Chapter 236: Yun Ce Isn’t The Only One Worried About The Great Han
Yun Ce decided to help the children with Qi Induction, so he could sleep alone in the Training Room. After all, Doggy was the one doing the real work, what did it have to do with him.
He could sleep facing left freely, facing right, or even on his stomach if he wanted.
Great Han women are very humble toward their husbands when not pregnant. Yun Ce had once enjoyed the all-around gentleness of E Ji and Zhang Min. Even when Yun Ce was in a bad mood sometimes, they had no complaints and instead served him even more thoughtfully.
Ever since having children, Zhang Min’s attitude went without saying, but even the usually gentle E Ji made many more demands of Yun Ce, one of which was that every night she must sleep with her head pillowed on his left arm.
After Zhang Min learned of this, Yun Ce’s right arm became her pillow.
As everyone knows, sleeping is a time of extreme relaxation. Constantly adjusting sleeping positions and seeking comfortable postures in dreams is an inborn Instinct.
Now, it was no longer possible. One on the left, one on the right, both arms fully occupied, so he could only sleep flat on his back, and like a dead man, completely motionless on his back.
Yun Ce valued sleeping in a posture like a pine tree when lying down, but now in a spread-eagle position, it was not a good sleeping posture.
Originally, with Doggy’s efficiency, inducing Qi for five children in one night was no problem at all. Now, under Yun Ce’s coercion and inducements, at most two children per night, and no more.
Doing it this way was actually beneficial for the children too. The idle Doggy could circulate their Internal Breath a few more times inside their bodies, making it smoother for them to cultivate on their own later.
1 Yun Ce had slept the most comfortably in these days last night. He slept with the Blanket clamped between his legs, and when he woke up in the morning, he found the World was new.
1 A boy and a girl sat cross-legged on the Cushion, facing the sunrise, practicing Breathing, feeling the sensation of Internal Breath flowing through their bodies. The way the sunlight shone on them was beautiful, seeming to carry a sense of newborn life, much like butterflies emerging from cocoons at dawn, just short of flapping their wings.
1 Very often, happiness comes from very small Events, not from those grand Narratives, so Yun Ce named these two children—Yang Guang and Hu Die.
1 Lei Ming, who had grown a bit taller, walked in from outside the Courtyard. After Yang Guang and Hu Die finished their final cycle of Internal Breath, he took their hands and left.
1 The place they were going was the Courtyard where Zhang Min was. In that Courtyard, four more children were waiting for them. There, they would follow Zhang Min to learn Martial Art, learning how to use their own Internal Breath to make themselves stronger.
1 “Children like this should join the Army,” E Ji said, somewhat dissatisfied.
1 “Jingkou Pass’s Army is just a temporarily existing force. Once the children grow up, that Army will disband and leave. After all, their roots are neither in Yun Clan Villa nor North of the Great Wall. Once their enthusiasm to serve their country is exhausted, they will leave on their own.”
1 “We can offer more money,” E Ji said anxiously.
1 Yun Ce shook his head and said, “Our money isn’t as much as others’.”
1 E Ji sighed, leaned against Yun Ce, and said, “We really are so poor—how about Husband goes to Luoyang for a heist? There are plenty of rich people there.”
2 “I want to too, but I can’t leave right now.”
2 “Because I’m pregnant?”
2 “Exactly, because you two are pregnant.”
2 E Ji clenched her fist and pounded Yun Ce’s Chest once, saying, “In the future, only say me, don’t mention that Bitch.”
2 Robbing the rich to divide the land was a standard method of his ancestors, so Yun Ce naturally had no psychological barrier to robbing the rich to aid himself, this poor man, especially since he had a grand goal to achieve.
2 The current peace had not come easily. How to extend this peace a bit longer was what Yun Ce considered the most important matter.
2 Once Iron Enclosure Pass falls, the Great Wall Defense Line will directly face the Gui Fang people, and the intricate Great Wall Defense Line will inevitably fail to stop the Gui Fang people.
2 It is inevitable that the Gui Fang people will cross the Great Wall and enter the two hundred core Military Prefectures of the Great Han. Yun Ce hoped that when the Gui Fang people break through the Great Wall Defense Line, they would not choose the Jingkou Pass side. That way, after the Gui Fang people break through the Great Wall Defense Line, he could continue to survive North of the Great Wall for a few more years. Once his Strength grew strong, he could continue to build his power in the Gui Fang people’s occupied territories.
2 Yun Ce had not shared this petty scheme with anyone, but he knew such a situation would come soon.
2 “Your ancestors actively went north to resist the enemy back then…” Doggy said wistfully.
3 “I know, so we skipped a lot of Sacrifices from the start by choosing North of the Great Wall. That’s the convenience of strategic foresight.”
3 “True, infighting among kin is the most Terrifying. Wielding the blade against Gui Fang people behind enemy lines is a way for all Great Han people to acknowledge you.”
3 The Ming Dynasty’s legitimacy in gaining the throne is unparalleled in ancient and modern times.
3 Scum like Cao Kun may revel for a moment, but they will ultimately be swallowed by the tides of History, not even leaving a speck of Dregs.
3 “So, we’re in no hurry. We take it slow, step by step, solidly. As for the final outcome, only Heaven knows.”
3 “Your arrival here was an Accident to begin with. Actually, I think if you had been thrown into Faster-than-light travel beforehand, your impact might have been greater.”
3 Think about it: in the silent, pitch-black Space, you’re frozen into a block of frozen meat, while I’m still in your stomach, repeatedly sending ‘beep beep beep’ signals into Space. Imagine how beautiful, heroic, and aesthetically pleasing that scene would be.
3 Yun Ce also thought such a scene was beautiful. It was originally the best outcome envisioned by Yun Linchuan and the others. The dragon chose that point to begin Faster-than-light travel, and that point must have its unique characteristics. As long as the scientists pursue research with a spirit like Huo Liao’s, they will definitely find a way to surpass the Speed of Light.
3 Yun Ce never imagined that one day Wu Tong would come to Yun Clan Villa. He rode an Albatross there, and as soon as he landed, he pulled Yun Ce back onto the Albatross. On the low-flying Albatross’s back, he inspected Yun Ce’s achievements over the past half year here.
3 “Three hundred thousand mu is the current limit.”
4 After dismounting from the Albatross’s back, Yun Ce said to Wu Tong.
4 Wu Tong was clearly very hungry. He ate three full bowls of the famous Saizi Noodles of the Yun Clan in one go, stopping only after burping contentedly.
4 “Zhang Min is pregnant?” Wu Tong ignored Yun Ce’s words and asked about Zhang Min.
4 “For a woman like her to meet a man like me, it’s hard for her not to get pregnant.”
4 “That’s good.” Wu Tong took out a Handkerchief to wipe his mouth and said casually.
4 “A man in his thirties with white hairs appearing at his temples—what have you been through in Chang’an?”
4 “I saw you dug a lot of canals in the Wasteland and planted a lot of Yi Trees. Are you building a military defense line?”
4 “You figured it out?”
4 “I did. I also want to know why you haven’t started building a City.”
4 “No money, no people, and others won’t allow me to build a City.”
5 “Miss Hong, the master of Chuyun Prefecture, suddenly has a very powerful Weapon in her hands. Do you know about it?”
5 Yun Ce looked into Wu Tong’s Eyes and said, “Am I supposed to know or not supposed to know?”
5 Wu Tong nodded and said, “This one you can know.”
5 Yun Ce took a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Wu Tong, and also had Zhang Min fetch an ordinary Bomb and give it to Wu Tong together.
5 “How do you use it?” Wu Tong weighed the Bomb in his hand and asked.
5 “Light the Fuse, then Throw out.”
5 “How many craftsmen here are skilled at making this thing?”
5 “If you want mediocre craftsmen, I have over a hundred. But for making this precision Bomb, currently only me.”
5 Wu Tong frowned and said, “Does making this thing have a threshold?”
5 Yun Ce nodded and said, “A hair’s breadth off in reasoning leads to miles of error.”
6 Wu Tong nodded and said, “No problem. Chang’an has many precision craftsmen; we’ll figure it out. Recently, someone at Panxing Tower has been inquiring about your past. Around the High Priest, there’s a Gui Fang woman named Shen Lexi also inquiring about Liu Chang’an’s whereabouts.”
6 “What, did you show your tail?”
6 Yun Ce shook his head and said, “No, I was just harmed by a Villain and unintentionally discovered the Devil the High Priest needed, then met Shen Lexi, and had no further contact after that.”
6 Wu Tong said, “Shen Lexi is nothing. Have you heard of her brother Shen Tingyu? He’s the most mysterious Priest among the Gui Fang people. Legends say he can go to the East Sea in the morning and Cangwu by evening.”
6 “You can Harm Shen Lexi, but if you encounter Shen Tingyu, be extremely careful.”
6 “Shen Tingyu won’t have the ability to go to the East Sea in the morning and Cangwu by evening anymore. They were originally three brothers from the same mother. I killed two of them. From now on, Shen Tingyu is just Shen Tingyu; you won’t see a second Shen Tingyu.”
6 Wu Tong stared at Yun Ce for a long time, then let out a long breath and said, “Really?”
6 Yun Ce smiled and said, “Really.”
6 “Shen Tingyu didn’t Pursuit and Kill you?”
6 Yun Ce spread his palms and said, “He was pursuing and killing Liu Changsheng’s Junior Clan Member Liu Chang’an. What does it have to do with me, Yun Ce?”
7 Wu Tong laughed heartily: “Indeed. The one he wants to kill is the Imperial Descendant Liu Chang’an of the Chang’an Imperial Family, which has nothing to do with you, Yun Ce. Rest assured, after I return to Chang’an, the Liu Imperial Family’s records will definitely include an Imperial Descendant named Liu Chang’an who likes to travel everywhere.”
7 Yun Ce nodded and said, “When the time comes, remember to give me a copy of the Golden Register, or else I’m almost unable to stand being despised by small fries like Cao Kun.”
7 Wu Tong frowned and said, “The Imperial Family Golden Register isn’t as important as you think.”
7 Yun Ce smiled and said, “Better to have it and not need it.”
7 Wu Tong sighed and said, “Iron Enclosure Pass is almost exhausted. Don’t look down on it; it’s just too old. Now it’s waiting for its final battle. It has fulfilled its duty. Yun Ce, if the Great Han wants to continue in the future, it will depend on us.”
7 The tropical cyclone came again. The high-rise building howls like ghosts and wolves in the wind. Switched to a lower floor, and the noise is indeed much less. One more chapter.
