Yang Lin back"Also, get all of his women!Zhao Guang clenched his fists tightly.Remembering that stunning face, Zhao Guang subconsciously swallowed. His mind was already racing with how to get that bea...What

Purple Clothes is back!

Yang Lin was greatly surprised.

She said she would be back within six days, but now that it's barely been a day since she left, even counting the travel time, she could only make one trip to Jianghe County at most.

"Alright everyone, that's all for today's discussion. I'll meet with you again tomorrow regarding the Foundry and Design Workshop."

"Big sister, let's go home!"

Yang Lin got up and, with his elder sister and little ninth, immediately rushed home.

Upon returning home, he saw Li Yuyao waiting inside with Ziyi by her side.

"What's going on" Yang Lin asked hurriedly.

It is not unexpected that Ziyi should not return prematurely.

"The matter of the Southern rebellion has been investigated," Li Yuyao spoke.

"What"

Yang Lin was surprised again.

She couldn't have possibly arrived in Suizhou in half a day, let alone investigated it thoroughly.

Ignoring Yang Lin's astonishment, Li Yuyao continued, "It was Yong'an King Zhao Ze who rebelled. He raised his flag within Yong'an County in Suizhou, claiming the rightful throne and crowning himself emperor. He commands an army of 10,000 men, boasting it to be a hundred thousand strong."

But Zhao Ze didn't know that his side had long been infiltrated by the Intelligence Bureau. Therefore, on the third day of his rebellion, before he could even send troops to attack the surrounding counties, Yong'an City was surrounded and cut off by the troops調 from all sides!

"Now, the troops surrounding Yong'an City total three routes. They are separately the Julu Army stationed in Julu County, and the remaining two are from Ji Province and our Jiang Province. There are a total of 50,000 troops."

"Yong'an City is a heavily fortified town with high walls and numerous soldiers, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if 50,000 troops attacked the city, it would still be very challenging to take it down. And even if they were successful, the cost would be enormous."

"With other royal families watching closely, this battle could not be lost. Even a hard-won victory would leave them vulnerable to attacks from the others. This battle was crucial; they needed to win decisively without suffering too many losses, which is why they conscripted civilians!"

Speaking of this, Li Yuxiang was already clenching her fists.

Yang Lin was also startled.

Without asking about the source of this information, Yang Lin hurriedly asked, "So, are the conscripted laborers used to attack the city"

Li Yuyao nodded. "According to Ziyi's information, the three armies are now besieging Yong'an City. They only surround but don't attack, just waiting to requisition conscripts!"

They conscripted 10,000 laborers from Jiangzhou, Suizhou, and Jizhou, totaling 30,000! These 30,000 laborers are very likely to be sent to the front lines to be used as cannon fodder for sieges!

Speaking of this, Li Yuhua was also unable to continue. She gently closed her eyes and sighed with grief.

From a young age, her father taught her the principle of "a ruler shouldn't be merciful." She understood that those who command armies can't afford to be compassionate and certainly not act with feminine tenderness.

But ever since she left the palace and came to the common folk, meeting these ordinary yet ordinary people, she felt more and more that every person is a vibrant life!

Perhaps the saddest thing of all for these people is that they have become accustomed to death. Their lives are like grass, easily trampled and forgotten.

But this is how it was. These unarmed and innocent civilians were driven to attack the city walls, used up as mere cannon fodder. They didn't even know what was happening; they could only carry ladders and withstand the enemy's arrows, charging forward until one batch after another fell…

War may not be frightening, but dying without meaning is the most tragic thing.

"Your Majesty... Miss, this matter is not too urgent. It's better to tell the young master about something else first." Ziyi reminded hurriedly.

"Anything else"

Yang Lin frowned slightly.

Speaking of this other thing, Li Y Yao sighed helplessly and said: "You've been targeted again!"

"Hmm" Yang Lin immediately thought of something. "Are you talking about the formula for the water used to make tofu"

Li Yuyao nodded. "This news about the Purple Clothes came by chance, and now tofu has spread throughout the entire county. More and more people are realizing that in the tofu business, the most profitable thing is medicine!"

"And this time, the one who's after you is Pingyuan County Magistrate Zheng Rong. He's already sent his subordinate tutor to buy the medicine formula from you!" "Although it's called buying, with Zheng Rong's personality, he'll just force it."

"They've already reached the county town, and I'm afraid they'll be here tomorrow or the day after. We need to prepare countermeasures in advance!" Li Yuyao said seriously.

Yang Lin also frowned.

This really is a jungle out there, even a hint of weakness will attract wolves and hyenas!

Yang Lin frowned in thought for a moment, then still asked his question.

"Where did you get this information from"

Yang Lin looked at Zi Yi.

Purple robes had only just left for half a day, yet she already knew what was happening thousands of miles away. Even the fact that the governor of Pingyuan County sent someone to Jianghe County was known by her! This makes no sense at all!

Purple clothing then looked towards Li Yuyao.

Li Yuyao hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry about the source of the news, just believe that these messages are true! You will know some things later, now we need to make plans in advance!"

"Okay."

Yang Lin knew that Li Yuyao and Zi Yi had some secrets. Since they didn't want to talk about it, he didn't press them.

As for these two things…

Although the rebellion in Suizhou Yong'an City was a major event, it wasn't directly related to them for now.

The most urgent matter is to deal with the people sent by the county magistrate Zheng Rong!

This is a real tough one.

Dealing with the county magistrate is not as simple and straightforward as dealing with Zhao Deyi before.

Because the strength of the county town is completely incomparable to that of a small town.

In Jianghe County, he had to only control the three teams of yamen guards to almost control all the military force within the county town.

Each county seat was garrisoned by county troops, with a few thousand at the smaller ones and tens of thousands at the larger ones!

Once the magistrate is killed, what awaits you will be the suppression of thousands of soldiers!

So, this matter is practically unsolvable.

Either submit without resistance and be treated like sheep, slaughtered at will.

And once they rebel, they are likely to be branded as traitors and crushed by the army! In that case, it's still a dead end.

"Seeing Yang Lin furrow his brows in deep thought, Li Yuyao took a deep breath and said, “Why don’t we simply raise our army and rebel! With your abilities, it wouldn't be impossible to fight for this world!"

Hearing this, everyone in the room gasped.

Rebellion

They never would have thought of it!

How could my own sister be so bold as to rebel

But Zi Yi and Qing Yi's eyes gleamed with excitement.

They knew that with Yang Lin's assistance, Your Majesty would eventually rise up and reclaim the throne!

And now, perhaps it's a good time!

At this moment, everyone looked at Yang Lin with tension, waiting for his reply.

Seeing Yang Lin hesitating, Li Yuyao plans to reveal her identity!

However, the next moment Yang Lin shook his head immediately.

"Raise an army No, no, no! That's absolutely out of the question!"at least four or five hundred people!Yang Lin, who was still being held in the middle, finally let out a breath of relief at this moment."Surrender, for the power of the people is invincible!"Yang Lin...
