Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

The rabbit had eaten some of its meat in just a few bites. Li Yuan took out a knife and cut off a small half of the meat, then turned and walked towards Cheng Feiyue.

Cheng Feiyue saw him coming and looked at him blankly.

"Eat some to fill your stomach." Li Yuan handed it over. The unique fishy smell of raw meat rushed straight to Cheng Feiyue's forehead. He looked at Li Yuan blankly, unable to speak for a moment.

Li Yuan's meaning was very clear, he just wanted him to eat it, but after so many years of living a life of luxury, the most miserable thing was the food he ate in the military camp.

Now, they come out and eat raw meat.

There were some people in twos and threes behind looking at them. Cheng Feiyue had always known what he was shouldering, but he didn't understand, does a person's ability have to be reflected in sharing hardships with the soldiers?

He met Li Yuan's gaze and understood what was contained in his eyes.

Suddenly remembering the solemn words he had said to his parents, hesitantly reached out his hand to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan lowered his head and looked at the hand that Cheng Feiyue stretched out to him, and without giving him time to hesitate, he directly handed it to him.

"If you can't eat this rabbit meat today, you won't be able to tolerate the soldiers' harassment and disobedience tomorrow, and you'll be a leader with unstable morale the next day."

Li Yuan spoke in a low voice, considering Cheng Feiyue's identity.

He turned around, found a place to sit down, and stuffed the bloody raw meat into his mouth.

He ate calmly and with a normal expression, as if the food was not some fishy raw meat but a delicious delicacy.

Under the vague gaze, he finished eating the palm-sized meat and then swallowed it with water. No matter how much the others wanted to refuse, they could not resist and ordered everyone to eat it raw.

Cheng Feiyue took a bite, and the fishy and indescribable taste filled his taste buds. He subconsciously wanted to spit it out, but he saw Li Yuan's calm eyes beside him.

Years of competitiveness once again overcame his taste buds. If Li Yuan could do it, why can't I?

He swallowed the raw meat piece by piece with water. He was not the only one around him who had the same expression.

Some people have never eaten raw meat like this, and some people haven't touched it for a long time.

His ferocious expression did not stand out among the crowd of ferocious people.

Cheng Feiyue forced himself to finish his meal and waited until no one was paying attention, then he left the gathering place under the pretext of going out for water.

Someone followed quietly.

Seeing that there was no one around, Cheng Feiyue leaned against a tree and could no longer hold back his vomiting.

After vomiting a lot and feeling much better, Cheng Feiyue held onto the tree and turned around with a pale face.

Suddenly I saw Li Yuan standing behind me.

"you……"

A handkerchief was handed to him.

Cheng Feiyue twisted his face and said awkwardly: "I'm not crying, I don't need a handkerchief."

"What?" Li Yuan laughed after realizing what was happening: "It contains some pastries that Qi Niang packed for me to fill my stomach."

“I’m not used to eating it for the first time.”

Cheng Feiyue looked up at him and took it hesitantly: "Isn't this your first time eating it?"

Seeing that he misunderstood, Li Yuan did not explain.

Seeing this, Cheng Feiyue felt a little better. He thought that he was not much different and immediately became very excited.

"Why didn't Aunt Qi prepare any for me since she gave them to you?"

"She took it at the last minute because she thought I might be hungry on the road," Li Yuan explained.

"That's right, otherwise she wouldn't have wrapped it in her handkerchief."

Speaking of handkerchiefs, Li Yuan's eyes fell on the handkerchief, "Give it to me after you finish eating."

Cheng Feiyue looked at the cake, then at the handkerchief, and finally could not stand Li Yuan's stare, so he nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you later, let me eat it slowly."

One night passed.

After the news that Ling Feng had arrived at Zaoshan Village was passed back by the vanguard, Li Yuan and his men followed quietly.

The distance between them was neither far nor near, and Li Yuan controlled himself very well, being able to keep up while not being too far away.

The journey was smooth for two days and we were already halfway through.

At night, Ling Feng and his team set up camp in a valley.

In order to avoid being discovered, Li Yuan and his men had not made any cigarettes for a long time. These days, they had basically been eating dry food and game without fire.

Li Yuan looked at the concave terrain, which was surrounded by mountains and dense forests. It was a good place to hide and ambush.

He looked into the distance with deep brows and a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

"Give the order to be alert tonight and keep weapons within easy reach." Li Yuan said to the man behind him who had pleaded with him at the beginning.

The man, named Dai Jiangong, responded.

"But what's wrong?"

During these two days, Dai Jiangong realized that although these two men had backgrounds, they were humble and hardworking. From his current perspective of martial arts, no one among the hundred people could beat them.

What's more, the orders issued do not seem to be fruitless. After all, he is the person in charge, and Dai Jiangong is very obedient now.

"If it were you, would you set up a trap in advance in the area surrounded by mountains, waiting for someone to fall into it?"

"Bai Hu, what you mean is..."

"Be vigilant."

Dai Jiangong took the order and went down.

Cheng Feiyue looked at the mountain thoughtfully: "You have never been wrong in what you say. You said it is easy to be ambushed, which means there is really one ahead."

"If that's the case, what's the point of having him pass on the order? Wouldn't it be better to just send a vanguard forward and tell them that there's an ambush?"

Li Yuan shook his head: "No, if we do this, it will definitely alert the enemy, exposing both Deputy General Ling and us."

"You want to... wait for the mantis to catch the cicada while the oriole is behind?"

Cheng Feiyue asked tentatively, and when he got no response, he knew what he was thinking.

"What do you want to do?" Cheng Feiyue asked.

"What to do... depends on the investigation situation." Li Yuan said, looking at the people behind him.

"Cheng Feiyue, do you want to go with me?"

Although I don't know where to go, Feiyue has always been there for me.

He was eager to try: "Let's go, of course."

Taking advantage of the night, after Li Yuan and Dai Jiangong had finished their instructions, they immediately went to the forest with Cheng Feiyue.

The two men walked very quickly and were not far away from Ling Feng and the others. In less than half an hour, they had reached the foot of the mountain.

Li Yuan and Cheng Feiyue started from here, took lighter steps, and slowly climbed up.

Cheng Feiyue followed behind Li Yuan, paying special attention to the situation behind him. When Li Yuan gestured for him to stop, Cheng Feiyue had not noticed anything unusual.

"How……"

"Shhh."

Following the direction Li Yuan pointed, Cheng Feiyue saw nothing at first glance, "Nothing..."

A gust of wind blew, and the grass was bent, revealing the figure hidden in it.

He closed his eyes and opened them again. The situation there returned to calm, but he could still see the flaws.

"Walk."

Before he could see how many people there were, Li Yuan retreated to the other side to investigate again.

By the time they had figured out the approximate number of people, Cheng Feiyue and Li Yuan were already on their way back.

"How much do you think it is?"

"More than a thousand people."

"hiss--"

The scattered people in Deputy General Ling Feng's escort team add up to less than 500 people, and these 100 people of theirs would make a maximum of 600.

Six hundred versus more than a thousand...
