Chapter Ninety-Nine: Departure
Suddenly, Lin Xiu only felt that someone was stabbed in the waist, and when he turned around, Li Hu was glaring at him, but in the next second, the heavy whip had already been whipped on his head. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Boy, why are you stunned by the adult's lecture? Give Lao Tzu a long memory, otherwise be careful of the flesh and skin you are waiting for! ”
The conscripts yelled at Lin Xiu with a black face, Lin Xiu stretched out his hand to cover his face, and only pressed down the redundancy in his heart and the stuffiness for no reason, after all, he carried the name of the student on his back, and he was clear about how ruthless the military rules were.
On the stage, the conscription order also noticed the situation here, and he said to the soldiers beside him: "Remember that Qingding, the student of Licheng Academy, the businessman's family, interesting, is generally a piece of jade, as for whether it can be put on the table, it depends on his own creation!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The pro-soldier received the order, and then took out the military service book, found Lin Xiu in the Linshui Qingding roster, and immediately drew a circle on it....

Li Cheng, the county guard's mansion.
The county guard Chen Ke was whispering to the person at the head, next to the head, Yang Mao stood with his hands in his hands, and when Chen Ke's words fell, Yang Mao turned to the head of the head: "Your Highness, so this Li, Yan, Lin, and Xiang can recruit more than 30,000 soldiers." ”
On the first seat, King Jing Yuyin of Qin was very irritable, this time his father asked him to come to inspect the conscription decree of the four cities in the north, but let the third brother King Yan go to his own rule to collect, so what is his intention? Find out about the situation of his Hexi army?
"Your Highness! Your Highness! ”
Yang Mao called in a low voice twice, and seeing that Jing Yuyin was still pondering, Yang Mao waved at Chen Ke, and Chen Ke respectfully retired.
"Master, what do you mean when you say that my father let my third brother serve under my rule? Is it that those barbarians really went south, and this group of farmers who had just been recruited could resist it? Don't rely on our Hexi Army and the Liaoyuan Army in the North! ”
"Your Highness, as a courtier, don't be suspicious of Your Holiness, you are a son and a general, as long as you obey Your Majesty's will, you must not be suspicious!" Yang Mao whispered, but the King of Qin has an upright temperament, he is keen on killing the territory, but he is very disgusted with the changing political path of the court, otherwise he would not have ordered the remote border fortress alone!
"Your Highness, this is the roster of the four cities, and now the Qingding in some places has been assembled, how to integrate the team depends on your decision!" Yang Mao handed a thick conscription book to Jing Yuyin.
Jing Yuyin glanced at it hastily, and said in a deep voice: "Jin Yu, you can integrate these Qingding soldiers!" ”
"The last general obeys!" The rough voice fell, and a man in armor flashed behind Jing Yuyin, as Jing Yuyin's personal guard commander, although Jin Yu was a martial artist, but that calm and meticulous mind allowed Jing Yuyin to rest assured that some military affairs would be handled by him.
Then Jing Yuyin said to Yang Mao: "Master, I think the last time I came here, it was ten years ago, when my father commanded the army to go north through Yancheng, I stayed here for a few days, gathered the cavalry to escort grain and grass, or did you come forward to plan the squire and eunuch in the city for me, and now in a blink of an eye, so many years have passed..."
"Your Highness, the years are urging people to grow old, seeing that Your Highness is becoming more and more powerful and wise, and the old minister doesn't know how long he can serve you..."
Jing Yuyin listened, and his heart was sour: "Master, don't say that, let's go, go to your school today and see how many pillars of the Xia Dynasty you have brought out over the years... By the way, master, if there is any vulgar son who causes trouble in your academy, if there is, I will immediately take him down..."
"Hahaha..."Yang Mao stroked his beard and laughed: "With the authority of His Royal Highness, who dares to go around my old man's mansion..."
Liaocheng, Dongzhou, the residence of the royal camp.
"Your Highness, it's time to eat!"
King Qi's close attendant Wang Jun tiptoed to the desk to complain, after the case, King Jing Yutian of Qi was busy with the conscription and tuning the spirit, and he didn't know that Wang Jun had come to urge him three times.
"Your Highness, you can leave these things to the county guard to do, why do you have to do it yourself, be careful of getting tired!" Wang Jun couldn't bear it, persuaded in a low voice, and after a while, Jing Yu Tiancai took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Call me the marching Sima Li Moran and the county guard Sun Daoqian!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Jun knew that Jing Yutian didn't listen to his words at all, and in desperation, Wang Jun hurriedly summoned Li Moran and Sun Daoqian into the hall.
"The last general, Li Moran, knocked on His Royal Highness the King of Qi."
"Xiaguan Sun Daoqian knocked to see His Royal Highness the King of Qi."
Jing Yutian got up and knocked down the two of them with the conscription book sorted out in his hand, just this one action, Sun Daoqian and Li Moran suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Liaocheng is the richest and most populous place in Dongzhou, even if there are five households and one ding according to the order, more than 40,000 people can be conscripted, and now you only recruit more than 12,000 people for me, is it possible that you are playing this king!"
As soon as these words came out, Yin Zhongdang, the commander of the guards behind the King of Qi, stepped up, and the guards on both sides of the palace also stepped forward, just waiting for the King of Qi to give an order to take down the two traitors!
"Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins!"
The two immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Sun Daoqian wiped the Han on his head with his sleeve, and said timidly: "Your Highness doesn't know anything, and if your subordinates don't do their best, it's really... It's really..."
Jing Yutian's face was as cold as frost, his eyebrows furrowed sharply, and he was angry: "Say, dare to mess with a word, be careful of your two heads!" ”
"Don't dare, your subordinates will definitely not dare!"
Sun Daoqian gasped in a trembling voice and said: "Your Highness, this Liaocheng is indeed the richest and most populous place in Dongzhou, but it is also the most prosperous place where the silver money substitution law is most popular. ”
Speaking of this, the marching Sima Li Moran interjected: "Your Highness, Li Junshou only said one thing, and the other is the second, that is, the rich families in Liaocheng, Fengcheng, Yucheng and other places are closely tied to the official family, and there are some situations that neither of us can restrain them!" ”
"Go on!"
Jing Yutian had already smelled something else, Li Moran and Sun Daoqian glanced at each other, knowing that they couldn't avoid this disaster, so they simply said it bluntly.
Sun Daoqian arched his hand and continued in a low voice: "The Zhuang clan, the largest family in Liaocheng, has thick roots and leaves, and under this conscription order, a single dealer will have more than 40 people, but Zhuang Yanshuo, the head of the Zhuang family, is an old thing, and only 10,000 yuan of silver will be used to replenish the military expenses. ”
As soon as Sun Daoqian's words fell, Jing Yutian was already furious, and he said angrily, almost making Sun Daoqian pee his pants in fright.
"Come on, immediately go and bring the old beast of the Zhuang family to this king, as a citizen of Xia Jing, only care about the family and ignore the law of the country, the sin is unforgivable!"
"The last general commands!" The tiger's roar was dull, and Yin Zhong, the commander of the guards, immediately went out of the palace to get people, but Li Moran said urgently: "Your Highness, don't be like this, don't be like this!" That dealer with... And... His Royal Highness the King of Qin's relationship is extraordinary..."
"What?"
Hearing this, Jing Yutian's face turned stunned, cold and angry: "It's him again...."
"Your Royal Highness, Zhuang Yuhua, the daughter of the Zhuang family, is the concubine of His Royal Highness the King of Qin... I'm waiting... I really don't dare to offend..."

The morning sun rises, the mist is fluttering, the cold breath of the north is scattered on the earth with the soft light, when the sun shines on the three poles, the whole Linshui village is silent, with the silence chasing outward, on the Gangzi Hill outside the village, almost all the people of Linshui Village are gathered here, their eyes are sad, and some are full of tears.
On the official road in the distance, a black shadow like a long dragon moved slowly, look carefully, the immature figure almost wanted to fall under the cold breath, the spear on the shoulder was as weak as a willow branch, which made people very difficult, these Qingding disciples who didn't even understand the meaning of life, how to survive on the terrible battlefield...
"Brother Xiu, look there..."
During the march, when the team was about to leave the waterfront boundary, Lin Xiu, who was lost and hesitant, was awakened by Li Hu's low voice, and looked up, on the sloped valley mound in front, there were two faint figures that could be down, and in an instant, Lin Xiu's mind froze, and his heart was broken.
"Miss... You shouldn't have come... You're coming... Lin Gongzi will be even more uncomfortable..."
Xiao Yue'er sobbed in a low voice, beside her, with the stubbornness and unyielding in her heart, where is Chen Shuling on the line of life and death, relieves her life, she keeps looking at it, but the black pressure like a stream of water is like a shaking dust particle, how can she find the person in her heart? But she knew that Lin Xiu must be able to see herself, and see that she has not forgotten her original intention behind her for 20 years...

Zhongdu, the palace of nourishing the heart.
"Ahem..."
A heavy cough emanated from Zun's already old body, and Huang An immediately scolded the eunuch on duty for not having eyesight, and actually opened the court window, and His Majesty was invaded by the cold.
Under Huang An's resentment and anger, several strong guards came in from outside the hall, and in the face of invisible high pressure, no matter how the little eunuchs knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Huang An was unmoved, but a breath came out after the gauze tent: "Forget it!" ”
Hearing this, Huang An immediately knelt on the ground to receive the order, and then he said to a few little eunuchs: "The things born by fools, Your Majesty is gracious, all of them will be rolled to our family to the criminal room to receive thirty accounts!" ”
After disposing of these short-eyed minions, Huang An came to the dragon bed, served the soup bowl, and Emperor Cheyenne took a few sips and said, "How is the conscription?" ”
"The courtiers of the Zhongshu Pavilion and the military department are waiting outside the hall to let them in?"
Emperor Xia An nodded, and after three breaths, several ministers such as Taifu Qing Wei Huan, Zuo Cheng Tian Zhu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Xu Miao, Zhongshu Ling, and Zheng Qian, Zhongshu Ling, entered in turn.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest conscription order, in the west, His Royal Highness King Yan has conscripted more than 57,000 soldiers, in the north, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has enlisted more than 40,000 people, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi, in the east, has conscripted more than 80,000 people!" Tian Zhu whispered.
It's just that on the dragon bed, Emperor Xia An didn't react much, so the ministers didn't know what to do? Just stay where you are!
"Emperor Xiaowu... The Royal Guard... Zheng Qian, I plan to order..."
When Zheng Qian heard this, he hurriedly went up and knelt on the ground, and Huang An prepared pen and ink for him.
Two moments later, Wei Huan, Tian Zhu, Xu Miao, and Zheng Qian left the Heart Cultivation Hall together, and Wei Huan sighed: "Alas... And so on... Where will I be? ”
Tian Zhu immediately signaled him to shut up: "Remember that disaster comes from the mouth, at the moment, the sons are fighting, and the northern Xinjiang is unstable, if you lie here, be careful of the catastrophe..."
Speaking of northern Xinjiang, Xu Miao interjected: "Zhuqing, you said that the conscription of the new army is really to go north to the security realm? Will the barbarians really go south? ”
"Yes or no, it's not you and I can speak, everyone, let me go first!" Zheng Qian said a word and left quickly, while Xu Miao stared at his distant back and said secretly: "Old fox!" ”
"Your Majesty, this conscription of 170,000 new soldiers is really a lot... The three princes must have done their best to serve His Majesty..."Huang An said casually as Emperor Xia An covered his back.
"That's a lot... But... This Martial Emperor... Whether or not they can really take this opportunity to stand within the four armies depends on what the emperors do... May I be more hearted..."
When he said this, Emperor Xia'an's Mu Zi burst out with aging that could not be concealed, and even in a trance, he saw his former self, the majestic world, the dignity of the British king who stepped on all directions...
