Chen Yichen also looked helpless, even if he found two mules, he could run faster than a donkey. At this point, there is no choice, something is better than nothing. Turning over on the donkey, the two of them rode forward on the donkey and embarked on the road to the Luoping Plain.

After two days of riding a donkey, he finally came to a nearby city, Dingzhou City.

Although Dingzhou City is not big, it is also a prosperous place. Although there was a war going on in the country, the place was far from the border, and the people in the city lived in peace.

After entering the city, Chen Yichen's first thought was to change to two fast horses, but the entire Dingzhou City was transformed, not to mention the horses, the donkey could not be seen, and even more than one person stepped forward to ask if the donkey was for sale. Facing everyone's questions, Chen Yichen was annoyed and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Before the two of them reached the city gate, they heard someone behind them shouting: "The two men riding donkeys in front of them stand still." ”

Hearing the sound and turning around, seven or eight soldiers ran not far behind him, armed with spears, trotting all the way to the front and surrounding the two of them.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yichen looked at Bai Jingyu with a puzzled face.

"No.. I don't know. Bai Jingyu was even more confused than Chen Yichen, and when he saw the soldiers surrounding him, Bai Jingyu clenched his fists and asked, "Are you calling us?"

"Yes . . . Right.. Not.. That's right.. Hurriedly.. Donkey.. Get off the donkey. Out of the crowd came a man dressed as an officer, with a large knife straddling his waist, stammering, gesturing with his hands, and continuing in his mouth: "Donkey hair. Requisitioned.. Finish. ”

"Huh?" Chen Yichen and Bai Jingyu glanced at each other, and wondered at the same time, what kind of operation was this, and why was the donkey hair still requisitioned.

Chen Yichen turned over and got off the donkey, and hugged his fist in his hand: "This general, why is he so dignified to requisition donkey hair?"

"Phew... Bah.. Miscellaneous.. What the.. Donkey.. Donkey.. Donkey hair..."The officer stepped forward, raised his hand and patted the donkey's neck gently, and continued to stumble: "Mao... Hair.. Donkey.. The donkey was ... Attack.. Expropriation... Finish. ”

Looking at the officer's expression when he spoke, Chen Yichen almost laughed, just the last word, he actually said it several times. Holding back a smile, he asked, "Why are you requisitioning our donkeys?"

"Before.. Ahead... Bah.. You.. You said. The officer himself was in a hurry to speak, and dragged the soldiers beside him, raised his hand and gestured again and again: "Say..."

"The two of them, the war ahead, now need livestock to transport supplies, so the donkeys of the two were requisitioned. The soldier spoke politely, "Don't worry, we will give you the money for the two donkeys according to the market price, the price of one or two pieces of silver per donkey, and let the two of you register with us." ”

"One tael of silver? I spent twenty taels of silver for a donkey, and you want to buy it for one tael now?" Bai Jingyu's eyes widened, and his hand subconsciously clenched the reins.

"Twenty taels of silver? Do you think this is a thousand miles of solitary travel, less nonsense, the market price of a donkey is one or two pieces of silver, and that's more for you." The soldier pulled the reins and said, "Let go, if you don't let go, you will be put in prison, and when the time comes, don't say a tael, you won't get a penny." ”

"Give it to them, let's go see first, what's going on?" Chen Yichen grabbed Bai Jingyu's hand, and when he heard him say twenty taels, he already knew that Bai Jingyu had been deceived. Although Chen Yichen didn't know the price of the donkey, he also knew that it would definitely not reach the price of twenty taels of silver.

"Yes. Bai Jingyu glared angrily at the soldiers in front of him, if it wasn't for Chen Yichen to stop him, he would probably have knocked them to the ground at this time.

The two followed a group of soldiers, turned around, and came to the so-called registration place, the material transfer station set up in Dingzhou City. This is a two-entry courtyard, the door is not big, and the several donkey carts outside the door are full, and I don't know what they are loaded.

"Go, feed the two donkeys well, and go on the road with them when they have eaten and drunk enough. The soldier who led the donkey threw the reins to the servants, turned to the two men, and said, "Come in with me, and register for the money." ”

Just about to step into the courtyard, Chen Yichen's eyes swept casually, and suddenly found that there was a sign written on the lantern at the door, and suddenly remembered Jingzhao Mansion, the lantern was exactly the same, and immediately asked: "This military master, how can there be a sign on this lantern? Could it be that this place is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion?"

"Oh, I can't see it, you still know Jingzhao Mansion at a young age. The soldier glanced back at Chen Yichen, lowered his voice, and said, "It's good to know, don't make a noise, the people from Jingzhao Mansion are responsible for transporting the materials, and we are all seconded from elsewhere." Since you know Jingzhao Mansion, you should know what the consequences of offending them will be. After taking the money for a while, leave quickly, don't talk too much. ”

"Oh, I see, I didn't expect that the power of Jingzhao Mansion was not small. ”

As soon as Chen Yichen's words fell, he listened to the soldier continue: "Remember my words, don't talk too much, and save yourself from being arrested to be a mufu (hard labor)." ”

When I came in from the door, I saw a table in the courtyard at a glance, and in front of the table sat two people dressed in official uniforms, each with an account book in their hands, and they didn't know what they were counting.

"it, how about the two of them. The soldier frowned and whispered: "Two, I'm afraid your donkey is going to be confiscated, these two adults are really not a good thing, no matter what they say, don't squeak for a while." ”

The soldier motioned for the two to stand in place, stepped forward, bowed his head and said softly: "Two adults, the younger one has requisitioned two donkeys in the city, and they have come to register and make a record. ”

"Okay, got it, let's go down. One of them did not raise his head, but waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to stand down.

"Two adults, the donkey has been left, look at the money of the two donkeys..."

Without waiting for the soldier to finish speaking, he saw him slap the table, and without raising his head, he scolded angrily: "Go and ask them if they want to die or money." ”

"Of course it's a hell of a thing. Without waiting for the soldiers to reply, Chen Yichen preemptively said: "But the donkey and the money are also collected." ”

As soon as the words came out, the two adults raised their heads at the same time, looked at the two young people in front of them, turned their heads and said to the soldiers, "The donkey is theirs?"

"Back to the two adults, the donkey is indeed theirs. The soldiers were so frightened that cold sweat flowed down, and they looked at Chen Yichen vigorously and signaled him to shut up.

"Hmph, it's still two young people, yo, they still have weapons, have you practiced?" As soon as one of the adults finished speaking, he heard another person say: "Yes, just let them and the accompanying soldiers escort the supplies to the front line, maybe they can also make military achievements and glorify the ancestors, and don't forget the uncle's promotion of you when the time comes." ”

After doing it, what are you afraid of, the soldier stepped forward and said with a smile: "The two adults are joking, they are both local law-abiding people, they have practiced some martial arts, and they are also responsible for patrolling several nearby villages, right?" ”

The soldier was not bad, and intended to excuse the two of them, so he kept squeezing his eyebrows at the two, and signaled them to hurry up and get off the donkey.

"Hmph, the two adults are really full of authority. ”

Chen Yichen looked at the two people in front of him with a sneer, this was a big deal for the soldiers standing next to him, and said in his heart: It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the king of heaven can't save you.

"Hahaha, what an arrogant little boy. Whoever comes, first pull down the heavy forty military sticks. ”

With a wave of his hand, several soldiers rushed past the courtyard, and just as he was about to pull the two down, Bai Jingyu waved the snake spear, and was just about to make a move with the soldiers who rushed up, when he heard Chen Yichen shouting: "Slow." ”

"Why, scared and begging for mercy?"

Chen Yichen smiled without saying a word, slowly took out a token from his arms, shook it in front of the two, and said, "Can the two adults know this?"

"Shhhhh

The two adults glanced at each other, their eyes were round, and beads of sweat immediately flowed down their heads, and they hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said at the same time: "The subordinates see the superior, I don't know if the superior's arrival is far away, and I ask the adults to forgive me." ”

Seeing the two adults kneeling on the ground trembling like chaff, the soldiers reacted quickly, without saying a word, and fell to the ground with a pop.
