Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 149: Survival in the Ancient World (8)

Lin Yu and others successfully captured Larga and many Mo Nan soldiers, and there was a scene of jubilation inside and outside Fangcheng.

Guo Qi excitedly greeted Lin Yu: "My lord, this great victory has really saved Fangcheng from danger!"

Lin Yu smiled and nodded: "It is thanks to the concerted efforts of the soldiers that Fangcheng was able to be defended."

At this time, the people in the city came out of their homes and lined the streets to welcome the triumphant soldiers returning.

For the people of Fangcheng, this was a moment of pride and avenge. Tears of joy were the last words to describe their state of mind. It was also at this moment that the people of Fangcheng gained greater faith and respect for Lin Yu, and a deeper longing for the world he depicted. Unsurprisingly, Lin Yu, having won the hearts of the people, later exemplified the saying, "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

In the prefect's mansion, Lin Yu began to deal with post-war matters.

"Zhang Chenglong, count our casualties and properly arrange for the wounded. Also, ensure that the compensation is delivered to their families. Do not neglect it in the slightest."

"Guo Qi, organize the forces to strengthen the city's defenses to prevent further enemy attacks. The traps outside the city also need to be reorganized. While the Mo Nan people won't be coming back anytime soon, we still have to be on guard. Also, except for the gates leading to Daliang City, which can be opened, the other two gates must also be guarded. City defenses must also be constructed. Once the Ju Kingdom comes to its senses, they'll likely attack us."

"Li Feng, take inventory of the captured enemy supplies and register them. Reward according to merit for this victory."

"Wei Liangyu, soldier training continues. Anyone who joins the army and meets the requirements will be accepted, regardless of gender. As for the female soldiers, you must train them vigorously. I hope they can return safely from the battlefield."

Everyone took the order and left.

Lin Yu looked at He Shengrong again and asked, "How is Han Canjun's situation?"

"My lord, General Han is doing well. With your intermittent ointment, he'll be back in action soon. However, I heard about your great victory in Mo Nan, driving the Mo Nan people out of the grasslands. I was so excited that I drank two taels of wine, and my wound tore a little."

Lin Yu shook his head and laughed. He could understand Han Canjun's mentality: "You must treat him well and make sure he recovers quickly. We still need his help with Fangcheng's affairs."

"Yes. I'll go check on him now to make sure he doesn't drink secretly again."

"Okay. Go ahead and give him this bottle of medicine to strengthen his body." Lin Yu took out the medicine bottle and handed it to He Shengrong.

A few days later, He Lin returned to Fangcheng with the captives of the royal court and the rescued slaves.

Those former slaves were filled with gratitude to Lin Yu and expressed their willingness to stay in Fangcheng and serve him.

Lin Yu readily agreed and arranged for them to settle down in the city.

Fangcheng currently had few available people to handle internal affairs. Han Canjun was still recuperating, but he did recommend someone. However, this person was a hermit who was now traveling. Han Canjun said that this person was looking for a wise leader, and if Lin Yu could invite him, it would be a great help.

Hearing this, Lin Yu was helpless. Where could he find this person? He simply wrote a letter to Daliang City and asked Mr. Ji to temporarily transfer Li Cunshu to Fangcheng for emergency. He couldn't stay in the rear at this time.

After a series of arrangements by Lin Yu, all policies and orders were circulated in Daliang City and Fangcheng.

Good news also came from Bai Sili's caravan. After their propaganda, brainwashing and instigation, Qingyun Prefecture, which was closest to Fangcheng and Daliang City, became a gathering place for a large number of refugees. Many desperate refugees decided to come to Daliang City and Fangcheng to find a way to survive.

The best news is that Qingyun Prefecture's official Shi Zhongshou is a good official who speaks up for the people. Bai Sili actually got in touch with this prefect, and he even wrote to ask to meet Lin Yu in person.

Lin Yu was a little confused when he received the letter. Was the prefect instigated to rebel like this?

So he looked at Bai Rongxu and said, "How did your father instigate the prefect to rebel?"

"My Lord, my father didn't say much. He just told me about the situation in Daliang City and Fangcheng City. The news of your defeat of the 50,000-man army of the Mo Nan Kingdom has spread. Prefect Shi has also heard about it and knows that my father and I didn't exaggerate the facts. He still admires you."

Lin Yu rubbed his chin and asked, "Doesn't he think we are being rebellious?"

Speaking of this, Bai Rongxu sighed: "My lord, you know what the people of Ju are like. Corruption and oppression of the people are rampant from top to bottom. However, there are good officials who serve the country and the people. It's just that the emperor listens to that woman. She promotes whoever she wants. With just one word, she can banish a first-rank official to the frontier."

Lin Yu blinked, reflecting on Bai Rongxu's words. It seemed absurd to him. No matter how many times he heard the emperor described, he still found it unbelievable that he could still sit on the throne. So, this Shi Zhifu was once a high-ranking official?

"Is he so willing to go to this place? To be able to become a first-rank official, he must have a lot of abilities and connections. Is there no one who objects?"

"Prefect Shi himself said there was no point in trying to persuade such a tyrant. Saving his life would allow him to protect the people. The previous Left Prime Minister had his entire family beheaded because of that woman's comment, 'This old man is a nuisance.' Other officials were unable to intervene, so Prefect Shi secretly rescued the Left Prime Minister's two young sons and brought them to the hermit Mo family in Qiyun Mountain."

"Thus, the court is now filled with flatterers, corrupt officials, and those who buy official positions with money. The few who actually do things remain silent, waiting for the day when the State of Ju will be destroyed."

Lin Yu's mouth twitched violently. He had seen people seeking death, but he had never seen an emperor so stupid as to seek death to this extent.

"Will they still have soldiers willing to fight for them? Will they still be able to fight Wu with equal force?"

"Um... My father also asked Magistrate Shi about this question. He said that the State of Ju had a founding general, Xiang Wentian. Well, their family had made it their mission to protect the Ju royal family for generations. Before the State of Ju was founded, the Xiang family were servants of the Lu family. So..."

Lin Yu was full of complaints stuck in his throat. It seemed that all the people in the world had to serve the Lu family. No wonder they didn't care about the lives of the people.

Bai Rongxu said weakly, "Actually, Ju wasn't like this at the beginning. Even the current emperor seemed quite normal at first. But after that woman appeared, the emperor went crazy. It's not that no one tried to persuade him, and some even found exorcists to try to restore the emperor to normal, but it was a pity that it didn't work. Now, the one from Wu has also become obsessed with this woman and is doing the same thing as the Ju emperor."

Lin Yu had never been so speechless as he was now. "What about other countries? I remember there were dozens of them around us, big and small, but none of them had thought of swallowing up Ju State?"

"Uh……"

Lin Yu looked at Bai Rongxu's complicated expression and thought, "No way, could I really have traveled to some clichéd, bizarre ancient romance, where emperors from all over the world fall in love with me, a close friend here, a male bestie there, and so on?" And the heroine was a heartthrob, irrationally lost, and she lived a life of pleasure for a while, not caring about the aftermath of a catastrophic disaster. Lin Yu declined.

Unfortunately, the more one doesn't want to hear something, the more he hears it. Bai Rongxu tactically took a sip of tea and said, "We've been gathering intelligence, and combined it with what Magistrate Shi said. We've finally learned that the emperors of Wu and Ju are rivals in love. On the other hand, the emperor of Sheng claims to be Yu Wanwan's best male friend, and the emperor of Qi says that Yu Wanwan is his best friend and brother. The others... uh... are said to be lickspittles."

Good boy, Lin Yu can now prove that Yu Wanwan is not a time traveler, but a melodramatic heartthrob. I just don't know the extent of this heartthrob's effect, to be able to bewilder so many heroes, big and small. No wonder Lalga of Mo Nan said that Ju was an idiot.

"There's something wrong with Yu Wanwan... I thought so, she's been able to hold on for so long, no wonder."

Bai Rongxu nodded in agreement. He was also in disbelief when he first heard it, and had to confirm it again and again before he had to believe it. Thinking of the constipated expression on Magistrate Shi's face, he knew how difficult it was to describe.

"Okay, tomorrow you and I will go to Qingyun Mansion to meet with this prefect Shi. If we can easily conquer Ju State, then other countries will not be impossible to conquer. With such a scourge, it won't be a problem as long as we are clear-headed."

"Yes, my lord, you are right."

Late at night, after Lin Yu wrote a letter to the two children in Daliang City, he lay on the bed and began to call Lao Liu.

"Sixth Brother, are you there?"

"What's wrong? Did you remember me? You're not going to ask me to compile some personal information for you again, are you?"

"No, let me ask, can you check the background of this world?"

"Sure, let me take a look!"

"Fuck! Tsk tsk tsk... This time-traveling girl is amazing. All the fish raised in this fish pond are quite willing."

"Uh... Lao Liu, does he have some kind of allure, that aura of a heartthrob?"

"It's even more powerful than that. It can confuse the mind. Her eyes are like a demon's, a succubus's. If she wants, the person who sees her eyes will lose their mind, go crazy for her, become obsessed with her. Go crazy for her, bang their heads against the wall for her."

Lin Yu was speechless for a moment. How could he defend himself against this? If he could avoid being attacked, what about his subordinates? It would be really disgusting if they were to face this.

Unexpectedly, Lao Liu's words brightened Lin Yu's mood: "Don't worry, anyone on your side will be automatically immune."

"Why?"

"Heaven's will. This world has been destroyed by these idiots. Countless people have been killed and injured, and countless tragedies have occurred. When humanity fails, Heaven's will cannot bear it. So, you are the variable that can turn the tide and restore order. So, those on your side don't have to worry about those eyes misleading their minds."

"Oh! That's good. So these heroic emperors are pretty miserable."

Old Six curled his lips and said, "Tsk, it just brought out the darkest side of their hearts. Don't blame everything on women and the Demon Eye. Although those eyes are quite powerful, if the emperor is determined and has no devious thoughts, she won't succeed."

"Okay, thanks, Lao Liu."
