Magistrate Tian was extremely shocked. The Tianshen Army only spared the elderly among all men, women and children.
Tian Qiaoqiao was also shocked.
She never thought that those little rascals could be Boy Scouts.
"So---you joined the army at such a young age?"
No wonder the children's speaking and postures have some resemblance to those of soldiers.
She thought they were imitating the God Army, but she didn't expect them to be soldiers as well.
Tian Qiaoqiao had an idea. Why not go and join the iron-blooded general and become a female soldier?
But she felt reluctant to let go of Xiao Yunzhan. After all, he was the man she had liked for almost ten years, and she really couldn't let him go all of a sudden.
She didn't want to become big, but she was willing to do anything as long as it allowed her to enter the Yongchang Palace.
Lin Yiran turned her head and glanced at the father and daughter of Magistrate Tian, then looked towards the direction of Pingliang City.
"Let's go take a look first. It's such a long way, these children must have suffered a lot on the way here."
It would take at least five or six days to walk from Pingliang City to Shuitian City based on the children's pace.
On this hot day, a group of children in the wilderness...
"Let's go and take a look at these kids...ah..."
Old Madam Xiao frowned, sighed and shook her head.
After all, he had been fleeing with Ling Yan day and night, so he was very tough.
Magistrate Tian was stunned for a moment, then followed Lin Yiran and Old Madam Xiao.
He didn't expect the two generals to explain the matter of these children to the father and daughter.
This matter is not his business.
Don’t interfere in matters that you shouldn’t be involved in, and don’t ask about matters that you shouldn’t ask about.
This is the way of getting along with superiors that he has summed up after so many years as an official.
Otherwise, why could he live in peace with the Xiao family's private army stationed in Shuitian City for so many years.
As long as the stability of Shuitian City can be maintained, he is willing to be a blind man. It is also reasonable for the granary of the prefectural government to provide for these soldiers.
Tian Qiaoqiao looked at the three people hurrying forward and trotted after them.
She was very curious about why such a young child was so willing to join the army.
The treatment in the Heavenly God Army is indeed very good, but it is also really hard.
She could see the Tianshen Army doing drills and exercises on the parade ground early every morning.
The sound of hundreds of thousands of people laughing and joking could be heard by everyone in Shuitian City.
Don't mention it, this sound is quite shocking, it's particularly powerful...
.......
"Greetings to General Long, greetings to General Tiance!"
The boy scouts saw Lin Yiran and Old Madam Xiao from afar, and they all knelt down excitedly and kowtowed.
The hoarse little voice attracted the attention of all the people who were working on the road nearby.
They were originally curious about why a group of beggar-like children would travel alone without any adults. This was very strange.
Unexpectedly, they were more excited to see the two generals than to see their own mothers, which made the people even more curious.
Of course, the people just looked at it curiously, and no one dared to put down their work and run over to watch.
Watching the fun is not as important as having your name engraved on the monument of merit.
The prefect said that anyone who cheats or cuts corners will have his name crossed out from the monument of merit.
If it is engraved and then crossed out, how can I have the face to live in the village?
All their ancestors would have to crawl out and kick them.
"Get up quickly."
Lin Yiran looked at the children whose faces turned pale from exhaustion, frowned, and quickly stepped forward to help them up.
"Does your family know that you've come to seek refuge with General Ling Yan?"
If he came here secretly, she would have to send someone to Pingliang City to notify them immediately.
Otherwise, if so many children died at once, their families would be so worried that they would die.
The thin little boy in the lead stood up with his butt sticking out, gnashing his teeth, and shaking his aching legs.
"Don't worry, General Long. We can write and have left notes at home. We didn't sneak out."
"I told my family that I can't write, and they all support us in coming to find General Ling Yan."
"We want to learn martial arts and literacy with the young general, and then follow him to conquer the capital and overthrow the tyrant emperor!"
The child behind him got up and, regardless of the pain in his legs and feet, he shouted at the top of his voice,
"Destroy the capital and overthrow the tyrant emperor!"
“…”
Lin Yiran looked at the children's hoarse voices, excited expressions, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice.
She looked at the little boy in the lead.
This child looks older than the others, about ten years old. It may be that he is too thin, and his actual age is even older than this.
Otherwise, how could he speak so clearly and without any preparation, just speak without hesitation?
"What's your name? What did you eat on the way here?"
Lin Yiran looked around and didn't see any child carrying any bag. They were all unarmed.
