After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

Li Yanqi sat up and held the girl in his arms. He rubbed the girl's red forehead and said, "There are more than 700 soldiers in the patrol camp now. I want to divide them into two teams first, so that they can take turns to escort the caravan. What do you think?"

Lin Yanyu was stunned, took the big hand off her forehead, turned around and looked at him with watery eyes: "This way everyone can have some time to rest, but I don't know who you want to lead the team?"

"The two Hu brothers and the little ghost Ermu."

Lin Yanyu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "They are quite suitable. Needless to say, Xigui Ermu is a good fighter. Hu Ruiqi is also quite skilled. Although Hu Ruilin looks weak, I think he should be no worse than his brother."

Li Yanqi's eyes flashed, somewhat surprised at her sharpness.

"how do you know?"

"You told me at the beginning that Magistrate Hu's two sons were both talented in literature and martial arts. Since the elder brother was so skilled, how could the younger brother not have some martial arts skills?"

After that, Lin Yanyu frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "I just don't know why his two brothers came to Yunlong County and joined our patrol camp?"

Li Yanqi sneered, "Do you think they want to?"

Lin Yanyu looked at Li Yanqi, waiting for his next words.

"The leader of the rebels who killed Magistrate Hu and his family is Han Guang, Maozhou's current second-in-command. And Magistrate Hu's death was not the work of Han Guang alone. Maozhou Jiedushi Liu Ping joined forces with the rebels to establish his own regime, and Magistrate Hu was the first to oppose it."

Lin Yanyu's eyes widened as she asked nervously, "Are Liu Ping and Han Guang chasing them in secret?"

Li Yanqi shook his head and sneered, "Secretly? The nearby prefecture received a wanted order from Maozhou a few days ago. Brother Hu Ruiqi should be thankful that they didn't go looking for Qian Sanwen. Otherwise, humph, they would have lost more than just an arm."

Lin Yanyu sat up in Li Yanqi's arms, nervously grasped his arm, and asked repeatedly: "Then, will the people from Maozhou find us? What if we are discovered!"

Li Yanqi saw that her face had turned pale with nervousness, and pinched her soft cheeks soothingly.

"Don't worry, Maozhou can't reach that far yet. Even if it really reaches our Yunlong County, our patrol camp only has Gu Yueqi and Gu Yuelin."

Lin Yanyu immediately realized that the two brothers had come to the patrol camp under aliases, and she felt relieved.

She thought for a moment and said, "Since we have formed teams, let's assign the duties of everyone in the patrol camp. Brother Xigui Ermu and brother Hu Ruiqi will be in charge of the first and second teams respectively. Zhuang Xingbai will be in charge of the internal affairs department and the accounts. I will be responsible for the monthly account verification."

Li Yanqi deliberately teased her: "Then what should I do?"

Lin Yanyu rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "You do nothing but go to the patrol camp to eat wind every day."

Li Yanqi chuckled and held the person in his arms.

"Okay, okay, I'll let you drink the wind. I'll leave the daily training ground duties to my dear wife."

Lin Yanyu was too lazy to pay attention to him. She rolled to the inside of the bed and pulled the quilt over her.

"I'm going to sleep. Don't you still have to go to the patrol camp? Let's go."

"Tsk, you are such a heartless person!"

Li Yanqi was so angry that he leaned over the girl's face and bit her soft cheek before getting up, dressing himself and leaving.

The next day, due to the reorganization of the patrol camp personnel, Zhuang Xingbai had to go to the barracks to rewrite the list. Lin Yanyu took Chen Ermu back to the relief hall and resumed their old business.

The merchant escort team had been working non-stop for the past two days. They returned to the barracks at almost midnight, and were dragged into a half-hour meeting by Li Yanqi. They were now soundly sleeping.

Ma Xigui led the soldiers who did not go to Qingshan County and continued to build the wall in full swing.

At this time, the person who was the most idle in the entire patrol camp was Li Yanqi.

Because Mr. Wang's caravan escaped robbery twice without any harm, the wealthy businessmen valued Li Yanqi more and more.

After all, the person who could allow them to do business safely in troubled times was like the God of Wealth, so they set up a plan and invited Li Yanqi.

Li Yanqi didn't want to go at first. He thought it would be better to listen to his wife scolding him than to listen to these big-bellied old men talking about business.

Lin Yanyu said, "There will definitely be more and more people in the patrol camp in the future. For the sake of your wallet, let's go through the motions."

In the largest private room of Yingkeju, there are bells, drums, jade, and delicious food.

Mr. Wang stood up with his glass in hand, and said with a rosy face, "I was able to deliver the goods to Qingshan County safely this time, all thanks to the great support of County Lieutenant Li! I toast to you, Mr. Wang!"

Li Yanqi nodded slightly to the rich man Wang, raised his head indifferently, and drank the wine in the glass.

"Li County Lieutenant has a good alcohol tolerance!"

Mr. Wang winked at the maidservant beside him and said, "Hurry up and fill up Lieutenant Li's glass."

Compared with a group of wealthy businessmen with big bellies, Li Yanqi's appearance really stands out.

He had long, thick black eyebrows, his eyes were dark and expressive as they moved indifferently, his nose was straight, and his thin lips had a clear tinge of wine.

He was bored and looked daydreaming.

The beautiful maid blushed, holding a white porcelain wine jug, she walked forward with her head lowered, and said in a gentle and affectionate voice: "Sir, County Lieutenant..."

She was shy and just about to lean over to pour the wine when a slender hand took away the empty glass.

"Put down the wine jug. Did you step on some cow dung? Don't come near me if you have nothing to do. I'm feeling dizzy from the fumes."

Li Yanqi took the wine pot by pinching the spout, pinching his nose with his hand, and waved it in the air.

The beautiful maid's face turned red and white, and she looked at her neat embroidered shoes with suspicion. She looked like she was about to cry, and she looked at the rich man Wang for help.

"How can you not even serve others? Get down now!"

Mr. Wang dismissed the maid, turned his round face to Li Yanqi, and said with a smile: "Li County Lieutenant, my next batch of goods will be on the 28th of the first lunar month. Old Wang, I will have to rely on you a lot."

"Old Wang, you are being rude. The 28th day of the first lunar month is still more than half a month away. Isn't it too early for you to say that now?"

The fat black man who was speaking was Mr. Song, the largest cloth merchant in Yunlong Town.

He picked up the wine glass, stood up, and said to Li Yanqi: "The cloth I will send to the provincial capital tomorrow will depend on you, the county lieutenant. And the batch of goods that will be delivered to Zi County, Bingzhou on the 29th of the first lunar month..."

"Wait a minute, Chongzhou Prefecture is OK, but Bingzhou is not."

Li Yanqi tilted his head slightly, poured himself a glass, and shook the glass at Boss Song.

"This... I negotiated this deal before the New Year. If I can't deliver it on time, I will have to pay Boss Liu of Bingzhou three thousand five hundred taels."

Boss Song frowned and pleaded, "Sir, please help me this time, County Lieutenant."

Li Yanqi stroked the wine glass with his fingertips, looked at the rippling wine in it, and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you. Bingzhou Zi County is 500 miles away from our Yunlong County. Even if the brothers of the patrol camp are fast, it will take ten days to go back and forth. In ten days, I can go to Qingshan County, the provincial capital, five times."
