Chapter 719: Place the soldiers and enter the city

When Yun Kangze heard this, he didn't bother to reminisce about the past with Ye Guanyuan, he ordered with the deputy generals around him: "Take them to the military camp immediately and ask the doctor to prepare various plasters. If the ointment in the camp is not enough, go to the old prince and ask him to dispatch it from the city."

"Yes!" The deputy general responded loudly and immediately led a team of people to run towards the soldiers. Yun Kangze stared at him and asked Ye Guanyuan: "Where is my uncle going? Go to the military camp or enter the city? I live in my younger sister's place in Jingbei City, but I also set up a villa outside, but I just don't live there. Now it's good to serve my uncle as a place to stay."

Ye Guanyuan is different from him. He came to Chaozhou just to fight. He stayed on the battlefield or military camp most of his time. He probably didn't go to the city many times. When the war broke out, he had to go back to Chaozhou. Then he would go back to Shuzhou. There was no need to buy industries in Jingbei City.

Ye Guanyuan remembered the instructions of the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and others, pondered and said, "Where will you go faster from here?"

Yun Kangze pointed to the city gate behind and replied naturally: "Of course, it's faster to go to the Liu Mansion or my villa. It's getting late, so Old Prince Chi doesn't know if he is in the military camp or back to Canggu Lane. Anyway, he is uncertain, so I can't say anything, but my brother-in-law must have returned to the mansion at this time. Why don't I take you to the Liu Mansion first? Tonight, you can stay in the Liu Mansion for a night, and then move in after the other courtyard is cleaned up?"

In the middle of Ye Guanyuan's thoughts.

The two of them brought a few personal guards to Jingbei City. The sun was very short in the twelfth lunar month, and it was in a place like Chaozhou. Motian became dark at the time of Shen. The people who came and went to the streets were all wearing fur coats. The poor were wearing straw raincoats, which were protected from wind and snow and kept warm. Beef and mutton could be seen everywhere. Even the vendors sold food with half a lamb leg.

Ye Guanyuan couldn't help but sigh: "This is a paradise for men! Where can the vendors in our place have the financial resources to hang half of the lamb leg outside!"

Yun Kangze shook his eyes and grinned, "My uncle also led troops to fight before. Haven't he been to Jingbei City?"

Ye Guanyuan shook his head and explained seriously: "I have been here, but it was just a dozen years ago or twenty years ago. After I handed over military power from the Ye family, I have never been to the northern border. When I was young, I came here in a remote area. Although everyone grazes, those are used for food exchange. The market is dilapidated, and most of them are nomadic tents, and live cattle and sheep are sold to merchants. The whole market is messy and stinks. Occasionally, you can see troublemakers fighting for a little bit of flies.

After all, it is a place with strong folk customs. Even if the government office wants to manage it, the yamen will not interfere as long as it is not killed. It has become a conventional rule here, and it will be out of order. Therefore, the members of the Liu family will become like that. Fortunately, your brother-in-law is capable, and your sister is also a perfect person. Under the governance of their husband and wife, Jingbei City looks much more normal!"

That's right, it's normal. In Ye Guanyuan's opinion, Jingbei City was a three-no-region area without laws and regulations. Perhaps because it was closest to the border, it became increasingly chaotic. The people did not look like the people, the officials did not look like the officials, and the soldiers did not look like soldiers. How good it looks now! I feel at ease when I walk on the street.

As they spoke, they arrived outside the Liu Mansion. Although Gu Chen was already the Duke of Zhenguo, the Liu Mansion in Jingbei City still had a plaque of Liu Mansion instead of Zhenguo Mansion.

Lei Zi received the news in advance and was waiting at the door of the mansion. When he saw the visitor, he immediately saluted and greeted him, and ordered his servants to unload Ye Guanyuan's luggage.

The group entered Liu Mansion, and Ye Guanyuan was surprised again. The Liu Mansion was really big, so big that it was beyond his imagination, and it was really warm. Especially the earth dragon, which aroused Ye Guanyuan's great interest. He even put his palms on the floor and felt the hot temperature, and his eyes shining brightly. "Brother-in-law, what is this? Even the floor is hot? How can I do it?"

He only knew that there was a kang in the north, and the kind that was burned warmly was found in poor women's homes. However, when he came to Chaozhou before, there were not popular yet, and only a few people had their homes. In addition, there were many nomads in Chaozhou, so this kind of thing was not easy to use here, so it was even more rare. Seeing this earth dragon today really shocked Ye Guanyuan.

Yun Kangze grabbed the back of his head with a confused look on his face. Although he is much more careful and calmer than before, it depends on the situation. He has never cared about such things. He just arrived before and asked curiously how to explain it to Ye Guanyuan?

Lei Zi led his servants to bring ginger tea hot soup. Seeing Ye Guanyuan's irregular movements, he laughed and explained: "General Ye, this is a ground dragon. There was no one in Chaozhou before. It was only because the wife of the Construction Academy ordered people to make it. Later, when the nobles of Chaozhou looked at it, they thought this thing was useful and spread. Now the wealthy families in Chaozhou have installed ground dragons, and the poor families have also built kangs, so they can have a warm winter at least."

"It's indeed a good thing!" Ye Guanyuan praised affirmatively. When he entered the room, he realized that his body was so hot. Under the maid's service, he took off two outer shirts before he recovered. After drinking a cup of ginger tea hot soup, he felt completely relieved.

In just a short while, Yun Yue came back from outside. Before the sound of the person arrived, she could vaguely hear what she was saying with the servant, and the sound stopped when it reached the door.

She stepped into the main hall, exchanged greetings and politeness with Ye Guanyuan before she sat down.

Yun Kangze looked at Yun Yue suspiciously, "Little sister, I thought you were at home at this time, so it was really rare. You actually came back from outside!"

Yun Yue rolled her eyes angrily, "Do you think I am a lonely man like you? Your nephew and nieces are still in the academy, so I have to take a look at it all at once?"

Yun Kangze choked and glanced at Ye Guanyuan beside him with guilt. Ye Guanyuan remembered what Ye Hongying said before, frowned and said to Yun Kangze very seriously: "I went to see Hongying before I came out. She asked me to send you a sentence 'If Xun'er can't see his figure when she got married, then he should not step into the house in the future'! I have brought this now, and you will decide when you go back."

Yun Kangze was so anxious that he was sweating. He patted his head crazy and showed a uglier smile than crying, "Brother, did Hongying say when Xun'er will get married?"
