Chapter 50: One in a Thousand Horses

The other party didn't appreciate Jiang Chen's kindness.

After struggling and resisting for a while, Jiang Chen still forcibly grabbed the ankle of the stubborn young lady, took a bottle of potion he brought with him, and applied it on it roughly.

"This is the medicinal wine I brewed myself. It has a miraculous effect on injuries caused by bruises. If you go back and recuperate, you will be almost healed in three days."

Jiang Chen didn't care whether others listened carefully or not. After giving his instructions once, he was ready to get up and leave.

"Hey! Where are you going now?"

"It's okay here. I'll go and do my own business naturally. Do you have anything else to say?"

Miss Qianjin hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't think that I will thank you if you do this. Next time you meet me again, I will definitely teach you what etiquette means!"

"Hey! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Jiang Chen was too lazy to pay attention to her, but the amazing thing was that when he left, the very weak white horse and the newborn cub staggered up and followed him closely.

This scene looks very strange. It seems that a deeper trust relationship has been established between one person and two animals than between people.

When Jiang Chen returned to Shui Ma Yi, not long after, Luo Tiancheng also came back with the original six lost stage horses. After he heard about the white horses, he was so surprised that he was speechless.

"So the situation is probably like this. It's not convenient for me to take care of them for the time being. Is it okay to keep them at the inn?"

Jiang Chen proposed to Luo Tiancheng the idea of ​​letting Baima mother and son stay at the inn to recuperate, and he immediately received Luo Tiancheng's full support.

"Of course no problem!"

"Brother Chen, you have heard that there is a special kind of existence among the horses. They are the magical horses that are only one in a million. They can only be encountered but cannot be sought. Now I feel that this white horse and the child it gave birth to are...

Such a divine horse!"

"The neighing sound of this white horse can directly attract the horses in the station to move closer to it regardless of the cost and surrender to the group of horses headed by it. This is a very good proof!"

Luo Tiancheng said very excitedly.

"Well, maybe so. I'll leave the horse matter to you. Next, we'd better hurry up and go to Ziyang."

Of course Jiang Chen knew that these two horses were by no means ordinary horses. When the white horse neighed, it could easily startle the six horses and run away, which was enough to demonstrate its outstanding status among its kind.

But this matter is not easy to make public, lest it attracts people with ulterior motives.

Under the cover of Luo Tiancheng, Jiang Chen finally successfully entered Ziyang City this time. This large city located in the hinterland of Daqiannan is like an isolated peachland.

The street market here is very lively, winding for hundreds of meters without an end, and there are all kinds of shops and stalls on both sides. Vendors from south to north exchange what they have, which promotes the prosperous trade here.

Jiang Chen said to Luo Tiancheng: "Those who don't know would think that Da Qian is singing and dancing to make peace right now! But I still remember that just a hundred meters outside the city, there are hundreds of refugees who are still starving and waiting to die!"

"Brother Chen, I feel the same as you, but I'm afraid the peaceful days here are coming to an end."

"Huh? What happened?"

Jiang Chen cast a concerned look, and Luo Tiancheng immediately told him that the city was currently recruiting troops, and many people had already been taken away.

At a time when the war in the north is tense, recruiting troops is a natural operation, but Luo Tiancheng used the word "take away", so it is worth asking more deeply.

"There is no such thing as voluntariness, but all young men of the right age will be forcibly taken away. These days, all the businesses in the city that require strong labor have predictably disappeared."

"I heard that from some families, all three sons were taken away, and they said they would be back by this time next year, but who knows what bad news will be waiting for then?"

Luo Tiancheng sighed as he spoke, while Jiang Chen wanted to know who came up with this stupid way of recruiting soldiers.

"It seems to be an order from the Ministry of War. As the war continues to expand, the Ministry of War has more and more say in the court. After all, if this war is to be fought, we must rely on the Ministry of War to coordinate military affairs and prepare for war."

While they were talking, the two happened to witness a live incident happening before their eyes.

A pair of soldiers dragged two young men on the street and pulled them into a group of more than 20 people. The latter were all strong men who had been forcibly arrested. When they were put on military uniforms, they transformed into big men.

Be a soldier.

"Master, Master, please show mercy. My grandson is only twelve years old. How can he be a soldier?"

A blind old man rolled and crawled after him. He grabbed his grandson's sleeves with both hands and refused to let go.

After hearing the news, the official in charge of recruiting soldiers came over. He was wearing a dark green official uniform and holding a birdcage in his hand. When he came, he pursed his lips and teased the bird in the cage, looking like a gentle scum who needed a beating.

"Who is making a noise here? Fighting for the country is a national plan. How dare you resist?"

The blind old man's face was full of tears, and he cried: "Your Majesty, my two sons have been serving in the army for a long time. Now it has been five years, and their life and death are uncertain! Now there is only such a single seedling left in the family. Is it necessary to let it go?

Do we have no descendants?"

The official said unmoved: "It is the duty of the people of Daqian to protect the homeland and the country. Is your grandson a member of Daqian?"

"This...is, he is from Dagan."

"That's fine. If he doesn't fight bloody battles for Da Qian and sacrifice his life for charity, is he going to become a traitor?"

This official was very eloquent and very good at arranging accusations. He stopped the old man in just a few words.

The situation of the other family is not much better. The couple has only been married for two days, and now the husband is about to be taken away by force. It is hard to say whether he will be able to come back after this trip.

Given the cruelty of the war in the north, and the fact that these people don't get the training they deserve, there is a high probability that they will die worthless on the battlefield.

Although the people around him looked angry, they had nothing to do because they knew that resistance was useless and the only thing they could do was to obey.

"What are you shouting about? Don't you know that I am sitting in the city? If this spreads out, they will think that my governance is not good. Do you want me to be misunderstood by the world?"

A somewhat familiar voice came from a distance. When this guy came closer, Jiang Chen realized that this was the young man with whom he had some quarrels outside Ziyang City that day.

At that time, he also made rude remarks to Wu Yue.

Jiang Chen asked: "Who is this person and why is he so arrogant?"
