Chapter 151: Mr. Kong's Secret

terest of 1,520,640 wen, for a total of 2,283,840 wen.”"The calculation is as follows: income in cash, 348 taels; offsetting debts through labor, 496 taels; mortgage principal and interest totaling 2,..."Speaking of Zhong, you know he's the current Zhongshushe Left Pushe, but do you know how he became the Left Xiang in court"

"Eight years!"

Li Yuxiang extended two fingers and gestured.

From an obscure county magistrate to the powerful Grand Secretary of the Great Qin, he accomplished this in just eight years!

Yu Zhong's administrative capabilities are unmatched. Everyone who has met him is impressed by his abilities.

Yang Lin was increasingly surprised.

"Speaking of Chu Jie, he seems rough on the outside but is actually quite strategic. He rose from a common soldier to his current position as General Zhenwei through his military achievements. You know how many barbarians he has killed with his own hands"

"He's slain over a thousand people! Because of this, in the eyes of foreigners, he is known as the 'Demon Slayer Who Slaughtered Thousands'!"

"As for Chu Jie's bravery... you know Zi Yi's skill, but let me tell you, even if three Zi Yi attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for Chu Jie!"

Yang Lin was completely stunned.

These three people seem ordinary, but in reality they are terrifying!

"What about Master Kong" Yang Lin couldn't help but ask.

Yang Lin had to admit, his three disciples were very capable.

But Kong Qiu, this master craftsman, seemed very ordinary and there was nothing particularly special about him.

Let me tell you one thing, and you'll know just how amazing Mr. Kong is.

Li Yuyao's lips curled into a strange smile as she said, "Ma Ruoyun, Yu Zhong and Chu Jie were nothing but obscure merchants, mediocre martial artists, and poor students who couldn't even pass the exams before becoming my disciples!"

And after they became disciples of Baikongqiu, within a year, they all rose to prominence!

Yang Lin was astonished and dumbfounded.

That is to say, the achievements of Ma Ruyun, Yu Zhong, and Chu Jie today are all thanks to their master!

Now you understand why I let you go to Suizhou with them, don't you

"Mr. Kong is willing to take you on as his last disciple, this is a fantastic opportunity for you!"

Yang Lin, however, frowned.

He admitted that Mr. Kong was indeed skilled, but he had never considered becoming his disciple.

"There's actually one more thing, and it concerns a big secret about Master Kong!" Li Yuyao whispered mysteriously.

"What secret" Yang Lin hurriedly chased after.

Li Yuyao shook her head: "I don't know. Everyone knows that Mr. Kong is the leader of the four families of Rites, Law, Soldiers, and Scholars, but few people know that his master was also the former leader of the four families, and his master's master was in charge of these four families."

And this lineage of his, whether it be him or his master, grandmaster, rarely took on disciples. But once they accepted a student, they could turn an ordinary person into a soaring dragon!

Therefore, it is widely speculated that each generation's leader of the Four Houses possesses a secret, which is only passed down to their chosen successor.

So as long as you become Mr. Kong's disciple, you'll probably know that secret!

Li Yuxiang's eyes burned with passion.

But Yang Lin still couldn't muster any interest.

To apprentice oneself to a master for a secret that one doesn't even know about, and which may not even exist

Yang Lin shook his head. "I'm not interested in that secret."

He admitted that Master Kong was very capable, and his disciples were also very capable.

But what does this have to do with myself

Is that all it takes to go after someone He can't do it!

Li Yuyao frowned.

"There's actually one more thing. I intended to tell you when we were leaving after you agreed."

"I have here a very important letter. I can't trust anyone else with it, and I need you to deliver it to Suizhou yourself, handing it to a specific person!"

Li Yuyue looked at Yang Lin sincerely.

Yang Lin couldn't help but laugh and cry: "So, I have to go"

"Definitely!" Li Yuyao nodded seriously.

"Alright, alright, since my lady insists on me going, then I shall go."

Yang Lin shrugged.

He could feel that Li Yuyao really wanted him to make this trip.

As for why

Yang Lin felt that she hadn't spoken the real reason yet.

Upon hearing Yang Lin's words, Li Yuyao couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt.

The reason I want Yang Lin to take this trip is twofold: firstly, I hope he can go out and broaden his horizons; most importantly, it's to give him some pressure!

Although the village is good, it is too peaceful, like a gentle paradise.

She could feel that Yang Lin wasn't greedy for power, nor did he have any lofty ambitions.

If you just stay in this comfortable place, you might be able to protect yourself, but if you want to develop and grow, it's far from enough!

Therefore, she consulted with Kong Qiu and his disciples, planning to take Yang Lin with them on their trip to Suizhou this time. This would broaden his experience and enhance his knowledge.

As for whether it would be dangerous, she was not worried.

Kong Qiu and his four disciples are not to be trifled with!

Moreover, she knew very well that Yang Lin had always prioritized safety. As long as he agreed to go to Suizhou, he would definitely be prepared. He would have bows and crossbows, and even those explosive weapons. Unless he went looking for death himself, nothing would happen to him.

And at this moment, Li Yuyao felt that Yang Lin had only agreed to go to Suizhou because of her, and she felt very guilty in her heart.

"When you return, our new house will be finished. Then... I'll become your woman!"

Li Yiyong lightly bit her lips, not daring to look into Yang Lin's eyes.

After the lights were turned off that night, the room was plunged into darkness.

Yang Lin was just thinking about the "compensation" Li Yuyao had mentioned during the day, when he felt a pair of warm, red lips coming towards him...

As if trying to make up for her previous shortcomings towards Yang Lin, Li Yuyao was particularly proactive. Her princess pride even asserted itself in this act of kissing. Though she wasn't experienced in this, she still took the initiative to lean towards Yang Lin and kissed him first, taking control of the situation.

There were too many people in the house, even though it was pitch black, he was embarrassed to make too much noise, so he just quietly kissed Li Yuyao in his arms until long, long ago!

Until a whisper-like voice, "Who is eating" came from Xiao Jiu in bed, the two of them quickly separated, blushing, their hearts still pounding fast.

In the dead of night, two hands clasped together once more, feeling the warmth of their affection...

The next morning, Yang Lin got up early. After breakfast, he went out and notified the heads of each workshop. He also called upon Zhao Fu貴 and Zhong Tao, who had returned to the village but hadn't left yet, to gather under the big willow tree outside the village for a meeting.

But when Yang Lin spoke, everyone was immediately surprised!

"Qin Shuang, you have one day to expand the guard force by five hundred people!"

As Li Yuyao had anticipated, since he had decided to go to Suizhou, the issue of safety had to be addressed.

When everyone heard the number "five hundred," they were all shocked and dismayed. They had already realized what Yang Lin was about to do!e volunteered to be the shopkeeper for Yang Lin's store.But the arrival of this person surprised Yang Lin very much.The visitor turned out to be Liu Xi, the steward of Master Liu's household.“Young Ma...
