After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

The guards hung bamboo signs on their waists to show their obedience.

They didn't mind at all that Li Qingqing had confiscated their ivory cards before.

Working for Mr. Liu, how could I get paid? Being able to avoid starvation was considered good treatment.

Li Qingqing watched them hang up the bamboo signs and continued, "If you don't perform well, not only will you go hungry..." Li Qingqing threatened,

"You know the consequences, right?"

"I know, I know. We will behave well!" When the guards heard this, they started crying again.

Those tears were half out of emotion and half out of real pain.

Guard: Lady, if you had known there was such a good thing, you wouldn't have to beat us up.

Li Qingqing: If I don't beat you up first, how can you be obedient?

Li Qingqing glanced at the guards and was very satisfied with their performance.

"Hu Dabao!" Li Qingqing glanced at Hu Dabao.

"I'm here!" Hu Dabao quickly put on a smile and came to Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing looked at him expressionlessly, then announced to the guards:

"From now on, you are all members of the pioneering team, and Hu Dabao is your captain. You must obey his orders completely!"

When Hu Dabao heard this, he was surprised to find that he was actually the captain. This title was quite impressive and he couldn't help but straighten his chest.

The guards had no objection, since Brother Hu had always been their leader.

As long as there is food to eat and wages to be paid, it doesn’t matter who is the boss.

"Hu Dabao, give them the hatchets and chop the bamboo according to my instructions!"

"Yes!" The guards were in high spirits.

Cutting bamboo is a simple thing. Who hasn’t cut firewood?

Nearly forty guards had some martial arts skills, and they chopped very quickly at the beginning, but by the afternoon they were too tired to do so.

If the subordinates are lazy, the captain will be held responsible!

When will this vast bamboo forest be cut down?

Hu Dabao didn't do anything, but he was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head.

He cut some vines from somewhere, peeled off the bark, and made a whip.

"Hurry up and cut the bamboo, don't be lazy!" Hu Dabao shouted ferociously and hit the guards hard.

"Oh, Brother Hu, stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"

"It's not that I want to be lazy, it's mainly because I'm too hungry."

"Gentle, gentle, look, if you hit me again, I'm going to faint."

"Brother Hu, you have a close relationship with the heroine. Why don't you talk to her and let us have something to eat?"

Only then did Hu Dabao realize that these guards had not eaten a single grain of rice since last night.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that although he was also captured, his treatment was different from theirs.

This made him more convinced that he had to work hard, and he swung the whip in his hand with greater force.

At this moment, Li Qingqing came over carrying a few pheasants.

"What's going on?" Li Qingqing hummed as she looked at these people.

After she handed these people over to Hu Dabao, she no longer cared about them.

But she didn't leave, and just hunted some small prey near the bamboo forest.

"Sister, they are not lazy, they are just really hungry." Hu Dabao was shocked and explained quickly.

Li Qingqing ignored him and walked over to the empty space where the bamboos were piled. She looked around and was quite surprised: "Did you cut down so many?"

Hu Dabao: ???

"Okay, no need to chop."

Li Qingqing stuffed a few pheasants into Hu Dabao's hands and instructed, "Do you remember the way? Take them home first and get them food later."

"I remember, I remember!" Hu Dabao immediately smiled. It turned out that there was no need to cut down all the bamboo forest?

Baobao was scared to death!

Hu Dabao quickly left with the guards.

After seeing them leave, Li Qingqing immediately collected all the bamboos piled on the ground into her space. Then, with a few leaps, she reached the flat land on the hillside behind the mountain.

Li Qingqing moved all the bamboo out of the space and piled them on the open space.

After these people have eaten, they can go directly to the open space to build bamboo houses, saving time.

After doing all this, she turned and rushed towards Zhou's house.

Li Qingqing walked quickly without stopping to think.

When she was almost at Zhou's house, she took out two wild goats from the space, holding one in each hand.

With so many people, it would be better to prepare a roasted whole lamb, which would save time and effort, and you don’t have to go to the village to borrow bowls and chopsticks.

She is so smart.

When the skewered mutton gradually turned golden and fragrant, Xie Xuan'an finally came to his senses from his shock.

"Come and try it?" Zhou Yimo handed a small bowl of cut roasted lamb to Xie Xuan'an.

Xie Xuan'an glanced at Hu Dabao's group. They were fighting over the food and having a lively meal.

After taking the mutton, Xie Xuan'an tasted a few bites and found that it had its own unique flavor.

"This roasted lamb is delicious." Xie Xuan'an raised his narrow peach blossom eyes and looked at Zhou Yimo in surprise.

Xie Xuan'an felt that it no longer mattered whether Li Qingqing was a vixen or not.

More importantly, his keen business sense allowed him to discover a new business opportunity.

Li's barbecue! This is an industry that is unheard of in the Great Yuan Kingdom.

Look, he even picked a name for his business! It would be absurd not to open a chain.

While Xie Xuan'an was eating barbecue, he was already silently calculating in his mind.

"My wife's craftsmanship is pretty good, right?" Zhou Yimo raised the corners of his mouth, appearing a little proud.

"Brother Zhou, I want to talk to you." Xie Xuan'an thought for a while and said.

"Hey, I remembered that I haven't given my wife something yet." Zhou Yimo was afraid that Xie Xuanan would ask him questions, so he quickly said:

"Thank you, young master. I'm leaving now. You can enjoy it slowly."

"Brother Zhou, I really have something to discuss with you!"

"No hurry, no hurry. Time is running out. We must finish building the bamboo house today."

Xie Xuanan: ...

Li Qingqing was busy building the bamboo house, but Mr. Liu was furious.

In the afternoon, Governor Qian suddenly found Mr. Liu and said that he had received an order from above to withdraw his troops back to Kyoto immediately.

"Mr. Liu, it's not that I don't want to help you. You know, I'm stationed in Yuntai County to ensure the safety of the Third Prince. Now that the Third Prince has arrived safely in the Protectorate, the news that the Emperor has bestowed upon him the title of Prince will soon arrive.

Now I have no choice but to return to Kyoto. Look, can you let me take the ten thousand taels of silver you promised me with me?"

After hearing this, Mr. Liu's face turned ashen.

Where did this Third Prince appear? Why didn't he show up earlier or later, but at this critical moment?

"Master Qian, I have indeed prepared this...the ten thousand taels of silver." Mr. Liu forced a smile.

He had calculated everything, but he never expected Governor Qian to...

"Mr. Liu, please don't let me return empty-handed. The journey back to Kyoto is long and tiring. You know, the world is not peaceful now, and I can't do without money." Governor Qian's tone was threatening.

Mr. Liu felt nervous. He understood that everyone was a ruthless person!

"Don't worry, Mr. Qian. I'll ask someone to prepare the silver right away. Please wait a moment." Mr. Liu gritted his teeth and had to agree.

"Brother Liu, you are so kind!" Governor Qian was beaming and ordered his men with a smile, "Come here, help Mr. Liu carry the silver."

Mr. Liu: ...

Mr. Liu hurried to the Liu Mansion. Behind him came the hearty laughter of Governor Qian:

"Brother Liu, take care. If you have the chance to come to Kyoto, I'll treat you to a drink!"
