157. Crisis

As soon as he saw the soldiers in the village, the middle-aged man who was still talking and laughing with Taiping suddenly closed his mouth and looked at the soldiers who were obviously not good.

Taiping didn't speak much, but when he saw those soldiers, he became more honest, and even instinctively lowered his head to prevent him from seeing his face.

But he forgot about it now, he has lived in the mountains for several years, he has never shaved his beard, and now his face is full of beard like a wild man, who can recognize him with a sharp eye!

At this moment, an old man hiding behind the wall suddenly said, "Why did you come back?" Hurry up, hurry up, go away! The officers and soldiers have come to arrest people, and if they are caught, they will be sent to the border gates! ”

He seemed to be terrified, and as soon as he had said this, he shrank his head and went into hiding again.

The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, and he looked at Taiping guiltily. If he hadn't forcibly pulled Taiping back, Taiping wouldn't have encountered these things when he stayed in the mountains!

A moment of hesitation flashed on his face, and then he grabbed Taiping's wrist hard, and said in a low voice: "Shanzi, while they haven't found you yet, you go quickly!" Hide back in the mountains, and when they're gone, I'll look for you!" ”

Taiping frowned stubbornly, since the officers and soldiers were here to arrest people, at the age of a middle-aged man, he was afraid that if he could not escape military service, he would definitely be forcibly taken away.

If he really hides in the mountains, I'm afraid he will never see this man again.

When the middle-aged man saw that he didn't leave, he suddenly became anxious, twisted his body hard, pushed him on his back, and continued to lower his voice and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Let's go! Don't look back! ”

Taiping gritted his teeth and was about to leave, but the soldiers in the distance had already seen the two of them and shouted, "You two, what are you doing standing there? Come here yet! ”

The middle-aged man originally wanted to push Taiping away, but after hearing this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he shook his head at Taiping with hatred: "You! If they had snuck away just now, they might not have found out. ”

Taiping looked at the bow and arrow that the soldier was carrying behind his back, knowing that if he really ran away just now, he was afraid that he would be shot with an arrow. Even if he escapes by luck, this middle-aged man who obviously has a lot to do with him may not be able to escape.

Now there is no escape, although the future is uncertain, Taiping is still secretly relieved. Now that he occupies this Shanzi's body, if he indirectly kills this middle-aged man, he will definitely be unhappy in his heart.

The mountains are so dangerous, but this person has been helping the mountains for several years, and this affection alone is moving. Although the mountain he helped was probably dead, but when he woke up today, this man gave him food after all, and took him out of the dangerous mountains and forests, and he had to remember this kindness.

It is probably because he owed too many people when he was forcibly bound by the faint monarch system, and now that he is a man again, Taiping is unwilling to owe others again.

At this time, a soldier saw that they had not yet passed, and had already impatiently approached with a weapon. The weapon in his hand was a spear, and the tip of the spear had already been notched, obviously used for a long time, and it was badly damaged.

Taiping could see at a glance that this spear was eliminated.

Since this soldier uses such a spear, it is obvious that he has no status. He looked at the soldier quietly, guessing in his heart, gathering as much information as possible that would be useful to him.

It's a pity that these people are really barbaric.

After the soldier came over, he first scolded the two of them with a vicious attitude, and then said: "Now that the autumn harvest will be coming soon, the Tartars in the north will definitely come to raid the border again, so the prince ordered the conscription and waited for the Tartars to come, so as to teach them a painful lesson, so that they will not dare to harass the border in the future." You two are just the right age, come with me. ”

As soon as he heard this, Taiping's heart jumped violently.

Rajah? Which prince? Could it be Gao Haichong? But no, he clearly remembered that Gao Haichong had been placed under house arrest by the prince Gao Zijian, how could he personally order the conscription?

If it is Daning here, it can only be Gao Zijian who pretends to be in the name of Gao Haichong, the king of Ning, to recruit troops privately!

What does he want to do? Could it be that you still want to rebel?

Thinking of this possibility, Taiping's face suddenly sank, and he was extremely disgusted with Gao Zijian.

Thinking that Gao Zijian was bound by the Faint Monarch system, the disgust in Taiping's heart turned into hatred for the Faint Monarch system. If it weren't for that damn faint monarch system, how could he have been a faint monarch for so many years? even indirectly killed Empress Yuan!

Although Empress Yuan was reincarnated as He Aya, he was regarded as a continuation of his relationship, and successfully gave birth to Gao Zixin. But when he thought of the appearance of Empress Yuan when he died, Taiping felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Before, he didn't know that Empress Yuan was He Aya's previous life, and his feelings for Empress Yuan in his heart were extremely complicated, and more often he felt guilty. After all, Empress Yuan is a long past for him, and he has already fallen in love with He Aya, even if he recalls Empress Yuan, he can't like it much.

But now that he learned that Empress Yuan was He Aya's previous life, his feelings for Empress Yuan were not only guilty, but also had more love and heartache. Especially when he thought of Empress Yuan dying with a big belly, he felt painful.

When the soldier saw Taiping's ugly face, he immediately scolded angrily: "What kind of expression are you? Why, is it possible that you still want to disobey military orders? ”

As he spoke, he raised his spear in his hand.

When the middle-aged man saw the spear in his hand, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly blocked Taiping behind him, and cowered and begged for mercy: "Master Jun's life!" My nephew has not had a good brain since his daughter-in-law was eaten by a big worm in the mountains, and he refused to come out when he hid in the mountains, so I only pulled him out today. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Taiping's dirty face and full beard: "Master Jun, look at what a good person has become, he is not dissatisfied with you, he must hate those Tartars, you ...... Spare him. ”

The soldier glanced at Taiping, and saw that he really didn't look like a normal person, and then thought of his dead daughter-in-law, and felt a little sympathy in his heart, so he waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and follow me!" ”

Although he knew that Taiping had a problem with his brain, he still didn't say that he didn't want Taiping, obviously he urgently needed to gather the number of people.

Taiping lowered his head and let the middle-aged man pull him away like a fool. Just thinking of the other party's unscrupulous number of people, his heart kept sinking.

If you really want to fight, you won't let a fool go to the battlefield, since the other party doesn't dislike him for being stupid, it can only show that they are just going to be cannon fodder.

It's a pity that the arrow has to be sent, he has been discovered now, it is not easy to escape, it is better to act at the opportunity, take one step at a time.

It just so happened that he also wanted to see if this matter was Gao Zijian's ghost.

Taiping walked all the way over, and found that many young people in the village had been arrested. I can't help but sigh in my heart, these people are really unscrupulous, and meat and vegetables are not taboo.

The youngest of these arrested people is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest is already in his fifties. If they really let them go to the battlefield, I'm afraid they can only give the enemy a head!

Taiping's hand hidden in his sleeve couldn't help but clench his fists, and he hated Gao Zijian to the extreme. When he was accused, he was never so confused!

Just now, he had already heard some soldiers mention King Ning, and he completely understood in his heart what was going on with this qiē!

Gao Zijian had the audacity to wantonly recruit troops in the name of Gao Haichong, the king of Ning, and even under the banner of fighting against the Tartars!

This is the territory of Daning, and the people here naturally hate the Tartars. Gao Zijian is under such a banner, even if the means are more violent, he will not worry about not being able to recruit soldiers.

It's a pity that Taiping knows very well in his heart that Gao Zijian, who is bound by the Dull Jun system, will never be able to fight against the Tartars, and it would be good if he didn't let those Tartars enter the customs!

Thinking of this, Taiping's face suddenly changed - that Gao Zijian, could he really want to let the Tartars enter the customs?

He shook his head violently, trying to convince himself that it was impossible, but when he thought that Gao Zijian was bound by the Faint Monarch system, Taiping had no way to deceive himself.

He was forcibly bound by the Faint Monarch System, and even for years, the Faint Monarch System has been trying to bewitch him. Even if he is strong-willed and has the Tao of the faint monarch system, how can Gao Zijian not be fooled?

Taiping's face became more and more ugly, and he suddenly realized that instigating Gao Zijian to let the Tartars enter the customs may be the purpose of the Dull Jun system, and it is even likely that it is for this purpose that it found Gao Zijian!

No, he has to find a way to tell Gao Zixin the news!

Taiping made a decision in his heart, so he wanted to find an opportunity to pass the news to Gao Zixin, but unfortunately, since they were taken out of that small mountain village, they had been marching, walking for several days in a row, and they were all picking the road of no one, and it was impossible to pass the news to Gao Zixin!

And Gao Zijian, who was hated by him, deliberately dried the middle-aged Confucian for several days, ordered someone to release him, and began to ask for benefits.

The middle-aged Confucian has been in prison for a few days, and he has never experienced such a hard life since he became the advisor of the Khan!

Although Gao Zijian didn't let him be punished, just having water and steamed buns every day was enough for him to be uncomfortable.

So after seeing Gao Zijian again, although he knew that this qiē was Gao Zijian's calculation, and also understood that Gao Zijian deliberately wanted to ask for a price, he still agreed after some bargaining.

Anyway, Yechai Khan didn't want to go back when he entered the Central Plains this time, and they wouldn't honor these benefits at all! When the time comes, how Gao Zijian will take it, how to send it back!
