Chapter 219: Family Really Matters
The origin of industry on Earth is boiling water.
Yun Ce vaguely felt that the origin of industry here should be special breeding.
Peng Zeng alone is a pharmaceutical factory, although the yield is a bit low, but the efficacy of his medicine is good, especially the rapid growth fluid, which Yun Ce has personally tested to be extremely effective.
Those who have cultivated internal breath, in Yun Ce’s view, are all walking big meatballs of medicine.
Now, a hairless monster that can prosper the leather industry and weapon manufacturing has appeared, plus this blue-faced monster that can secrete lubricating oil all over its body, many materials can appear out of thin air in an instant.
The fat secreted by the blue-faced monster is very important for this trip; if it didn’t secrete oil, just dragging it all the way would be enough to drag it into a pile of minced meat.
But it doesn’t; apart from suffering more on gravel roads, it performs very smoothly on grass, and in water, it seems to be enjoying itself.
Later, Yun Ce discovered this point and deliberately chose gravel roads to travel on.
At the beginning, because the fat secretion was abundant, the friction wasn’t too great; after the red date horse sped up, its fat secretion speed couldn’t keep up with the consumption, and its skin and flesh quickly began to contract, turn black, and become as hard as iron.
Friction is very threatening even to steel muscles and iron bones; after walking another ten li, it finally cried out in plea: “Young Master, spare my life.”
1 Yun Ce pretended not to hear and continued forward until this guy, who was originally blue-faced, then black-faced, and now almost white-faced, was truly on the verge of death; only then did he finally stop his horse, turn back, and look at it coldly.
1 “I am the Shu Tuo of Heavenly Peak Mountain.”
1 “This name is very famous; should I know it?”
1 “Young Master doesn’t know, but Liu Changsheng does. Fifteen years ago, Liu Changsheng came to Heavenly Peak Mountain, and we met.”
1 Yun Ce couldn’t figure it out; he had just boasted a little, and immediately retribution came—everyone in the world started learning to boast like him.
1 What kind of person is Liu Changsheng? He must have gone to Heavenly Peak Mountain to discuss major matters with the devils’ leader. Yun Ce didn’t think this Shu Tuo was an important figure on Heavenly Peak Mountain.
1 So, he continued riding forward.
1 “Aiya, I really met Liu Changsheng. At that time, when he entered the main hall, I was standing at the bottom of the stone steps outside the main hall. Liu Changsheng must have seen me.
1 I am famously known as the know-it-all on Heavenly Peak Mountain; nothing on the mountain can be hidden from me. As long as Young Master needs it, I can even tell Young Master how many holes there are in Heavenly Peak Mountain King Black Wind’s feet.”
1 Yun Ce didn’t know why he needed to know how many holes Black Wind had on his feet, but from the simple few sentences of dialogue with Shu Tuo, he had a preliminary understanding of this guy: it was either a sly chatterbox or a deep-minded person disguising himself with the appearance of a chatterbox.
2 Yun Ce planned to hand it over to Feng An when he returned; Feng An had been tempered in a short time. Given him a little time, no matter how sly Shu Tuo was, Feng An would surely present him with a Shu Tuo memorandum, and guarantee that every sentence recorded inside was true.
2 No matter what the origins of these devils are, the greatest possibility is that they are the sins created by the Gui Fang people themselves during their random evolution.
2 Just like the Gui Fang people are the sins created by the Han people, now it’s time for them to reap what they have sown.
2 This kind of scene also appeared during the Great Song period: the Liao Kingdom pressed the Northern Song, the Jin Kingdom pressed the Liao Kingdom, and in the end, everyone was wiped out by the Mongols.
2 Now, Yun Ce really wanted to know who would be the Mongols of the Great Han World.
2 Returning to Jingkou Pass, even Zhang Min, who was used to seeing Yun Ce in various appearances, was shocked speechless by this unparalleled handsome noble son.
2 When there was no one else around, she pulled Yun Ce and looked him up and down several times, finally even touching, pulling open the pants to check the rouge mole on the left buttock cheek, then breathed a sigh of relief and said: “Stay at Jingkou Pass tonight; you’re not allowed to go back.”
2 Yun Ce nodded; in this world, handsome men are actually rarer than beautiful women. Men like enjoying beautiful women, but they don’t know that women like enjoying handsome men even more.
2 He had enjoyed Zhang Min’s beauty many times before; now being enjoyed by Zhang Min for his handsomeness was only right between husband and wife.
2 Zhang Min called herself a concubine, but it was just a title, and this title was only effective between her and E Ji.
3 However, at night, when Zhang Min pounced over like a fierce wolf, Yun Ce felt a slight regret; for the entire night, he didn’t even see Zhang Min’s glowing buttocks.
3 “Dress like this from now on; it’s too likable.”
3 Zhang Min, who had been busy all night, was still refreshed; she picked up Yun Ce’s head and kissed his face fiercely a few times, smugly saying: “I didn’t expect my young master to be so good-looking.”
3 After saying that, she kicked Yun Ce with her foot: “The child born in the future will definitely be good-looking too.”
3 Looking at Zhang Min’s flat belly, Yun Ce obediently pressed his ear against it; there was no sound of child activity inside, only the ‘gurgle’ sound of the stomach from hunger.
3 “Didn’t eat dinner?”
3 “No time; too busy bathing.”
3 “Want to eat something now?”
3 “No. Hurry up and come to me; don’t think you can fool me with cooking. Even if I starve to death today, I won’t eat.”
3 What could make food-loving Zhang Min forget to eat? The answer is only one: a peerless handsome man.
4 Pretty good; using himself as a gift to reward his wife was a great opportunity to enhance marital feelings—beneficial without cost, only advantages, no disadvantages.
4 After getting up in the morning, Yun Ce planned to hold a meeting about expanding and renovating Jingkou Pass. When he arrived at the meeting hall, he found that the usually bustling hall only had He Qingfang holding the fort.
4 “Your concubine led the team to the underground base at Jin Suo Pass. Before leaving, seeing you sleeping soundly, she asked me to tell you that next time you come to Jingkou Pass, you still need to dress like this.”
4 Knowing that He Qingfang was now Zhang Min’s close friend, but could they really discuss such private topics?
4 “Where did Qin Shu go? Didn’t we agree to discuss the expansion of Jingkou Pass today?”
4 He Qingfang pointed to the drawings on the wall and said: “It has already started ten days ago. It must be said that after the Fire Tribe people came, many of our construction matters have progressed very smoothly.
4 Feng An said that if the general wants to wipe out the Fire Tribe in one fell swoop, the general needs to personally go to Danwang Mountain.”
4 Yun Ce thought for a moment and said: “Is this Huo Liao’s request?”
4 He Qingfang shook her head and said: “This is the hope of all of us. We currently have only four territories in total. Xiangcheng goes without saying; it doesn’t need large-scale rectification at the moment. The general’s prestige left in Xiangcheng is enough to keep it as steady as Mount Tai for now.
4 The engineering progress in the other three places is seriously lagging, mainly due to a lack of technical personnel. If the Fire Tribe could fully submit, there would be no such troubles.”
5 Yun Ce thought about it and said to He Qingfang: “I once discussed the construction of Yun Clan Villa and Jingkou Pass with Cao Kun. Do you know how long Cao Kun thinks we need to properly manage these two places inside and outside the pass?
5 Cao Kun said thirty years.”
5 He Qingfang frowned and said: “Is this Cao Kun’s warning to us?”
5 Yun Ce nodded and said: “That’s right.”
5 He Qingfang said with a gloomy face: “The Gui Fang people are already restless; we don’t have thirty years to waste.”
5 Yun Ce smiled and said: “So, the focus of construction is on Jin Suo Pass and Jingkou Pass; Yun Clan Villa can lag a bit without issue.”
5 He Qingfang said: “The Yi Tree Grove that hinders cavalry attacks and the river network excavation cannot be omitted.”
5 Yun Ce nodded and said: “These are all grindstone efforts; no results can be seen in a short time. They can proceed simultaneously, as long as Yun Clan Villa doesn’t undergo large-scale expansion.
5 After all, in the hearts of people like Cao Kun, without city walls, there is no city defense, and it doesn’t count as one’s own territory.”
5 He Qingfang sighed and said: “We still need to wait, wait for those children who are still studying and practicing martial arts to grow up quickly; otherwise, we will forever only be able to passively defend and unable to turn defense into offense.”
6 Yun Ce smiled and said: “Just endure it.”
6 There are no issues at Jingkou Pass; whether Zhang Min, Qin Shu, or He Qingfang, they are all pretty good talents. With them here, it will surely be safe and sound.
6 Zhang Min always runs to the underground palace at Jin Suo Pass, mainly to recruit people for her future intelligence work. Since she can’t use outsiders, she can only select from the half-grown children and personally train them, keeping her extremely busy every day. Only last night did she truly indulge once.
6 Returning to Yun Clan Villa, E Ji, who had brought the women back from the farmland, upon seeing Yun Ce, surprisingly acted reserved and very shy.
6 Before, she always pounced on Yun Ce regardless, most liking when Yun Ce carried her and spun in place, best if Yun Ce patted her buttocks a few times and pretended to be angry before she would get down from him.
6 This time was different; upon returning and seeing Yun Ce holding a scroll in one hand and a small tea cup in the other drinking roasted wheat tea, this girl actually rubbed her hands and circled around him several times, not daring to come close.
6 Yun Ce felt smug inside, pretended to be annoyed, placed the tea cup in his hand on the small table, and said: “It’s only been a few days, and you don’t recognize me anymore?”
6 E Ji cheered and skillfully jumped into Yun Ce’s arms, rubbing his face hard and saying: “Isn’t it just killing three thousand people in Xiangcheng? Why dress yourself up in this harmless appearance?
6 My husband is a towering hero standing tall between heaven and earth, not a soft egg who relies on his face to eat. This concubine has always been hoping for husband to return with the murderous aura from killing three thousand people.
6 How did he become a soft egg who rolls in rouge piles?”
7 Hearing E Ji say this, Yun Ce couldn’t help but smile bitterly; after all, it was E Ji. Only she could accurately grasp why he made such a big show of dressing like this.
7 As E Ji said, he was really worried that after killing three thousand on the battlefield, from then on, his family life would completely change due to fear into another form.
7 That would be too much of a failure in life.
