Li Chengtang recognized the road and led thousands of soldiers to the west. The mountains are shading, making the twilight dull and the spring cold even colder. But these people were suddenly released, eager to be in good spirits, and they marched all the way at a very fast speed.

The road is winding, and there is a valley mouth in front of it. The afterglow of the setting sun shone in violently and sprinkled on everyone, and the battle clothes were shining brightly.

Thousands of people are running and jubilant, and they can finally go home to see!

Outside the valley, there is an open field, and the road is criss-crossed.

Li Chengtang stopped, and the hundred-person team gathered together to salute: "I'll wait to say goodbye to the brigade commander, then return to the camp, and wait for the brigade commander's order at any time here!" ”

Thousands of people also gathered together and shouted: "Farewell to the brigade commander, if we can return here again, we should take the brigade commander in the future!" ”

Li Chengtang greeted the afterglow and said loudly: "As a Tang Erlang, it is natural for the country and the people, although there are violations in this military town, but the husband should be unruly for the sake of righteousness, and he must not penetrate the secrets here after going out!" If anyone wants to come back in the future, just report Li Chengtang's name! ”

Under the sunset, Li Chengtang's whole body shone with a light. Everyone saw it with respect and shouted "No" in unison! Then they dispersed.

Li Chengtang watched the 100-person team leave, and couldn't help but feel sad and parting. He didn't know what would happen to these people when they returned to the barracks, but he believed that Liu Jinghao would at least not hurt their lives.

After a month of getting along, he has developed bonds with these people. And they also treat each other as if they were teachers. When planning to mutiny and leave the camp, he asked them for their opinions, and although they did not go home, they still obeyed the orders of their division and built momentum everywhere, and finally this result. And these people only know that his name is Li Tang.

So when he said goodbye, he told these people that his name was Li Chengtang, and let them report this name when they returned to the barracks!

Li Chengtang watched them disappear into the twilight of the valley, and his mood improved again. He believes that such a fuss will definitely wake up his grandfather! He won't let grandpa be lawless!

Half an hour later, Ran Jingjing flew over.

In the twilight, looking at Li Chengtang who was standing at the mouth of the valley, he smiled and said coquettishly: "I have already told Liu Jinghao, he really didn't chase after him, let's go!" ”

Li Chengtang saw Ran Jingjing, who had recovered her appearance, and was a little haggard in the twilight.

seems to have been accompanying herself without regrets since I met her, from an eldest lady to Cinderella, I couldn't help feeling guilty, pulled her soft and said: "Jingjing, I've suffered you these days." ”

Ran Jingjing smiled sweetly, and felt that any hard work disappeared without a trace.

The spring is cold, and the night wind is like a knife. The two of them galloped all the way, and finally found a place to rest in a place called Fangshan Village.

This is the only inn within a radius of more than ten miles, although the inn is small, but the service is relatively comprehensive. The two of them called the wooden barrel for bathing, bathed comfortably in the room, and the fatigue of a month suddenly turned into nothing.

On the second day, the two changed their clothes and went straight to Quyang. According to Ran Jingjing, they only stayed in the military camp for a month, and they didn't earn any silver taels, and they didn't have much silver taels left, so they had to go to Quyang to try their luck and see if there was any Ran family's industry, so they could get some silver flowers.

Quyang belongs to Dingzhou Chuling County, Hebei Province, and is the seat of Chuling County, south of Changshan County, Zhenzhou. The intersection of Zhenzhou and Dingzhou is also the intersection of the two counties. The town is relatively prosperous, and many businesses have branches here.

The two of them had no horse strength on their feet, and they walked and flew in the wilderness. I walked for more than ten days before I saw Quyang. It was close to noon when I entered Quyang.

Ran Jingjing looked at the dusty appearance of the two of them and asked, "Brother Li, shall we enter the city like this?" ”

Li Chengtang laughed and said: "Although I love cleanliness, I can't sell my clothes and change them before entering the city, and besides, there are no clothes outside the city." ”

The two of them have gone all the way, and they have almost become one person, and they no longer have any rustiness, and they speak very casually.

Ran Jingjing snorted, "No, I'm talking about no makeup, aren't you afraid that the 'Procuratorate' will find out?" ”

Li Chengtang looked around, and didn't see anyone paying attention, "We traveled all the way, and I didn't see anyone disturbing us, I have now recovered ninety percent of my strength, and I'm not afraid of what they will do, besides, we are all dirty like this, a few people recognize it, let's go, go to the city to find something delicious." ”

"The silver is gone, and I still look for something delicious, just don't starve, Brother Li's idea of eating all the food in the world can't be done, hehehehe......" Ran Jingjing ran into Quyang City with a smile.

Xiangyang Road is the most prosperous street in Quyang City, and many businesses are located here. Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing finally found a relatively cheap inn at the end of the street.

Ran Jingjing is now like a housekeeper, calculating expenses like a living.

Despite this, the two still asked for an upper room. Due to the shortage of silver, the two no longer shy away from anything, and often live together along the way. Anyway, Ran Jingjing has already made up her mind that if Li Chengtang does not marry in this life, there will be nothing left.

This inn is upstairs for lodging and downstairs for the wine shop. The two changed their clothes and washed up again before going downstairs to eat.

Ran Jingjing said while going downstairs: "After dinner, my brother will wait in the room in the afternoon, Jingjing will go to check if there is any business name of the Ran family, if there is no silver tael, I am afraid that we will have to beg to Weizhou." ”

Li Chengtang smiled bitterly and deeply realized the importance of money. He thought that the "Procuratorate" could actually raise an army, but he really didn't know how many "Procuratorate" businesses there were in the whole world, and how much money they could make in a year.

Regarding the "Prosecutor's Office", he felt that he was completely hollowed out by his grandfather. According to the clan rules, as long as he and the crown are out of the rivers and lakes, the personnel organization and business name arrangements of the "Procuratorate" should all be handed over to him. But up to now, he has no idea about the arrangements of the "Procuratorate" in various places.

People are habitually suspicious and fearful of the unknown.

The various arrangements of the old sect master Li Nianzu pushed Li Chengtang to the opposite side. Especially when Li Chengtang was suddenly asked to go back to complete the marriage, he was even more confused.

From Li Nianzu's point of view, his purpose is nothing more than to leave a bloodline for the Lingnan Li family, but this is definitely not wishful thinking. I don't know what Ayiyi thinks at this time.

Li Chengtang suddenly missed Ayiyi, I don't know how Ayiyi is doing on Star Island, is her injury healed? I hope grandpa doesn't embarrass her!

Of course, Li Chengtang didn't know that the marriage partner arranged by his grandfather was Ayiyi!

Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing sat in a corner.

Ran Jingjing ordered some wine and food and waited slowly. looked at Li Chengtang's distracted appearance, thinking that he was thinking about her. Then he smiled shallowly and stared at Li Chengtang, completely nothing.

It's customer time in the restaurant, maybe because it's cheap and there are a lot of characters. Talk.

"Have you heard, the soldiers who were forcibly recruited here and disappeared for two years have returned home?"

"I also know, and I also heard that the conscription in the past two years was not done by the imperial court, but by an organization called the 'Procuratorate' in private."

"Isn't that an attempt to rebel?"

"Shhh, this organization is not simple, it is said that the festival makes all adults have to listen to orders, don't get into trouble."

"If Jiedu makes all the adults obey orders, then the conscription is not the same as the imperial court!

"This benevolent brother, that's not what you said, the regular conscription of the imperial court has to distribute food and land, and family members can follow the army!"

"Not really!"

"Snort, you don't know yet, the Jiedu envoy has already issued a notice, the conscription in the past two years is normal recruitment, and all the soldiers who have been recruited in the past two years can go home, and there is a recruiting place to divide, and many people still want to go back."

"Brother, have you known that a 'divine machine gate' has appeared on the rivers and lakes recently? I heard that in June this year, a hero post will be widely published, inviting all major sects to watch the ceremony! ”

"I also heard that the opening ceremony will be held at the end of June, and many seniors will participate."

"Yes, it is said that the masters of the 'Divine Machine Gate' are gathered, and they can become the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance in the future, how about we join this sect?"

Li Chengtang lowered his head very low, listening to the talk of people from all walks of life in the restaurant, and secretly thought in his heart, it seems that his trouble really forced his grandfather to rearrange it, so that if they really have any conspiracy, it will become a conspiracy. Ordinary people will no longer have to suffer from conscription.

Thinking of this, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Xiao Er, serve the wine!" ”

Ran Jingjing was taken aback by him, and looked at the table, it turned out that one of them was contemplative and the other was obsessed, and they had been sitting for half an hour. I guess the guys were too busy and didn't take care of them.

Xiao Er's ass ran over and said while pouring wine: "I've kept you waiting, guest officer, I'm sorry!" ”

Li Chengtang took advantage of the situation and asked, "Xiao Er, have many soldiers been forcibly recruited here?" ”

The little second said in a low voice: "No, the people have suffered in the past two years, and people have been taken away without seeing people dead or dead." ”

Ran Jingjing took a sip of wine, her face turned crimson, and asked, "Brother Li asked why is this?" ”

Li Chengtang lowered his voice, "I thought it was just Changshan County that had this matter, and now there is also this in Chuling County, and the two counties belong to two states, so it seems that the entire Hebei Province will be the sphere of influence of the 'Procuratorate', just now the person said that the Hebei Provincial Jiedu envoy obeyed the 'Procuratorate', eighty percent is true, Jingjing, we have to be careful." ”

Ran Jingjing raised her eyebrows, "Brother's martial arts have recovered now, we are still afraid that they will not succeed, not to mention that my brother is their little sect master, what can they do?" ”

Li Chengtang sighed, "Because of this, I don't want to tear my face with them, it's good to hide, everyone is not embarrassed." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw that the customers in the store were looking out the door.

Li Chengtang sat in the corner of the store and couldn't see the outside, guessing to himself. Suddenly, a team of officers and soldiers walked outside, took the lead in the store, and shouted: "This store has been chartered, and the idle people are all out!" ”

How dare the people in the store go against the government, they put down the wine and food one after another, and even if there are a few people in the rivers and lakes, they dare not speak out.

Li Chengtang and Ran Jingjing only took a sip of wine, and they didn't serve any dishes, they were very hungry, where were they willing to move. Moreover, it was paid for the money. They don't have enough silver on them, so they must have to eat it all.

When those officers and soldiers saw that Li Chengtang did not move his seat, they did not come to drive him away.

Xiao Er looked strange, but the guest's dishes still had to be served. Now it's just him at one table, which is much faster. So they brought their food.

Although Li Chengtang was also strange, he ignored them and ate slowly with Ran Jingjing. waited for the two of them to have a pot of wine, but saw two adults dressed in official mansions walking in with Fuping Naqi, followed by a few people, one of whom was Ayiyi.
