Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

When Wei Qiqi woke up, it was already bright outside.

She suddenly remembered that Li Yuan was leaving in the early morning, and she hurriedly stood up, but belatedly stopped putting on her clothes.

Li Yuan should have left for a long time by now, and she would not be able to see him off in time.

Thinking of this, she sat on the bed in a daze for a long time.

She thought about the promise she made to Li Yuan yesterday, about Li Yuan's intimate behavior towards her, and also about... someone touching her face while she was half asleep.

Li Yuan didn't give her any way out.

If she took a step back, he would take ten steps forward. She made concessions for the sake of their relationship, and Li Yuan assumed that she would agree.

Tsk.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but cover my face with my hands.

She walked into the trap set by Li Yuan, and if she couldn't leave, she could only think about it.

After considering it, there was only one possible outcome: she would definitely be with Li Yuan.

Wei Qiqi still felt a little uncomfortable with the thought of being with Li Yuan. She could no longer treat Li Yuan as a child. After Li Yuan expressed his love for her, she didn't even realize that the way she addressed Li Yuan had changed.

She hasn't called Li Yuan "Xiaobao" many times in almost a year.

Treating Li Yuan as a man does not mean that she can adapt to being with Li Yuan. He is a child she has watched grow up.

Forget it.

Wei Qiqi didn't want to make things difficult for herself, so she just let everything take its course.

She has always taken a laissez-faire attitude towards relationships, taking the attitude that it's okay to have them or not to have them.

After a while, there was a noise outside. A maid tiptoed forward to check. Seeing that Wei Qiqi had woken up, she said softly, "Master, shall I prepare for you to wash up?"

"it is good."

"What about breakfast?"

The maid asked softly, lowering her eyelids and looking at Wei Qiqi in an unrighteous manner.

"Let's use it here too. Will it bother you?"

The maid immediately lowered her head and said, "Master, please don't embarrass me. I am here to serve you."

Wei Qiqi looked at her lowered head and said after a long while, "Get up."

"Yes."

The maid looked particularly young, and must have been a 15-year-old girl not long ago. Although she looked outstanding, she was honest and obedient, and she did her work steadily and efficiently.

He must have high prestige in the City Lord's Mansion, because servants had prepared things one after another in a short while.

The maid stepped forward, took the mouthwash cup and the soft bristle brush and handed them to Wei Qiqi. After that, other people took care of everything while the maid served.

After she finished washing, the servant girl changed her clothes herself and took her to the dining area.

"What's your name?"

"The slave Yixi."

Wei Qiqi paused, "Do you know Yi Liu?"

"I trained with her. She is not here today because the city lord asked her to go back to the mansion to settle down first."

"Train together?"

"There were originally ten of us, including Yi Liu and I, but only five of us remained. The city lord personally taught us and gave us names."

Yi Xi explained that she was walking with Wei Qiqi, but she bent her body slightly when she answered.

"You don't have to be so cautious. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Just treat me as an ordinary person and reply normally."

She really couldn't stand Yi Xi's respectful look.

"But the city lord..."

“Since he has chosen you to serve me, do it in a way that is comfortable for me.

Um? "

Yixi was a smart person and quickly answered, "Yes."

Afterwards, Yi Xi took her to have breakfast at the mansion and also took her to visit the City Lord's Mansion.

By the time she left the City Lord's Mansion, it was almost noon. After Yi Xi explained everything about the City Lord's Mansion, he followed her to the mansion.

"Yixi, you come with me to the carriage."

"Yes."

Yi Xi spent a whole morning with Wei Qiqi and quickly got to know the hostess's personality. She was easy-going and easy to serve.

As long as it doesn't go against her wishes.

When they arrived at the mansion, Yi Liu was already waiting at the door. She took a few steps forward and stood on either side with Yi Xi, one on each side. They placed a footstool under their feet and Wei Qiqi got off it.

"master."

Yi Liu bowed to her.

After entering the mansion, Wei Qiqi had lunch first. After a while, Yi Liu came in with a bowl of herbs in his hand.

"I'm in good health now, so I don't need to take the medicine for now, right?"

The medicine was extremely bitter, and even she, who was used to eating bitter food, found it difficult to swallow.

"This is a medicine for conditioning the body, and the master said you need to take it for a while.

Doctor Shen will come over to take your pulse in a while."

Although Wei Qiqi felt that Yi Fenghan was making a big deal out of nothing, he still agreed with her proposal.

Yixi came over to say goodbye.

"I will go back to the City Lord's Mansion now. When do you want to come to the City Lord's Mansion, let me know and I will make arrangements for you."

"Are all five of you not together?"

"Yes." Yi Xi replied.

"When you were unconscious before, I and Yi Liu were serving you. Later, I was transferred to the City Lord's Mansion. From now on, Yi Liu will be in the mansion, and I will be in charge of the City Lord's Mansion. Among the other three, Yi Tang is in the army, and I don't know about the other two."

Wei Qiqi understood that Li Yuan personally trained these people to be in charge so that she could be more comfortable in various situations.

After Yi Xi left the mansion, Wei Qiqi really needed Yi Liu to take charge of the affairs in the mansion.

After following Ye Yuanxin to the military camps several times, Jana somehow found her master Zhu Youwei and continued to learn the craftsman's skills from him.

Ye Yuanxin was running between the mansion and the clinic, so Wei Qiqi didn't let her follow her.

It seems that the only one who is useful now is Yi Liu.

Has Li Yuan calculated this?

While she was enjoying herself comfortably, Li Yuan was rushing towards Jiguan Mountain in the early morning.

They traveled quickly through the night on the road to Jiguan Mountain and arrived near Jiguan Mountain at dusk.

The team had been traveling all day, and at dusk, Li Yuan ordered them to stop and rest.

"Let the vanguard go up and investigate. Make sure to find out the layout of Jiguan Mountain. Everyone else, except those on patrol, should rest."

"Yes."

The order was passed down, and soon everyone was resting on the spot.

Having not eaten properly all day, Li Yuan sat on the ground with a group of soldiers and ate kang cakes.

This thing is easy to carry and store, and it has a strong sense of satisfying hunger, making it the best military ration.

Li Yuan was no longer surprised to eat the same food as them. They all finished the food and drank the water in their hands in silence, then closed their eyes and rested.

This time, Li Yuan brought a thousand people with him and they galloped for a day before they were still some distance away from Jiguan Mountain.

Li Yuan brought the more elite soldiers from Jiguanshan. His intention was to capture Jiguanshan as quickly as possible and take what he needed.

Just because they couldn't defend Jiguan Mountain doesn't mean it will be taken away so easily.

Just when everyone was resting, the forwards returned.

"City Lord, there are about three thousand people in Jiguan Mountain, mainly distributed at the entrance and the back mountain under Jiguan Mountain."

"There's no one on that side of the cliff. We checked and found that the simple cargo transport device that Madam Wei had left behind for transporting things up and down is still there."

"In addition... on Jiguan Mountain, some women and children who fled with Madam Wei and others and did not follow are all in the hands of the enemy."
