C101 (2/2)
As soon as Yang Lin's words fell, Li Yu started laughing. That expression was a little awkward, and he said: ”Master Yang must have misunderstood something, the Director Zhang has already said that this time when we come to Master Yang's camp, you are not allowed to ask for even a single silver. Our family would never dare to take your silver, we should still be careful of your head! ”
After saying that, he stared at the silver on the ground a few more times. Apparently, he was unwilling to part with it. He expressionlessly waved his hand and slowly lifted the cup of water, drinking a few mouthfuls of water. As if there was something that was difficult to bring to light, he hesitated for a good while before raising his head to look at Yang Lin.
”To tell you the truth, when Lord Yang captured Bo Cai's underlings, did he capture any personal letters?”
So it was for this. No wonder he was stingy with his words. He didn't even want silver taels. It seemed that his life was more important than silver taels. I don't want to do that kind of thing. Yang Lin quickly thought about it, then smiled at Li Yu.
”To be honest, Eunuch Li has indeed seized some private letters. But don't worry Eunuch Li, we will never see the light of these letters. ”
After confirming the whereabouts of the letters, Li Yu's anxious heart was finally at ease. His round face slightly moved, his eyes suddenly became much brighter, and his hands unnaturally rubbed on the water cups, his tone becoming more agitated.
”Lord Yang, can I bring these private letters back?”
This won't do, Yang Lin immediately gave him a negative in his heart. If you take these letters with you, how can I bargain with Chang? Even though you're Zhang Jean's trusted aide, who knows if you might have ill intentions. If you blackmail him, won't you make him hate me even more?
I'm afraid that I will have to disappoint the Eunuch Li, if I do not see the owner of these letters, I will not hand them over to anyone else, I have to be responsible for the owner of these letters.
Obviously, Li Yu was very disappointed, the expression on his face just now was completely wiped away. He might not have expected Yang Lin to reject him, he even looked at him angrily and continued to drink his water, ignoring Yang Lin. The atmosphere in the Big Account suddenly became awkward.
”Eunuch Li, please understand my difficulties. Before the end of the year, I will personally go to Luoyang, and at that time, I will pass the letter to its owner. ”
”Alright then, I hope Master Yang will not disappoint the expectations that the Director Zhang has of you.”
The entire night, the Youzhou Army's camp was immersed in a sea of happiness. Yang Lin made an exception and allowed the unqualified soldiers to drink wine at night. Even Li Yu was sighing emotionally. It was hard for the Youzhou Army to win the battle, so they were really single-minded.
”Big bro, let's toast to you. Normally, you're not allowed to drink alcohol, but today, a ban has been lifted. No matter what, you have to sing this.”
Guan Yu brought all his brothers and entangled Yang Lin, as if they had to drink alcohol. Under normal circumstances, Guan Yu was not a good drinker, but today he made an exception, and Yang Lin had no choice but to drink a big bowl with his brothers. When the other generals came to toast, Yang Lin really couldn't drink anymore and walked over on his own accord.
”It's better if I drink for the Lord Taishang. Let me toast all you brothers.”
Zheng Wei lifted his wine, and not only did he drink with the Captains, he also drank with Zhang Ling, Xin Pi and Xin Pi.
Some of them were even bandits. If not for Yang Lin, they would probably have to spend their entire lives in the fields, being oppressed and exploited by the landlords and tyrants. It would be good if they could get along well.
Zhang Ling represented Yang Lin and drank with them. This proved that in Yang Lin's heart, the three of them were the same as Yang Lin's brothers, and they could not be separated from each other. Especially Zhang Ling, he used to be just a fortune-teller, who would put him in their eyes? But now that he was also the advisor of the Lord Taishang, why didn't he feel grateful to Yang Lin?
Peng Tuo, Huang Shao and the other General of the Yellow Scarf Army s were displeased, just now, Yang Lin had only expressed to them that he did not drink, and now that Zheng Wei had drank wine on his behalf with his brothers, how could they be so biased? They came up one after another to drink with Zheng Wei, and this made things difficult for him, she only had a few cups of wine left, and did not dare drink anymore.
”Let me drink a cup of wine for my lord as well. I offer it to the generals.”
Zhang Ying saw that Zheng Wei was in a difficult situation, and could only walk up to the General of the Yellow Scarf Army and ask. With such a goddess-like beauty toasting them, how could the General of the Yellow Scarf Army s still have anything to say? They hurriedly picked up the wine and gulped it down.
If Yang Lin had not accepted them, they would not have met a good end even if the imperial court did not investigate them. He could only continue to be their ”dying peasants”. He put down their weapons and walked dejectedly back to his hometown. He picked up his long-rusted hoe once more and walked towards the desolate fields. When they threw themselves in front of their new master, recalling the scenes from the past would be like a nightmare that would linger in their hearts for the rest of their lives. Perhaps a nightmare had yet to awaken, and a new nightmare was about to begin.
