Rumors that the imperial court was going to recruit soldiers spread throughout Whitewater like wings.

Lin Mei returned home with the news uneasily, worried all night, and didn't know how to tell her family.

The next day, as soon as Lin Mei left, Lin Quan rushed back to Yangshu Village from the town early in the morning and went straight to the second brother's house.

"Second brother, it's not good." Lin Quan was tired and out of breath all the way.

"You drink some water, take a break, and speak slowly." After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he asked Peach to pour a glass of water for his fourth uncle.

Lin Quan was very anxious and said, "Then there is still time to drink water, something is wrong."

"What's going on?" Lin Xiao asked worriedly.

"The imperial court is going to recruit soldiers again, what do you think is the case." Lin Quan still had an impression of the conscription twenty-five years ago, but now that it was his turn, he was at a loss.

When Lin Xiao heard this, he was also taken aback.

"Is the news serious? Already posted a notice? Lin Xiao asked anxiously.

"The notice hasn't come out yet, but the news has spread all over the town, second brother, you are the most experienced in our family, do you say this news is accurate?" Lin Quan looked at Lin Xiao with blank eyes, looking forward to comforting himself by saying that this was fake news from his mouth.

"It's hard to say, I haven't heard of any war there recently, so it's impossible to recruit soldiers for no reason, there must be a reason. Think about how the news got around. Lin Xiao was also a little unsure of the truth of the news, and then said: "However, according to the past practice, no conscription from peasant households is allowed without war, which is stipulated by the laws of the imperial court. Otherwise, who will go to plant a banker. ”

When Lin Quan heard this, there were such regulations, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why don't I go to the town to inquire again, I got the news at the car dealer last night, and I didn't inquire about it in a hurry, so I took half a day off early this morning and rushed back." ”

Lin Xiao also knew that this was a big deal, so he didn't keep him anymore, and told him to pay attention to the notice wall, and immediately come back to inform him if there was news.

Lin Xiao sat on the chair and regretted that he didn't let Shanzi go to study earlier, but it was useless to regret it, he only hoped that the news was fake, otherwise this old bone would have to go to the battlefield again. But I was especially pleased to listen to Meizi's persuasion and let Shanzi go to study, if this Shanzi can be admitted to Xiucai in the future, this conscription will have nothing to do with his family.

No, you still have to supervise Shanzi to study more, and be admitted to Xiucai as soon as possible, so that your heart can be steady. Father Lin's previous attitude towards Shanzi like a sheep herding has undergone a major change because of this stimulus.

……

On the way to Taiyuan Mansion, four gorgeous carriages walked leisurely under the support of a group of black-clothed guards.

One of the carriages was wrapped in fine silk on all sides, with a black nanmu body, delicately carved with auspicious patterns, and the gold-rimmed windows were covered by a curtain of red soft smoke, through which a young man could be seen snuggled in the arms of a woman. Occasionally, the playful laughter of men and women could be heard from the car window.

Song Ye, the leader of the black-clothed guards, held the horse rope in his right hand and the handle of the knife at his waist in his left hand, looking around vigilantly.

Just then, the second carriage stopped.

"Stop." The leader, Song Ye, discovered the anomaly in the convoy.

I saw that on the stopped carriage, three girls came down, and one of the women in blue walked to the front carriage with the support of the girls on the left and right, and said to the carriage: "Sixth brother, can you rest here, my bones are about to shake apart, and I am tired from riding in the carriage." ”

"Hypocrisy, who told you to come along, if you are tired, this king will ask the guards to escort you back now." A man's voice was heard in the car.

"You don't scare me with this set, be careful that I go back and tell my uncle, so that you can't eat and walk around, hum!" The woman in blue said indifferently.

"Come on, you will only rely on my father's favor to me, even if I am afraid of you, you can rest if you want, it will be dark for a while and you will not be able to catch up with the inn, don't blame me for not reminding you." The lazy sound continued to come from the windows.

Huanxiang, the maid of the county lord of Jiaoyue, got the hint of the county lord, and saluted Song Ye, the head of the guards, and said: "Deputy Dianjun Song, the county lord is tired, I want to rest here, please go and settle down." ”

Song Ye is the deputy pawn of the guard team of the East Palace, and this time on the order of the crown prince, he escorted Liu Hao, the king of Qi, to Taiyuan Mansion to play, and congratulated the king of Qin on his accession to the domain. But who knew that when the county lord of Jiaoyue learned about this, he made a big fuss and had to go with the Qi Palace. The King of Qi was helpless, so he had to let the Lord of Jiaoyue go to Taiyuan Mansion together.

You must know that when Emperor Liu Yu was still the crown prince, he was ordered to go to Jialing Pass to resist Dazi's attack, which was five years, and the other princes in the palace were eyeing the position of the East Palace, and they all relied on their sister Princess Xiangyang to maneuver around in the palace and solve their worries.

On the day Emperor Liu Yu ascended the throne, he canonized Princess Xiangyang as the eldest princess of Xiangyang in the Ming Dynasty, gave the princess mansion, and sealed 300 households.

When the young daughter of the eldest princess of Xiangyang was born, the emperor visited the princess's mansion in person, and saw that the swaddling girl had exquisite facial features, looked like her mother, and looked at the emperor with her eyes slightly open.

Three years later, the eldest princess of Xiangyang died of illness, the emperor loved it, brought the county lord of Jiaoyue back to the palace, and handed it over to Concubine De to raise, Concubine De had no children under her knees, and when she saw the three-year-old princess of Jiaoyue, she loved her very much, and loved her as if she were his own.

Therefore, the county lord of Kyaukyue grew up with the prince and princess in the palace since he was a child, and he has a very good relationship with the prince and the six princes. This time, I accidentally heard that the sixth brother King Qi was going to Taiyuan Mansion to play, and he said that he would go with him.

At the beginning, the county lord of Jiaoyue, who was still very excited, began to complain again and again after a three-day boring trip, the convoy went less than two hours, and began to shout to rest, this way stopped and stopped, the trip naturally slowed down, and it took six days to see that it was still more than two hundred miles away from Taiyuan Mansion, which caused Song Ye, the leader of the guards, to be quite dissatisfied, and urged him to hurry up several times, for fear that something would go wrong on the road and mess up the errand.

As soon as Song Ye heard that the county lord of Jiaoyue was going to rest again, the king of Qi had no opinion, so he had to send people to check around, and the other pedestrians rested in place.

Seeing that there was a stream not far away, the lord of Kyaukyue County got up again, and asked the guards to catch fish, shouting for grilled fish to eat. Phantom Fragrance and Phantom Bamboo persuaded her, but they only stayed by the side of the Lord of Kyaukyue, afraid that she would fall into the water.

For a while, the originally quiet mountains and forests became active in the voices of these women. From time to time there was a bird's cry in the mountains and forests, and a pigeon circled in this group of people, and finally stopped on the carriage of King Qi, and grabbed the pigeon through the curtain with a jade hand, took off the bamboo tube, and let the pigeon out of the window.

"Master, it's news from the shadows." The woman in the car opened the bamboo tube and said.

"Read."

"If you want to be conscripted, do you want to stop it?" After the woman finished reading, she continued: "King Qin, can't you hold back, the emperor allowed him 10,000 personal soldiers, this is a good opportunity to take the opportunity to raise private soldiers." ”

King Qi stretched out his hand to open the curtains, looked at the frolicking woman not far away, and said, "King Qin is not so stupid, he has just arrived in the domain, and the land has not yet stepped on the heat, so he will not dig his own grave." Besides, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at Taiyuan Mansion, at most it is just pretending, this trick is a good way to lure the snake out of the hole, Mei Niang, send more people to the shadow, let the shadow continue to stare at. ”
