Although Zhao Hanzhang didn't say anything, the relationship between her and Liu Kun cooled rapidly, and the honeymoon period between the two ended at the beginning.

Although Zhao Hanzhang was still smiling when facing Liu Kun, he acted much stronger, and after Liu Kun sent a letter and made an appointment to meet Tuoba Yilu, she immediately began to recruit troops.

What Zhao Hanzhang and Liu Kun didn't expect was that the recruitment announcement was posted, and before they had time to beat the gongs and drums to announce it to the world, the young adults of Jinyang rushed to the military camp to enlist.

Not only men, but also women between the ages of 16 and 30 also hula and ran a lot, all of whom wanted to serve in the army.

Zhao Hanzhang took out two children from the team and put them in front of the wheels to compare, one was higher than the wheel, and the other was one finger short of the wheel.

She reached out again and wiped the dirty face of the shortest child, and was speechless for a while, "You are still young, at least you have to have my ears so high to join the army." ”

Then he turned around and was about to leave.

The two children immediately reached out and grabbed the corner of her clothes, and begged with their eyes: "Please accept us, although we are young, we are very good at fighting, and we can already afford to hold a knife." ”

The eldest child was afraid that Zhao Hanzhang would not believe it, and wanted to reach out and pull the knife of the guard.

The guard's eyes lit up, and his hand pressed on the hilt of the knife and did not move.

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand at him, and smiled with the child: "It's not a matter of strength, it's that you are too young and want to serve the country, and you will be older in a few years." ”

The child didn't want to think about it: "I don't want to repay the country, I just want to follow the envoy, I want to repay, and I also repay the envoy." ”

He looked up at Zhao Hanzhang with his head tilted, and said, "Envoy, you accept me, I want to live, and my brother wants to live too." ”

When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he looked down at the dwarf child again, and she also looked at her with round eyes, and her eyes were full of expectations.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Didn't Liu Tingshi set up a shelter to contain you?" ”

The two children were silent at the same time, and the older child took a step back, pulling the younger child and wanting to leave, but he was not too willing to leave.

When Zhao Hanzhang saw it, his heart softened, and he turned around and said, "Come with me." ”

When the two children heard this, their eyes lit up and they immediately followed.

The guards didn't stop them anymore, but they weren't allowed to get too close to Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang led them into the barracks and said to Zhao Jiaya, the female soldier who followed: "Take them down to freshen up and find them two sets of clothes." ”

Zhao Hanzhang pointed to the shorter child and said, "Find her a girl's clothes." ”

When the two children heard this, they knew that their disguise had been seen through, and they lowered their heads in embarrassment, and honestly followed the female soldier to freshen up and change clothes.

Zhao Jiaya is a sixteen-year-old girl, she was rescued by Zhao Hanzhang four years ago, and she entered Yushan Hall and School at that time, while studying, while practicing martial arts, and finally was selected for special training.

She turned 16 this year before she came to the army to be Zhao Hanzhang's personal guard, and her current surname and first name were taken after being rescued.

She was familiar with the state of her two children, wasn't she the same four years ago?

She turned to the two of them and asked, "How old are you?" ”

The boy said, "I'm eleven years old, my brother, my sister is nine. ”

Zhao Jiaya found a set of clothes for each of them, and said, "When you return to Luoyang, you can go to school." ”

The little boy was apprehensive and asked, "Are we going to leave the envoy and make a living?" ”

"Don't worry, the children in Yushantang, unless there are starving people in the army, Yushantang will not run out of food, you are still young, you can't do anything with the envoy, you have to learn the skills first, and then repay the envoy after learning."

Zhao Jiaya said: "I am the child from Yushantang, I was as old as you when I first entered, and in four years, I will be able to serve by the envoy's side." ”

The little boy's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you have any money?" ”

"Of course, I call it military pay! It's a penny a month. ”

The two children were amazed, and the little girl, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask, "Will my brother and I be separated?" ”

"If you don't want to be separated, you won't be separated," Zhao Jiaya said: "But when you get to Yushantang, the places where you sleep at night must be separated, boys and boys live together, girls and girls live together, and you can't go over." ”

"During the day, we mostly go to class together, eat in one place, and work in one place."

The little boy asked anxiously, "What do you want to do?" Farming? Or dig aqueducts and build walls? ”

"Let's farm," Zhao Jiaya said speechlessly: "How old are you, where can you be used for digging canals and building city walls?" ”

"For your own weight, the adults will do the light work of planting seedlings, sowing seeds, pulling weeds, or harvesting. If you are talented, you can also learn carpentry, weaving, and so on, and if you can learn it, it will be easier to assign jobs. She said: "I just don't have talent, and in the end I played the best sword, so I was selected to train and serve as a soldier in the army." ”

Both children wowed, looking at her in amazement.

Zhao Jiaya raised her chin proudly, and when she saw that they had lowered their guard slightly, she casually asked, "What will you all do?" I can't say that I can discover your talent, and introduce you to a few teachers in advance, I am familiar with the people in Yushan Hall and the school, and several of my classmates are helping in the school at this time, while studying, it is to teach people like you who are new to the school and don't know anything to read and write. ”

The boy immediately said: "I have a lot of strength, I can fight, and I think I can also be a personal guard." ”

As for the guard, that is the henchman around the assassin Shi, and he will not be able to be a general in the future.

The little girl also looked at Zhao Jiaya with sparkling eyes, and wanted to be like her.

Zhao Jiaya smiled and asked, "You used to fight a lot?" ”

Half an hour later, Zhao Jiaya went to see Zhao Hanzhang and reported to her: "They are a family of eight who moved here, because they heard about the reputation of Liu Tingshi, and the land in their family was encircled by the Huns as a pasture, and then the family came to vote." ”

"But in only three years, their grandfather, father and brother all died in the defense of the city, this time the Xiongnu besieged the city again, one of their mothers starved to death, and the other died of fighting for food when they went out to beg," Zhao Jiaya paused and said: "They are cousins, and there are traffickers in the city who specifically target girls under the age of fourteen in the city, and choose those who are beautiful to take away and sell to other places." ”

"The price is no more than five buckets of rice, and the price is low, and two buns will replace the person, but the theft of girls in the city is frequent, and the yamen has no effective measures to stop it."

Zhao Hanzhang tightened his face and asked, "Jinyang Ling eats dry rice?" ”

Zhao Jiaya didn't speak, and Zhao Hanzhang remembered that Jin Yangling really ate dry food, and now she is still locked up in her barracks.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Is Xu Run's illness cured?" ”

"The fever has subsided."

"Then send him away early tomorrow morning, send him back to Luoyang directly, let people keep an eye on him, as long as he doesn't leave Luoyang, everything will follow the law, if he dares to flee privately, there will be no mercy; If you commit a crime, you will be dealt with according to the law! ”

"Yes."
