Chapter 3: Enlistment in the Army

The group hurried during the day and rested at night, and finally arrived at Yuncheng, which was still two cities away from Yicheng in the evening five days later.

"Let's have a good night's rest tonight, and then go out tomorrow to find out some news, and then we will discuss the specific plan of action!"

Xu Mengmeng's heart was always a little uneasy before, so the group didn't rest much during the day, and the tiredness on their faces was obvious, but now that it was almost here, they were not in a hurry for a day or two.

"Young master, I heard that the Western Chu Kingdom is still quietly sending troops to Shicheng, and now the strength of Shicheng is almost seventy or eighty thousand, and Liu Jiang, who you asked us to investigate before, has news that this person has never been in contact with the people of the Three Princes and the Five Princes' factions.

There is nothing special about the towns near Qingzhou City, except that Jiangcheng in the south of Qingzhou City is rich in grain, and bandits are rampant in the Black Fog Mountain between Qingzhou City and Yongcheng in the north, and the government has been encircled and suppressed for several years without success......

"Okay, I know, Liu Jiang will keep an eye on it for a while, and send someone to check how many troops there are in Yicheng, and who is defending the city?"

Xu Mengmeng couldn't notice anything wrong for a while, so he could only send someone to continue to keep an eye on him for a while, hoping that Liu Jiang could show himself as soon as possible.

"Young master, young master, I heard that Yuncheng is recruiting troops now......"

"Qingli, how many times have I told you, don't be so unruly!"

"Okay, Lixing, Qingli is still young, it will be good when he is older in the future!"

"But young master, you are obviously younger than Qingli!"

"Qingli, you just said that Yuncheng is recruiting?"

"That's right, there are a lot of people lining up in the south of the city!"

"It just so happened that we could take the opportunity to sneak into the barracks, and someone handed me a pillow when we were really sleepy! In the seventh night, you and the three of you transferred all the weapons in the van to ......"

Wait, weapons? There are iron mines in Qingzhou City, and there is a lot of grain in Jiangcheng, and there are mountain bandits and bandits...... Could it be that someone is raising private soldiers on the Black Misty Mountain?

Xu Mengmeng was shocked by his thoughts all of a sudden.

Oh my! Yes, it must be! The person behind it is too powerful, it seems that he will have to be more cautious in his actions in the future! Fortunately, I was well prepared this time and had the experience of the previous life, otherwise I would have been exposed.

"Transfer the weapon to a safe and hidden place, and then go to the recruiting office to sign up, remember to change your outfit, it is best to look no different from a peasant man, and the name is the same when registering, the more ordinary and cheesy the better!"

Xu Mengmeng forcibly suppressed the shock in her heart and arranged the next thing.

Standing at the end of the line, seeing that Yinyue and the twelve of them had successfully entered the barracks, Xu Mengmeng's heart that had been hanging finally fell, and while thinking about the next plan, she lined up quietly, and soon it was her turn, and the expression on her face was even more relaxed.

"Boy, what's it called?"

"Ning Jun"

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen"

"It's only sixteen, no wonder it's so short! Are you so skinny, have you ever killed a chicken? ”

"I've never killed chickens, I've never killed fish!"

"What's the matter with your face, why is it still covered with a veil?"

"This is a mask, and the gauze is something for women! When I was a child, I met a bandit and hurt my face, and it was a little unsightly! Xu Mengmeng explained seriously.

"Really? What a bad opinion, take it off and I'll take a look! ”

Xu Mengmeng, a soldier, still has a lot of respect, so under the curious gaze of the man in front of him, he obediently took off his mask, revealing his miserable face after camouflage.

"Good guy, what's not good-looking, it's clearly a bump! Forget it, brother, look at you too, poor man! Hurry up and put that mask on it! Why did you come to be a soldier? ”

The registered man was also a little embarrassed when he saw the people around him pointing at the little boy in front of him, and his tone of voice couldn't help but soften a little.

"My father was seriously ill when I was a teenager, and I didn't say anything about it not long after, because I saw him and the family owed a lot of foreign debts, and it was not easy for my mother to pull us together.

Not long ago, my mother fell ill, in order to treat my mother, the only five acres of thin land left in the family were also sold two acres, my sister was sensible and ready to secretly sell herself to the rich and noble as a slave, fortunately, my mother forced her to die to break her mind, as the eldest in the family, I had to bear the burden of the family.

Although I know a few words, some strength but no skills, I heard that when I enter the barracks, I can get silver every month, and if I perform well, I can also be promoted and make a fortune, and I heard that there is a recruitment here, so I said goodbye to my widow and my younger siblings and rushed over! ”

Xu Mengmeng wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves full of patches, and at the same time told his "tragic life experience" with emotion and appearance, and received a lot of sympathetic eyes with satisfaction.

"Hey, brother, it will be fine in the future! My name is Daniel Zhang, don't worry, I'll cover you kid in the future! The registered soldier patted Xu Mengmeng on the shoulder with one hand and spoke proudly.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang!" Xu Mengmeng was very grateful on his face, but he scolded his mother in his heart, he had seen that this big man had a lot of strength, and he almost didn't let his bones fall apart when he slapped it with one palm!

No matter how unhappy Xu Mengmeng was in his heart, after observing the whole process of his own young lady pretending to be poor, the twelve horsemen and others couldn't close their mouths in surprise, everyone didn't feel anything after listening to Qingli and Yinyue talk about Qingzhou City before, but now they know that the two of them are really not exaggerating.

Although he successfully entered the barracks, Xu Mengmeng's life was not easy, no, it is not accurate to describe it as bad, it should be very bad.

First of all, although the military camp in Yuncheng is not big, there are more than 30,000 people, even the recruits have recruited 5,000 people, and the original thirteen people are scattered among the 5,000 recruits, which is really called looking at the surroundings full of unfamiliar faces, which makes Xu Mengmeng, who is used to being taken care of by everyone during this time, feel extremely uncomfortable.

Secondly, except for Xu Mengmeng, the barracks are all living rough men, the ancient barracks are not like modern ones with beautiful and comfortable dormitory buildings with toilets and bathrooms, they are all big tents, seventy, eighty or even more than a hundred big men are crowded together, all kinds of sweat and feet smell at night, grinding teeth and snoring, not to mention how sour the taste!

So much so that Xu Mengmeng had insomnia on the first night in the barracks, and finally fell asleep in a daze, but before he could dream, he was picked up and thrown on the ground.

"Ah, you're fucking sick!" Xu Mengmeng subconsciously let out a scream like killing a pig.

"Ning Jun~" The faces of the people who came were black.

"Hehe, Zhao Baihu, this is a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding!" The pain made Xu Mengmeng's consciousness awaken a lot, and he quickly got up and smiled awkwardly.

"Ning Jun, you kid is really amazing! The team's morning training is almost over, and you dare to sleep here, you the barracks are cattle herding, right? Give me ten laps around the barracks! If you commit it again next time, you will be dealt with by military law! ”

After Zhao Baihu finished speaking, he left directly, leaving only Xu Mengmeng who was crying on the spot.
