girl after so many boys!"Outside the cave, Li's three brothers and several young boys were all leaning on their legs and looking out. Hearing this, they all cheered up."We have a little sister!""Milk...Those weeping women and the elderly were driven out before they could react, under pressure from long swords.

No matter if they scolded or roared, the soldiers were stony-faced and absolutely refused to budge.

And the sons of various noble families, stricken with grief as if they had lost their mothers, were pushed together into a designated area. They were quickly registered and then organized into lines before setting off.

Originally, Li Laosi had also found dozens of carriages and planned to register a batch and send it to the wharf military camp in batches.

But he was also annoyed by the current situation.

Why use a carriage to deliver someone Might as well walk there myself and give these young masters a taste of their own medicine.

Otherwise, in the future, if you want to apply this mud on the wall, it will be harder than climbing to heaven!

As expected, hearing that we had to walk fifty or sixty miles to the dock, everyone refused.

Besides the wailing from the families, even young masters were lying on the ground refusing to get up.

"Let me die, I can't go anywhere!"

"This is murder! They won't let us ride in the carriage, forcing us to walk. This is taking our lives!"

"I'm going to report you!"

"Help, Grandmother, help! Mother, help!"

The soldiers advanced, kicking and whacking them with the hilts of their swords, but these mangy dogs still wouldn't obey.

After whispering a few words to each other, Li Yong went to find a lot of ropes.

All the young masters who refused to listen were bound at the wrist, tied to a horse's back, and forcibly dragged away.

They kept pace with their feet, and walked to the dock.

Those who can't keep up, get dragged behind the horse!

As for whether or not you'll be beaten to a pulp, whether you live or die, it all depends on yourself!

Originally, everyone still had the thought that "the innocent are not blamed," but seeing a few unlucky young masters being dragged behind a horse and beaten into unrecognizable shapes, no one dared to question them anymore.

Even with tears in their eyes and legs trembling, the young masters lined up obediently and began to head towards the pier.

In less than half an hour, the city gate was completely silent.

Everything was thrown haphazardly on the floor.

Old men, women and children were heartbroken and wished they could go with the children. They cried so hard their makeup ran, looking even worse than beggars.

Someone couldn't help but ask: “What is the name of this leading general Who is he from He is too heartless!”

"Yeah, not even a shred of dignity left. These are all children from good families, how can they be treated like livestock..." The bystanders grumbled as well, wanting to scold but afraid of the repercussions, only making things worse for the children.

Someone deliberately sent a servant to inquire about it.

The small clerks of the Ministry of War were joyfully dismantling the grass huts, naturally delighted at this chance to make money.

So, they took the hard-earned silver and agreed.

The squad leader was General Li Qiusheng, the fourth master of the Li family in Suijin Beach, which is also to say the father of Kang Le County Lord!

"Don't you dare think that just because I'm the county lord's father, this general got his position through connections! He certainly didn't!"

"General Li accompanied Marquis Xinting on two northern campaigns, killing over 200 enemies and achieving many brilliant feats. This general was earned through his own hard work!"

"Yes, it's said he was born with divine power and extraordinary martial skills. The Marquis relied on him heavily, and even his reputation reached the Emperor himself!"

"Just now, I saw it with my own eyes! My son and I were holding onto a wooden pole that fell down. General Li simply lifted it up with one hand."

"That's right, that's right, and they even smiled cheekily, not at all disdainful of us being useless."

Originally, it was supposed to be a thorough investigation, but in the end, it turned into a praise session for petty officials.

After hearing the news, everyone held their breath in anticipation.

Although the Li family held a noble title and were newcomers to power, they had never truly taken them seriously before.

After all, their families have accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, they are simply not comparable to someone like the Li family who came from humble beginnings!

As a result, their precious darling ended up in someone else's hands, having to be kneaded and disciplined... Truly, the wheel of fortune turns!

Could it be that they're still going to curry favor with the Li family and become close with them!

Without saying what these people were thinking, whether happy or angry.

Only Li Lao Si, leading his soldiers, drove those young masters and new recruits for a whole day and night before reaching the dock.

More than fifty miles At this speed, it's practically like a tortoise!

Li Laosi's face was ashen with rage, while Li Yong and the soldiers were exhausted.

Although they could be scolded and beaten, these young masters didn't soften their hearts. However, they were exhausted and couldn't really behead them all...

On the contrary, we have to help guard at night to prevent wild animals, insects, or snakes from treating these discarded things lying in the open as snacks.

When the lord heard the news, he brought Jiang Cheng to the camp's doorstep and waited. Upon seeing Li Si and Li Yong and others' disheveled appearance, they all burst into laughter.

"Didn't I tell you to fight freely and mercilessly" the Marquis asked angrily.

Li Lao Si had no energy, waved his hand, and replied: "It's mainly these lazybones. They would rather be whipped than walk. I can't kill them all!"

Li Yong also stared with wide eyes and complained, “I’ve learned something new today! This is just walking, acting like it's costing them their lives. If they were on the battlefield, starving, thirsty, with enemies all around, they would probably scare themselves to death first!”

Jiang Cheng sneered, "They're taking advantage of us, sure that we can't take their lives. When they really get to the battlefield, with barbarians wielding horse-slicing blades chasing behind them, they'll probably run faster than anyone! It's just a pity my parents didn't give me eight legs!"

“That makes sense!” The marquis nodded and ordered, “Let them change their clothes, have a meal, and get some sleep. Starting tomorrow, they will resume normal training. Anyone who disobeys orders, just carry out military law, kill those who deserve it! I take responsibility for any consequences!”

"Yes, Lord," everyone replied in unison.

At this time, the Li family's carriage also arrived at the camp gate. It turned out that Li Zhensheng came to unload the ship and brought his little niece over to play along the way.

Jia Yin was just overjoyed to see the fruit saplings and medicinal herbs that her brothers had brought back. She couldn't help but jump over and hug the Marquis and her father's arms, showing off: "Father-in-law! Father! My brothers found me a fruit tree sapling. This time next year, I'll treat you to fresh fruits!"

"Alright, as long as you're having fun." The lord stroked the little girl's hair.

Li Lao Si sighed, "Dad's afraid he'll have to deal with these wastes for a while. You just behave yourself at home."

Jia Yin watched from afar at the new recruits who were almost collapsed on the ground, and sneered: "They are really pathetic, not even as good as our brothers!"

"That's right!" Li Yongqi waved his whip energetically, "Jiaxi and Jia'an are much stronger than them!"

After a few more words, Li Zhensheng took his young niece back to Xindu. The Marquis had business in the palace and rode with them.

Left Li Lao Si, Li Yong and Jiang Cheng to continue worrying about these new recruits...

Now it is truly autumn.

In the fields, hardworking farmers are busy harvesting the year's crops everywhere.

Men wielded sickles, women pushed carts to transport them, the elderly and children sent water and food, watching the drying and turning.

Even babies just learning to walk were tied to the big trees in the fields, gurgling and making a fuss.

The Li family's carriage was moving very fast. Li Fu had been waiting in the small courtyard west of the city all day. He was overjoyed to finally see his master return, as this meant he could be of use again. He kept flicking his whip, making a sharp cracking sound!rth as she cautiously approached her stepfather, lowering her voice to a whisper, "Stepfather, how did you know! This is a secret, you can't tell anyone!"“Ho ho ho!” The Marquis burst into laughter, p...
