Chapter 29: Joining the Army
"The person is heading in this direction, chase!" The escort leader pointed at the garrison troops who rushed over.
The guards were sufficient and chased in the direction he pointed. Fan Cheng's other guards looked at the leader, and someone asked in a trembling voice: "Young Master is dead, what should we do?"
As Fan Cheng's guard, but did not protect Fan Cheng well, the Fan family will definitely hold them accountable, at the least they will be punished, and at the worst they will be... They will be vented and even lost their lives.
"Who killed the young master?" someone asked.
"I've fought with that guy and I'm very good at it," said the collar clenched his fist. "I'm not his opponent."
"Is it for the young master? Oh my God, who is it?"
Who knows? Fan Cheng did so many evil things, and since that man took his life, he obviously had hatred for a long time. The girl who was once ruined by Fan Cheng also had her parents and brothers, maybe she was revenge for their relatives, or something else. The man was dead and caught the murderer, and the truth was revealed.
"Miss He..." Someone finally remembered He Yan.
"You're dead."
The river is so deep and so cold, a woman has no strength, and it is more likely to fall down. But so what? No one cares. He Yan is alive, and maybe he will be angry with the Fan family. It is better if he dies. After all, he will be over, at least the matter of the He family will end here.
"If you die, you will die." Ling Muran said, "It's better to die."
In one sentence, He Yan's ending was destined.
...
The sound of horse hooves was loud in the depths of the streets, and people in the city were panic.
A young man in blue clothes looked calm and walked past the dilapidated temple where beggars lived in groups and threw his wet old clothes into the deserted dry well.
The clothes had been changed while running away. The spring shirt was worn inside, just throw away the old clothes outside. The headscarf didn't have to be worn, which was eye-catching. She touched the wall and drenched her hand. She patted her black gray hands on her face and applied them. Her face, which was too white, immediately turned black, like... a young man who was generally from a family and usually worked outside.
But he is still a pretty young man.
The young man walked forward calmly, and the city garrison behind him arrested people everywhere. He Yan's heart was not as relaxed as he appeared.
Fan Cheng's guards fought with her. As long as they carefully identify her, they would recognize her figure. The appearance can be disguised, but their body cannot be deceived. The city garrison in the capital is not a waste of food, and it is not easy to hide. Even if they run to the dilapidated temple, they will know that they are a naive face as long as they interrogate the beggar for a moment. If they leave the city, the city gate must have been blocked at this moment. If they enter and leave the city in the next month, they will be strictly investigated. If they search each household one by one, they will be found sooner or later.
It's a headache.
The Fan family was even more powerful than she thought, and she actually called so many people to chase her alone. He Yan was reluctant to explain it to her for nothing.
The garrison came from every direction, and He Yan was in danger.
Suddenly, she remembered something and reached out to take something out of her sleeve.
The paper was already crumpled and wrinkled, and it was wet with rain, so the handwriting on it was almost impossible to see. This was the recruitment notice that He Yunsheng tore off the wall that day.
conscription……
The recruitment office was set up in the open space outside the horse farm at the west end of the city. Many people filled out documents here and received a simple inspection. They would go out together as soon as the time came. This time, they would not be very strict in recruiting soldiers in Liangzhou. Even their age was not just for the prime of life. Those who were willing to go there were peace and prosperity unless they were in extremely poor families. Who would be willing to suffer in vain?
But this recruitment document came just right.
Now she has become a wanted criminal, and it is not good to stay in the capital. If she is found out, it will be even worse for the He family to be implicated. Besides, it seems that there is no benefit to stay in the capital. The He family is too far away from her, and the Xu family is a high-level place that she cannot reach. She can't stand at the same height as them and ask for her own things.
It would be better to go to the barracks. The recruiting team left the city, where she should stay.
There is no way out, and there are arrangements in the dark. She was thinking about how to find a reasonable reason to explain her departure with the father and son of the He family. Now there is no need to think of other reasons, because there is only this road to go. The conscription will be closed tomorrow, and the night before the end, she happened to catch up.
He Yan smiled and felt extremely relaxed. She no longer hesitated and walked towards the west horse farm in the city and striding.
The horse farm in the west of the city was originally a horse farm, but since the recruitment tent was placed here, the horses have been evacuated. A big man with a red face sat in front of him, with a long knife on his waist. Because it was raining, he wore a felt hat on his head, his eyes were like copper bells, and he was dozing off without anger.
The conscription is coming to an end. As tomorrow comes, the newly recruited recruits will follow them to Liangzhou. At this time, those who are willing to go have already come to vote for the title, and there are no new people.
When He Yan walked forward, the man didn't even raise his eyelids. He Yan had to say, "Brother, is the recruitment over?"
The big man looked her up and down and said slowly: "No."
"That's good." He Yan was overjoyed, "I'll join the army."
"You?" The big red-faced man showed a picky expression and said, "Brother, how old are you this year?"
"sixteen."
"Sixteen," the man pondered: "Your body doesn't look like you. You haven't done any heavy work at home on weekdays, you're not a joke. If you're just having fun, go back as soon as possible and don't waste my time."
"Brother, I really want to join the army." He Yan thought about the brothers who came out of the barracks in the past, and learned from their grief. "There is no one at home and I can't survive. If I don't join the army, I have to sell myself as a servant. It's better to go to the battlefield, either die on the battlefield or receive merits, or I can change my life. Besides, brother," she leaned closer and whispered: "Now that I'm recruiting soldiers, I'm afraid there are not enough people. It's better to add one person than one less, and I can also make up an integer."
The big man was moved by her words, and thought that he was the same. He just wanted to get enough people to hand in the service as soon as possible, and then said, "Okay, okay, you are going to die, I won't stop you. The ugly words are ahead. The military camp is not a place to enjoy. If you can't keep going and want to be a deserter, it's a military law to deal with it."
"I won't be a deserter." He Yan swore faithfully.
The blushing man sneered. He had seen such a young man many times, and he was full of confidence when he came. He was really going to fight, and they were so scared that they were the ones who were peeing their pants.
"Then you fill in this document." He handed the document to He Yan.
Outside the horse farm in the west of the city, the city garrison army turned the horse's head when they walked here. In front of it was a tent for recruiting soldiers in Liangzhou, so there was no need to continue moving forward.
He Yan wrote down two words.
This time, she was using her own name.
