474. Chapter 474 Gu Zang's new student
The arrival of early morning drives away the darkness, and a new day comes to the world again. The warm sunshine shines on every corner of the ancient city of Guzang, making people who go out early in the morning feel bursts of warmth.
People walking on the streets include those carrying burdens to sell vegetables in the city, some carrying hoes to work, soldiers patrolling the city, and ordinary people shouting at breakfast stalls, all of them are filled with excitement and joy.
The people inside and outside Guzang City are not unhappy. Their most beloved Master Zhou Mu has performed miracles in just a few months since he took office. He first defeated Ma Chao and then Zhang Liao. He can be called the most arrogant person in the history of Liangzhou.
Mr. Zhou Mu, inspiring Liangzhou is not just about
Can the day come soon? The majesty of their Guzangzhou City will once again shine upon the entire land of Liangzhou. As Guzang people, their pride comes from the bottom of their hearts! For the Lord Zhoumu who is high and within reach,
They are all fanatical superstitions.
Every day, for them, is a day full of hope and full of energy!
"Xiaolong, why are you here to sell vegetables again? Didn't I see you excitedly applying for the job yesterday?" Wang Bo from Feng Street got up from the bed happily, came to the door and was practicing boxing, when he saw the person facing him
A young vegetable seller came over. He was very familiar. He could not help but smile with joy on his face and shouted kindly.
Liu Xiaolong, from the suburbs of Guzang, makes a living by farming. He goes to the city to earn some pocket money by selling vegetables. He is an old seller on Feng Street. He is honest and trustworthy and sells fresh vegetables. He has been selling vegetables on this street for a long time.
He looked familiar, Uncle Wang was one of his regular customers.
Yesterday, someone yelled on the street, which aroused the enthusiasm of the people in Guzang City to join the army. Wasn't Liu Xiaolong one of them?
Unfortunately, there are quotas for joining the army now! Not everyone can eat military rations. It has to be tested from various aspects such as physical strength, endurance, health, etc. Liu Xiaolong was selected out.
Uncle Wang's question just opened his scar, making him angry and unconvinced.
"Bah! How could those soldiers know how good I am? They are so ignorant that they actually screened me out of the selection of regular soldiers!" Liu Xiaolong spit hard on the ground, and then said proudly: "
Uncle Wang, don't look down on me, I'm short.
Being small is not something I feel embarrassed to say! I just didn’t get selected into the regular army, so I was told to use my labor to build a legion as a peasant soldier! Talents like me, who have been rolling in the fields since childhood, still need to go
Are you going to be a peasant soldier?"
"Our Lord Envoy has been exempted from taxes for three years. That's nothing to say to us farmers. Farming here can also serve Lord Envoy, so why bother being a big soldier!" Liu Xiaolong grinned and smiled at Uncle Wang.
Said: "Isn't that right, Uncle Wang?"
"Haha! It turns out that the young man is not convinced because he was not selected for the regular army!" Uncle Wang laughed and said: "It's okay not to go! I was still thinking about you yesterday and thinking about you leaving, what should I do today?
I went to Liulin to buy groceries...I am an old man,
How can you walk such a long way... Fortunately, you didn't choose, haha! Boy, what you said is correct. To satisfy the people in the city with food, clothing, housing and transportation, isn't everything to serve the Lord? It's not about wielding swords and guns.
Good man! Do a good job! I like you very much!"
Having said that, Liu Xiaolong was still a little frustrated because he did not choose Lord Zhou Mu's regular army. Uncle Wang's encouragement only made him smile, and then he started to cry again...
"Uncle Wang, you don't know what the regular army under Lord Zhou Mu looks like. They are all fierce and powerful, wearing brocade robes and iron armor, strong bows and swords hanging on their waists, and holding dark iron spears in their hands. Their faces are solemn and solemn, with a sense of The indescribable aura of majesty dissipated, forcing me to feel a sense of suffocation while watching from the sidelines. They are really a rare and powerful force. It is simply my dream to join the regular army!" Liu Xiaolong's face showed a look of yearning, that feeling of suffocation. Uncle Wang, infected by the childish longing, actually yearns for it at this age...
"Oh, from what you said, this kind of powerful force seems to be like the elite in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty..." Uncle Wang also had a hint of childishness in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking about...
"Bah! I'm a long time old, and I'm still messing around with a kid like you..." After a moment, Uncle Wang suddenly reacted, his face turned red, he grabbed the vegetable basket that Liu Xiaolong had just put down, and squatted down to inspect the vegetables. to avoid embarrassment.
"Pfft!" Uncle Wang's embarrassment immediately made Liu Xiaolong's depression dissipate a lot. He sighed and patted Uncle Wang twice on the shoulder: "Uncle Wang, don't you think you are young if you have ambitions? Our little girl Zang Don’t people just want a good lord? Now that we have such a wise Lord Zhou Mu, who has reduced taxes and pacified all parts of Liangzhou, he is actually a good lord for our people in Guzang! We are willing to die to serve him!"
Uncle Wang picked out a few bundles of Chinese cabbage from the vegetable pile, bundled them with a rope, his face wrinkled, and he showed a bit of pride: "Yes! With such a good Master Zhou Mu, we, the little people, can be proud and proud. ! Just look at the well-known refugees from the suburbs lining up to join the army, and you will know the status of our Zhou Mu masters in the hearts of us Liangzhou people! I am not talented. Although I am very old, I still have some boys. Yesterday They were all kicked into the army by me, an old man!"
Liu Xiaolong's eyes widened: "Uncle Wang, you've hidden so much! You even made fun of me for applying! How about it, what army did your boys join?"
Uncle Wang's beard curled up, and his face was filled with pride: "The eldest son has entered the Black Tiger Cavalry, the most elite cavalry team in the Huce Mansion! The second boy has gone to the Spear Throwing Camp, which is also a new type of military unit pioneered by Lord Zhou Mu! The third boy has entered The Heavenly Wolf Army that defeated Master Tianwang is also a famous elite force in Liangzhou!"
"Damn it! You, Uncle Wang, are so cruel! Your boys have already taken part in the elites under Lord Zhou Mu!" Liu Xiaolong almost drooled. This Uncle Wang is so lucky. Well, city people are good, they eat well, they are strong and have good luck!
"No, don't you have six boys in your family? Aren't there only three boys?" After a while, Liu Xiaolong suddenly remembered something, smiled, as if he had found some psychological balance, and looked at Uncle Wang intently and said.
"Hey, I have three sons who have joined the regular army, which is considered a success! There is nothing more to ask for!" Uncle Wang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The other three sons, like you, ended up in the construction corps, but that's okay. ! They all join the army, it’s a promising future! Haha, I only have one wish now, which is to see our wise and powerful Lord Zhou Mu with my own eyes! That would be great!"
"Spring hunting! The Spring Festival hunt is here! Your Majesty, your Majesty, orders that all men over the age of fifteen can gather in the east of the city at noon the day after tomorrow to participate in the Spring Festival Hunt! The champion will be awarded the prize in person by His Majesty, and will be admitted to the Black Tiger
Ride as a team leader!"
Suddenly, a sound of gold and iron gongs and drums sounded, and hundreds of fast horses, holding bright red flags, ran out from the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, shouting everywhere.
