Chapter 209: Most of the time there is a problem
The maid hastened her pace and ran towards the house where the innkeepers were. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The courtyard where they lived was in the middle of the inn.
It's quieter than the nearest building facing the street, so there are fewer people in the inn here!
The maid thought in her heart that she had to do things as soon as the guard told her, as soon as possible and according to the young lady's instructions.
When the young man of the inn was called, the young lady of the inn would always explain to him what he had asked him to do.
When the time comes, she'll know exactly what to do.
Even if the young lady doesn't want to say it in front of herself, isn't there still a guy at the inn?
Or ask them the inside scoop!
When the escort lady arrives here, she must always make sure that she is safe and sound, in case something happens, she will have no face to go back to Suzhou!
...... After about a quarter of an hour in the tea shed, I walked back on the official road with the tsundere boy.
This time, because the distance is getting closer, it is not so urgent.
The tea shed is opened by an old couple near the official road, and there are guests from the north and south who go in to drink tea.
As a result, we also gained a lot of discussions in the tea shed, most of which were the ones I expected.
Most of them were comments on the conscription notices posted in the town by the King of Sealand.
To be honest, I wasn't that interested in anything else, except for a few words from the people at the table closest to us over tea, which caught my attention.
In the middle of their words, they mentioned the difficulty of recruiting people for this conscription, and also mentioned the beginning of conscription...... Or maybe there's something stuffy in it.
It seems that as long as the start of the war is put on the agenda, there will be similar situations everywhere!
After listening to this, my mind has been a little wandering, and I have been thinking about it with my head down when I walk on the road.
I seem to remember that the Sealand conscription was not uncommon elsewhere...... That time in Yuzhou......
The tsundere boy looked at me who was walking while bowing his head and thinking, and asked in a light tone: "Xiaoling, what are you thinking about when you came out of the tea shed after drinking tea?" ”
"What's wrong with the news I heard in the tea shed just now?"
The young man saw that I was not in a state, and said sarcastically in his tone: "Xiaoling, is it the tea you drank or was you poured ecstasy soup?!" ”
I looked at him again and then met his gaze and said, "Young Master, you must have heard it just now, right?" ”
"I heard them talking about conscription," I said, looking at him in reflection, "did you hear what the tea guy at the table next to us said?" They talk about the details of conscription all the time! ”
The young man looked at me and said, "Xiaoling, even you have heard it, your ears are much better than yours, of course you heard it!" ”
"Oh, young master, what do you think?"
I ignored the unpleasant part of his words and asked straight to the point.
"Eldest young master, will the matter of Wang Shi's recruitment in the town this time be as they discussed...... Got tired? ”
The young man looked at me strangely and said, "Xiaoling, you still need to ask!" ”
"It's a shame that you've claimed to have traveled a lot of places, such a common thing."
The young man's tone was very calm, and he looked like he didn't care about himself.
"Why do you ...... Isn't it the eldest young master, you also heard a lot about it when you were in Xilanan? ”
I stared at him, thinking about his reaction and expression, it seemed obvious.
What does it stand for? Of course, it means that he must have seen it more than once!
"That's right, a lot!"
The boy answered.
He turned his head to stare at me for a moment, his hand outstretched as if he was about to knock on my head again.
Seeing this, I quickly dodged, dodged quickly!
"Don't do anything you want, young master, if you have something to say."
I frowned at him.
"You won't be stupid if you knock it!"
"No way!"
...... Stopping on the mountain road again, I looked at the tsundere boy and asked, "Young Master, among the rumors you heard in the past, were they exposed during the conscription?" ”
"Xiaoling, why are you asking this?" The boy asked, looking at me intently.
"Curious, I want to know."
The young man paused in his tone, and continued: "As far as I heard, there must not be, never!" ”
"Are you so sure?"
The boy nodded at me and said, "Yes, because the two sides are like a deal." ”
"One side needs money, and the other side needs someone to replace it, of course, both sides have to talk about it."
I frowned and glanced at the tsundere boy, and secretly said in my heart, is it that simple?
He said in a natural tone: "Xiaoling, those who can come up with this kind of idea, almost all of them are rich and noble, even if the other side of the transaction wants to add a little silver, it is generally not a problem." ”
"However, this situation is rare, and it is usually almost always done at a fixed price."
After thinking about it, the young man continued: "I probably know something, I know that most of these people are willing to go to the battlefield, but most of them are not for themselves. ”
That's right, this sentence is also what Brother Shanmin said before, not for himself!
People are replaced, and the money traded is left to their families.
Some of them have foreign debts at home, or they have been sick for a long time and need medical expenses, or they are struggling to make ends meet, and their families are about to be unable to open the pot.
And so on for different reasons.
Of course, I know that there are some differences.
For example, the Gu family in the national capital, the Gu Qimei who impressed me, but their family went to be an officer, not to the pioneer camp to take risks.
I couldn't help but let out a long sigh, the boy had been looking at me all the time, and seeing my depressed look at the moment, he took a step closer to me and said, "Other people's affairs, what do you want to do so much, does it have anything to do with you?" ”
As soon as he spoke, he reminded me again: "Xiaoling, let's get to the town soon, cheer up and think about what you should think!" ”
What to think about, eh...... I retracted my thoughts.
In fact, even if the tsundere boy doesn't mention it, I do have a bunch of things to think about!
First of all, when we get to the town, I'm going to go to the town entrance and look at the signs.
I'm going to at least see it with my own eyes and figure out what's up there.
I know a notice can still see some hidden problems.
For example, the deadline for conscription, the location, the rhetoric at the top.
Then, I can listen to the reactions of those people around me, and the voices of the masses cannot be ignored.
Didn't the tsundere boy say that when he got to the town, he wanted me to follow him to meet the people of the Yuwen family?
Those guards who tracked all the way from Suzhou City to meet the eldest young master!
I thought a lot about it on the way here, and now I focused on thinking about what I had arranged when I got to town.
Before I knew it, my pace quickened.
The boy behind me also followed in my footsteps, and the two of them walked back and forth in the direction of the town.
...... The area around the entrance of the town is much more lively, and when we observe from a distance, we can see that there are more people who go in than people who come out!
The chattering voices in my ears reminded me that most of them had something to do with the notices posted by the kings in the town.
It seems that this conscription has indeed become a hot topic.
So many people are interested in the hot spots!
The young man took a step closer to me and stared ahead, "Xiaoling, in my opinion, this place is not very good, there are too many people, let's change the entrance and go in." ”
Unexpectedly, on the road in front of him, the tsundere boy changed his mind again!
I looked at him in amazement, at the fickle boy, and was speechless for a while.
This guy remembered that one is one out!
"Xiaoling, you have to believe me," the tsundere boy looked at me and said, "Every time I feel wrong...... Most of the time there is a problem, we have to be cautious! ”
The boy grabbed me by the arm and without hesitation led me down the path outside the town.
On the way, I saw a forest by a stream, and there were occasional mountain people passing by on the path, and occasionally there were horse-drawn carts pulling goods.
He grabbed me and said, "Xiaoling, for the sake of safety, let's do it before entering the town." ”
...... The tsundere boy walked in front and turned his head to look at me and smiled, I looked at him depressedly and said, "Young Master, what are you laughing at?" ”
"Xiaoling, your outfit is quite suitable."
"Look at me, the people of the Yuwen family shouldn't be so easy to recognize me, right?"
I looked at him in amazement, and only after a while did I speak: "Young Master, could it be that you lied to me, didn't you say that when you get to the town, you will go to meet the person who has been agreed a long time ago?" ”
He told me a lot on the way, saying that he originally planned to meet at the post station, but then he simply changed his mind and went directly to the town to meet, why has it changed now?
"I want to meet them, but I like to find them by myself, and I don't like to be found by them first!"
What's wrong with this guy!
"Young Master, you should play peek-a-boo, and you still have this hobby?"
"Xiaoling, I told you too much, you don't understand, anyway, you just follow me, just listen to me obediently."
The tsundere boy waved his hand and said decisively.
"Okay, what you're going to do is your business, that's it anyway."
The latter sentence is something I said in my heart, and I can't just say it to him.
"You're in town, have you decided on a location?"
As I recall, the tsundere boy seems to have mentioned a place that says it's a restaurant in town.
"I'm sure, but I'll have to take you to see the notice first," the young man pondered for a moment, and a faint smile crossed his lips, "I heard it from someone at the entrance of the town before!" ”
"It's said that there are several places in the town that have notices, so we just need to find a closer place."
...... I was buried in the haystack, my body slowly swaying with the bumpy carriage.
The tsundere boy not far away didn't move at all.
In this peculiar way, he led me into the town through another entrance.
The car stopped in a secluded alley, and the young man took out the money from his body and handed it to the mountain man who was driving the car.
The man left as if he were fleeing, without saying a word.
I looked at the young man and asked, "Young Master, can't we just come in?" To use this method, it is intended to ......"
"Xiaoling, don't you think it's fun?"
The tsundere boy had a smile on his lips when he spoke.
I glared at him, and said to myself, "It's fun for your sister!"
If the person who was interrogated just now found out, would he have pulled it away directly?
...... When I got out of the alley, I looked back at the path where the carriage had walked in the distance, and found that there were indeed many fewer people here.
It seems that the area with the most people is the one we were going to come in.
As I walked the streets of town with my boy, the map I had seen came to mind.
But at that time, my focus was not on this town, but on the next stop, the Northlands, which was closer to the battlefield, which I was more familiar with.
Fortunately, the town has a special feature, the terrain here is relatively easy to identify.
When you look up, it's not a staggered street, and the roads that come into view are almost all quite regular.
For road nerds, it is really a relatively convenient terrain.
I don't think I'll lose my way and lose my goal if I'm walking around town alone.
After thinking about the terrain, I think the most important thing I have to do first.
The clothes of the mountain people on my body, and the cloth wrapped around my head, are really ...... Appreciating incompetence.
With sharp eyes, I had already seen the ready-to-wear shops on the street not far away, and I couldn't help but look at the tsundere boy and said in a soft tone: "Young Master, can we change our outfits." ”
I didn't expect him to refuse in a second!
"No, it's good, it's very good," the young man's tone was unabashedly appreciative, "we won't recognize me when we get to the restaurant!" ”
"However, not many people from the Yuwen family know me in the first place," I blinked at him and said, "Young Master, besides, they may not come with me, can I change it?" ”
"Xiaoling, you're with me, do you still need to ask?"
"There's a shop selling clothes over there, I'd like to check it out!"
"Look at the notice first, you forgot?"
"yes, I almost forgot!"
"Xiaoling, you are a boy, thinking about dressing up all day long...... Does it matter what you wear? ...... As soon as I saw the clothes shop, I couldn't open my legs, you said last time that the family was sisters, Xiaoling ......? ”
I ignored him, stood in the street and looked around, and saw a crowd of people gathered around the corner who looked quite alike, so I quickly threw him down and trotted all the way over.
I scrambled through the crowd to see the contents of the notice posted on the wall.
The mountain people did not lie to us, and Wang Shi did set conditions.
According to the price of goods in Nanhua Town, the amount of silver paid is not a small amount.
And the onlookers around them, as mentioned in the words of the mountain people, watched the excitement mostly, anyway, no one in my ears said that they planned to join the army.
I stared at the sign a few times before I squeezed out of the crowd again.
The tsundere boy leaned against the big tree at the corner of the street, looked at me sideways with his elbows, saw me come out, and stepped forward and asked, "It's confirmed, it's okay with what the mountain people said?" ”
I nodded and said, "It's exactly the same, look at one notice, you don't have to look at the rest." ”
I approached the young man, glanced at him, lowered my voice and asked him, "Young Master, I said...... Where did you choose to meet with the people of the Yuwen family? (To be continued.) )
