Chapter 25: The Long Way Home
After two months, the conscription was finally over, and a total of 4,871 men were recruited, and after resting, they began to set out on their way home.
"Why is it over now, there are still many countries that have not enlisted, isn't this the Hundred Tribes Army? If you don't gather all the tribes into one army, how can you call it the army of the hundred tribes? Qu Mingli asked. At least none of the nations he knew of who were present at the Spring Feast were included in the conscription.
Yeqi laughed at him: "Do you really not know or fake don't know?" This conscription should have been done by you and me, but if the king did not agree, Zi Raid could still be forced to levy. ”
"Therefore, except for those in the current army, those countries that have not yet been drafted do not agree to this matter."
"Soldiers are the root of a country. If it is easily requisitioned, it can still be regarded as a country, but it is just afraid of greed and exchange. ”
"What about the unconquered kingdoms?"
"Naturally, it has moved. This matter did not have an immediate effect, and he wanted to promote his power, how could it be so easy. Moreover, since the division of the Li Kingdom three hundred years ago, a hundred schools of thought have been established as kings, and there has never been a war involving more than ten countries. ”
Qu Mingli pondered Yeqi's words carefully, and there seemed to be some truth. It's just that I don't know what the reason for those who didn't cooperate with the conscription, although the father said that he blocked his son's attack on the entry in order to prevent him, what kind of arrangements will there be in the future?
At this time, it had been two months since the spring feast, and although the kings had received a letter of relief written by Yu Ming, they still felt uneasy. Since then, Klee has rarely interacted with various countries, and it is hard to believe what the reason is that the temperament of King Klee, who has always been good friends, has changed greatly.
However, countries still have their own affairs to do, and they don't have much time to think about other countries.
There is still an endless stream of people in Lian Kingdom who come to borrow silver taels.
On this day, Bai Yuxuan dared to tell his father that he should set up some regulations, and he should not borrow them from anyone who came, and if he could not collect them, he was afraid that the treasury would gradually lose money, and it would not be good to overdo it.
King Lian gave him a blank look and scolded, "How did I give birth to such a cowardly son as you." If you want to borrow, there are countless gold and jade in the country, why waste so many favors. With a stroke of his pen, he signed an IOU.
And Bai Yuxuan has no right to make the decision, so he can only still deal with the paper and books that his father has given him, and if his father wants to eat and drink with his son, he will also call his younger brothers. He is a handsome boy and a rich man, but in fact he is just a machine for processing paperwork.
Bai Yuxuan thought about it like this, and when he heard the maid's summons and the doctor arrived, he went out to greet him.
Zhong Jianjiang had been playing with the jade lion in his hand for a long time, rubbing it gently like a blister, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, until his brother and sister came to him to practice martial arts together, and he woke up like a dream, and then left with them after collecting it.
He said to her, "If anything, come to me, and I will help you." Now, he had to work hard, and he couldn't wait for her to need him, only to find that he couldn't.
Recently, there has been a trend of increasing number of doctors and patients after returning to China, and Su Ye has also joined the ranks of treating patients, taking care of them as he does with all patients.
He made another prescription and saved many patients.
When will fewer people suffer? He wanted an answer that had no answer.
In the Ayu Palace, a dispute finally broke out between the father and daughter, and this time, the king finally understood that his daughter had grown up and had her own ideas. But with her identity, she is destined not to be mixed with too many private thoughts, and even not to have private thoughts.
Lu Ying is still practicing dance diligently since Keli came back, and asks her father all day long when she can see her sister again.
King Lu remembered the letter, full of the uncertainty of Corine, but still comforted his son that as long as he lived in this world together, there was still hope for him to see again.
For the outside of the suspicious Keli, even the prince Yu Ming and the generals still don't understand what King Keli wants. In the past two months, half of the country's soldiers and horses have been sent out to find Mr. Ling's whereabouts, but there is still no trace, just like when he suddenly came to Keli to live, and suddenly left Keli and disappeared in front of people, what kind of secret is hidden in this, Yu Ming also wants to ask to understand.
Yu Jin always asked him, where did his sister go, where did Aunt Chun go, why did the second princess die, it seems that everything has changed. The trajectory of her destiny has changed.
Yu Ming couldn't answer her question, so he could only persuade: "If everything is what you think, what is the meaning of this world." Find out for yourself, and you will find that these are just fate. ”
Yu Jin naturally didn't know what his brother was talking about, but his father was always crying, and she was always not good at coaxing. The days when you could live happily without knowing anything are finally gone.
General Xiugu was often in a daze, looking at his spear, and never understood why that young man, who said that he had a promising future, disappeared without a trace. The wind and rain are shaking, Klee has already lost a military advisor, and what will happen if she loses another general.
In a certain country and place, Mr. Ling, who had never been found again, finally appeared, he stood in front of a person, took off his mask, and asked him, "Do you remember me?" I am back. ”
On the side of the street in a small country, a beggar-like woman was lying on the side of the road, no one cared, and she whispered "princess, princess" but no one could hear it. She seemed to be extremely hungry, her cheeks were emaciated, her face trampled by mud and water could not be seen clearly, and she had no strength in her hands, but she still hung her breath and did not dare to exhale.
Finally, someone stopped beside her.
Ye Yi led thousands of people from the country to move again, and this time, he decided to find a place that no one could find anymore. He didn't want the slightest entanglement.
"I don't believe it." Qu Mingli said to Yeqi, who was sitting side by side with him on horseback, "I don't believe that this matter has been summarized by you in just a few sentences, the situation of all countries is different, how can it be as big and the same as you said, there should always be some special reasons of your own." If it is a hasty summary, it is even more difficult to find the reason inside him. So, even if you have a point, I still don't think it's that simple. ”
Qu Mingli suddenly thought of what Uncle Ling had said about bowing down and doing it himself, and felt that he shouldn't have come to a conclusion so early.
Yazzy laughed, "In that case, you can tell me why." ”
Qu Mingli shook his head and didn't look serious: "Although I can't find it now, I will know sooner or later." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to tell me."
As the sun sets, the army is obliquely imprinted on the road, a winding curve. They still tirelessly hurried on their way, for there was still a long way to go back, and a long way to come.
