Chapter 115: Recruitment

Back in the Hou Mansion Gu Tingyun took Fu Ruan and left, it was already dusk, the night of spring was gradually approaching, it was still cold and biting, the moonlight was just right, the illuminated earth was full of silver gray, and the shadows of the two were pulled by the old man, projected on the high wall, like a giant.

"What is the so-called thing about entering the palace today?" Fu Ruan asked nervously and curiously, worried about whether it had something to do with Princess Qinghe and Zhaoyang.

"Zheng Yi came back with news that the people of Nanyi and Yanqiu have been harassing the people at the border recently. So the emperor summoned us to the palace to discuss this matter. Gu Tingyun said.

"It turns out that Nan Wei didn't know about Zhaoyang and Princess Qinghe, it scared me to death." Fu Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a faint smile.

Gu Tingyun smiled, "So you're worried about this?" I mean, you look so bad. ”

Fu Ruan pouted and was unhappy, "You saw that I was unhappy, and you didn't even coax me." ”

Gu Tingyun stood in front of her, only feeling that her current appearance was very delicate and lovely, and her heart suddenly fluttered, and she wanted to kiss the pouting little mouth.

Thinking like this, Gu Tingyun followed the idea, bent down and bowed his head and kissed it.

Fu Ruan was stunned by his sudden move, staring at the emotional man who kissed her, and for a moment Fu Ruan wanted to cry, because she found that he didn't plan to let go of her with a kiss.

When he felt him getting deeper and deeper, Fu Ruan had no choice but to reach out and push him.

Gu Tingyun finally had the opportunity to get close to her, how could he let go of her so easily, at least until he was satisfied.

The moonlight is like a clear light on the two of them, at this moment time stands still and the years are good, if it can go on like this, how good it would be......

"In fact, this matter is also related to the Southern Wei Dynasty, maybe Nanyi and Yanqiu and the Southern Wei Dynasty joined forces to divide the land of the Liang Kingdom." Gu Tingyun said worriedly.

"If the two countries go to war at that time, will it be Brother Shen Yan on the Southern Wei side?" The last thing Fu Ruan wants to see is this situation, now her identity is different, she is the granddaughter of the King of Nanyang of the Southern Wei Dynasty, and the fiancΓ©e of the King of Liangguo, the two countries are at war, and for her, the most important people on both sides kill each other.

Gu Tingyun was silent, looking at her worriedly, her eyes were as gentle as water.

He stroked Fu Ruan's cheek and said, "Ruan Ruan, you can't be soft-hearted on the battlefield, otherwise, it will not only be the lives of tens of millions of soldiers, but the entire Liang country will be in danger." "It means that if the two countries go to war and Gu Tingyun and Shen Yan fight, they will not show mercy to each other's subordinates.

On the battlefield, there is no affection, only winning and losing.

β€”β€”

Fu Ruan walked from the house to the shop early in the morning, today's morning in Jingzhou City seems to be more lively than before, how can there be so many people? Fu Ruan followed a little bit to join in the fun.

"I heard that Dali Siqing posted a notice early this morning, saying that more than 100,000 soldiers were to be recruited, including food and shelter, and two taels of silver per month." Said all the way.

"Why was there a sudden conscription? Could it be that there will be another war? A passer-by said with some surprise.

Where did the man sigh and shake his head: "This world, it's hard to say." One moment it was calm, the next moment it was stormy. ”

"If you really want to fight, you should also contribute to the people, and when you go home, let my son be a soldier, he has no smart mind, but he has a good strength." A big aunt said with a smile.

…

It turned out to be a conscription from the imperial court, no wonder there were so many people in the bazaar.

Fu Ruan walked into the building and saw Zhao Jinlin sitting in the corner eating breakfast, and his hands were very elegant.

"You haven't eaten yet, do you want to join us?" He put down the spoon and looked at Fu Ruan, his eyes were as bright as stars, and Fu Ruan was in a trance for a while.

A big man was so good-looking, Fu Ruan looked at his handsome and unparalleled face with jealousy.

"No, I came here after eating." Fu Ruan said.

"I heard that the imperial court conscripted soldiers, it seems that the world is not peaceful again." How can he feel that his tone is a little bit of a concern for himself, they are all the people of Liangguo, just don't make a little effort, don't talk like this, Fu Ruan was speechless.

Fu Ruan looked at him and was silent.

"Sister." Su Yu's voice came from behind him, Fu Ruan turned his head to look at him, and only heard him say, "Sister, I want to join the army, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and defend the country." ”

Fu Ruan stared at him in surprise, and after a while, he stood up and walked over, touching his forehead, "No fever, what nonsense are you talking about." ”

Su Yu shook his head with a serious face, and said resolutely: "Sister, I am serious, I want to join the army and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." ”

"Why?" He has been a bandit since he was a child, and now he actually wants to be a soldier to fight? Is this true? And how did he decide so suddenly.

"I am not willing to be so ordinary, I want to take this opportunity to make a contribution, I want to match the princess in terms of identity." Su Yu lowered his head and said.

Fu Ruan was slightly stunned, stretched out his hand and touched the top of his head, it turned out that although the emperor had already married Su Yu and the princess, Su Yu still minded his identity very much.

"But you're all about to get married, and this battle will be fought...... Don't you think you should think about the princess? Fu Ruan is not very relieved, in case there is a war after marriage, the two are originally newlyweds, what if something happens to Su Yu on the battlefield? The princess was so pitiful that she couldn't cry to death.

Su Yu suddenly stopped talking, but he didn't say that he wouldn't go to the army.

"You should think about it first, don't make such a hasty decision." Fu Ruan said.

Su Yu nodded, and went to get busy.

Zhao Jinlin's chuckle came from behind him, Fu Ruan turned around and glared at him, "What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at you for blocking people's future." Zhao Jinlin wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said.

Fu Ruan gave him a roll of his eyes, "He's going to get married, okay?" What if you die on the battlefield? ”

Zhao Jinlin looked disdainful, "You look down on him like this?" I think he's a good material for a marshal. ”

Fu Ruan squinted, smiling rather than smiling.

Zhao Jinlin didn't want to dwell on this topic with her anymore, so he said with a smile: "Miss Fu, the weather is very good today, I want to go out for a walk with you, can you see if you are free?" ”

Fu Ruan pointed to the full house of guests and apologized: "Don't you have eyes?" There are so many people, I can't leave. ”

"Come on, there is a shopkeeper, a shopkeeper, and Su Yu is here, you will not be available, I believe you are a ghost." Zhao Jinlin pouted, "You just don't want to go out for a walk with me." ”

"No, it's called avoiding suspicion. I'm a fiancΓ© now, and I'm a stunned person like you who doesn't like it, so stay away from me, I'm afraid that I'll make trouble for you when I go to Tingyun. Fu Ruan said as he walked into the kitchen.

Zhao Jinlin followed behind her, "Miss Fu, in fact, I don't have any special thoughts about you. You can rest assured of me. ”

Fu Ruan looked at him even more disdainfully, "Then please don't talk and act like I have an adulterous relationship in the future, it will make people misunderstand." ”

"I walked the rivers and lakes alone this time, just to avoid marriage, just to make a few friends, I think Miss Fu, you are very good, I like the atmosphere and way you get along like this......" Zhao Jinlin sighed and said with some loss: "Although my father is a respected martial arts alliance leader in the rivers and lakes, and everyone respects him, he pays very little attention to me, and my mother died because of him...... Maybe it's because my mother died, that's why he hates me. ”

Zhao Jinlin suddenly smiled and said to her, "I heard people say that I look very similar to my mother, I don't know if it's true." But if I look very similar to my mother, and my father likes my mother so much, he should be very good to me, why is he so indifferent to me and doesn't ask? ”

"......" Fu Ruan's eyes were full of sympathy when he looked at him, alas, they were all a group of poor children, their mothers died early, and there was no one around them who could love them.

"The most hateful thing is that my father also made a relationship with the owner of the Sword Casting Mountain Villa, and I heard that the daughter of the owner of the village is a tiger's back, and her appearance is even more ugly, and her words and deeds are very vulgar. Look at me as a proud son of the sky, what is the difference between marrying that kind of woman and marrying a female Zhong Kui? ”

That can really be placed at the door to ward off evil spirits, Fu Ruan couldn't help but want to cover his face and smile.

"Alright, don't complain. You've only heard about it, don't you know if the rumors can't be trusted? How exaggerated it is rumored by the outside world, maybe the owner's daughter looks like a flower. Fu Ruan said with a smile.

Zhao Jinlin looked disgusted, "Don't." ”

Fu Ruan shook his head helplessly, and said to Li Zhang, who was stir-frying, "Uncle Li, stew a pigeon for me when it's empty later." ”

Uncle Li was sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "Okay, you go out first, and when the stew is ready, I'll let someone bring it out for you." ”

Fu Ruan nodded and left.

Didn't Gu Li come today? She glanced around the hall, and finally landed on the girl with a beautiful face and even a little lost soul, and beckoned to her, "Xiaolian, Gu Li didn't come today?" ”

Xiaolian blushed, lowered her head and said, "Yes." ”

"Did I tell you why?" Fu Ruan asked.

"I heard that the war king is going to train recently, and he has to go back to help the prince." Xiaolian said.

Training, it must be very hard, Fu Ruan went to tell Uncle Li to stew a chicken, and he will bring it to Gu Tingyun later.

After the stew was ready, Fu Ruan asked Xiaolian to follow, Zhao Jinlin wanted to follow without skin and face, but Fu Ruan couldn't scold him, so he had to let him follow.

Fu Ruan went to the palace, but Gu Tingyun was not there, and the housekeeper told her that Gu Tingyun went to the training ground.

Fu Ruan had no choice but to bring the chicken soup to the Hou Mansion and give it to Ye Lanxin to eat.

Xu listened to Fu Ruan's words, Ye Lanxin's face grew a little flesh, and people also looked at the spirit point.

"Are you trying to raise me as a pig? These are sent every once in a while. Ye Lan couldn't cry or laugh.

"You need to eat fat now, this child needs milk, you must not neglect my godson, otherwise I will be in a hurry with you." While talking and teasing the baby grandmother who was grinning at her, the child is getting better and better-looking, white like a dough, and the lovely Fu Ruan also has the urge to have a child.

"That's it." Song Qixuan arrived before he arrived, and then saw him walking in from the door, holding a freshly baked sweet potato in his hand, and it was bubbling with a sweet smell, Fu Ruan looked at it and swallowed his saliva.

"She saw that he was as thin as a monkey now, and he didn't eat well, so I yelled at me when I let her eat, saying that I forced her to eat something she didn't want to eat, Ah Ruan, you comment, I was so good to her, she scolded me, and quietly I had my wrists, all of which were the marks of her teeth." Song Qixuan was a little aggrieved and complained as if he was embarrassed, which made Ye Lanxin blush.

"Shut up, you." Ye Lan said angrily.

"Why is this kid following you?" Song Qixuan seemed to have just seen Zhao Jin at this moment.

"......" Fu Ruan shrugged.

"Join in the fun, I'm the one who loves to join in the fun." Zhao Jin said.

Believe him! Song Qixuan sneered.

"In a few days, the confinement should be over, right?" Fu Ruan asked.

"Well, these days, in a panic, I made a pair of shoes and clothes for this child, you see." Ye Lanxin handed over a pair of tiger head shoes, exquisite workmanship, very well-behaved, Fu Ruan looked at his heart even softer.

"When I have a child in the future, I have to ask you to make me a pair of identical tiger head shoes." Fu Ruan said with some affection.

"That's good." Ye Lanxin nodded.

"By the way, Ah Ruan, Ah Yun is in the training ground, do you want to go, there are nearly 10,000 people who signed up to join the army today. I heard that Xiao Yu, the general of Huaihua, is also there, if you want to go, I will take you to have a look. Song Qixuan peeled off the sweet potato skin and put it in a bowl, then handed the spoon to Ye Lanxin and stood up to leave.

"I'm going." Fu Ruan stood up and said to Ye Lanxin: "Lan Xin, then we will leave first, you have a good rest." ”

β€”β€”

Inside the North Gate Training Ground.

The 10,000 recruits who had just been recruited were neatly lined up in the field, commanded and rehearsed by the deputy general of Huaihua General Xiao Yu.

Here Gu Tingyun saw Xiao Yu for the first time, and was attracted by his resolute temperament.

Xiao Yu looks very manly, not like Song Qixuan's fair skin, slightly dark, dignified, not angry and arrogant, Gu Tingyun can't help but sigh a little whether he is old, now it is really a period of talent.

However, he was very happy in his heart, and in the future, the rivers and mountains of Liangguo would be guarded by them, and he would enjoy happiness at home with Ruan Ruan.

"General Xiao is really extraordinary, and when I see it today, it is true, and in the future, there will be you and you in Liangguo, even ten hundred Southern Wei, and it will not be a problem." Gu Tingyun said with a smile.

"The prince laughed, I'm nothing compared to the prince." Gu Tingyun has not been defeated for many years, the name of the 'God of War' is still shouted by the enemy, his status, his reputation, are all spelled out by himself, Xiao Yu has always respected him.

"Lord Wang, Miss Fu is here." Gu Li whispered in his ear.

Gu Tingyun hurriedly got up and went over to greet her.

Gu Li saw Xiao Lian who was following Fu Ruan, and an imperceptible smile flashed on his face, and then disappeared again.

"You're here." Gu Tingyun stared at her with a smile, took her hand and walked over here.

Fu Ruan sat on the chair, looking at the team that made a pleasant sound, and was a little excited in his heart.

"I heard that these are all recruited today, right?" Fu Ruan said.

"Yes, General Xiao's lieutenant is also a person who can do big things." Song Qixuan looked at the black-clothed lieutenant general who was commanding the recruits.

"Little Hou Ye has won the prize." Xiao Yu arched his hand and moved his gaze to Fu Ruan.

"This should be the prince's fiancΓ©e, right?" Xiao Yu.

Gu Tingyun glanced at him, nodded, and did not speak.

He felt that Xiao Yu's question was a bit redundant, but when Fu Ruan heard Xiao Yu's voice, he turned his head and glanced at him, feeling that he was a little familiar.

The two looked at each other, and Fu Ruan felt even more familiar, so he asked, "General Xiao, have we met somewhere?" Do we know each other? ”

As soon as Fu Ruan's words came out, everyone present was stunned.

"Ah Ruan, do you know General Xiao?" Song Qixuan first looked at Gu Tingyun and then at Fu Ruan.

Ah Jun is not angry? He wasn't even angry.

It's unusual.

What they didn't know was that although Gu Tingyun still kept smiling on the surface, in his heart he thought that he had asked a lot of whys, why did Fu Ruan ask this question? Could it be that she knows Xiao Yu? Why do they know each other?

Xiao Yu removed the emotion in his eyes and said seriously: "No, we haven't seen it." I don't know either. ”

Fu Ruan felt embarrassed.

"These recruits can't even hold a knife, if they go to the battlefield to kill people, they won't die if they lack a knife." Song Qixuan sat on the steps and watched with interest, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand and knocking them up.

Fu Ruan glanced at him, you are a person who can only play tricks, and you are embarrassed to speak, these are all young people who don't know anything, okay?

"You can do it." Gu Li's cold voice was so frightened that Song Qixuan's melon seeds swallowed directly, choking his saliva and dripping out.

"Gu Li, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." For Song Qixuan, Gu Li was already the shadow of his life, he thought, the little guards who are always hippie and smiling on weekdays torture people, it is really vicious, and they actually scared living people into fools......

"......" Gu Li didn't expect him to react so much.

"General Xiao, our soldiers have to strengthen their training, so as not to be so frightened that they dare to run back as soon as they arrive on the battlefield. Although we have 100,000 elite soldiers as the backing, now we have to face Nanyi Yanqiu and Southern Wei. They may attack Liang Guo at any time, so this group of soldiers is trained and taken directly to the border to guard. Gu Tingyun said.

Xiao Yu pondered for a while and nodded, "What the prince said is reasonable, General Zheng Yi had already returned to Jingzhou after completing the task in order to resist the 30,000 people brought by the enemy army, so the border pass is now only guarded by 1,000 people, which is really a dangerous situation." "The 100,000 elite soldiers in charge of the soldier Fu can't move, and that's to protect Jingzhou City, so they can only strengthen the training of new soldiers.

"So the Nanyi people don't know how many people there are at the border, otherwise they would have started a long time ago. Ah Yun, I don't think it will be long before they know that there are only a thousand soldiers guarding the border gates. Song Qixuan said.

"If he really finds out, Zheng Yi will definitely be able to hold it." Gu Tingyun said that he believed in Zheng Yi's mind and strength.

β€”β€”

He practiced until dusk before resting, Fu Ruan looked at the young people and felt a little distressed, "Don't you think it's too cheap to get two taels of silver a month?" The training is so hard, I'm afraid they won't be able to persevere. ”

"There are too many people, and the money in the treasury cannot afford it." Gu Tingyun shook his head and said.

"I have a lot of money, so I might as well increase the monthly silver to five taels of silver, maybe there will be more people who sign up." Fu Ruan said.

Gu Tingyun pinched her nose and said dotingly: "Don't you feel sorry for your silver?" ”

Fu Ruan shook his head and said: "Money is something outside the body, these teenagers who will go to the battlefield sooner or later, it is difficult to determine whether they can come back alive or not, what is my money?" He chuckled and said, "As your wife, I must do something in my moderation." ”

"Ah Ruan is really rich." Song Qixuan was a little red-eyed.

Tens of thousands of soldiers will give them their monthly money, and they don't lose like this if they have money.

Song Qixuan glanced at Gu Tingyun and saw that this guy was laughing.

I don't know what he's laughing at, can't he understand what Fu Ruan said? The silver is gone.

Fu Ruan naturally knew Song Qixuan's thoughts, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Qixuan, I remember that you seem to owe Tingyun 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Song Qixuan was stunned, not knowing why she suddenly asked what she was doing here.

But take the money, Ah Yun doesn't care what he wants, and now Ah Ruan wants to mention this?

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What are you talking about?" Just pretend to have amnesia and don't remember.

Hey, play dumb for me? Fu Ruan stared at him interestingly, "Don't remember?" Then I'll help you recall in front of Lan Xin, you once borrowed money from Tingyun to buy a house for Xi'er. Saying that, Fu Ruan pretended to leave, but this move frightened Song Qixuan, and hurriedly jumped over to stop her, "Grandma, this joke can't be made, I finally reconciled with Lan Xin, it's too unkind for you to do this." ”

Fu Ruan nodded: "So the 10,000 taels of silver, you can exchange it for me, and let's take it to pay for the start of work." ”

Song Qixuan's face hurt, he shouldn't have sarcastically ridiculed Fu Ruan's sentence of 'rich and rich' just now and got into trouble, he really wanted to give himself a big mouth and let you meddle in your affairs and talk more.

"Ah Ruan, you are so rich, you don't lack the 10,000 taels." Song Qixuan was still in his final dying throes, but Fu Ruan was no longer ready to speak, and completely ignored him.

"Ah Ruan, Lan Xin just gave birth to a child, so it will cost you."

Although it needs to be spent, isn't there still an old marquis? Besides, the penny you spent wasn't the old marquis's? As the saying goes, borrowing money must be borrowed and repaid, and that is a matter of course.

"......" Fu Ruan looked at the gradually dimming sky and said to Gu Tingyun: "Tingyun, it's getting late, let's go back." ”

Song Qixuan saw the backs of Fu Ruan and Gu Tingyun, and hurriedly chased after them: "Grandma, don't tell Lan Xin, I'll give the money with both hands tomorrow?" ”

Fu Ruan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut." ”

Fu Ruan was happy, Song Qixuan was not happy at all, he wanted to vomit blood in his heart, and he lost 10,000 taels of silver for no reason, hehe......

Looking at the pair of beautiful people who were gradually moving away, a bitter smile crossed the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth.

"I thought Song Xie would be your destination, but in the end, it would be him." He smiled bitterly, feeling that fate made people, he was always one step slower, and if he didn't remember it, he would never think about it, so why bother with her? She is happy now.
