Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 122 The Horse's Butt Theory

"That punch was incredibly powerful. How could you bring yourself to do it?"

Feng An thought about it for a long time before finally asking the question.

Yun Ce pointed to the chestnut horse that was strolling aimlessly by the roadside with a seductive gait and its plump buttocks swaying, and asked, "What comes to mind when you see a chestnut horse's butt?"

"The beauty's..."

"Yes, that's what I think too. It's perfectly normal, okay? The question is, do you want to violate the chestnut horse, or do you want to violate the beauty?"

"She is naturally beautiful."

"That's right, that beautiful Consort Yu is just like a chestnut horse's rump in my eyes."

“Those who are not of my kind shall not be associated with.” After hearing Yun Ce’s explanation, he felt that he could also take on that ghostly and beautiful woman from the Gui Fang clan on his own.

Back at the manor, Feng An and Liang Kun went to find a place to bury Qin's body. Yun Ce saw E Ji smiling like a flower and went up to kiss her. This time, he could feel the wonderful sensation of E Ji's warm lips touching his.

As for Heng Ji's face, it was already indistinguishable from the chestnut horse's rump.

The Guifang people were originally wild beasts!
After the dragons arrived, they began to evolve and develop intelligence. Later, the unfilial son of the Yellow Emperor was banished to the Gui Fang, and the Gui Fang people began to take on human form.

Their evolution was so rapid that they completed the evolutionary process that took humans millions of years in less than a few thousand years.

Human evolution is a form of self-evolution, with the most basic evolution taking millions of years. During this long period of development, Homo sapiens even ate Neanderthals, leaving behind many hidden dangers.

Is it possible to evolve a group of beasts into humans through thousands of years of gene exchange?
Yun Ce didn't believe it. After all, even humans and gorillas, who are most like themselves, have reproductive barriers. The fact that the descendants of the Yellow Emperor could exchange genes with the Guifang people suggests that dragons are probably involved in this.

Because, from the legend of the dragon having nine sons, each different from the other, can we understand it this way—that the dragon has no reproductive barriers with any species, from elephants to ants?

Therefore, the dragon is the creator of all life in the universe.

When Feng An and Liang Kun returned from burying the people, they told E Ji about Yun Ce beating Heng Ji. E Ji immediately softened, wrapped her arms around his neck, and sat in his lap. Her warm breath almost set Yun Ce ablaze.

Just as Yun Ce was getting restless, Yun Linchuan's bald head suddenly appeared in his mind.

"If you dare touch a girl under eighteen, you'd better try it."

The lust that had just been aroused by Eji receded like a tide in an instant.

In fact, Yun Ce didn't need to try; he already knew the consequences of doing this on Earth. Although he wouldn't be dragged into target practice by Yun Linchuan, his fate would definitely not be good.

I don't know why Yun Linchuan hates lecherous thieves so much. He was nineteen when he got married, and his great-grandmother was only sixteen!

People can be bad, but they can't commit evil deeds. This is another of Yun Linchuan's favorite sayings, and Yun Ce remembers it clearly as well.

Nestled in Yun Ce's arms, E Ji could clearly feel that she was about to achieve her goal. Unfortunately, that warmth quickly faded away after a short while.

"Waaah—" Eji cried loudly.

Helpless, Yun Ce immediately pulled E Ji into the ancestral hall and pointed to the newly re-erected ancestral tablet of Yun Linchuan, saying, "Come, come, tell him that the Yun family's requirement for wives to be eighteen years old is him. If you convince him, we will officially get married tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Eji immediately stopped crying and sobbed, "How can I be considered convinced?"

"Just have him appear in my dream and say that I can marry you."

Eji playfully slapped Yun Ce, then took down the ancestral tablets and carefully wiped them with a handkerchief.

In Eji's mind, no one can lie about their ancestors. Since Yun Ce said so, then it must be the ancestral rule.

As the head wife of this branch of the Yun family, she naturally had to strictly abide by the ancestral precepts. However, it would be best if the ancestor were to appear in her husband's dream.

Eji eventually told Yun Ce about the high priest urging her to have a child for the Yun family as soon as possible.

Yun Ce's face was as black as iron.

Eji only knew that the High Priest was doing it for her own good, but Yun Ce knew perfectly well that he just wanted to enrich the gene pool of the Han people.

This branch of Han people lived alone for thousands of years. In reality, their blood ties were still very close. During the time of the Yellow Emperor, the human population could not increase much. Later, Huo Qubing arrived with an army, and the human population was able to increase to 600 million in two thousand years.

The High Priest would probably be very disappointed if he knew he came alone. The old man is still testing him, trying to determine whether he truly comes from the ancestral land through the child he had with Eki.

With the High Priest's protection, Yun Ce and Gouzi went to the crater several more times. Although the fire in the crater was of no use to the Shehuo, every time the Shehuo went to the crater, it would become very lively after returning. It would wander around in the Dragon Ball instead of staying in one place and burning quietly like before.

After the Lotus Moon comes the Autumn Moon. The full moon of the Autumn Moon looks about the same size as the Earth, but it is at a very low angle and appears every three days. Each appearance is very short, which makes the nights in Chang'an slightly cool.

During the day, the temperature was still very high, and the crops planted by Yun Ce officially entered a stage of rapid growth, especially the beans and baby beans. The vines of the beans could grow more than a foot every day, and the herbaceous plants of the baby beans were also becoming more and more lush day by day.

On the sixth day of the autumn month, Yun Ce discovered that the bean vines had blossomed. The flowers were pale purple and smaller than Yun Ce's fist. They were beautiful, but they had a slightly bitter smell.

Liu Changsheng had said that he should come to see the crops once they entered the next stage of growth. Flowering was naturally the next stage of growth. Yun Ce then sent Feng An to the Lantian County government office. The next day, Liu Changsheng arrived at the Yun family estate with a group of people.

Today, even more flowers have bloomed on the bean vines, their vibrant colors attracting countless insects to flutter among the blossoms in the sunlight.

Liu Changsheng gently stroked every flower he could see with his withered hands, as if encouraging them to bear fruit and mature successfully.

An old man with a silver beard, after observing the entire planting and irrigation process of the Yun family estate, said to Liu Changsheng, "I also plan to build an estate like this."

Liu Changsheng said with a half-smile, "Don't you trust this old man?"

The old man with the silvery-white beard didn't seem to be very afraid of Liu Changsheng. He stood in the field with his hands behind his back and sighed, "What's the use of one person or one family farming? It would be best if everyone had a piece of land like this."

We won't need to send more people to collect resources in the more distant wastelands.

Liu Changsheng sneered and said, "I've heard that people in Chang'an these days say they'd rather die than eat grass and wear clothes made of coarse cloth."

"Old Zhou, tell me, who said that? I want to see if he'll commit suicide just because he eats grass and wears coarse cloth."

Old Zhou said indifferently, "They're just a bunch of spoiled brats who've never experienced hardship. There's no need to lower yourself to their level."

Liu Changsheng said, "You are someone close to the emperor, so you should at least know what to do."

Old Zhou sighed and said, "I would rather this beautiful manor not appear in Chang'an, but in Tiewei Pass."

Now, the barren land between Tiewei Pass and the Great Wall, after so many years of harvesting, has become increasingly impoverished and can no longer provide more military supplies.

For every 100 miles the transport route is extended, transport losses increase by 50%; for every 1,000 miles the route is extended, losses exceed 50%.

Liu Changsheng asked, "You plan to have people grow food in the open space between Tiewei Pass and the Great Wall?"

Old Zhou glanced at Yun Ce standing not far away and said, "The title of Grand Master is also a title of nobility in the Han Dynasty. Shouldn't he be doing his job to share the burdens of the country?"

Liu Changsheng also glanced at Yun Ce and said to Old Zhou, "This person is somewhat different."

Old Zhou laughed loudly, "What? The order issued by the Grand Commandant's Office doesn't apply to this person, does it? Winter comes early in the north. By the time the mulberry leaves fall, the winter slaughter of the Guifang people will have already ended. If their accumulated cattle and sheep can be self-sufficient, that's fine. But if they are not enough, there will be another great battle under the Iron Enclosure Pass."

They are consuming more resources than they have to feed, so that their population matches their food supply. We are not like that. To be honest, every time I lose a general at the Iron Enclosure Pass, I feel heartbroken.

If those children we carefully selected are killed or wounded because of food shortages, Old Liu, even if it's you, I won't give you any face.

Liu Changsheng frowned and said, "We need to at least see the yield of this season's grain to see if it will have any effect."

Old Zhou waved his hand and said, "Every bean that grows is good. If Iron Enclosure Pass grows one more bean, the Han people can save twenty beans."

"If we hadn't known before, that would have been fine, but now that we do, he deserves to go where he's meant to be. If he's dead, he deserves to be sheltered from the wind; if he's alive, we've already won."

Old Zhou was a bold and outspoken man, a habit he developed on the battlefield, a habit that Yun Linchuan also possessed.

They have almost no good habits. As soon as they see a useful person, good food, or powerful weapons, their first thought is what it would be like to join the army.

As for what this useful person thinks, they don't care.

When Liu Changsheng waved to him, Yun Ce knew that he was about to be promoted and ennobled.

The dog shouted into Yun Ce's head, "Run! Run! I want territory! I want territory!"
