Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Suburban Recruiting Office

Zhuiyun sat at the table, writing something frantically with one hand. The pen was almost flying away. He didn't even have time to look up. There was a noisy sound coming from his ears, making his head dizzy.

"Take out the identity stickers. Leng Feng, you should look at the people carefully. They should belong to A, B, C, and D. Be careful to choose them. If you make a mistake, be careful that the master will punish us."

Leng Feng was holding a long sword, with a stern face and some irritation in his eyes. He didn't feel anything when he saw Lin Xiao and the others registering before, but now it was his turn, he found that this job was really trivial.

It's a pity that Lin Xiao's group was taken away by the princess. The army was too busy, so they had to do these things. Alas, it was beyond their expectation that they could recruit so many soldiers.

Good news, great news!!

"Well, Wu Dajia, Wu Er... Ding."

Leng Feng looked at the two people of different heights and spoke expressionlessly.

Wu Da is tall and strong, and looks like a good candidate for a soldier. As for Wu Er, he is too thin and short, and looks like a dwarf, so he can only work as a cook.

"Sir, we are brothers, can you please not separate us? Although my second brother is short, he is very good at carpentry and is very useful. My family lives a good life, all thanks to my second brother."

At this point, Leng Feng frowned and said, "Since your family is doing well, why do you want to join the army?"

Wu Da met those sharp eyes, lowered his head and dared not look, and whispered: "This, this is not to be hidden from you, sir, we are here for retirement. The court announced that as long as you have served in the army for ten years, after the age of fifty, your food, drink, defecation and urination will be taken care of by the court..."

Jiang Li originally set the age at ten years, fifty years old, entirely out of consideration for the age of ancient people. Most of the ancient people had short lifespans. If it had been set at sixty years old, needless to say, no one would have come.

Zhuiyun raised his head after hearing this, shook his aching wrist, and kindly reminded: "My dear brother, let me remind you that once you are in the army, you are lucky to survive for a year, let alone ten years."

"If it's just for retirement, please be careful."

Wu Da waved his hands and explained hurriedly: "No, it's not all about this. In fact, there is another reason. The elders in our family are unfair. If we continue to stay here, we will only be bullied by them and die. Instead of this, it is better to go to the army, so that they dare not bully us."

"...!!"

There are many reasons to join the army, and this is a little... special when you see it for the first time. But looking at these two people, they have some talent, especially the carpenter. I think the princess would need someone like him.

Turning his head to look over, he said, "Leng Feng, why don't you send these two brothers to the Mechanical Army to be responsible for making mechanical devices and hidden weapons? The young lady has mentioned that you should help her recruit some talents."

Leng Feng looked at the two of them, but didn't see anything wrong. He hummed, "Register him in the young lady's book, and hand him over to her when she comes back."

Zhuiyun nodded repeatedly, flipped out another booklet, and began to register on it. After registering, he handed the cards to the two people: "This is your military identity, keep it."

"If it's lost, you must come and get a replacement in time. Did you hear me?"

"Yes, thank you both adults."

"Next……"

The two brothers were illiterate, but after getting the ID cards, they looked at each other and smiled: "Thanks to you, brother, otherwise they might not want me. I'm so short that I would just be killed if I went to fight."

"Don't say that, second brother. The Mohist Army is different from others. As long as we can get in, our lives will not be difficult in the future. Fortunately, we came early and they didn't recruit all the people, otherwise they would not want us."

"Well, let's go home and ask our uncles for justice and get our things back. Even if we go to the army, we must take the gold and silver with us. With silver, life will be easier wherever we go."

"Yes, we have the sign. If they don't return the things, we will go find the Mohist Army. I don't believe they are so brave."

It was not until dark that Zhuiyun could no longer see the identity stickers, and then he stood up and shouted, "Don't push, we'll stop here today and continue tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he stretched his body and felt sore in his back. He didn't know how Lin Xiao and the others had done it in the past. A conscription session lasted for ten days or half a month, and he felt like his back was about to break.

He picked up the torch and looked at the people sitting on the ground, preparing to wait until dawn. It was so dark that he could not see the end. He sighed, "Leng Feng, it seems that the people are not going to go back."

"The cold dew is heavy at night, so don't catch a cold."

Leng Feng clapped his hands and said, "Someone, go ask the kitchen to make thick rice porridge and send some steamed buns over. Send some ginger tea over again in the middle of the night. Don't let them get sick."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhuiyun said cheerfully, "Ice cube with a cold face but a warm heart, is that what the master said? Otherwise, you can just ask for permission and have someone do it. That's all food."

"You talk too much. Why are you asking when you know the answer? The master has already considered this situation and told me to take care of the people. Don't let them catch colds again because of conscription. They don't have money to treat it, so as not to hurt their lives."

"Okay, got it. Let's go back. I'm exhausted after a long day. My waist is about to break."

After the two returned, Leng Feng held the sword and Zhui Yun chattered with excitement on his face: "Master, the young mistress is really amazing. This kind of pension is the first of its kind."

"Those big countries don't have the guts to do that. The key is not to deceive the people, but to really be able to support them. Those nursing homes look so beautiful. I want to go to a nursing home in the future..."

Mo Yuan was getting a headache from his noise, and with his wife away, he was tormented by the pain of missing her, and felt unhappy: "That's all, have the people been settled? Have you arranged for food, drink and blankets to be delivered to them tonight?"

Zhuiyun's voice stopped abruptly. He had really forgotten about the quilt. He had been quarreled for a whole day and his head was dizzy. He really didn't remember it.

"I forgot. I will arrange for someone to deliver it right away."

"Well, let's go."

Before Zhuiyun left, he glared at Lengfeng. What a guy! He didn't even bother to remind him, causing him to be scolded by his master. Tomorrow it will be his turn to register.

Leng Feng and the others left, and he closed the door and said respectfully: "Master, the young lady has left the capital. In three days, we will reach the largest Panlong Village. Are you worried about the young lady?"

In fact, there is no need for that. With the young lady's skills, even if people die, she won't be hurt at all. Besides, she is a venerable one, so just setting off a mine will be enough.

"Well, have someone keep an eye on the letters. If there is a letter from the princess, send it here as soon as possible. Do you understand? Don't use someone else's hands to send it."

"There are many spies from other countries in the capital now. Be careful and don't bring unnecessary trouble to the princess."

"My subordinates know."

Mo Yuan waved his hand and said, "You are also tired after a day's work. Go back and rest early. After dawn tomorrow, continue to select suitable soldiers and recruit as many as you can. Don't worry about the food and fodder. There is enough."

"Yes……"
