After eating, Zhao Youliang felt his lower abdomen warm, and the fatigue and soreness in his body disappeared. His body seemed to have endless energy, and he wanted to run dozens of kilometers immediately!

"This..." Zhao Youliang was shocked as he felt the changes in his body. When he looked at Ye Ze, his eyes changed. "This is really a good thing! What are you giving it to me? Why don't you keep it for yourself?"

Ye Ze grinned and said, "I still have a lot of this stuff here."

Zhao Youliang was even more shocked. Do you think this good thing is cabbage? And there are so many of them?!

The breakfast was wild vegetable and multi-grain cakes. The father-in-law and son-in-law ate it with dried meat. It was just dawn when Captain Qian asked everyone to line up and get ready to set off!

*

"Boss~Boss~"

"Boss..."

"Can the boss hear us if we shout like this?"

"How should I know? If we don't shout like that, won't we be unable to find him?"

Shouhou and Goudan stopped and looked at the long line in amazement. Who could have thought that they finally caught up with the conscription team, shouted for two miles, but still couldn't find anyone!

"Oh my god, why are there so many people? My throat is about to smoke from shouting!"

They had breakfast yesterday morning, went home, packed up their things and headed for the county town. They did not even stop for lunch. They walked until almost midnight last night before they dared to rest. They got up at dawn in the morning and started on their way again. Not long after they started walking, Goudan saw a crowd gathering ahead.

The two were so happy, they finally caught up! So, they shouted like idiots while looking at the team. As a result, no one responded after shouting for a long distance, so they could only continue to walk forward and continue to shout.

"Boss~ Boss~"

"Boss, where are you?"

Ye Ze had just lined up when he heard what sounded like Monkey's voices from behind. He quickly craned his neck to look behind him. Qian Baihu whipped him with a horsewhip: "What are you looking at? Get in line!"

"Hey, be careful..." Zhao Youliang hurriedly protected Ye Ze: "The child is still young, please don't blame me, sir."

Ye Ze frowned. Although he was not happy with Qian Baihu's behavior, he still said in a friendly voice, "Sir, the two people behind seem to be looking for me."

Captain Qian put away his whip and saw Ye Ze's appearance clearly. Wasn't he the boy who came back yesterday? Captain Qian sneered and asked, "Looking for you? You call me boss? Or are you the eldest in the family?"

"I am their eldest brother!" Ye Ze said in a firm tone. There was no fear in his eyes when facing Qian Baihu.

Captain Qian was interested in him. There were new soldiers who were not afraid of him? Interesting!

These newly recruited soldiers, regardless of age, were all respectful to him, not even daring to look him in the face? This kid is really brave!

Considering the bag of silver he had given him, Captain Qian was ready to go easy on him this time: "Then step out of the line and go see what those two want from you."

"Thank you, sir." Ye Ze bowed and ran out quickly, waving at the two people who were shouting at him from a distance: "Monkey, Dog, over here!"

Skinny Monkey: "Huh? It's the boss!"

Goudan: "Let's go."

The two of them were as happy as children who had finally found their mother, and they ran over jumping and skipping.

As he got closer, the skinny monkey couldn't help but complain, "Boss, why did you leave without saying anything? We had to look for you for a long time!"

Goudan: "That's it, Boss. No matter where you go, you can't leave us behind!"

"I'm going to serve in the army, not to travel, why should I take you with me?" You could lose your life, you know that! Ye Ze looked at them speechlessly. Well, both of them came prepared: "Are you two going to the border with me?"

"Wherever the boss goes, I go." The skinny monkey looked like, I don't care, I'll just follow you.

Goudan nodded seriously and agreed: "That's right!"

Ye Ze: “…”

"Let's go! Follow me over there!"

Ye Ze was thinking about how to arrange them when he heard Captain Qian calling him to return to the team.

"Right away!" Ye Ze replied, frowning as he looked at the two of them. He was going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Swords and knives were blind on the battlefield, and even if he had a system, he could not guarantee that there would be no accidents. What's more, he still had his father-in-law to protect. But if he didn't take them with him, wouldn't they suffer more if they followed him on their own?

"Boss..."

"Take us with you..."

The two of them looked at him pitifully, as if they were being abandoned.

Ye Ze sighed and said, "Okay, I'll take you with me, but you have to listen to me."

"Row!"

"We listen to the boss!"

"Eat this first." Ye Ze took out two pills and gave them to them. The two of them ate them without saying a word.

Ye Ze then brought the two men to Captain Qian and said, "Sir, can you let my two brothers go with us? Or let them join the army as well. I promise they won't hold us back."

Qian Baihu looked at Ye Ze in confusion: "?"

"They want to follow me." Ye Ze said as he quietly stuffed a silver ingot into Qian Baihu's hand.

Captain Qian raised his eyebrows, took the silver silently, and shouted to the people behind him: "Let's go!"

Ye Ze knew that he had agreed, so he quickly took the two of them to line up and follow. Zhao Youliang turned around to look at the two people standing behind Ye Ze and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. His eyes clearly showed his disapproval of their actions. Isn't it nonsense to follow them to the battlefield?

......

There was no sun for two or three days in a row, and the north wind made it impossible for people to open their eyes. After four or five days of continuous marching, many people's shoes had holes worn out. In addition, the weather was cold, and everyone's hands and feet were numb, so the marching speed naturally slowed down a lot. Captain Qian frowned at the sight of the weather. Could it be that it was going to snow in this horrible weather?

When they took a break in the evening, they were busy setting up the tent first. Ye Ze and the other three lined up to get food. They also had cabbage soup and multi-grain cakes. Ye Ze also took out some dried meat for the four of them to share.

Noticing the worn-out areas on Zhao Youliang's shoes, Ye Ze estimated the size of his shoes and said, "Dad, I have a new pair of shoes. You can wear them later. Don't keep the pair you're wearing."

Zhao Youliang looked down and said, "Mine is still wearable. You can keep the new one for yourself. My feet are bigger than yours, so I can't fit into your shoes."

Zhao Youliang was actually worried about Ye Ze. It was just a pair of new shoes. If he wore them, what would Ye Ze wear?

Ye Ze shook his head: "Dad should be able to wear it. Let's try it later. When we get to the town, I will buy a few more pairs of shoes for backup. If any of you have broken shoes, come to me and get them."

Skinny Monkey Goudan was not polite at all, nodding while eating: "Hmmmm..."

Zhao Youliang looked at these two heartless eaters and frowned. They were not going to enjoy themselves. Why did you two have to follow them? And you are such a big eater!

After dinner, they returned to the tent to rest. Except for the insomnia on the first night when Ye Ze suffered from it, he slept soundly in the following nights.
