Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

At Xianyu Villa, we learned about this matter from Captain Wu who came to visit us after the relevant personnel were executed.

At that time, Captain Wu had just recovered. Although he had been tortured in the water dungeon, he had a good foundation and recovered quickly. Compared with Captain Mu who drank the poisoned wine and was injured, his life was in danger and he had to rely on Doctor Qiao to come back from the underworld. He was much luckier.

Captain Wu is now the one in charge of the military settlement. He is the one who makes the final decision on basically all minor matters. Only when encountering major issues that cannot be resolved will Captain Wu seek the help of Commander Mu for the decision.

As for the "newcomers" who have just replaced four captains and a series of related positions, they all follow his lead now. Therefore, Captain Wu's work in the military settlement is much smoother than before when he was restricted everywhere.

This time, in addition to giving Lin Xiaoyue an explanation, I also came here to complain.

After all, the loss of the defense map is a big deal. If it goes wrong, it will be the beginning of a war. The news from various guards is that everyone should be alert and prepared for war, and at the same time, the search and arrest should be intensified.

The border defense was well guarded because of the timely establishment of multiple defense lines and the presence of veteran generals. There was no news of the rebel general Qian heading to the border yet, and everyone speculated that General Qian was most likely hiding inside and waiting for the opportunity to find a breakthrough.

As for the governor's fall, I don't know who the imperial city will send to take over this mess. I think whoever is sent will definitely have to rearrange the border defense and establish a new border defense system and guards, which will be very busy.

But this is a matter for the higher-ups, and they are just waiting to receive orders.

Lin Xiaoyue got wind of the news and had the guards busy at work. She divided the guards into several shifts, which took turns producing various weapons day and night, with the aim of making the Xianyu Villa as strong as an iron barrel.

To be selfish, if a war really breaks out, Yongzhou City will be in chaos with so many people coming and going. But Xianyu Villa outside Wanbao Town is backed by a military settlement, and the people in the town are not complicated. At worst, she dug a tunnel under the villa to the back mountain. Without saying anything more, she had to leave a way out for herself and her family.

Of course, I believe the military settlements have made some plans for this, so there is no need to worry too much.

Captain Wu was also very busy. In addition to informing him of the necessary situation, he also mentioned before leaving that the reason why the four captains dared to touch the people in Linjiazhuang this time was inevitably related to the Mu family in Yongzhou City. This was the news that Captain Yang's family revealed just before they set off because they were exiled to the pass and became the lowest-ranking vanguard. They did not ask for amnesty, but just wanted to leave a root for their family, so they kept the secret until this time.

Commander Mu agreed to their request only after he obtained relevant evidence, and asked the escort officer to help raise the person when he sent him to the pass.

They sent someone to investigate the matter, and found that there was some connection. Thinking of the previous rumor that the family had shamelessly asked the princess to be their master's concubine, Commander Mu specifically instructed Wu Qianhu to inform the princess when he came over, and leave everything to the princess to decide.

However, I couldn't help but remind you that the Mu family is indeed of some importance. Not only is it one of the largest families in Yongzhou City, but they are also related by marriage to the Pingyang Marquis in the Imperial City.

At first glance, I wonder why there is the matter of Marquis Pingyang involved here. It's true, he keeps causing trouble again and again. I guess he must be tired of living.

Lin Xiaoyue's heart was boiling with anger, but she remained calm and sent Captain Wu out with a smile on her face. She then asked Xiaocao to find Zeng Jin and Liu'er from the reconnaissance team and asked them to find out about the situation at the Mu family and bring more people with them at night to find some work for the Mu family.

I'm too lazy to pay attention to them and think I have a good temper, so I just let them do whatever they want.

In that case, wash your neck well and wait.

……

After giving the instructions, Lin Xiaoyue went straight back to her yard carrying a large bowl of vegetable and meat dumplings.

The mother and cub black bear that were rescued from the mountains were now recuperating in the back room of her yard.

Xianyu Villa is as big as a park, but there are many people living there. Black bears are wild animals after all, and they are hard to tame. Although they are injured now, there is no guarantee that they will suddenly attack and hurt people.

So for safety reasons, Lin Xiaoyue kept the black bear in her own yard since she came back. Except when it needed to apply or change medicine, and needed Chun Xing's help to look after it, Lin Xiaoyue basically took care of it by herself at other times.

At present, it has been more than half a month since returning from the mountains, and there is no need to change the medicine frequently. Therefore, Lin Xiaoyue basically delivers three meals a day to the black bear mother and child on time.

After waking up, the black bear found itself in a strange place and was quite irritable at first. But with the little bear by its side, and not many people coming and going in Lin Xiaoyue's yard, it didn't have to be as alert as if it were in a remote mountain village.

Lin Xiaoyue herself was either lying in a rocking chair in the yard to bask in the sun, or forging weapons with a group of veterans in the blacksmith room.

With no one in the yard, Black Bear could relax and heal his wounds.

After spending more than half a month together, the mother and cub black bear have become more familiar with Lin Xiaoyue's scent. Occasionally, the little black bear would take advantage of his mother's sleep, shake his head, run to pull Lin Xiaoyue's trouser legs, and let her hold him in the rocking chair, rocking back and forth, which was so comfortable.

Moreover, the biped would give her sweet honey. In the eyes of the little black bear, isn't Lin Xiaoyue a good person?

There was a stinky mule that would occasionally wander around the mother and her child, making clattering footsteps that annoyed the two black bears.

Black bear mother and cub: Awooo... Go away, you stupid mule, you are making such a noise that it’s killing the bear.

Uncle Mule: Hehe, you have occupied my nest and come to share my affections, and now you think I am noisy? ? Hehe, I will make you noisy to death.

Several times, the black bear was provoked by Mule Master and almost slapped Mule Master to death. Fortunately, either Lin Xiaoyue was there to stop it, or Mule Master ran very fast with the grease-slip skills he had learned from fleeing with Lin Xiaoyue.

Of course, there are definitely some black bears that are seriously injured and are in the healing stage, and their physical strength has not yet fully recovered to its peak state.

So, when Lin Xiaoyue carried the basin into the yard and saw that Uncle Mule had once again provoked the black bear into a rage, and it was chasing after it with a howl, Lin Xiaoyue felt as if there were bursts of thunder in the sky, dark clouds covering the sky, and a black line was sliding down again.

Take this broken mule for example. If it really irritates the black bear one day and it kills it with one slap, will it regret it so much that its intestines will turn green?

Lin Xiaoyue rolled her eyes speechlessly, went over and put a large bowl of raw meat in her hand on the little black bear, who was squatting obediently in the middle of the yard, watching his mother chase the mule everywhere, which made the little black bear laugh with joy.
