"Alas, we need to recruit soldiers again. Every family must send at least one person, or they will have to pay twenty taels of silver. I don't know what King Liang is thinking when he wants to attack Dongzhou. Isn't it better to let the people live in peace?"

"Hush, brother, you must not say that. If the soldiers hear you, they will arrest you and throw you into jail!"

"People like me who study are afraid of this!"

"Come on, let's go have some tea. There are a lot of people here, be careful as walls may have ears."

Two scholars in long robes walked towards the street while complaining.

It seems that the territory under the jurisdiction of King Liang is not far from rebellion, and conscription is just the beginning.

If a war breaks out and there aren't enough people, of course we have to recruit people. I'm afraid that they will just catch people at random on the street, and no adult male will escape.

"Husband, let's go to the car dealership and buy a car frame."

There was still space for one horse that lacked a matching carriage, and five carriages would be enough to accommodate everyone.

Before the two of them went to the car dealership, Yu Suihuan took out two sets of silk brocade robes and two pairs of boots from his space. He found a remote and deserted alley and put them on.

Regardless of the dynasty, this person always chooses what to eat according to the situation. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha.

The two men put on brocade robes, tidied themselves up simply, and immediately transformed from two refugees of famine into wealthy young men.

Although Yu Suihuan could be seen as a woman at first glance, this dynasty was quite open-minded and it was not uncommon for many rich daughters to dress up as men and go shopping.

She took the lone horse out of the space, and the two of them led the horses out of the alley, and then asked the old man selling tea on the roadside about the location of the car dealership.

Yu Suihuan climbed onto the horse and sat in the front, consciously leaving the back seat for Li Chengjin and glanced at him.

"Let me lead the horse. It's not far."

He pretended to be calm. It was not that he didn't want to ride, but he was afraid that he would get too close and lose control.

The beautiful erotic dream last night flashed through his mind. Thinking about it now, Li Chengjin felt his blood boiling, his heart surging, and he felt excited.

It was dark last night and no reaction could be seen. It would be embarrassing if he stood up in broad daylight.

In front of the carriage shop, a shop assistant was sitting at the door, drowsy. He was suddenly awakened by the sound of horse hooves. He opened his eyes and saw two young men in rich clothes about to come in. He immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile.

"What do you two need? Our carriage shop has the most complete products. We have whips, saddles, carriages, various carriage frames, and sheds. We have everything here."

"I want to equip my horse with a carriage. It must be sturdy and useful!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Please come in, gentlemen. Do you want us to make something custom, or do you want something that already exists?"

When the shop assistant heard this, he knew it was a big deal, so he hurried ahead to lead the way.

"I have it now. I'm in a hurry. I want it now."

"You come with me."

The shop assistant led the two to the backyard. The backyard was lined with houses filled with finished cart frames, which were exquisitely crafted and well-made. The three sides were covered with woven bamboo curtains that could be rolled up or down. Even the curtains on the front were made of the finest linen.

Yu Suihuan fell in love with the biggest one at first sight.

"Let's take this one. It's hot now, and this one is cooler. And bring me four more sheds like this one."

Yu Suihuan bought a cart and four sheds in one go. This was a big deal. The shop assistant was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He quickly asked people to harness the cart to the horses.

Just as she paid the money, a well-dressed maidservant, accompanied by two servants, hurried in with the shopkeeper.

Looking at the car frame bought by Yu Suihuan, he felt happy and said to the shopkeeper next to him.

"Shopkeeper, I want this kind of carriage frame. How much silver do you want? My son is busy on his way."

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the clerk installing it, he knew that this one had been sold. This one was big, good and spacious, and the car shop only made one. If he made more, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sell it, so he smiled and said.

"Girl, we don't have this kind anymore. Why don't you go inside and look for something else?"

"Is there anything this big?"

The little maid looked very anxious and somewhat dissatisfied.

"No, they are all smaller, but they are not much different."

Hearing this, the little maid couldn't help but frowned.

"Boss, can you sell this frame to me first? I'll pay double the price."

Yu Suihuan raised her eyes to look at the little maid. It was not appropriate to rob so blatantly. She even threw money at it, as if she was the only one who had money!

"That won't work, girl. They've already paid, and doing business requires credit."

"Shopkeeper, do you know who my young master is? He is the legitimate son of the Shangshu Ling family of Dongzhou. It is an honor for your family to pass by and buy your carriage frame. I want this big one. I will pay three times the silver, okay?"

Although the little maidservant is young, she has a big mouth and knows how to use her power to oppress others.

"But this frame has been sold. I can't do anything about it. Girl, you should change it."

The shopkeeper had a firm look on his face and glanced at Yu Suihuan and Li Chengjin who were standing beside him.

It was obvious that these two were either rich or noble, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

The Shangshu Ling is an important position, but he is from Dongzhou. They are in the fiefdom of King Liang, so it doesn’t matter.

"You two, please change to another carriage. This one belongs to me. I will pay you more money. It is an honor for you to give it to the Shangshu Ling family."

The little maidservant spoke in a condescending tone, she is really a bully.

"So it's the Shangshu Ling family!"

Yu Suihuan had an exaggerated expression.

The little maid had a proud look on her face and immediately took out the purse from her waist and prepared to give the silver.

How many people want to curry favor with the Song family but fail to do so? If it weren't for this remote place and the carriage breaking down,

Humph, in Dongzhou Prefecture, anyone who wants to give a gift has to queue up.

"I haven't heard of it. I don't care whether you write a petition or not. I won't sell my things no matter how much money you offer!"

"Handy, load those four sheds for me. I have something urgent to do."

Yu Suihuan turned around and was about to leave, leaving his back to the little maid.

"You, how dare you play tricks on me. It's true that poor places and bad waters breed unruly people!"

The little maid's face turned red with anger.

The two got on the carriage and prepared to leave the city without wasting a moment.

They had to reach the next destination before tonight, so it would be best if they could find an inn to stay in.

Walking to a remote and deserted corner, the two men took off their clothes and released the four carriages.

Connect the five carriages with a hemp rope. This way you only need to control the first carriage.

Yu Suihuan was happy because he finally didn't have to rely on his feet to walk.

Outside the city, Li Zhou dozed off under a tree for a while, but couldn't fall asleep again when she opened her eyes, so she stood at the city gate waiting, looking inside from time to time.

It was hot at this time and not many people were entering or leaving the city.

From afar, she saw a row of carriages coming towards the city gate. When they got closer, she saw that the people sitting in the carriages were actually her son and his third daughter-in-law.
