Gou is a soldier on the border

Chapter 63 Destination: Capital City (recommended)

The map almost covered the floor between the bed and the desk.

Wang Luo spread the map on the ground and slowly opened it.

He was surprised to find that most of the area on this map turned out to be blank.

Only in the upper right corner of the map is a small area marked with the names Liang Guo and Lie Guo.

The topography of Liang and Lie countries is clearly marked on the map.

All information including cities, mountains, and rivers is available.

Even the passages on Qilian Mountain are clearly marked on the map.

Wang Luobi drew the distance from Beihuang to the capital, calculated in his mind, and found that it would take about ten days to travel from Beiman to the capital on horseback.

After reading it, he took the map back.

Wang Luo, who already had a vague guess in his heart, believed that other areas of this map should gradually reveal other parts as his activity area expanded.

He put away the map, walked out of the room, thought for a while, and walked to Wang Wei's residence.

Subconsciously, he pushed open the door and walked into Wang Wei's room, when a scream came from inside.

Yu Wenjiu jumped off Wang Wei's lap and ran out of the room without looking back.

Wang Luo looked at Wang Wei, who was in a mess, in embarrassment, and the other party's eyes were full of resentment.

"Uh...Second brother, it's broad daylight, isn't it good?"

Out of anger, Wang Wei picked up the broom in the corner and ran out after Wang Luo.

"Stop and see if I don't kill you!"

Wang Wei's cry spread throughout the courtyard on the first day of the Lunar New Year. . . .

The relaxing time always flies by quickly. On the second day, Wang Luo rode on the desert and began to perform his last patrol mission in the North Army.

He led a team of scouts to patrol the Qilian Mountain Pass for three days, and after confirming that the northern barbarians hadn't made any moves, he took He Laoliu and the others back to camp on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

"Brother Six, I have a good news and a bad news to tell everyone, which one do you want to hear first?" On the night they came back, Wang Luo and Wang Wei invited the brothers of Scout Yiwu to have a meal together.

He Laoliu raised his head and glanced at Wang Luo.

"Let's start with the bad news."

"Second brother and I are going to the capital with Chen Shangshu." Wang Luo said to everyone with a serious face.

The little wolf let out a cry of surprise.

"Wang Luo, are you leaving?"

Wang Luo nodded.

"I heard that His Majesty is going to train a new army in the capital, and my second brother and I are going to train the scout troops over there."

Wang Wei nodded to show that what Wang Luo said was true.

"Then are you coming back?" He Laoliu asked with his usual expression, took a sip of his wine.

"Of course I will come back. Beihuang is my root. If I don't go back here, where will I go?"

"That's good. Let's drink together again on the day when you come back after becoming famous! Come on, let's make this drink and practice it for the two of you!" He Lao Liu filled his own glass and raised the wine glass to the two of them.

Everyone drank it.

"Okay, I can tell you the good news."

"The good news is..." Wang Luo and Wang Wei looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces couldn't be stopped anymore.

"You guys go with us!"

The members of Scout One Corps raised their heads together, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"You mean? Us?"

"That's right, Sixth Brother, you first Wu, and the Second Wu who is out on patrol, go to the capital with me and Second Brother!"

A burst of low cheers soon sounded in the small room.

In this way, on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Wei and Wang Luo rode their war horses, took the robes of the first and second Wuwu, followed Chen Ping's convoy, and embarked on the road to the capital.

Two days later, they officially left the Northern Wilderness and came to the Central Plains.

Unlike the dangers everywhere in the Northern Wilderness, Wang Luo clearly felt the scene of prosperity when he entered the Central Plains.

The people Wang Luo met generally had satisfied smiles on their faces. They were well-dressed, clean and tidy, and polite in conversation. When they met soldiers who obviously came from the border, they did not show any discrimination. On the contrary, they often could I met people who brought various things to them with vegetable baskets.

"Young man, these are the eggs laid by the hen at home. You are so thin, eat them to replenish your body." On this day, while walking on the road, Wang Luo was suddenly stopped by an old woman on the side of the road.

Wang Luo looked at the little basket that the old woman stuffed for him with a puzzled expression, and it was covered with a clean basket cloth.

"Ma'am, we can't take things from the common people!" He refused again and again, but he couldn't refuse.

"Are you soldiers from the Northern Wilderness?" The old woman said with a smile on her face as she forced the basket of eggs into Wang Luo's hand.

"Yes, we reject the North Army."

"Children, I have really suffered for you. How could we live such a good life without your frontline workers going through life and death?" The old woman's attitude became more determined.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, Wang Wei walked over.

"Okay, you can keep the one that the aunt gave you." Wang Wei bowed to the old woman, came to her side, and took the egg from him.

"Well, good stuff, thank you ma'am!" Wang Wei also said to the old woman with a smile on his face.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the old woman finally let go of her hand in satisfaction, and staggered towards the back.

It wasn't until their convoy was far away that the old woman looked away and walked home.

Walking on the road, the old woman suddenly felt something heavy in her pocket.

She dubiously took it out of her pocket, and unexpectedly pulled out a piece of broken silver.

Looking at this piece of money, which was more than enough to buy her basket of eggs, the old woman suddenly laughed.

She remembered seeing the official notice at the gate of the city today.

When she got home, the old woman put the money on the table and looked at it from time to time. Finally, she seemed to have made some decision.

Not long after, the old woman's honest farmer's son returned home.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Da Niu, are you back?"

Daniel walked into the house.

"To dredge the river today, the government gave me a whole hundred dollars. Mother, what do you want to eat, my son will buy it for you." He took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket, and said to his old mother with joy .

Suddenly he saw the silver on the table.

"Mother, how did the money come from?"

The old woman looked at her son with some reluctance in her eyes.

"Daniu, mother, let's discuss something with you."

"What's wrong girl?"

"I heard that the capital is going to recruit soldiers, Daniel, you go to be a soldier."

Daniel froze in place, and soon he laughed honestly.

"Mom, I'm leaving, who will take care of you?"

"Your second brother is working as an apprentice in the pharmacy in the town, and he's about to graduate soon, so you don't have to worry about me. You just need to take care of yourself when you get to the capital."

"Okay, mother, what do you say, the son will do whatever, so when shall I go?"

"The government just posted the notice today, you can pack up and go, take this piece of money..." The old woman stood up and walked into her room.

After a while, she came out again with a small red cloth bag, and untied the small cloth bag layer by layer.

It was full of scattered silver coins, some big and some small, adding up to about five taels.

"Take all these. Don't treat yourself badly on the way, eat whatever you want."

　Hey, how can the years be quiet, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for us.
