At this time, Wei Luo already knew that in the minds of many poor people, becoming a diva is very beneficial. Not only can they appear in the mansions of the nobles in fine clothes, but the lucky ones even become queens and concubines, and young people may become concubines. Junhou Xingchen became a powerful person in one leap.

Therefore, as soon as the children of the poor heard that there was someone important in the Mei family's team, they would come all the way to wash the children vigorously, so that the nobles would catch their eyes and take their children away.

Therefore, there was no crying in the long, invisible line, but only anticipation and longing.

Different from the later generations, many of the wives of princes and princes in this era are really made of little singers.Some aspects of a woman's background are valued, but some lords are not worth mentioning.

Although the poor hope that their children can become singers, some young men and women from good families are absolutely unwilling to join this kind of team and make their debut in this way.However, because the poor have not had enough nutrition since they were young, their clothes are not enough, and their parents are not good enough, so their children are not of high standard.And those who have a handsome face and no obvious problems on their bodies are even more rare.

In this case the poor provide not enough boys and girls for the required number of troops.Therefore, the team will buy some nobles who have become slaves because of defeat in the war, and the weeping boys and girls in the donkey caravan come from this.

In the hustle and bustle, the young girl's voice came from time to time, "fourth, eleventh year, virgin, there is a mole on her ankle, take it."

"Five, ten years old, boy, there is a scratch on his back, you can go and take it."

As she sang, all the boys and girls in front of her had taken off their clothes and stood in the cold wind for the sixteen girls to pass the trial.

And a hundred meters in front of Miss Sixteen, there was a group of people, Zhan Yi was also there.Those children don't have to take off their clothes. Zhan Yi and others just examine the children's facial features, and the handsome ones can pass the first test.

Which one of the children of the poor was not beaten?Therefore, it is not enough to pass the test with face to face.After the children pass Zhanyi, they come to Sixteen Girls to pass the second pass. Only after passing this second pass can they join the convoy.

And Miss Sixteen's task is to select children with very small scars, or those with scars that will fade away on their own when they grow up.

Sixteen girls watched very slowly, and when she got close, ten children would take off their clothes with the help of their parents.

This is the twelfth lunar month of winter!

As soon as these children's clothes were removed, their skinny bodies shrank into a ball in the cold wind.But at this time, neither their parents nor everyone in the team seemed to feel that they might get sick or die because of this.The people in the convoy turned a blind eye, and the parents of the child looked at Miss Sixteen nervously, waiting for her announcement.

After Wei Luo looked at it for a while, she felt bored, knowing that such a selection would last all day, she turned around, hid the wooden sword in her sleeve and walked towards the woods with her back to the city gate.

This forest is three or four miles away from the team. Three or four miles away, Wei Luo would have traveled two hours three months ago, but now she can walk there in less than a quarter of an hour.

When he came to the woods, he still hung the copper coins on the branch with a silk thread. After Wei Luo adjusted his breathing, he swished his sword and stabbed at the thread.

When the wooden sword stabbed out, the wind whistled.

The tip of the sword was still an inch away from the silk thread, and the silk thread felt the approach of the sword wind and began to shake violently.

Just when the sword edge pierced the silk thread, Wei Luo's hand stopped, and the wooden sword was fixed in midair.

Withdrawing the wooden sword, another sword stabbed out.

To Wei Luo, it was nothing if the wooden sword could pierce the silk thread every time, and it was nothing if the silk thread was blown by the sword wind every time the blade had not touched the silk thread.

In the past three days, she suddenly discovered that the thread had become brittle!
Just after the silk thread broke suddenly the day before yesterday, after a night of practice, the new silk thread yesterday broke again!And the hot currents that flowed between the confidantes appeared more frequently.It used to only appear once at noon, but now it also flashes between confidants at midnight.

Also, she could lift the bronze sword and wield it.Although she would feel her hands sore and her mouth swollen after dancing for less than a quarter of an hour, Wei Luo was still very happy.

The sword moves of the swordsmen are very simple, just chopping, stabbing, cutting and slashing, and most of them are straight in and out, without tricks.Their tricks are simple, and it is easy for Wei Luo to learn them.After only three months, Wei Luo felt that he had learned all their tricks.

Of course, what Wei Luo has been able to learn all this time is only their airs, those inner things that she has never been able to touch.

Wei Luo practiced this practice until night.When she was eating dinner, she heard someone say that after divination, the weather will be as sunny as spring in the past few days, so the team will stay in Cheshui City for three days, and will not start until they have selected enough people.

The moon tonight is a half crescent, and the earth is shimmering with silver light, and the glow is faint.Wei Luo practiced until almost midnight before walking towards his carriage drenched in sweat.

The convoy outside the city gate seemed unusually quiet. The Mei family and other high-ranking people had already lived in the city, and the only people left outside the city were the donkey-riding swordsmen and handymen of low status.

Under the moonlight, Wei Luo picked up a copper pot from the utility room, filled a pot of water from the river 500 meters behind Cheshui City, and walked lightly into his carriage.

After getting ready, she stretched out her head and looked around, seeing the torches in the convoy flickering, the voices of people were low, and there was no one walking on the official road, so she shrank back, quietly untied her outer garment, and wet it with sackcloth. water, starting from the arms.

It was pitch black in the carriage, only the light from the torches mixed with the white moonlight reflected in through the cracks in the curtains.A faint, tiny light shone on her half-exposed skin, making it dazzlingly white.

After gently scrubbing one arm, Wei Luo quickly put on the sleeve on this side.Then she took off the other sleeve and began to wipe.

Wei Luo concentrated on wiping, but at this moment, the sound of Sisi's footsteps reached her ears!

someone is coming!

Wei Luo's face turned pale, and she hurriedly put on the sackcloth tightly. While putting on the clothes, she secretly prayed: Don't come this way, don't come this way!
However, the sound of footsteps was coming this way!And getting closer, getting closer!
Wei Luo's sackcloth was only half packed, and the man had already stopped outside the carriage.At the same time, a shy man's voice came, "Wei Luo, son, are you asleep?"

It's Cheng Xi!
Oh my god, it would be Cheng Xi!
Wei Luo's face turned pale, and her mouth squirmed a few times. Before she could think of how to reply, Cheng Xi outside had already chuckled, "Don't pretend, you could still hear noises and water just now. Could it be that you are here?" Undress and take a bath?" Wei Luo could almost hear the sound of his Adam's apple rolling when he uttered the last four words.
