Chapter 250 Should I
Yang Mingshuan retreated, grinning unnaturally as he said, "Brothers, let's talk it out. Using knives and guns will only hurt the relationship."
Seeing this, Suifeng put down his knife, pointed to the bags of food on the ground, and said to them, "Everything is here. Count them. This is the remaining silver."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand and handed 48 taels and 400 coins of silver to Yang Mingshuan.
Upon hearing this, Yang Mingshuan took the silver and said flatteringly, "No need to count it, we trust you, brother."
After the handover, Yang Mingshuan and others took the things and left.
Suifeng and the others also carried the sheep back. With these two sheep, they could ask Aunt Zhou and the others to cook mutton for lunch.
Yang Mingshuan and his group lived a few kilometers away, near the mountain that Huo and his group had passed by, not far from the foot of the mountain.
They have been busy catching sheep these days and have not had time to build a house near Mangshan. In a few days, they will build a house near Mangshan and become neighbors with Huo and others.
On the way back, someone said to Yang Mingshuan, "Brother Yang, I think these people are easy to get along with. Besides, we'll have enough food and drink after we grow crops. Why don't we just not rob the car?"
Maybe these people were unwilling to lend their cars because they were not familiar with them at the beginning. Once they become familiar with them, they will have more opportunities to use cars, so there will be no need for them to commit murder and arson, right?
What's more, in this remote place, it's good for them to have a neighbor, and they can help each other. Since those people can walk out of the desert safely and come here, it means that they have some skills. If they confront others so rashly, will they really not hurt themselves?
After all, they can kill enemies without blinking an eye, but they will think twice before drawing their swords to kill the people of their own country.
After hearing this, Yang Mingshuan glanced at the people following him with a dark face, and asked the others with a sullen face, "Do you all think the same?"
"I think what Xiaobin said makes sense. Since we can support ourselves now, there is no need to go against them, right? If we have more contact with them in the future, they will definitely let us use that car." Another person said.
Some of the others nodded, while others remained silent, as if they were struggling with their thoughts.
Seeing this situation, Yang Mingshuan said directly, "Whoever is unwilling can withdraw, but after we grab the car, don't come and take advantage of it."
After hearing what he said, several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Afterwards, everyone returned to their residences in an eerie silence.
When we got nearby, we suddenly felt that something was wrong. It seemed that there were a lot more people where they lived.
Looking ahead, they saw that there were indeed quite a few people gathered around the straw huts they had casually built. The clothes they wore were all the clothes of their former soldiers.
Seeing familiar clothing, someone shouted, "Could it be the general?"
After hearing this, several people hurried forward.
When I ran to the place, I saw that it was indeed General Nian. He was standing by the shed and talking to a young man.
Seeing this, Yang Mingshuan immediately raised his voice and cried, "General, you are finally here. I was worried that I would never see you again in this life."
Although he looked like he was about to cry, there were not many tears on his face. It was just thunder without rain.
Nian Wude turned around when he heard the voice and saw that it was Yang Mingshuan. He cursed, "Why are you yelling? I haven't settled the score with you yet. Where are the remaining soldiers of mine?"
Yang Mingshuan had been in the army for many years, and by flattering others, he finally got the position of a captain of a thousand men.
When they were separated from the troops, he and another person had the highest official positions. They had just heard that more than 3000 people survived, so Nian Wude asked Yang Mingshuan for them.
In fact, Nian Wude had already learned from others that those people had come back to find him, but the recent waves of events had left him with no outlet for his anger.
He didn't know what happened to the soldiers when he returned. He was feeling irritated and just happened to hear Yang Mingshuan howling like a ghost. He was really in trouble and his anger found an outlet instantly.
When Yang Mingshuan heard this, he cried out, "General, I am innocent. If I hadn't been injured at the time, I would have gone back with them."
He didn't dare to make an excuse and say that those people insisted on going back to find Nian Wude, because that would only annoy Nian Wude. Nian Wude was a rough man, but he was meticulous, responsible and accountable, and he hated to see others shirking responsibility.
That's why he took the responsibility on himself. Although he was pretending to be sick and didn't want to follow those people back to the desert, others didn't know.
He takes the responsibility on himself first, and others think he is loyal.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Nian Wude was not so angry anymore. Everyone knew the situation in the desert. The injuries were minor and one could die if not careful. It was a blessing for these people to survive.
Then he looked at the things that the people behind Yang Mingshuan were carrying and asked, "Did you go to Huo?'s place?"
Huo? Yang Mingshuan didn't know who this person was.
So he asked, "Are you talking about the people on that express train?"
"Yes, that thing is called a tractor, and people drive it." Nian Wude said.
After hearing this, Yang Mingshuan wondered why he chose such an ugly name.
Then he replied: "Yes, I just came back from his place and exchanged some grain seeds. I plan to plant grain in a few days."
"What have they been doing here these days?" Nian Wude asked again.
Yang Mingshuan told him everything he knew, even the well he dug.
Before Nian Wude could say anything, he heard the young man next to him say, "I heard you were planning to lure the wolves down the mountain to steal Huo Yu's car?"
Yang Mingshuan looked at the man in front of him, who exuded nobility from head to toe. Although he looked a little tired from the long journey, he was still dressed elegantly. He couldn't help but look at Nian Wude. He didn't know who this man was and whether he should answer his questions.
"This is His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who is also the current emperor." Nian Wude said directly.
Nian Wude also went to the post station and met Yin Youlin who was going there. He learned that the previous emperor had passed away and Yin Youlin ascended the throne.
The moment he learned the news, Nian Wude suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
If he hadn't met Yin Youlin, he didn't know how long it would take for him to know such big news.
And the famine in Donglin Country, in just a few months, had already reached such a serious level. If he had known this, why would he have stayed in the desert? It would have been better to move to a place with a better environment, so that at least he wouldn't have to eat sand every day.
When Yang Mingshuan heard that it was the emperor who had come and was asking him questions, he immediately knelt down and said tremblingly, "I am blind and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
When the people following behind him heard this, they also knelt down quickly.
This is the first time they have met the current emperor.
Seeing this, Yin Youlin said calmly, "Everyone, get up."
After hearing this, several people lowered their heads and quickly stood up, not even having the courage to look up.
Then Yin Youlin asked the same question again.
Yang Mingshuan didn't understand what Yin Youlin meant, so he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please spare me. I just said it, but I don't dare to do it."
He was afraid that he would be executed along with his entire clan for killing the people of Donglin Kingdom in front of the current emperor.
Yin Youlin gestured, having Yang Mingshuan helped to his feet. He then said pointedly, "Lord Yang, your intention is to eliminate dissidents for our Donglin Kingdom. You should be rewarded."
After hearing this, Yang Mingshuan looked up in surprise, then asked uncertainly, "What does Your Majesty mean?"
"What I mean is, of course, what Yang Aiqing thinks." Yin Youlin said.
"This Huo? He disobeyed the imperial order and even shot civilians. Does Lord Yang think he should be executed?"
"Of course he deserves to be cut into pieces." Yang Mingshuan immediately expressed his loyalty.
"In that case, let's leave this matter to Lord Yang. If you succeed, I will reward you greatly." Yin Youlin said.
When Yang Mingshuan heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."
Then Yin Youlin waved his hand and asked them to leave.
Nian Wude looked at the scene in front of him and scratched his head in frustration. He didn't have much contact with Huo? and didn't know whether this was right or not, but he had to obey the order from above. He could only sigh in his heart and hope that things would not go to the worst.
