At this time, Li Yan's carriage was passing through the long city gate hole, the city gate hole is very long, but it is not damp inside, the tall and wide design makes the city gate hole ventilated and dry, and the light is sufficient. Li Yan and the others walked for dozens of breaths, and the carriage went out of the city gate and came to the city.

Facing the city gate hole are three roads, all paved with big bluestone, because of the perennial cars and people walking on it, the road surface appears oily and shiny, even the bluestone surface on a little uneven cut or the gap between the two pieces of bluestone, all appear round and smooth. The middle one is obviously wider than the road on both sides, and it should be the main road. But the two forks in the road meander to both sides, and I don't know where they are going. There are many buildings on both sides of the road, most of them are two- and three-storey small buildings, all kinds of canvases and signboards are carried at the door, people come and go, shouting, greeting one after another, although it is afternoon at this time, it is also a lively scene.

Pedestrians passed by on the street, Li Guoxin and their carriage slowed down and drove slowly, Li Yan and the three of them sat in the car, their eyes were not enough, their heads kept turning around, and they felt very fresh. Many have never been seen or heard of.

"Brother Yan, you see that inside the door is an iron railing and a counter, and the person outside can only stand on his feet and stretch his face to speak obliquely to the small hole, it should be a pawnshop, right?" Li Yu saw a pawnshop and asked.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, look at the three-story restaurant, it's so magnificent, it's so fragrant, I've never smelled this smell, even when I roasted the wild boar, the oil on the wild boar is not as fragrant as this, if you are an apprentice here in the future, then you will have great ability" Li Shan pointed to the restaurant he had just passed by.

Li Guoxin turned around at this time and said with a smile, "You will live here for a long time in the future, and when you have to watch, but you have to learn your skills hard, otherwise you will be driven back to the village, it will be a shame, and the place you are going to is still ahead."

Li Yan also felt full of freshness at this time, many things had never been seen, some of them were told by his father and the people in the village, and some of them had never been heard of.

After the carriage moved forward in the crowd for a while, it stopped at a two-story restaurant, although this restaurant only has two floors, but there are many facades, and there are as many as seven or eight frontage facades in turn. At this time, it is not yet time to pick up customers, but there are some customers coming in and out. I want to come and eat as you go. The restaurant signboard spans the middle of several facades, which looks very grand and eye-catching, and reads "Natural Wine House".

Li Guoxin drove the carriage to a street frontage on the far right of the "Natural Wine House", found a big tree to stop, tied the reins to the big tree, and then let Li Yu come down, let Li Yan and Li Shan wait next to the car, and then took Li Yu to the middle door and walked in. Li Yan and Li Shan stood next to the car, looking at the lively scene on the street, and the two of them stopped talking for a while. In fact, with Li Yu's departure, they also knew that the time of separation had come, and they would have to live alone in this strange place in the future. The excitement and longing before are gone at this moment, only a trace of trepidation in my heart, a trace of panic as if I was helpless in a different place. The two of them had their own thoughts, and they were both silent.

After a while, I saw Li Guoxin walking towards the carriage with Li Yu, followed by a man in his thirties, fat and wearing a fat robe, several people slowly came to the front of the car, Li Guoxin said to Li Yu, "Take out the salute" and then turned to the fat middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Steward Li, I will take this contract back to the child's parents, and the child will be handed over here, and I hope that Steward Li will look at the face of the same sect, and take care of it more in the future, Li has thanked him here." After speaking, he hugged his fist and saluted Steward Li.

Manager Li's chubby face also showed some smiles, "Guoxin, don't be polite, you and I are the elders of the same clan, and we should take care of ourselves, you can rest assured that this baby is here, as long as he can endure hardship, there will be little success in the future."

Li Guoxin waved his hand to Li Yuyi and said, "Follow your uncle, you must be more diligent in the future, your hands and feet must be sharp, and you will ask more questions and do more when you encounter problems." ”

Li Yu had already taken the salute from leaving, choked up and said to Li Yan and Li Shan, "Yan...... Brother, mountain.. Brother, come when you have time... Come and see me". I want to cry when I say it.

Li Yan and Li Shan also squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and replied separately:

"Okay, I'll come and see you when I have time."

"Xiaoyu, you do your job well, Brother Shan will come to eat the dishes you cooked."

Then Steward Li smiled when he saw this, "Let's go." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the wine shop as soon as he bowed to Li Guoxin, Li Yu followed him with a salute, turned around in a few steps, and reluctantly followed, and finally disappeared into the gatehouse.

Li Guoxin also beckoned the two to get into the carriage at this time, untied the reins from the tree, and after getting on the wheel, he said to the two, "Manly husband, don't be such a child, this is to come out to learn skills, learn skills, and bring your parents here to be men." Without looking at the two of them, he drove forward.

The carriage continued to move forward, and after turning a few more corners, it also stopped at a place called "Iron Pavilion", and asked Li Shan to get out of the car and follow him as before, leaving Li Yan alone by the car. It was also a period of time, similarly, Li Guoxin and Li Shan walked back, but this time they followed two people, one was too tall, naked, and the muscles on his body were stronger than Li Guoxin, glowing black in the sun, between raising his hand and moving, the muscles were beating one by one, like a mouse jumping on his body, this person had thick eyebrows and ringed eyes, and was about forty years old. There is also a half-sized boy who is about the same size as Li Shan next to him, but this kid is also stout, with big hands and feet, and he is thicker than Li Shan.

Later, Li Yan learned that this person was the owner of this family, named Lu Kui, who had a good weapon, whether it was ordnance forging or agricultural tool building, there was no one else in this city, and he often repaired ordnance for the garrison in the army. The one next to him was his eldest apprentice, Liang Shi. The rest of the matter was just like Li Yu's before, after explaining some words, Li Shan also said goodbye to Li Guoxin and Li Yan with red eyes, and followed the two of them.

The boy experienced several partings in a day, and his mood was even more depressed at this time.

Li Guoxin looked up at the sky and said to Li Yan, "We also have to hurry up and go to the school martial arts field, it should still be Shen Shi at this time, and it may be tomorrow if it is too late." Li Yan hurriedly cleaned up his mood and nodded yes, he was now confused by Li Yu and Li Shan's previous appearance, and he missed his father, mother, brother and sister. But I also know that at this time, I can only take one step at a time, and what the future holds, confused and unknown.

Li Guoxin took Li Yan to drive to a place quickly, and after a short time, he came to a gate surrounded by a high courtyard wall. Li Yan saw that this courtyard wall was extending in an arc on both sides, and as far as his eyes could see, he still couldn't see the overall range, thinking that the courtyard wall should be very large. Li Guoxin parked the carriage far away, tied it to a tethered horse stake, where a lot of horses and carriages had been tied, and then walked towards the gate with Li Yan.

At this time, there were more than a dozen soldiers guarding the gate with armaments, and there were also more than a dozen young men and a dozen people who seemed to be escorts at the door. The men were not too surprised to see the two of them coming, but after glancing at the same time, they turned to look at the soldiers at the gate.

When the two of them reached the gate, a soldier came up and asked, "But you are here to recruit the Guards?"

Li Guoxin pointed at Li Yan, then bowed down and replied, "Yes, Master Jun, he participated in the examination." ”

The soldier pointed at Li Yan with his hand and said, "That's right, then you come over and go in with this group of people."

Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward and followed the soldier to the back of the dozen or so young men and stood up.

After seeing them standing, the soldier turned to Li Guoxin and them, pointed to the side and said, "You guys wait there, it is estimated that there will be results around the unitary time." ”

Li Guoxin only noticed at this time that in the distance on the other side of the gate, there were many people sitting on the ground or standing looking at this side, thinking that these should be the escorts who came earlier.

Looking at it this way, there should be a lot of people participating in the recruitment this time. After all, the duty of the Guards this time still appealed to many villagers.

Li Guoxin looked at Li Yan, Li Yan also looked at him, Li Guoxin pointed to that place, and then pointed to himself, meaning where he was waiting for him, Li Yan nodded to show that he understood. Li Guoxin walked to the waiting area with the dozen or so people from before.
