Chapter 1630 Going to See the Recruitment

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight quietly climbed up the windowsill and gently caressed Ye Zifen's cheek through the narrow gap in the curtains, she slowly opened her eyes.

However, at this moment she felt confused and had no idea when she fell asleep.

My head is still dizzy, as if I am still immersed in the chaos of last night.

She raised her hand and gently rubbed her sleepy eyes, trying to drive away the remaining tiredness and wake herself up from her daze as soon as possible.

Her eyes casually swept around her, and when she saw her own proper sleeping posture, Ye Zifen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, after a night, I didn't run into Zhang Gaoyi next to me.

You know, Zhang Gaoyi is still injured!

Just as Ye Zifen was filled with worry, a familiar and deep voice, as if coming from the depths of a valley, suddenly rang in her ears: "Don't worry, you didn't touch me."

The voice was like a ray of warm sunshine that penetrated through layers of haze and reached Ye Zifen's uneasy heart.

Ye Zifen turned her head suddenly, and her eyes happened to meet Zhang Gaoyi's face with a faint smile on it.

His smile was as warm as the spring breeze, instantly dispelling some of the sadness in Ye Zifen's heart.

"You're awake too?" Zhang Gaoyi nodded slightly to show his affirmation.

Then he asked softly, "Are you going out again today?"

Ye Zifen bit her lip lightly, thought for a moment and then answered, "It hasn't been fully arranged yet. I still have to go to Fu Ke Lai today. I will try my best to arrange everything properly so that I can go home earlier to accompany you."

After saying that, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

Zhang Gaoyi's eyes were full of pity, and he said slowly, "Don't worry, just do the things that make you happy. Seeing you imprisoned at home every day, with a sad and unhappy look, my heart aches. Now, taking advantage of this matter, you might as well go out for a few more days, it would be great to relax."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head, saying, "If I really act this way, I'm afraid some people will be unable to hold back. So after I have arranged everything, I'll just stay in this princess's mansion as I did in the past."

After saying this, she sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in her eyes.

She was homesick.

After two long and intense days, Ye Zifen worked tirelessly to travel between Princess Fuxia's Mansion and Fukelai, and finally succeeded in carefully arranging the caravan's base on the map and in those dangerous places on the border.

Of course, it is easy for her to make plans, but it is more troublesome to implement them, and there are many difficulties.

In addition, there is no doubt that this move will require a lot of financial and material resources, which can be regarded as a huge expense.

What is even more frustrating is that it is almost impossible to see significant results from such a large-scale layout in the short term.

However, facing the desperate situation that may arise in the future, Ye Zifen has no choice. The fear in her heart drives her to prepare for the rainy day. Even if it requires paying a heavy price for this, she will not hesitate.

Time passed quickly like a white horse passing by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

During this period of time, Zhang Gaoyi's originally frail body slowly recovered, his health condition was gradually improving, and now he could even barely support himself to get out of bed and walk a few steps.

At this moment, the Tiger Army was also not idle.

They are carrying out a large-scale recruitment campaign in full swing.

However, Zhang Gaoyi always had some doubts and concerns about this conscription. He always felt that something was not right, but he could not tell what it was.

This uneasy feeling made him restless all day, and he finally made up his mind to go to the recruitment site in person to inspect it to make sure there were no problems with the whole process.

After learning about Zhang Gaoyi's idea, Ye Zifen expressed her willingness to accompany him without hesitation.

In this way, the two of them set out on the journey to the recruitment site on the outskirts of the capital.

After a journey that was neither long nor short, they finally arrived at their destination.

As soon as I got closer to there, what came into view was an extremely lively scene - I saw that the empty land was crowded with dense crowds of people, it was simply a sea of ​​people, shoulder to shoulder!

The noise of people rose and fell, as if to overturn the sky.

Such a surging flow of people is like a tide, surging forward continuously without stopping for a moment.

Seeing this scene, Ye Zifen couldn't help but think to herself, "How could there be so many young people of marriageable age emerging from the official families in the capital all of a sudden? I'm afraid that most of them have found substitutes to apply for the job on behalf of their own children."

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shook her head slightly.

Zhang Gaoyi on the side stood steadily in place, his bright eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring closely at every applicant who came to sign up.

His eyes scanned the figures of these people up and down, not missing any trace of suspicion.

From time to time, he would walk up and whisper a few words to the officer in charge of the recruitment, asking in detail some important details about the applicants' identity background and other aspects.

Ye Zifen stood silently by the side, always paying attention to the movements around her and listening to the conversation between Zhang Gaoyi and his deputy generals.

After Zhang Gaoyi and his lieutenants paused in their conversation, Ye Zifen, who had been standing quietly by the side, took a few steps forward.

He came to Zhang Gaoyi and said softly, "Look, it's just as we expected! As the saying goes, 'You have a plan, but he has a wall.'"

Zhang Gaoyi nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Ye Zifen. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Then he slowly said, "Yes, the emperor has been on the throne for many years. For a long time in the past, the country has been in a relatively stable and peaceful state. Only in recent years has there been frequent wars and conflicts. As a result, the real sufferers are always the common people, and the children of officials have no chance to endure hardships. Therefore, finding someone to impersonate and join the army is within our expectations."

Having said this, Zhang Gaoyi paused for a moment, and his already solemn expression became even more serious.

He then continued, "Look at those officials' children. They live a life of luxury and comfort all day long, and they know nothing about the hardships of ordinary people."
