At this moment, the woman's face turned pale, and the chopsticks in her hands were trembling. The yellow dog beside her also knew that the atmosphere was not right, and began to whine in a low voice, took a bite, and looked at the two owners with a somewhat anxious face.

It was the first time in so many years that Gou Sheng encountered such a scene. He was a little overwhelmed. After hesitating for a moment, his stomach was a little full and he stopped.

His wife put her hand on Lu Ming's handsome face and said softly: "I care about you as a person, not your money. As long as you live a good life, study, and then take part in the examination and become an official, I will be satisfied."

!”

"If it doesn't work out, you can do some small business to support your family. Although the salary and rewards of being a soldier are many, they are all earned with your own life. We don't care about it——"

"Madam!" Lu Ming's heart trembled, feeling the rough hands across his face. He remembered that when he got married a few years ago, his wife's hands were still tender, but now her face is full of haggardness.

, appears waxy yellow.

I study on weekdays and rely entirely on my family property and my wife to support me. Is this a man?

The elusive official career has cost many talented people throughout the ages. My own talent is only average, so how can I compete with those talented people?

"Madam, I am not joining the army this time, but I am going to join the inspection camp, either in our state or county, or in the surrounding states and counties. You don't have to go to the battlefield to fight today. If you are lucky enough to be admitted, I will take you

Take it and live a good life!"

"Besides, I am still young, only twenty-four years old. Five years from now, I will not be more than thirty years old. Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, have there been few thirty-year-old Jinshi?"

At this moment, Lu Ming strengthened his determination. He held his wife's hand and said in a deep voice, with unprecedented determination in his eyes that could not be shaken.

"A man has ambitions all over the world. Now that your husband has decided, let's go!" The wife saw that her husband had gone away from his usual depression and depression, and now he was full of ambition. Although she felt uneasy, she was happy.

"Please come to Lingyan Pavilion for a moment. How can I be a scholar and a noble prince?!" After finishing his meal, he looked at his wife for half an hour. Then he strode out of the door and wiped his tears with his sleeves.

Behind him, an old yellow dog roared lowly, and a woman leaned against the door, her eyes red. If there was no door wall, she would have been unable to stand and fell down.

I walked out and asked people along the way about the place where Hengzhou was recruiting "inspection soldiers". It turned out that it was outside the city, so I hurried there immediately.

Arriving in front of the camp on the outskirts of the city, I saw a square flag hanging on the camp: Inspection Department, protect the country and the people!

Before he could reach the door, a civil servant and several sergeants came immediately. When asked whether Lu Ming was a scholar and had come to join the inspection camp, he was instantly surprised. He immediately held Lu Ming's wrist and said, "Brother Lu

! From now on, we are all brothers in the same robe, sharing blessings and hardships, so you have to take good care of us..."

Lu Ming was stunned.

The clerk took him into the camp again and kept talking, "Brother Lu doesn't need to be seen outside when he comes in. Although our inspection camp is local, it is similar to the Forbidden Army. The rules in the army are very strict, but there is humaneness and kindness."

We wear the same clothes and have food to eat together. You don’t need to bring anything with you. We will take care of everything in the camp.

Let’s arrange a place for you first, and then register you after you settle in..."

Lu Ming felt very warm all of a sudden. He just felt that the people here were very kind to him. This group of Qiu Ba was different from the previous ones.

"Brother Lu, you have come to the right place. Our Yuan inspection team destroyed Zhaojiazhuang a while ago. The brothers gave a lot of rewards. The state government has money and food. Life is much better than a while ago!"

On the way into the camp, all the soldiers who came and went greeted him very kindly. Lu Ming finally couldn't help but said: "No, this... I don't know martial arts, how about you select soldiers?"

The civil servant smiled and said: "It's not me who chooses the soldiers. That's a matter for the imperial court. We are only responsible for recruiting and screening. Except for those who have disabilities and cannot speak well, we actually all want them, and then send them to Changsha Mansion."

, there are people from the imperial court in Changsha who will train for a few more months, and then they will be distributed to various states in a staggered manner in their hometowns!"

"Changsha will allocate as many people as we send to Changsha. Of course, the travel expenses are paid. Our inspections are very serious."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, Brother Lu. Although I am a literati, I can only read a bunch of words. Being a literati is barely possible, but writing memorials, documents, correspondence, etc. is still not possible. We still need real literati!"

"In other words, I am a staff member of the inspection team?" Lu Ming was surprised for a moment.

Staff members have a high status, but they do not have military status. They can come and go freely and do not need to go to the battlefield. They are also competent in handling paperwork.

"Our inspection team likes literati, especially those who like to read and write!" the literati said softly:

"I heard that in Lingnan, the status of scholars is higher than that of warriors, and most people look down on warriors. Our Chu country..."

Then the two started chatting freely again. Lu Ming could tell that this person was testing his knowledge, so they started discussing seriously.

"Inspection, Brother Lu is a local scholar!" When they arrived at a luxurious military tent and stood outside, the civil servant said respectfully.

"Okay, come in!"

Lu Ming went in with the clerk. Sitting at the desk was a middle-aged man who was on the thin side, but still stronger than ordinary people. His temples were somewhat gray, and his beard was beautifully combed. He was a fastidious martial artist.

"Student Lu Ming, I have seen the inspection!"

"Brother Lu, wake up!" Yuan Lin glanced at this scholar who was dressed in shabby but neat clothes, and said with a smile:

"We are rough people. In the Forbidden Army, we were forced to read a few hundred words, but we were not good at writing articles. We made people laugh at us, so we wanted Brother Lu to become our staff. Our daily dealings with Shangguan, and

Memorials and other matters should be presided over by brothers!"

"Every month, our salary is ten guan of money, which is two guan of money for Brother Lu. As usual, we have a group of soldiers (ten people), and brother Lu occupies one. We also have 500 yuan every month. How about

?”

"Thank you for the inspection promotion!" After thinking for a moment, the treatment was so generous, which really made people excited. Lu Ming immediately agreed.

"Brother Lu, if you want to take part in the examination in the future, let us know and we will pay for it then!" Yuan Lin said with a smile.

Lu Ming instantly felt warm in his heart. This martial artist from Lingnan was really different.

Seeing that the scholar in front of him was really ready to stay, Yuan Lin continued:

"When our Inspection Department recruits more people, the more the better. Our three hundred people are almost full, so we still need to recruit, or even hundreds more, so that we can have face and ability in front of the superior!"

"Brother Lu is a scholar. He naturally knows a lot of people in Hengzhou. If we can introduce people to you, we will give you a hundred dollars each!"
