After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

When the guards heard the instructor's powerful commands, they instantly stood up straight like statues.

Immediately afterwards, the instructor issued a second command: "At ease!"

The sound seemed to possess a magical power, and the originally somewhat chaotic group underwent a miraculous transformation in the blink of an eye.

The team members moved nimbly and in an orderly manner, quickly adjusting their spacing and positions.

In no time, the previously chaotic team members had been arranged into several neat rows, instantly transforming into a well-trained and disciplined team.

This scene not only broadened the horizons of the other villagers present, but also made them look at the guard team with new respect.

After all, such an efficient and standardized collection method is a novel sight that ordinary people have never seen before.

Qiao Zuoyi and the others standing to the side were also deeply shocked by the scene before them.

They stared wide-eyed at the guard's every move, secretly marveling at their actions.

Qiao Zuoyi, in particular, keenly realized the immense value of this method of gathering and silently kept it in mind, planning to propose it to General Qiao when he returned to the military camp, so that his army could also follow suit.

Just as everyone was immersed in this spectacular performance, Qiao Tinghao once again shouted the order: "Dismissed!"

With this final command delivered, the entire team, like warriors receiving a bugle call to battle, scattered with lightning speed and disappeared from sight.

All that remained was an empty space and a group of onlookers still in a state of shock.

When Qiao Zuoyi and the others returned to Lianshan's home with Ruan Mumu and the others, they were once again amazed by the scenery before them.

In their minds, houses built in ordinary villages certainly wouldn't be very big.

To their surprise, it was completely beyond their comprehension.

"Young General, is this your home?" Qiao Zuo asked in astonishment, looking at the house in front of him.

Qiao Tinghao knew that the young general they were talking about was him, so he nodded affirmatively.

As the group led their horses into the backyard, they saw a smooth and clean cement floor, a spacious backyard, and a neat row of storage rooms.

Since we bought servants, we've expanded the backyard by an acre; otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to accommodate them.

However, even after the people in front led their horses into the courtyard, the other half of the people had not yet entered, and the courtyard already seemed quite crowded.

"Brother, how about this? Our yard isn't big enough to fit all these horses. Let's take them all to Xunlong Mountain and put them there!" Ruan Mumu suggested.

The main structure of the pharmaceutical factory on Xunlong Mountain is almost complete, but there are still some finishing touches to be done.

Because it's a pharmaceutical factory, herbs need to be dried, so the yard is quite spacious, big enough to accommodate dozens more horses.

"Okay, I'll take them to deliver the horses first! We'll make arrangements when I get back. You've been working hard all day, go back and rest!" Qiao Tinghao patted Ruan Mumu's head affectionately.

Unfortunately, Liu Ziyun witnessed this scene, which made him furious as he stormed back to his courtyard.

After Qiao Tinghao led Qiao Zuoyi and the others away from the backyard, Ruan Mumu went to find Granny Yu and Granny Yu to arrange dinner for the day.

Qiao Tinghao returned quickly and led everyone to the front hall.

"Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, I'm sorry for bringing so many people home without your permission..." Qiao Tinghao said apologetically to Chen Donghua and her parents sitting in the hall.

“Silly child, you are also a member of this family, and you can make decisions for yourself. Mumu has already told us, so don’t overthink it. Just arrange for them to stay,” Chen Donghua replied.

"Hello, Auntie, hello, Grandpa and Grandma, thank you." Qiao Zuoyi and the others greeted the elders of the Ruan family.

Chen Donghua and her parents smiled and nodded, replying, "Okay, okay, all is well."

Chen Donghua had heard Ruan Mumu say that war between Beisheng Kingdom and Xirong was imminent. Now that a group of military children were living in her home, their safety was actually guaranteed by an extra layer of protection, and she was quite happy about it!

"Thank you, Mother. I'll take them to arrange their lodgings first, and I'll come back to talk to you later." After saying that, Qiao Tinghao led his thirty-eight brothers out again.

The rear quarters had a total of ten rooms. Originally, Xiaochun's four maids lived in one room, Granny Yu and Granny Yu lived in another room, and two servants lived in yet another room.

There were seven empty rooms left, each accommodating four people, leaving ten people who couldn't be accommodated. Qiao Tinghao led his men to the backyard, where there were two clean empty rooms, where they arranged for eight more people to stay.

"Zuo Yi and Zuo Shi, you two can stay in my courtyard. There's an empty room there," Qiao Tinghao said to Zuo Yi and Zuo Shi.

There was really no place to arrange anything. He hadn't originally wanted anyone to stay in his courtyard because Ruan Mumu would occasionally come to his courtyard to discuss things with him, and the two of them could spend some time alone together. Now, it was inconvenient even to be alone with her, and he was somewhat annoyed.

"Young General, why don't we squeeze in with them?" Zuo Yi said, scratching his head.

They were used to living in military camps, and now that they were living in someone else's home and had to squeeze into the young general's courtyard, they felt very awkward.

"Just stay here when we tell you to, why are you making so many excuses?" Qiao Tinghao said irritably.

"Third Young Master, the young lady sent me to ask you to take them to your courtyard to collect daily necessities," Xiao Dong relayed the message from the backyard.

"Okay, I'll have them familiarize themselves with the place and then head over right away. You go and give the girl your feedback!" After saying that, Qiao Tinghao led Zuo Yi and the others to familiarize themselves with the place in the backyard.

After hearing the reply, Xiaodong left in a hurry.

Qiao Tinghao led everyone to the pool and introduced, "This is the pool. The water stored inside is water diverted from the mountain. This is called a faucet. Turn on this switch and the water will flow out automatically..."

Qiao Tinghao led everyone to familiarize themselves with the pool, public restrooms, public shower rooms, the lights in the rooms, and so on. He also led everyone to visit the buildings in the courtyard, explaining which courtyards could not be entered casually.

“Young General, this Ruan family is truly extraordinary! Look at these lights, faucets, and so on—we’ve never seen anything like them before. Could they be some kind of reclusive family?” Zuo Yi asked curiously.

Qiao Tinghao glanced at him and said, "You have quite the imagination."

Zuo Yi chuckled and touched his head.

"Young general, the uniforms of those guards looked so special today. Do we have them too?" someone asked.
