After the whole family traveled across time and space to escape, my father was forced to ascend the

Just these are not enough for Lin Jinyue.

From now on, no matter whether they are boys or girls in the village, they will have to learn Kung Fu and learn riding and shooting.

When the time comes when bandits or other forces take a fancy to their village, they will have a way to deal with it.

Although there are few people, they are definitely not someone to be bullied.

These people all fled the famine with Lin Jinyue, fighting with refugees and wild beasts along the way.

They are not people who are afraid of trouble.

After Lin Jinyue made arrangements, the wood workshop and the newly built blacksmith workshop began to operate.

It's just that those in the carpentry workshop who are now skilled in craftsmanship are working day and night to make crossbows and arrows, while those in the carpentry workshop with slightly more average skills are making various furniture and houses to help those farmers whose houses were blown away by the tornado.

Ji Zixuan arrived at Yunhe Village in the afternoon of the next day.

Lin Jinyue saw him coming back and asked, "How is the situation over there?"

Ji Zixuan sighed: "It's not good. I...I seem to have gotten into trouble."

Ji Zixuan talked about the situation in Guangcheng.

He couldn't see anyone from the Li family, only the stewards of the Li family.

The steward's nostrils were turned upward. He was about to beat him to death with sticks on the spot to discourage him. He heard that the shopkeeper of Yunheji could be invited to host the birthday banquet, so he was let go.

But before letting him go, he said a harsh word:

"If it doesn't work out, watch your head."

In addition, the manager of the Li family seemed to be coveting Lin Jinyue's good things.

After hearing this, Lin Jinyue's eyes widened: "No, are they so rampant?"

The Ji family is a wealthy family in Shawan County and has some influence in Guangcheng.

And Ji Zixuan is the legitimate son of the Ji family, and a small steward can decide his life or death at will.

Ji Zixuan just smiled bitterly.

Ji Zixuan was still blaming himself and thinking of ways to remedy the situation, but the Li family was far more troubled than he thought.

Lin Jinyue said: "You don't have to blame yourself. There are many good things in our village, and it is indeed easy for others to miss us."

If the Li family is easy to talk to, there won't be any danger this time.

If it's not easy to talk, when their village's business reaches Guangcheng, it will happen sooner or later.

Seeing Lin Jinyue being so calm and calm, Ji Zixuan wasn't so panicked.

He still had the intention to ask: "Do you have any secrets? Why am I not worried at all when I look at you?"

Lin Jinyue smiled: "There must be a way to escape."

Then she asked: "When are we going to Guangcheng?"

Ji Zixuan: "You can go in three days, but the dishes for the birthday banquet must be delivered one day in advance."

Lin Jinyue nodded.

Three days is not a short time.

They already had a lot of crossbows in their hands, and although most of them worked sometimes, they still came in handy.

Carpenter Wang and the others have been working overtime these days to build an optimized version of the crossbow. They were able to make five of them in three days.

Tiejiang Li was not idle either.

All the original wooden arrowheads will be changed to iron arrowheads.

Lin Jinyue has been trying to get black powder for the past two days.

However, she didn't make the black powder, but she made a smoke bomb.

With the cover of smoke bombs, it was convenient for Lin Jinyue to bring her father into the farm. No one would notice anything strange, and she would not be warned by the system.

And after she returned to Yunhe Village, even if the Li family wanted to cause trouble, she did not dare to make a big fuss about it.

After all, it’s not something that can be put on the table.

There were no more than a hundred people coming from the Li family, so Lin Jinyue was sure to guard them.

It’s not that she is a scornful person. In ancient times, the powerful did not regard ordinary people as human beings.

She had to make extra preparations.

Now Ji Zixuan and Yunhe Village are like grasshoppers tied on a rope.

Seeing that he was a little uneasy every day, Lin Jinyue showed him the power of the crossbow.

Ji Zixuan's eyes widened.

He also said: "Can I bring Ji's family to join you?"

Lin Jinyue said with a smile: "There is no need to be so pessimistic. Maybe when the time comes we will show our skills and win the appreciation of the Li family..."

"To say the least, they have to worry about General Gu, right?"

Ji Zixuan shook his head, "Actually..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

Under Lin Jinyue's questioning, she mentioned their Ji family's speculation: "Actually, my grandfather has been thinking of ways, and they all guess that these days of peace will not last long."

Lin Jinyue asked, "Is the situation outside bad?"

Ji Zixuan nodded: "Don't forget that General Gu has led tens of thousands of troops to station in Lingnan. The sky is high in Lingnan and the emperor is far away. The generals under General Gu each have their own interests and are not very harmonious or obedient."

"I don't know what your Majesty is thinking. General Gu is a good soldier and has talents, but the other generals are sworn enemies of the Gu family, and they are holding him back day by day."

When Lin Jinyue heard this, she knew how bad the situation in Lingnan was.

Ji Zixuan continued: "We don't know what will happen in the end, but we always feel that even if Prince Jing doesn't fight, there will be no stability and peace in Lingnan."

What Ji Zixuan didn't say was.

They are fine near Shawan County and Guangcheng.

For example, Yunsong County, where General Ningyuan Xie Hong and others were stationed, was in dire straits.

Xie Hong's 10,000-strong army was supported by wealthy local households.

None of it is voluntary.

But due to Xie Hong's power, he had to pay money.

If it is just to raise the army and ensure the safety of the people in Lingnan, then that is fine and acceptable.

But those people are used to extravagance, and all of them still want delicacies from the mountains and seas.

If General Gu hadn't been in charge of their Shawan County, they would probably be in the same situation as they are now.

Merchants like them are the first to suffer in troubled times.

Ji Zixuan reminded Lin Jinyue in a low voice: "If the situation is really bad, my grandfather has found a small island that can accommodate many people."

"If we can't deal with the Li family this time, let's go there in advance."

Lin Jinyue didn't expect that there were people who had similar ideas to hers.

They have little contact with the outside world, and their analysis of the situation can only rely on guesswork.

But if the Ji family had been prepared long ago, then the situation should be not good.

However, when something big happens, it will probably be some time later, and there will still be enough time for Lin Jinyue to prepare.

There’s no rush yet.

What I am more anxious about right now is the dishes for the Li family birthday banquet.

The dishes this time don’t have to have a good meaning, they just need to be unique and novel.

Lin Jinyue thought for a while, picked up the pen and started drawing.

A must-have for a birthday is cake.

But ordinary cakes were unattractive, so she decided to make a fondant cake and put some exquisite characters on it.

Lin Jinyue was interested in these things and had previously spent tens of thousands of dollars to learn them.

The texture of the clothes, expressions, and character dynamics of the characters created by those masters are all outstanding.

Lin Jinyue couldn't reach that level.

However, there was no fondant cake in ancient times. Just fool around with it and make a 70-80% portrait, and that would be enough.

In addition to these, Lin Jinyue prepared several more dishes.

Lingnan is a remote place and there are not many seasonings.

Lin Jinyue is going to make a stewed dish and spicy rabbit, which are cuisines not found in Lingnan.

She found that Lingnan people didn’t seem to be very good at eating seafood, so she could arrange a seafood dinner.

Other dishes are optional.

As for the wine... there isn't much left.

Lin Jinyue decided to make sparkling wine.
