Lin Jinyue wrote a method for making salt, and Xie Hong let them go.
Xie Hong didn't take Yunhe Village seriously.
Making salt is profitable, so he didn't care about his stomachache and quickly asked people to try.
As for letting Lin Jinyue and the others go, Xie Hong didn't take Lin Jinyue seriously at all. If she dared to break the promise, he would lead his troops to attack Yunhe Village directly.
only……
That night, Xie Hong was furious again.
He had diarrhea for a whole day and felt uncomfortable all over. The medicine he took didn't have much effect.
He felt better by the evening.
Deputy General Gao also came in at this time, with a bit of excitement on his face, "General, the torture revealed the truth. With this method, you will be able to make a fortune in the future."
Xie Hong became slightly interested.
Deputy General Gao said proudly: "I asked about the method of making salt. We can boil salt with sea water."
Xie Hong frowned.
This method is somewhat familiar.
Isn’t this what Lin Jinyue gave him?
Deputy General Gao also noticed that Xie Hong's expression was not right, and continued: "I heard that there is a way to make fine salt, but that person is not accessible, I have to interrogate him further."
Xie Hong picked up the prescription given by Lin Jinyue, and it was exactly the same as the one asked by Deputy General Gao.
The salt particles are large, not fine salt.
Xie Hong asked calmly, "What does fine salt look like?"
Deputy General Gao said: "The salt we used to eat in the military camp was actually finer than the salt mined from the salt wells."
Deputy General Gao was very excited.
He also thought that although General Xie had a fickle temper and was a bit stingy, he was quite nice to his subordinates. Sometimes when General Xie ate meat, he would drink the soup too.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Xie Hong overturned everything on the table.
Xie Hong almost gnashed his teeth and said: "Lin Jinyue! How dare you play tricks on me again!"
Deputy General Gao suddenly turned into a quail, not daring to say a word. After all, General Xie had suffered too many setbacks at the hands of Lin Jinyue, and now none of them dared to mention Lin Jinyue in front of Xie Hong.
Xie Hong was almost furious.
He thought that Lin Jinyue would surrender obediently without Gu Shao's support, but he didn't realize that it was all an act!
She tricked me again.
They weren’t even told how to make refined salt.
Xie Hong was very angry. He endured the stomachache and went to the cell to interrogate Lin Jinyue. What on earth did she teach them?
But when I got there, I found the cell was empty.
Those guards had already fainted.
Xie Hong almost fainted from anger.
After Xie Hong broke through the defenses, he immediately wanted to mobilize troops to attack Yunhe Village.
I’ll see if he doesn’t kill Lin Jinyue and the others!
Deputy General Gao was the first to dissuade them: "General, you must not do this. Prince Jing is ready to attack at any time. It is really not worth the trouble for a small Yunhe Village."
Xie Hong almost broke his teeth.
He said to Deputy General Gao, "Take three thousand soldiers and horses with you."
Deputy General Gao was almost dying of anxiety. He hurriedly said, "General, this is absolutely impossible! These 3,000 soldiers and horses cannot include the troops from Lingnan, nor can they include General Gu's old troops. If we take the remaining 3,000, there will be basically nothing left that can be used."
With every word Deputy General Gao said, Xie Hong's expression became worse.
Looking at Xie Hong's face that was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Deputy General Gao's voice began to tremble.
He hurriedly analyzed: "General, there is no need to go through so much trouble. I have inquired about Yunhe Village. Although there are nearly 3,000 people, in fact, the group of refugees is not even 100. The rest are either slaves, farmers, or some wealthy families."
"How could these people risk their lives for Lin Jinyue?"
"In my opinion, we only need to bring a hundred people over there, and I guarantee that we can beat them to a pulp and make them hand over the secret recipes obediently."
After much deliberation, Xie Hong finally decided to let Deputy General Gao lead a thousand troops.
Each one is equipped with leather armor and a crossbow.
Deputy Gao went there with a large ship and only brought half a month's worth of supplies. He actually looked down on Linjia Village and wanted to end the war quickly.
*
On the other side, Yunhe Village.
Lin Jinyue slept until noon, which was rare.
Yesterday, in addition to the military camp, he ran into Lin Xueqing and others at the wharf.
They had not gone back because they were struggling over whether or not to take the risk and rescue Gu Shao's confidants, and at the same time send messages to some of Gu's soldiers who were not imprisoned.
At least two thousand elite troops can be assembled.
The person might not necessarily belong to him, but seeing that Gu Yanfeng and his family had finally decided to rebel and started recruiting soldiers, he felt a little excited.
Lin Jinyue was a little greedy for these two thousand elite soldiers, so she offered an idea.
Rescue was not difficult. These people had drunk laxatives and were so weak that they almost wanted to poop in their pants.
Lin Jinyue and the others easily took advantage of the loophole.
But after all the trouble, when I came back, it was already very late.
When Lin Jinyue woke up, Gu Shao had already gotten up and was in the clinic treating his injuries.
When Lin Jinyue went there, her mother was applying medicine to Gu Shao, with a look of reluctance on her face.
In the past, when Jiang Yun treated patients, even if the patients were crying out in pain, she would call on several of her apprentices to take their pulses, observe their wounds, and consider the medication she should use.
But now she can't care about so much.
Jiang Yun continued, "How can you torture me like this? You even poured pepper water on the wound..."
Lin Jinyue was also shocked when she looked at the wound.
There were many crisscrossing whip wounds, some of which had begun to rot and fester, and Gu Shao also had a low-grade fever.
But Gu Shao didn't say a word yesterday and waited until early this morning to find a doctor.
It was an aunt from the Gu family who covered her eyes, worried that her child would be frightened by seeing the wounds.
Gu Shao had a handkerchief in his mouth. When Jiang Yun told him about scraping off the rotten flesh, he remained silent.
Lin Jinyue got goosebumps when she saw the scene.
In the end, he just slapped him and knocked him unconscious to avoid the pain.
Everyone in the Gu family: ...
Well, that's one way to do it.
When Gu Shao woke up again, it was already afternoon.
He wanted to find Lin Jinyue to thank her, but was stopped by General Gu and had a long conversation with him.
It sounded very grand at first.
After that, there seemed to be only one theme: their family wanted to rebel, and they needed to rely on Lin Jinyue.
Gu Shao listened to his grandfather's words with some disbelief.
"Grandpa, what did you say? Are we going to rebel and join the Lin family?"
"What? We still have to instigate the Lin family to rebel?"
Gu Shao looked at his uncle and grandfather, nodded solemnly, and walked out of the house in a daze.
If it weren't for the unbearable pain in his body, he would have thought it must be a dream.
He felt uncomfortable all over yesterday and had no time to check on the situation in the village. But now, he realized that Yunhe Village had changed a lot after not being there for a while.
It is surrounded by tall city walls with tall watchtowers, and the people on top of the walls are on guard all the time.
There were even quite a few tall buildings in the village that he had never seen before.
It is built with bricks and tiles, and the tallest one has three floors, which is rare even in the capital.
Looking at the road under his feet, he didn't know what material it was made of. It was not loose like mud, nor was it paved with blue bricks like the one in the capital.
In short, it is very comfortable to ride, and the carriage is not that bumpy.
This is not a village, it's clearly a small town.
The level of bustle and prosperity here is even better than that of ordinary towns.
Can……
Even so, his grandfather and uncle should not have instigated him to rebel!
