Chapter 278 Joining the Army
Inside the teahouse private room.

Yang Jinzhong raised his head, looked over with sharp eyes, and looked at Li Xiaodao who had just entered, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

Li Xiaodao stood there neither humble nor overbearing, without any panic in his eyes.

After a while, Yang Jinzhong looked away, nodded in satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to signal Li Xiaodao to sit down.

Li Xiaodao was not polite, and sat directly opposite him.

Yang Jinzhong picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"Yang guards Lord Yang." Li Xiaodao replied.

"Oh?" Yang Jinzhong's eyes lit up, he became interested, put down his cup and asked, "How did you know?"

"Your Excellency must already know that I am a policeman, and I usually do the work of investigating and arresting people, so I have developed the ability to recognize people."

"Your majesty is extraordinary, with calluses on your tiger's mouth, and the military officer's boots on your feet, and your appearance that is [-] to [-]% similar to Ruyi, I conclude that you are Ruyi's elder brother Yang Shoubei, Master Yang." Li Xiaodao explained clearly.

"Not bad!" Yang Jinzhong praised.

Through these words, it shows that Li Xiaodao is a smart person, and he is also rough and subtle.

"I came today for a wishful event." Yang Jinzhong said straight to the point.

Hearing this, Li Xiaodao's calm expression changed.

Seeing this, Yang Jinzhong smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "You don't have to be nervous, I'm not that old-fashioned person, since Ruyi likes you, I won't tear you apart."

After hearing this, Li Xiaodao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, the tense expression on his face eased, and he raised his hand to wipe the thin sweat on his forehead.

Suddenly, Yang Jinzhong changed his voice: "But I can't let Ruyi be wronged."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely not let Ruyi be wronged." Li Xiaodao solemnly assured.

"How do you guarantee it?" Yang Jinzhong looked at Li Xiaodao and asked in a deep voice.

"I, I..." Li Xiaodao hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

Yes, what guarantee does he have?

"I have an opportunity here, if you can seize it, it should make Ruyi happy." Yang Jinzhong said.

"What chance?" Li Xiaodao asked.

"Join the army." Yang Jinzhong replied.

"You also know my official position. I have some energy in the army of Linjiang Prefecture. I recommend you to be a foreign commissioner in the army. If you make military achievements, then..."

Yang Jinzhong didn't say the rest, but Li Xiaodao already knew it in his heart.

To himself, this was a complete coincidence, and he should have agreed without even thinking about it.

But as the eldest in the family, he must think about his younger siblings, not just himself.

Joining the army is unavoidably dangerous. If something happens to him, who will take care of Fat Miaoer and the others.

Li Xiaodao's brows were furrowed, his thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind, and he looked embarrassed.

Seeing Li Xiaodao's appearance, Yang Jinzhong showed a satisfied smile again.

He knew what Li Xiaodao was thinking, which was one of the reasons why he agreed with Yang Ruyi to associate with him.

Yang Jinzhong's family has only two brothers and sisters and no parents, which is somewhat similar to Fat Miao'er's family. He likes the role of the eldest brother like Li Xiaodao very much.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaodao gritted his teeth and said, "My lord's kindness is appreciated by Xiaodao."

In the end, he chose to take care of Fat Miao'er and the others, putting his own future aside.

"Xiaodao, I appreciate your responsibility." Yang Jinzhong praised.

"Thank you sir, please give me some time, I will be able to prove it to you." Li Xiaodao said solemnly.

"Xiaodao, you are a fast catcher now. Even if you are given time, you are at most a head catcher. What future do you have?"

"I know you are worried about your younger siblings, but you have to take a long-term view. Now you can still help them, what about the future?"

"When your second brother is admitted to Jinshi and becomes an official, your third brother becomes a big businessman, and your two younger sisters get married, can you still help them?"

"You go to join the army not only for yourself and for Ruyi, but also to better help your younger brothers and sisters in the future." Yang Jinzhong persuaded him earnestly.

After several questions in succession, Li Xiaodao seemed to be enlightened, and Mao Sai suddenly understood.

He thinks the problem is still too one-sided, his vision is not long-term enough, and he is only limited to the present moment.

"Thank you, my lord, for your reminder." Li Xiaodao stood up and bowed deeply to Yang Jinzhong.

"Yeah!" Yang Jinzhong nodded and readily accepted.

"My lord, I am willing to join the army." Li Xiaodao said with firm eyes.

After listening, Yang Jinzhong took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over, and said: "Take this letter and go to the barracks to find Mr. Jiang, and he will arrange for you when the time comes."

Li Xiaodao took it with his hand, carefully put the letter into his bosom, bowed again and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

"Well, you don't need to see outsiders like this. When there are no outsiders in the future, you can just call me Brother Yang." Yang Jinzhong waved his hand.

The reason why he helped Li Xiaodao so much was because of Yang Ruyi.

After parting that day, Yang Ruyi went directly to Yang Jinzhong and said that he would never marry in this life.

Yang Jinzhong loved Yang Ruyi very much, and with his wife's persuasion, he decided to give Li Xiaodao a chance.

He made an agreement with Yang Ruyi to test Li Xiaodao first, and if he couldn't satisfy him, he would never agree.

When we met today, Li Xiaodao was not fascinated by the interests, and he could still think of his younger siblings at critical moments. He is a person who values ​​love, righteousness and responsibility, and he has passed the first test.

If he can pass the test in the army, he will marry Yang Ruyi to Li Xiaodao, and it will not be too late for him to promote him vigorously.

"Brother Yang." Li Xiaodao called.

"Oh!" Yang Jinzhong responded.

Yang Jinzhong explained some precautions in the army, and let Li Xiaodao leave.

……

within the county government.

Li Xiaodao told Wu Yong what happened just now.

"Xiaodao, this is a rare opportunity. You must seize it. You can go there without worry, and leave the family to the master and wife." Wu Yong patted Li Xiaodao on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Master!" Li Xiaodao said solemnly.

"You kid, be polite to the master, are you looking for a beating?" Wu Yong's eyes widened.

"I made a mistake, master." Li Xiaodao immediately relented.

In the past three years, Wu Yong has treated him like his own son. Not only has he taught him all his skills, but when the prisoner is in danger, Wu Yong will sacrifice his life to save the prisoner regardless of safety.

"Xiaodao, it's dangerous in the army, you must be more careful, and keep this matter quiet, so as not to affect Master Yang badly." Wu Yong instructed.

"Master, I know." Li Xiaodao nodded.

Then Wu Yong took Li Xiaodao to see Director Cao, told him about his resignation as a police officer, and said a lot of words of thanks.

Director Cao tried to persuade him to stay, and then asked the reason.

Li Xiaodao prevaricates on the grounds that his family is busy with business.

After finishing all the formalities, Li Xiaodao and Wu Yong rode back to Dashi Village together.
