Chapter 209 Cleaning
After finishing the meal, Song Chunlin remembered to ask Gu Fengyue what was going on in Baita City.
"Did Lu Jiming supervise me properly?"
Gu Fengyue laughed: "He is very concerned about the things you, his great benefactor, told him to do. In the few days you were away, he and his men not only planted soybeans and watermelons, but also helped you turn over several other plots of land. When you return, you will probably be able to plant directly. By the way, what are you going to plant after turning over so much land? Is it too late to plant now?"
Song Chunlin calculated the time and felt that it was not enough, but he could use the space to promote the growth of seedlings. As long as they were as high as a palm, they could be dug out and transplanted. As for where these seedlings came from...
"Tell me, if I tell them that the rice seedlings were shipped from here, will they believe it?"
Gu Fengyue felt that Song Chunlin seemed to be trapped in a self-proving vicious circle. He pushed him down and asked him to sit down. "Chunlin, you may not know what your status is in their hearts now, but believe me, no matter what you take out, they will not ask a single question, and they will not even think about where you got these things from."
Song Chunlin was puzzled: "Really? He won't have any doubts?"
"No, maybe you are not used to it yet, because you are not their master. In our world, the master has the final say and the servants have no right to ask. Although they are not your slaves, you saved them. The weight of a savior is greater than that of a master, so you can do what you want to do without any worries. If you don't want to explain something, you don't have to explain it."
Song Chunlin seemed to understand a little: "So, I can do whatever I want?"
Gu Fengyue smiled and rubbed his head: "Yes, okay, I want to go downstairs and wash myself up. My body is all bloody and sticky."
Only then did Song Chunlin notice the blood on his body, which was indeed a bit sticky, but Gu Fengyue's face and hands were very clean, as if they had been wiped clean long ago.
Gu Fengyue went downstairs to wash up, and Song Chunlin also wiped his face. Although he did not kill anyone personally, his face felt gray and dusty after running around all night.
"Tsk, I want to take a shower."
"Master master!"
Song Chunlin suddenly heard a child calling him and jumped up from his chair in fright, but when he looked around, he found nothing.
"Who? Dabao?" Song Chunlin asked suspiciously. The next moment, the voice sounded again, and it was very close to him.
"I am the master, you lower your head, no, you should take a look at the table!"
Dabao said the last sentence with such indignation that Song Chunlin choked. He lowered his head to look at the table and saw a little kid, not even as big as his palm, jumping up and down on the table, trying to get his attention.
Song Chunlin: “…”
Stretching out a finger, Dabao climbed up with a grunt, and finally sat on Song Chunlin's palm.
Song Chunlin felt complicated at the moment. No, you were clamoring to come out every day, and now you came out with a mini version?
"Why do you look like a figurine?"
Dabao was speechless: "Master, I came out specially to surprise you, and you think I'm too young???"
"..."
Okay, you offended people the moment you opened your mouth. Song Chunlin grabbed Dabao in his hand, poked his head lightly with his finger, and sighed silently.
"Just look at you, are you small? Your head is not even as big as my thumb."
Dabao knew that Song Chunlin was telling the truth, but the truth was not pleasant to hear, so he had to turn around and leave an opportunity for Song Chunlin.
Seeing that he was angry, Song Chunlin hurriedly comforted him: "You are small and cute. Can I take you with me?"
It seemed to be correct. Dabao was happy again. He turned around and the little guy hugged Song Chunlin's thumb and acted coquettishly.
"Master, I have no clothes to wear."
Song Chunlin was silent again. Although his naked butt did not look good, he did not have the skill of sewing.
The master and servant stopped talking strangely, and were thinking about whether there were any clothes in the space that Dabao could wear. As a result, they really found a package in a corner, which contained several sets of baby clothes. These baby clothes were more cute. Dabao looked at the light green puffy skirt decorated with lace, and his face was full of disgust.
Song Chunlin pinched the small piece of clothing with two fingers and tried it on Dabao: "It seems a little big, but I can't find any smaller ones. You can wear it for now. If you are older, you can wear baby clothes."
It was no use keeping his bottom naked, so Dabao finally put on the clothes with a sour face. Not to mention that the clothes were made quite delicately, they even came with a pair of milky white pumpkin pants.
After putting on his clothes, Dabao was finally no longer naked. Song Chunlin changed into a piece of clothes with a hidden pocket on the chest and put Dabao into it. Dabao's little head popped out from his lapel, but was pushed back by Song Chunlin.
"Don't come out yet! I'll take you to find Gu Fengyue."
Song Chunlin came to the hall in a good mood. Gu Fengyue had already changed his clothes and was sitting in the hall discussing post-war reconstruction with General Dou.
"There are less than 10,000 civilians in the city now, and only 1,000 soldiers, more than half of whom are wounded. I heard that the food has returned from the granary, but we don't know when it will return..." General Dou found this particularly puzzling. When the soldiers under his command came to tell him about this, their expressions were very strange.
Gu Fengyue on the side just smiled but said nothing. Song Chunlin, who had just stepped into the hall, looked guilty. Gu Fengyue had sharp eyes and noticed an inconspicuous bulge on the chest of his clothes, which obviously contained something.
When Song Chunlin saw Gu Fengyue looking at his chest, he subconsciously covered it with his hand. Dabao almost fainted from the slap. Fortunately, Song Chunlin quickly took his hand away, and Dabao was able to breathe fresh air.
Gu Fengyue coughed lightly and said, "No matter how they came back, as long as the food is still there, it's good. The remaining people have been rescued. Those who want to stay can stay, and those who don't want to stay can be given a sum of money and let go."
General Dou nodded repeatedly, then shook his head gently: "After such a disaster, I guess many people will leave here again."
Yuexi originally had a population of only 80,000, and with the garrison there were only more than 90,000. Now only one in ten residents in the city are left, and many houses have collapsed or burned down. Rebuilding them will cost a lot of money. They have no shortage of food for the time being, but building houses requires all kinds of stone and wood, and all these things cost money. General Dou went to check the government storehouse as soon as possible, and it was so empty that horses could run inside.
Because he didn't know when the warehouse was emptied, General Dou naturally assumed that the gold, silver and jewelry had been taken away by the Turks in advance.
It seemed as if Song Chunlin just remembered at this moment that he seemed to have only put the grain back and did not put the gold and silver back, so he immediately gave Gu Fengyue a look for help.
Gu Fengyue understood immediately: "General Dou may have forgotten that there are more than a dozen corpses of Turkic nobles in the backyard. I remember that there is also a Turkic prince among them?"
General Dou slapped his thigh after hearing this and said, "Yeah, how could I forget this! Hehehe, this Turkic noble must be worth a lot of money, right? Especially that prince. How much do you think the Turkic Khan is willing to pay to redeem their prince's body?"
Gu Fengyue didn't say anything, and Song Chunlin silently gave him a thumbs up.
Well done!
Considering that there might still be Turks hiding in the city, Song Chunlin took a rest and followed Gu Fengyue out. Using his mental power, he indeed captured many Turkic soldiers hiding in residential houses.
After capturing who knows how many Turkic soldiers, Song Chunlin clapped his hands. Gu Fengyue handed him a bottle of spiritual spring water at the right time. Song Chunlin gulped down half of the bottle, and his head, which had been aching slightly, felt much clearer.
"Huh, I guess we still can't overdraw our budget."
Gu Fengyue took the bottle of water he had finished drinking and put it away: "Do you want to take a break?"
Song Chunlin shook his head: "No, let's quickly capture all the enemies here and try to retake Wanshan tomorrow."
Gu Fengyue felt a little distressed: "If you are tired, just tell me. We need to take a long-term view on the matter of retaking Wanshan."
Song Chunlin did not refute, but thought to himself, what's the point of long-term planning? There are even fewer Turks in Wanshan. Although the generals there are also nobles, their ranks are not as high as those here. To be precise, they are just small minions. Song Chunlin had already made up his mind, just do as he did in Yuexi, capture the leader first.
As they captured people one by one in Yuexi, by dusk, most of the Turkic soldiers hiding in the city had been captured. Song Chunlin had not slept for several nights in a row and had been radiating his mental power. Even now he felt a little sleepy. Drinking a whole bottle of spiritual spring water could not restore his exhausted mental power.
Gu Fengyue saw it all and felt pain in his heart.
"You can go back and rest. There aren't many left. I will lead the Gu family army to search every house. We will find them eventually."
Gu Fengyue was telling the truth. Now the city gates were guarded by their people and the whole city had been searched by them. The remaining few were just a little cunning. With the strength of Gu Fengyue and the Gu family army, they could definitely deal with them. Song Chunlin was no longer stubborn. He nodded and turned back to the government office. If he didn't go back, he was afraid that he would fall to the ground and fall asleep.
Gu Fengyue asked a few people to escort Song Chunlin back. He stared at his back until he disappeared around the corner of the street. Then he turned around and went to catch him according to the location map that Song Chunlin had just drawn.
Song Chunlin returned to the government office like a ghost. He was not very familiar with this government office. He just found a clean room at random, without even taking off his clothes, and fell asleep directly on the bed.
The person who escorted him back saw that he was sleeping soundly and considerately closed the door for him.
After the surroundings became quiet, Dabao struggled to crawl out from Song Chunlin's chest.
"Oh, I'm suffocating." Dabao sat on Song Chunlin's chest. Song Chunlin seemed to be aware of something and turned over, almost pressing Dabao under him.
Dabao jumped up nimbly and jumped on Song Chunlin a few times in anger. However, because he was too small, these hits did not hurt Song Chunlin at all.
"Hmph, the master is so lazy." Dabao sat down angrily. He was still too young and had to be accompanied by Song Chunlin when going out. Otherwise, with his tiny arms and legs, it would take him a long time to walk.
Song Chunlin was living a peaceful life and had no idea that when he woke up, there would be a huge shock waiting for him.
Gu Fengyue initially tried to capture people according to the map drawn by Song Chunlin, but the Turkic soldiers were not NPCs and would not stay there waiting for him to capture them. When some of them found something was wrong, they immediately moved to another place to hide. Because it was dark, it made the capture more difficult for Gu Fengyue and his team.
The Gu family army that followed Gu Fengyue were used to smooth sailing in the beginning, but after failing several times in a row, they were a little confused.
No, just now when I was working with Young Master Song, I was able to catch every one of them accurately. Why is it that it doesn’t work now that Young Master Song is gone?
Gu Fengyue naturally didn't know that his men treated Song Chunlin as a mascot. He felt extremely annoyed after failing to find him for several times in a row. His heart was pounding, and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.
"Young General, have we been here before?" A soldier from the Gu family reminded Gu Fengyue that it seemed that everyone in this family had died, but the house was still intact and there was no one inside. They had just searched it.
But there was nothing wrong with searching again, so Gu Fengyue walked in. The people behind him looked at each other and followed with torches in hand.
Everyone checked the house inside and out again, even the small warehouse at the back, and found that there was indeed no one there.
Gu Fengyue thought that his intuition was wrong. He always felt that there must be other people hiding in the room, but he just hadn't found them. However, he searched twice and still couldn't find them. Gu Fengyue just thought he was wrong and raised his hand to ask everyone to leave.
And the accident happened at this moment. Gu Fengyue stood in front of a cabinet. The cabinet was open and there was nothing inside. No one could have imagined that there was a mezzanine at the back of the cabinet. This mezzanine was opened when they were about to leave, and inside was a short Turkic soldier who was good at hiding!
The soldier originally thought he had escaped, but Gu Fengyue came back with his men. He had been in the closet for too long and felt depressed. Seeing that the enemy commander was standing not far from him, how could he bear to miss such a good opportunity.
So Gu Fengyue was attacked by him, and the Turkic man's knife slashed directly at his face, aiming to kill him with one blow. Fortunately, Gu Fengyue was very skilled and raised the weapon in his hand to block it, but he did not expect that the other party actually had a hidden weapon. By the time he and the people around him reacted, the hidden weapon had already pierced directly into his body. Gu Fengyue regretted it very much at this moment. Why did he take off his armor for convenience and even did not wear a bulletproof vest. He only had a layer of soft armor on his body. At such a close distance, he could not withstand the hidden weapons at all.
When the Turkic soldier saw that he had succeeded, he laughed wildly towards the sky, and was then hacked to death by the Gu family army that arrived.
