Poor Family

Rongcheng Nancheng Yaxing, Shang Laojiu looked at the two children in front of him with a twitching face, wrapped up like rice dumplings, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.

It's winter, he doesn't want to receive guests at all, but the two children in front of him are very young, but they are very generous, as soon as they enter the door, they throw a silver ingot of ten taels on the table.

Looking at the Yin Yuanbao, Shang Laojiu was a little moved, and just as he stretched out his hand to take the Yin Yuanbao into his hand, he saw a hand wearing a cotton glove pressing down on the Yin Yuanbao.

"Boss, you still can't get this money."

"You two little guests, what do you want to do?"

"We want to change our household registration, do you have a connection?"

"Change household registration?! Hey, it's not easy to do, even if it can be done, it will cost a lot."

"The matter of money is not a matter, we are military households and want to change to ordinary people"

Before Li Wuya finished speaking, Shang Laojiu interrupted: "You are military households? Please invite the two guest officers, I can't receive you here."

With that said, Li Wuya and Li Qilang were about to be driven out.

"Why? You just said clearly that you can do it?" Li Wuya and Li Qilang were too lazy to leave.

Shang Laojiu was a little annoyed: "That's because I didn't know that you are from military households. The management of military household registration is the strictest. I really have no way out here."

Li Qilang said: "We have silver, we are not short of money."

Shang Laojiu: "No matter how much money you have, I can't do it. If you spend all your money in peacetime, maybe there is still a chance, but..."

"What's the situation now? Da Chu and Bei Yan are fighting. So many soldiers have died in these years. I heard that there is a shortage of people in the barracks. Let alone military households. Maybe even ordinary households will have to serve in the military in the future. gone."

"At this time, you still want to change your military household registration, what are you thinking?"

Li Wuya frowned: "Boss, it may not be easy to change the military household registration, but I don't believe that there will be no way out?"

Then, he took out another ingot of silver and put it on the table.

Shang Laojiu looked at Yin Yuanbao with intense eyes, but finally shook his head: "It's really not that I can't get along with Yin Zi, it's really impossible."

Li Wuya didn't believe it: "Is there no military household who successfully changed their household registration?"

Shang Laojiu glanced outside the door, and then lowered his voice and said: "Yes, but that was in the past. After the new governor came, he vigorously rectified the Protectorate's Mansion, and now no one dares to commit crimes against the wind."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Wuya and Li Qilang.

"Both of you, your family is a military household, right?"

The siblings did not speak.

Shang Laojiu didn't care about their attitude, and said with a smile: "You two must have run out behind your backs, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to me so recklessly, talking about changing your household registration. "

Seeing the doubts in the eyes of the siblings, he kindly explained it to them.

"Since it is a military household, there must be soldiers in the family who have gone to the battlefield. The soldiers who have gone to the battlefield cannot change their household registration."

Li Wuya: "Why?"

Shang Laojiu laughed: "Why? If the soldiers on the battlefield can leave at will, what do you make the remaining soldiers think? Isn't this shaking the morale of the soldiers?"

Li Wuya was still a little unwilling: "Boss, is there really nothing you can do?"

Shang Laojiu simply shook his head: "Unless the court grants an amnesty, there is no other way. Well, it's winter, you two little ones don't feel cold when you run out, go home quickly."

Li Wuya and Li Qilang walked out of the tooth shop depressed.

"Sister, what should I do now?"

Li Wuya knew that it was not easy to change the military household registration, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult. At this time, she had no choice.

Looking at the yamen opposite the dental shop, Li Wuya was a little depressed.

Now they have no shortage of money, but... in this ancient time with strict hierarchy, you can't get things done with money, you have to have status.

They begged their grandpa to tell their grandma what they couldn't do, and others could solve it with a word.

"Let's go, go home first, we've been out for more than half a month, if we don't go back, mother and sister should worry again."

The siblings left Rongcheng that day.

Not long after the two of them left, the incident of Tianluomen's old lair being taken over was discovered, and it spread rapidly, spreading to all major forces in the northwest.

Li Wuya and Li Qilang didn't know how much of a commotion this had caused, they were rushing towards Tianling at full speed.

"Sister, my qinggong has improved again, you see, I can also step on the snow without a trace now."

Li Wuya looked at Li Qilang who was full of ambition, and didn't want him to be too drifting: "But your speed is not good enough." As he said, he accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, he threw away a lot of Li Qilang.

When Li Qilang saw it, he was depressed again, and hurried to catch up: "Sister, can't you let me?"

"Will your enemies let you?"

"Sister, why did you go to Tianshan?"

"Let's go to Tianchi Peak to get the qin and flute first." I didn't expect that the guqin and jade flute sent by the cheap apprentice would come in handy one day. Fortunately, she didn't sell them before.

By the time Li Wuya and Li Qilang returned to Tianlingtun, it was already the end of October.

The siblings had just returned to the military village, and when they passed by the entrance of the village, they saw the people in the village looking at them strangely, and both of them couldn't help but thump in their hearts.

The last time something happened at home, that's how they looked at them. Could it be that something happened at home again?

Both Li Wuya and Li Qilang's expressions changed, and they eagerly asked the nearest person.

"Second uncle, something happened to our family?"

"Wuya, Qilang, don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just that your brother was injured and was carried back."

Before the words were finished, the siblings disappeared.

Ever since Li Wuya's family moved in, Ye Mo's residence has been expanded. There used to be only one room, but now there are five rooms, and the yard has also expanded a lot.

"mother!"

"Second sister!"

Before he got close, Li Qilang's loud voice came into the courtyard.

In the kitchen, Li Erya, who was boiling medicine, ran out immediately. As soon as the courtyard door was opened, Li Wuya and Li Qilang arrived: "Why did you come back?"

"Sister, what's wrong brother?"

Li Wuya and Li Qilang asked anxiously.

Li Erya brought the two of them into the house, and said: "The doctor in the barracks has seen it, brother was broken three ribs, and his internal organs are bleeding, but don't worry, now brother's condition is stable, as long as Just take care of yourself at home.”

When Li Wuya heard that it was so serious, she entered the room in three steps and two steps, and then saw Li Sanlang lying on the kang with a bloodless face.

"came back?"

Li Sanlang is still very weak at the moment, and his voice is a little low.

When Li Qilang saw him, he ran over immediately, his eyes were red and he wanted to touch Li Sanlang, but he was afraid of hurting him, so he could only stand by the kang helplessly: "Brother, why are you hurt so badly?"

Li Wuya walked over with a sullen face: "What did the Huyan family do?"

Li Sanlang shook his head: "I don't know, that man is very skilled, and I can't avoid his attack. If General Zhuang and Dad hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I'd be dead now."

"That person should be a ninth-rank expert. In order to save me, both General Zhuang and Dad were injured." Seeing Li Wuya and Li Qilang's anxious faces, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Dad is fine, he just suffered a little injury." trauma."

Li Wuya didn't ask any more questions, and grabbed Li Sanlang's wrist to feel his pulse. At the same time, she released her mental power to check Li Sanlang.

"Brother, you take good care of it, and nothing will happen."

Li Sanlang didn't worry much before. After taking the decoction made by his younger sister, he obviously felt much stronger. Some minor injuries and ailments can heal quickly even without taking medicine.

Even though the injury was a little serious this time, he was very relieved.

Now that the little girl is back, he doesn't worry about his injuries anymore.

You know, the younger sister is the apprentice of the old man Tianchi.

After Li Wuya came back, she took over Li Sanlang's illness. In addition to taking medicine on time, she also gave Li Sanlang acupuncture every night.

When the silver needle pierced the acupoint, the healing ability poured into Li Sanlang's body along the silver needle, helping him repair his body silently.

Others have broken ribs, so they have to lie in bed for two or three months, but when he came to Li Sanlang's place, after more than half a month, he was able to get up and move around on the ground.

"Brother, why are you up?"

When Li Erya saw Li Sanlang going to the ground, her face was full of disapproval.

Li Sanlang smiled and moved his arms and legs: "I'm almost fine."

"It's almost the same. Didn't Wuya say that I will let you stay for three months. Don't rush back to Dioling Pass. The battlefield is so dangerous, so you can stay at home with peace of mind."

Li Erya insisted on supporting Li Sanlang to lie down on the kang again: "It's only been a hundred days since you hurt your muscles and bones, how long has it been for you, lie down well."

Li Sanlang knew that the eldest sister was concerned about him, so he smiled helplessly, and then looked at the sky outside the window: "Why haven't Wuya and Qilang come back yet?"

Today, Li Wuya and Li Qilang went to Dieling Pass to deliver some food and medicine to Li Changsen.

Li Erya was also a little worried: "According to their pace, they should have come back long ago, nothing will happen, right?"

Li Sanlang was silent for a while: "Don't think about it, it should be delayed by Dad." With Wuya and Qilang's lightness skills, even if they encounter any accidents, it is difficult for anyone to stop them.

It wasn't until dark that Li Wuya and Li Qilang came back.

Seeing that both of them were frowning, Li Sanlang and Li Erya were a little anxious: "What's wrong, something happened to dad?"

Li Qilang shook his head: "No, we waited for a day, but we didn't see Dad at all."

Li Sanlang frowned: "Why is this happening? Is there another war today?"

Li Wuya looked at Li Sanlang: "The blame is here, there is no war today, why doesn't Dad have time to see us?"

Li Sanlang reassured his younger siblings: "Don't worry, it may be that Dad has something to do and can't get away."

Li Wuya nodded, and two days later, she took Li Qilang to Dieling Pass again, but she still didn't see Li Changsen.

After returning home, Li Wuya said to Li Sanlang: "Brother, I feel something is wrong."

Li Sanlang straightened his face: "What's wrong?"

Li Wuya frowned: "Something may have happened to Dad. I saw Dad's deputy captain at Dieling Pass today. The way he looked at me made me flustered."

Hearing what she said, Li Sanlang couldn't calm down anymore: "I'll go back to Dioling Pass tomorrow."

None of the four brothers and sisters dared to tell Jin Yue'e about this matter. Fortunately, Jin Yue'e worked at the post station and didn't spend much time at home, so she didn't notice anything unusual.

Early the next morning, Li Sanlang brought his younger siblings to Dioling Pass.

"You wait for me outside the city. As soon as there is news about my father, I will come out and tell you."

After Li Sanlang entered the city, he went directly to the Qianfeng Camp and walked around, but neither found Li Changsen nor found any news.

After a moment of silence, Li Sanlang went straight to the commander's tent.

Seeing Li Sanlang, the commander-in-chief was very surprised: "Your injury is healed?"

Li Sanlang didn't answer directly, but directly asked Li Changsen's whereabouts: "My lord, where is my father?"

When Li Changsen was mentioned, the commander immediately fell silent.

Seeing him like this, Li Sanlang panicked even more: "Did something happen to my father?"

The commander hesitated for a moment, got up and said, "You can come with me to see General Zhuang."

Hearing this, Li Sanlang's heart sank.

His father is just a small captain, how can he alarm General Zhuang?

Did something really happen to dad?

Li Sanlang's complexion turned pale in an instant, especially when he thought of the ninth-rank master who attacked him on the battlefield, he instantly filled his brain with various scenes of Li Changsen being tortured and killed.

When they arrived at Zhuang Yutang's camp, Li Sanlang had already scared himself pale.

It's just that his appearance, in Zhuang Yutang's eyes, meant that his injury hadn't healed, and he came over to inquire about Li Changsen's news.

"Your father should be fine now."

Li Sanlang immediately caught the loophole in Zhuang Yutang's words: "It's fine now, what about the future? Will something happen in the future?"

Zhuang Yutang was silent for a moment, waved his hands to signal left and right to back off, and then said: "Some time ago, Beiyan showed signs of a truce, you know about it, right?"

Li Sanlang nodded.

Zhuang Yutang: "However, just half a month ago, the Beiyan army started to provoke wars again and again."

Li Sanlang didn't understand what this had to do with his father, but he didn't dare to interrupt Zhuang Yutang, so he could only suppress the anxiety in his heart and listened quietly.

Zhuang Yutang's complexion was not very good: "This matter is too strange. The governor sent many people to investigate, and only then did I know that Beiyan stopped a while ago because the granary was out of support."

"However, more than half a month ago, the Beiyan army brought in another batch of food and grass from nowhere to make up for the shortage of food and grass, and then started to clamor wildly again."

"Their food and grass are supplemented, but we...we have no food to supplement."

"The treasury has been emptied out of the battle against Beiyan in these years, and now there is no food and grass to support the continuation of the war, so..."

Zhuang Yutang looked at Li Sanlang: "So, in order to force Beiyan to cease fighting, Beiyan's batch of grain must be destroyed."

Hearing this, Li Sanlang instantly understood what Li Changsen was doing: "My father."

Zhuang Yutang: "After reporting to the imperial court, the governor personally selected a group of capable soldiers and formed a team to burn Beiyan's grain and grass. Your father volunteered to sign up."

"Everyone who participated in this operation can put forward one condition. Your father's condition is that as long as the food and grass of the Beiyan Army can be burned, your family's military household registration will be changed."

Li Sanlang swayed and couldn't stand upright.

How important is the food and grass of the food and grass army, and the Northern Yan Army will definitely send heavy troops to guard it. How difficult it is to burn it down!

Now that his father is gone, can he come back?

Zhuang Yutang looked at Li Sanlang, and didn't know how to comfort him: "Your injury is still not healed, go home and take care of it." After speaking, he asked someone to come in and take Li Sanlang away.

At the gate of the city, Li Wuya and the three saw Li Sanlang walking out with flimsy hands and feet, and their hearts rose to their throats.

"Brother, Dad is fine, right?"

Seeing Baba looking at his three younger siblings, Li Sanlang couldn't hide the pain on his face, and with a trembling voice, he told about Li Changsen's going to burn the Beiyan Army's rations.

The complexions of Li Erya and Li Qilang changed drastically, and Li Wuya also looked solemn.

In order to change her household registration, her father joined the Death Squad!

The army granary must be behind the Beiyan army. Her father has gone, can she still come back?
