The corners of Li Yi's mouth twitched, unable to speak—did he want to tell her that he had been defeated by her so many times before because he deliberately released water? What's more, I really lost yesterday's failure, what else is there to say?

"Ling, are you going?" Gu Lei finally finished reading this thick book, closed the book, and raised her head. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I won't go, if Sister Gu goes, there will be no one to take care of Xiao Feizhen, I'll stay." Ling said with a wink.

"Okay...... Gu Lei, I've lost to you...... Go and go, and come with me to the General's Mansion to report the day after tomorrow. Li Yi pouted and said weakly. Pang Hu, you take care of the house, take care of Ling and Fei Zhen, and then ...... I have something to tell you. ”

immediately said the entrustment of the man in black.

"Ling, this matter will be handed over to you in the future, by the way, I will ask the opinions of those elf maids in the lower mansion, voluntarily, don't force it, if you are willing to learn, go and learn...... So, that's it......" Before Li Yi finished speaking, a young voice came from outside the door.

"Report! Xu Wen, a former Praetorian Guard recruit, begged to see the centurion! ”

Li Yi frowned and laughed: "Why is this guy here." Come on in! ”

Xu Wen walked into the room, dressed in coarse cloth, and his clean face was full of smiles.

"Your Excellency!" He hugged his fists and said, "I voluntarily quit the Praetorian Guard and follow the adults to the Heaven Slaying Army!" ”

"Okay, okay......" Li Yi waved his hand and motioned for Xu Wen to come and sit down, "It's not bad to have one more good helper. How's the ability to force practice? ”

After Xu Wen finished the "Freezing Point" operation, he returned to the Praetorian Guard, and early this morning, Li Yuan found General Meng of the Praetorian Guard and asked him for a subordinate.

Because Xu Wen had followed Li Yi for a period of time, and because he was brave and capable in this operation, General Meng recommended him to Li Yuan.

took off his military uniform, put on a coarse cloth coat, and brought a transfer certificate, Xu Wen found Li Yi.

"I've been able to control it completely, at least, after getting into that state, I won't go berserk!" Xu Wen replied happily, he was still very excited to be able to follow Li Yi into the legendary brave and good fighting Heaven Killing Army.

State? Rampage? The two words that Xu Wen inadvertently said from his mouth made Li Yi tremble violently, as if he had thought of something, but he was vaguely unpredictable.

Liu Chang on the side became interested, and said in his pleasant voice that didn't look like a big man at all: "Then, if you go to the southwest, count me as one." ”

Li Yi glanced at Liu Chang strangely, and thought to himself, "This guy, hasn't he been pestering Ling all the time?" Why do you want to go to the southwest with me at this time? Isn't it interested? But this half-blood elf bandit is a big problem! ”

Then he said, "What are you doing in the southwest?" Stay obediently. ”

Liu Chang raised his eyebrows and said awe-inspiringly: "I lost to you, so I swore to follow you, do you think the elves' oaths are all farts?" ”

"Then I don't want you to follow, okay?" Li Yi said angrily, "I'm not going to play, I'm going to suffer, you follow me, can you help me pour water for washing my feet?" ”

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "I don't want you to follow, you better hurry up and find your sister and brother-in-law......

Who knew that Liu Chang said angrily: "What do you think I am? Does it come and go when it is called? Since I said to follow you, then I will follow you! Don't try to get rid of me! ”

"Okay, okay, I've served you, I didn't want many people to follow me, since you want to go to the southwest to be abused so much, then it's up to you, prepare your things, and set off the day after tomorrow!" Li Yi couldn't convince Liu Chang, so he reluctantly agreed, "Don't make anything happen to me, we are going to the regular army this time, I don't want to throw people to the southwest!" ”

With that, he drove everyone away and hid in his room to clean up.

The next day, the reward from the military department was delivered.

Although the law of the new Qin is that mistakes must be punished, there are also rewards for merit, so while Li Yi was inexplicably punished to join the army, he was also rewarded for his good results.

The reward was placed on a plate made of mahogany, covered with a red cloth, and sent to Li Yi's house.

Inside is a letter of appointment and an iron plaque engraved with a raised cross.

Li Yi was dumbfounded when he lifted the red cloth and saw it, feeling that he led people to get rid of the robbers of more than 100 numbers and exchanged them for the rank of "Captain of Ten"?

Li Yi felt that his heart was broken into several pieces, and he burst into tears.

I've ever had the power of a centurion! Now it's just a little ten-master, how can I be embarrassed!

Li Yi didn't know that Xin Qin's military exploits were accumulated very slowly, and often a person wanted to be promoted from an ordinary soldier to a ten-division commander, which was impossible without three or five years, if it weren't for his royal status, and the results of this operation were really good, even if Li Yi retired from the army, it would be impossible for him to mix into the position of the ten-division commander.

Li Yi, who kept slandering, took the sign and the letter of appointment, and he didn't even have the mind to reward others, and returned to his room in a gloomy manner.

Time passed in a flash, and soon it was the day when Li Yi went to the General's Mansion to report to the heavens.

Li Yi took Gu Lei and the three of them, and the luggage of a carriage, and came to the house of praying for heaven early in the morning.

"What? General Qi has something to go out? Li Yi listened to the explanation of the doorman in the general's mansion and widened his eyes, "Let's go by ourselves?" ”

"Yes, that's what the master asked me to tell you, by the way, the third prince also told me about it, so you don't have to say goodbye to him." The doorman said.

"Okay...... All right...... These two unscrupulous old things......" Li Yi muttered, thanked the doorman, turned around and left.

The garrison of the Heaven Killer Army was located outside Lianyu City in the southwest of Xinqin, and it took three days to ride a horse from the new city.

And Li Yi and the others still have a whole carriage of luggage, and the speed will not be much faster.

Li Yi and the four of them each rode their horses, went out of the city, and began to move in the direction of Lianyu City in the southwest along the official road.

All the people in the Emperor's Mansion ran to the city gate to see them off, and the pear blossoms of the elf maids crying with rain kissed Li Yi's face one after another, and Gu Lei, who saw it, had a nameless fire burning from the bottom of her heart.

Dead fatty, you're going to die along the way! Gu Lei gritted her teeth angrily, clenched her little fists, and said in her heart.

Li Yi is really good to these elf maids on weekdays, although they are said to be maids, but Li Yi usually doesn't care much about them, except that he can't stay at night, as long as one is left in the house to deal with things during the day, others can go out to play at will during the day, and Li Yi also sent the guards in the house to protect them along the road.

Whose elf slaves have such good treatment?

Before being asked by Li Yi to come, their lives in the palace were indescribable, and how else could they describe the lives of slaves? At least they are indescribable.

After they were kidnapped by King Qin from the west of the mainland, they had no peaceful birthdays, and Li Yi treated them like this now, which made them have the idea of being lucky for three lives.

Sansheng is fortunate to have such a good master.

So when Li Yi left the new city and went to Lianyucheng to report, they cried so much, and they "rubbed oil" on Li Yi one by one.

At least, in Gu Lei's eyesight, their behavior is "rubbing oil".

After hugging and saying goodbye to friends, Li Yi and his party rode out of the new city.

The autumn morning sun sprinkled on their shoulders, quite a little warm, Li Yi tossed on horseback, and looked at his companions behind him from time to time - Li Yi didn't know how long it would take to see them again, three years? Or five years? There is no family leave rule in Xinqin's army, and Li Yi only hopes that when he returns, he can still see the smiles on the faces of his partners.

He remembered the words from a book he had read.

"Thankfully, his smile hasn't changed."

I hope that when they come back, their smiles haven't changed!

Immediately, Li Yi no longer sighed, shook the reins, and sped up.

It's still a small study, a desk, a bookcase, a door, a window.

There was still a small oil lamp lit on the desk, burning quietly.

A dark figure came to the desk and knelt down on one knee.

"Lord, they have left the new city!"

The goatee peeked out from behind the lamp, expressionless.

"Send a detachment of men and horses, and follow them closely, waiting for an opportunity to take them.

"Get rid of it!" Goatee said grimly.

"Yes!" The dark shadow took the command.

"Look how you hide this time!" The goatee squinted and smiled.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, two cloaked figures came to the front of Wang Lu's shop.

Wang Convex is a middle-aged man in his forties, honest and dutiful, he opened a small restaurant in the town, because the town is not big, only he has such a restaurant, and the price of wine and food is fair and affordable, so the merchants who come and go like to sit in his restaurant, eat a meal and drink a wine or something.

The town, called Mopan, was originally a small village, but due to its proximity to the quarries in the central mountains of the New Qin, an official road was built next to the village, and the small village gradually developed and then transformed into a small town, driven by merchants who traveled back and forth to buy stones.

The most prosperous business in Mopan Town is not the small restaurant opened by Wang Conveguity, but the jade shops.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft, Mopan Town is close to the central mountain range, the jade in the mountains is constantly mined, and under the leadership of the villagers who went into the mountains to mine and the first to taste the sweetness of jade trading, everyone in the village embarked on the road of doing business.

Just imagine, in the case of being one or two percent cheaper than the official of Xinqin, will there be fewer businessmen who flock to it?

So much so that even if the new Qin later increased the proportion of taxes levied by the jade exchange, the aborigines here were still happy to do their own small business - after all, no matter how much the new Qin raised the tax, it was always more cost-effective to do this kind of business than to farm the land honestly.

And these two people who came to the door of Wang Tou's shop, obviously could not attract Wang Zhuo's attention, the merchants who came and went came and went, came and went, changed batch after batch, every year there are new people who come here to do business, and every year there are old people who fail after losing money, and they have never appeared in Mopan Town again.

Wang convex held his increasingly bulging belly and counted the accounts behind the counter. The only restaurant he opened in the town made his pockets bulge all of a sudden, although the price of the things in the store was fair and affordable, and everything didn't make a lot of money, but after all, the flow of people in this town was really sufficient, and Wang Luo still understood the truth of ants biting elephants to death, so gradually, while puffing up his wallet, he also earned enough reputation in the town.

The two figures outside the door paused for a moment before walking into the shop.

Wang Lukekai's restaurant does not have a name, first, the level of education is low, I can't think of it, and secondly, there is a restaurant in the town, and there is no need to give any attractive name, if you insist on adding a name, a code name, then the people in the town will often tell you: "Want to find a place to eat?" Go to Wang Lu's house, Wang Lu's restaurant is just west of town. ”

Sometimes the fame is so great that even people you don't know will advertise for you.

Wang Luo saw the two figures walking into the door of the store, hurriedly trotted out from behind the counter, and said to the two of them: "Guest officer, please, is it a tip or a store?" ”

The two put down the hood of their cloaks, and Wang Luo saw the faces of these two people.

A sword eyebrow and starry eyes, a towering nose bridge, red lips and white teeth, is a rare beautiful man! And the other, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, flew diagonally into the sideburns, and the long sideburns hung straight down to the shoulders, revealing a wild aura throughout the person.

It is Li Yuan and Qitian!

Li Yuan didn't go to see him off on the day Li Yi set off for the Heaven Killer Army's garrison, and Qi Tian was absent at the same time that day, but he didn't expect that the two of them would run so close to the central mountain range together.

It was time to eat, and the restaurant was full of people who came to eat, and under the leadership of Wang Convex, the two of them came to a seat in the back kitchen of the store and sat down.

"Shop, feel free to order some wine and food, just take care of your fill." Qitian said.

"Okay!" Wang Luo didn't talk nonsense, ran into the back kitchen, came out again after a while, and as soon as he gave up his hand to the two of them, he turned back to the counter.

"Qitian, it's been half a month, what are you pulling me here for?" Li Yuan asked puzzled.

"Take you up the hill and find something." Qitian said lightly.

"Just for this? Can't you delay your departure a day later? Li Yuan pinched his sideburns a little angrily, "My son is going to report to the Heavenly Army, and I, the father, said I would send him, but I was pulled here by you so much!" It turned out to be just a matter of looking for something......"

"This thing can only be found during this time, and if it is too late, it will be robbed." Qi Tian still said lightly, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Li Yuan and himself, and took a sip first, "Well, the autumn mountain stream cloud tea tastes really bitter...... Don't you want to try it? ”

"Okay, okay! I should give up my life to accompany the gentleman! Li Yuan changed his slow appearance in front of Li Yi in the past, picked up the teacup and drank it all, "I'm bah!" What a broken tea! ”

Qitian glanced at him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's She'er, not life." ”

"Okay, okay! Whatever you say, there's nothing to do in the new city anyway, and it's almost stuffy birds, just come out to breathe! Li Yuan waved his hand to show that he didn't mind, and poured himself another cup of tea, "What kind of broken tea is this, it doesn't taste sweet at all!" Pray God, I can tell you, if my son suffers with you, I will not spare you! ”
