Enlistment
Ahead, something is indeed wrong.
When Zheng Fan and Feng Siniang went to the front hall, they saw two soldiers standing at the gate of the front hall, both of whom were wearing black leather armor.
Da Yan is still black, and the main color of the military uniform is black, but these two soldiers are just wearing leather armor, which proves that they should not be the elite of the Yan Forbidden Army or the elite of field battles, but the local defenders of Hutou City.
Under the stage in the front hall, a middle-aged man dressed as a clerk and a middle-aged lieutenant in armor stood together, and the clerk held a booklet in his hand and the lieutenant had a rebellious face.
"The one on the left is the local chief of Hutou City, surnamed Chen, who often comes to eat with us. I don't know the one on the right, I haven't seen it. Feng Siniang whispered to Zheng Fan, and then, she took a step forward and took the initiative to greet her, "Hey, what kind of wind blew our Master Chen's book here, and I didn't say hello to people earlier, so I can let the girls dress up." ”
When Master Chen saw Feng Siniang, a trace of evil desire flashed in his eyes, and he scolded with a smile:
"Okay, you girl here, my body can't stand it, and my skin is so rough that even the Qiu Ba in the barracks outside the city are more moisturized than you.
It's you, Siniang, I heard that you picked up a guest yesterday? ”
"Ouch, my master bookkeeper, I'm a big family, I have so many mouths, but I live on this business, and now everything is starting to be expensive, and people can't do it, I can't look at this big family without rice."
Master Chen stretched out his hand to grab Feng Siniang's hand, but was quietly dodged by Feng Siniang.
At this time, the captain next to him frowned a little dissatisfied, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the fact that Master Chen, who was beside him, had just called himself Qiu Ba.
But he didn't have anything because of this, although Dayan established the country with martial arts, but it also inherited peace for a long time, although the atmosphere of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force is not as heavy as that of those big countries, but it already has some wind direction.
However, after looking at the master book beside him, who had been only talking and laughing with the old bustard and delaying his business, the captain still snorted with some dissatisfaction.
It's just that, there is one thing to say, this old bustard is indeed very tasteful.
Qiu Ba naturally has Qiu Ba's aesthetics, and the captain heard that the men over there in Qianguo like weaker women, and it is best to bind their feet, but as a soldier, he still likes this kind of thick skeleton and thick meat, and this buttocks can afford a three-fold wave, which is absolutely good to raise.
Master Chen heard the snort, and immediately changed his complexion, showing a little flattery, looked at the captain beside him, and said:
"Captain Xue, don't worry, don't worry."
Immediately afterwards, Master Chen flipped through the booklet in his hand and said to Feng Siniang:
"Siniang, the imperial court conscripts labor, and on your family register, you get four dings."
"Oh my God, haven't you already been conscripted for this year's hard labor?" Feng Siniang covered her mouth and exclaimed.
For the ordinary people of Yan State, paying taxes and labor is an unavoidable hurdle, and it is also the obligation that every ordinary person should fulfill every year, but the rule is that the dead are alive, and if you have money, you can use the money to redeem your own labor.
The business of the inn is not bad, the first half of the labor has been requisitioned, and Siniang was bought with money.
"This, no way, isn't there something going on again?" Master Chen also said with some embarrassment.
"What's going on, this still doesn't let ordinary people like us live, oh my God."
"Presumptuous, the army is about to go on the march, as a citizen of Yan State, it is our duty to deliver grain and straw for the former army, you woman, dare to push back again, be careful that the general's knife does not recognize people!"
Captain Xue made a gesture to draw his sword, but Feng Siniang was also very cooperative and frightened to retreat again and again, covering her mouth, and didn't dare to scream anymore.
Master Chen shrugged his shoulders, he is a local official in Hutou City, and his family has been an official in Hutou City for several generations, and sometimes when he does things, he really can't let go, but fortunately, he has this Qiu Ba next to him as a villain.
"Siniang, according to the records in the household register, your household has Siding, Zheng Aming, Zheng Cheng, Zheng Li and Zheng Fan."
After Xue Xiaowei waited for Master Chen to finish speaking, he stepped on the chair and shouted:
"Don't call people out yet!"
"It's ............ This ............" Feng Siniang showed hesitation, turned her head and glanced at Zheng Fan first, and then bowed and said: "Two adults, it's not that people don't want to serve the country, but in fact, my family really can't produce four dings now." ”
Without waiting for the captain to be angry,
Feng Siniang immediately continued:
"My family, Ali, went with the caravan the previous one, and when he came back now, people don't know;
My family, Ah Ming, is sick, I want him to go, but if he goes, it would be a great sin to infect him with tuberculosis and go to the barracks. ”
"You don't want to lie to me?" Master Chen was a little unconvinced.
"Boom!" Feng Siniang clapped her hands helplessly, "You just go and ask, did my family Ali go out the day before yesterday, you also know, that stupid big man eats a lot, and there is a caravan asking him for food, including food, and reward, so I naturally kicked him out;
As for Ah Ming, he is still lying in the backyard at this time, and the coffin is ready. ”
Master Chen beckoned over a subordinate and asked that subordinate to inquire, and then went to the backyard with that Captain Xue to check on Ah Ming's condition.
When Ah Ming is okay on weekdays, he has a pale "dead" face, and he is injured at this time, and he looks like it...... Gee;
The Captain Xue was a little dissatisfied and said: "Forget about this sick and almost dead ball, and the one who goes out to run a business is considered a deserter!" ”
As a frequent customer of this shop at this time, Master Chen said a few good words for the inn, "General Xue, you can't say that, this year's labor was completed in half a year." ”
Captain Xue licked his lips, estimating that he was still very unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't do anything, this time the troops were sent in a hurry, and many places failed to prepare, so he could only shout:
"What about the other two?"
"Here." Feng Siniang stretched out her finger and pointed at Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng who were standing here.
"Hmm......"
Captain Xue seemed to be very interested in Liang Cheng's physique, although Liang Cheng was not tall, he had an extremely refined temperament.
When he looked at Zheng Fan again, he subconsciously frowned, Zheng Fan had only woken up for a few days, and although his complexion had recovered a lot, his body was still a little thin.
However, according to the roster, these two should be relatives and brothers, and the conditions of this family seem to be good, so they asked:
"Maybe bring your own armor?"
"Yes, yes, we will bring our own dry food." Feng Siniang replied immediately.
Captain Xue nodded, pointed at Liang Cheng and Zheng Fan, and said, "Bring your own armor, and before noon tomorrow, go to the military camp outside the city to get it." ”
"Do you hear me, but don't delay." Master Chen added.
"I heard it, I heard it." Feng Siniang immediately responded, "Yo, the two adults are leaving, stay and have a meal." ”
"No, we're going to continue to count the people's books." Master Chen refused, and left the inn with Xue Xiaowei.
…………
In the small hall, everyone sat in a circle.
Even Ah Ming crawled out of his coffin, his face pale, sitting next to him.
The blind man pursed his lips and said:
"Now, there are two roads in front of us, one is to pack up our things, leave Hutou City tonight, and then find another place to stay;
The other can only be ............"
"I think, just go, give up here, it's a pity." Zheng Fan said.
Obviously, the inn is an industry that everyone has been operating for half a year, and it is also everyone's first home in this world, so it is too cost-effective to abandon it like this, and at the same time, in order to obtain the legal identity of Yan Kingdom, it should have paid a lot of price.
At the same time, Tiger Head City is also the first point of the next target plan, so it was given up so lightly, it was too much of a loss.
In fact, there is another way, and that is to pull the flag and rebel now. But this road is not realistic for the time being.
Hearing this, the blind man nodded and said, "It's still the Lord's foresight."
In fact, he has already made a choice, but there are some words that are still suitable for Zheng Fan himself, as a subordinate, of course, he can only put the safety of the Lord first, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he has to say it like this.
This is political correctness to do subordinates.
"Liang Cheng, the Lord's safety depends on you."
Liang Cheng, who was sitting beside Zheng Fan, nodded, and there was a wisp of evil in his eyes.
The blind man said again: "San'er, you Ming'er will also go with you, let's bring our own dry food, even if it's a dwarf, we can fight it, right?" ”
Xue San didn't have any sensitivity to the word "dwarf", and nodded directly:
"Whoa."
Liang Cheng and Xue San's situation, the blind man Bei has a feeling, with these two people by the Lord's side, just in the rear as a man transporting grain and grass, the problem should not be big.
In fact, on the household registration in the inn, there are also blind Bei and Xue San, one is called Zheng Bei and the other is Zheng San, but one is blind and the other is a dwarf, so it is not within the scope of labor levy.
Feng Siniang hesitated a little and said: "Otherwise, I will also go up with the Lord, with me waiting by the side, the Lord ............."
"Are you going to be a military prostitute?"
"............" Feng Siniang.
The blind man Bei was facing Zheng Fan and slowly stood up, although his eyes were hollow, Zheng Fan had the feeling that he was "watching" at him.
"After all, we are only subordinates of the Lord, we will gather around the Lord, overcome all obstacles for the Lord, and remove all obstacles on the road in the future, this is our responsibility and our mission!
But the Lord is the King who sits on the throne, and he must sit higher than we and see farther than we do!
I think, with the character of the Lord, he must not want us to treat him as Liu Chan. ”
Zheng Fan nodded, thinking back to his mentality of not even going out of the inn door in the past few days, a smile appeared on his face, and said:
"When I used to watch costume films, I always felt that the war scenes in them were too fake, either because the funds were not enough, or the tricks were too casual, but this time I can take a look at it with my own eyes.
hehe
Truth be told,
I'm looking forward to it. ”
At this time, the pale-faced Ah Ming interjected:
"Lord, you are going to be a people's husband, and it is estimated that you can only see carts and forage ......"
"............" Zheng Fan.
