Kapitel 55: Recruiting Men and Buying Horses (1)

Inside the guest hall, the elderly male smoothed his white beard, his entire face flushed with satisfaction.

"There is still one matter I need you to help me complete." Yun Luofeng's lips lifted with a wicked curve. "Now that you've already returned your million-men military power to that dog emperor, our Yun family has to form our own forces now."

"The elderly man was silent for a moment. "Feng'er, you have to think about this matter thoroughly. Organizing forces requires one to recruit people, and this movement is too big, it is highly possible it'll cause suspicion from the Emperor. Thereupon, if the imperial family suppresses us, with our Yun family's current situation, we will be unable to successfully stand up to them!"

"Grandfather, I've already thought of this matter thoroughly." A light flashed through those black eyes as Yun Luofeng's smile deepened. "Not long ago, I had people publicly beat up Mu Shen, making my already dandy reputation spread through big streets and small alleys¹. Since it's like this, then why don't I become even more dandy through and through! You can tell the public that I threw a tantrum at home, forcing you to recruit 100 guards and 100 maidservants for me! As for the recruiting, you can have that dog emperor do it for you!"

The old man was stupefied and uttered hesitantly, "Feng'er, this isn't so good, right? You want to recruit people in order to form an army that belongs to our Yun family, so if we let those from the imperial family help us with this matter, with his wariness, he will definitely choose some people with deficient innate talents."

"I don't care about the innate talent of these people, as long as their bodies don't have defects and their age is under 18 years old, it will suffice."

Having deficient innate talent is negligible when she possessed a divine, cheat-like artifact like the Medical God Code here! No matter how deficient, she had ways to make them improve their innate talent!

"Feng'er, isn't there still one matter that you haven't considered yet? If you let the Emperor recruit people for you and he places a spy in there, then everything that you do will be known by him!"

Facing Yun Luo's question, Yun Luofeng smiled, her brazen brows were filled with confidence.

"As long as he dares to place them, then I'll dare to accept!"

As long as he dares to place them, then I'll dare to accept!

Just how much confidence was needed to make her say such egotistical and uninhibited words?

Yun Luo sighed. It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized: When it comes to his granddaughter, he actually didn't understand at all...

"Feng'er, I'll enter the palace in a little while. I'll let the palace's people assist me with the recruitment of people!"

"Okay." Yun Luofeng winked. "Grandfather, when you see the Emperor later, don't forget to extort money from him! Everyone says Yun family's assets were completely squandered by me, so you will go confirm this statement!"

The old man was suddenly lost for words. He gathered this was the real the reason why Yun Luofeng would want people from the Imperial Palace to recruit people for her.

Since this matter should not be delayed, Yun Luo did not stay anymore. After donning his court attires, he hurriedly had someone move the palanquin, hastily setting off towards the Imperial Palace.

When he entered the imperial study, he discovered that in addition to Emperor Gao Tu, even His Highness the Crown Prince was in this study as well. His expression displayed a hint of hesitation, but soon his expression quickly morphed. Compared to his previous radiant glow at the General Estate, the current him was somewhat dispirited.

"Old General, why did you come to meet Zhen¹?"

Gao Tu saw Yun Luo's expression, coldly laughing in his heart. Even without thinking, he knew that Yun Luofeng, that trash, definitely got into trouble again.

"Your Majesty."

Yun Luo kneeled on the floor with a plop, his aged figure appeared thin and frail. "This old official's granddaughter considers the servants of the General Estate are too few, and it doesn't conform to her identity as the eldest miss. Because of this, she is having this old official step forth and help her recruit guards and maidservants, 100 each. However, this old official is already old in years, how can I work this hard? Thus, I came to request Your Majesty for assistance."

Gao Tu's eyes flashed with astonishment, but more of it was schadenfreude.

"General, your contribution is countless, so Yun Luofeng, as your granddaughter, will naturally enjoy a splendor that surpasses that of imperial sons and descendants. Thus, zhen will send the Crown Prince to help you recruit people."

"Thank you for Your Majesty's grace. This official still has one matter to request Your Majesty's assistance." Yun Luo lifted his aged appearance, face filled with helplessness. "Your Majesty should have also heard that this old official's granddaughter recently became fascinated with medicine. To this end, she threw away all the money of the General Estate on medicinal herbs; therefore, this old official's estate really cannot support these many people. So, is it possible for Your Majesty to pay their monthly wage on behalf of this old official?"

"It ought to be like this, it ought to be like this." Gao Tu's face exposed a smile. "Then, your Yun Estate's guards and maidservants' monthly wage will be paid by the Imperial Palace for you. This will be considered as a reward for a minister who has provided an outstanding service."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this old official will excuse himself."

Yun Luo stood up from the floor, cupped his hands in salute, and then left the study.

At this point, no one could see that the moment he turned around, his chrysanthemum-like old face had blossomed into a smile.

This pair of father and son would never think that soon, a monstrous team would unexpectedly emerge from the Yun family! The people comprising that team were all the people that the Crown Prince had previously helped the Yun Family choose. Moreover, even the money that supported this team was paid by them.

When they learned of this matter, this pair of father and son was nearly angered to death!

"Emperor Father, what do you think this General Yun Luo actually wants to do?" Gao Ling knitted his brows. "Could it be that he wants to secretly recruit men and buy horses¹? Defect from the imperial dynasty?"

"If he really wanted to recruit men and buy horses, then he would not come to the Imperial Palace and report! He would also not allow the imperial clan to get involved!" Gao Tu sneered coldly. "Hence, zhen actually believes it is Yun Luofeng, that trash, who forced him to carry out this matter! Ling'er, when you help General Yun in recruiting people, the recruits should be the type of low aptitude."

Gao Ling's gaze shifted outside the study, as though lamenting, he said, "Emperor Father, this son-subject thinks this General Yun Estate is already coming to its end! First, its money has been completely squandered by Yun Luofeng, and now she is still tormenting General Yun Luo like this! Having a wasteful and dandy granddaughter like that, I reckon General Yun Luo's lifespan will decrease! It won't be long before he will be angered to death by Yun Luofeng!"

In reality, towards General Yun Luo, Gao Ling's heart actually harbored some deep admiration. Unfortunately, a person like General Yun Luo actually raised a good-for-nothing like Yun Luofeng! With Yun Luofeng's existence, how could the General Estate not decline?

"Originally, zhen still wanted to let Yun Luofeng be your concubine. Looking at it now, a person like her doesn't even deserve to be a concubine! Once Yun Luo dies, she will then be completely useless!" Gao Tu's voice was very cold. "In comparison, Mu Wushuang of the Mu household is much better. She possesses outstanding innate talents, her personality is good, a paragon that is a motherly model for the kingdom, and a disciple of Jing Lin. In all of Longyuan Kingdom, only Mu Wushuang can match you."

Gao Ling curved his lips. "The existence of a trash like Yun Luofeng was always meant to become a backdrop for Wushuang's incomparable excellence. She only has this value."

The imperial clan's work efficiency was completely different. Only a few days were needed to recruit the people that Yun Luofeng required. However, after looking at the aptitude of these people, Yun Luo's mouth could not help but twitch, his heart even more anxious.

Merely relying on these people's innate talent, can they really be soldiers that totally annihilate armies in the future? Yun Luo did not believe this point, but he still brought these people back to the General Estate...
