Chapter 17: Departure

Then he looked at Zhou An's eight people with a worried look.

When Li Yue left, Uncle Seven's originally smiling face suddenly froze, and suddenly became a murderous look.

"You guys, in my eyes right now, are at best street thugs, not real fighters, and in the next month, I will train you to be qualified fighters."

Uncle Seven said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Zhou An and the others were also very respectful and nodded hurriedly.

"Very well, I like your attitude, but I'm telling you now, you don't have names, only numbers here."

Uncle Seven continued with a sneer.

"Uncle Seven, then what are we calling now?"

Zhou An asked puzzled.

"Seeing that you look very loyal and honest, then you can call No. 1!"

The seventh uncle was very casual, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Wu Yue and Qi Tong.

"Got it, Uncle Seven, you will call me No. 1 in the future, and my name will be No. 1 now."

Zhou An said very respectfully.

"Very well, sort number two, number three, number four, you remember your number, I will call your number in the future."

Uncle Seven didn't have any expression on his face, and immediately began to strengthen the training of several people after finishing speaking.

Back in the house, Li Yue found Yue'er and took her to the back kitchen in person.

"Yue'er, after a while, I will leave the house, and you will be responsible for their food and housing, especially in terms of food, there can be no deduction, and the meat for a day must be enough."

While Li Yue spoke, he took Yue'er into the kitchen, and at this time, the back kitchen was preparing dinner in full swing.

"Got it, young master, but these people eat so well, if they train like this today, will they make others jealous?"

Yue'er frowned and whispered.

Hearing these words, Li Yue has always heard of it.

After all, the house slaves he bought didn't do any work at all, but just trained all day and night, and ate the same as their masters, which made many of his subordinates very opinionated.

"Don't pay attention to them, these people, they will die for me in the future, if you don't train them well, will there be danger when the time comes, can those who chew the root of the tongue go forward?"

Li Yue said with a sneer.

"But...... But the people below are saying that you paid for some waste. ”

Yue'er said with some embarrassment.

"Just let them chew their tongues, leave them alone, and call the person in charge of the kitchen to me."

Li Yue said very solemnly.

After Yue'er listened, she immediately called a middle-aged man in his 40s with a fat head and big ears in front of her.

"Young Master, what do you command?"

The middle-aged man asked very reservedly.

"My newly trained eight house slaves, they will be my personal bodyguards in the future, I hope you can take care of some food in terms of food, of course, the cost will not be less than yours."

As Li Yue spoke, he took out a silver ingot of five taels and gave it directly to the middle-aged man, and then left the kitchen.

The middle-aged man who got the silver ingots was immediately stunned on the spot, which was almost equivalent to his salary for one year.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yue arranged for more than a dozen famous people to accompany her and left Huai'an City.

As soon as he left the city, Li Yue immediately divided the family into three ways.

One way, the three of them rode fast horses and took the lead to do everything, while the other four followed him slowly behind.

And the last way is not far from them, following behind, to ensure the safety of several people.

"Young Master, will we travel lightly and simply attract the attention of those rogues and bandits?"

The person who spoke was about 20 years old, in good health, and appeared to be very lean.

"Gao Wu, you are too careful, although there are a lot of rogues now, but we are taking a relatively safe official road, I believe there are no bandits in this area."

Li Yue was very determined, and he was still looking at the scenery all the way.

I originally thought that the forests of the Ming Dynasty were beautiful, but I didn't expect them to be bare, and I rarely saw patches of woods.

"Young master, we have walked for nearly three days, and I believe it won't take long to reach Wuchang."

Gao Wu held the map in his hand and said with a sigh.

"Yes! Before I knew it, I had been away from home for three days, and after going to Wuchang, I went directly along the river all the way to the west, and I wanted to see how crazy the bandits were. ”

Li Yue said excitedly.

"Young master, let's go all the way to the west, it is definitely a dangerous thing, the old lady also explained when he left, we must protect your safety, it will be dangerous to change the route."

Gao Wu said with a sad face.

"What are you afraid of, we have to go to such a place, only if the people there are hungry and poor, then we can find suitable candidates."

Li Yue said disdainfully.

"But it's just a few of us, and it's a matter of safety going there."

Gao Wu looked at Li Yue worriedly.

At the same time, several people had already arrived at a small river.

"Don't worry, there is a solution to everything, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, only in the place of turmoil, there will be strong people."

Li Yue smiled indifferently.

In his opinion, only by going west can he get better troops, especially the place where Dakou Li Zicheng raised his troops.

"Young master, if you insist like this, then I must write a letter to the old lady, otherwise no matter if something happens or not, I will definitely be punished when I go back."

Gao Wu was very cautious, and while speaking, he followed Li Yue off his horse and came to the riverside.

At this moment, on the official road where several people were walking, they were greeted by more than a dozen people in ragged clothes with yellow faces and thin muscles.

These people looked like they had fled the wilderness.

Faced with the clear water, Li Yue did not have any resistance.

At this time, it was the heat of June, Li Yue took off his shirt and poured water on his body, looking very comfortable.

"Young master, it's bad, there are hooligans, I don't know if they are bandits, let's run quickly, see that there are no less than dozens of them."

Gao Wu looked nervously at the homeless people walking towards them, holding the saber tightly in his hand, and even taking out the other firearms on his body, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

"Why are you so nervous, don't you see that these people are all young children? Looking at them, they don't look like villains. ”

Li Yue smiled indifferently, and walked forward after tidying up his clothes.

At this time, a young man with a yellow face and thin muscles at the head straightened his clothes and boldly stepped forward.

looked at Li Yue, standing in place with some hesitation, motionless.

"Where are you from, and why are you so embarrassed?"

Li Yue looked at the young man in front of him indifferently.

"Lord Huiguancha, we fled from Huangzhou, where there is already a lot of mourning, and we have no other way but to escape and seek a way to live."

The young man saw that Li Yue and the others were dressed very decently, and everyone was tall and big.
