In the afternoon of the same day, a group of officers and soldiers went to Qingyue Village to select strong men, referred to as joining the army, which immediately aroused the panic of the villagers.

Han family

When Han Xuanwen heard the news, his face was gloomy, and the time had come for Xiao Qingnan to turn over.

I don't know why that person hasn't done it yet, and he can't be contacted many times, and there is no such person in the world.

He pondered for a moment, then walked out of the room to the next room.

Qin Muya was idle and had nothing to do, and she didn't shake her handkerchief for a while.

Seeing him coming, he hurriedly stood up, his eyes flashed with a hint of joy, this was the first time he came to her house after getting married, and said softly: "Xuanwen." ”

"Hmm."

Han Xuanwen sat next to her and said directly, "Does your father's yamen know you?" ”

Qin Muya was puzzled, he asked what he was doing, "Naturally, I know." There was a hint of pride in his tone.

"Do something for me."

Hearing this, Han Xuanwen reached out and took her hand, and then, the knobby hand covered her hand.

Qin Muya couldn't help but blush, and nodded shyly.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Muya's face turned crimson and she left the Han family with the two maids.

Village.

The official was checking the number of people with the household registration book, and the men in the village, both young and old, were there.

The leader fanned the wind with his hand and said loudly: "Over forty, under fifteen." ”

The rest of the men were between fifteen and forty years old, about seventy or eighty.

Yatou said again: "Lord County Commander, be sympathetic to you, if you don't want to join the army, pay fifty taels of silver." ”

There are no more than five families in the village with 52 families, and even if there are, it is impossible for most families to spend their hard-earned money here.

What's more, the imperial court stipulates that only one young strong man needs to be produced in a family, except for those who volunteer, so it will not cause the incense to be broken.

After a half-silence

A deep voice rang out from the crowd: "I'll hand it over." ”

It is like a boulder sinking to the bottom of the lake, startling a thousand waves.

Everyone looked at the man and was shocked.

It turned out to be Xiao Qingnan!

Then he thought about it, and he couldn't possibly come up with fifty taels of silver.

A hint of joy flashed in the officer's eyes, and the lord asked him to pay thirty taels, so that the remaining twenty taels were their hard-earned money.

But it was only three seconds of fun.

Immediately after that, a cold female voice sounded, "No money." ”

The others looked like they were.

Xiao Qingnan turned his head to look at Jiang Wei who was striding forward, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't speak for a while.

The duck that reached the beak actually flew!

The servant's face suddenly darkened, and he scolded: "Where is the woman! Get out of the way. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qingnan's whole face sank, and he said coldly: "Try it again?" ”

Then he walked to the yatou step by step and looked at him condescendingly.

Suddenly, Yatou was shrouded in fear, took a step back, and said with an unkind face, "Very good, even if you have money, Lao Tzu will not accept it." ”

"Dabao, write his name down to me!"

Dabao nodded when he heard this, and picked up the pen, but he didn't put down the pen for a long time, "Boss, what's his name?" ”

"Xiao Qingnan." Jiang Wei said coldly.

Dabao smiled at her gratefully.

Xiao Qingnan's face was dark, and he turned to stare at her and said, "You don't want to see me like this?" ”

Jiang Wei raised her eyes, her gaze touched his reduced face, and a trace of distress flashed in her eyes, so fast that it was difficult to catch, and Xiao Qingnan naturally didn't see it.

Staring at her back, Xiao Qingnan's ears rang with the voice she had just said, "Yes." The arms on both sides were tightly clenched together, and the green tendons could be vaguely seen bursting.

Turned around and walked to Dabao, who had his name recorded, and directly took the paper in his hand, and without looking at it, he tore it into pieces and threw it on the ground.

He dropped a sentence, "If you dare to write my name, you won't be able to leave this village today." ”

Dabao is stupid, it's just a bad people!

Then he looked up at the yatou.

It was also the first time for Yatou to see such an arrogant person, and his face was suddenly blue with anger, "Diao Min! I can't help you! ”

Xiao Qingnan glanced at him lightly, the threat in his eyes was obvious, and then strode away.

The other young strong men who stayed behind also wanted to threaten the yatou with him, so that they didn't have to be sent to death.

But they didn't have the courage, they hung their heads one by one, and their mood was a little low.

Yatou was so angry that he stomped his feet, damn! Said viciously: "Mark him for me, if he doesn't go, he will be a deserter, and he will directly surround the Xiao family when the time comes." ”

He didn't think he was scared!

Qin Muya saw this scene under the big banyan tree, wiped her sweat with a silk handkerchief, and told Da Shuang to call the yatou to come over.

Yatou ran over and said respectfully, "Miss." ”

Qin Muya didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly ordered: "Don't let that person join the army just now, do you know?" ”

"Yes." Although the yatou was unwilling in his heart, he did not dare to disobey her orders.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Qin Muya turned around and went back to Han's house.

Back at Han's house, Qin Muya told her what she saw.

After Han Xuanwen listened, his brows furrowed, it stands to reason that Xiao Qingnan should be eager to join the army, why not go this time.

Then I thought of this war, the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered heavy losses, and the dead soldiers and horses were counted in tens of thousands, could it be that he was afraid?

Or maybe the time hasn't come?

In his previous life, he joined the army a year later, but now that he has advanced, has the ending changed?

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was a great chance that Xiao Qingnan would not return this time, and said in a deep voice: "Stuff some silver into the yatou, and let him be sure to report Xiao Qingnan's name to the boss." ”

Once the report is made, Xiao Qingnan will not go, and he will be beheaded all over the house.

You can't escape death if you go!

Suddenly, the whole person relaxed a lot, and the gaze that looked at Qin Muya was much more pleasant, and he said in a deep voice: "I'll sleep in your room tonight." ”

Looking at his upright back, Qin Muya reacted and was immediately overjoyed, unbelievable, and then hurriedly ordered Dashuang and Xiaoshuang to clean up the bed.

……

Xiao family

Xiao Qingnan looked at Jiang Wei, who was folding vegetables, and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk." ”

As soon as the sound fell, Wu Guifen and Jiang Mei rushed directly into the door, Wu Guifen's dry yellow cheeks, tears were vertical and horizontal, and her lips were slightly white, and she begged: "Qingnan, you have to help your eldest brother." ”

The list was confirmed just now, and there were forty-five people in the village.

The Jiang family is Jiang Hui, Jiang Hui is her only son, if she dies, what should she do.

When she learned the bad news, she had no master, and later heard Jiang Mei say that the Xiao family had silver and could save Jiang Hui.

Seeing Jiang Wei get up and enter the room, Xiao Qingnan's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want me to do!" ”

"I owe you and I don't owe you, I will pay it back!"

"But what do you do to me, and how do you treat my lady!"

He knew the taste of these days, but instead of being grateful, the Jiang family treated him as the wronged boss and came to him for everything.

The Jiang family was frightened by his appearance, Jiang Mei raised her head and said, "Brother Xiao, I know that Sister is sorry for you, but before you think about it, how good you are with my sister." ”

"If you hadn't given my sister a letter of resignation, my sister wouldn't have died." There was a hint of complaint in his voice.
