The next morning, all the scholars were proclaimed into the temple. Ru Yi was the leader of high school and was personally named by the emperor as a member of the Zhengliupin Ministry of Foreign Affairs, directly under the Daxia royal family. Mu Yi ranked last, but he was given a vacant position as an assistant lieutenant from Jiupin Rong, and he was appointed when there was a vacancy in the military department.

Mu Yi has no real job, so he has to return to his hometown first and wait for the imperial edict. When leaving Beijing, Ru Yi came to say goodbye, the two looked at each other, Mu Yi had a thousand words in his heart, but he could only say "cherish". It's just this sentence of "cherishing", and the two of them will really be separated from each other from then on!

When Mu Yi rushed home, the good news of the imperial court had already reached Anchuan City.

Every year, there are only one hundred and twenty-nine new Jinshi in the Great Xia Dynasty, and most of them are from the state capital. On average, it takes 20 years for Yaskawa County to produce one jinshi. Although Qiaoshan Academy has more students in and out of the academy, most of them are students from other prefectures and counties in Lingzhou.

And this year, Anchuan County actually produced two Jinshi at the same time, one of whom was still the champion, which was really a celebration of the county, and even Tan Rulin, the county governor, rushed to the two to congratulate him. But Ru Yi has already taken up his post in Beijing, and his mother has no intention of supporting this pomp, and Mu Tianyang complains that Mu Yi went to take the military examination without authorization, and he just coped with it. Tan Rulin was not embarrassed or embarrassed, and he didn't have any good faces on both sides.

Mu Yi had a stalemate with his father, but after returning to his hometown, he still lived in Yue Ting's house. The two were very happy to get together again so soon.

Yue Ting said with a smile: "The ancients called the list 'Famous Sun Mountain', but I didn't expect you to occupy the throne of this Sun Mountain today." Township, Hui, and Hall are the last in the three tests, you are also the only one, not easier than Ruyi's Lianzhong Sanyuan, I think this should be noted in the county annals, and you can also be famous for eternity. ”

Mu Yi laughed: "This is nature, as the saying goes, 'too much'." I will be good, not wasted at all. ”

The two of them had a fight, and Yue Ting asked again: "Second brother, you have won the Jinshi, but you don't have a real job." In the future, will you be able to stay in Yaskawa with your brother, I think the Anchuan Military Division is vacant, if you don't think that the official position of the Military Division has no grade, it doesn't hurt to do it, anyway, you have a false position from the ninth grade, and Yulu will not lose half a point. ”

Mu Yi shook his head and said: "A good man has ambitions in all directions, I have left a letter of recommendation in the military department and volunteered to go to the frontier to enlist in the army." When you earn military merits in the future, you can become a general as soon as possible. ”

"What," Yue Ting's two small eyes widened, more than twice as big as usual, "You want to be a general?"

"Yes," Mu Yi was very uncomfortable with Yue Ting, "I promised that I would marry Ru Yi after she became a general." ”

Yue Ting put his hand on his forehead: "Oh my God, what do you nerd know besides reading." The general is a product of the dynasty, on the same level as the prime minister, and he is a powerful minister under one person and above ten thousand people. It's so easy to do. ”

"Oh, it looks like I'm going to have to work harder and keep trying. Mu Yi clenched his fists and waved in front of him.

Yue Ting's eyes were black, and he almost fell to the ground. He thought to himself, Ru Yi was really deceiving Mu Yi. But that's okay, at least he has some fighting spirit, and when Mu Yi has been in the officialdom for a while, he will understand.

Mu Yi and the others were talking about this military division here, and on the other side, Mu Tianyang was also asking Tan Zhixian for the position of this military division.

Tan Zhixian said with a smile: "Brother Mu, although rest assured, the position of this military division has been vacant for a long time, and Ling Lang is from the same jinshi, and he went to this government to serve as a military division, which is already a yield, so why is it difficult." It's just that why doesn't Brother Mu take care of it and find a real job for Lin'er in the army, if he can make contributions, the future is immeasurable. ”

"Thank you Lord Zhixian for your kindness, this army is full of dangers, and there is no one who can be knighted. Although I hope that Yi'er can be made a marquis, I just want him to make a difference in officialdom and glorify his ancestors. But now that he is a soldier, I can only hope that he will stay in Anchuan and have no worries about food and clothing. Don't go to the battlefield and turn into dry bones in the dust. ”

Tan Zhixian also sighed when he heard this, after all, the military department is still not as good as the liberal arts, otherwise Mu Yi would now have the position of the chief bookkeeper.

Mu Tianyang was thinking about the affairs of the military division of Nafu, but the imperial court suddenly issued an edict to worship Mu Yi as a strategist under the southern army account of Daxia Town, and go to southern Xinjiang to take office from now on.

After receiving the edict, Mu Tian raised his eyebrows and locked deeply, but Mu Yi smiled. Mu Tianyang was reluctant to let Mu Yi go to the battlefield to die, he only hated that he didn't go to Tan Zhixian earlier to ask for the position of the military division, otherwise Mu Yi would have a real job, and he would not be recruited in the military department except for his name. Mu Yi didn't understand his father's thoughts, and he didn't say goodbye to his father, he only met his mother in a hurry, so he packed up and rushed to southern Xinjiang.

However, it is said that the road in southern Xinjiang is far away, even if Mu Yi is in a hurry every day, when he arrives at the camp of the Southern Army in Nanjiang Town, it has been more than three months. Thanks to the Yun family, Mu Yi was better fed and clothed on the road, and brought him more coils. Rao is like this, and when he arrived at the barracks, there was not much silver left on his body.

Mu Yi presented the imperial edict and was given the position of a strategist by Yilu. He had a long journey, hastily packed up his barracks, and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Mu Yi slept soundly, and was suddenly dragged out of the camp tent by two sergeants, and beat the five army sticks without saying anything. If you want to say that Mu Yi has been studying since he was a child, how can he bear this sin, he was beaten and his legs trembled.

When he arrived at the handsome tent, he realized that he had slept too hard, and he did not line up to assemble after the wake-up horn sounded, and violated military regulations, so he was punished with ten military sticks according to the law.

Mu Yi was very angry in his heart, and no one told him yesterday to respond to Mao's matter. But the other generals and strategists in the account not only did not defend him, but all of them showed mockery. Thinking that his peers from ancient times deceived each other, these military strategists saw that he was new, so they deliberately gave him a dismount.

In the next few days, Mu Yi was punished almost every day, either because he didn't know that there could be no waste of food, or he was deliberately led to the forbidden place in the camp. He sleeps on his stomach every day, and he can be woken up in his dreams.

In the end, Mu Yi is just a sixteen-year-old child, how can he withstand this torture. In a few days, his face was yellow and thin, and he walked straight and shaky.

Fortunately, there was an old man in his fifties who was kind-hearted, and after that, every day when he had time, he would tell him the rules of the camp and instruct him on how to do things, so he could barely support himself.

Mu Yi was favored by the old man, and he was grateful.

The old counsellor sighed and said, "Pity you, a child so young, that he should come to the camp to suffer." In the future, be smart, and you will be able to gain a foothold in this army. ”

Mu Yi said: "Thank you seniors for your advice, these days fortunately, thanks to the seniors, the kid can avoid a lot of flesh and skin suffering." ”

This old strategist's name is Wu Wenju, although his name is Wenju, he has been in the Zhennan Army for more than ten years.

Wu Wenju smiled bitterly: "What can I carry you, it's just to teach you how to live." ”

Mu Yi saw that the old man was quite capable, but he was still only the lowest strategist in the barracks, so he had doubts, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Senior, the kid has a question, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Wu Wenju turned around and said, "I know what you want to ask, do you think I'm still a little strategist at my age." ”

Mu Yi was guessed through his thoughts, and couldn't help nodding embarrassedly.

"Do you know where all the colleagues who went into this barracks with me are today?"

Mu Yi thought to himself: "Presumably, most of them have been promoted to knighthood. But he didn't dare to make a mistake in his mouth, so he said, "The kid doesn't know." ”

Wu Wen raised his finger to the south and said in a deep voice: "Except for those who have a doorway at home and leave the army and return to their hometowns, the rest of the people are under the loess." ”

Mu Yi seemed to have a basin of cold water broken on his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Why is this, could it be that I waited for ten years to study hard in the cold window, but I was forced to die by the imperial court." ”

The old man saw Mu Yi being frightened, and laughed: "You don't have to be afraid, even the generals won't force you to go to the battlefield to die, they all have to go by themselves." ”

"Why?" Mu Yiqi said.

"Because I can't bear the suffering of this army. The old man said in a deep voice: "If you don't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, I look forward to being a general." I can only be like me, a strategist for the rest of my life, and I will be called and drunk. Even if it's a captain, you can tell me to wait. Besides, there are no women in the army, and it is difficult for a young strategist to even marry a lady, so how can he bear it. The older ones can't bear the pain of lovesickness, and they can't help it. ”

Mu Yi complained bitterly in his heart: "Is there no other way to be promoted?" Since we were born in the military department, we have learned the art of war and the art of strategy, so we should give advice to the general. ”

Wu Wenju sighed: "Didn't the old man think like this at the beginning. But when I arrived in the army, I found out that the general had his own military advisers under his account, and they were all experienced in a hundred battles. No matter how bad it is, there is a general who is the top of the military department. When will it be our turn to wait for the little strategists to give advice? Although we have official positions, we are just sorting out some copywriting and doing some miscellaneous work. ”

After that, he said to Mu Yi: "If you have a way at home, quickly transfer this army and go back to the state capital to find an errand in the army." ”

Mu Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm just a country boy, what kind of door can I have at home." What's more, the kid had already recommended himself to the frontier for fame, so how could he return here. ”

The old man sighed when he heard this: "I was nearly forty years old when I became a jinshi, and I already had a wife and children at home. Only when he is fifty-four years old, he can return to his hometown. You are only sixteen years old this year, how can you endure it for nearly forty years? ”

He added: "It seems that you also want to go to the battlefield to make contributions, but this road can be said to be lifeless." ”

Mu Yi smiled bitterly: "Thank you seniors for your advice, the kid can only be familiar with the things in this army for the time being, and then find a way out." ”

Wu Wenju also nodded yes when he heard this. Then beckoned Mu Yi to go to the military division camp to sort out the copywriting.

Before you know it, the end of the year has arrived. There are only three days off in the military year. It takes half a year for Mu Yi to go home and go back and forth, so naturally he can only stay in the barracks.

Years later, Mu Yi received two letters, one was written by his mother because he was concerned about him, and the other was Yue Ting asking about his situation in the army.

Mu Yi couldn't bear to tell his mother the truth in general, so he could only say that everything was fine, don't worry about it. But in the reply letter to the eldest brother, I couldn't help but tell the suffering in the army one by one, which can be regarded as venting the bitterness in my heart.

In his spare time, Mu Yi often thinks of Ruyi. Thinking that Ru Yi is an official in the court and is directly under the royal family, he will definitely have a bright future in the future, and he will have to do miscellaneous duties in this army in his life, I am afraid that the two of them will not have a chance since then, and I can't help but feel sad in my heart. Thinking that Ru Yi is so beautiful, even if it is a prince, even if the emperor takes a fancy to it, Ru Yi can't refuse. Thinking of this, I was even more heartbroken, only suffering from the lack of alcohol in the army, otherwise I would have to drink all day long.

The days in the army were boring, but fortunately, there were a few young military commanders who were familiar with Mu Yi, and they could barely survive by blowing about the battles on the battlefield with him. And so it went on until the end of the next year.

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Yi was chatting in the camp with several officers who were also from other towns. Suddenly, the camp guard came and said that he had an old man visiting.

Mu Yi was very curious in his heart, in this barren land in southern Xinjiang, what old man did he have?

When I went outside the camp, I saw a beggar squatting on the edge of the camp gate, and when I saw Mu Yi coming, I got up slowly.

Mu Yi took a closer look, and it turned out to be Yue Ting! When the two saw each other, they immediately hugged and cried. After crying, Yue Ting wiped his face and said, "Why are you holding me and crying?"

Mu Yi wiped his tears and said, "Naturally, I miss my eldest brother, aren't you crying for this?"

Yue Ting pursed his lips and smiled as if he was fine: "Naturally not, men don't flick when they have tears." I was only hungry for three days, and when I finally got to you, I was able to eat a big meal, and then I cried with joy. ”

Mu Yi knew that he was saving face, so he didn't break it, so he took him to his camp tent, and went to the camp man to ask for food and bring it to Yue Ting.

Yue Ting ate the weight of ten people, and Mu Yi's eyes were about to pop out, so he wiped his mouth and said, "What do you see, I haven't seen my brother eat." ”

Mu Yi hurriedly asked Yue Ting why he was so miserable, didn't he come from the wilderness?

Yue Ting sighed before he slowly told the story along the way.

Yue Ting saw his brother's letter at the beginning of the year, and felt that Mu Yi was always bullied in the army, so he was not angry, so he decided to go south to accompany Mu Yi in the army, and the two of them at least had a care.

Mu Yixin said that he went to southern Xinjiang for three months, but he didn't say that he was traveling day and night. Yue Ting took the coil for three months, traveling during the day and staying in the hotel at night, and before he was halfway there, the coil was gone.

After that, he couldn't help it, and at first he could work part-time in the local area to earn some money and then continue to leave. But the further south you go, the more wild you are, and there is no place to work, so you can only beg and walk, and if you can't do it, you can find some wild fruits and vegetables in the wild. It took me nine months to get to southern Xinjiang.

Mu Yi was even more moved when he heard this, and couldn't help crying.

Yue Ting hurriedly said: "Don't cry, brother didn't come here for you." ”

It turned out that Yue Ting's parents passed away one after another at the end of last year, and Yue Ting also had an older brother, who was dissatisfied with selling farming cattle for his father to study. So in the name that he could teach and support himself, and he didn't need the countryside land, he occupied all the land of Lao Yue's family. Yue Ting was righteous and did not want to fight with his brothers, so he moved to live in the academy.

Mu Tianyang saw that Yue Ting was lonely, so he discussed with the academy and found him a position as a library manager, and he could take up the post as soon as the fall semester started.

But in March, he received a reply from Mu Yi, he saw that Mu Yi was miserable in the army, and thought that he was lonely in Anchuan, so he decided to go to southern Xinjiang to find Mu Yi. After he packed his bags, the silver taels were just enough for three months, so he resigned from his position and went south.

The two sighed with emotion again, and then went to the Shuai tent to find General Zhennan, wanting to do an errand for Yue Ting.

In the past, people always tried to leave, and there were always vacant positions, especially civilian jobs. General Zhennan was also extremely happy to see that someone had taken the initiative to come. Yue Ting was a talented man again, so he made him a warehouse manager, and asked him to take care of a warehouse and record the daily income and expenditure of weapons, grain and grass.
