Chapter 50 Fleet
Qingmu mentioned the nightmare thing during the day.
Chen Tang didn't take it to heart.
After all, everyone has had nightmares, just forget about them.
Just after the New Year, news of the state government's military recruitment came from Changze County, and the county government officials were asked to go to each house to register. After the Lantern Festival, they were collectively sent to Pingzhou City for service training.
Pingzhou City is the center of Pingzhou, the state capital of Qian State.
The Qian Kingdom recruits troops every year, but the intensity this time is unprecedented.
For qualified warriors, Qianguo also has a recruitment system.
The recruitment system is not compulsory. As long as the ninth-grade warrior is willing to join the army, he will be given corresponding rewards.
Moreover, if a qualified warrior is in the army, he can become a small leader such as a corps commander.
Naturally, Chen Tang was also included in the call-up, but fortunately Meng Liangyu helped delay it.
However, according to Meng Liangyu, the scope of this conscription covers the entire thirteen counties of Pingzhou, including more than a hundred counties under its jurisdiction.
Even if he arrived in Wu'an County, he would not be able to escape the call.
Unless the product is successfully ordered in Wu'an County, you will have the right to choose.
Chen Tang is not interested in joining the army.
He has not avenged his great revenge. Once he joins the army, he will lose his freedom and be inconvenienced.
Moreover, he has an unruly temperament and is used to being at ease. Not to mention enlisting in the army, even court affairs are annoying to him.
What's more, now I have a small family to take care of.
However, the fat old man smelled something unusual in this matter.
There are still five days until the Lantern Festival.
Chen Tang and others decided to leave on this day and head to Wu'an County.
Rented a carriage at a car dealership.
He had never driven a carriage before, so out of curiosity, he asked the coachman a few words and quickly learned the lesson.
Because of this, he was unanimously elected as the coachman by the three fat old men.
Chen Tang originally thought that he could get two votes.
But looking at Zhiwei who was a little confused and hesitant, but finally raised his little hand, he couldn't help but sigh: "Zhiwei, you have learned so badly..."
"Brother Ah Tang, I'm sorry."
Zhiwei said quickly: "Teach me, and I will take your place when you get tired."
Qingmu pulled Zhiwei over and said with a smile: "Don't look at him like this, he would really be reluctant to let you drive."
"Let's go!"
The three fat old men were sitting in the car, eating dried fruit snacks. Chen Tang drove the carriage and stopped at the official road in Changze County, preparing to go to Wu'an County with the carriage from the Meihua Martial Arts School as agreed.
Not long after, the carriage from Meihua Martial Arts School arrived.
To be precise, it was not a carriage, but a convoy.
There are only three cars belonging to the Meihua Martial Arts School, and the remaining twenty-odd cars are from wealthy families in Changze County.
The children of these families usually practice martial arts at Meihua Martial Arts School.
In fact, among these young people, only a few have the chance to enter the ranks, while the others just go to Wu'an County to gain experience and have fun during the Lantern Festival.
The parents and family members of these teenagers took this opportunity to accompany them.
Gou Dai, the young leader of the Wolf Gang, was also on this trip.
He was originally practicing well, but he was injured a month ago and has been recuperating. Now that the injury has not healed, he may not be able to exert his full strength by then.
Even so, Gou Ying still arranged for him to come over and give it a try.
He did not bring many followers this time, only ten people.
After all, he was going with the Meihua Martial Arts School, and was personally escorted by the owner of the school, Mei Nianzhi, so there was no problem with safety.
Moreover, the Wolf Gang is about to negotiate with the Blackwater Gang, which is when they are short of people.
At the front of the Meihua Martial Arts Team was an elegant middle-aged man riding a tall horse, with a sheathed sword tied around his waist. He was the owner of the academy, Mei Nianzhi.
Mei Nianzhi nodded slightly when he saw Chen Tang driving a carriage.
It seemed that Mei Yingxue had already made arrangements for him in advance. Meihua Martial Arts School attaches great importance to this trip, and there are dozens of guards in the martial arts school. Counting the followers of other families, there are about a hundred people in total.
Mei Yingxue also stepped out of a carriage, first greeted Qingmu and Zhiwei in the car, and then said to Chen Tang: "Just follow the back of the carriage, don't fall behind."

At this moment, Gou Dai from the Evil Wolf Gang looked over and his expression changed obviously after seeing Chen Tang.
Mei Yingxue noticed this scene and whispered: "Don't worry, as long as my father is here, they will not dare to cause trouble."
Chen Tang smiled and said nothing.
The convoy set off, with Mei Nianzhi and many guards walking at the front.
Although this place is called an official road, it is no better than in the previous life and the road condition is not good.
Moreover, there were more than twenty carriages traveling together, and the speed was not very fast, not much faster than walking.
At night, the carriages, horses and people all have to rest. According to this itinerary, it will take almost three days to walk more than 200 miles.
During lunch and dinner, all the families in the Plum Blossom Martial Arts School gathered around the bonfire, drinking and chatting.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Chen Tang didn't join in the fun.
Those people were all from wealthy families in Changze County, and everyone had their eyes set on the top. In the past, he was just asking for trouble.
The first day passed by calmly and peacefully.
At lunch time the next day, the convoy stopped on the side of the road to rest.
Chen Tang got out of the car and walked towards the forest not far away, intending to collect some dry firewood and make a fire to boil some water and heat some cooked meat.
other side.
Two bonfires have been lit.
Many adults sat in a group, headed by Mei Nianzhi.
"Why are you following Chen Tang over there?"
"Maybe he also went to Wu'an County to order the order. After all, he is the famous Fuhu Shaoxia from Changze County!"
"Haha, what you said is really possible."
"As far as I know, Chen Tang is already a disabled person. It would be good if he could drive a carriage."
There was some harshness in everyone's words.
Mei Nianzhi said: "This kid is quite pitiful. Since he wants to go to Wu'an County, it's okay to take him with him."
A man with a fat head said: "The owner of the Plum Pavilion still has a kind heart, but if you ask me, there must be something hateful about the poor people."
“Not bad!”
Another gorgeous woman was full of disdain and said: "He deserves to be pitied because he does not know his own abilities and is nosy. Who are the Blackwater Gang? Even the government officials dare not mess with him. He is just a country boy." If you haven’t seen the world, you are looking for death.”
"It's not easy to say things like this."
Mei Nianzhi frowned slightly, said something, then changed the topic and talked elsewhere.
On the other side, a group of boys and girls were laughing and playing around a bonfire.
"Brother Gou, Chen Tang went into the grove alone."
A young man leaned over and whispered: "Why don't we go over and give him some advice? The last time you were injured, it was all because of him!"
Gou Dai stared at Chen Tang, who had just entered the woods, with a gloomy expression.
He has never forgotten what happened a month ago.
But at home, he didn't dare to do anything because of his father.
Now I have no worries about leaving Changze County!
The only thing that is difficult to deal with is Mei Nianzhi's father and daughter.
Especially Mei Yingxue, it was impossible to let them deal with Chen Tang.
"If I had known better, I would have brought out the thugs and bullies and let them bite me again."
Gou Dai thought to himself.
Gou Dai muttered: "We have to find a reason, don't be too direct."
A young man thought about it for a moment, rolled his eyes, looked at Zhiwei not far away, looked happy, and whispered: "Brother Gou, we have it!"
