In the blink of an eye, it was winter, and during this period, she went to Kyoto once, but she came back in three or four days, but this time she went out and came back, and Yi Mo clearly felt the change in her cultivation, but she didn't show it on her face and didn't say anything.

The border battle is getting more and more intense, the emperor intends to recruit soldiers, and the news will come down soon, if Lixiu is really just an ordinary person in Xinghua Village, he will naturally not be able to escape the order to enter the barracks.

And this time I felt that it was an opportunity.

A good opportunity to bring Yimo into Beijing and let her know his identity.

Therefore, he will deliberately show his sorrow inadvertently, and he will also deliberately look at Yimo in a daze until he is caught by her.

Xinghua Village is very close to the national capital, and on the third day after returning from Xiu, the news in the court came down, and Yimo didn't know about it before, so he still said happily.

"Who did you hear this from?" Yimo cried out in surprise.

Huanxi's arms were grabbed by Yimo hard, his face showed a sluggish appearance, and he said in a daze: "Everyone in the village said this, and said that tomorrow an official messenger will come to read the holy will." ”

Yimo bit her lower lip, pulled her leg out of the room, found the monk, and asked eagerly: "Brother, I heard Huanxi say that the Holy Lord wants to recruit soldiers, is this true?" ”

"I've heard about this when I was in Kyoto, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!" Li Xiu's face was a little complicated, this time the marshal who led the troops was his father.

Although he knew very well that his father would not have an accident in this battle, he couldn't help but be worried, after all, he could be reborn, and many things might change.

"It turned out to be true!" Yimo lowered his little head in frustration and muttered suddenly: "You have been unable to give up for the past few days, is it because of this incident?" ”

Li Xiu glanced at Yi Mo with a complicated expression, neither admitting nor denying it.

Yimo thought he had guessed correctly, so he didn't continue to dwell on this matter, but only asked: "The Holy Recruit Soldiers, can we replace people with silver?" ”

"Yes!" Lixiu replied in the affirmative, but silently gave a negative answer in his heart.

Early the next morning, the village chief gathered all the villagers together and told him about it.

Joining the army to protect the family and defend the country, not everyone has this kind of awareness, and most of the people are more concerned about their own food and clothing, so when they heard the news, they wailed.

The village chief nodded to the messenger who had come to read the decree, and then forcefully announced to the villagers that they would only give everyone a three-day period.

In wartime, it has always been a household to draw a ding, and this time it is the same.

When Yimo walked home silently along the road with Lixiu, when he saw Aunt Bolt who was one step behind, he couldn't bear to walk over and said, "Aunt Bolt, don't worry too much. ”

"How can you not worry! The bolt and his father went early, and I and the bolt have depended on each other for all these years, and now he doesn't know if he has come back. Aunt Bolt's face wrinkled into bitter melon.

Yi Mo optimistically explained, "Although it is a household that draws one ding, as long as the corresponding amount of silver taels is handed over, it can be exempted." ”

Aunt Xuan glanced at Yi Mo with a resentful look, "I don't know, it's just that our family can get so much silver under such conditions!" ”

If one person is exempted, the tax to be paid is at least ten taels upward, and an ordinary farmer can't save so many taels of silver for a year or two.

Yimo glanced left and right, and saw that the villagers on the same road were all hanging their heads and looking preoccupied, and no one noticed them talking, so he whispered in his ear.

"Aunt Bolt don't worry, anything that can be solved with silver is nothing! Grandma passed away these days, thanks to you and Brother Bolt taking care of me, I won't let Brother Bolt go to the barracks, and I will pay his taxes. ”

Aunt Tie was overjoyed, and felt embarrassed and said, "How embarrassing is this, how can we take your money, or else!" Treat it as if we borrowed it from you. ”

Yimo raised her hand, made a shushing gesture, and looked at the other people on the same road, and Aunt Tie didn't dare to say more.

Perhaps among the sons of the family, they prefer to drill into the barracks, because what they want is an opportunity to make a contribution, but for ordinary people, what they pursue is completely different.

Iron does not nail, good men are not soldiers.

As far as they are concerned, if they can't get along, no one will go to the barracks.

Aunt Bolt followed Yimo home, and Ai Ai said that she wanted to borrow the money, but the repayment period would be longer.

With Mo Ming's aunt, she belongs to the type of person who is not exhausted.

Don't look at her as a widow with a big child, but she never takes advantage of others.

Yi Mo said that Aunt Xuan did not agree to let her help, she had no choice but to agree to borrow silver, but she did not want to return the silver in her selfish heart.

After all, ten or twenty taels of silver is nothing to Yimo, and she cares more about the sincerity of Aunt Bolt's mother and son to her, which is not something that can be calculated by silver taels.

In the blink of an eye, the three-day deadline was reached.

There are a lot of lone seedlings like bolts in the village, and some families scrape together to borrow money to prevent their sons from joining the army, but some families can't think of a way to smash pots and sell iron, so they can only watch their sons die with tears.

After all, ordinary people like them are the life of vanguard soldiers when they enter the barracks, and generally eleven out of ten can die, and few people really make meritorious contributions.

Yimo followed Lixiu with the silver, and this matter was originally done by Lixiu himself, but Yimo was not at ease and insisted on following.

In addition, Lixiu wanted Yimo to see something, so he didn't stop it.

"My brother doesn't join the army, this is my brother's tax on people, you count!"

When it was his turn to leave, Yimo eagerly stepped forward to hand over the silver.

The village chief glanced at him and glanced at the official who was doing the registration, and the official slowly looked at Yimo, raised his chin haughtily and said, "No, he must join the army." ”

Yi Mo's peach blossom eyes were as big as copper bells, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Why? ”

The bolt was before them, obviously he could do it, but it would not work when it was his turn to leave the cultivation.

Aunt Bolt got Yimo's good, and after finishing the matter of the bolt, she didn't rush back, but stood aside and waited for Yimo and them to go back together.

"This official, is there a shortage of silver? Or is there something wrong with it? ”

The official glanced at Aunt Bolt with a squint, and faced Yimo's arrogant order, "Okay, don't trouble me here, hurry back and pack up and prepare to enter the camp." ”

"Why! Why can anyone else, but not my brother, aren't you bullying people? Yimo was so anxious that his face changed.

Li Xiu had already guessed that this would be the result, after all, the rumors that he let the small actions that Rising Sun did in private were not in vain.

"Okay, the official said no, don't make trouble! If you have time to make trouble here, you might as well go back early and see what you can prepare for your brother. "The village chief came out to play a round.

Yimo glared at him unappreciatively and asked, "You say, is it a ghost that you did?" ”

This official had never known their brother and sister before, and there was no reason why he would deliberately make things difficult for them, unless he was instructed to do so, and he could profit from it.
