People, the butt determines the head. Different positions, different stances, different perspectives on problems, and different views on the same thing.

Everyone felt that they were about to die and could not look forward or backward. It was already time to ask for help, so they supported asking for Rongchuan.

Dongming Ziyu didn't know why there was no news about the jade mine, and wanted to ask, so he said: "I will set off to Fengcheng to find Rongchuan now."

From here to Fengcheng, it takes half a day to ride a fast horse. Besides, you may not be able to see it right away.

He knew best that the palace was heavily guarded and it would be difficult for ordinary people to even get close, let alone see the Second Young Master.

Mr. Dong said: "Let Dalang and your second brother go with you."

Shuan Zhu said: "Fourth brother, I will go with you, I can fight."

Dongming Ziyu even thought of leading the horse from space after leaving the village. Otherwise, when would he be able to reach it on foot?

He said: "The matter is urgent. We only have three days. I thought it would be faster to rent a horse when I get to the county seat. After that, I don't know if I can get close to the palace, so I will waste as little time as possible on the road."

Renting a horse with a deposit and rent costs a lot of money. If there are too many people going, it is a waste of money. Besides, this is not going to fight, and it will be useless if there are too many people."

Dong Chunlei thought for a while and said: "How can life be important for money? We can't let you go so far alone. It's not safe or uneven on the road, and it won't work without someone to take care of you. Let Shuan Zhu go with you, his ruthlessness can

Help you."

Mrs. Qian also said: "Yes, yes, if you go alone, your family will be worried."

The others all agreed, saying that Dongming Ziyu was worried about going alone.

"Okay!" Dongming Ziyu stopped evading and said to Shangguan Ruoli: "Prepare some dry food and water for us. Let's set off now and go to the county town first."

Mrs. Qian and Ms. Shuan Zhu said at the same time: "I'm going to get some dry food."

"I'll prepare water for them." Shangguan Ruoli returned to her room, took out two water hyacinths filled with spiritual springs, put them in her backpack, and added the dried meat and snacks she made in the space.

Of course, there is also a change of clothes, various pills and powders, as well as daggers, flying tiger claws, and darts.

Shuanzhu's mother also made Shuanzhu a backpack based on their backpacks. It was easy to carry and could hold more things.

Dongming Ziyu put his bag on his back and said to Dong Chunlei and Old Man Dong: "Don't put all your hopes on Rongchuan, he is just a child. In the past two days, you should also discuss who will go and who will go.

He must be the one with the best chance of surviving in the family."

Everyone was panicking again. Even people like Shuan Zhuniang whose family members did not have to serve in the military were still panicking.

This shows that the most capable people are leaving. The strong laborers are still being bullied. How will the remaining old and weak live their lives?

Everyone was worried and sent Dongming Ziyu and Shuan Zhu off.

As soon as I walked to the path between the vegetable fields, I saw many villagers walking towards me from a distance.

Dong Chunlei became alert, "What do they want to do again?"

Mrs. Qian said uneasily: "You haven't left yet, do they want to bully you?"

Shuan Zhu said coldly: "Don't be afraid, they also provide two strong laborers per family, which is equivalent to half a pound!"

Dongming Ziyu narrowed his cold eyes, "It doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble."

After a while, the two groups of people met on the path.

They looked at Dongming Ziyu eagerly and asked: "Are you going to ask the second son of King Chen? Can our village be exempted from military service?"

"Can you help us too? We are all from the same village."

"Yes, yes, fellow villagers should help each other."

"Yes, yes, we are fellow villagers from the same village! In the future, when the children marry, we will become one family!"

Shuan Zhu sneered mockingly, "When you don't let us go up the mountain and cut off our livelihood, why don't you say we are a family? Why don't you say we are fellow villagers?"

The Jiang family members looked stern, but in order to prevent their family members from going to the battlefield, they were all shameless and said all they could to say good things.

Dongming Ziyu would not waste time or words with these people, so he walked through the crowd with Shuan Zhu,

But behind those people, Jiang Hongda and his youngest son were waiting there with a mule.

Jiang Hongda said: "I know you have no livestock, so I found two mature mules in the village. Although they are not as good as horses, they are still very fast. You can ride on the mules."

His attitude was sincere, he said nothing else, and he didn't even mention a word about military service.

Dongming Ziyu accepted it happily and said, "Thank you very much, village chief!"

Together with Shuan Zhu, he took the reins, mounted the mule, and left.

Dong Chunlei stepped forward to express his gratitude to Jiang Hongda, "Thank you very much, village chief. You have helped us a lot."

Jiang Hongda said: "You're welcome! In the village, only the village head's family has horses. Oxen and donkeys are too slow. Although mules are not as good as horses, they are almost as few."

Dong Chunlei thought about it for a while, and then said: "Our fourth son went to find the second young master of King Chen to find a solution. However, the second young master is still young and is not in charge. I don't know if we can see him. Besides, the second young master is

The emperor's grandson is the master of this territory, and he might be angry when he hears that we are not willing to go to war."

When everyone heard that it was indeed such a theory, they all withered.

Jiang Hongda was a little depressed and nodded, "I know, I understand everything, so I didn't force it. I just had the last glimmer of hope."

Dong Chunlei didn't want to miss this opportunity to make good friends with the village, and said: "If possible, we will fight for one or two for the village."

Everyone expressed their gratitude in a spiritless manner and went home with a slumped head.

Soon there were quarrels from some families: "Why should I go? You have been partial to your eldest brother since you were a child, and now you are willing to die and let me go? I won't go!"

"You can't let my father go, let your uncle go, let your third uncle go!"

"Dad, you are so old and you have lived a long life. You and your eldest brother go there. I haven't gotten married yet and have children!"

"Beat you for being an unfilial son!"

Mr. Dong and Dong Chunlei stood at the entrance of the village, watching Dongming Ziyu and Shuan Zhu go up the official road and disappear from sight. They listened to all kinds of crying and cursing in the village, looked at each other, and let out a long sigh.

.

"Go back, you haven't understood your family's affairs yet, don't listen to other people's jokes." Mr. Dong's back was a little stooped.

Everyone was worried and returned to their residences silently. The original shacks were still there, and each family consciously went back to their own shacks to discuss.

Higashikata said: "Mom, dad, if you have to join the army, I am the eldest brother and the elder is old enough to start a family, so let me go."

"Woo!" Li hugged Erlang and Sanya and cried, but didn't say anything.

Dalang's eyes turned red and he said: "No, parents, grandparents, I am young and have learned a lot of skills from my fourth uncle. I'll go! Let dad stay and be filial to my grandparents and take care of everyone."

Dong Youliang hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom and dad, I'm one of them!"

"Her father!" Ms. Liu pulled him and cried: "Da Ya, Er Ya is still young, and San Lang is only nine years old. If you go, how are you going to let us girls live?"

Dong Youliang frowned and said, "You have parents and brothers, why can't you get through?"

Old man Dong said nothing and looked at the third child, Dong Youyin.
