Hu You didn't expect Sumadar to mention this, and he was a little overwhelmed: "Go to school? General, I don't understand what you mean... com"

Sumadal took a sip of tea and said, "Well, that's it. More than a hundred years ago, our Tianfeng Continent had jointly funded by various countries to establish an academy aimed at cultivating military talents - Columbia Military Academy.

I want you to go to this Columbia Military Academy for a few years.”

Hu You said in confusion: "I seem to have only heard of the Royal Cavalry Academy."

Sumadal explained: "The Royal Cavalry Academy is a military academy established by our Mandala Empire itself, and only recruits students from our Mandala Empire. This Colombian Military Academy was jointly founded by various countries and is aimed at the entire Tianfeng Continent. The school site is not within the territory of the Mandala Empire, but in Tiande. It does not belong to the territory of any country."

Hu You pondered: "What the general means is to ask me to go to Columbia Military Academy and then return to the army to serve after graduation?"

"Yes, but you can also choose not to go. With the contribution you made this time, I should have promoted you to Dian Jun. Now you have two choices. One is to be promoted to Dian Jun and continue to stay in the army. The other is to not be promoted, and I will be recommended to the Blizzard Legion and enter the Columbia Military Academy to study. The tuition fee is paid by the Legion and the living expenses are borne by yourself. You can go back and think about it before making a decision."

Hu You said without hesitation: "No, don't think about it, I chose to go to Columbia Military Academy." This is a good thing that I don't have to think about, and if you have to hesitate, that's a fool.

Yes, if you choose the former, Hu You can immediately be promoted to the next level and become the captain of a hundred subordinates. This is already a very good position for civilian militias without any background. Many people may not be able to sit in the position of Dian Jun as soldiers for their whole lives.

But this choice is definitely a short-sighted act. Could it be that Sumadal asked Hu You to come back to the Colombian Military Academy just to save a place in the Dianjun? That is definitely not. If he didn't want to reuse Hu You, he wouldn't have let Hu You go to the Colombian Military Academy. Compared to this, what is a small Dianjun?

Hu You didn't know at this time, and the same choice was placed in front of Qin Ming a day later. As for what Qin Ming chose, you can only see Hu You's own way. Everyone has their own ideas. When they stand at the intersection of life, only they know which path they have to take.

There was no farewell, no crowd, and when Hu You set out on the road, not many people even knew where he would go. When Hu You wanted to say goodbye to Zhu Daneng, Hongye and the others, they knew that everyone, including Link, had been transferred to leave three days ago. As for where he went, there was no way to know with Hu You's authority.

Painting the identity certificate given by Sumadal, holding the old horse in the army, Hu You was honest and alone, and everything seemed to be different from when he came.

Tiande is on the southwest corner of Tianfeng Continent. If Hu You wants to go there, he has two choices. One is to go directly to Qingzhou, pass Anrong, then turn to Chihe Empire, then pass through Sebai Empire, and finally pass through two small countries, Baode, Xijing, and to Tiande.

But the road is quite far away, not to mention the extremely harsh climate, Chihe and Sebai are still fighting, and the danger and difficulty are very high. Hu You abandoned it without even thinking about it.

As for the other road, it is the road that Hu You is taking now. Just like the gift-giving team walked at that time, he went south when he arrived at the imperial capital, went out through Youzhou or Jiangnan Prefecture, and then crossed the entire Ningnan Empire, which was almost the same.

There are many benefits to walking like this, the climate is mild and the road is relatively familiar. These are nothing. The most important thing is that Hu You can pass through Jiangnan Prefecture. No matter how he says he is, he is a native of Jiangnan Prefecture and knows nothing about Jiangnan Prefecture, which is too unreasonable.

Hu You is already familiar with the road from Qingzhou to the imperial capital. There are not many stories along the way. However, Hu You found that there seemed to be more refugees along the way than when they passed by last time.

This time, Hu You did not enter the imperial capital Longcheng, but instead turned around in Tangsha, bypassed the imperial capital, and took a small boat from the river to Jiangnan Prefecture through Pangu. Hu You's destination was Liujiang, which is his hometown in his identity certificate.

"Jiangnan Prefecture has always been famous for its grain and sugar production. It has no snow all year round. It is like spring all year round. It has two grains, good water, abundant fish, and abundant people." This is the introduction Hu You saw in the story book of Taishi Gong, and it is also Hu You's first impression of Jiangnan Prefecture.

However, as soon as Hu You arrived in Jiangyun, he found that the reality was completely different from what was recorded in the book. Hu You found that the people here had a good face and did not look like they were very rich in life.

As he moved forward, Hu You soon discovered another phenomenon. There were very few men here, and most of them were not adults, or elderly people over 50 years old, or people with incomplete limbs and long-term illness. In short, there were no major men on the street, and there were more women and children on the road. This made Hu You feel a little strange. There is no war now, so why is this happening?

There was a tavern on the side of the road. After walking for a long time, Hu You felt a little tired, so he decided to go in and have some tea, eat something, and ask for information.

The waiter saw Hu You coming over and hurried forward to ask for help.

"The guest official is here, please come and there is a seat inside."

The one who greeted Hu You was a woman who looked like a normal person. Hu You said that even the waiter was a woman, which was really rare.

Hu You asked, "Girl, there is fodder here, I want to feed the horses."

The female waiter took Hu You's horse and said, "No problem, I'll be satisfied with you. Please come in?"

"Um!"

Hu You walked towards the tavern. After the waiter handed the horse to the others, he hurriedly followed in.

There were not many people in the tavern, most of them were traveling merchants. Hu You chose the seat next to the window and sat down.

The waiter first poured Hu You a cup of tea, and then asked: "What do you want to eat and drink?"

"Give me a pot of wine, some beef and peanuts, and then serve two dishes at will, a small pot of rice."

"Okay, please sit down for a while, and the meal will be done soon."

After the waiter finished speaking, he went on happily. This was the biggest business she had done today.

There were not many guests in the tavern, and before long, Hu You wanted anything like that.

"Customer, you have all your stuff."

Hu You called out to the waiter who was about to leave: "Waiter, how about having a drink with me? I want to ask you something."

"this......"

The waiter was a little hesitant. Because he was a daughter, there were customers in Jingtang who wanted to eat tofu and would make such a request.

"Miss, don't get me wrong. I just want to find out something, nothing else."

Hu You said, stuffing several copper plates into the female waiter.

When the waiter saw the money, he thought about it, gritted his teeth and turned his hand, and put away the copper plate: "Okay. I don't know what the guest officer wants to know. As long as I know, I will tell you the truth."

Hu You took a sip of wine and asked, "I see that there are quite a few men on this street, I don't know why?"

"I think the guest official is a foreigner!"

Hu You nodded, without saying a word, waiting for the waiter's next sentence.

The female waiter continued: "We have more craftsmen in Jiangnan Prefecture. New Year's ago, Emperor Valencia wanted to build the imperial tomb..."

The waiter took Hu You's copper plate and said it in detail. Hu You then realized that the old guy Valencia had just sat on the throne and had just transferred hundreds of thousands of civilians in Jiangnan Prefecture to build his own imperial tomb, which caused a large amount of labor in Jiangnan Prefecture, which caused the current situation.

Leaving Jiangyun, Hu You headed all the way to the hinterland of Jiangnan Prefecture, but when he arrived at Xiuluo, he did not move forward. Because the Liujiang he was going to had been sealed up by the official army. After inquiring, he found out that Liujiang was in a plague and had already been empty.

Hu You is quite clear about what he is trying to ignore in this way. With the current medical level, there are not many ways to deal with plagues. In order to prevent large-scale outbreaks, areas where plagues are found are generally isolated. In the absence of water, no food or foreign aid, whether the people inside can survive depends on the will of God.

Now that I have entered, there is no more meaning, so Hu You had to turn around, turn to Daozhou elephant, leave Jiangnan Prefecture, and enter the Ningnan Empire.
