Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Li Yuan talked things out with Wei Qiqi in the evening and went to find Cheng Feiyue the next day.

When he arrived at the gate of Cheng Feiyue's yard, he bumped into Cheng Feiyue who was returning home.

"You're back at this hour?"

Li Yuan frowned and asked, Cheng Feiyue smelled strongly of alcohol, and his clothes were still the same as yesterday.

"I stayed up too late last night, and I'm sure someone will see me when I come back. It's better for me to walk in this morning. They will think I'm just coming back from going out."

Cheng Feiyue was beaming with joy as he spoke, unable to conceal his pride.

"That's really clever, he actually learned to deceive his superiors and subordinates!"

A female voice came from behind the two of them. The voice was high-pitched and full of energy, which scared Cheng Feiyue like a quail. His face fell and he looked miserable.

"Mother~"

"You've grown up smart. You've actually learned this trick. If I hadn't come here today, how long would you have kept it a secret?"

As Xu Yaluo spoke, she had already walked a few steps towards Cheng Feiyue.

A slap hit Cheng Feiyue on the back of the head.

"When can you learn from Li Yuan and stop being so wild and always thinking about running away..."

Cheng Feiyue's head shrank reflexively, then he smiled and wrapped his arms around his mother.

"Mom, you are really my nemesis. This is the first time you have caught me like this."

Cheng Feiyue said, pushing Xu Yaluo to his yard: "You must have something to do when you come to my place. Come in and tell me what's going on."

"You are the only one who is poor. You should calm down and grow up quickly. You will get married in two or three years. Why are you still acting like a child and being so clingy?"

Xu Yaluo said this, but did not brush away Cheng Feiyue's hand. Li Yuan followed the two of them in.

Xu Yaluo came here to talk about when Cheng Feiyue's father Cheng Qing would set off for the north.

Because there were too many things to be handed over between the military camp and the city in a short period of time, she was asked to talk to the two children.

"Your father said that you will stay in the mansion until the New Year and then go to the military camp.

The deputy general beside you will take you there when the time comes."

Xu Yaluo took the tea handed to her by the maid and took a sip.

"Then mother, Li Yuan and I have such special identities, what positions does father plan to assign to us?"

Cheng Feiyue asked again. He thought that after all, he was the son of the city lord. No matter how low his status was, he couldn't be a centurion. But it couldn't be too high either. A captain of a thousand men would be enough.

Xu Yaluo and Li Yuan met eyes, and seeing that look, Li Yuan knew that Cheng Feiyue's idea might be in vain.

"Of course, you and Li Yuan have different identities from others..." Xu Yaluo said, taking another sip of tea slowly. Cheng Feiyue, who was standing beside him, was scratching his head and waiting for his mother to speak.

"Your father said that you should be an ordinary soldier and climb up with your own abilities."

Xu Yaluo put down the cup and said, "If you can't become a centurion by yourself before he comes back, he will break your legs and cut off your money."

Cheng Feiyue was stunned by these words. He stood up and was surprised: "Is this still my father? Why is he like this?"

"Soldier? How can I start as a soldier? I don't even eat and live with them."

After saying this, Xu Yaluo just looked at him quietly.

"No, no way? My father won't let me live and eat with those soldiers?"

"mother--"

Cheng Feiyue grabbed Xu Yaluo's thigh and said, "This is meaningless. Why do you want me to be a soldier? I want to be a general in the future and lead millions of soldiers in a city. How can I fight as a soldier?"

In response to Cheng Feiyue's shouting, Xu Yaluo calmly signaled him to calm down.

"Remember, you and Li Yuan can only stay in the mansion until the end of the year. After the end of the year, you have to go to the military camp."

Cheng Feiyue kept wailing, and Xu Yaluo thought he was too noisy, so she stood up and prepared to leave.

"By the way, Li Yuan, do you and Qi Niang have enough charcoal and other things in your room?"

"That's enough, Aunt Xu."

"That's good. It's almost the end of the year and I have a lot of things on my mind. I don't have time to look for your Qiniang." Xu Yaluo said as she straightened her clothes.

"No, she's too idle. I have to keep her busy."

Xu Yaluo has been getting along well with Wei Qiqi over the years. It was a little awkward at the beginning, after all, she was sitting in the seat of her dead best friend.

Later, as they got to know each other better, he found that this person was really nice, and he persuaded and persuaded him to live in his house.

Li Yuan smiled faintly and didn't respond.

I've been stuck in the house these past few days, and I'm afraid Qiniang might want to come out and get some fresh air.

It's best to have someone accompany you.

After Xu Yaluo left, Li Yuan slowly took off his cloak and coat. Cheng Feiyue couldn't help shivering when he saw this.

"Li Yuan, aren't you cold? The martial arts master won't be here for a while."

"It's okay, just practice first."

As he practiced every move taught by his master, Cheng Feiyue wrapped his cloak tightly around him and watched Li Yuan practice with a gloomy face.

"We were all taught by the same master, but every time he taught me once or twice, I learned all the moves, but I still couldn't perform them.

Even if I can fight, I will often be scolded by my master, who will say that my movements are not smooth enough, nor powerful enough. "

As Cheng Feiyue was talking, he started to talk: "How come you are so good at everything? You are good at both literature and martial arts. All the masters praise you. Even my parents wish they could treat you as their own son when they see you."

Li Yuan practiced martial arts, listening to Cheng Feiyue's voice between movements.

He got no response, which he was used to, so he continued.

"Ah...why does everyone like you?"

"When we first met, I really wanted you to disappear from our family when I saw you."

As I was talking, I thought about the past.

The first time Cheng Feiyue saw Li Yuan, he remembered being rescued on the street. The child looked at him with a colder look than his angry father.

He was stared at by his peers. Having just lost a friend, he felt his self-esteem was hurt and he was so angry that he burst into tears.

Unexpectedly, when they met for the second time, he was led by that beautiful and extraordinary person. A'niang said that he would be her study partner and playmate in the future.

He was very happy at first. He talked to Li Yuan every day, in class and after school. He even wanted to follow Li Yuan back to live outside the mansion.

But Li Yuan was like a taciturn person and didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

Until he was left out again and went out to play, he happened to run into his old friend.

He was blocked, and like enemies meeting each other, they were extremely jealous of each other.

The other side had more people and he was beaten and ran away in panic.

Li Yuan appeared at that time, and with each of his hands he knocked four or five people to the ground fiercely.

"After you saved me, I knew that you treated me as a friend, but you just didn't like to talk."

Cheng Feiyue is cheerful, doesn't take anything to heart, and is very good at comforting himself.

After that, she didn't mind Li Yuan's silence at all and stayed with him every day.

"I really treat you as a brother."

Cheng Feiyue suddenly said this, Li Yuan paused, and the figure of the master was already in front of him.

"What brother? Cheng Feiyue, why didn't you practice with Li Yuan?"

"I……"
