Chapter 139 I won’t forgive you tonight.
Chapter 139 I won’t forgive you tonight.
"Brother Kun, you are so bad. I will not let you go tonight." Chunhua was shy but unscrupulous and bit Ye Kun's lips.
Yu Lian covered her face and turned away.
Ye Kun was about to reward Chunhua, but suddenly he remembered something and smiled awkwardly:
"Chunhua, I can't go tonight... I'm fasting. Two days later, I will go to Xiping Mountain to pay tribute to your parents and family, as well as Miss Yuejuan's parents..."
During the fasting period, you cannot do anything wrong, otherwise it would be insincere.
Chunhua suddenly woke up, gently pushed Ye Kun away, and said with a red face: "I'm sorry, Brother Kun, it's me... I missed you too much."
"It's okay, it will be fine in two days, just wait, little girl."
Ye Kun smiled and touched Yu Lian's head again: "Yu Lian, can your body handle it? Is the baby in your belly well behaved?"
Yu Lian pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm fine, Brother Kun, the child is also very well behaved, probably... it's a girl, she won't make trouble."
In fact, Yulian was only four or five months pregnant at that time, and her belly was just slightly bulging.
It would be strange if the child is not well behaved!
Ye Kun nodded and asked about the situation in Tianmen City.
Chunhua then remembered and took out the letter written by Shangguan Jifu and gave it to Ye Kun.
This is a long letter with a lot of content, reporting recent developments and analyzing the situation.
There was another thing in the letter, which was that Huang Tiandao was causing chaos, and small groups of troops kept crossing the river. Shangguan Jifu captured three thousand people one after another, and he didn't know how to deal with them.
Shangguan Jifu meant to ask Ye Kun if he wanted it.
If Ye Kun doesn't want it, kill them all!
Ye Kun called his personal soldiers and sent a letter to Shangguan Jifu overnight, asking Shangguan Jifu to send all the prisoners and young and middle-aged prisoners in the prison.
That night, Ye Kun chatted with Yu Lian Chunhua until midnight before going to the military camp to rest.
Two days later.
Snow is falling.
Ye Kun took Jiang Yourong, Liu Yuejuan, Yu Lian Chunhua, Wang Xiancheng, Huang Sizhong, and five hundred soldiers to Xiping Mountain to worship.
A cemetery has been planned here with hundreds of graves.
Half of the brothers who died in battle in the past few months were buried here, and the other half were buried outside the county town.
Ye Kun placed pigs, sheep, chickens and other offerings, and poured wine to worship:
"Lord Liu, Madam Liu, all the fallen soldiers, and Chunhua's parents and family, I, Ye Kun, have come with my wife and brothers to pay my respects. If you are in heaven, please bless the people and let them live and work in peace from now on, away from war!"
Miss Yuejuan and Yulian Chunhua both knelt on the ground, crying.
Ye Kun also took Jiang Yourong and bowed three times, then pulled Yue Juan and others up to comfort them.
It was already the end of the year, and Ye Kun took Jiang Yourong and Liu Yuejuan to visit the civilians and refugee camps in Xiping Mountain, as well as the villagers in Yejiawu.
Since it is a condolence, it is bound to cost money.
Jiang Yourong and Yuejuan, according to the script written by Ye Kun, announced on the spot:
"Old people over 60 years old will be given a new piece of clothing. Pregnant women and children under three years old will be given half a pound of pork. In other new villages and camps, 500 people will be given 200 pounds of pork to ensure that everyone can survive the winter and the New Year."
Everyone cheered and thanked: "Thank you, Lord Ye, and thank you, Madams."
Although this visit of condolence was of a performance nature, these days, probably only Ye Kun's family was willing to put on such a show!
Ye Kun was also worried that Jiang Yourong, Yu Lian and others might not be able to cope with the situation, so he arranged for them to return early.
When I returned to the county town, before I even entered the house, Aunt Xue San came to report and said with a smile:
"Son-in-law, that Master Qin Caiwei from Jingzhou sent someone to deliver 2,000 kilograms of fresh pork, 1,000 kilograms of mutton, 500 kilograms of mutton fat, and a letter. They are all in our house."
"That's great, just in time for the New Year."
Ye Kun was overjoyed and went into the house to read the letter.
Qin Caiwei's letter was brief and playful:
"Master Ye, I have prepared 10,000 kilograms of good mutton and placed it in Jingzhou City, waiting for you to come and take it. It will be the New Year after the New Year. Do you dare to come?"
Ye Kun smiled, wrote a letter back, and gave it to the caravan that sent the gift to take back: "Leave your good mutton for me, I love it!"
Worried that the pork and mutton would go bad, Ye Kun arranged for his soldiers to deliver 2,000 kilograms of pork, as well as some mutton and mutton fat, to Xiping Mountain overnight.
At night, rest on South Street.
Chunhua finally got what she wanted and received Ye Kun's reward.
When the dust settled, Ye Kun hugged Chunhua and smiled softly, "Chunhua, how do you feel about your bone joints now?"
"Brother Kun, you are making fun of me..."
Chunhua laughed.
"Girl, I like you." Ye Kun also smiled.
"By the way, Sister Yulian, I haven't seen you for a month. Brother Kun, please accompany her."
"Yulian is pregnant, she should be... comforted."
"Then I'll go call Sister Yulian and see how you comfort her..."
Deep night.
The cold wind was howling outside the window, but there was a warm fragrance in the boudoir.
Ye Kun looked at Yulian and Chunhua beside him and said with a smile: "Yulian, Chunhua, when the weather warms up after the New Year, I will enter Dongba County and take you back to see your hometown."
"Brother Kun, are you serious?"
Chunhua was surprised and delighted: "If we fight back to Dongba County, will we live there for a long time?"
"As long as you are willing, you can."
Ye Kun stroked Chunhua's hair and said with a smile, "But this matter will be kept secret for the time being. I will take action after the new year and quickly occupy all areas of Dongba County."
Right now, except for the county seat, all other places in Dongba County are undefended.
If Ye Kun doesn't take it, he's worried that something might happen.
With Ye Kun’s current military strength, he should not go to fight, but to grab land!
The only one that is a bit difficult is Dongba City.
Yulian and Chunhua nodded together: "Don't worry, brother Kun, we won't tell."
The next day was the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.
When Ye Kun woke up in the morning, he heard Tan Bamao shouting outside the door: "Godfather, there is good news!"
"What good news?"
Ye Kun went out and asked.
"The Xiping Mountain water diversion project was a success. The water from the upper reaches of the Baishui River flowed into the Xiping Mountain Dead Man's Ditch last night!"
"Really? Great, come with me to take a look!"
Ye Kun was overjoyed and took Tan Bamao to see it.
The Xipingshan water diversion project has been going on for nearly a month, with two thousand laborers fighting.
A small dam was built upstream, a mountain range was split below, and a water diversion aqueduct was built in the low-lying areas.
Because the water flows through the official road, a bridge was added on the official road.
Ye Kun came to the west end of Xiping Mountain to inspect, and indeed saw the white river water flowing into the grand canyon of Xiping Mountain.
The water flow is not very large because it is restricted by the aqueduct.
There are now three aqueducts, all of which are temporarily constructed with large bamboos.
Forty bamboos were pierced through the middle nodes, tied together and used as water pipes to cross the water.
Tian Xiao'e's father, Tian Dahu, reported to Ye Kun: "Master Ye, the water flow is not large. Do you want to expand the aqueduct and add some bamboo pipes?"
Ye Kun looked at the canyon water inlet:
"This water flow is sufficient for now. It can feed 10,000 people. The aqueduct does not need to be expanded for now. After the new year, I will use cement and bricks to build a permanent aqueduct."
The manufacture of cement is not technically difficult.
Ye Kun has not done it because he is worried that he does not have enough control over the workers and the technology may leak out.
Now that various management mechanisms are mature, cement production can begin after the new year.
Tian Dahu said again: "Master Ye, with this amount of water, it will take a long time to fill up the Grand Canyon, right?"
"It will probably take half a year. If there is a lot of rain in the spring, it may take three months."
Ye Kun pointed at the canyon and said:
"Pass the order down. There are many poisonous snakes in the canyon. Now that the river water is pouring in, we must prevent the snakes from swimming up and biting the workers and soldiers. In addition, we must also build a dam at the spillway on the west side of the canyon. You must first do the measurement and analysis, and then start the construction after the new year."
Tian Dahu nodded and recorded them one by one.
In the direction of Tianmen County, Wang Meng led his troops to escort the refugee rebels and hundreds of death row prisoners to Ye Kun.
Coming closer, Wang Meng clasped his fists and said, "Master Ye, we have selected two thousand strong captives and three hundred death row prisoners and sent them to you for your arrangement."
Ye Kun nodded and checked the prisoners.
But behind the group of prisoners, there were several carriages filled with young women.
Ye Kun was puzzled and asked, "Wang Meng, why are there so many young women?"
Could it be that the New Year is coming soon, and Shangguan Jifu sent himself a group of beauties as New Year's gifts?
