Li Yuanji has a strong interest in this nimble and scheming boy.

is different from the feeling that Ma Zhou and Su Dingfang will become talented in the future, and in the dark, I feel that this kid will be extraordinary in the future.

"Your Highness, this kid has committed seventeen crimes in the north of the town in the past few months, stealing more than 20 pieces of money, and even ......" The government soldiers hesitated.

Knowing Li Yuanji's identity, he had automatically ignored some questions, but instead talked about this kid's past crimes.

"Or even what?" Li Yuanji looked at the kid and asked casually.

"I even pulled in front of the yamen, and if I dared to arrest him, I would definitely tear down the gate of the yamen......" The government soldier said with difficulty, his face full of embarrassment.

Shame, so many people can't catch such a bastard boy, they don't even know what it's called, and they are threatened by him like this, the face of the entire Zhenbei Thousand Guards Mansion soldiers has been lost, which is why he refused Ma Wu before, if this kid is not dealt with by Zhenbei Mansion, where will they put their faces in the future?

Listening to Fu Bing's explanation, Li Yuanji did not have a trace of anger in his heart, but instead gave birth to a feeling of relief.

But this kid can commit seventeen crimes in a few months, and it seems that he has already developed a habit, and he must not use ordinary means to deal with this kind of person.

"With such good skills, why not do something? Why do you have to go astray? With a regretful expression on his face, he continued to threaten: "The laws of Qi are serious, and there have been seventeen cases in a row within a few months, do you know what kind of punishment you will face next?" ”

The young man pursed his lips, glanced at his brows, and said indifferently: "If you want to kill, you can kill it, anyway, I will admit it if I am arrested." ”

"Boy, are you still hard-mouthed when you die? I don't think you know how beautiful it is to be alive, do you? Ma Wu's subordinates slammed into force and threatened fiercely.

The boy was in pain, but he grinned slightly, and never screamed.

Ma Wu, who has followed Li Yuanji's side for many years, although he has only been promoted to a personal guard in recent months, has a very thorough understanding of Li Yuanji's character.

It's just that this kid doesn't seem to appreciate it very much.

"What about your family?" Li Yuanji asked.

"If I have family, why should I steal it?" The young man seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, struggled in his heart, and said.

"In that case, this king will discipline you well for your family who don't know where you have gone." Li Yuanji smiled slightly, said ambiguously, and looked at the soldiers: "From now on, he is the slave of this king, and the cases he committed before, how many losses have been caused, make a count after he goes back, and then go to this king to withdraw money and compensate the owner." ”

"No!" The soldiers didn't dare to say more, and nodded their heads again and again.

Being beaten as a slave may be the best result for this kid, in his case, if he stays outside, he will be beaten to death sooner or later, although he has no freedom, but fortunately, he doesn't have to go to the pit to be abducted and stolen, and he can live a peaceful life.

Moreover, it is not necessarily bad to follow the King of Qi, what happened to the slave? Song Zhong, Yu Ren, and Chunhua Although they are eunuchs, they are also slaves, and there are many slaves in the Qi Palace, which one of them is not better than the people outside?

"What's your name?" Li Yuanji looked at the young man again, with some faint expectation in his heart.

The boy shook his head, seemingly unfamiliar with the name: "No name." ”

"Then call you Zhenbei, I hope that when I see you again in a few months, I can bring some surprises to this king!" Li Yuanji said pointedly, and immediately said to Ma Wu: "Send him to the old gun, and tell the old gun, even if you have any means, it doesn't matter if you die." ”

"No!" Ma Wu answered, and continued to carry the north of the town towards the outside of the city.

From beginning to end, the expression on Zhenbei's face was very calm, and only when he mentioned his family, he would show a trace of entanglement.

Life and death seemed to be no stranger to him, and there was nothing to fear.

……

The mountainous area in the west of Zhenbei is about 100 miles away from Zhenbei City, with continuous mountains and abundant vegetation, and there are not many border people who are subject to the Tang Dynasty, so there are many wild animals here.

Here, the old gun used as a training camp, the surrounding silence and no one around, even the Orion is difficult to enter.

Every month, they had to walk to the camp on the north side of the town to carry ten days' worth of dry food, or some meat.

Then, that's a month's worth of food.

The cold wind was blowing, and people couldn't help but want to squat by the Gong fire to keep warm, and more than 100 young men were lying on the ground shirtless, holding their hands and sitting with the simplest movements.

Although the action is simple, if it takes a long time, it is enough to make people want to die, and it is difficult for an individual to bear to hold on for an hour.

The cold, hunger, and soreness in their arms made many people want to give up, but in the end they persevered.

"If you can't hold on, you don't have to insist, you can stand up now, go to the house over there to take a hot bath, and then have a beautiful meal, drink a pot of tea, and ride a horse when you go, and you have persevered here for so long, and you will inevitably be valued by other generals when you go back, you can imagine how beautiful your life will be in the future." Why should you suffer this sin here for the sake of such treatment? "A shed on three sides, shielding from the cold wind in three directions, a small coal stove in front of him, with boiling water on it, and the old gun drinking tea while pulling hatred, the posture of the landlord bully is very standard.

The old gun's words were good, but the response to him was not responding.

No one wants to just leave what they have been able to do until now.

The old gun suddenly frowned, and his face was a little displeased.

At the gate of the camp, Ma Wuzheng walked towards him with a child in his hand, this kind of thing has never happened, but since it has appeared, he must have to make a decision against his own will.

"King Qi promised me that everything here is up to me." The old gun didn't like it in his heart and said coldly.

"This kid is good, King Qi thinks it's a piece of material, so he sent it to you to entertain him instead, he is King Qi's person, and he doesn't belong to your military camp." Ma Wu also said without a good face, the old gun ability is there, but he is too cold, so that many people are unwilling to have anything to do with him, if there is no way, Ma Wu is not willing to come to this trip.

"Oh, by the way, Your Highness asked me to tell you, even if you have any means, it doesn't matter if you die." Ma Wu followed up with a sentence, then left the north of the town and turned around and left, not wanting to stay here for a moment.

Looking at the back of Ma Wu leaving, the old gun was a little helpless, looking at the little guy who had obviously not grown up, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "Do you know where this is?" ”

"You know, I've been here many times before, and there's a lot of game here!" Zhenbei nodded, there was no place around him that he was not familiar with, there were old places everywhere, and it was not until the construction of Zhenbei City that he settled down near Zhenbei.

The old gun grinned, Lao Tzu, this is a scout training camp, you actually said that there is a lot of game here? Could it be that these people here are all wild meat in your eyes?

"Why did King Qi send you here?"

"I beat King Qi, but I didn't hit it, so that's it." The north of the town responded unabashedly.

"What? You beat the King of Qi? The old gun couldn't help but be stunned, and his heart was extremely shocked, this kid dared to beat King Qi?

"That's right, I'm going to run, he grabbed me and didn't let me run, of course I was going to beat him, which means that I'm still young now, and the strength on my body is not big enough, otherwise King Qi may not be able to beat me." Zhenbei said with some unwillingness on his face.

"If you don't blow it, you can die?" The old gun has already guessed something, but for the north of this town, the old gun is not very optimistic.

Who doesn't know King Qi's skills? It's really desperate to fight, even the first general of Datang, Chi Jingde, may not be his opponent, not to mention the first in Datang, at least the top three can't run away, your little guy who hasn't grown a dime dares to say such a big thing? I really don't know how thick the sky is.

"If you come, you will be safe, I hope you can stay here for a longer time, of course, if you really can't hold on, you can also quit early, I will have someone send you back to King Qi, if you want to run, you can do it, but I want to remind you, don't be caught, otherwise the consequences will be very miserable." Since he was powerless to change, the old gun decided to increase his efforts and let this hairy boy who bragged about not playing drafts quit by himself as soon as possible, and then, clapping his hands, he said to the more than 100 soldiers who were supporting: "Today we have a newcomer, this is a great joy, so I decided to celebrate, all the training items today, all doubled......"

Looking at the people below who wanted to scold but didn't dare, so they could only hold back, the old gun felt very useful.

He said no, but his body was honest, the old gun was such a type, and since he entered this camp, that feeling has returned.

……

The mood in Zhenbei City was a little depressed, and without turning around, Li Yuanji rode his horse directly back to the camp.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the test of himself has just begun, and Li Yuanji is at a loss for many things.

On the one hand, they helped those families who were not well prepared to build houses, helped the lonely and widowed elderly to chop firewood and stockpile, and at the same time explained that the village was going to walk in the village frequently, and if there was any problem, everyone should help solve it, and if it really didn't work, they would report it.

All the preparations are to survive this difficult winter, but the long winter has not yet arrived, which has cast a shadow of fear on the hearts of many people.

"Your Highness, there is a messenger outside the camp asking to see you!"
