When the sky goes thousands of miles north, it is a dry and hot scene.
The sand and gravel baked by the hot sun and the steaming heat distort the air. The dwarf plants attach to the ground and strive to draw water from the depths of the earth to supply curly branches and leaves.
The earth shook faintly. A moment later, a crescent hoof trampled violently, and the curly branches and leaves were whirled up in the air and floated down among the fierce sand and stones.
There was a roar from near to far.
"Come on! Come on!"
In the roaring armor, countless iron hoofs stepped on it.
There was a sound mixed in the thick horseshoes and shouted.
"The general has an order to recruit 50000 people in the north in three days. They have resisted the Tang army and almost missed the military plane. There is no amnesty for killing them!"
make love.
The sound of the whip beating the horse shook the desolate field.
A large number of people and horses scattered dust on the vast plain.
Five miles away.
Surrounded by green trees, there is the sound of streams flowing.
Even at fifty Li Zheng, he pressed the bucket in his hand down the stream. In the roaring sound, the clear river filled the bucket and was lifted.
The people in sackcloth came from a distance and warmly greeted Li Zheng carrying buckets back to the village.
"Li Zheng, diving and cooking?"
Li Zheng grinned and nodded.
"Yes, after this meal, I have to go to the city and come back with some rice to see what we need."
"By the way, Sanwa, do you need to take it with you?"
The man who was called Sanwa smiled simply and honestly, quite embarrassed.
"I can''t come back until Haishi when I go to the city. My family also needs rice and oil noodles. I''m afraid it will delay you."
It is a village custom to bring things to the city. After all, the road is far away, and no one will go to the city every day. Moreover, only a few families have horses and cattle in the village, which generally exists as a treasure.
Especially in this hot day, most of the villagers are afraid of being tired of horses and cattle, delaying the agricultural time and unwilling to enter the city easily.
"Ouch! Li Zheng! You can''t go into the city!"
A cry came in a hurry, and the woman in plain clothes inserted words in a high bun.
The woman with a gloomy face shook the broken Pu fan, and the idle words came with impatient footsteps.
"Li Zheng, you don''t know that the city has begun to catch people everywhere."
"Two days ago, I went to the market to buy food. Ouch, those soldiers in armor look terrible with swords in their hands."
"All the young people in the city were kidnapped. They said that Tang Bing called. I heard that landlord Zhang''s son in the city was also arrested. Landlord Zhang is a big grain grower in the city. I heard that he was stubborn when he stuffed money and silk."
Conscription?
Hearing this word, Li Zheng''s face turned white.
In this small village, nearly half of the people are fleeing labor and gather here, mostly in their old age.
If the young and strong in the village were recruited and transferred now, no one would be competent to go to the city to buy grain and drive cattle.
Just as I was about to open my mouth, I suddenly heard hooves outside the village.
There was a roar.
"Surround!"
Hearing the clatter and the shaking of the armor, the woman was shocked, and her sharp voice suddenly rose.
"Oh, my God! The military master is coming, and the strong men are coming!"
The exclamation broke the quiet village.
The sleeping figure in the house, with half open eyes, pushed the door to check. The woman who was working as a female worker put down her needle and thread and looked at the hut window. The young child was woken up and cried when he saw no one beside him. The domestic animals in captivity were disturbed by the rumbling hoofs and hissed uneasily in the circle.
The two men at the entrance of the village saw a war horse running out of the shady path, a general in armor, a blue cloak flying, and a spear in his hand.
The galloping horse came and screamed in front of the stunned two people, and they stood up.
Brush.
The cold blade, shining in the sun, was under his command in the air.
The voice full of prestige came out slowly under the cloak.
"In charge of the village, stand up and speak!"
Patter.
The bucket on his shoulder fell to the ground. In horror, Li Zheng couldn''t stop taking two steps back and sat down on the ground shivering.
"Jun... Jun ye, what... What''s your order?"
Looking around, the tiger''s eyes slowly moved to the figure on the ground, suddenly cold.
"Are you Li Zheng?"
Without an answer, the condescending voice spoke again.
"Gather all the people in the village. When I count to three, I''ll see everyone here!"
The next moment.
Riding a taxi with a big head, they gathered around.
A roar rang through the mountains.
"Get out! Whet what haw is doing!"
"Believe it or not, I have ordered the hut!"
Wow.
Houses were pushed aside, and men and women in rags rushed out of the huts.
The scream, accompanied by the cry of half the children, instantly made the whole village restless.
The people who rushed out of the house looked at the general standing at the head of the horse and were afraid to approach.
A grumpy soldier whipped his horse and roared.
"Roll over and gather!"
The people at the end pushed and pushed forward, and the people at the top of the line shrank. They let the people behind them push and bustle, but they didn''t want to get close to the murderous general.
Pop.
The sound of the whip whipping on the skin exploded.
A woman''s scream of pain sounded.
The crowd suddenly became restless and crowded behind Li Zheng. The man''s heavy breathing and the voice of uncontrollable teeth trembled, and the woman''s sobbing became clear.
