Chapter 157 The Transmigrated Boy Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 4) Looking at his own…
Looking at her mission target, who seemed to have already paid the ransom and was just waiting for her to release the hostage, Lin You suppressed a laugh and handed the person over to him.
"Silly boy, didn't you notice he was attacking his acupoints? If I had arrived any later, you could have been collecting your idol's corpse!"
Lin You's mission in this world is simple: as long as Mo Kaiyang, this silly boy, has the ability to live happily in this world, the mission is complete.
The plot of this world is also very simple and clear: Mo Kaiyang, a young man who transmigrated here, does good deeds but ends up doing bad things because he doesn't understand the specific situation.
He saw through the ambush in the canyon and saved his idol, General Wan Jun. However, in order to prevent General Wan Jun from going back to his death, he struck his acupoint.
Unfortunately, the naive young man, who had only recently begun learning martial arts, was unaware of the danger and his acupoint technique was too cunning. When General Wan Jun forcibly broke through the acupoints, his meridians ruptured and he died.
The foolish boy realized he had committed a terrible crime. In just two days, the enemy would attack. Without General Wan Jun, who could command the Wan family army to defend against the enemy?
He came up with a simple and direct solution: he took General Wan Jun's mask, put on the replica armor he made himself, rode General Wan Jun's warhorse, and went to meet the enemy in his identity.
As a die-hard fan of General Wan Jun, Mo Kaiyang was quite familiar with the process of this final battle. He even simulated a 3D video of the war by looking at clues in history.
With a solid historical foundation, Mo Kaiyang commanded his soldiers quite skillfully. To avoid being discovered as an imposter, the simple-minded young man bravely charged ahead, fighting for seven days and seven nights until he finally held on to his last breath.
When he could no longer hold on, fearing that the Wan family army would lose morale if they recognized him as not General Wan Jun, he directly pulled the enemy general and jumped into the sea of fire.
What Lin You needs to do now is to stop this general from trying to kill himself and just live a good life. That way, Mo Kaiyang's knot will be untied.
Mo Kaiyang didn't know how to take a pulse, but he did understand the circulation of internal energy. After circulating his internal energy through General Wan Jun's body, he understood what had just happened.
After confirming that Lin You's words were true and that he had almost killed his idol, Mo Kaiyang's attitude completely changed.
"Sister, from now on you are my own sister. If there's anything you need, just ask. If you have any tasks, just give them to me. I will never say no!"
Stopping Mo Kaiyang from massaging her back and shoulders, Lin You gestured with her lip towards the general beside her: "What do you plan to do about this?"
Mo Kaiyang was also very distressed. "General Wan Jun is determined to go back and apologize. This emperor of the court is simply inhuman. If he goes back, he will be committing suicide. Of course, I have to stop him!"
“But you can stop him for a while, can you stop him forever? Besides, his wife, children and elderly parents are all being held hostage by the emperor. If he goes back, the others might still have a way to live. If he doesn’t go back, I’m afraid it won’t be long before they can only go and collect other people’s corpses.”
Lin You did have some knowledge of ancient times, and after combining it with the plot of this world, she guessed where Wan Jun's concerns lay. "Am I right, General Wan Jun?"
General Wan Jun, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Lin You, then at Mo Kaiyang, and finally let out a long sigh.
"General, you have guarded the border for many years. Are you protecting the people of the world or the royal family of the Si family?" Lin You asked directly.
Wan Jun opened his mouth, but finally spoke: "My Wan family has been loyal and virtuous for generations. Since the founding of the country, we have followed the founding emperor to conquer the world. As the heir of the Wan family, I must not only protect the people of the world, but also safeguard the country of the Si Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Mo Kaiyang was so anxious he almost jumped up, but Lin You pressed him back down: "Then, General, do you think the Si Dynasty has any way to survive if the current Emperor continues to cause such trouble?"
After hearing this, Wan Jun lowered his eyes and remained silent. The current emperor was obsessed with beauty and indulged in extravagance. He had harmed not only his Wan family army, but also the loyal ministers and generals of the court. Some were dead, some were demoted, and the rest were just sycophants. How could they possibly support the country?
"General, do you think your personal reputation is more important, or the people of the world and the dynasty's rule?" Lin You's question was a bit strange. Mo Kaiyang was completely confused, but he still scratched his head and listened quietly from the side.
Wan Jun sighed, "Compared to the people of the world and the imperial empire, let alone fame, my life is nothing."
"Wan Jiajun is brave and invincible, capable of taking on a hundred men each. No one in the entire Si Dynasty can stop him. Since you have such ability, why don't you take direct action to resolve this chaos? I believe that after witnessing your abilities, the Emperor will definitely be more diligent in governing and care for the people."
In this way, both the people of the land can be protected, and the dynasty can be stabilized. It may slightly damage the general's reputation, but once it's done, everyone will surely understand the general's good intentions.
What Lin You didn't say, Wan Jun understood as well: if the current emperor continued to act willfully and allow villains to do evil, then they should replace him with another emperor. Among so many people in the royal family, surely there is one who knows what's good for them.
Mo Kaiyang was stunned by Lin You's words, but he quickly came to his senses and clapped his hands to express his absolute agreement!
In any case, the Si family's reign in history didn't last more than two years. It would be even better if the people could live a peaceful life sooner!
Seeing Wan Jun's continued silence, Lin You smiled knowingly: "If you're worried about your wife, children, and elderly parents, then leave it to us. We guarantee to send everyone out of the capital within seven days."
After saying that, she glanced at Mo Kaiyang again, "You don't need to worry about the border. My silly younger brother may be a bit slow, but he is quite skilled in martial arts and has some knowledge of military strategy. While you are dealing with these matters, he will temporarily help you guard the border."
Upon hearing this, Mo Kaiyang immediately patted his chest and assured him, "General Wan Jun, rest assured, I will risk my life to defend Mo City for you!"
Two people who had never met before were saying such things so shamelessly. Wan Jun wanted to ask himself if he looked particularly like a fool.
Seeing his wary gaze, Lin You simply waved her hand, and the originally rugged valley scenery around them transformed into a vast and magnificent sea.
Their position was moved from the pile of rocks to a small boat, which bobbed up and down with the waves, the sea breeze blew past their ears, and the air carried a damp, salty smell.
The two watched as Lin You pulled out a net from somewhere, cast it down, and scooped up half a boatload of fish and crabs.
A crab the size of a palm scurried up to Wan Jun's side. Perhaps seeing him as easy to bully, it brandished its pincers and pinched his hand.
The real touch and pain came from my fingertips, and for a moment I couldn't tell if I was dreaming.
The small boat drifted on the sea for about fifteen minutes. Lin You waved again, and they reappeared in a mountain forest.
Unlike the precipitous and majestic Qingyun Peak, this mountain is lush with vegetation, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and a light drizzle is falling from the sky.
Lin You took out a basket, casually rummaged around under a tree and found a few mushrooms. She then took a couple more steps forward and picked a handful of wood ear fungus from a dead tree.
While directing Mo Kaiyang to dig bamboo shoots, Lin You also picked some tender wild vegetables and dug up some wild garlic and scallions.
She smiled and said to Wan Jun, "General, you've just recovered from a serious illness, so you should nourish yourself properly. There are plenty of delicacies here; will they suit your taste?"
When she waved again, the three of them had returned to the valley where they had started. In front of them were two bamboo baskets, one containing fish, shrimp, crabs, sea cucumbers and abalone, and the other containing mushrooms, wood ear fungus, fresh bamboo shoots and wild vegetables.
Wan Jun looked at the crab still crawling around in the basket, whose leg he had knocked off after it pinched him, and then at the mushroom he had casually picked up, whose root he had accidentally broken. He was amazed by Lin You's abilities.
To instantly transport the two of them thousands of miles away—this must be some kind of supernatural power.
Mo Kaiyang quietly gathered firewood to start a fire and build a barbecue grill. Wan Jun, who had never seen much of the world, couldn't tell, but he had played 3D projection games before. The images Lin You had shown them before always seemed a bit unreal.
Furthermore, the net fishing, mushroom picking, and bamboo shoot digging seemed far too easy. Considering Lin You's identity within the system, it's not hard to guess how much of it was exaggerated.
As for why she was trying to fool General Wan Jun, Mo Kaiyang wasn't really naive. He had figured out some things, and perhaps his General Wan Jun had already been tempted by them.
Lin You didn't actually take them out for a stroll. She originally planned to use the illusion, but unexpectedly, this feature was specially promoted on the homepage of the system store.
This 3D scene simulation game allows you to switch to any scene you want. The system comes with thousands of stock images, and you can also take your own real-time footage.
Compared to the painstaking setup, this is much more convenient and faster.
A 3D game console currently costs 500 points, and Lin You is naturally reluctant to waste that money, but it also has a trial function.
Each official employee system can be tried out for five minutes, costing only 1 point per try.
Of course, each employee could only try it once a month, so Lin You immediately added it to her favorites.
As for the fish, shrimp, and crabs, Lin You bought them from the system shop. The seafood cost one point, and the mountain delicacies also cost one point. Lin You only took out a small portion of them from his spatial storage.
The fishing net and the mushroom basket were gifts given to her by others.
Wan Jun was indeed deeply impressed by Lin You's abilities, and his attitude became much warmer than before. He solemnly stood up and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry to trouble you, heroine, with my family."
After saying that, he looked at Mo Kaiyang and hesitated, "Brother Kaiyang, are you going to disguise yourself as me these next few days?"
Seeing that Mo Kaiyang looked like he was about to nod, Lin You slapped him on the head. "With my silly little brother like this, how could he possibly play the role of a general with such might and domineering presence? Besides, aren't you also taking some Wan Family Army back to the capital?"
At most, Kaiyang could only go and drug the enemy camp, create some chaos, and buy some time.
The silly boy scratched his head and ran off to grill fish, shrimp, and mushrooms. The grill, made of a few sticks and stones, looked rudimentary, but it worked quite well.
Lin You took the grilled fish from Mo Kaiyang. The scales and innards were not removed; he placed the whole fish on the grill and grilled it directly. Before grilling, he rubbed the fish with wild scallions and garlic.
Surprisingly, despite his pampered appearance, Mo Kaiyang's cooking skills were quite good. Even without seasoning, the fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the heat perfectly controlled.
Sea fish naturally has a slightly salty taste and not many bones. Lin You happily devoured a whole palm-sized fish, glancing at the grill every now and then.
Grilled shrimp and mushrooms are also fresh and juicy, with each bite bursting with the natural flavor of the ingredients. If you get tired of them, a bite of grilled bamboo shoots is a truly unique and delightful experience.
Bamboo shoots, still in their husks, are buried in the ashes of a fire and cooked by the residual embers.
As Mo Kaiyang peeled the bamboo shoots, he said regretfully, "These are best dipped in a spicy and sour sauce, and they would be even better with some ketchup."
Wan Jun ate absentmindedly. After they had finished eating and drinking, he left two tokens and took his leave.
Before he left, Mo Kaiyang suddenly asked, "General Wan Jun, how many people are in your family? Do you have any daughters who have married out? Please tell me more so my sister can save people."
This matter does indeed need to be explained clearly. Wan Jun clasped his hands in a salute to Lin You and explained in great detail: "My father died on the battlefield many years ago, but my mother is still alive. You can give her my token. I married a virtuous wife seven years ago, and we have only a five-year-old daughter."
There's also an older sister who married ten years ago and passed away three years ago. The family's old steward was a close confidant of our father. If you happen to encounter him, I hope you can help rescue him…”
Mo Kaiyang listened with a puzzled expression, and only after he finished explaining did he couldn't help but ask, "Does the general have any other brothers or sisters?"
If that's the case, then where did Wan Xuan, who became emperor, come from?
Wan Jun nodded: "My family is small. My father was away fighting all year round. Considering my mother's hard work, he did not take a concubine. My mother did give birth to a little brother for me, but he was weak and died before he was three years old."
