In chaotic times, skill points are added: from hunter to martial saint, only killing and no mercy!

Whoosh!

The two guards at the gate lifted the tent flap, and Li Yi walked in with his head held high.

"General, you wanted to see me?"

General Guan knew that Li Yi had led his men to find the Cao family's merchant caravan.

Seeing the change in Li Yi's spirit and energy, General Guan nodded subconsciously.

If he wasn't mistaken, Li Yi's cultivation level and strength should have improved again.

After gesturing for the other officers in the tent to leave, General Guan had Li Yi sit at a table beneath him.

"Cao Li and Cao Cheng died because of you, and you even killed Cao Cheng with your own hands."

"Your feud with the Cao family is a blood feud; the Cao family will not let you go!"

Hearing General Guan's words, Li Yi nodded slightly.

But that's how the world works; if he doesn't act, he'll be the one who dies.

Despite having incurred the wrath of the Cao family, Li Yi did not regret it.

"With me protecting you, no matter how dissatisfied the Cao family is, they won't dare to openly attack you."

Upon hearing General Guan's words, Li Yi's heart stirred.

General Guan knew perfectly well what the Cao family had done and had protected him greatly, so he wouldn't mention these things without reason.

General Guan sighed, looking at Li Yi with a helpless expression:

"It's all thanks to you that I was able to ambush and kill two thousand Qing Kingdom soldiers, which earned me a reward from the imperial court."

"I received military orders not long ago."

"Let me go to Yanmen Pass to take up my post soon."

Li Yi had heard of Yanmen Pass. It was a dangerous place, a battleground between the Chen and Qing kingdoms.

In other words, this is the front line of the war between the State of Chen and the State of Qing.

"If I leave Blackrock Town, the new general may not necessarily protect you."

"If you're willing, I can take you to Yanmen Pass as well. Yanmen Pass is a key location controlled by our military. No matter how powerful the Cao family is, they can't easily interfere with Yanmen Pass."

General Guan explained the advantages and disadvantages, then looked at Li Yi with concern.

"You have a few days to think it over. Will you choose to stay here, or come with me to Yanmen Pass?"

Listening to General Guan's words, Li Yi fell into thought.

Putting aside the threat from the Cao family, his own martial arts skills are extremely suitable for development in the army.

Although the battles at Yanmen Pass were fierce, the sheer number of battles meant a wealth of opportunities to gain merit!

Since the Cao family is one of the seven great families of Chen, I will use the power of the army to develop myself and fight against them!

Going to Yanmen Pass is not only my only option, but also the most beneficial one for me!

"General, there's no need to think for days; I can give you my answer right now!"

Li Yi looked up at General Guan and said in a deep voice:

"I choose to go to Yanmen Pass with you!"

Upon hearing this, General Guan laughed heartily and took a sip of strong tea.

"I knew you'd choose Yanmen Pass!"

"Since you've chosen to go to Yanmen Pass, I'll give you five days off to take care of some household chores. After five days, we'll head to Yanmen Pass!"

"Thank you, General!"

Li Yi was overjoyed. After exchanging some details with General Guan, he left the camp.

Outside Blackstone Town, Li Yi looked at the familiar village and smiled.

"We'll meet here in three days. Don't miss it."

Looking at Liu Ye and the other two guards in front of him, Li Yi gave each of them twenty taels of silver and told them to go home and say goodbye to their families.

As Li Yi's personal guards, they would also accompany him to Yanmen Pass.

After giving a few words of advice, Li Yi headed home.

In her own courtyard, Liu Fang, heavily pregnant, was embroidering clothes, while Liu Ru squatted on the ground beside her, brewing medicine to prevent miscarriage.

Meanwhile, Li Xin and Li Yue were practicing together.

"Brother! You're back!"

Li Yue looked up and saw Li Yi.

In an instant, everyone turned their attention to him, their faces beaming with joy.

Looking at Liu Fang, who was supporting her back, Li Yi felt a surge of warmth and familiarity.

My blood is inside her.

"Brother, eat quickly!"

At the dinner table, Li Yue picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Li Yi's bowl.

Looking at the abundant food and wine before him, Li Yi, whose body and mind had been exhausted for so long, subconsciously relaxed a lot.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Li Yi put down his chopsticks and said to Li Xin:

"Tomorrow morning, you should find a suitable person to sell all the houses and land in your home."

"In a few days, I'll take you to Yanmen Pass!"

Li Yi briefly explained the situation and then asked Liu Fang to sell her family's assets and head north together.

After hearing what Li Yi said, no one had any complaints about leaving their hometown and heading north to Yanmen Pass.

Without Li Yi's protection, they would be like weeds in this chaotic world, easily trampled to death at any moment.

The next morning, the group split up to handle various matters.

Wow!

Li Yi lit incense and candles and placed them in front of the grave.

"Brother Erniu, we're heading to Yanmen Pass."

As Li Yi burned paper money, he muttered something in a low voice, while Liu Fang, supported by Liu Ru, looked down at him.

"This time, I'm determined to make a name for myself at Yanmen Pass!"

"I will keep my promise to you sooner or later!"

After burning the paper money, Li Yi poured wine and poured it down in front of Li Erniu's tombstone.

Let's go!

After paying their respects to Li Erniu, Li Yi led the group out of the village.

drive!

Li Xin brandished his whip and drove the carriage carrying Liu Fang and other women leisurely toward the military camp.

Li Yi, carrying his backpack, looked back.

Blackrock Town was gradually disappearing from his sight.

"I don't know when I'll be able to return."

With a mix of emotions in his heart, Li Yi resolutely turned around and strode confidently toward the military camp.

Why must one's bones be buried in one's hometown? Where in life are there no green hills?

Besides Li Yi's family, Liu Fang's nephew, Gou Dan, will also be going to Yanmen Pass in the north on this trip. Liu Fang will be giving birth soon, and having another person will make things easier.

Han Jia will also travel to Yanmen Pass together with the First Battalion under Li Yi's command.

The Gale Battalion will be under the command of the former Second Battalion Chief.

Perhaps due to the constant warfare, the land of Yanmen Pass is stained with too much blood, making it quite desolate.

Li Yi brushed the weeds off his face and stared intently at the campsite in front of him.

After arriving at Yanmen Pass with General Guan, Li Yi was appointed as the temporary commander of the archer battalion.

Of the two hundred men in the group, apart from the fifty men from the first detachment brought by Li Yi, the remaining men from the other three detachments were mainly new recruits!

"Sound the bugle, assemble!"

At Li Yi's command, Han Jia took a huge horn and blew it.

Waaaaaah~

When the bugle sounded, the many new recruits in the camp were stunned for a moment, but then quickly assembled under the organization of the veterans.

Before long, the soldiers of the Three Rivers had assembled.

Surrounded by veterans of the First Village, Li Yi came before them.

"I am your leader, Li Yi!"
