I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"Xiaobei, don't worry. Miss Fang and I will take care of the children." Zhao Yan said.

"Po Huang and I went to dig the ground and plant vegetables. I did this with my grandfather when I was a child, so I am very familiar with it..." Jiaojiao said as she shook the simple tools that Po Huang had just sharpened.

"Can this dig the ground?" Ji Xiaobei smiled. It was just a wooden fork that was quite sharp for digging the ground.

"Mrs. Huang said it might be possible..." Jiaojiao poked the ground with a smile.

"I'm going out to find some handy tools today and bring them back in the evening!" After Ji Xiaobei said that, she changed into the men's clothes that Zhao Yan brought her and turned to leave.

Zhao Yan asked her to bring Lang Ning with her because it was too dangerous outside.

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "I will be the head of the militia, and I won't have to charge in the front, so don't worry! Zhao Yan, Lang Ning will be here to protect everyone's safety. He has martial arts skills and is very sensitive to danger. Only when he is here can I stay outside with peace of mind..."

Zhao Yan whispered: "I understand, Miss Ji..."

Ji Xiaobei saw a hint of embarrassment flash across her face.

"Zhao Yan, Lang Ning is sincere to you, and he didn't take the initiative to look for you here. Why do you have to chase him away?" Ji Xiaobei saw through Zhao Yan's thoughts.

"I, I, it's impossible for him and I to be together... I can't let him get trapped any further, it won't be good for anyone..." Zhao Yan said with her head down and a blushing face.

"If you change into cloth clothes, like you are now, no one can tell that you are the former princess. No one can recognize you. I have asked the eunuch to handle your affairs. Everyone knows that Princess Qing is dead...

You have nothing to do with Princess Qing now. The court is in turmoil now, and everyone's energy is focused on state affairs. Who would still remember a dead Princess Qing? It's because you haven't gotten over the hurdle in your heart..."

Zhao Yan's eyes were filled with tears, and Ji Xiaobei didn't say anything else.

Ever since Zhao Yan returned the jade pendant to Lang Ning, Lang Ning has been deliberately avoiding Zhao Yan.

Since then, the two have not spoken a word to each other.

After leaving the cave, she found Lang Ning again and gave him some instructions, asking him to be careful.

The wild beasts in Boling Mountain are not scary. What is scary are the bandits or the roaming western barbarians. They are the scariest.

Lang Ning took Lian Feng and several strong servants of the Zhang family to patrol the surroundings.

Ji Xiaobei left Boling Mountain and didn't see many pedestrians in Ye County along the way. Everyone went to the south city for refuge. There were two wells in the south city, so there was no shortage of drinking water.

She went straight to South City to find Liang Yuhui.

A militia group of more than 200 people has been standing neatly in the open space in the south city.

Liang Yuhui said a few words and saw a white horse galloping in the distance. The person on the horse was dressed in gray. The wind blew up the corners of her robe, making her look even more majestic and domineering.

Finally she came.

Liang Yuhui had long known that Ji Xiaobei was a man of his words, and he came as expected.

More than two hundred pairs of eyes looked at the person who came.

Ji Xiaobei jumped off the little white horse and stood in front of County Magistrate Liang. He clasped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, County Magistrate Liang, Ji Xiaobei is late!"

"Now that the formation is complete, we'll hand it over to Master Ji!"

Ji Xiaobei came, but Liang Yuhui had other things to do, so he left after saying that.

Ji Xiaobei watched County Magistrate Liang leave.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the crowd of men.

Most people looked at Ji Xiaobei with curiosity.

The militia leader that County Magistrate Liang had been looking for for several days was him, a very unfamiliar man.

Most of them are from Ye County, and even if you don’t know them, you will feel that they look familiar.

But no one knows the person in front of him.

Ji Xiaobei glanced at them, cleared his throat and gave a brief self-introduction. His tone and expression seemed to show that he didn't take the men below seriously.

When the men heard that Ji Xiaobei was not from Ye County, they were all surprised.

Didn’t Magistrate Liang say that it would be best to have people from Ye County?

How?

Ji Xiaobei had already seen the doubt in the men's eyes.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "I know what you are wondering about. County Magistrate Liang said that people from Ye County should be given priority, so why did he choose a foreigner like me in the end?"

Being hit on the point, the few people in the front lowered their heads to avoid Ji Xiaobei's scrutinizing gaze.

"Humph! Yes, does Magistrate Liang not keep his word?" The burly man as black bear standing in the last row sneered.

"Don't you want answers?" Ji Xiaobei climbed onto a large rock and looked down at them.

"That's because none of you are qualified to be the head of a corps. First of all, your military strength is not enough..."

As soon as Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.

The men's eyes widened. This fair-skinned man in front of them could speak so arrogantly.

Ji Xiaobei pulled out a knife from behind and held it in his hand.

"If anyone doesn't agree, come and compete with me!" As she said this, she got down from the rock and exerted a little force with her back leg. There was a clicking sound and she looked back, feeling a little embarrassed.

Damn it, the new official has three things to do upon taking office, but before he can even start burning, he has already crushed the stones under his feet.

When she turned around, she saw the men staring at her with wide eyes.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "This stone is not solid. I didn't mean to do that!"

The men were even more incredulous, looking at Ji Xiaobei as if he were a foreign object, wondering how could the stone not be solid? They had been training here for the past two days, using this stone to build up their strength.

Only A Zhuang can roll it.

There is not a single crack in the stone.

"Come on, who's going first?" Ji Xiaobei rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair and tender skin, and she quickly put them down.

You still can't show your arms, as it might arouse suspicion.

"I'll do it!" The man at the back who looked like a black bear came out.

It is black and strong, even stronger than a black bear.

The two big feet touched the ground and the ground seemed to be shaking.

Ji Xiaobei: The black bear demon is coming!

She couldn't shoot, and she couldn't retreat.

The more powerful someone appears to be, the more likely he is to be a paper tiger. She really hopes that the black bear demon is a paper tiger, otherwise her bones would be broken if she was kicked by his big feet.

Ji Xiaobei waved the knife in his hand at him and asked, "You don't need a knife?"

The black bear demon raised his lips covered with thick black hair and sneered, "I don't need it. Originally, the position of the leader belonged to me, and the 50 taels of silver also belonged to me. How come you, a pretty boy, snatched them away? I think County Magistrate Liang's eyes are not very useful..."

A few people in the last row started laughing.
