Chapter 263 Departure
On the other side, in the study in the front yard, Yang Zhengshan was also talking to Liang Jinyan.

"When will the Marquis return to Beijing?"

Liang Jinyan poured tea for Yang Zhengshan and said, "It should be within these two days. The Marquis' Mansion has been packed up and we will return to Beijing when we get back!"

It is indeed time for Liang Chu to return to Beijing. If it were not for waiting for Liang Jinyan and Yang Yunxue to get married, they would have been on their way back to Beijing a long time ago.

"Ok!"

Yang Zhengshan picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Your cultivation is still too low!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Ah!" Liang Jinyan didn't expect Yang Zhengshan to suddenly mention his cultivation level, and said awkwardly: "My son-in-law is stupid!"

Yang Zhengshan shook his head slightly, then stood up and took out a wooden box from the cabinet behind him.

"Take these and practice hard. Don't embarrass me!"

This wooden box is very large, at least two feet long, and is filled with ginseng from the Lingquan space.

The oldest ginseng in the Lingquan space is about five or six years old. Although it is not a big deal in terms of age, because it is irrigated with Lingquan water, its efficacy is much stronger than that of ordinary ginseng. More importantly, these ginsengs also have some of the efficacy of Lingquan water.

Yang Zhengshan couldn't give people the spiritual spring water, so he gave them medicinal wine and the medicinal herbs in the spiritual spring space.

"I have prepared thirty jars of medicinal wine for you, ten for the Marquis and ten for your father. You can keep the rest for yourself and use them with Yunxue!"

"The path of martial arts requires perseverance, but the assistance of medicine is also very important!"

"These are ginseng and medicinal wine, both are good things, please don't waste them!"

Yang Zhengshan said slowly.

Liang Jinyan took the wooden box, feeling touched and curious, "Is this the reason why your cultivation is so high?"

Yang Zhengshan smiled and said, "She has good talent, but she can't grow without enough resources!"

Yang Yunxue’s aptitude is high because she has been drinking spiritual spring water, but spiritual spring water is also a resource for cultivation.

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Liang Jinyan happily accepted the things.

Even though he is the third son of the Marquis's Mansion, he does not have many resources at his disposal.

The Marquis' Mansion has been passed down for three hundred years and can be said to be a wealthy and powerful family. In addition to the direct lineage, there are also many side branches, and the resources required are enormous.

As for Liang Chu, he's OK at leading troops in battles, but when it comes to making money to support his family, he's not even as good as a small businessman.

Therefore, the Marquis' Mansion has been supported by its foundation over the years.

In Liang Jinyan's generation, except for the eldest grandson of the eldest son, the others do not have many resources.

Speaking of which, Liang Jinyan was able to become a warrior at the age of sixteen under such conditions, which is considered a very good talent.

"Don't be frugal. From now on, I will send someone to deliver a batch of medicinal wine to you every three months. You just need to work hard on your cultivation!" Yang Zhengshan said generously.

He was mainly worried that the Marquis' Mansion would be delayed in its cultivation due to insufficient resources.

As for medicinal wine, he really has no shortage of it now.

As long as he is willing, he can brew more than ten large vats a day, and it will be ready in a year or two.

At present, there are more than a dozen large jars of medicinal wine in the Lingquan space.

"My son-in-law will practice hard!"

Liang Jinyan and Yang Yunxue stayed at Yang's house for one night and returned to Chongshan Pass the next day.

After they leave, Yang Zhengshan will also go to Tenglongwei to take up his post.

However, before leaving, Yang Zhengshan still had some things to arrange.

Today, the Yang family's business is not small, including horse farms, farms, shops, and most of the Yang family's business is in Anyuan City. If the Yang family leaves, these businesses will naturally need someone to manage them.

Yang Zhengshan didn't care about anything else, but this horse farm was a headache.

After he left Anyuan City, he certainly could not go to the horse farm often to add spiritual spring water to the horses. Without the spiritual spring water, the Yang family horse farm would become an ordinary horse farm.

This was the case with the horse farm in Yinghebao before, and it will be the same with the horse farm in Anyuan City now.

The horse farm in Yinghebao is still there, but it can only earn a few hundred taels of silver for the Yang family every year. The farm is relatively small and can only raise fifty horses at most, and it takes four or five years for a foal to grow into adulthood.

Therefore, the horse farm in Yinghe Fort only produces seven or eight war horses every year, and the annual profit is only two or three hundred taels.

The horse farm in Anyuan City is quite large and can raise more than 500 war horses. If it were turned into an ordinary horse farm, it should be able to earn three to four thousand taels a year!
After some consideration, Yang Zhengshan decided to give the horse farm of Yinghe Fort to Yang Chengzhang, the current defense officer of Yinghe Fort.

As the name suggests, Yang Chengzhang is also a member of the Yang family.

The horse farm is too small. It is not worth the Yang family's time and effort to give it away. As for selling it, the horse farm is not worth much except for the horses.

As for the horses, we will leave some mares and foals for Yang Chengzhang, and bring the rest to Anyuan City.

This can be regarded as his support and care as an elder for the younger generation.

After arranging the industries in Anyuan City, on October 20, Yang Zhengshan left Anyuan City and headed for Tenglongwei.

On the day of his departure, the prefect Lin Shoude, the military governor Xu Jin, and many military officers from the garrison came to see him off.

Yang Zhengshan regarded Lin Shoude and Xu Jin, his two old brothers, as friends. The three of them had worked together in Anyuan City for more than three years. Although the tempers of the two gave Yang Zhengshan a headache at the beginning, after getting to know each other, they found that they had similar interests.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan specially invited them to have a meal at his home two days ago. After all, the Yang family has so many industries in Anyuan City and will need their care in the future.

As for the military officers of the garrison office, Han Cheng was the chief among them, but at a glance one could find that there were only a few of them.

There was no other way, Yang Zhengshan almost emptied the garrison office.

Song Dashan, Yang Mingzhen, Xie Yuan, Wu Chongzhe, Yang Minghao, it can be said that Han Cheng is the only one left in the Garrison Office. In addition, there are Zhou Ren and Lu Wenhua, both of whom are clerks in the Garrison Office, and Yang Zhengshan will also be taken away with them.

As a result, the Anyuan City Garrison Office was left with only a group of garrison officers and team leaders, besides Han Cheng, the garrison commander.

Well, there are still five hundred soldiers!

However, the foundation of the Anyuan City Garrison Office is still there. The soldiers stationed outside the city have all been trained and nourished by spiritual spring water. Although they are not as good as the 500 soldiers around Yang Zhengshan, they can also be considered elite soldiers.

Give Han Cheng some time, I believe he will be able to rebuild the elite garrison camp soon.

"Everyone, please come back!"

Yang Zhengshan mounted his horse and bowed to everyone.

"Sir, please walk slowly!" Han Cheng shouted.

Yang Zhengshan pulled the reins and rode towards the front of the team.

The long line stretched for two or three miles, and there were as many as a thousand people accompanying Yang Zhengshan to take office.

In addition to five hundred soldiers, the Yang family also had a large number of servants and guards.

In addition, Song Dashan, Yang Mingzhen, Xie Yuan, Wu Chongzhe and others all brought some family members and servants with them.

The long team was moving towards the southeast. Fortunately, they did not need to rush. After covering the full distance during the day, they stopped to rest early at night.

Tenglongwei is located in the southeast of Qinghua Prefecture. To go to Tenglongwei from Anyuan City, you don’t need to pass through Qinghua Prefecture, but you need to pass through Jing’an Prefecture.

However, it was still difficult for them to enter the city with so many people, especially since Yang Zhengshan brought 500 soldiers with him. Even if he had orders from the Central Army Commander's Office and the Ministry of War, it was still difficult for him to enter the city.

So every time they arrived in a city, they would find an open space outside the city to spend the night, and only arrange for a dozen people to go into the city to buy some necessary supplies.

Just as Yang Zhengshan and his men were heading to Tenglongwei, in Qinghua Prefecture's Qingwang City, King Qing had already received the news that Yang Zhengshan was on the way.

Prince Qing is thirty-six years old this year. He was only seven years old when Emperor Chengping ascended the throne.

In the study of the royal city, Prince Qing was wearing a crimson-purple Chengzi robe. His tall and thin figure made him look particularly tall and straight, and his bright eyes and a pair of sword-like eyebrows made him look even more heroic.

At this moment, he stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the dead leaves drifting in the garden outside the window.

Behind him stood a sturdy man, "Your Majesty, it is estimated that Yang Zhengshan will arrive at Tenglongwei in three days!"

"Tenglongwei!" Prince Qing muttered softly, but his eyes were always fixed on the dead leaf flying in the autumn wind.

It was a maple tree leaf, with fiery red leaves floating in the air.

"My uncle is so hypocritical!"

The maple leaves fell to the ground, Prince Qing withdrew his gaze, walked to the desk next to him and sat down.

"Yang Zhengshan led more than a thousand elite cavalrymen to kill tens of thousands of enemies!"

"Should I feel honored that he has arranged such a capable person by my side?"

Prince Qing had long heard of Yang Zhengshan's name.

Not only Prince Qing, Yang Zhengshan is now notorious. Anyone who has paid attention to the war in the North is familiar with his name.

It was no secret that Yang Zhengshan was about to be promoted to the commander of the Tenglong Guard. The emperor's edict was sent to Anyuan City in broad daylight.

"Then Your Majesty, do we want it?" The sturdy man made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Prince Qing looked at him as if he were a fool, "Don't you know that Yang Zhengshan is accompanied by 500 elite cavalrymen?"

He knew what the sturdy man meant, it was nothing more than assassination.

To assassinate Yang Zhengshan?
This should be a way to commit suicide!
Not to mention that Yang Zhengshan is a killer on the battlefield, just among the 500 elite cavalrymen around Yang Zhengshan, how many of them can approach Yang Zhengshan quietly?
"We can use poison!" said the sturdy man with his head down.

Prince Qing shook his head slightly, "No need for that. This kind of unpresentable method is useless if used any more."

He was not a moral gentleman, nor did he object to assassination methods such as poisoning, but he knew that he could not kill Yang Zhengshan.

Emperor Chengping had just arranged Yang Zhengshan to Tenglong Guard, but he died before he even arrived at Tenglong Guard. Isn't this equivalent to telling everyone that I have ulterior motives and I want to rebel?
"Then let him take up the post of Tenglong Guard?" the sturdy man said somewhat unwillingly.

He thought it would be better to get rid of Yang Zhengshan as soon as possible. After all, Yang Zhengshan had a bad reputation. Once Yang Zhengshan took office, he would inevitably become an obstacle to the prince.

Prince Qing didn't care at all, "The Tenglong Guards today are no longer the Tenglong Guards of a hundred years ago!"

"Haha, besides, if Yang Zhengshan wants to control the Tenglong Guard, he has to ask the Lan family if they are willing!"

He had no doubt about Yang Zhengshan's ability, but what he cared about was not Yang Zhengshan, but the thoughts of Emperor Chengping.

In his eyes, Yang Zhengshan was just a knife, a sharp blade being controlled by Emperor Chengping.

The knife was a threat to him, but his biggest threat was the person holding the knife.

So he had no intention of targeting Yang Zhengshan at all.

Even if there was no Yang Zhengshan, there would be Li Zhengshan and Lin Zhengshan.

What's more, it is not an easy task for Yang Zhengshan to control Tenglongwei.

The Tenglong Guards have been in Qinghua Prefecture for a hundred years. A hundred years is enough time for an elite army to become corrupt and give birth to a group of parasites.

The termites in Tenglongwei are not ordinary termites.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Tenglongwei. From now on, we just need to watch the show!"

The corners of Prince Qing's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an interested smile.

He is looking forward to the next good show.
