"We have been taken to the barracks for training for three months, and we can only wield knives and guns, and besides, the general has promised, we are only infantry, and if there is a war, there will be light cavalry and archers in front of us to open the way."

"What about Uncle Zheng? Why don't you see others? Ah Jiu asked, "What about the others?" ”

"Your Uncle Zheng is good at equestrianism, he became a little messenger, and everyone else is in the city, anyway, you can get a scoop of water in three days, and you can also get a steamed bun a day, you don't have to worry."

Ma Dabiao hurriedly followed the troops after hastily explaining, turned around and waved at Ah Jiu.

The mighty procession vanished into the distance like a swimming dragon, and then a group of light horsemen broke off.

Ah Jiu recognized at a glance that one of the people in it was Zhao Kun.

Xu was blocked by too many people outside the city, and Zhao Kun didn't notice her.

Ah Jiu returned to the ox cart and hurriedly told him about it.

At this time, the team in front of them showed signs of moving towards Nanming City, but the speed was very slow.

"When will we have to wait until we enter the city, and if we don't go back, we will have to check them one by one." Meng Shaode hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What are you afraid of, there is still half a day in the world today, and you can climb into the city before dark." Cai Lihua is optimistic.

Ah Jiu thought about it, and sat quietly in the car with the two children in his arms and waited.

I don't know how long, the autumn sun is so hot that people can't open their eyes.

There was a sudden commotion in front of him: "Why don't you let us enter the city, why?" ”

"Yes, we are all citizens of Nanming City, why don't we let us enter the city."

In an instant, the voice in front of him rushed to Ah Jiu's side like a tide.

Later, there were displaced people from other villages who came one after another, they were relatively close to the city, and there were many marriages in several villages, so the news spread very quickly.

"Not let in?" Cai Lihua stood up suddenly.

"Like, why is that? We have the paperwork in our hands. The more Meng Shaode waited, the more anxious he became.

"A notice was posted at the city gate." There was a shouting in front of me.

Suddenly, a group of people put the carriage and the family for the time being, and walked to the direction of the city gate.

Ah Jiu also jumped down, followed by Meng Shaode and Cai Lihua.

"Aunt Li, you take the children and wait here, don't go anywhere, lest you turn around and be scattered." Ah Jiu did not forget to explain.

When he squeezed to the city gate, it was not just a human wall with three layers inside and three layers outside, if it weren't for Meng Shaode holding his daughter and letting him sit on his shoulder, I am afraid that he would not even be able to see the appearance of the notice.

"Daughter, what are you talking about?"

Ah Jiu muttered word by word: "It roughly means that a strong man from a family can be allowed to enter the city by the family members of the soldiers." ”

"What? Isn't it not to catch strong men? Cai Lihua's heart was pounding.

Ah Jiu turned over: "King Nanming didn't say that he must be arrested, and at the end he also said that he respected the opinions of the people and pursued voluntary enlistment." ”

How could Ah Jiu vaguely feel that this King of Nanming seems to be well aware of righteousness on the surface, but in fact he is forcing him to join the army with the slogan of conforming to the people's feelings, and he will not get the infamy of catching strong men, and the people who join the army are like Uncle Ma, who are willing to work hard.

"yes, what a trick this is." Meng Shaode's face was ugly, because he was the only one in their family who was qualified to join the army.

"Shaode, we have a clerical work." Cai Lihua looked at the man worriedly.

"Youwen is also Xiaoyan as a guarantee, besides, is he big or the prince big?" Meng Shaode walked a few steps out of the crowd, squatted down helplessly and scratched his scalp a few times.

At this time, there were already people in the crowd to sign up, and soon there was a long queue of twenty or thirty people.

"I'll go, big brother, you take care of the family, fortunately we are two brothers."

"Otherwise, I'll go, and you will take care of our father and mother at home."

"You have two brothers, and I am the only one in our family, and I don't want to go." The faces of the hesitant wanderers were lifeless.

"If you don't go, you won't survive if you start a war outside the city later, if you enter the city, King Nanming will send someone to share some food for our family."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was thinking about the stakes.

"I'll go, you are safe in the city, and there is no shortage of food and drink, no matter what, it is a hundred times better than those who are fleeing from the famine outside and are afraid of bandits and homeless people." These words were heard in Meng Shaode's ears, and he stood up and walked to the queue.

"Shaode!" Cai Lihua's eyes were red.
