Chapter 529: Joining the Army

Liu Heng opened his eyes and saw that it was Uncle He who opened the door and came in, "Young master, the place has been found." ”

He closed the door before continuing to say: "It's also a coincidence, I heard that there was going to be a war, and many merchants and people in the city were panicked after all, and they were busy selling their houses, preparing to flee to the interior to avoid the military disaster. This house is not very big, but it is better than being clean, I have been to see it, it used to be a scholar's family to live in, so it is simple and elegant, better than our old house, and more spacious. ”

"This kind of thing, Uncle He, you can do it if you look satisfied. Liu Heng said.

He Bo smiled, "Cheng, then when will we move over?"

Liu Heng thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, let's wait for the news from the Lu family." ”

"Gotcha!" Uncle He agreed, and sat cross-legged beside Liu Heng, staring at Liu Heng while reading, and began to cultivate.

Looking at Liu Heng's bitter gourd face, Liu Heng only felt embarrassed, and then began to close his eyes and practice.

Now that his martial arts realm is indeed inadvancing, it is difficult to break through in any aspect, so most of his cultivation is habitual now, and in fact, it has long been useless. However, during this time, Liu Heng shifted his focus to the cultivation of the divine soul, hoping to find a breakthrough from here.

After leaving Baiwu, the surrounding aura became normal, and there was no limit to cultivating the divine soul, but when he really cultivated, Liu Heng found that normal cultivation was even slower than he imagined.

"I still have the blessing of the spirit body, and I have a first-class talent in spiritual cultivation, but if I am so patient to cultivate, it will be difficult to break through the first realm in a year. It can be seen that ordinary people's cultivation will only be slower and more difficult than mine, if there are no adventures and creations, even if everything goes well, it will take three or four years to break through the first realm. ”

Thinking of this, he inevitably shook his head.

I heard that no matter what the Dao, after being promoted to the master realm, you will get a heaven-given lifespan, about one year is a year, which is nothing to others, but it is precious to Liu Heng today. Now that his martial arts are cut off and he can't break through, and if he wants to live longer, only Wen Dao is left to break through this path.

Unfortunately, there is not much hope for this road now.

There are nine realms in the soul cultivator sub-realm, which are subdivided into three levels of enlightenment, three times of night travel, and three times of day travel. Because of all kinds of adventures before, he was able to step into the realm of the daily tour of the divine soul, but later he condensed his will, and the divine soul was greatly damaged, and now he is barely able to maintain the daily tour, and he himself estimates that it is nothing more than a daily tour.

In the current realm, it is estimated that it will take three or four years to reach the peak of the scholar, not to mention the difficulties and shackles when breaking through the great realm.

Based on this calculation, he wants to be promoted to the bachelor's realm in a limited time, which is really not optimistic.

"Forget it, it's better than nothing. Liu Heng muttered to himself in his heart, and continued to cultivate the divine soul with patience, but now it seems that he can only say that he can do his best, and the rest is to resign himself to fate.

It wasn't a quiet night, but it finally passed.

Several times during the night, there was a commotion in the city. The sound from afar, probably someone visiting the military camp at night, or discovering Beihu spying, or even a thief being misidentified, caused a lot of commotion every time.

As the war approaches, it is really a soldier, and any slightest disturbance will attract the attention of all parties. In this atmosphere, no one could sleep peacefully, so when he saw Lu Youqi, who knocked on the door the next morning, he looked depressed, and obviously did not rest well.

"Brother Jin, Uncle He, was also alarmed last night, right?" Lu Youqi smiled bitterly, "This is about to start a war, and it is really not peaceful everywhere." ”

After complaining for a few sentences, he finally got down to business, "I thought it wouldn't be difficult to join the army, but who knew that last night I went to visit a few old soldiers at home, and it didn't seem to be as easy as we thought before we came." ”

Liu Heng's eyes flashed slightly, "Please also ask the third master to make it clear." ”

"The imperial court does have the intention of expanding the army, but I didn't expect the people who joined the army to be so enthusiastic, and now there are too many people, far exceeding the number set by the imperial court. Lu Youqi shook his head, "It's too late to realize that the situation is wrong, the 3,000 places in Mochizuki City have already accounted for most of the 3,000 places, and there are less than 1,000 left, but many families have come to the door, and they all want to stuff people in like us." The major families have a large number of hands, where is the eight or nine hundred enough, so the city captain sent a message, except for the people in the family, it is no longer allowed to accept people indiscriminately. The rules must be under the rules, and there will be no impact on the next, but the two of you are a little difficult here. ”

Liu Heng understood, and didn't speak, so he listened to Lu Heqi and continued: "I have an idea, it's better for the two of you to hang it in my Lu family's name for the time being, so that I can operate more conveniently, what do you think?"

He was also afraid that the three of them would refuse, so he hurriedly explained: "Don't think about it, my Lu family has no intention of taking advantage of others' danger, and after the two of them enlist in the army, my Lu family will never restrict the two of them with this, just if this thing does not exist, it is just a convenience." ”

Liu Heng looked at Lu Heqi, who was pretending to be sincere, and finally laughed in his heart.

If he hadn't asked Bai Shishi in advance, maybe Liu Heng would have agreed today, but he knew last night that this was Bai Shishi's handwriting, and then looked at Lu Heqi's pretense, he naturally felt ridiculous.

Presumably, Bai Shishi gave the order, and he would not have thought that while the Lu family obeyed the order, he also thought carefully, wanting to take Liu Heng and He Bo under his command little by little. And the Lu family explained the matter to Lu Heqi, I am afraid that they didn't expect that Lu Heqi had his own plans, and wanted to win the two of them into his subordinates, or even show his own merits.

Coming down layer by layer, in fact, things have already changed, especially after Lu Youqi is here, it is no longer the result that the Lu family wants, let alone Bai Shishi's original intention.

Otherwise, with Bai Shishi's thoughts, he just wanted to give Liu Heng a favor, where would he pretend to be difficult here. Moreover, even if the Lu family is concerned, they should still want to befriend Liu Heng, and they will not say such things.

What kind of city captain sets the rules, this is nothing more than bluffing outsiders, it is impossible to live in a family like the Lu family. If you really want to operate, just with the Lu family's feelings, it is only easy to stuff Liu Heng and He Bo into them.

"If so. Liu Heng frowned, "If it's so difficult, there is no need to trouble the Lu family and the third master, let's go and find out the statement of Mochizuki City by ourselves first, it's really not good, just don't join the army in Mochizuki City." ”

Uncle He next to him listened to the sound and snorted coldly, "I don't keep my master here, I have my own place to keep my master, I don't believe in my ability to wait, and I have nowhere to take in the heart of serving the country!"

"Okay, then let's pack up and go to the barracks first, and if it doesn't work, let's go." Liu Heng didn't drag the mud and water at all, and immediately made the appearance of packing his luggage.

He just wanted to see if he really forced the three of them away, how he Lu Heqi explained to the Lu family, and how the Lu family explained to Bai Shishi!

Seeing this scene, Lu Heqi really panicked, and hurriedly stopped: "Brother Jin, slow down!"

"What's wrong?" Liu Heng looked puzzled.

"Brother Jin's temperament is really hot, and he is too impatient. Lu Youqi tried to squeeze out a smile, "This is just to make it convenient, if Brother Jin doesn't want to say it directly, my Lu family will sell a few favors, and I can always handle this matter properly." ”

Liu Heng shook his head again and again when he heard this, "How can you let the Lu family and the little third master be so difficult, forget it, I'll just run more places." ”

"Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed!" Lu Youqi was really anxious, "If I don't do what the family ordered, wouldn't it make the family think I'm incompetent, Brother Jin, if you really leave, this is the embarrassment!"

"That's ......"

Liu Hengmo rubbed his chin, "Won't it be too troublesome for the Lu family and the little third master......?"

Lu Youqi immediately looked solemn, "What did Brother Jin say, we can be regarded as friends who have lived and died together, if we have to worry more about this matter, wouldn't Brother Liu be too much out of sight with me?"

Liu Heng frowned, and wanted to say something more, but where did Lu Youqi dare him say more, and hurriedly held him down, "In this way, please Brother Jin and Uncle He sit here, give me more time, let me go for another run, and take care of this matter for you." ”

"Will there be any accidents this time?" Liu Heng asked in embarrassment.

"No, no, no, this time the two of you can wait with confidence!" Lu Heqi promised loudly, but hurriedly closed the door and left.

Seeing him leave in a hurry, Liu Heng burst out laughing, "Isn't this called asking for hardship?"

Liu Heng and He Bo also looked at each other and smiled.

This time, I waited for an hour, and when Lu Heqi came back, he was already sweating and panting, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all, and then lost his elegant demeanor, "Finally live up to high expectations, the two of you will take this note to the barracks later, and naturally someone will bring the two to join the army." ”

took the note he handed over and looked at it, it only read the words "naturalized two", and there was a name left at the end, "Hua Rong", which is the name and surname of the captain of Mochizuki City.

Putting away the note, Liu Heng hugged his fists at him and said, "I am really grateful to the Lu family and the little third master for working hard for us and other things." ”

Lu Youqi smiled, only to feel that the depression in his heart had disappeared a lot, "I have already said the friendship between you and me, Brother Jin doesn't need to thank you for your hypocrisy." I have already inquired that this time Mochizuki City is an independent guard, led by the city captain Hana, but it is incorporated into the northeast road. The military orders explained above, all the newly recruited troops were broken up and reorganized. My Lu family doesn't have any preferential treatment in this regard, so after joining the army, it is difficult for us to get together again, but we can't get along with the two of us anymore. ”

"But you don't have to worry too much, if there is any trouble, just report the name of my Lu family, presumably whoever comes will have to sell our Lu family a little affection. ”

He was complacent and proud of the Lu family.

"That's really...... Forget it, as the third master said, thank you again between us, it's too hypocritical, I keep this feeling in mind. Liu Heng said very solemnly: "In this case, let's just say goodbye to the little third master now." ”

Lu Youqi's smile suddenly froze on his face, "What's the matter?"

Liu Heng looked helpless and glanced at Liu Heng, "It's not this kid yet, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take care of him after I join the army, and it's always difficult to let him live in an inn." So yesterday we went to see the house, and now we are resigning from the third master and placing him in our own yard, so that I can enlist in the army with peace of mind. ”

"This!"

Lu Youqi was really stunned, "Brother Jin, why didn't you say earlier, my Lu family also went to buy a house yesterday, and Brother Jin followed his family to the new courtyard, and when he came to have a lively scene, someone took care of it up and down, and it could also let Brother Jin study with peace of mind, wouldn't it be better?"

Liu Heng sighed when he heard this, "Yes, I knew that I wouldn't have had so much trouble, but now that I have bought all the houses, it is difficult to get rid of them for a while, so I can only do this first." ”

Seeing that Lu Heqi looked like he was not giving up, Liu Heng picked up the salute and said, "Okay, the third master doesn't have to think about it, our friendship is not a matter of one or two days, let's come to Japan." ”

After that, he and He Bo resolutely resigned with Liu Heng, and drove their carriage out of the inn.

Lu Youqi watched the carriage slowly move away, his face finally became more and more ugly, "It's a good one, it's good, let's come to Japan, let's see!"

The three of them drove the carriage in Mochizuki City, but they saw that the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, or there were figures wearing swords and strange artifacts striding through the street, or there were people from the government or the army patrolling the streets, blocking the road and checking the road, all of which caused the people to hurriedly avoid it.

Anyone who goes to this kind of place can feel the unusual tension.

Along the way, they not only saw a few places of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, but also received several interrogations, and then came to an alley under the city wall.

"This is it. ”

Listening to Uncle He's words, Liu Heng looked up at this vermilion gate, with waist-high stone lions erected on both sides, majestic and solemn, and the word "Huofu" written on the door plaque is also vigorous and powerful, worthy of being a scholarly door.

"Yesterday I sent someone to order a new door plaque, and when it was delivered, I replaced it. ”

While talking, He Bo got out of the car and opened the gate, and the three of them drove the carriage to the door, but when they saw the shadow wall in the door, it was also very freehand. Behind the shadow wall is the patio, the main hall is flanked by the wings, and the passage can enter the second courtyard, the same is a boxy pattern, there are also some plum bamboos planted on both sides, and there is a lotus pond in the middle, which is really simple and elegant, so that people like it when they look at it.

"Not bad. The three of them turned around, all showing satisfied looks, Liu Heng looked at it and said, "This will be our home in the future." It's just that the three of us can't use so many rooms to live in, so let's do it, the outside one will be converted into a study, and it will be left for Liu Heng to use exclusively in the future, and the remaining three side rooms are just enough for the three of us. ”

"Just follow the young master's orders. He Bo said with a smile.

"Come slowly!" Liu Heng hurriedly interrupted when he heard this, "Big Brother and Uncle He only occupy one room, how can I occupy one more room, what's going on? No, I only need one, and it's enough to put all the books in my room." ”

"When adults speak, there is no place for you to interject. Besides, this courtyard is usually where you live, so it is naturally up to you to settle it, so you should listen carefully. Liu Heng ignored his protests and suppressed it directly, "Okay, hurry up and settle here, let's go to the barracks." (To be continued.) )
