When the people around them learned that the person in front of them was the general of Zhenguan, they didn't dare to squeak, and if they were not careful, they would lose their lives, and of course they were afraid of their recklessness just now.

Except for Li Chu.

Speaking of Li Chu, his real name is Chu Li, the second prince of Chu, but because of his background, he has been excluded, some time ago he was plotted by the eldest prince, and was sent to Wu to be an undercover agent.

"You guys who made trouble just now, according to the regulations, will be fined." Meng Sanqian paused, looked at the reactions of the people around him, everyone was swallowing their saliva, and he was very nervous, in such a poor place, who would have extra money to hand over.

"In view of the fact that you are first-time offenders, now I will give you one more choice, become a soldier of the Wu State, and get the money on schedule, if you are brave and righteous, the country will naturally not treat the families of the soldiers badly. You guys think about it and give me the answer. ”

Meng Sanqian's words moved many people's hearts, to be honest, living in this place, life and death are unknown, and now that the war is coming, it is even more so, if it is an army, at least there is no need to worry about food and clothing, if you are lucky enough to survive, maybe you can live in a different place, and you can be regarded as a good place.

"Okay, I'm willing to join." One of the young men was the first to raise his hand to show his willingness to join, and the rest of the people also said they were willing to join. Seeing this scene, Meng Sanqian showed a satisfied smile.

But Li Chu didn't speak for a long time.

"You go to the barracks to register with the adjutant, and you can withdraw a month's worth in advance." After Meng Sanqian arranged everything, the people who were fighting walked towards the barracks in groups. Li Chu also followed the crowd and was also preparing to leave.

"You don't have to go, you just follow me." Meng Sanqian grabbed Li Chu's arm and said.

Li Chu was a little overwhelmed by this sudden move. He couldn't figure out why he felt that Meng Sanqian was a little too good to him.

"Following you?"

"Yes, from now on, you will be my staff, as long as you follow me." Meng Sanqian said very seriously, and for a while, Li Chu thought that he was hallucinating.

Meng Sanqian continued his patrol, but there was one more person behind him - Li Chu. Li Chu is also a person who knows how to measure, he always keeps a distance of one meter from Meng Sanqian, when Meng Sanqian walks fast, he appropriately accelerates his pace, and when Meng Sanqian slows down, he also slows down, as if he has a tacit understanding.

"General, I have already settled those people just now, because they are local residents, so I gave them a night to say goodbye to their families." Adjutant Guo reported his actions, but his eyes stayed on Li Chu.

"Well done." Meng Sanqian praised it, but did not introduce Li Chu.

"General, who is this?" Adjutant Guo still didn't hold back, the general never let people follow him, and where did this person come out of nowhere.

"Li Chu, my staff, tell me to go down, and from now on, he only needs to obey my orders." After Meng Sanqian finished speaking, he was ready to go back to his camp tent, but Li Chu, now that he has just arrived, it is better to follow Adjutant Guo to familiarize himself with the situation of the barracks.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that Li Chu was not following him, Meng Sanqian turned his head and asked.

"When I first arrived, I thought I should follow Adjutant Guo to familiarize myself with the environment of the barracks." Li Chu was very serious, but Adjutant Guo obviously noticed that Meng Sanqian's mood was not high.

"No need, Li Gongzi, if you follow General Meng, you will naturally be able to hear and see it soon, and it will not be in this moment to understand the situation in the military camp." Adjutant Guo hurriedly cleared up, he didn't want to be implicated.

Realizing that he might have said the wrong thing or done the wrong thing, Li Chu kept up with Meng Sanqian's pace, but still didn't figure out why Meng Sanqian was angry. Forget it, whatever, anyway, I just want the world.

In the past few days since he came to the barracks, Li Chu has followed Meng Sanqian back and forth in the barracks every day, as Adjutant Guo said, in the past few days, he has a good understanding of the situation in the barracks.

A few days later, Adjutant Guo gathered the people Meng Sanqian had recruited a few days ago, and everyone was talking to each other, not knowing what they were going to face next.

At this moment, Meng Sanqian walked in, and this time he was not followed by Li Chu.

"Hello General." These days, they can be regarded as learning to become a qualified soldier.

"Everyone, since you have joined the army, you must obey orders and serve the country, and today, you will usher in the first mission of enlistment, which is a dangerous mission, but I can promise you that if you are martyred, I will relocate your family to a safe place and ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Of course, if you don't want to go, you can quit now and just be an ordinary soldier. Everyone, choose. ”

Meng Sanqian's words made everyone even more restless, listening to the meaning of his words, it is obvious that there is no return on this trip, isn't this exchanging his life for money?

"Isn't this just exchanging your life for money?" One of the outspoken people spoke their minds.

"It's a death to you." Just when everyone was chattering, Li Chu's words came over, and everyone's eyes were attracted, of course, they were also curious about what his words meant.

As for Meng Sanqian, he was still a little surprised to see Li Chu's arrival, he specially picked a time for Li Chu to rest before talking about this matter, he just didn't want Li Chu to participate in this matter, but he didn't expect him to come.

"As far as the border pass is concerned, if you don't have it, it's gone, not to mention that there is a big war coming soon, is there any difference between this life and the loss? But if you are martyred, your family can live in a different place, from no life to no life, isn't this helping you? ”

Li Chu didn't panic at all, and sorted out his thoughts one by one, but this idea made the people who were originally ready to quit reconsider their thoughts one after another, and after finally weighing, most of them chose to continue to participate in this mission.

"In that case, let's go back and prepare first, and in an hour, we'll be on our way." Meng Sanqian arranged everything, and only Li Chu was still standing behind him.

"How did you show up?" Meng Sanqian turned his head and looked at Li Chu with a smile.

"Didn't you ask me to follow you?" Li Chu's innocent look made Meng Sanqian smile even more happily, it seemed that keeping him by his side really added a lot of fun to himself.

"Okay, it's not too early, you go back and rest, you can be in charge of patrolling the barracks in the past few days of my absence to make sure that no one makes trouble." Meng Sanqian finished explaining the matter, but a trace of nervousness increased sharply in his heart, it was really ridiculous, he didn't expect that one day, he Meng Sanqian would also worry about his life.

"I'll go too, since I promised to follow you, of course I can't miss the appointment." Li Chu still said the most provocative words to Meng Sanqian with a harmless expression. Of course, Li Chu's original intention was not like this, he just wanted to get close to Meng Sanqian, and after thinking about it for the past few days, Li Chu found that the best way to achieve his goal of unification was through Meng Sanqian.

"Okay, let's go back and rest first." Meng Sanqian readily agreed.

Back in the tent, Meng Sanqian was still a little hesitant, thought about it for a while, and instructed Adjutant Guo to inform Li Chu that the time would be postponed for two hours and let him sleep for a while.

An hour passed quickly, and the others were dressed up as the original border people, gathering outside the barracks on time, and did not see Li Chu's figure, Meng Sanqian was still a little lost, but when he thought about it, it was also a good thing that he was safe and sound.

"Let's go."

The road they took was learned by Meng Sanqian by asking an old man here, and there was no one on the way, and they could reach the territory of Qi from the border of Wu State silently. The border passes of Qi and Wu are very different, and so are the monarchs of the two countries.

King Qi is also a maverick among many national monarchs, there are no harem concubines, only one wife, one daughter and one son, no harem for favor, no intrigue between princes, and a harmonious family has also become synonymous with the royal family of Qi. As for Qi Siyuan, the prince of Qi State, he has been smart since he was a child, proficient in literature and martial arts, and he can be regarded as a great talent, and the King of Qi has cultivated him as the future monarch of Qi since he was a child.

Of course, this Qi Siyuan is not only talented, but also very good to the people of his country, and the first thing he did after becoming the prince was to help the people at the border improve their lives. First of all, the living conditions, although the border pass is very desolate, but Qi Siyuan still led the craftsmen, eliminated all difficulties, and finally, built a spacious house, he also proposed to plant green plants, improve the environment of the border pass, it is his persistence, there is a step by step improvement of the border pass of Qi State, and there is everything that Meng Sanqian sees in front of him now. Today's border pass of Qi has the charm of the capital of Wu, and even opened an inn for attracting tourists.

Meng Sanqian, who was young and vigorous, also had such an idea, and made suggestions several times, but the Empress Dowager Wu was unwilling to spend money in this useless place, so there was a gap between the border gates of the two countries, which was obviously not far apart, but it seemed to be a century apart.

"The two of you pretended to be homeless people, and the two of you disguised themselves as beggars, begging near the barracks and observing the movements of the army, and the two of you were left to find out the topography of the place, the distribution of houses, and the points where the people lived. I live in this inn, you find a different time to come here every day to report the situation to me, this money is taken, as for the food expenses of these days, as for the time of departure, I will inform again. ”

After arranging everything, Meng Sanqian checked into the inn. As for those who came together, according to Meng Sanqian's arrangement, they all arrived at their posts.
