Chapter 235: Forced
The knock on the door continued to sound.
Wu Meng frowned, feeling a little unhappy, who is this? Do you understand politeness to knock on the door like this! But she didn't pay attention to it, and continued to draw the talisman that was still half left.
"Knock knock!" the knock on the door still rang non-stop.
Wu Meng was extremely irritable when she heard it, since this morning, her mood has been inexplicably irritable, and now when she hears this knock knock sound, it is like a knock on her heart.
"Boom!" The runes in the pen did not persist in the end, and spontaneously combusted.
"Smack!" Wu Meng flicked his pen, stood up suddenly, and walked straight towards the gate. Go to the door and play a trick, and the door will open automatically.
"Who knocked on the door! Do you know how to be polite! What if I'm in retreat? Knock knock keep knocking trying to make me go mad!" Wu Meng crackled and scolded before he could see the person who was coming, and before the other party could speak.
After scolding, the boredom disappeared a lot, and then I was in the mood to look at the comer. There were two people standing outside the door, one was Luo Yunju's waiter, and the other was wearing armor and a long knife hanging from his waist, looking at him with a serious expression. This is a soldier of Chongming City.
Wu Meng suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.
"You're Ulin?" the soldier spoke, and his voice was like a bell, which was really deafening.
"Yes!" Wu Meng's face became serious. But in his heart he secretly thought about the purpose of the soldier. She usually stays in the cave to draw talismans and alchemy, and only occasionally goes out to the Treasure Pavilion, so she definitely didn't get into any trouble.
Could it be?
"Now Chongming City compulsorily recruits you to participate in the city protection battle, and within two hours after receiving the call, you must report to the West City Gate. There must be no mistake!" The soldier wanted to turn and leave.
Wu Meng heard the words and said secretly, "Hey, wait!"
"What's the matter?" the soldier turned to look at Wu Meng.
"Being drafted, isn't there any subsidy?" Wu Meng was a little unwilling, so he was drafted like this, and it was too casual, right? Sending someone at random is a conscription? What about the official documents?
And it also caused her to destroy a talisman.
"The battle to protect the city is a matter of life and death in Chongming City, if this city is captured, can you still live well?" As for the subsidy, don't think about it. The soldier glanced at Wu Meng faintly, turned around and left.
Wu Meng trembled when she heard this, she understood the truth, but has it reached the point of life and death?
Just go, just go, all day long in the cave listening to the sound of fighting outside and the faint smell of blood wafting in the air, she can't draw talismans quietly. So he turned around and packed his things, took out the Tang knife, and went out easily.
Luoyunju is dozens of miles away from the West City Gate, but fortunately, there are public flying boats to ride. When Wu Meng came to the West City Gate, he saw a completely different scene from the East City Gate.
The corpses of monsters piled high in the square, the corpses of monks who had been transported back from the city gates, and the wounded monks one after another. There were also monks covered in blood, around a hot pot, drinking broth.
They may have run out of elixirs and had to make rudimentary spiritual food from local materials to replenish the excessive spiritual power consumed in their bodies.
There was also the sound of earth-shattering fighting coming from the other side of the city wall.
Wu Meng only frowned when she saw this, she had seen a lot of such scenes in her previous life, and she had already lost her feelings, but the pace under her feet couldn't help but be a little faster.
Selective Service Administration at the West City Gate
"Fellow Daoist, I received a compulsory call from the City Lord's Mansion half an hour ago, and now I am here to apply. Wu Meng shouted to the busy people inside. She had been standing for a quarter of an hour, but no one paid attention to herself, so she had to speak first.
"Compulsory conscription?" the busy soldier stopped when he heard this. As if he didn't know that there was such a thing, he asked rhetorically, "The City Lord's Mansion has issued a conscription order?"
"Well, it's true that it was just off. I didn't expect someone to come so soon. The other soldier replied.
"Oh, well, you come with me. The soldier beckoned to Wu Meng, who followed and came to a room full of books. "Alright, bring the conscription warrant and the ID card. ”
"I don't have a call-up order. Wu Meng shook his head, his expression very calm. Is it a conscription order?
"No conscription, are you voluntary?" the soldier looked up at Wu Meng, as if to make sure of something.
Wu Meng shook his head, "No, it was a soldier who came to my cave to inform me in person." "I just don't know who sent it. Speaking of which, she is not familiar with the life in Chongming City, and she should not provoke any existence that should not be provoked.
It is really puzzling to be calculated for no reason.
"This officer, I want to ask, is there a mandatory call-up order?"
"That's right, although we are immortal cultivators, Chongming City is a military fortress, and the management is all militarized, and every order needs to be recorded in black and white. The soldier nodded, "You said that a soldier told you, do you know who?"
"Yes, it's just that I don't know the man. Wu Meng said lightly.
"Oh, alas, such soldiers who do not do what they are ordered must be punished severely. The soldier looked serious and fierce.
"So I might have been framed, so I'm not on the call-up list. Wu Meng said, this must be confirmed first, although she does not plan to go back now, but joining as a casual cultivator should be more free than in an army.
"Yes, do you want to leave?" the soldier's face turned bad for an instant, and he hated the people who escaped from the battle the most.
"No, I'm willing to participate in the Protectorate, but as a casual cultivator. "Wu Meng doesn't like to beat around the bush either.
The soldier was not surprised when he heard this, but only reminded, "There is a high chance of dying in a single battle, and there is no city lord's mansion to supply pill weapons, are you sure you want to fight alone?"
"Yes. Wu Meng nodded. She is not really alone, she also has rhubarb, rhubarb, as a former immortal beast, and the fairy pet of the legendary god of war in the fairy world, fighting should be commonplace for him. It's also time to get the rhubarb moving.
And she also has a housekeeper, after the combat is unfamiliar, there is all-round monitoring without dead ends, if someone fights together, it will be tied. So she's still good alone.
"Okay, bring me the ID card, I'll register it for you. The soldiers did not persuade any more.
Wu Meng took off the identity tag on his waist and handed it over. The soldier took the identity card, waved his hand and took out a book, first wrote Wu Meng's name on the book, and then played a trick towards the identity card. After the white light flashed on the identity, he handed it back to Wu Meng.
"Okay, although you are participating in the war as a casual cultivator, the City Lord's Mansion will still give you some subsidies, you can take your identity card to the quartermaster department to receive the subsidy. In addition, after receiving the subsidy, you need to enter the battlefield within two hours, otherwise you will be punished as a deserter. The soldier admonished.
"Thank you!"
