Lin Shucheng was speechless for a moment before he finally said, "Look at our village, does anyone want to serve in the army? Every time, the whole family cries and hugs each other before they leave, fearing they might never come back. Don't think that going to the Red Turban Army is different; it's easier there, and people are even willing to give you a position."
What's the point of that position? The Red Turban Army only has a few hundred men in Qingquan Town. They dare not go to Prince Jing's territory, and they are hesitant even in the most remote Lingnan region, fearing encirclement and annihilation. Zhao Tianquan does have some skill in troop deployment, but he's got a screw loose. When he sees talent, instead of trying to win him over, he's thinking about how to kill him and observe his character... Even rebelling against a dog would be better than following him.”
Lin Jinyue also said, "Brother Gou Dan, don't think about those things."
Lin Shucheng then revealed their plan to kill Lin Xueqing. He had initially thought the Red Turban Army was quite capable, but he had already made it clear that with such a brainless leader, the Red Turban Army was bound to fall into internal strife in the future.
Lin Chen was stunned by what he was told.
Finally, Lin Shucheng added, "Don't think about those unnecessary things. Instead of those empty ideas, let's think about how to make our lives better. As long as we live comfortably, that's enough. If you want so much power, either you become the ones who prey on the people, or you have to worry about how to make all the people in the world live better every day."
Lin Youcai nodded: "That's right. Living a good life is better than anything else. You want to be a general, you want to be a prince? Let me tell you, being a prince is nothing compared to what we have. Can a prince use a telescope? Can a prince have crossbows? Can a prince eat beef every meal?"
Lin Youcai whispered, "Third brother, how about planting another cow?"
Lin Shucheng: ...
He really admired Lin Youcai's thought process.

That evening, back in Yunhe Village, Lin Shucheng and the others couldn't be bothered to care anymore.
Lin Shucheng still had to apologize to his wife.
This trip to Huai'an Town was a spur-of-the-moment decision. He could tell that Jiang Yun had been holding back in order not to make Lin Shucheng look too bad in public.
Once home, where the soundproofing was good, Jiang Yun finally started to explode.
Especially when I think of those arrest warrants.
She was feeling panicked.
Jiang Yun gave Lin Shucheng a severe scolding before she stopped.
Zhao Tianquan didn't wake up until early the next morning.
Zhao Tianquan felt weak all over, had a terrible headache, and his stomach was rumbling loudly.
He muttered to himself, "Drinking shouldn't be this serious... What's going on?"
Zhao Tianquan covered his head and nudged his two trusted confidants who were sleeping like logs. "Get up, get up."
They were all helped, and the room was dark, with only a small skylight letting in light.
It took Zhao Tianquan a long time to realize that Lin Jinyue and her family had actually been lying to him!
Zhao Tianquan was utterly incredulous. Before they started drinking, those hotheads were all pledging their loyalty to the Red Turban Army, and Lin Xueqing was even making crossbows and weapons for them. How could they have all run away after just one drink?!
Now, when Zhao Tianquan mentioned Lin Xueqing, he thought of how Lin could make weapons for the Red Turban Army. Just a few days ago, he had thought that Lin Xueqing was a dangerous element and that he had to find an opportunity to kill him.
Looking at his current predicament, Zhao Tianquan's face turned quite grim.
Could it be that Lin Shucheng found out about their plan to kill Lin Xueqing?!
Zhao Tianquan stood up, his upper body supported, and with difficulty, he kicked the table over. Who is this person?
They even deliberately tricked them.
They have been working hard these past few days without complaint.
Since Zhao Tianquan and his brothers organized the Red Turban Army, it had been many years since they had personally done such rough work.
To prevent their identities from being exposed, Zhao Tianquan brought only his trusted confidants, as it would be difficult to handle if the news leaked out.
Who knew that he was working so hard here, like an old ox, never complaining. These past few days, he has been the one carrying water for more than forty people!
His trusted confidants even took on the work women do, squatting by the river every day washing clothes. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't convenient for men to wash women's clothes, they would probably have had to do even more work.
Especially the Lin Shucheng family, each of them is more fussy than the last, they all take a bath every day, and they don't hold back on water or firewood.
Zhao Tianquan became increasingly angry the more he thought about it!
But after calming down, he suddenly realized that the Lin Shucheng family seemed to be more unfathomable than he had imagined.
Ordinary people, who has the ability to make crossbow bolts and gunpowder?
Lin Shucheng said he was a peasant who had never been to school, and that's what the villagers said too. But Zhao Tianquan had met many people. Although Lin Shucheng was not particular about what he said, he was not like those pedantic scholars who were fussy about such things. As soon as they met, he clearly said that Lin Shucheng had no ambition and only wanted to live a peaceful life with his wife and children.
But Zhao Tianquan just felt that this person was unusual.
His extraordinary presence, both inside and out, and the occasional utterances of his words, reveal his masculine spirit and his deep concern for the world.
Can……
Zhao Tianquan felt both apprehensive and thinking how wonderful it would be if such a capable person could be under his command!
And that little girl, she doesn't seem to know anything, but she's probably the most cunning one in the Lin family.
Zhao Tianquan was furious. Had he not been good enough to these people?!
At this moment, Zhao Tianquan's subordinate, Zhao Laosi, came over and asked, "Boss, this Lin Shucheng doesn't know what's good for him, otherwise we..."
Zhao Laosi's eyes were fierce.
Unfortunately, with his hands being helped, his winking and grimacing looked particularly offensive.
Zhao Tianquan was even more annoyed. He looked at all the idiots under his command. They were no match for Lin Shucheng, and even his daughter, who was not yet ten years old, was better than them.
Zhao Tianquan kicked him impatiently: "Kill, kill, kill! What are you killing for? He alone could wipe out our entire Red Turban Army! Hurry up and find out where they are!"
He was unwilling to give up, unwilling to accept that they, the Red Turban Army, had worked for so long only to have their efforts benefit others.
Just as the group was cursing and swearing inside, Lin Shucheng arrived.
Lin Shucheng immediately had a bucket of cold water thrown in Zhao Tianquan's face: "Let them wake up."
Hearing that he intended to harm Lin Jinyue's family, the person who made the move not only poured cold water on him but also kicked him hard.
Zhao Tianquan woke up groggily and heard Lin Shucheng cursing:
"You want to kill my son? Who do you think you are, deciding the life and death of others at will? This time you're just being punished by doing hard labor. If you dare to have such thoughts again, I'll shoot an arrow straight through your dog heads!"
Zhao Tianquan was taken aback for a moment.
What's going on?
Zhao Tianquan still wanted to curse Lin Shucheng.
Those heartless bastards! They were willing to treat Lin Shucheng as a good brother, but Lin Shucheng wiped them all out in one fell swoop!
Zhao Tianquan thought of his brothers who were still on their way and hadn't arrived yet.
Suddenly, I felt a chill down my back.
Thinking of this, he cursed Lin Shucheng even louder.
Lin Jinyue was standing at the door with Gu Shao at that moment.
Gu Shao frowned when he saw Zhao Tianquan: "You mean, we should take Zhao Tianquan in?"
