Chapter 1066 The Second Trick to Yuwen Kun
Lin Yuesha sat down and poured herself a cup of tea.
Xu Da's reaction time was too long; if it had dragged on until now, the opportunity would have been completely lost.
In fact, whether in the Northwest or on the way from the Northwest, Qi Heng had many opportunities to attack Yuwen Kun, but he did not.
Sishui City is a harsh and cold place, easy to defend and difficult to attack. To attack Sishui City would require a lot of manpower and resources.
If Yuwen Kun were to meet with misfortune, the city lords of the other barbarian cities would immediately gather together and launch an attack on the northern part of the Great Qi.
Keeping Yuwen Kun around will be very useful.
Yuwen Kun may not know that he had long been a tool planted by Qi Heng in Sishui City.
“Cousin, Yuwen Kun has always coveted you, he won’t…”
Xu Da stared wide-eyed, realizing the logic was flawed. If Yuwen Kun knew he had been deceived, why did he let him go so easily?
Could it be that Yuwen Kun, knowing he was in the fishing village, feared him and dared not confront him directly, so...
"Cousin, you're overthinking it."
Lin Yuesha mercilessly attacked Xu Da, so ordinary yet so confident.
Yuwen Kun's departure from the fishing village still depended on her intelligence.
"You mean, he thought you were an imposter too?"
Xu Da rubbed his temples, and after a long while he finally understood. He had never known that Yuwen Kun was such a simpleton, so easily fooled.
“He’s not easy to fool because I’m telling the truth, but he trusts his own judgment more.”
In short, Lin Yuesha has temporarily escaped danger by diverting the trouble, but Yuwen Kun is still determined to find a real "Lin Yuesha".
Since that's the case, we'll give Yuwen Kun what he thinks is right, and that should keep things quiet for a while.
Xu Da was completely confused by Lin Yuesha, but he still felt that Yuwen Kun wasn't a fool.
Upon receiving the news, Qi Heng rushed back from the garrison headquarters and took Yun Duo's mask.
"Husband, you've already figured out my tricks?"
When talking to a smart person, there's no need for excessive explanations. Qi Heng was fully aware that Lin Yuesha was setting a trap for Yuwen Kun.
"right."
Qi Heng had already found a suitable candidate. One of his subordinates was similar in stature to Lin Yuesha and had excellent cooking skills. He would wear a cloud mask and wait for Yuwen Kun to take the bait.
"But you'll still be exposed after you take off the mask."
Lin Yuesha hesitated, but it seemed that she could only try to trick Yuwen Kun again.
"It's alright, we won't be in the North for too long."
The barbarian chaos has only temporarily relieved Sishui City from the crisis. After the New Year, they will cause Yuwen Kun some trouble, ensuring he won't have time to dwell on this matter anymore.
After Qi Heng had made all the arrangements, Yuwen Kun also managed to find out about the small courtyard that Qi Heng had purchased in Yingcheng through the information.
Upon entering the courtyard, men in black flew out from all directions, attacking ruthlessly and without regard for their own lives.
Sure enough, this was Lin Yuesha's hiding place. Although the fishing village appeared to have a guard team, it was actually poorly managed and couldn't stop him at all.
"Moonlight Veil, I have been searching for you for so long!"
The moment Yuwen Kun saw the doctor's wife, he rediscovered the long-lost feeling of excitement in his heart. He tried to keep his words gentle and said, "Come back to Sishui City with me."
"I am not Lin Yuesha, you have the wrong person!"
As previously agreed, Qi Heng's men were terrified and tried to run away, but Yuwen Kun strode forward and pulled them firmly into his arms.
This was no place to linger. After rescuing his beloved, Yuwen Kun immediately led his men away.
He sent his men, who were hiding in Yingcheng, to gather information. Upon learning that Qi Heng had found the courtyard in a fit of rage, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
In short, Qi Heng's performance once again fooled Yuwen Kun, who, embracing the imposter, completely believed him.
With the crisis over, Lin Yuesha felt more at ease, though she was also a little scared.
After the Lantern Festival, Qi Heng returned to the army camp, while she stayed in the fishing village, the couple separated by distance.
"Once the road is repaired, we'll return to the capital."
Currently, there are still remnants of the Wei family's faction in the capital, so it is not the best time to return.
The couple thought they could set off at the latest in the spring, but they ended up waiting for almost two years. In the end, it was because Yuwen Kun was too incompetent.
Qi Heng originally planned to use Yuwen Kun, but unexpectedly, after taking Yun Duo away, Yun Duo, as Yuwen Kun's beloved, was poisoned several times.
Enraged by this, Yuwen Kun investigated and discovered that it was the other city lords of the barbarian tribe who had sent people to do it. He personally led his troops to attack the enemy's stronghold.
The entire city of Sishui was mobilized for war, making it far stronger than other cities. Enraged, Yuwen Kun seized the city.
Yuwen Kun went on a rampage, waging wars everywhere and taking over the remaining cities, becoming the leader of the barbarian tribe.
A crisis could occur in the North at any time. Qi Heng was stationed there to guard the North. During this time, taking advantage of the chaos in Sishui City, he kept sending people to blast mountains and build roads. A straight official road has been built from the North to the capital, which has greatly shortened the travel time.
...
Two years later, in Yingcheng, in the north.
As Yuwen Kun continued to expand, he suffered heavy losses. He hid in Sishui City and refused to come out.
Having resolved the internal threats within the Great Qi, Qi Heng was now just waiting for the first large ship to be launched before he and Lin Yuesha set off for the capital.
What must be faced must be faced. The situation in the capital has already changed. Prince Luo and Xu Da and others returned to the capital ahead of time to do hard labor for Qi Heng. Letters were delivered every few days.
The Prince of Luo wanted to travel and enjoy the scenery, while Xu Da volunteered to guard the northwest. Both of them were already driven crazy by their daily official duties and couldn't wait to find a place to lie down.
"Young Madam, your letter."
Qingxing and Qi'er had already come to the North from the Northwest, along with Bai Cha and Longjing tea. The four of them served Lin Yuesha in front of her.
"It's my cousin's again?"
Lin Yuesha waved her hand and said, "I won't look."
Without even reading it, Xu Da, complaining in his letter, emphasized that he slept later than a dog and got up earlier than a rooster, already being exploited by Qi Heng. Who would have thought that the cunning Prince Luo would use brotherhood to exploit him a second time from time to time.
Xu Da was a man of great loyalty and affection, so he could only swallow his anger and suffer in silence. He was exhausted.
"He can't outsmart his uncle. He's at the bottom of the food chain, so he's bound to be exploited."
Lin Yuesha laughed and said that complaining to her was useless and would not solve the problem. It would be better to train a few capable subordinates instead of relying on herself to work hard.
Just after the New Year, Lu the carpenter led the other craftsmen in making final adjustments, waiting for spring to arrive before setting off for the open sea.
The launch of the first large ship marked a new milestone, as Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha did not rush to leave the capital but stayed in Yingcheng to await news.
After two years, the fishing village is no longer the small fishing village it used to be. It has more people and is more lively. The canteen has been expanded two or three times.
Lin Yuesha's small workshop in the fishing village supplied some of her goods to the military and some to merchant caravans. With the improved roads, she was able to transport the goods to the south for sale and made a lot of money.
