Recently, people from Xining on the border have been taking action frequently because the king of Donglong County was recalled to the capital.

In order to strengthen defense, Mu Yan decisively ordered the county lieutenants to strengthen guarding the border, fearing that a slight oversight would lead to a big mistake.

The county captain knew everything about how Mu Yan became the county governor.

At first, she was full of doubts. How could a young girl, He De, be qualified for such an important task?

However, after the imperial edict was issued, she put aside her dissatisfaction. Now she obeys Mu Yan's orders, and Mu Yan also devoted his time to it.

Su Jishan chewed foxtail grass, leaned on the pillar and sighed, "The county captain was beaten again."

Meng Daan stood aside expressionlessly and responded coldly, "You are gloating."

Su Jishan did not deny it. Looking at people who had experienced the same suffering as him, he felt indescribable.

Thinking that she was even worse off than the county lieutenant at the beginning, forget it and let the hero not mention the past.

She glanced at Meng Daan and couldn't help but curse in her heart. Since following the adults, Meng Daan's character has become more and more like an adult and he talks less and less.

A few years ago, she had met Meng Daan. At that time, she was full of lofty ideals and sworn brothers. However, now she acts in a strict manner and can't even smile.

Time really makes people grow old!

"You're scolding me."

Meng Daan suddenly spoke out, bringing Su Jishan, who was in a daze, back to reality.

She retorted guiltily, "Whoever scolded you must have heard it wrong!"

Meng Daan did not speak to refute, but looked at her deeply and walked towards Mu Yan.

Looking at her back, Su Jishan decided to stay away from her in the future.

He was thrown to the ground again, and his body had become bruised and bruised, but the county captain still did not give up.

She had been in the army for twenty years and practiced martial arts for twenty years, but she was not as good as this fledgling girl, and she couldn't help but feel a little unwilling.

Every time I dream back at midnight, I always dream that I also have such outstanding kung fu.

Seeing that the county captain's fighting spirit had not subsided, Meng Da'an came to join in the fun again.

Mu Yan quickly stopped him, "I have something to do today, so let's stop the martial arts competition for now."

Hearing that something was going on, the two of them had no choice but to rest their minds if they wanted to fight again.

"Recently, people from Xining disguised themselves as people from Dongning and came to the city to investigate. You should pay more attention."

"According to this trend, there will be a war between the two countries. The task of protecting the evacuation of the people will be left to you, Meng Daan."

Su Jishan wondered how it was possible for the two countries to fight on the spot, and whether the adults were overthinking it.

Not only did she think so, but the rest of the people also thought so.

"Sir, are people from Xining really going to fight?"

The county captain asked everyone's doubts.

"They will definitely fight."

Seeing that several people were still puzzled, Mu Yan continued to explain, "In the past six months, they have not taken action, but they were afraid of the King of Donglong County.

Now that they have determined that the prince will not come to Longcheng again and will rest for three years, they will naturally not let this opportunity pass by. "

There was one thing Mu Yan didn't say. She always felt that someone in the city was secretly in contact with the people from Xining.

To put it bluntly, Longcheng has survived in the past three years under the protection of Donglong County Prince.

It's just that three years is too long for them, and perhaps they have forgotten everything that the King of Donglong County has done.

After hearing this, a few people suddenly became enlightened. They had been comfortable for too long, and they had forgotten that the people of Xining were warlike, and it was normal for them to fight.

Meng Daan gave an unequivocal guarantee, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely protect the people."

Mu Yan looked at Su Jishan and said, "The person you are watching has come and gone."

When it came to business, Su Jishan immediately corrected his attitude, "I have an idea, and I will give you a clear answer tomorrow." Even she couldn't figure out why someone would do such obscene things, even if they don't care about the bottom line.

"Lieutenant, how many soldiers are there now?"

The key to a war is people and food, both of which are indispensable.

Mu Yan thought to himself, it seems that he still has to go back to Changliu Village.

It has been more than half a year since I went back, and I don’t know what her small courtyard has become.

The county captain hesitated, "There are only more than [-] people left."

Although Longcheng is a border, it is not an important place for war.

As the king of Donglong County returned to Fucheng, the queen also ordered the soldiers to withdraw to Mengcheng.

That's the place closest to Xining. It's been invaded by enemies all the year round and has constant wars and disputes.

With only [-] people, Longcheng is neither too big nor too small. Although it only has one county, the terrain is vast and the people's residences are widely distributed. If the Xining Kingdom really attacks, it will be difficult to prevent it.

Moreover, out of these ten thousand people, there are only a few thousand who are old and weak.

"County Lieutenant, we are recruiting troops in the city immediately. The conditions for recruitment are: only children will not be recruited, only brothers in the family will not be recruited, and people with physical disabilities will not be recruited. Remember, it must be voluntary and cannot be forced. Each applicant will be given five taels of silver."

The county captain was surprised, "Sir, is five taels too much?"

Five taels is enough for an ordinary family to live for half a year. In the past, military conscription was compulsory, and there was no money at all.

Mu Yan's voice was calm, but his eyes were unspeakably complicated, "How can five taels of silver be exchanged for one life?"

To be precise, five taels of silver is not worth that life.

It is a pity that people in this era do not have such a concept. Perhaps in their concept, human life is not valuable.

The county captain was extremely excited. Queen Chongwen of Dongning Kingdom ignored many military commanders, which also made it difficult for the military commanders to survive.

This was the first time she met someone who had soldiers at heart.

"Sir, silver..."

Although she was moved, she was still concerned about the source of the money. As far as she knew, the county magistrate was also a poor man.

"Don't worry about the money. The former county governor has a lot of stolen goods."

At this moment, Mu Yan suddenly felt lucky that Inspector Shi had kept the money.

After hearing this, the county governor was no longer worried. Although she had not met the former county governor a few times, she also knew that she was very rich.

After serving as an official for more than ten years, I don't know how much people's wealth and wealth have been plundered. This time, her stolen goods were used on soldiers, which can be considered as a useful thing for her.

On the outskirts of Fucheng, a man in luxurious purple clothes sat at the desk, elegantly reading the secret reports submitted by his subordinates.

Her face is as elegant as moonlight, and her behavior reveals an innate nobility.

However, suddenly, her eyebrows were furrowed and her face was as gloomy as iron.

She angrily threw everything on the desk to the ground and asked coldly: "Tell me, why haven't you killed her yet?"

The man in black kneeling on the ground was trembling all over, not daring to raise his head to look directly into his master's cold eyes.

"That person was so skilled in martial arts that even the medicine man couldn't stand her. All numbers from eighty to one hundred died in her hands. Please be merciful to me, master. My subordinates will definitely be looking for other ways."

The woman's expression gradually became cruel, and her gaze was as sharp as a sword, as if she wanted to pierce the man in black.

"I'm giving you a chance. If you can't do it this time, come and see me."

Interesting, really interesting, this was the first time she encountered someone who couldn't be killed no matter how hard she tried.

If such a person could be captured and trained as a medicine slave, he would definitely become a high-quality product.

She felt pity for such a person, she would not let her live in this world, only death would be what she wanted.
