Ji Changying pointed at Zhonglizhou next to him and said, "Prince Ping, Zhonglizhou."
The five cousins' breathing became chaotic for a moment. The eldest cousin, Zhou Huaijin, wiped his hands solemnly on his clothes before bowing and saying, "This humble servant greets the prince!"
Zhonglizhou raised his hand to support him: "What's the matter with being a prince or not? It's not so important when you are outside."
Ji Changying said with a smile: "Anyway, we all have the same nose and two eyes, so there's no difference between us."
Zhonglizhou: “…”
Zhou Huaijin glanced at Ji Changying silently, wondering if his younger sister had an unusual relationship with the prince. Why was she speaking so casually?
"You, you, come here!"
Ji Changying took a look at the people who were busy in the shelter, and immediately saw the two larger guys, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang, who were following Wan Ling'er.
When Da Zhuang heard her shout, his body trembled immediately and there was some resistance on his face.
Wan Ling'er pushed him and Er Zhuang and growled, "Hurry over there!"
The two of them then took small steps slowly and approached Ji Changying bit by bit: "Lady, what did you call me for? Please tell me first! I don't pick at people's mouths!"
When Da Zhuang recalled his last experience, his whole face wrinkled up. Er Zhuang sniffed his nose and looked reluctant.
Ji Changying rolled her eyes. "What are you talking about?! I called you over here because you two are the biggest. What are you best at?"
Er Zhuang scratched his head and thought hard but couldn't figure it out.
Da Zhuang thought for a moment, then a happy smile appeared on his face: "You have a good eye, Er Zhuang and I are the best at eating! People in the village call us gluttons!"
There was actually a look of pride on his face, and he didn't think that "good-for-nothing" was an insult at all.
·····
Ji Changying turned her head to look at Zhong Lizhou, signaling him with her eyes, if it doesn’t work, try changing someone else!
Unexpectedly, Zhonglizhou looked at the two of them and asked: "How much can you eat in one meal?"
Erzhuang stretched out a finger with excitement and pride.
Lieutenant General Yang behind Zhonglizhou said disdainfully: "One bowl?"
What's edible about this!
He can eat three bowls in one meal!
"A bucket! Such a big bucket!"
Da Zhuang made a circle with his hands, which was as big as a bucket.
Lieutenant General Yang and another deputy both gasped.
Zhonglizhou was quite interested: "How does it feel to eat so much energy?"
Er Zhuang clenched his fists and pounded his chest, saying, "We are very strong!"
"If you don't believe me, I'll show you!"
Dazhuang turned his head to look around, ran to a wooden stake that required two people's arms to wrap around it, and picked it up in one go.
He picked up the wooden stake and spun it around twice. The people around him quickly scolded him, "Da Zhuang! Are you crazy again? Put it down quickly. What if you hit someone?"
Da Zhuang then put the wooden stake down. It was Er Zhuang's turn to step forward. He picked up the wooden stake and ran to a place with fewer people. He threw the stake up and then hugged it again.
Zhongli Zhou's eyes lit up and he waved his hand to signal him to put it down.
Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang then ran over happily: "We may be working! Why are you asking this?"
Lieutenant General Yang and his deputy looked at each other and nodded secretly.
No matter what happens to other people, this trip is not in vain with these two people.
Ji Changying stood in front and clapped her hands to signal everyone to stop. "I promised you that I would let you go down the mountain if I found someone to take you in. Now they're here."
"Without further ado, as long as one person from each family is chosen today, the rest of the family can move down the mountain and settle down here. Whether you can secure this position depends on your ability."
The people in the shelter were in an uproar.
I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect to find someone to take them in so quickly.
Wan Linger mustered up the courage to stand up and said, "Miss Ji! I have a question. I want to know what the people who were picked up are doing?"
Zhonglizhou turned his head and gave Lieutenant General Yang a look, who immediately stood up and said, "That's a good question!"
"Everyone who is chosen today must go to the military camp! Guard our Dali Dynasty and protect the people of Liangzhou City!"
Lieutenant General Yang stood before everyone with a proud tone, "Once you join the Border Army, there's no retreat! No matter what you did before, whether you were a mountain dweller or a bandit, once you join the barracks you only have one identity! A hero to your family! An upright man who defends our country!"
"You will lose your life! You will bleed! But you will not retreat! Those who violate this will be killed without mercy!"
Lieutenant General Yang drew the sword from his waist and pointed the tip of the sword at the people in the Sheltering Wind Village.
Shocked by his overwhelming aura, the people in the Shelter Village all stared at him in a daze.
"If you don't want to, stand up now!" Lieutenant General Yang put away his knife and looked at the crowd opposite.
Wan Ling'er smiled bitterly and spoke in a lenient manner, but in reality they had no choice.
If they are not chosen today, what awaits them will be the same old days.
Seeing the people in the shelter shrinking, Ji Changying couldn't help but raise her voice and say, "You've lived your whole lives being bullied wherever you go. Even though your heads are hanging on your belts now, you can live uprightly in the future, and your descendants won't have to live like you."
"Being a mountain dweller might bring you a life of peace and security, but are you really willing to live in such a cowardly state for generations? Now that the opportunity is in front of you, you don't have the courage to seize it, so what's the point of talking about the future? Go back to your shelter and live like before!"
When they heard about losing lives and shedding blood, they couldn't help but take several steps back. It was really frustrating to watch.
Lieutenant General Yang looked down on these people from the bottom of his heart.
If the prince hadn't come, if it were him, he would have turned around and left when he saw the looks of these people.
The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment, and Da Zhuang suddenly said, "Do you provide food?"
Lieutenant General Yang sneered: "You can afford to eat ten buckets in one meal!"
Erzhuang's eyes lit up, and he excitedly pulled Dazhuang's arm: "They will feed you! They will feed you!"
Da Zhuang's face flushed with excitement. Wan Ling'er held them both down and said, "Think carefully, this could cost you your life!"
"Sister! When grandpa took me and Erzhuang in, he didn't expect us to eat so much. You've worked so hard before. Now that we're gone, you can breathe a sigh of relief. You don't have to worry about food all day long. You can do your own things. Maybe we can even earn some rewards and bring them back as your dowry!"
Wan Ling'er's eyes suddenly turned red: "But once you leave, I'll be the only one left at home."
"Don't worry! I will definitely find someone to take care of you!"
Da Zhuang patted his chest and promised, then he said to Lieutenant General Yang with a happy face: "We are going!"
A smile appeared on Zhonglizhou's face: "Come here!"
He waved his hand, and Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang ran over with their heads shaking.
While Wan Ling'er was hesitating, when she reached out to pull them, they had already walked away.
