After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

After Li Qingqing taught Deputy General Chi how to process wild yam, she returned to her residence.

Unexpectedly, Censor Song was sitting in the outer hall, frowning and anxiously waiting for her.

Hearing Li Qingqing coming back, Censor Song walked out in two steps.

He looked her up and down, and finding that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief and said:

"I never thought that a boy like you, who seemed delicate and tender, could actually tame that fierce horse."

After a pause, he realized that he was a little too concerned, so he coughed and asked:

"What delicious prey did you catch yesterday?"

"Are you concerned about me or the prey I hunted?" Li Qingqing smiled at Old Man Song.

"Of course I care about you!" Censor Song glared, then laughed:

“If there is delicious food in front of you, then naturally you will care about it.”

Ever since he had a meal at Li Qingqing's place, Censor Song never again wanted to eat big pot stew in the barracks.

Even if he was drunk and not awake, he would ask the shadow guard to save a copy for him.

His originally thin face has gradually become plump these days.

Maybe she drank a little wine today, her cheeks are rosy, her face is red and her hair is white, and she looks inexplicably funny.

Li Qingqing felt deep down that it would be beneficial to the soldiers at the border to have a good relationship with the military supervisors sent by the court.

Otherwise, if these people handed the memorial to the superior and there was even a slight mistake in the text, it would cause a lot of trouble for Li Feng.

Therefore, Li Qingqing was still happy to bribe him with delicious food.

Fortunately, Censor Song is an easygoing person, and he probably has developed feelings for General Li after spending more than ten years with him.

Now he also takes good care of General Li and Li Qingqing.

"I'll make you something delicious for lunch today. I guarantee you've never had it before!"

Li Qingqing glanced at Old Man Song with amusement, turned and walked into the kitchen and started to get busy.

Previously, she taught Deputy General Chi to make a dish of wild yam stewed with wild boar bones, and she planned to make one now.

This wild yam tastes soft, sweet and very suitable for stewing. Its taste is similar to that of iron stick yam.

It is much more delicious than the yam in later generations which is a kind of vegetable that remains crispy even after being boiled for a long time.

After a while, Li Qingqing prepared lunch and asked Yunwu to send a portion to Li Feng.

Usually, after Li Qingqing prepared the food in her kitchen, if Censor Song and Li Feng didn't come, she would send it to them respectively.

Since Censor Song is here today, let's keep him here for dinner.

While eating, Yun Wu came back from Li Feng and brought back a piece of news.

"City Lord, General Li just rushed to the border town and asked me to bring the food back, saying we can eat later. He also said that if you finish your meal, please go to the border town as soon as possible."

With Censor Song standing by, Yun Wu and other shadow guards directly addressed Li Qingqing as the City Lord.

After all, the identity of the Pavilion Master should not be revealed to outsiders easily.

"Oh, but what happened?" Li Qingqing was a little curious.

Usually, Li Feng stays in the main city and the barracks, and rarely goes to the border town in person.

There are garrisons guarding the back gate of the border town. They return to the barracks for rotation every few days and hand in the city defense log to Li Feng for review.

"I don't know, but I vaguely heard the town guards report to General Li that a large group of people had arrived. They looked neither like civilians nor soldiers, but like a mob."

Li Qingqing heard this and speculated in her heart.

Could it be that Li Feng called for reinforcements after learning that the border city was in danger?

Then a light bulb went off in her head. Could it be... someone coming from Qiu Shui Town?

The labor force she had been waiting for for so long finally arrived?

Li Qingqing's heart suddenly became excited. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and said to Censor Song without changing her expression:

"Master Censor, please enjoy your meal. I'll go and take a look."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Censor Song's response, she hurriedly urged Yunwu to harness the carriage quickly.

Li Qingqing and her shadow guards quickly rushed to the border town.

At this time, Li Feng had already instructed the guards to check everyone one by one and let them enter the border town.

When Li Qingqing rushed over, a large group of people had just entered the city.

There are civilians, merchants, officials, bandits, and escort teams...

It turned out to be a group of "rabble" from Qiu Shui Town!

The total number of soldiers and villagers in the border city is only 6,500.

At this time, there was a large group of people standing in Heiyao, estimated to be more than ten thousand people!

Even most of them were dressed in rags and still carried pots and pans.

This is... where did they flee from?

If she hadn't seen that the people leading the group were Xie Xuan'an, Bai Ye, Hu Dabao, Li Tiezhu and others, she wouldn't have believed that these were the labor force from Qiu Shui Town.

Li Qingqing glanced at the crowd, then glanced at Xie Xuanan, thinking to herself:

Isn’t it said that the county magistrate cannot run around at will? Did Xiao Xie come here secretly?

She wanted to ask what was going on with Xie Xuanan and the others.

But there were so many people around that it was difficult for her to reminisce about the past.

Fortunately, Li Feng saw Li Qingqing coming and immediately handed her the letter written by Zhou Yimo.

After reading the letter, Li Qingqing nodded to Li Feng, indicating that she understood.

Li Feng then called on everyone to be quiet.

He introduced to everyone: "This is the Lord of Qing City. He will take care of everyone from now on."

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing looked calm as she looked at the village head beside her.

The head of the village was extremely panicked at this moment. He originally thought that no matter how many people came, the number would not be more than the villagers in the small town. He didn't expect that it would be a huge group!

There are so many people. If we drive all the people in the town out, the houses will not be able to accommodate them.

Before Li Qingqing could speak, the village head hurriedly said:

"City, City Lord, this small town probably can't accommodate so many people."

Li Qingqing nodded, she understood.

She originally thought that the people coming were Hu Dabao and his thirty-seven men, the three thousand bandits, Li Tiezhu and several hundred laborers, plus Bai Ye's escort team, and the caravan under Xie Xuan'an, which should be less than four thousand people at most.

She had already planned to settle only the caravan and escort team in the town, and the rest of the people near the brick kiln.

She didn't expect Zhou Yimo to send so many refugees to her.

But refugees are good! She accepts them all.

Migrants can develop into indigenous people.

Where there are people, there is life.

Those who can work can participate in labor, and those who cannot work can participate in childbearing.

In short, none of them will be wasted.

Li Qingqing's face was calm as she instructed the village head: "Call two villagers over and have them lead some people to settle down first."

The village head nodded in agreement and then called two villagers over.

Li Qingqing first turned her gaze to Bai Ye and said with a smile, "Bai Ye, you've worked hard. Take your people and go rest first."

"Yes!" Bai Ye responded, as usual, without saying much.

He led the Qingfeng Pavilion's escort team and followed the two villagers away.

Li Qingqing glanced at Hu Dabao and saw that Hu Dabao was looking at her with sparkling eyes and an excited expression.

Li Qingqing couldn't bear to look at it, so she just ignored it and turned her gaze to Xie Xuanan again.

Xie Xuan'an still looked like a dandy and unruly man, but with a sword on his body, he looked even more handsome.

It can be seen that the temperament and demeanor of people who practice martial arts are always different from those of ordinary people.

At this moment, he squinted his peach blossom eyes filled with smile and looked at Li Qingqing, letting her look at him.
