My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 84 Cavalry Song

A few days later, the two men from the Lu family rode their horses and saw Jiuyuan Pavilion in the distance.

"Haha, brother, you went to visit that young boy, but not only did you not see him, you didn't even give him a gift. It was really a wasted trip. In my opinion, it would be better for you to go back to Mayi. Maybe you can even secretly meet your sister-in-law who has not yet married you."

Lu Bu chuckled and sang a hindsight speech behind Lu Yi.

"My brother, don't talk nonsense..." Lu Yi was not angry when he heard it, but a smile on his face.

When he visited Zhao Yun a few days ago and found that Zhao Yun was not at home, he immediately changed his strategy and wanted to treat Zhao's mother with generous gifts.

Although Zhao's mother was from a poor family, she was very strong-willed and refused to accept Lu Yi's gift.

Lu Yi thought about it and realized that if there wasn't such a mother, how could such a perfect talent like Zhao Yun be raised?

Although Lu Yi failed to deliver the gift, his enthusiasm and sincerity deeply moved Zhao's mother.

The Zhao family had always been poor, and Zhao's father died early, so they were considered a poor family even in the not-so-rich village.

But Lu Yi took the trouble to come from afar to visit, and not only was he very polite in his words and deeds, he also prepared such a generous gift. This made Zhao's mother, who had been living a hard life, very proud, and she had a very good impression of Lu Yi.

Moreover, Lu Yi knew that he had to play the whole role. Even if he couldn't meet little Zhao Yun, he made an excuse to stay overnight and took Lu Bu with him to transform himself into a little housekeeping expert.

Not only did he help Zhao's mother repair the house and make some simple wooden furniture, he also helped Zhao's mother take care of all the work in the fields. In just two days, he finished all the farm work in the Zhao family's fields by himself.

Although Zhao's mother strongly opposed it, she was just a weak woman. How could she stop two strong men, Lu Yi and Lu Bu, who insisted on doing it?
Moreover, it is the spring plowing season now. After Zhao Yun followed his master away, the farm work in her family is very heavy and not something a woman can complete easily. Even if Lu Yi doesn't do it, she has to ask the neighbors for help.

But Lu Yi did not stop there. Seeing that Zhao's mother refused to accept the gifts, he simply gave all the gifts to his neighbors in the village.

First, he asked them to take better care of the Zhao family in their daily lives. Another implicit warning was that if anyone saw a man in the Zhao family who wanted to bully Zhao's mother, he, Lu Yi, would never let it go.

Therefore, Zhao's mother was extremely grateful to Lu Yi and the other man, and once told Lu Yi that if Zhao Yun returned from his studies, she would let him thank Lu Yi well.

However, after spending two days together, Lu Yi had figured out Zhao's mother's character. He looked displeased when he heard what she said, and said righteously that he came to visit only to make friends with Junjie and did not ask for anything in return. When he left, he did not even leave his specific address.

Although Bingzhou is large, Lu Yi is also famous. If Zhao Yun really wants to find him, he will definitely be able to find him. Therefore, Lu Yi deliberately did not leave his address, so that he could better gain the trust of Zhao Yun and his mother.

Not to mention now, even in the next twenty years, Zhao Yun would be an unknown person. It was not until he joined Liu Bei's army that he began to truly shine and attract the attention of the world.

Lu Yi is not only the most outstanding hero in Bingzhou, but he is also making great strides towards becoming a wealthy merchant, a landlord, a warlord, and a powerful vassal. What is there for such a person to gain by lowering himself to them?

After doing all this, Lu Yi and Lu Bu quietly left under the cover of night. Before leaving, Lu Yi took Lu Bu to fill all the water tanks of the Zhao family.

This is already the limit; any more than that and it becomes obvious how deliberate you are.

Even so, Lu Yi believed that Zhao Yun would consider himself an important reference when choosing which power to join in the future, even if he would not join directly.

But for Lu Yi, he couldn't control the future, and that was enough. ...

After Lu Yi and his companions returned to Jiuyuanli, they immediately bumped into Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and others who were training cavalry and had returned to the team.

"Brother, you're back!" When Cheng Lian and others saw Lu Yi returning, they immediately rushed up excitedly.

In the past, with Lu Yi blocking the way ahead, they only needed to follow the route planned by Lu Yi step by step. However, Lu Yi only walked for ten days, and the various tedious tasks such as training new soldiers, planning land, etc. almost suffocated them.

After all, very few people are born with talent. Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and other people who have left their names in history are just young men at this moment. Their abilities have not been honed and their horizons have not been broadened.

Only Gao Shun was still standing there, restraining the new recruits with a serious face, revealing the qualities of a first-class general.

"You are all now in charge of the caravan with many subordinates. Even though you are not on the business trip now, you cannot abandon your men without permission!" Lu Yi frowned and rebuked sternly.

"This...we were wrong. Please don't blame me, big brother..." Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng hung their heads upon hearing this.

Only Hao Meng sneered when he saw this, thinking that Lu Yi was just the head of a caravan, but he was still using the hierarchy as a pretext.

However, although he was disdainful in his heart, he disguised it very well on the surface. Not only did he admit his mistake to Lu Yi with everyone else, but his attitude was also the most sincere.

"Gao Shun, you did a good job!" After seeing that everyone admitted their mistakes sincerely, Lu Yi praised Gao Shun alone.

"Big brother, there's no need to praise me. This is my job!" Gao Shun still had a poker face. He showed no joy even when he received Lu Yi's praise.

"It's almost noon now. Fengxian, you go and arrange lunch first and let the guys take a break for a while..." Lu Yi looked at the sky and gave an order to Lu Bu.

"Yes!" Lu Bu received the order and was about to prepare, but was stopped by Lu Yi.

"Wait a minute, remember to prepare more meat..." Lu Yi added with a smile, and the 250 waiters cheered excitedly when they heard it.

……

While Lu Bu was arranging meals, Lu Yi brought Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and others back to the old house and asked about what happened in Jiuyuan during the time he was away.

"Big brother, in the past ten days, the fifty old men who were on vacation have returned, and the one hundred new men they recommended have been registered after our assessment and have become official men of the caravan. The one hundred new men who were originally from Jiuyuan have also returned to the caravan. Now the caravan has a total of 250 men."

"But the eldest brother hasn't returned yet, so we can't take over. We haven't assigned them any positions yet. We've just mixed them together for basic training."

"The farmers who sold their farmland to us in Jiuhe have already settled down in other places in Jiuyuanting. Now that spring ploughing is approaching, they are more anxious than us, so this matter went very smoothly. Now, except for the wasteland, all of Jiuhe is my brother's land, and no family lives there anymore."

Gao Shun was holding an account book, and he knew every detail clearly.
