"Goodbye." Li Ruo smiled, took the initiative to tiptoe and kiss Xuanyuan Mo on the cheek before leaving without a rest.
After a long time since Liru had left, Xuanyuan Mo touched the spot where Liruo had kissed him and finally began to laugh loudly.
"Haha, haha!" The smile was simple and sincere. The men in the kitchen smiled at each other. It seemed like the plan they had made was right. Now it was time to help the general continue to stabilize his position.
Ruo Ruo had been delayed for a while, but there weren't many people in the yard when she arrived. She looked around and found that there were about a dozen of them. Fortunately, there were a few familiar faces among them.
"You guys are pretty fast!" With a smile, Li Ruo took the salt water from the kitchen and drank it.
"The Boss only said that we were not allowed to use the transportation tools, but he never said that we were not allowed to take shortcuts!" When he said this, he was not worried at all. When he said it, he was glared at by Dazhuang. If they were eliminated because they had taken the short route, it would be too despicable.
"Why are you staring at him?" "Li Ruo smiled." That was what I said. No matter what happens, I have to quickly come to a conclusion that would benefit me the most. Coming from the nearest route can save time and also allow you to complete the mission early, so why not? "
"Ah?" The Boss doesn't blame us! " Xiao Zhuang was extremely embarrassed. Why did he feel that Li Ruo's words were not from her heart?
"Why should I? Of course, during the training, you all must be steady and steady in order to be able to progress. But in the competition, it is still possible to take appropriate chances.
If Li Ruo needed such a person, she would have to listen to their commands. But she was not pedantic. Although it was just a fluke, she was still quite satisfied.
As they were talking, more and more people arrived. When they saw Li Ruo and the few people around her, they all smiled. As the time approached, more and more people arrived.
When the time came, Liru raised his hand and ordered the guards sent by Xuanyuan Mo to close the recently built gate. Several people who had just arrived at the gate were watching helplessly as the gate slowly closed.
This selection was a cruel one, and they had all witnessed it for themselves long ago. However, every time they saw it, they felt a sense of regret.
"There is no such thing as a second chance in life. No matter the reason, being late is always late. I don't accept any reason!"
"Perhaps everyone will think that I am ruthless, but please remember that this is a competition after all. If they come back, you will be the ones to leave!"
"It is good to have compassion, but I hope that you can have a healthy competition. Don't treat it as a game, although you are the best in the army, but if you have the face to return to the original barracks, then be merciful, I will never stop you!"
Everyone lowered their heads, the expressions on their faces changing in an unpredictable manner. However, no one stepped out to reason after Li Ruo finished speaking.
Li Ruo casually swept a glance.
"Good, now, I should congratulate you all because just now, your competitors are missing another ten or so people. You all should feel happy because at least until now, you all are temporarily safe!"
The smile on Li Ruo's face was very evil, but most of the time, she was cold. Especially during training, her master had said that if she hadn't been so cruel to her, she wouldn't have been standing beside him so quickly.
Li Ruo's gaze swept over to Cheng Ziheng, then she quietly moved away.
Master, you are clearly still alive and well. Why is there someone who looks so much like you here?
Was it fate or fate?
"I've already packed a sandbag for you guys, each bag weighs 10 pounds. Please carry 50 pounds each. Next, cross five kilometers and officially begin!"
"Please remember, the names of the bottom fifty will be recorded. After the end of the three matches, if there are any names left behind, you will be eliminated!"
With that, Li Ruo walked over and weighed fifty catties on her tiny body. She ran forward familiarly.
"Boss, your injury?" Yu Yang was worried and took the lead to speak.
"Don't worry!" Liruo smiled warmly, "My wounds are not on my body, I know what I'm doing. Since I'm going to be everyone's leader from now on, no matter what I do, I will personally demonstrate. This is what I promised before!" That's right, if these people were to absolutely obey her, then not only would she need to demonstrate, she would also need to personally participate. If she used her strength to tell these people that she could, then those that were eliminated wouldn't have any complaints.
This way, it would be for the best.
"Begin!" Liruo shouted, and everyone ran after her without stopping. Some of the stronger and stronger men ran past Liruo and ran into the distance.
Liru could even see their suppressed smiles.
Yu Yang, Dazhuang, Little Zhuang, Cheng Ziheng, and General Li all had a tacit understanding of each other. The four of them were walking at a place not too far away from Ruo Ruo, the one running in front would be slower, the one running slower would be slower, while the one running slower would wait.
However, no matter who she was, she would never disappoint others. Even if she moved forward at a steady pace, she would still be able to achieve her goals within the set time.
Someone had already arrived at the finish line, and it was still quite a distance away. It seemed that his body was still too weak.
Li Ruo left her belongings behind and turned around to look at the four people who were slowly approaching. She remembered that on the way, Xiao Zhuang had fallen down due to physical exhaustion, but these few people had actually supported her all the way here.
After all, Li Ruo was a woman. Before this, everyone had seen her display some of her abilities, but no one had seen her physical strength. To be able to hold out until now was truly impressive.
Without any rest, everyone quickly entered the second round of training.
Time passed unhurriedly for half a month, and a lot of people had already been eliminated. Xuanyuan Mo had come a few times and even personally cooked some delicious meals for her.
Ruo Ruo's body was also getting better. It seemed that as she got more active, she didn't feel weak anymore.
Now, every time he finished training, he felt his entire body relax and his face turn a lot redder. Xuanyuan Mo had even joked that Ruo Ruo had gotten fatter recently.
Qingyan also sent a letter, saying that everything regarding the mall had been settled and that the store was now open for business. She told Ye Ci to tell her where she needed money.
On this day, after the final selection, Ruo Ruo looked at the remaining two hundred people with a calm expression.
"There's no need to continue with the selection!" she said. " I have seen everyone's abilities. Very good, your performance was beyond my expectations and I am very satisfied, so I will now officially announce that all of you have passed the selection. From today onwards, you are all official members of the Dragon Squad! " Xuanyuan Mo had a tiger squadron in his hands, so a dragon squadron would be a good match. At first, Li Ruo thought of many names, such as Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and so on, but in the end she used the most ordinary name.
When everyone heard this, they collectively cheered.
"Now, all of you will be divided into two groups. One group will be led by Yang, the other will be led by General Li, and the latter will be assisted by Xiao Zhuang. Cheng Ziheng will remain as the strategist of our small team. Does anyone have any objections?"
"No!" Everyone nodded, the distribution was very reasonable.
Apart from Little Zhuang, these few people were all very powerful characters, but the performance of Little Zhuang was also very obvious.
It was still acceptable …
The training that followed was basically the same as the training methods of the modern world's special agents. It was all closed training, and even Xuanyuan Mo was rejected at the door when he came here.
Xuanyuan Mo pitied her and had only instructed her to rest well before leaving. This time, they hadn't seen each other for an entire three months.
"Chief, the Emperor has just sent out an imperial decree saying that there was a disaster in Nanyang and that the general has already rushed there. However, because the terrain there is very steep, it is not appropriate to bring too many men there. Please bring the people from the dragon team and quickly go to Nan Yang to meet with the general! "
"How long has Xuanyuan Mo been gone for?" This was an accident, but the emperor definitely wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at the results of the dragon-team's training. Thus, she had no choice but to go.
Furthermore, she would never refuse such a thing. After all, it was a matter that concerned the lives of the commoners.
"Alright, let's prepare. We'll be leaving in an hour!"
"Head, the Emperor is really considerate, even the horses are already prepared!" Yu Yang smiled. During this period of training, not only had there been great changes, but these people had also changed greatly. Yu Yang was one of the people who had changed the most.
"En!" Li Ruo smiled, her mouth carrying a slight taunt. What was this about being considerate? It was clearly rude.
That damned fox Jun Mo Xie, he had better protect his life from her, otherwise, he would definitely let her off scot-free.
The Southern City was about five days away from the Imperial City. Ruo Ruo had spent three days leading her group before they arrived. By then, Xuanyuan Mo would have arrived and would have discussed with the local officials about how to save them.
His face was calm and his young face had a few stubble on it. He looked very tired.
"What's the situation like?" Before he could reminisce about the past, he had already begun his work.
"It's very strange!" Xuanyuan Mo pursed his lips. "The way to the mountain has already been completely sealed off. They say that a natural disaster occurred a month ago and yet they haven't recovered from it yet, but strangely, we can still see the thick smoke and the noises of old people and children inside. It seems like the lives of the people inside have not been affected in any way."
