Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Li Yuan took the things given by Wei Qiqi and left her yard.

The next day, he asked Huo Xiuwen to gather everyone in the venue. The crowd was buzzing with whispers.

Li Yuan looked at the crowds that were almost unable to accommodate the people in the venue, and ordered everyone to stand together, straight and in line, in groups of 100.

Jian Feng, Jian Yu, Cheng Feiyue and Dai Jiangong all went down. Some people didn't want to listen. When they still didn't do as they were told after the second time, they didn't waste any words and just picked up the sticks beside them and hit them.

It doesn't hit a fatal spot, but it causes unbearable pain.

Some troublemakers who were still unwilling to cooperate were beaten out and made to lie on the ground unable to move.

The effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was very good. The huge crowd quickly separated and each hundred people formed a group. Li Yuan's men maintained order.

The scene quickly became quiet and orderly.

Li Yuan asked the more experienced and capable people under his command to take on the duties of a centurion and asked them to write down the name and characteristics requirements of each person.

And they were warned that those on the list would be their soldiers in the future.

Some people in Jiguanshan seemed dissatisfied, but Huo Xiuwen and Li Yuan were both above, and because of Jianfeng Jianyu and others, no one dared to act rashly.

"Cheng Feiyue, Dai Jiangong, Dong Da, Li Fugui, Zhang... Da Gou, Tie Zhu, Er Mazi..."

Li Yuan read out the names easily, but it became more and more difficult as he went on. He always felt that he had more endurance than ordinary people, but he never thought that the names of these people could easily shatter his peace.

"Niu Chao, Jiu Lan?"

The people whose names were called stood out from the crowd. These people were the temporary managers that he and Huo Xiuwen had discussed.

In addition to Cheng Feiyue and Dai Jiangong, the name that stood out among the various names was a name called Jiulan.

Li Yuan looked up and saw that the last of the ten people was a woman.

The woman looked at Li Yuan with arrogance and provocation. She was ready to be questioned by the new boss, and then to defeat them with her fists and feet.

Unexpectedly, the boss, who was so handsome that he looked at her for only a moment and then looked away.

"These ten people will be the centurions in the future. From now on, you should go to the centurions for all your matters. They will be responsible for training you and solving your problems. Likewise, you must obey them absolutely."

"What if a centurion is not worthy of the position? She is not as good as us, how can she train us to be centurions?"

A voice came from behind the woman named Jiu Lan, and the owner of the voice kept looking at Jiu Lan from time to time. The person she was referring to was self-evident.

Li Yuan glanced at Jiu Lan, and seeing that Jiu Lan didn't take the man seriously, he said, "Every seven days, if you are dissatisfied with a centurion, you can set up a ring and fight in the afternoon of the seventh day. If you win, the winner will be a centurion."

"Of course, life or death doesn't matter in the ring."

"In addition, if you disobey the orders of the centurions at other times, you will be beaten with a stick twenty times, and if you disobey the orders three times, you will be stripped of one arm and expelled from Jiguan Mountain."

Li Yuan's voice was not loud, but most people still heard it. Li Yuan looked at everyone calmly, forcing them to lower their heads in embarrassment.

Even Huo Xiuwen looked at Li Yuan in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to be able to do this.

"The captain will take his men to familiarize themselves with the situation. Two days later, I will lead Dong Da's team from the third squad and Jiu Lan's team from the fourth squad to go out for a trip."

After Li Yuan finished speaking, everyone was left looking at each other in bewilderment, having not yet adapted to this sudden change.

Huo Xiuwen sensed something was wrong and quickly caught up with Li Yuan.

"That... the boss." Huo Xiuwen quickly changed his words when he saw Li Yuan turning to look at him.

"What are you going to do with the two brothers?"

"I forgot to tell you that you had to go with me that day."

Li Yuan said to Huo Xiuwen, but Huo Xiuwen was confused, "Where are you going?"

"What am I going to do with you?"

"Hey! Boss..." He was still not used to calling others the boss.

"You'll know when you get there." Li Yuan didn't need him to reveal too much. He just said this and continued to walk to the top.

The person at the top of Jiguan Mountain was originally Huo Xiuwen, but now it is Wei Qiqi who lives there.

Now that Li Yuan had stepped onto the stairs, Huo Xiuwen subconsciously wanted to follow him. However, Li Yuan in front of him paused and turned around, looking at Huo Xiuwen's feet with gloomy eyes.

Huo Xiuwen froze in mid-air, not knowing where to move. He had no choice but to carefully put his foot down.

Seeing that he didn't take another step forward, Li Yuan turned around and left. Huo Xiuwen behind him was so angry that he dared not do anything.

He couldn't win the fight and his life and property were still in that man's hands. He comforted himself and quickly calmed down.

When Li Yuan arrived at the place, Wei Qiqi was pulling a hemp rope with Ye Yuanxin in the yard, intending to hang the washed clothes on the rope to dry.

He looked at the buckets at Wei Qiqi's feet. There were two wooden buckets. They were dripping with water, and it was obvious that they had been washed.

Looking at Wei Qiqi again, although he was pulling the rope with great enthusiasm, he couldn't hide the fatigue on his face.

Seeing Li Yuan coming, Wei Qiqi was about to ask him for help, but saw Li Yuan walking quickly towards her and lifting her hand to examine it carefully.

Wei Qiqi's hand was inexplicably grabbed, and she was not used to the distance. She couldn't help but struggled twice, but was unable to move at all.

Only then did she realize the disparity in power between her and Li Yuan.

Wei Qiqi's wrist was grabbed, and because she had just washed clothes, her wrist felt cold.

By the time it came to the five fingers of the palm, they were slightly blue and purple due to being blown by the wind, which looked particularly horrible on the fair and delicate skin.

"Did you go wash clothes?"

"Well, I went to your room and washed your two coats." Wei Qiqi thought he minded others touching his things, and explained: "Don't worry, I washed your clothes myself..."

"Qiniang!"

Li Yuan was furious.

He had never lost his temper in front of Wei Qiqi before, but he suddenly raised his voice with anger on his face, leaving her stunned for a moment.

"Do you know that you can't touch cold water? You can't do heavy work and you can't get sick? You don't take your old illness seriously?"

Li Yuan asked a series of questions, his eyes fixed on Wei Qiqi, wanting to know what his Qi Niang was trying to do.

"I... have nothing to do for now, so I thought I'd clean all these things up so I can live more comfortably in the future."

Wei Qiqi answered Li Yuan subconsciously. She still hasn't come to terms with the fact that Li Yuan was mad at her.

"I can do laundry and housework!"

Li Yuan grabbed Wei Qiqi's palm with his backhand, and the cold touch made his anger rise steadily.

The confusion and helplessness on Wei Qiqi's face hurt him and made his anger disappear in an instant.

She had already done it, there was no point in venting her emotions.

Then he signaled Ye Yuanxin to take out the hot water bottle.

He cupped both of his hands in his palms: "I'm sorry, Qi Niang."

"It's just that you do have an old illness. If it breaks out, I won't be able to find the best medicine or the best doctor for you."
