Yunmu knew about the plan to attack the Japanese pirates, and she quickly comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid, my dear mother-in-law, we will definitely avenge this."

"We'll send more people then, so those thieves know we're not to be trifled with," Zhang said indignantly.

The group chatted back and forth about what happened that day.

Chika rushed in from outside, her face covered in sweat.

"Young master, everyone has gathered at the entrance of the county government office after hearing that the city lord has woken up."

After Qianxia finished speaking, Lin Yiheng said at the door, "Pan Qingfeng and the clan leaders are in the council hall. They said they have important matters to report."

Lin Yinan knew that things had happened suddenly, and she hadn't had time to explain many things. She had been unconscious for three days, and there must have been a lot of things piling up at work. She struggled to get up.

Li Shulan quickly stopped her, "Anan, you're in your postpartum period, you can't go out!"

Grandma Zhao and Yunmu, who were standing nearby, both advised Lin Yinan not to go out.

"Your body is not fully recovered, how can you face people?"

Lin Yinan looked up at Yun Mo, "What do you think?"

Yun Mo understood that Lin Yiheng still had many things to do for her, and she felt very heartbroken. She could only nod helplessly.

"Mother, I'll take Anan and be right back."

Seeing that Li Shulan and Old Mrs. Zhao had stern faces, Lin Yinan softened his tone.

“Mother, Grandma, I know my own body well, I won’t do anything reckless.”

Then she said to Chinatsu, "Chinatsu, come help me change."

Qianxia took out a change of clothes from the trunk, and Yunmo took them from her, saying, "I'll help you."

Yunmu, carrying the child, led Li Shulan and Old Lady Zhao back to her room.

With the help of the two, Lin Yinan changed her clothes. Before leaving, Qianxia found a piece of cotton gauze and wrapped it around her head.

"Girl, it's windy outside, you mustn't be exposed to the wind."

When Yun Mo heard her still calling Lin Yinan "Miss," he frowned slightly, glanced at her face, and then looked away indifferently. He picked up Lin Yinan and walked towards the council hall.

When the two arrived at the council chamber, everyone was already waiting there.

Lin Yinan sat down and looked at Pan Qingfeng, who was standing with his head bowed.

"I heard you were looking for me?"

Pan Qingfeng bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, "I've come to offer advice to the City Lord."

"Tell me about it!" Lin Yinan said calmly.

Pan Qingfeng had already prepared his speech, saying, "After this incident, I believe that Second Master Yun can use the pretext of avenging his wife and children to lead troops to attack Xihe County. At the same time, he should take this opportunity to recruit young and strong men to participate."

Several elders, led by clan elders, immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"It's not that we're unwilling, it's just that we're not good at combat."

"Weren't all the Japanese pirates and spies killed? How can they possibly win a war when they travel all the way to someone else's territory to cause trouble?"

Lin Yinan glanced at them sideways and asked Pan Qingfeng in a cool voice, "Why?"

Pan Qingfeng stood ramrod straight, his frail body gleaming, "all so that the people of Longtan County could unite as one and work together more closely."

The elders were speechless; this young man was indirectly criticizing them for not being united.

Lin Yinan knew that some elders in Linjia Village were taking advantage of their age and looked down on the Pan Qingfeng clan members who had later come to join them.

Although no major conflict has occurred, if this continues, Longtan County will inevitably fall apart. He had discussed this issue with Lin Yiheng before production began.

Lin Yinan's pale face swept over everyone, her gaze finally settling on the Yun brothers and Lin Yiheng and the others.

What do you think?

Yunye clasped his hands on the table, his expression serious. "I think this plan is excellent."

Lin Yiheng, the clan leader, and Yun Mo all had no objections.

Therefore, it was decided that Yunmo would go back to do the mobilization work, recruit suitable talents, and set off for Xihe County in three days.

A compensation plan will be drafted.

In farming, fertilizer should be applied where necessary, and weeds should be removed where needed.

With everything arranged, Lin Yinan could finally relax and focus on her postpartum recovery.

Pan Qingfeng was surprised that Lin Yinan adopted his suggestion so quickly. He didn't understand why she, a woman, could become the city lord.

He found the information he received from the villagers of Linjia Village unbelievable, and felt that people had overly idolized her.

After observing for a period of time, he saw with his own eyes that Lin Yinan was indeed very skilled in speaking and acting.

In times of chaos, wise rulers are hard to find, which is why he was determined to follow them.

After the meeting, Lin Yiheng called Hu Shao over and gave him these detailed instructions.

Yun Si, who happened to be passing by, overheard it.

Yun Si has fair skin and an innocent-looking baby face, but in reality, he is ruthless and adept at inciting public opinion and bewitching people.

He listened carefully to Lin Yiheng's instructions, and his eyes lit up immediately. He was familiar with this matter!

Unfortunately, the whereabouts of his gang are now unknown.

He composed himself, pulled Hu Shao aside, and gave him another lecture.

After his guidance, Hu Shaoru had a sudden realization. He then led his followers to Zhang's house to ask for some fried beans before leaving.

They would occasionally squeeze into the crowd, weaving among the older women, and interject with a word or two, subtly changing the opinions of many.

After a long while, the Yun brothers came out of the county government office.

The crowd immediately fell silent, and everyone looked up at them.

Yun Mo solemnly informed everyone, "The City Lord has awakened. The first thing he did upon waking was to think about the people who were indiscriminately killed by the Japanese pirates."

His words immediately caused a stir among the crowd.

He then explained to everyone the compensation arrangements made by the city lord to the deceased: the deceased's family would receive one hundred taels of silver as compensation and priority in the allocation of the house.

Finally, he revealed that he would lead a team to Xihe County in three days to avenge his wife, children, and the deceased.
