be together."

Cao Jiashan kowtowed, then pulled Ye Kun to the backyard to talk.

Ye Kun asked: "Is there anything else?"

Cao Jiashan hesitated for a moment and stammered:

"Sir, we owe you too much. Even if we give you all four lives, it's still not enough. Sir, please take... Duoduo as your concubine. The child is a little young, so you can love her a little more... that's all."

"Brother Cao, you are talking nonsense again. Duoduo is only thirteen or fourteen years old."

Ye Kun sighed and patted Cao Jiashan on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, I'm not that kind of person."

After settling the four members of the Cao family, Ye Kun returned to the North Street mansion.

Xiao'e is not here tonight. She is staying with Jiaojiao on South Street.

Qiao Yun and two other women were still making filter elements.

"Sir, you're back?" Seeing Ye Kun, Qiao Yun dropped the work in her hands and said, "Do you want to take a bath, sir? I'll get you some water."

"After a day of training, you need to take a bath."

Ye Kun nodded and went into the bedroom.

Qiao Yun fetched some hot water and scrubbed Ye Kun carefully, with her head down.

"Qiao Yun, last time...I was rude. I'm sorry."

After taking a shower, Ye Kun took Qiao Yun's hand and came to the bed: "I will accompany you tonight and apologize to you."

Last time, Ye Kun was angry with Mrs. Liu, so he was not gentle to Qiao Yun.

And since then, Ye Kun has never touched Qiao Yun again.

"Don't say that, sir. I am a maid...you are the one who brought me out. Otherwise, Madam Liu might have beaten me to death."

"She's not a maid, she's my wife."

Ye Kun hugged Qiao Yun: "Jiao Jiao and Xiao E both call me Brother Kun, why don't you call me Brother Kun too, it will be more intimate this way."

"Got it, Brother Kun."

Qiao Yun snuggled into Ye Kun's arms.

Tonight, Ye Kun was much gentler and more considerate throughout, making up for what happened last time.

Qiao Yun also realized the beauty of love and the joy of a newlywed marriage, and she and Ye Kun were inseparable.

Arrived at the military camp early in the morning.

Ye Kun called Qin Erwu and Zhao Biao and said with a smile:

"Erwu, it's time for you to find a wife."

Qin Erwu smiled bitterly: "Forget it, big brother. If my uncle doesn't agree, I will just accept my fate."

"What do you mean by accepting your fate? How can a man like you be unable to get the woman you love?"

Ye Kun sneered: "I will go to Guanjia Village now to find your uncle. Within ten days, I will let you marry Ji Qinnu and let you take the beauty home!"

Qin Erwu was stunned: "Brother, if you go, my uncle won't agree?"

"Then don't worry about it. I'll go first. You and Zhao Biao can wait a little longer and follow me."

Ye Kun sneered, gave Zhao Biao a few words, and called up eight close followers, each armed with a bow and sword, and headed straight for Guanjia Village.

The light cavalry advanced and arrived at Guanjia Village in less than an hour.

Arriving at the door of Qin Erwu's uncle's house, eight of his followers jumped off their horses and shouted, "Ji Congliang, are you here?"

Ji Congliang is Qin Erwu's uncle and Ji Qinnu's father.

Hearing the shout, Ji Congliang hurried out and clasped his fists, saying:

"My dear officials, I am Ji Congliang, and I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Ye Kun rode over and said with a smile, "Don't be rude. This is the uncle of our Caomiao Village."

Ji Congliang was even more frightened when he saw Ye Kun. He stepped forward and bowed, "Master Ye, why are you here?"

Ye Kun dismounted from his horse, took Ji Congliang into the house, and looked around.

Ji Congliang was feeling uneasy. He wiped the bench with his sleeve and said, "Master Ye, please... take a seat."

Ye Kun nodded, sat down and said with a smile:

"Your family is doing well. I heard that your family is richer than Guan Juehu, right?"

"No, sir. We are also a poor family. How dare we compare with the extinct families?"

Ji Congliang knew something was wrong, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he bowed and said:

"Sir, my wife, Qin, is the aunt of Qin Chou and Qin Erwu from your Caomiao Village. Please be merciful and take good care of her..."

"I know everything, you don't have to tell me."

Ye Kun frowned and asked again: "Are your wife and children not at home?"

As they were talking, Qin came over from the backyard with her daughter Ji Qinnu.

Because she often went back to her parents' home, Qin also knew Ye Kun, and she hurriedly brought her daughter forward to greet him.

"Excuse me, aunt."

Ye Kun just raised his hand and looked at Ji Qinnu again:

"Is this my little cousin Ji Qinnu? She's so pretty, a real beauty. A few years ago, my aunt brought her back to her parents' home and saw that she was running her nose."

In fact, Ji Qinnu was not very pretty, just ordinary.

The height and figure are pretty good.

But girls who are sixteen or seventeen years old, lively and innocent, are always attractive as long as they don’t have pockmarks all over their faces, grinning faces, and weigh two hundred pounds.

"Yes, yes, this is my daughter..."

"Not bad."

Ye Kun chuckled, and suddenly his expression changed:

"Shen Dalang, the leader of the Shuangya Mountain bandits, found you in the prison. He said that you were also an insider of Shuangya Mountain. County Magistrate Liu was furious and asked me to bring troops to arrest you."
