"If that's the case, I'm afraid the two of us will be powerless. Why don't you report to the officials to see if you can seek their help."

To report to the official, I'm afraid that Li Huiyi thinks that his life is long, or wants to give the county magistrate a great service.

Li Huiyi expressed a little worry and said: "The next family business is in Yizhou, and the general and the prime minister are hostile. I'm afraid I won't get help if I go there, and I will get into trouble instead."

The old man Zhu frowned, and said in embarrassment: "Then there is no other way, the nobleman has other plans, if the two of us can help, then we will help, if not, then let's say goodbye."

The old man Zhu is obviously disappointed with Li Huiyi, but he should be polite for acquaintance, in case there is still one of those 100% hopes.

Li Huiyi didn't answer, thinking quickly in his mind to see if there was any way to solve the current predicament.

Seeing this, the old man Zhu didn't know whether to go or stay, so he could only walk towards Xiao Wang quietly, shaking his head helplessly with his hands spread out.

Seeing this, Xiao Wang looked as expected, and taunted: "I said it earlier, you don't believe it, it's all right now, go back quickly, it will be dark soon, and my stomach is still empty."

Chapter 659

"Sigh." The old man Zhu said: "I thought it was a good thing, but I didn't expect to be happy for nothing, but if you and I leave, he is a wounded person, and I'm afraid he will be in danger."

"Hey." Xiao Wang said with contempt on his face: "I can't even eat enough, and I care about other people's life and death. I rescued him back and didn't let him die in the wild. He is already considered a good person. Do you still have to serve him?"

When the old man heard this, he didn't answer for a while, and sat down on his buttocks, looking at the front with his eyes full of tangled eyes. It stands to reason that Xiao Wang was right, but he couldn't bear it.

Xiao Wang looked into his eyes, and said with a slightly angry tone: "Will you go, or I will go if you don't."

Seeing that the old man Zhu didn't respond, Xiao Wang raised his foot and left, but just about fifty meters away, he walked back helplessly cursing, sat down next to the old man Zhu, and babbled.

Just when the atmosphere of the three of them was a little awkward, suddenly a horse galloped by and shouted loudly.

"Now the government office continues to have a group of people, and two meals a day are enough. If anyone is willing to go, the government office will gather as soon as possible..."

The horse gradually went away, the old man Zhu and Xiao Wang showed excitement, and stood up one after another.

"I wish the old man, do you want to go and see, what is it doing?"

"Definitely go. If you catch Ding, you won't want me. It's different for you. How about I go first?"

"Forget it, let's go together, let's have a meal first."

"Okay, let the nobles come together." The old man Zhu walked towards Li Huiyi without waiting for Xiao Wang's answer. "My lord, the two of us decided to go to the government office to see what kind of work it is. Do you want to go and see it together?"

There is currently no place to go, I just need to find a place to eat and recover from my injuries as soon as possible, so that I can have the strength to protect myself and leave, otherwise everything is useless.

Li Huiyi thought for a moment and said: "Okay, but it seems that this mansion needs a lot to recruit people, otherwise it wouldn't be so anxious."

"I'll pawn the clothes first, and I'll go take a look together after the three of us have had a good meal."

When Xiao Wang heard this, he quickly answered: "Okay, this is a good idea. Anyway, the nobleman can't go back for the time being, so it's better to take care of the present."

On the side, the old man wished, with a hint of reluctance on his face, but he still said: "Okay, but hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be late, and I won't be there by then."

Seeing that both of them agreed, Li Huiyi, led by Xiao Wang, went to a pawn shop and exchanged some of his clothes for some money and a set of old clothes.

Because they didn't have much money, the three of them ordered some food at a roadside stall and started to eat.

After eating, the three hurried to the government office, seeing that it was already full of people, they immediately followed suit.

With the two of them leading the way, Li Huiyi easily came to the front. He saw several yamen servants maintaining order, and a literati took a pen to record their names.

"The next one." The literati stopped writing and looked at Li Huiyi, who was at the front, and asked, "Name, where do you live?"

Li Huiyi rolled his eyes and said, "Li Wenwu, now lives in Jiluo Mountain."

The literati quickly wrote it down with a pen, and said casually: "Okay, let's go, and the ones behind will follow."

Xiao Wang, who was following behind, saw that it was his turn, he hurried forward and asked, "My lord, what are you doing here, can you reveal something?"

The literati said with a slight displeasure on his face, "What do you ask? If you want to eat, report your name, and if you don't want to go back, there are still people waiting behind."

Seeing that there was nothing to ask, Xiao Wang hurriedly reported his name. He didn't want to go back and starve alone.

All three of them entered smoothly, and stood together with the registrants. Xiao Wang, who was more flexible, naturally asked questions to the people beside him.

After repeated inquiries, Xiao Wang finally came up with some useful information. This time, the government recruited manpower on a large scale, saying that it was collecting medicine and transporting it to Guandu to treat the wounded soldiers.

Li Huiyi was overjoyed when he heard the news, it was really hard to find, and it didn't take much effort to get it.

As long as you follow these people, when you arrive at Guandu, it will be much easier to go back.

Some people were happy and some were sad. Xiao Wang heard that he was going to Guandu, and his face was ugly. He went to the front line. If he was sent to the battlefield, his life might be lost, but he has no way out now.

Several hours passed, and the recruitment finally stopped. More than half of the people were retained, and only a few who were too old were excluded.

Li Huiyi visually checked the number of people and found that there were at least nearly a thousand people. That is to say, the matter of collecting herbs was very urgent, otherwise so many people would not have been recruited.

The literati sorted out the roster and didn't take much rest, so they let the government servants lead these people to the residence that had been prepared long ago. It would be more realistic to say that it is a residence, or an empty barracks.

The literati seem to be in charge, and all the accommodation regulations are handled by him. After the rules are announced, they are called by the roster, and every group of ten people lives in a tent.

Not surprisingly, the three of Li Huiyi were naturally divided into a group. After the grouping was completed, the literati finally reminded: "You all know the rules. If someone commits a crime, the serious one will die and the light one will be punished."

The so-called rules are those that are not allowed to fight, not to be lazy, etc., but one of them is a bit special, that is, you can't ask questions.

After the literati finished speaking, he went on to say: "Here, every day at dawn, someone will bring food. After eating, someone will lead you and teach you how to do it. Remember to put your ears on. Everyone has a fixed amount. Can't eat."

"How can this be? Didn't you say that you can manage your fill?"

"Yeah, why are there so many rules when you come here, and you won't be allowed to eat at all times."

……

As soon as the literati's words fell, complaints erupted in twos and threes from the crowd, obviously dissatisfied.

Seeing this, the literati showed a sneer on his face, and said slowly: "If you don't want to, you can leave, but the ones who go out now can only be the dead."

Hearing the threatening words, those complainers shut up quickly in fright, and no one spoke again. After all, people don't fight with officials, and lives matter.

Seeing that no one objected, the literati turned around and left when they had a big talk, regardless of whether they understood or not, anyway, they will understand if they take a stand at that time.

Li Huiyi and others, led by the yamen servants, came to a tent, and saw that there were simply ten beds inside, and each place was covered with weeds and a dirty quilt.

"This is where you live, choose it yourself." The yamen servant turned around and left after saying a word. Among the ten people, except Li Huiyi, the rest quickly rushed to the bed that they had already set their sights on.

Xiao Wang and the old man Zhu are very polite about this, occupying three positions, one on the left and one on the right. "Come on, my lord."

Li Huiyi walked over unhurriedly and said, "It's all the same, why bother to grab it, there are good and bad."

The old man Zhu smiled and shook his head and replied: "Your honor, I don't understand. These three positions are on the innermost side, and the cold wind at night is not easy to reach."
