Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Seeing Guo Zixiong take full responsibility for this matter, Li Yuan nodded gratefully and said,

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Guo."

Guo Zixiong waved his hand and said,

"Oh, Brother Li, you're mistaken."

"This Jiang Bin is my subordinate, and he went to harass Brother Li's winery."

"It's due to my poor supervision, and I should apologize to Brother Li."

"Like this, Brother Li, please take good care of Lord Marquis here for the time being."

"I'll go out for a while and be right back."

Guo Zixiong stood up and first excused himself to Marquis Longxiang.

Then, he called the garrison commander Lin Wanshan over and whispered instructions.

"Old Lin, go to the fortress and gather some personal soldiers, bring your weapons, and come with me to handle something."

Lin Wanshan had heard everything that had happened just now clearly.

He secretly laughed in his heart, Jiang Bin, that fellow, is courting death; no one can save you.

Seeing the commander-in-chief instructing him to mobilize men,

He also immediately stood up and went out to arrange the gathering of personal soldiers.

Before long, a burst of rapid hoofbeats sounded outside the door, gradually fading into the distance.

Clearly, Commander Guo had taken men to find that oblivious Jiang Bin.

Li Yuan first silently mourned for three seconds for that Right Commander of the Guards he had never met.

Cui Niang was greatly astonished to hear that the person sitting at the head of the table was actually a marquis.

She hurriedly bowed deeply from afar.

Then, she got up and prepared to leave, returning to Dongshan Village to deliver the message to the centurion.

At this moment, the female marquis sitting at the head of the table spoke up.

"It's already night; it's not safe for her to walk alone at night."

"Zhao Yong, take a few men and escort this female manager back to the workshop."

"Protect her safety on the way."

In fact, Li Yuan was also worried that it wouldn't be appropriate for Cui Niang to walk alone at night so late.

He didn't expect the female marquis to be so considerate, taking the initiative to arrange guards.

Li Yuan and Cui Niang hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude.

After seeing Cui Niang off, the banquet was almost over.

Seeing that it was late, the female marquis and her sister would definitely be staying at Li Yuan's house.

The Chu sisters and the maids, Liu Qing and the others, busily cleaned the best room in the house carefully and changed the bedding with brand new quilts.

This would be the residence of Marquis Longxiang, Bai Jing, and her younger sister, Bai Yuxuan.

In fact, according to the customs of the Great Liang Dynasty,

It was not appropriate for an unmarried female marquis and her younger sister to directly stay in a man's house, according to the rules of etiquette.

However, such customs could only restrain ordinary women.

A woman like the female marquis, who was young and held a high position, commanding tens of thousands of troops as a general, was naturally not among them.

Since Marquis Longxiang herself didn't care, who else would dare to say anything?

At this moment, inside the main room of the Li residence, Marquis Longxiang, who usually appeared in men's clothing, had changed into loose home clothes.

Her black hair, which was usually tied up, was also let down like a waterfall, and her heroic features also appeared much softer.

Her younger sister, Bai Yuxuan, stood behind her, massaging her sister's shoulders while chatting idly.

"I really didn't expect it."

"Sister actually moved into Li Yuan's house so naturally."

"It seems that sister no longer cares about the gossip of outsiders."

At this time, Bai Jing, enjoying her sister's massage, had a slightly flushed face and said indifferently,

"What others care about is only the title of Marquis Longxiang,"

"No one truly cares about a woman named Bai Jing."

"When they asked me to take over the front line of the Chishui River, no one cared about my life."

"Now that I have returned alive from the battlefield,"

"Why should I care about the world's views of me?"

"For our Bai family, Li Yuan's value is immeasurable."

"If our Bai family wants to revive, it is necessary to win over this Li Yuan."

"My friendship with Li Yuan is also for the future of our Bai family."

Bai Yuxuan's eyes flickered, and she suddenly asked,

"Then, sister, what do you want to do next?"

The female marquis sighed and said leisurely,

"I haven't figured it out yet; I want to see more."

"I want to know how capable this Young Master Li is."

"How many more surprises can he bring me?"

After settling the female marquis, Li Yuan returned to the inner room to reunite with his wives and concubines.

After closing the door, the Chu sisters and Xiao Xia finally had the opportunity to ask their husband.

What was the origin of this female marquis, and why did she come to their house?

Li Yuan could only smile helplessly and recounted the events of the past few days on the Chishui River front line one by one.

When the women heard that this Marquis Longxiang was actually the commander-in-chief of the entire army in the Battle of the Chishui River,

They were all shocked and speechless.

Good heavens, their husband had actually abducted a female marshal of the Great Liang Dynasty to their home.

Relying on a woman's sixth sense, Chu Wanjun faintly felt that this female marquis's purpose for their man was not simple.

But knowing the identity of the female marquis, she didn't dare to say anything.

As the women were talking about their feelings of separation these days, suddenly, a knock came from outside the courtyard door.

Li Yuan hurriedly got up and went to the door.

Opening the door, he saw that it was actually Commander Guo Zixiong, who had just left.

He saw him covered in dust, with a few drops of blood still on his face that hadn't been wiped clean.

Li Yuan was stunned and hurriedly asked,

"Brother Guo, what... what happened?"

Guo Zixiong looked left and right, seeing that there were no idlers around, he pulled Li Yuan aside and explained.

"I went to Jiang Bin's house just now."

"I've thoroughly questioned him, and that fellow Jiang Bin recently took a concubine."

"The woman's family is the manager of a winery in the county town."

"They've long been eyeing the wine you brew."

"This time, they married their daughter to Jiang Bin to use his power to seize your winery."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes flickered, and just as he was about to say something, he didn't expect Guo Zixiong to continue.

"Brother Li, don't worry, I've taken care of everything cleanly for you."

"Right Commander of the Guards Jiang Bin and the people from that winery, I've already had people send them away; they will never appear in Qingyuan County again."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes; he sensed a murderous intent from Guo Zixiong's words.

Looking at Guo Zixiong's face again, with the bloodstains that had not yet dried,

Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart; clearly, the "sending away" that this commander-in-chief spoke of was probably a direct physical elimination of the household.

This Right Commander of the Guards Jiang Bin and his concubine's family would indeed never appear again.

Li Yuan hurriedly said to the commander-in-chief,

"Alas, Commander, why would you go to such lengths for such a trivial matter?"

Guo Zixiong shook his head, his eyes ice-cold, and said,

"He should never have used my name to wreak havoc in the area."

"Wouldn't that cause trouble for me in the future?"

"How could I, Lao Guo, let him go?"

Li Yuan could only nod.

"Then thank you, Commander."

Guo Zixiong sighed and said.

"This matter was originally due to my lax supervision; I only ask Brother Li to say a few good words for me in front of the Marquis."

Li Yuan cupped his fist.

"Commander, rest assured; this is something that should be done."

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Guo Zixiong bid farewell to Li Yuan, agreeing to come and pay respects to the Marquis again tomorrow.

After speaking, he left with his personal soldiers.

Li Yuan stood in the courtyard, raised his head, and looked up at the sky, his heart filled with thoughts.

People like Right Commander of the Guards Jiang Bin, if he had encountered them a month ago, he would have had to be respectful and not dare to look up to them.

But now, he didn't even have to take action himself; merely by borrowing the influence of Marquis Longxiang,

A Right Commander of the Guards, a prominent figure in Qingyuan County, was directly physically eliminated.

In this Great Liang Dynasty, power is indeed the foundation for establishing oneself.

Li Yuan's heart surged; he secretly vowed in his heart that in this chaotic world, he must stand higher and wield more power.

Only then can he protect himself and the people he cares about.
