At the north gate of Jingnan City, Li Yuanhe, dressed in a brand-new military uniform, stood majestically at the gate of the city. However, his armor was worn out, but it was old armor found in the warehouse.

After Luo Yan's persuasion a few days ago, Li Yuanhe also made up his mind to make a career in the troubled times. Naturally, Luo Yan proposed Li Yuanhe to the army. Li Yuanhe is also right to think about it. In times of chaos, all power is illusory. Only in the army can it be called a real career. So Luo Yan helped Li Yuanhe to the Chengshou of Jingnan City, and became a Sima guarding the city gate. He also had seven subordinates, which could be regarded as a junior officer.

However, after officially becoming the city guarding Sima, Li Yuanhe once again doubted Luo Yandi's identity. That day, when Luo Yan took Li Yuanhe to the official residence of the city, he saw that Luo Yan was like a mouse seeing a cat, and his face almost stuck to the ground. The identity of Luo Yan is definitely more than that of a housekeeper. However, since Luo Yan has not said it, Li Yuanhe can't take the initiative to ask. From now on, Luo Yan doesn't seem to have malice towards himself, so Li Yuanhe goes with the flow.

However, the place where Li Yuanhe lives is still the small quadrangle where Luo Yan sent him to stay after he was drunk last time. According to Luo Yan, it is just a house that Luo Yan bought before, and there is no one to live in, so it is given to Li Yuanhe. The two men, two women and four servants brought by Luo Yan last time were also arranged by Luo Yan for Li Yuanhe, as well as a lot of clothes and daily necessities. He really arranged Li Yuanhe's life very carefully.

Li Yuanhe is not a fool. Although Luo Yan always said that he wanted to repay his kindness, Li Yuanhe didn't think that the carriage he saved was worth his kindness. Although I don't know what kind of idea Luo Yan is trying to make, now what Luo Yan has arranged for Li Yuanhe is exactly what Li Yuanhe needs. Li Yuanhe is also disrespectful.

"My Lord!" A cry really interrupted Li Yuanhe's thinking. A soldier guarding the city gate came up to Li Yuanhe and said, "it's time now, and the gate has been cleaned. Do you want to open the gate?" This soldier, to be exact, should be Li Yuanhe's assistant, surnamed Chengming tiger. Originally, there was no need for such affairs as opening the city gate. Everything had to be reported by Li Yuanhe. However, Li Yuanhe, as a city gate Sima who was parachuted to the north gate, was his immediate superior. As the new official took office, he had a lot of oil and water to guard the gate. He didn't want to be fired by Li Yuanhe. So he began to act after consulting Li Yuanhe respectfully.

Li Yuanhe then raised his head and looked at the ground of the city gate. It was really clean, and then he nodded. Cheng Hu then bowed to Li Yuanhe, then turned to the soldiers who were holding the gate and called out, "open the door!"

"Cheep!"

At the gate, a group of people living outside the city are rushing towards the gate. Some of these people are farmers in the suburbs, carrying their own vegetables and transporting them to the city to exchange for some copper plates. Some coolies live in the suburbs. Although they work in the city, they are greedy for the rent of houses outside the city, so they all live outside the city. A few days ago, Li Yuanhe was one of them.

Of course, in addition, some of them go to the city to do business. They can even see some young ladies dressed up with a bamboo basket, but they should go to the city to buy some daily necessities.

"What are you doing! What do you want? What do you want? What's the rush! Want to rebel! Get out of here! One by one Cheng Hu put aside his legs and stood in the middle of the gate. He roared at the people who were ready to rush in. The four soldiers who opened the gate immediately picked up their spears from the edge of the city wall and blocked it directly at the entrance of the arch hole at the gate of the city.

As soon as the common people saw the spears in the hands of the soldiers, they immediately became quiet and formed a line one by one in accordance with Cheng Hu's arrangement. After Li Yuanhe looked at it, he nodded to the remaining two soldiers behind him and said, "you go! Be careful! But don't be too hard on them. Don't make trouble! " Li Yuanhe's saying so is reasonable. How can he say that he has lived in Jingnan city for more than ten years. How can he not know what the guards of these gates are. Li Yuanhe won't object to asking for money. Li Yuanhe won't go out of his way to break these hidden rules. However, if it is too much and leads to disputes, it is not what Li Yuanhe hopes.

"Here it is The two soldiers saluted Li Yuanhe in a hurry. They still respected the new boss. After all, Li Yuanhe did not take bribes as hard as they expected, nor could he suppress or prevent them from making a small fortune.

Looking at the gate of the city, Li Yuanhe nodded, but turned to rest in the awning built for the guards of the gate. However, he kept thinking about the way out in the future.

It's true that Li Yuanhe has no worries about food and clothing. Although Li Yuanhe has only worked in this city gate for a few days, his monthly salary plus the following filial piety can make him earn more than 20 liang of silver every month. This money was put in the past, even if Li Yuanhe was a coolie all his life, he could not earn it. There was no problem to support his family now. But can Li Yuanhe only meet the current situation? Surely not!Li Yuanhe is now an officer of the regular army. If he wants to continue to climb, he must have enough military achievements. As for Luo Yuan, he didn't try to find out the purpose of Luo Yuan. However, Jingnan city is located in the central area of the post Qin state. Whether it is the three barbarians established by the northern alien nationalities, or the other six Han nationality countries in the south, they are all far away from Jingnan city. In this way, Li Yuanhe, as the gate guard of Jingnan City, had no chance to fight the enemy in the battlefield. If he can't go to the battlefield, his military achievements are even more difficult to talk about. How can Li Yuanhe climb up.

While Li Yuanhe was thinking about it, Cheng Hu and the other six soldiers had gradually opened the gate of the city. At this time, more and more people came out of the city, and everything gradually entered the normal routine. Cheng Hu quickly walked to Li Yuanhe and said, "my Lord, everything is normal at the gate of the city now."

Li Yuan said: "I've been thinking of Li Yuan, but I've been talking with him in the eyes of Li Yuan! In this case, you will take Zhao Yong and Zhao Meng to guard the gate in the morning. In the afternoon, Wu San and Qian Laojiu will guard the gate. In the evening, Xu Liansheng and ma er pockmarked son will be replaced. "

After arranging the duty order for today, Li Yuanhe sent Chenghu to stand guard, then took up the tea cup on the table and drank it slowly. As an officer, he enjoyed a little power treatment. He didn't have to stand guard. He just needed to rest under the awning.

About three hours later, almost at noon, Li Yuanhe looked at the sky and ordered Chenghu to rest and prepare for lunch. Not far from the city, a woman came slowly, but one of the two maids sent by Luo Yan that day. Now she is here to deliver lunch to Li Yuanhe. It's not that Li Yuanhe didn't want to ask Luo Yan's identity from these servants, but he didn't get anything. It turned out that they were all bought by Luo Yan from the official slave market, but they didn't know Luo Yan's identity at all. The only person who may know Luo Yan's identity is probably the servant who took care of Li Yuanhe when he woke up drunk. Unfortunately, the servant was taken back by Luo Yan that day.

The maid went to Li Yuanhe and squatted slightly towards him. Then she took down the bamboo basket hanging on her wrist. It was very rich in four dishes and one soup, and three of them were meat dishes. This kind of food standard, put in this era, is already very good. Chenghu and Zhao brothers, who just came back from the gate of the city, were all salivated by the smell.

"Ha ha! Why don't you all have dinner together Li Yuanhe said to Cheng Hu with a smile that although Li Yuanhe had never been an officer, he had heard many stories told by the old man that the emperor was commanding his subordinates. It was just playing a stick and giving a sweet date. These days, Li Yuanhe is very strict with these subordinates, but if it goes on like this, his subordinates will feel afraid of him, but it is impossible for them to be truly loyal to themselves.

Hearing that Li Yuanhe was willing to let them eat together, Cheng Hu and others were stunned. In this era, the class division in the army is more strict than that in official circles. Although Li Yuanhe was only a junior officer, Li Yuanhe's predecessor and Sima of other city gates disdained to say more words with soldiers like them, let alone invite them to dinner together. At this time, in their hearts, suddenly like a warm current, quietly from their hearts.
