C465 The World Was Suffering
After Wenn Shiyang heard the man's words, he thought for a long time. Then, he agreed with Lin Rann's words. After all, Lin Rann's words had given Wenn Shiyang a glimmer of hope. If Wenn Shiyang insisted that Lin Rann return to the Imperial City... Lin Rann would definitely keep his promise.1
"Then can Mr. Lin wait for a day in the Imperial City? I will ask His Majesty to take a leave of absence tomorrow. When the time comes, I will travel with Mr. Lin. My Great Zhou Dynasty."
"I will definitely be able to wait for Lord Wen at the city gate tomorrow."
After the two of them made an agreement, Lin Rann helped Wenn Shiyang up. After that, they parted ways, but Lin Rann stayed in the Imperial City for a day. It wasn't because he didn't want to go back. It was because with his current condition, once he got close to the Lin Prefecture, he would definitely be discovered by the commoners. At that time, he would cause trouble again.
In fact, Lin Rann didn't know that during the period when Lin Rann left, Su Xin had already issued a fiery order that all the soldiers in the Imperial City would protect the Lin Residence. Furthermore, she had ordered that anyone who approached the Lin Prefecture would be killed without mercy. Therefore, all the civilians in the Imperial City were killed. Other than saying a few unpleasant words in private, there were no other actions.
Of course, there were wise people among the civilians. They knew what Lin Rann had done for the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, there were too few of them, and those who were truly wise wouldn't tell others what they thought. Therefore, although none of them were close to Lin Rann, because of the rumors, they hated him. However, in the Imperial City, most of the people still hated Lin Rann in their hearts.
Lin Rann found an inn in the Imperial City and stayed there for a night. On the second day, he waited at the city gate early in the morning. After Wenn Shiyang and Su Xin mentioned the matter of taking leave of absence from the court, Su Xin immediately approved it. After Wenn Shiyang took leave of absence, he did not even return home. He changed his clothes and went to the city gate. When he saw Lin Rann waiting for him, a smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Lin, let's go now. This old man has benefited from Mr. Lin. I can have a good rest for a few days now. I hope Mr. Lin won't despise this old man."
"Master Wen must be joking. Master Wen has been working for the dynasty for so many years. It's time for him to rest. However, I don't plan to take a car on this trip. So, Master Wen, would you like to walk with me?"
"I'm not a weak aunt. I was once a person who killed enemies. Why would I be afraid of these things? Lord Wen, lead the way. I'll go with you to see the state of the dynasty."
Just like that, the old man and the young man walked on the road with smiles on their faces. The man's purpose for this trip was very clear. After leaving the dynasty, they headed towards some famous scenic spots in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It only took half a month for them to travel to some of the famous scenic spots near the Imperial City. Along the way, Wenn Shiyang kept exclaiming in admiration.
The strange scenery of these famous scenic spots surprised Wenn Shiyang. One should know that after Wenn Shiyang became an official, he never left the Imperial City again.
After travelling around these famous scenic spots, Lin Rann suddenly brought Wenn Shiyang to various mountain villages where Wenn Shiyang used to be. Seeing Lin Rann suddenly change his direction, his destination was also a little strange. However, when they arrived at each mountain village, Wenn Shiyang finally understood Lin Rann's intention.
These small mountain villages were all very poor. Many of the villages did not even have clothes. They wore grass skirts woven from straw and lived their daily lives. However, these small mountain villagers did not have such a dull and ordinary life. Other than complaining, they did not do anything else.
Moreover, these small mountain villages were closer to the Imperial City, so they were able to come into contact with some of the Great Zhou Dynasty's relief. So, they were actually living a relatively safe life. After all, those small mountain villages at the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty... They had to constantly be on guard against the enemy mountain bandits' army and their own country's army.
When he heard Lin Rann mention this matter, Wenn Shiyang's face was immediately filled with doubt. Why were the citizens of Great Zhou Dynasty afraid that after Lin Rann heard about this matter, they would bring him to a wounded soldier camp?
When they just entered the wounded soldier camp, Wenn Shiyang wanted to reveal his identity to comfort these soldiers who were fighting for the dynasty. However, Lin Rann stopped them. The two of them hid their identities and entered the wounded camp.
In the wounded barracks, it could be said that they were mixing together with the injured soldiers. At this time, they were not resting in peace and recuperating. They were drinking wine and eating meat. Moreover, some soldiers even brought the prostitutes outside to enjoy themselves in the wounded barracks.
When Wenn Shiyang saw this situation, he couldn't help but want to reveal his identity and teach these soldiers a lesson.
But Lin Rann stopped Wenn Shiyang in time. After he left the wounded barracks with Wenn Shiyang, he bought a small cart from an old man who passed by, and then the cart was filled with goods. Again! He brought Wenn Shiyang to the wounded barracks.
"Soldiers, I am here to repay all of you for fighting for the dynasty. This lowly one is here to give all the things on this carriage to you generals. Thank you, sir, for saving the lives of our Great Zhou Dynasty and saving the lives of us commoners. "
Wenn Shiyang was full of confidence when he saw this scene. He thought that these soldiers would not accept Lin Rann's gift. They would also give Lin Rann money to live a good life. However, the reaction of these soldiers was out of Wenn Shiyang's expectation.
"Kid, you are very sensible. I never thought that there would be such a sensible kid like you in this day and age. Not bad. I really like things like you to stay behind and leave the money on you as well. Give it to me for drinking in the future. "
"Big Brother, why are you making things difficult for me? Why don't you leave this kid with me? I've been wanting to taste the taste of men for a long time. Look at this kid's tender skin. He must be much more fun than those women."
Originally, these soldiers had accepted the gifts from Lin Rann, which had already made Wenn Shiyang very angry. He did not expect that some soldiers would actually speak rudely to a man like Lin Rann.
"You guys are the brave soldiers of Great Zhou Dynasty. Why are you doing this? Don't you know that doing this is against the economy? Aren't you afraid that the dynasty will punish you? "
After hearing Wenn Shiyang's words, the soldiers all laughed loudly. They felt that Wenn Shiyang's words were really too funny. They didn't think that there would still be people who believed in this matter these days. An older soldier came in front of Wenn Shiyang.
"Old man, don't think that I won't dare to hit you just because you are old. Don't think about your identity. We are all soldiers who have fought for the dynasty. How can you, a mere lackey, provoke us? Leave the money and things behind. You can all get lost now. "
