Chapter 92: Compulsory conscription by the imperial court

After a while, Nantian came over to open the door, saw that it was the grandson of the village chief, and asked.

"Something?"

"My father is going to convene a meeting of the villagers, please talk to Brother Nan about it, and by the way, talk to Brother Acan." Although Grandpa didn't say it, he felt the need to call Liu Acan.

"Okay."

"Then I'll go back." Now that the words have been brought, it is time for him to go back.

Nantian closed the door and went back, and when he arrived at the door, Liu Xiaohe asked.

"Who is it?"

"The grandson of the village chief, saying that the village chief is looking for you, and he will call Liu Acan together."

As soon as she heard that the village chief was looking for it, she nodded, and went to the old house with Zhang Yunsheng to call Liu Acan to go to the village together.

There were already many people gathered in the center of the village, and it seemed that there were only a few of them. Zhang Yunsheng escorted Liu Xiaohe to the front.

When the chief of the village saw them coming, he opened his mouth to tell the story.

"I called everyone here today to tell you a very important thing, this matter is that the imperial court is going to recruit soldiers, and the official documents have been issued, and everyone between the ages of sixteen and thirty must participate."

"Must?" Liu Xiaohe was puzzled and wanted to confirm with the village chief's grandfather.

"Yes, it has to be." The village chief sighed, this is equivalent to taking away all the labor force in the village, leaving only some old and weak women and children.

The last time a conscription was five or six years ago, when it was all voluntary, but this time it was compulsory, and it seemed that there was going to be a war.

"Why is this so, the men are gone, so who will plant the crops in our fields?"

"That's right, my son hasn't gotten married yet, if he can't come back, won't our family be broken?"

"yes, how do we live here?"

Everyone, you say a word, and your voice is getting noisier and louder. The village chief was about to faint and shouted.

"Quiet, quiet."

The villagers did not stop talking at all, and the village chief's voice was directly drowned out.

Zhang Yunsheng saw his daughter-in-law blocking her ears, and immediately used her internal force to shout.

"Quiet."

Where can ordinary people bear it, immediately quiet down.

The village chief glanced at Zhang Yunsheng, and then continued to speak to the villagers.

"The general sent by the imperial court to bring people will arrive in a few days, you can hurry up what you want to do, arrange everything that should be arranged, and hurry up to get married after you should leave one for your own family, I have finished speaking, let's disperse."

The village chief's words are very realistic, once you go to a place like the battlefield, you can't come back, and only a very small number of people can survive.

The villagers had no intention of going to work in the fields anymore, so they went home to find a way, and the three of them also went back.

On the way back, Liu Acan was sullen and had a sad face.

He was thinking, what would he do if he was gone?

"Yun Sheng, you go to the town and ask Lin Putou to see if this matter can be solved with money?"

"Okay." Yun Sheng nodded.

When Liu Acan returned home, Chen Keer saw his sad look and asked with concern.

"What did the village chief say?"

Liu Acan shook his head and smiled at Chen Keer.

"It's fine."

"Are you alright?" Chen Keer didn't believe it.

"It's fine." Liu Acan said with a smile.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chen Keer didn't ask anymore.

On the side of the new house, Zhang Yunsheng led the horse away.

In the town, Lin Putou and the county magistrate were sitting together, and Lin Putou looked angry.

"It's clear that someone deliberately transferred you away."

Lin Hanlin saw that his cousin was very angry, smiled, and picked up the wine jug to add wine to himself and his cousin.

"Why are you angry when you know someone did it on purpose? How about our cousins have a drink today? ”

Lin Putou saw that his cousin was still in the mood to drink, and he was even more angry.

"Cousin, don't forget what the fifth prince explained when he left, the fifth prince wrote that there were seven princes who came with him this time, and said let's talk to Mrs. Zhang, so that she had better not show up."

Speaking of this, Lord Lin had no intention of drinking, put down the wine glass and frowned.

"Xiaotian, you go to Zhangjia Village."

"My lord, there is a man named Zhang Yunsheng outside the door who asks to see you."

When Lord Lin heard that it was Mrs. Zhang's husband, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates.

"Bring people in."

"Yes."

After a while, Zhang Yunsheng came in, and when he saw Lord Lin, he first saluted Lord Lin.

"The grass people meet your lord."

"Brother Yunsheng, please take a seat."

Zhang Yunsheng nodded, but did not sit down, but opened his mouth to ask Lord Lin.

"My daughter-in-law wants to ask if this conscription can be solved with money?"

As soon as he heard this, Lord Lin knew what Zhang Yunsheng was here for, and told Zhang Yunsheng with an apologetic face.

"Brother Yunsheng, I'm afraid it won't work this time, and this time you'd better join the army honestly."

"Why?" Zhang Yunsheng was curious.

"Your daughter-in-law's identity is not ordinary, if you want your daughter-in-law to be stable, then don't attract attention, otherwise your daughter-in-law's identity will be exposed, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse in the future."

Zhang Yunsheng twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Does Lord Lin know what the identity of my daughter-in-law is?" ”

Lord Lin and Lin Putou were surprised, Mrs. Zhang didn't tell Zhang Yunsheng?

The two made eye contact and shook their heads in tacit understanding.

"This official only knows that Mrs. Zhang's identity is not ordinary, as for what her identity is, Brother Yunsheng, you may have to ask Mrs. Zhang."

Mrs. Zhang didn't say it, and they didn't dare to say it, if they leaked something and caused trouble, then even if they had ten heads, it would not be enough to cut off.

Zhang Yunsheng knew that they wouldn't speak, so he didn't ask, as for the identity of his daughter-in-law, if Lord Lin hadn't mentioned it today, he would have forgotten it.

Lord Lin also knew what Zhang Yunsheng was worried about, and said: "If you are worried about Mrs. Zhang's safety, then you can rest assured, this official's cousin Lin Putou will help you take care of Mrs. Zhang and promise not to let Mrs. Zhang do anything different." ”

Master Lin paused when he said this, looked at Zhang Yunsheng with his eyes, and thought of something to convince Zhang Yunsheng.

"Besides, this conscription is an opportunity, with the ability of the Yun Sheng brothers, they will definitely become generals in the future, and one day if Mrs. Zhang's identity is revealed, the Yun Sheng brothers may be able to help Mrs. Zhang with their identity."

……

On the way back, Zhang Yunsheng kept thinking about Lord Lin's words in his head.

The meaning of the words is already obvious, Xiao He's identity is either an official lady or a royal princess or a county lord, and it must be related to the royal family that can make Lord Lin taboo.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunsheng made up his mind.

When he got home, Liu Xiaohe asked.

"How?"

"Lord Lin said that money is useless, and those who meet the conditions must go."

"You want to go?" She could tell that Yun Sheng wanted to go, but she was curious.

Zhang Yunsheng nodded.

"What else did Lord Lin tell you?" Intuition told her that Yun Sheng wanted to go for a reason, and if it weren't for this reason, Yun Sheng would definitely not leave her and the child alone.

"Nothing more."

"You're lying." Liu Xiaohe said a word, and then continued, "Did Lord Lin tell you about my life experience?" ”

She really couldn't think of anything else besides this possibility.

Zhang Yunsheng looked at his daughter-in-law with big dark eyes and asked, "Xiao He, what is your life experience?" ”

Zhang Miaomiao, who was on the side, pricked up her ears, Liu Xiaohe glanced at the kitchen door and drank coldly.

"Zhang Miaomiao, if you eavesdrop again, I will cut off your ears."

When Zhang Miaomiao heard this, she hurriedly came out of the kitchen door and laughed.

"I want to go home."

"Hmm."

Seeing Liu Xiaohe nodding, Zhang Miaomiao hurriedly left, as soon as she left, Liu Xiaohe and Zhang Yunsheng went back to the room, and the two came to the space.

"Lord Lin didn't tell you about my background?"

Zhang Yunsheng shook his head and said, "Lord Lin asked me to come back and ask you." ”

"You want to know?"

"Hmm." Zhang Yunsheng nodded.

"Okay, I'll tell you." Liu Xiaohe smiled lightly, since he was going, give him a goal to strive for, "My mother is Princess Pingyang." ”

Zhang Yunsheng was stunned, he thought a lot about it, but he didn't think of Princess Pingyang, if it was really Princess Pingyang, then Xiao He's situation was very embarrassing.

Because Princess Pingyang never got married, she was suddenly pregnant, and no one knew who the father of the child was, only Princess Pingyang herself knew.

Because the emperor loved this sister, he did not hold him accountable, and the child could have been born safely, but there were still people who wanted to strangle Princess Pingyang and the child in her belly.

Just when Princess Pingyang was out playing, an accident happened, Princess Pingyang died, but the child was gone.

I didn't expect the daughter-in-law in front of me to be that child.

Liu Xiaohe quietly watched him digest himself, and waited until the man in front of him looked at him with his eyes before she spoke.

"Lord Lin is right, if you can get the general to do it, the emperor will know about me in the future, and he will not object to your marriage, and no one in the court can talk about you."

"However, Zhang Yunsheng, I want to tell you, if you dare to die, then I will immediately take the child down to find you, even if you chase it to the eighteenth layer of hell, I will settle accounts with you." Now that she and Yun Sheng have cultivated to the third layer, as long as something happens to him, she can feel it, although she won't die with him, she knows that something happened to him.

It was obviously a threatening word, but in Zhang Yunsheng's ears, he was inexplicably moved.

He raised his arms around his daughter-in-law and rested his chin on top of her head.

"Xiao He, don't worry, I won't die, I will definitely be a general."

"I'm sure you'll be able to become a general." Liu Xiaohe hugged his waist and listened to his heartbeat.

Zhang Miaomiao returned home, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard her mother's anxious voice.

"What should I do? Our big cow and two cows are going to go, if something happens, won't our family be finished? Zhang Xiangru was so anxious that he saw that his man was still sitting there drinking tea, and smashed the bowl of tea in the past, "I'm going to die in a hurry here, why are you acting like no one?" ”

The sound of the bowl shattering sounded, and Zhang's face sank.

"Are you in a hurry? Didn't you hear the village chief say it was necessary? Even the grandson of the village chief has to go. Zhang Qiaozi looked at the broken bowl on the ground and muttered, "What a loser, a good bowl for you to fall." ”

"Your son is gone, and you're still here caring about the bowl." Zhang Xiangru cried, "Why did I marry you." ”

Zhang Miaomiao couldn't stand it anymore, pushed open the door and went in, and the two people inside were stunned for a moment when they saw their daughter coming back.

Zhang Xiangru was the first to come back to her senses, and hurriedly went over to grab her daughter.

"Miao Miao, why are you back?"

"When I heard about the conscription, I went home and took a look." Zhang Miaomiao looked at her father.
