Liu Ruyan vaguely felt that the gold lord had the ability to control Wangfeng Tower, and even make a move against the imperial court and the sect, and the power behind it should definitely not be underestimated.

A hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen.

Only by uprooting these people can we completely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

Halfway through noon, Liu Ruyan left the room.

When Jin Buchang learned that they were going to Xingwangfu, he actually offered to go together.

Jin Buchang has a lot of land in the south, and the grain crops he grows are in short supply in the north, and every year in spring, he will personally go to the Southern Han Dynasty. However, due to the delay in this year's pass, it was postponed for several months.

The entrance to the inn.

Liu Ruyan just drove the carriage out of the yard, and on the opposite street, a person suddenly ran in.

The man was wearing a frost-colored placket robe, and he had an elegant air, and beckoned to her from afar: "Little brother! ”

Liu Ruyan looked for prestige, and her eyebrows raised slightly: "Brother Gu Ren? ”

Gu Tian approached in a few steps, panting slightly.

He took out a bamboo tube from his arms and said slightly apologetically: "I was in a hurry last time, and I took the wrong painting, and I hope that the little brother will not be surprised." ”

Liu Ruyan's eyes fell, and she looked at the bamboo tube: "How can you blame it, Brother Gu's painting skills are exquisite, especially this Asura, which is quite suitable for my eyes." ”

"I didn't expect the little brother to like it too." Gu Tian looked at her, and there was a little more relief in his light voice, "In fact, among these paintings, Gu Mou's favorite is this one." ”

"A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, since it is Brother Gu's heart, he will get it back."

As her voice fell, Liu Ruyan received a wave of prompts: "Loyalty +5, a total of 25 at present." ”

Changing back to the painting, she saw Gu Tian with luggage, so she asked with a smile: "Looking at Brother Gu's dress, are you planning to go far away?" ”

He nodded with a smile: "I made an appointment with my friends to visit Jinling, and I was planning to take a boat south, and by the way, I would take a look at the lakes and mountains along the way." ”

"Jinling is a good place to go because of its beautiful scenery." Liu Ruyan agreed, she crossed her hands and bowed slightly, "In this way, we will take the first step, and there will be a period later." ”

"There will be a date later."

The weather is gradually getting warmer.

Liu Ruyan changed into early summer clothes, a light green cross-collared robe with a plain color, which made her skin as white as jade.

Now that she has been trapped on the border for several days, it is a time when the war is tight, and after the Song State captured Nanping, she is preparing to gather an army to attack the Southern Han.

Now that the countries are under martial law, only merchants can handle the places used to travel to various countries. Liu Ruyan was trapped for a long time, so she had to go around to find out the news.

Now the Song army implements a conscription system, and they recruit soldiers along the road, and in addition to distributing clothing, recruits can also receive a certain amount of military pay every month.

As the conscription went on for a few days, Liu Ruyan remained stationary. She planned to find a suitable time to go with the army.

According to the hint, the next Xuankun Seal will appear in the Southern Han Water Division Camp, and the guardian of the mocking wind is about to appear.

When Jin Buchang learned that she planned to join the army, he was speechless for a while.

"If you join the army, my son won't be involved." He waved his hand repeatedly.

Liu Ruyan bent her eyes and said jokingly: "Jin Gongzi is delicate and expensive, it is indeed inappropriate." ”

Jin Buchang hit her forehead: "Tsk, we businessmen are out with a tight schedule, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”

"Brother Jin is too worried, little brother, I didn't say anything." She arched her hand, looking innocent.

When Jin Buchang was leaving, Liu Ruyan said goodbye in person.

She handed over Yebai and the carriage to Jin Buchang to take care of, and when she found Xuankun Yin, she would go to meet him.

The man boarded the wheel on the street, and the cuffs embroidered with gold silk were slightly raised, and Liu Ruyan understood and walked in front of him in a few steps.

He leaned over slightly, wrapped his hand around her green silk, lifted a strand of jet-black hair, and played with it casually.

"I remember what you said, let the gold lord behind the scenes return, this son is very much looking forward to it......" Jin Buchang's lips hooked lightly, and his ears and temples murmured.

"In that case, how dare I let Jin Gongzi ruin his fun." She looked up, her eyes glazed over.

"That's good." Jin Buchang let go of his palm, straightened up, and looked at her quietly.

After a while, a smile welled up on the corner of his lips, showing a frivolous attitude, "If Brother Liu changes his mind one day, my son's arms will be open to you at any time." ”

His voice is lazy and casual, and when he speaks on weekdays, every word seems to be contained in his tongue, but this time he raised his voice, attracting the attention of the surrounding crowd.

In this regard, Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes: "Hey, the master is not uncommon with you." ”

She turned sharply, her pale green back gradually blending into the crowd.

Jin Buchang sat back in the car, his eyes following her back until he ...... Never to be found again.

"Miss Liu, take care." He said very lightly.

Conscription was carried out to the final stage.

Anyone who joins the army needs to register at the military service office in the town, and the chief of the guard will check the list submitted by each township, and after checking that it is correct, he can become an official forbidden army, and after training, participate in the battle.

On this day, three men walked on the country road, talking one after the other.

Suddenly, a strange wind blew in the forest.

There was a lot of smoke in the wind, and these people happened to be hit, and they fell to the ground with their heads up, and were quickly dragged into the woods by Liu Ruyan, Bai Zhi and Dong Qingxian, who followed behind.

A moment later, three men walked out of the country road again, all of them yellow-skinned and unremarkable.

They came to the Selective Service Office and formed a long queue with the rest of the villagers.

When it was Liu Ruyan's turn, the chief of the guard asked without raising his head: "Report the name." ”

"Wang Dazhuang!" Her voice was loud and authentic.

The chief of the guard opened the directory and found Wang Dazhuang's name and drew a circle.

"Next."

Dong Qingxian stepped forward and said quite shyly: "My name is Zhang Erhei." ”

The chief of the guard continued to flip and draw a circle on Zhang Erhei's name.

"Next."

Bai Zhi's face was strange, and her expression was even more awkward.

"Report your name!" The chief of the guard waited impatiently.

Bai Zhi lowered her head, and her voice was like a mosquito: "Gou Dan." ”

"What,?" The chief of the guard finally raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him.

There was laughter around: "This kid's name is really good!" ”

The chief of the guard flipped through the directory back and forth, frowning: "Where are there any dog eggs?" ”

Bai Zhi picked up the pen on the table and slowly dropped two words between the papers-Gou Dan.

"Yo, I'm still a literate master." The chief of the guard frowned, and he was even more impressed by the young man in front of him.

After checking their identities, Liu Ruyan and the others carried their own dry food and straw mats on their backs and went to the camp to report.

When the new army was fully assembled, they set out with the veterans.

It took half a month for the vast procession to march out of the Song Kingdom, and the soldiers would train along the way, and it would take several months to reach the Southern Han Dynasty.

Most of these new recruits had never served in the military, and many military skills had to be learned from scratch.

Mid-June.

When passing through the Jiangnan area, it was a scorching heat, and many recruits died of dysentery due to unaccustomed water and soil, unclean diet, etc., and their bodies were hastily buried in the soil.

Wormwood was smoked everywhere in the camp, and Bai Zhi took the initiative to ask for it and was transferred to the military doctor's office.

When the dysentery was brought under control, the procession continued southward.
