Chapter 17: Departure
This time the state ordered the recruitment of troops is very unusual, in the past, most of the monks went to the city lord's mansion by themselves and asked to go to war.
It seems that something must have happened, so under what circumstances does it need to be replenished with a large number of men? For example, there is a large reduction in the number of personnel at the front, or there is a major battle?
There have been no major battles for many years, so it should be, there are too many dead and there are not enough people, this is really not a good time!
Li Hao and Li Chengkun took eight clansmen and strode into the City Lord's Mansion, where they would gather with everyone and set off together.
"Xiao Hao, you're here!" Mo Hai stepped forward excitedly, he was happy in his heart, he had a partner he could trust, and he was a lot more relieved.
"Uncle Mo, let's go together!" Li Hao raised his hand excitedly.
Mo Hai nodded, he took a few steps closer, and whispered: "I heard that it is the young city lord who is leading the team this time, and we have a total of one hundred people going to Linhai City." ”
"Young City Lord?" Li Hao frowned, this Shaocheng is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and his favorite thing to do every day is to go to the street to flirt with a good woman, as for military talent, I really haven't seen it.
"I heard that he went to the second capital and molested the princess, and he was going to be imprisoned, but his father paid a big price and fished him out, and now he wants him to make meritorious contributions. Mo Hai shook his head, it was really incomprehensible, if it was him, he would have been cultivating to become an immortal a long time ago, where would he have the leisure to tease the princess?
"Flirting with the princess?" Li Hao opened his mouth wide when he heard this: "Is it an unintentional mistake?"
"No! Mo Hai shook his head, his expression was very strange.
"How can there be such a person?" Li Hao was speechless, he couldn't understand.
"Li Hao, hello!" Yu Hong, the young patriarch of the Yu family, stepped forward, and he smiled: "The young city lord is really a model for my generation, and he has raised the cause of flirting to another level. ”
"It turned out to be Brother Yu, thank you for what happened last time. Li Hao arched his hand and saluted.
"How can you deserve a thank you!" Yu Hong waved his hand and smiled again: "We just want to see a joke." ”
As soon as the words fell, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly took a few steps and changed directions, just using Li Hao to separate Li Chengkun.
"Hehe, everyone is a comrade-in-arms, don't be angry with unrelated people, you will hurt your body in anger!" Yu Hongwei laughed, carefully guarding against Li Chengkun.
Hmph...... Li Chengkun snorted coldly and put down his fist, he was a step slower just now, and the slut reacted too quickly.
"Brother Yu, as a young patriarch, why do you want to go?" Li Hao felt very strange in his heart.
"Not you?" Yu Hong looked at him resentfully.
"I, are you ......?" Li Hao opened his mouth.
"It's not just me, there are many other people! Brother Li really injured a lot by mistake!" Yu Hong said with a wry smile.
"! Isn't there any basic trust between people?" Li Hao was extremely shocked.
"Brother Yu, Brother Li, hello!" Shen Gang, the young patriarch of the Shen family, also came up.
"Brother Shen is also here, are you also ......?" Li Hao's eyes widened.
"Of course not!How could I do such a thing!" Shen Gang's square face was full of righteousness and awe.
"To be honest, I don't know about you yet!" Yu Hong glanced at him, his face full of disdain.
"Okay, I didn't, but I arranged for someone to teach my brother to do it. Shen Gang said helplessly.
"It's really sorry to spoil Brother Shen's big thing. Li Hao didn't know what to say, this Shen Gang actually dug a pit for his brother to jump, if his brother dared to fight with him, as long as he said it, he would become a Li Chengqian again.
"It's okay, it's just a backhand, and you still have to speak with strength. Shen Gang smiled slightly and shook his head, he didn't care very much.
"It's just 'one' backhand. Li Hao opened his mouth and closed it again, he had nothing to say, he just hoped to stay away from the power and talk with his fists.
"The young city lord is here!" Yu Hong shouted, looking at the entrance of the side hall with adoration.
A slender young man in his twenties, with a pale face and a seemingly overindulgent face, staggered out, beckoning to everyone with a cynical smile.
"See the young city lord!" everyone clasped their fists and saluted.
"Welcome everyone, this time I will follow this son and have a good time with the scales!"
The young city lord said weakly, and the inspiring words came out of his mouth, and the taste completely changed.
He beckoned to one of the servants, gave him an order, and found a long chair to lie down and rest, leaving the crowd to stare at him.
The servant turned around and brought a box full of porcelain bottles, put them on the ground, and quickly took out the bottles and distributed them to the people.
Taking the bottle, Li Hao opened it and saw that there were ten essence qi pills inside, this bottle of pills was worth 10,000 gold, and the young city lord made an extraordinary move.
"Young Master, it's done!" the servant divided the pill and reported to the young city lord.
The young city lord yawned, stood up, and said: "The supplies have been given to you! Eat along the way, sleep and take care of yourself, don't bother me, don't fall behind, let's go!"
This way of marching is very strange, it is equivalent to giving you money, you can take care of yourself, and you will not care about you.
When everyone left the city lord's mansion, they saw the servant pull out a large carriage that was extremely luxurious and took the young city lord up.
"How does this feel weird, are we going to war?"
"Is it to play?"
Everyone had strange expressions, but they had already received the benefits, and they couldn't say anything, so they could only follow the carriage and walk slowly.
This is really slow, walked for several days to the state capital Dongzhou City, every day in the wilderness and have to find a place to sleep, it is difficult to eat a normal meal, if it is not for the essence of the pill in advance, I am afraid that everyone would have been in chaos.
The servant of the young city lord jumped out of the carriage and shouted: "Everyone, the young city lord has an order, after arriving at Dongzhou City, he will move freely and gather at the city gate tomorrow morning." ”
When they heard this, they immediately dispersed and went into the city.
"Uncle Mo, what is this young city lord doing?" Li Hao was strange in his heart, so he asked.
"Iron Blood City is short of people, it must be that the battle situation is unfavorable, what will the first person to arrive do?" Mo Hai smiled and asked rhetorically.
"Want to participate in the battle?" Li Hao suddenly realized, so it was.
"Anyway, none of this has anything to do with us, let's just watch! As long as you go out of the city, be careful!" Mo Hai smiled slightly and stopped talking about this topic.
"Be careful when you go out of the city?" Li Hao's thoughts turned sharply, he must not be left behind along the way, and he can move freely when he arrives in the city, is the young city lord preparing for an attack?
The young city lord has flirted with the princess, and he must have offended a lot of powerful people, especially those who want to marry the princess, they will want to do one thing, that is, to get rid of this stain.
So, what will the young city lord do? Why doesn't he seem to be afraid at all? He is confident, but he procrastinates, can it be said that he lacks time? As long as there is a little more time, he can not be afraid! This should be the truth.
