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

At this time, a guard came in hurriedly to report.

Yun Zhenchuan suddenly stood up from his chair when he heard this. "What did you say? The Fan Mansion's granary was bombed?"

"There was a huge noise over there. Half the people in the city heard it. Half of the granaries were burned down."

"How's the food in there?"

"I don't know. The Fan family sent people to block the news." The guard trembled as he told the truth.

Yun Zhenchuan waved his hand to let the guards go. His mind turned and he looked at Yun Mo who was drinking tea calmly. "Does the Fan Mansion granary have anything to do with you?"

Yun Mo cooled the tea in the cup and handed it to Lin Yinan. He raised his eyes and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's right, we robbed the Fan Mansion's granary!"

Yun Zhenchuan's hand shook and he knocked over the tea bowl on the table. The scalding hot tea spilled on the back of his hand, but he seemed unaware of it.

Are they bandits? They have only been in Nanzhou Prefecture for two days and they have done such a thing.

"What about Fan Xueli?"

Yun Zhenchuan couldn't even stop his lips from trembling. Just this afternoon, Fan Xueli and the five masters who accompanied him were killed silently on the road they often took to the government office.

"We killed him." Yun Ye said calmly, as if they had killed not the head of the number one family in the South, but a random cat or dog.

“How dare you!” Yun Zhentian shouted, then fell into a chair, his face pale. “The Fan family has been standing in Nanzhou Prefecture for a hundred years, and their roots are deep, and their in-laws are even more complicated. How dare you mess with them?”

Yun Mo's face was full of rebellion, "There is nothing in this world that we dare not do!"

Yun Ye took a deep breath and said, "Second Uncle, the Yun Family in Shangjing and the Yun Family in Nandi, all of this was earned by my grandfather, my father, and my eldest brother with their lives. You can't write two Yun characters with one stroke. You really don't need to use our Yun Family's eldest branch and five hundred secret guards to please those dirty aristocratic families. Isn't it better to be straightforward like this?"

The flickering candlelight reflected on Yun Zhenchuan's face, and his eyes revealed a deep helplessness and confusion.

Is he really wrong to do this?

The study was silent for a while. After a long while, Yun Mo slowly spoke, "Second Uncle, you have been struggling in the South Land all the way. It is not wrong to be cautious, but there is really no need to lie on the ground and let others step on you. Now that we brothers are here, instead of cooperating with the Fan family, you might as well try to trust us and regard us as your strongest backing. No matter what, we brothers will not stab you in the back."

Yun Zhenchuan looked at him with complicated eyes. He was really a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. He thought the same when he came to the South, but in the end he got hurt everywhere and had to bow to reality.

The eldest branch of the Yun family has nothing now. How can they be compared with the century-old Fan family? They are still too young!

The three brothers from the second branch looked at each other, shocked by the strength of the brothers from the first branch. Their blood was boiling, as their father was always hesitant and indecisive when doing things.

Having said what needed to be said, Yunye didn’t want to talk to him any more and just wanted to leave quickly. They were in a hurry to open up wasteland and grow crops!

"The Fan Mansion will be in chaos for a while after the death of its patriarch. We will leave for Nanman Mansion tomorrow. In the future, Nanzhou Mansion will belong to you, and Nanman Mansion will belong to us brothers."

"Japanese pirates often appear in Nanman Prefecture. How can we..."

Yun Mo interrupted him, "If you can't deal with someone, can't we two brothers kill him? I don't expect you to help me, but I just hope you don't stab us in the future."

"A family should stick together. You two brothers should stay in Nanzhou Prefecture so that you can take care of each other."

Yun Ye was determined. "We are determined to leave. Second uncle, please stop trying to persuade us. I believe that besides the Fan family, there are many who want to recruit us brothers. If we stay, we will definitely turn Nanzhou Prefecture upside down."

"When are you going to leave?"

"Leave the city early tomorrow morning and return to Zhuangzi to meet up with the others."

After all, broken bones are connected by tendons and blood. If their eldest wife is well, he will also benefit from it. Thinking of this, Yun Zhenchuan felt much calmer.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not try to persuade you to stay. You can rest in the manor for two days. I will have someone send you some things later. If you have any difficulties, please let me know. I will do my best to help you."

The Yun Mo brothers stood up and bowed to Yun Zhenchuan, "Thank you so much, uncle!"

After the Yun brothers and Lin Yinan left, Yun Zhenchuan and his son stayed in the study.

"Dad, I didn't expect that my second and third cousins ​​are so capable. They have accomplished two great things in just a few days." Yun Jing couldn't suppress his inner excitement and spoke first.

Yun Zhenchuan picked up the tea bowl, refilled the cup with tea, took a sip, and after being baptized by low temperature, the winter tea tasted sweeter, richer, and more durable.

After savoring it for a long time, he slowly swallowed it, put down the teacup, smiled slightly, and looked far-sighted, "The two of them were brought up by your grandfather. They learned all the skills from your grandfather. No one can match them in leading troops in battles. Even their brain trust and strategy are superior. I also underestimated their strength."

Thinking of the guard's report and his second cousin's confession, Yun Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. He clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He mustered up his courage and said to Yun Zhenchuan, "Dad, I want to go to Nanman Prefecture with my second cousin!"

"Second brother, you are confused!" Yun Jing scolded hurriedly.

Yun Yu, "Brother, I have made up my mind. You and my third brother will help father at home, and I will follow my cousins ​​in Nanman Mansion. Maybe I can make a name for myself."

After all, it's because of his background.

He was the son of a concubine and was not as educated as his elder and third brothers. The greatest achievement he could have in the future was to manage the shop and land for the family. When his father passed away and the family divided up, at most he and his younger brother would be given a small house and some money to give out. As for the shop and land, he didn't have to think about them because he had to make plans for his two sons.

My younger brother Yunkang is fifteen this year and it’s time for him to get married.

Yun Zhenchuan glanced at Yun Yu, who was always obedient, and said after a long pause, "This matter is not urgent. Let me think about it."

They had to leave the next morning, so Lin Yinan went back to wash up and went to bed early. She didn’t even know when Yun Mo returned to the room.

By candlelight, Yun Mo carefully observed her face. He was afraid that she would consume her energy after collecting so much food into the treasure bag today. Now that her face was rosy and the fetus in her belly was still moving happily, he thought that there should be nothing serious.

He lay down on the bed, put his arm around her neck, and embraced her to sleep.

Knowing that the eldest wife was leaving, Wang flipped through the account books, wrote and drew, and stayed up all night. Yun Zhenchuan told her to give a portion of the valuables in the warehouse to the eldest wife of the Yun family. Although she had objections, she had to do it.

There was also bright candlelight in Kong's room. Yun Yu knelt in front of Kong with his back straight, just like his determination.

The eastern sky was pale with a hint of red. The morning breeze was blowing gently, and the creaking sound of the Yun Mansion’s door broke the silence of dawn.

Several carriages slowly drove out of the Yun Mansion, and Yun Zhenchuan and Wang stood at the gate.

Wang had a smile on her face. "Take care on your journey, sister-in-law! Please come visit us more often when you have time in the future."

"I'll write to you when things get stable."

Mica leaned her head out of the carriage and waved at her.
