County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

quickly,

Huo Yan recounted the entire mission.

He recounted everything in great detail.

from,

Han Yilin also learned that

That woman was one of the personal guards of the deposed empress, and the token she carried was a token for recruiting soldiers to defend the king.

to be honest,

The capital was captured by the Pingtian army.

The empress was unwilling to accept the fall of her kingdom and wanted to rally her loyal forces to make a comeback.

As for the current whereabouts of the deposed empress, that woman didn't know either. After explaining everything, she died due to her severe injuries.

Bowing one's head

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand.

Han Yilin pondered to himself, "Judging from this, there's probably more than one such jade pendant. Other players should also have a chance of receiving the same quest."

"The mission has only two objectives: either stand with the Empress and help her restore her kingdom, but doing so is undoubtedly very difficult."

"The other is the rebel camp, which helped the Pingtian Army completely extinguish the Empress's hope of restoring her kingdom..."

Normally speaking,

These two options,

For players, it doesn't really matter which one they choose, since they're not familiar with the empress anyway, let alone receiving any benefits from her.

But now Han Yilin also faces the threat of revenge from the Pingtian Army...

What should we do?

Could it be that you'd say something like,

"Is it possible to reach a settlement?"

If there were an empress, it might be possible, but the problem is we don't know where she is right now.

Han Yilin didn't think so.

They could find the Empress's whereabouts before the Pingtian Army attacked.

However, this kind of task

Although it is effective

But it certainly won't end in a short time.

"Let's talk about it later."

Put away the jade talisman.

Han Yilin wasn't in a hurry to complete the task. He then looked at Huo Yan and nodded, "Not bad, I accept it. You can just message me privately if you need anything in the future."

Huo Yan's face immediately lit up with joy.

Become!

Although it was just a simple promise, it was enough for him.

At least,

There is no need to worry about safety issues.

If anything happens, just call your godfather.

You can find new resource sites if they're gone, but once you miss the chance to latch onto a powerful patron, you'll never have another one.

"clear!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Godfather."

"From now on, if your godfather needs anything, just give the order."

Her solicitous manner

Han Yilin twitched as he watched: "Alright, stop calling me godfather, it's like I'm Dong Zhuo."

This fat guy,

Although shameless.

But he's quite pragmatic and somewhat useful. As long as he's obedient, Han Yilin wouldn't recommend taking him under his wing.

Thinking of this,

Han Yilin instructed, "I'm a bit short of food lately, so could you keep an eye out for the surrounding level-five grain fields?"

Huo Yan's expression froze for a moment.

Damn it!

Taking up so much isn't enough.

Is this still going to be occupied?

of course,

Although his heart was bleeding, he nodded quickly on the surface: "It's the right thing to do. It's better for the eldest brother to take it than for someone else to take it."

Although he tried his best to cover it up

But changes in micro-expressions,

Clearly, it couldn't escape Han Yilin's eyes. Of course, he also understood that with just one sentence, he had taken all the level-five land in front of his house. Anyone with a temper would probably find it unbearable.

For this,

Han Yilin wasn't planning on taking advantage for nothing: "But don't worry, I won't let you come for nothing. What do you need right now?"

I thought it was freebies.

I didn't expect there would be compensation.

Huo Yan's face immediately lit up with joy: "Equipment! We're short on equipment, Godfather!"

"Weapons are okay, but the main problem is the lack of armor. You have no idea how many people I lose every time I attack a resource area because of the lack of armor. Some of the light infantry I promoted earlier suffered heavy losses in just a few days. It really hurts me."

For those lacking armor,

Han Yilin wasn't surprised.

after all,

This thing,

These items were contraband in every dynasty; possessing them was tantamount to treason, and they were not easy to obtain through ordinary channels.

Even if it's just sweeping through those explorable areas,

All they gained were weapons.

There are very few armored soldiers.

At most, you can get a set of armor from the bandit leader, but it's not so bad for your own side. You have an armor shop, so you can buy whatever you want if you have the money.

and,

Along the way

They did manage to seize some items.

Thinking of this,

Han Yilin said calmly, "Sure, I'll ship you a hundred sets later."

Upon hearing this,

Huo Yan's eyes widened: "Thank you, Godfather!"

Han Yilin: "..."

With this big, healthy son,

Han Yilin felt a little tired. "Don't you have any shame at all, doing this in front of everyone?"

After giving the instructions,

Han Yilin did not linger.

He led his troops back towards Zhatian County.

On the way,

He also calculated the cost of the armor. He was too embarrassed to give away white quality armor, but even a green quality leather armor would cost three thousand copper coins.

One hundred sets would cost three hundred thousand.

Fortunately,

He is not short of money now.

There are still over a million copper coins in the accounts.

This money,

Most of them were obtained by selling weapons after defeating the Pingtian Army's outpost last time. I sold them for over a million, and then spent a lot of the remaining money to pay the balance.

Subsequently,

It's another recruitment of cavalry.

Yesterday, I spent a large sum of money buying grain from Zhen Bailu.

but,

Along the way

I cleared out a lot of explorable areas, and opening treasure chests yielded a considerable amount of loot. I still have a bunch of weapons in my inventory, which will bring in another fortune after I sell them all.

Recently,

The shops in the city also generate a considerable amount of money every day.

So, according to this calculation,

For Han Yilin now, 300,000 is just pocket change. After all, the cavalry's pay alone is 600,000 a month, which is only enough to cover half a month's expenses.

......

More than 20 miles,

The group walked around all afternoon.

at dusk,

Finally back in Zhatian County, as promised, Han Yilin bought 100 sets of green-quality leather armor and delivered them there.

Subsequently,

This is just the beginning of today's recruitment.

There are still 240 displaced people.

After watching GG,

We recruited another special talent of purple quality. This time we were lucky; he's a doctor.

After the installation was completed,

Feeling utterly exhausted, Han Yilin returned directly to the City Lord's Mansion and then came to the Huaqing Pool, which had already been built.

The location of Huaqing Pool

Han Yilin built it in the backyard of the city lord's mansion.

In the beginning,

The place is still in a state of disrepair.

The courtyard wall had collapsed, weeds grew rampant, and the ground was covered with rubble and rotten wood, leaving not a decent place to stand.

later,

The City Lord's Mansion is being upgraded.

Not only were the front yard and main hall renovated, but the area of ​​the backyard was also expanded considerably.

The previously abandoned open space was cleared out, the collapsed courtyard wall was rebuilt, and a back garden was added.

On weekdays,

Han Yilin didn't come much.

but,

When Huaqing Pool was built, this location was chosen.

The surrounding courtyard walls provided shelter, and it was quiet enough, located right behind my bedroom—perfect for playing.

Before setting off the day before yesterday,

This place is still under construction.

Now that it's built, Han Yilin said he naturally wants to experience it.

"Mu Rou, quickly, go and call Xiao Qiyin here. I have something important to discuss with her."

Cheng Murou blushed and said, "My lord, is an important application something we should discuss in the pool?"

Han Yilin replied matter-of-factly, "Of course! Don't you know about the bathing culture in Northeast China? When discussing important matters, is there a more suitable place than a bathhouse?"

Cheng Murou: "???"
