Section 168: People-oriented (2)

Ye Kaihuai was very happy to receive the news that Hughes and Carter were about to return. The return of these two people also indicates that Feng Yang Town's true armed forces, which belong only to Feng Yang Town, will be born. Relying on others' protection, living with the protection of others has never been as happy as living with his own strength. Even if the person who protects himself is his second uncle, Ye Kaihuai still feels a little uncomfortable.

Leave the arable land to Xiong Feihu to deal with. Ye Kaihuai turned over and rushed towards Hughes and Carter's ears. Before Ye Kaihuai could run for a while, he met Xiuda, who was going to greet him, and was riding back. Xiuda came to Ye Kaihuai and jumped off the horse and reported: "Sir, I'm back, I have something to say to him, but..."

Seeing Xiuda looking like he was eager to speak but stopped, Ye Kaihuai couldn't help but feel suspicious and asked strangely: "What's wrong? Xiuda, just say anything you want to say."

Xiuda hesitated for a moment, considered his tone and said to Ye Kaihuai: "Sir, I want to tell you, please make some psychological preparations in advance."

"Psychological preparation? What kind of mental preparation? Xiuda, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, don't worry, I won't punish you for what you say."

"Sir, it's better to wait until someone sees the people Hughes and Carter recruited, so the Sir will understand."

"What? Are those people very nasty?"

"It's not very bad, it just gives people the feeling that those people don't seem to be here to join the army, but more like they are here to travel."

Ye Kaihuai frowned, feeling a little irritated. Hughes and Carter are quite reliable in their daily work. This time, wouldn’t they suddenly let themselves go back and forth?

"Have you asked Hughes and Carter himself?" Ye Kaihuai asked with a frown.

"No, when I met Hughes, I saw Hughes repairing the broken carriage there, and asked him where Carter was? He replied that it was behind, and then I came back."

"Oh, forget it, I understand. Shuda, hurry back and tell Uncle Aris that the welcome ceremony to mobilize the townspeople will be temporarily cancelled, and I will talk about it after I ask clearly."

"Yes, sir." Xiuda agreed and got on his horse and rushed back to Fengyang Town.

After sending Xiu Da away, Ye Kaihuai said to everyone around him: "Everyone, let's go and welcome him." After that, without waiting for everyone to answer, he urged the horse to run towards Hughes and others. Everyone was also curious about how scattered the people that Xiu Da said were, so they urged the horse to follow Ye Kaihuai.

There were three groups, five groups, a total of more than ten people, including men and women, horses, carriages, and even pointed at the maple leaf forest that had changed its appearance and returned to its previous color. Anyway, none of them looked like soldiers. Seeing Ye Kaihuai and others rushing over on horseback, one and two all stared blankly at Ye Kaihuai and others, but they didn't even see them coming out to ask about the identity of Ye Kaihuai and others.

After finding Hughes who was repairing the carriage, Ye Kaihuai pulled Hughes aside without saying a word, and asked in a low voice: "Hughes, have you recruited these people?"

“Eh… yeah.”

"Huces, did you encounter any difficulties when recruiting soldiers?"

"Ah? No, as soon as your recruitment notice is posted, no less than 200 people will sign up in one day."

"Since that's the case, Hughes, why do you recruit those people? Do you think that those people are the materials for joining the army?"

"Of course they are not in charge of being a soldier..."

"You're not going to help me?" Ye Kaihuai was immediately angry. He was really afraid of anything he was going to do. Unexpectedly, Hughes was also unreliable, and he happened to have an attack at this time.

"Don't be angry, Ye Kaihuai, listen to my explanation."

"Okay, you say, I'll listen." Ye Kaihuai tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, waiting to listen to Hughes' explanation.

"Those people are indeed not materials for joining the army, but they are more important than those who join the army."

Ye Kaihuai looked at Hughes with a serious look on his face, thought for a while and asked, "Hughes, tell me who those people are? What are they good at?"

"Huh? Ye Kaihuai, you didn't think of it?" Hughes asked with a look of surprise.

"Probably, you are not so careless in your daily life, and you rarely make mistakes in the things you leave to you, so I think there must be reasons for you to recruit them in those people."

"Yes, Ye Kaihuai, those people are graduates from Tianxing and Yangwu this year. Some are good at handling government affairs, some are good at education, some are good at construction, and some are good at planting. But unfortunately, there is no one among them who are good at military... But there is no way out. Those powerful people have been booked in advance by those with great power. For example, the ten people we recruited this time are all ordinary people of ordinary origin and no background..."

Ye Kaihuai reached out and patted Hughes on the shoulder excitedly, interrupting Hughes and said, "Don't talk about Hughes, you did a good job in this matter, it's really great. You are really my good brother. How did you think of this? It's really a relief to me in dire straits. Good! I was so sorry just now, I thought you had ruined the matter I gave to you."

"It doesn't matter. Actually, these people were not recruited by me. As my identity, these people will not pay attention to me easily."

"Who helped us?"

"Who else? Of course it's Ye Kaihuai, your confidante in Anping City." Hughes said to Ye Kaihuai with a smile.

"A confidant? Who? I said Hughes, you don't know that I have many confidants. You should just tell me who helped me."

Hughes rolled his eyes at Ye Kaihuai's cowhide and said helplessly: "What Lin Ruoxi said is really right. You are indeed bragging."

"Oh, is there anyone else besides Lin Ruoxi?"

"Of course, Lin Ruoxi took action, why was Lin Xiruo idle? And I heard that they had put a lot of effort into getting these guys to come here, especially Lin Xiruo. I heard that she almost knelt down to someone who studied agriculture to come to you..."

"Who is the one who almost made Lin Xiruo kneel down?" Ye Kaihuai looked into the crowd not far away with fierce eyes. It was not as simple as saying hello to others.

Hughes was shocked and said quickly: "Don't look at Ye Kaihuai, that person didn't come. You don't know that the bastard actually asked Lin Xiruo that he wanted to come, and he had to stay with him for one night..."

"So he got it?"

"Well," Hughes nodded, "He is still lying in the hospital now. I guess he won't think about it even if he is discharged from the hospital in the future. He offended the eldest sister of Yangwu Academy now... Oh no, I'm letting go."

"Sister? Hughes, tell me clearly what did that girl do while we were away? Why didn't Lin Ruoxi ignore her?"

"This is actually not Lin Ruoxi's fault, because when Lin Ruoxi noticed it, the club formed by Lin Xiruo in the academy was already very powerful."

"Return, return the club? Who gave her the idea?" Ye Kaihuai asked in surprise.

"It's not me, right?" Ye Kaihuai looked at Hughes who looked at him without saying a word, and hesitatedly pointed at himself and asked.

Hughes nodded silently.

"How could it be?...Oh, I remembered it... I just said that, why did she, the silly girl, really do it? It's over, it would be strange if her grandfather, who protects her shorts, doesn't come to cause trouble for me."

Hughes looked at Ye Kaihuai, who was scratching his head, and looked anxious, smiling without saying a word.

"You are still laughing! Are you brothers? By the way, where is Carter? Didn't the letter say that you two are back together?"

"He is behind. Didn't you let the slaves be purchased at Anping's real estate exhibition? I'll let Carter bring me and the soldiers he recruited to escort the slaves together."

"Oh," Ye Kaihuai nodded, "Let's go, let's go back to the town first to settle the people you bring, and then go and pick up your brother."

"Ye Kaihuai, why don't you worry that Mr. Lin is coming to cause trouble for you?"

"Worrying that there is nothing to do with it, what do you want to do?"

"Ye Kaihuai, you are so open-minded, and your heart is so broad."

"That's... are you praising me?"

"Of course, just think I'm praising you."
