Escape from the desert with aura: I am the only native in the whole family

Chapter 260

"We have been brought to the barracks for three months of training. At least we can wield knives and guns. Besides, the general promised that we are just infantry. If there is a war, there will be light cavalry and archers in front of us."

"What about Uncle Zheng? Why didn't you see anyone else?" Ah Jiu asked, "Is there anyone else?"

"Your Uncle Zheng is good at equestrian skills. You are a small courier, and everyone else is in the city. Anyway, you can get a ladle of water in three days and a steamed bun a day. You don't have to worry."

After Ma Dabiao's hasty explanation, he quickly followed the troops, turned around and waved at Ah Jiu.

The mighty team gradually disappeared like a wandering dragon towards the distance, and then a team of Qingqi was cut off.

Ah Jiu recognized at a glance that one of the people inside was Zhao Kun.

Perhaps there were too many people blocking the city, so Zhao Kun didn't notice her.

Ah Jiu returned to the ox cart and hurriedly told the story.

At this time, the team in front showed signs of moving towards Nanming City, but the speed was very slow.

"When will we be able to enter the city? If we don't return, we will have to check one by one." Meng Shaode anxiously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What are you afraid of? There's still half a day left in the world today. You can climb into the city before dark." Cai Lihua is optimistic.

Ah Jiu thought about it too, sitting quietly in the car with her arms around the two children and waiting.

I don't know how long it took, but the autumn sun was blinding people's eyes.

There was a sudden commotion from the front: "Why don't we let us enter the city, why?"

"Yes, we are all citizens of Nanming City, so why not let us enter the city?"

In an instant, the voice from the front rushed to Ah Jiu's side like a tide.

There were also refugees from other villages who came one after another. They were relatively close to the city, and there were many marriages in several villages, so the news spread very quickly.

"No entry?" Cai Lihua suddenly stood up.

"That's right, why is this? We have documents in hand." Meng Shaode became more and more anxious as he waited.

"A notice has been posted at the city gate." Someone shouted in front.

Immediately, a group of people put the carriage and the whole family temporarily, and walked and shuttled towards the city gate.

Ah Jiu also jumped down, followed closely by Meng Shaode and Cai Lihua.

"Aunt Li, you wait here with the children, don't go anywhere, lest you turn around and be crowded." Ah Jiu did not forget to explain.

When they squeezed to the city gate, there were more than three layers of human walls inside and outside. If Meng Shaode hadn't hugged his daughter and let him sit on his shoulders, he might not even see the sign.

"Daughter, what are you talking about?"

Ah Jiu murmured word by word: "The general meaning is that if a family produces a strong man, the family members of the soldiers can be allowed to enter the city."

"What? Don't you want to catch young men?" Cai Lihua's heart was pounding.

Ah Jiu stood up and got down: "King Nanming didn't say that he must be arrested, and at the end he said that he respected the opinions of the people and pursued voluntary military service."

Why does Ah Jiu vaguely feel that the king of Nanming seems to understand righteousness on the surface, but he is actually forcing him to join the army with the slogan of conforming to the people's sentiments, so that he won't get a bad reputation for arresting young men, and those who join the army are like Uncle Ma, willing to work hard.

"Yeah, what kind of trick is this?" Meng Shaode's expression turned ugly, because he was the only one in their big family who was qualified to join the army.

"Shaode, we have documents." Cai Lihua looked at the man worriedly.

"Youwen is also guaranteed by Xiao Yan. Besides, is he the elder or the prince?" Meng Shaode took a few steps out of the crowd, knelt down helplessly and scratched his scalp a few times.

At this time, some people had already entered the crowd to sign up, and soon there was a long line of twenty or thirty people.

"I'll go, brother, take care of your family. Fortunately, we are two brothers."

"How about I go, and you take care of our parents at home."

"You guys have two brothers anyway, and I'm the only one in our family. I don't want to go." The hesitant man's face was lifeless.

"If you don't go, you won't be able to survive if there is a war outside the city. If you enter the city, King Nanming will send someone to share some food with our family."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was calculating their interests.

"Let me go, you are safe in the city anyway, and you still don't lack food and drink. No matter what, you are a hundred times better than those who flee from famine and are afraid of bandits and refugee troops." These words were heard by Meng Shaode, and he stood up and walked to the queue. That.

"Shaode!" Cai Lihua's eyes turned red.
