After saying that, Gu Qiao himself was so scared that his face turned pale.

You know, being a soldier in ancient times was not as good as being a modern one.

This is still the era of cold weapons. The weapons level is low, and soldiers fight in hand-to-hand combat.

Moreover, the Daxi Dynasty is now suffering from external troubles, and there may be wars later. In addition, communication is inconvenient, if a person dies on the battlefield, his family may not know about it.

The war lasted for three months, and the letter from home was worth ten thousand gold.

This is no joke.

Gu Shi obviously thought of this and his expression suddenly became tense.

"No, my elder brother and sister-in-law have only this one child. Ruo Xiaoling really went to join the army. I... No, I want to go and inquire clearly!"

After saying that, Gu Shi hurried out.

"Nephew, where are you going?" Mrs. Gu asked quickly, but Gu had already left the door.

Mei Zhiyong quickly said, "I guess Uncle Shi must have gone to the examination room. Isn't it recruiting soldiers there? He must have asked!"

"I'll go and have a look." Mrs. Gu hurriedly preached.

"I'll go too!" Gu Qiao and Mei Zhiyong spoke in unison.

These two people are Gu Ling's friends and are also very worried.

Mrs. Gu looked at them, glanced at Mei again, and simply said, "In this way, Mei Gu, you and Xiaowan are waiting for us in the inn, just go three of us."

It is useless for so many people to follow, not to mention that Mei and Shen Wan have been unable to bear it for a long time after leaving for a whole morning, and they did not show off and chose to stay where they were.

Mrs. Gu immediately took Gu Qiao and the others to pursue Gu Shi in the direction of the examination room.

On the way, Mei Zhiyong couldn't help but ask Gu Qiao: "Cousin, Gu Ling really went to the army? Aren't he afraid of death?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and said, "He really dares to think and do it."

"Okay, don't make trouble?" Gu Qiao was very upset.

"I am your cousin, why do you scold me as if you scold your cousin? Can you respect me?" Mei Zhiyong protested.

Gu Qiao glanced at him sideways.

Her body is indeed young, but her soul is over twenty, so she really didn't notice this problem much.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mei Zhiyong knew that she was anxious, so he curled his lips and stopped talking.

The three of them walked forward quickly and soon arrived near the examination room. From a distance, they saw Gu Shi being pushed away by the yamen runners at the entrance of the examination room.

"Go away quickly, the examination room is heavy, and there is no noise!" The yamen runner lowered his voice and warned.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Gu hurried forward and asked.

She looked around and saw that there was no one there in the recruitment two days ago, and the tables were moved away, leaving only an open space.

Now this open space has been surrounded by yamen runners. These yamen runners are guarding around at a certain distance, which is clearly maintaining the discipline of the examination room.

"Why are people coming again? Let's go quickly, leave quickly!" The yamen runners were driving people again.

Only then did Gu Zhen walk aside with Gu Pozi and the others.

"How is it? What are you asking? I saw that there is no one left." Mrs. Gu hurriedly preached.

Gu Shi shook his head, "I just asked the yamen runners and said that recruitment ended yesterday. The recruits gathered at Shili Pavilion outside the city last night. The army set out early this morning to leave Suizhou City."

"What? Are you leaving?" Mei Zhiyong was shocked.

Gu Qiao asked quickly: "Can you find the list of recruits?"

"I was about to ask, but the yamen runner just said he didn't know, so he rushed me out." Gu Shi was a little discouraged.

Mei Zhiyong said, "The ones who come to recruit soldiers in Ruling City are veterans. I have chatted with a soldier in the city. They seem to be going to the northwest this time. Let's go to the west gate, maybe we can catch up with you?"

"What are you chasing? You have to make sure if the person is inside? Otherwise, you will be chasing him in vain." Gu Qiao frowned.

Mei Zhiyong said, "The list of recruits is naturally taken by veterans. If you don't chase them, where will you look at the list?"

Neither of them knew what was going on in the military camp of the Daxi Dynasty and what was going on in the recruitment of the military, so they all depended on their own guesses.

But this reminded Mrs. Gu. She immediately looked at Gu Shi and said, "Nephew, do you still remember the Kong Da who saved your family."

"Remember, what's wrong?" Gu Shi was puzzled.

Mrs. Gu said directly: "He is the famous General Kong Wei."

"What?"

"You might be able to find him for this matter! He lives in the prefect's mansion now, maybe we can ask him for help." Mrs. Gu suggested.

"Yes, yes!" Gu Qiao nodded quickly.

Mei Zhiyong couldn't help but pour cold water on her, "The army is gone, can the general still be in the city?"

"Don't talk!" Gu Qiao glanced at him.

Mei Zhiyong immediately pursed his lips, but stared at her with his eyes open.

"I don't care, I have to try it." Mrs. Gu preached.

Gu Zhen immediately turned around and asked where the prefect's house was. The yamen runner thought he was going to block the prefect, so he didn't want to tell him, so he bombed him out again.

"Nephew, let's go to the street to ask, there are always people who know the shopkeepers, let's go." Mrs. Gu made a quick decision.

Several people went to the street again and found out that they were on the way.

But after rushing to the prefect's house, the closed door of the mansion stopped them outside.

This is not like in the countryside, you can hear a sound with a shout.

Looking at the two stone lions at the door and thinking about the scenes of being driven away by the yamen runners several times before, Gu Shi was immediately in trouble.

"What should I do?"

But Mrs. Gu said to Mei Zhiyong: "Zhiyong, go knock on the door."

"Oh!" Mei Zhiyong was a brave man. He immediately walked up the steps, stood on tiptoe and pulled up the copper shop head on the door, and then knocked on the door.

Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, the side door next to it opened, a young servant walked out of it, and saw that it was a child, his face immediately pulled down: "You little kid, why are you knocking on the door? Go quickly!"

Mrs. Gu hurriedly walked forward, took out the wooden sign in her arms, handed it out, and said, "This guy, we are here to find General Kong. Please help me pass on a message. This is a token."

The concierge had already received the order. When he saw this token, he remembered the orders from the previous two days. He was immediately polite and said, "Old man, please wait a moment, I will report it to you now."

As he said that, the servant closed the side door again.

Gu Shi was a little surprised when he saw this scene and couldn't help looking at Mrs. Gu.

Thinking that the elders of the clan also saved Kong Wei's life, Mrs. Gu did not hide it. She immediately told her the story of meeting Kong Wei on the street two days ago. Kong Wei gave her the token.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shi was in a state of great emotion and immediately bowed to Mrs. Gu, saying, "Auntie has now used such a precious token for my family. My aunt's kindness is as heavy as a mountain. My family of Gu Shi will definitely remember it in my heart!"

"The most important thing is to find someone, and Xiao Ling is also the child we watch as we grow up." Mrs. Gu didn't care.

In her opinion, her family may never use this token, and this token is just right here, perhaps this is the law of fate.

What's more, if she had a way to ask for help but had hidden this method, which delayed the search for someone, she would probably not be at ease in her life.

Seeing that she really didn't care, Gu Shi couldn't help but admire and be grateful to her. He only secretly remembered this kindness in his heart and thought about going back to explain it to his grandfather.
