All Heavens and Worlds Modified History System

Chapter 135 This is not scientific!

".One day, Cao Cao asked Jia Xu and Cheng Yu for advice, 'I want to break into the city, do you have any good ideas?'"

"Jia Xu said, 'Gather the corpses from the battlefield and throw them into the city with a catapult to cause a plague. Once all the people are dead, the city will naturally be taken.'"

"Cao Cao was shocked. Before he could say anything, he saw Cheng Yu rushing over and fighting with Jia Xu."

"When Cao Cao saw this, he stroked his beard and laughed, 'Wenhe's plan is against the harmony of heaven, and even Zhongde can't stand it.'"

"At this time, Cheng Yu grabbed Jia Xu's clothes and shouted, 'You thief! How dare you touch our military rations!?'"

On the deck, Chen Ran, sitting on a mat, was chatting and laughing with the soldiers about the Three Kingdoms.

Inside the cabin, Lin Daiyu, who was eavesdropping, covered her mouth and laughed, "How bad."

"Sir," a soldier asked, "What should we do if we encounter a city that we cannot break?"

Chen Ran picked up the tea, took a sip, and then frowned and said, "Didn't Jia Wenhe already say that?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Lin Daiyu behind the cabin door frowned and said, "How bad!"

"When the Han Dynasty was at war with the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu did this kind of thing." Chen Ran replied solemnly, "Hundreds of years ago, the Mongols roamed the continent and destroyed countless countries. People now only remember that they were once as powerful as tigers, but who still remembers that they often broke into cities by creating plagues?"

"As a warrior, once you are on the battlefield, your primary goal must be to destroy the enemy. As for what means to use, that depends on what means are effective."

The soldiers looked at each other in silence, obviously still digesting the situation.

"The Confucian concept of being a saint on the outside and a king on the inside has really castrated all the blood."

Chen Ran lost interest in talking about the Three Kingdoms and started talking about Journey to the West instead.

"Have you ever read the book Journey to the West?"

A soldier laughed and said, "You are joking, sir. We are illiterate and cannot read books. But in our spare time, we listen to storytellers in teahouses."

“That’s knowing.”

Chen Ran nodded repeatedly. "In that case, how about I ask some questions about Journey to the West?"

The days of sailing on the ship are very boring, and you always have to kill time besides eating and sleeping.

In addition to exercising, practicing martial arts and reading, he would spend his free time chatting and laughing with the soldiers on the ship to relieve his boredom.

Lin Daiyu, who was equally bored, was too embarrassed to join in, so she simply eavesdropped from inside the cabin.

After all, Chen Ran’s storytelling is humorous and his words are pleasant to the ear. They are perspectives that have never been heard of before and are very attractive.

Faced with the question, the soldiers naturally nodded in approval.

Others said that they had listened to Journey to the West many times, and the adults just asked questions and they knew everything.

Chen Ran was picking up the tea bowl. "Everyone, who knows what are the three most common sentences Sha Wujing said in Journey to the West?"

When these words were spoken, all the soldiers on the deck were stunned.

When people listen to books, they naturally listen to the story of the protagonist and pay attention to the Monkey King. Who would remember what Sha Wujing said!
After waiting for a while, seeing no one answering, Chen Ran shook his head and said, "This is because you are not paying attention when reading or listening to the book. I was planning to treat everyone to a feast when we stop at the market in the evening if anyone can answer it."

Before he finished speaking, a clear and soft voice came from the cabin door behind him, "Big Brother, Master has been captured by a monster! Big Brother, Second Brother has been captured by a monster! Big Brother, Master and Second Brother have both been captured by a monster!"

Chen Ran's smile suddenly froze on his face.

The soldiers reacted quickly, saying repeatedly, "Madam is really knowledgeable and well-read. We are ashamed of ourselves."

Everyone misunderstood that Lin Daiyu was Chen Ran's family member and that she had gone with him to take up the post.

Girls' information had to be kept confidential these days, and no one explained it to the soldiers, leading to the current situation.

Lin Daiyu in the cabin stamped her feet, turned around and hurried back to the cabin.

She just wanted Chen Ran to spend some money and treat everyone to a meal.

At the same time, I had been on the boat for a long time and wanted to go ashore and relax.

"Miss, why don't you listen?" Zijuan saw Lin Daiyu coming back angrily and asked curiously, "Is it over so early today?"

Lin Daiyu sat on the chair angrily and turned her head away.

Zijuan was already used to it. She smiled and put down her work and walked forward, "Miss, tell me, what did you hear today?"

"These people are really..." Lin Daiyu was so angry that she said, "How can a girl's reputation be so rude?"

Zijuan suddenly realized that someone must be saying that her daughter was Mr. Chen's family member again.

"None of those soldiers knew the young lady's identity, and there would be no intersection between them in the future. Once we disembark in Yangzhou and enter the government, everything will naturally become a passing cloud."

Lin Daiyu felt better and was about to complain a few more times when she saw Ping'er knocking on the door.

When she saw Ping'er, Lin Daiyu blushed and turned her head away.

Every time I see Sister Ping'er, that indelible scene comes to mind.
It's really going crazy!
Ping'er was very calm and composed, as if she didn't remember anything.

After entering the cabin, he smiled and said, "The master said that the fleet will stop at Yaowan Town in the evening, and he will treat everyone to a banquet. Miss Lin, if you want to eat anything, just tell me and ask the restaurant to prepare it and send it up."

Lin Daiyu's temper immediately flared up. "I answered the question correctly, why don't you invite me to ashore for a feast? It's too boring to sit on the boat, I want to go ashore for a walk."

"Miss Lin," Ping'er advised, "This place is not like the capital. If you go out, you may run into danger. It's better to stay on the boat."

Sister Lin was about to say something, but suddenly she saw Chen Ran had walked in. "Miss Lin is very talented." He first praised her, and then warned her, "This world is not peaceful, and all kinds of people gather in the market town. If anything goes wrong, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"I understand." Lin Daiyu is actually the most polite person. She can vent her feelings by saying a few sharp words.

If she were really asked to stroll along the shore, she might not want to go.

The fleet docked at the pier of Yaowan Town, which is a very prosperous market along the Grand Canal, with a constant flow of traffic and pedestrians along the shore.

Chen Ran invited everyone to go ashore for the banquet, but he himself returned to the boat with the lunch boxes prepared by the restaurant and gathered with Ping'er, Lin Daiyu and others to have dinner.

"The roast chicken here is really delicious."

After having a full meal and a few drinks, Chen Ran took the towel handed to him by Ping'er and wiped his hands and mouth. Then, under the stunned gaze of Lin Daiyu, he stood up and took off his clothes.

Lin Daiyu was dumbfounded. Could this man be crazy?

Fortunately, Chen Ran only took off his outer clothes and put on the chain mail handed to him by Ping'er.

Lin Daiyu was shocked, her face turned pale and she asked, "Is something going to happen?"

"Ah."

Chen Ran, who was wearing armor, responded casually, "People in the court knew that I was going to deal with the salt administration, so they might have to raid several houses. They are desperate and have already followed the fleet for a long way."

Lin Daiyu's words were all trembling, "Then today"

Chen Ran glanced at her and said, "There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Today, I deliberately sent all the people to the shore to give them a chance to act. Even if you don't answer the questions, I will treat you to a meal."

Lin Daiyu’s face turned paler and she looked a little helpless.

"Don't panic, I'm here for you." After getting dressed and putting on his outer garment, Chen Ran took out two pistols and stuffed them into his waist. "Be careful and don't come out. It will be fine in a moment."

Looking at Chen Ran's departing back, Lin Daiyu suppressed her fear and asked Ping'er, "Is he always so dangerous?"

Ping'er sat down beside her and held her hand. "Master said that if you want to do something, you will offend people and there will be danger. It's no big deal. We can just cover it up when the water comes."

"The master said that it was just like when Lord Lin was managing the salt administration, he offended the salt smugglers and caused the death of the lady and the son."

"What did you say?!" Lin Daiyu suddenly screamed and stood up, her face full of disbelief. "My mother and brother were murdered by someone?!"

"You don't know?" Ping'er was puzzled, and then suddenly realized, "Master Lin must not want you to worry."

Lin Daiyu sat on the chair with a dazed look on her face, tears streaming down her face.

She always thought her mother and brother were sick.
Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard outside the cabin.

The sound of a large group of people running trampled on the deck, and shouts and screams in various accents continued.

The clashing of weapons, the vibration of armor plates, and the humming of bowstrings were intertwined together, like hell on earth.

Lin Daiyu subconsciously hugged Ping'er and Zijuan tightly, staring at the cabin door with a trembling heart.

The noise outside was very chaotic, especially the screams which were piercing.

Suddenly, something hit the cabin outside. The loud noise made the girls' faces look even paler under the candlelight.

"Bang!" After a muffled sound, the fierce noise outside gradually quieted down.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Lin Daiyu felt that the candle was about to go out, the cabin door was suddenly pushed open.

Lin Daiyu, who had never experienced such a terrible thing, subconsciously closed her eyes and screamed.

"Stop shouting, it's me."

When Chen Ran's slightly tired voice came, Lin Daiyu instantly quieted down.

Looking over, Chen Ran's expression was still quite natural, except that his clothes had a few holes in them, and there was a faint pungent smell of gunpowder.

"I don't know what these people are thinking." Chen Ran took off his rotten coat and said, "They actually found a group of gangsters to do the work. They are good at sneaking on the ship, but when they fight, they are just brave men and have no cooperation at all."

He is used to fighting wars, and when he encounters a conflict, he thinks in terms of combat mode.

How could the people of Jianghu have any ability to cooperate on the battlefield? They just rely on their bravery and bloodiness to risk their lives in exchange for money.

Ping'er hurried forward to take the clothes, her pretty face full of worry, "Master, are you okay?"

"Very good." Chen Ran joked, "I'll feed you tonight, cough cough."

Thinking of Lin Daiyu still beside him, he quickly stopped the topic and said, "Nothing else, take a good rest. We should reach Yangzhou city in a few days."

Seeing Chen Ran was about to leave, Sister Lin suddenly stood up and came over, her face full of seriousness, "My mother and my brother, were they really murdered by someone?"

"You don't know?" Chen Ran was surprised at first, then he realized, "It seems that Lord Lin doesn't want you to know this."

Zijuan who was standing by couldn't help but want to laugh. Why did she talk the same way as Sister Ping'er? Could it be as those old women said, they would become more and more alike if they slept in the same bed?

"Whether it is true or not, you can ask Lord Lin yourself when you arrive in Yangzhou City."

Chen Ran took Ping'er in his arms and walked out. "But your mother has lived in Suzhou for many years without any problems. How could she die of a sudden illness due to acclimatization after arriving in Yangzhou?"

"This unscientific!"
