The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 505 Searchlight

September [-]th, outside Gu Meng Mansion, on the official road.

Looking at the city in front of him, Hu Xiaolin said with a smile: "Xiao'an, Gu Mengfu City is ahead, and you will be home soon!"

There are always more common topics among young people, let alone young people who are equally outstanding.

It goes without saying that Hu Xiaolin is excellent, but Wang Xiaoan, who can kill zombies with a spear, is naturally the best among his peers.

So along the way, Hu Xiaolin and Wang Xiaoan became friends.

About to go home, Wang Xiaoan was also in a very happy mood. He smiled and replied: "Brother Xiao Lin, you have worked hard all the way to send each other off, and come to my house for dinner in Fucheng!"

Compared to others, Wang Xiaoan is luckier because he lives in Fucheng.

After the others arrived in Fucheng, they had to be sent back to their own county by the guards, and the journey was not over yet.

Hu Xiaolin shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat the food. Master Zongqi said yesterday that you have to go back when you are sent. There are still people in Yuanyang who haven't returned home!"

The smile on Wang Xiaoan's face receded, and he said helplessly: "That's a pity, we parted today... I don't know if we can see each other again in the future!"

In the current world, the chance of them meeting again is almost zero.

Hu Xiaolin said with a smile: "I said Xiao An, why don't you join the army too? Your ability to carry a hoe is really a waste!"

"When the time comes, we will all be in the army, and we will have the opportunity to meet each other!"

In fact, looking at Hu Xiaolin in leather armor with a steel knife on his waist, Wang Xiaoan, who is of the same age, was very envious.

"I'm going to join the army? I'm afraid it's not the material!" Wang Xiaoan was a little unconfident.

This lack of self-confidence is actually the fear of the unknown.

"Before I joined the army, I also felt that I was not good enough. Do you know... how many monsters I have killed now?" Hu Xiaolin asked quite proudly.

"How many?"

"23!" Glancing at Wang Xiaoan, Hu Xiaolin went on to say, "With your skills, you will have a better future in the army. Here is much more fun than farming!"

Wang Xiaoan was full of longing, but actually he didn't want to carry a hoe either.

He is alone now, so he has nothing to worry about, and this is a good opportunity to let go and make a living.

Touching the back of his head, Wang Xiaoan asked, "But to join the army, where should I go?"

"Recently, the palace will expand its army, and the Privy Council will issue a notice. When the time comes, you will join the army..."

"We are still sending people from the Qianhu Office. If you are selected by the Privy Council to join the army, you must perform well during the new training, otherwise you will be assigned to the guard!"

Hu Xiaolin introduced a lot, but Wang Xiaoan couldn't quite understand them because he didn't understand the rules.

Seeing him in a daze, Hu Xiaolin explained: "In short, after joining the army, it's good to behave like entering the army!"

Wang Xiaoan let out an "oh", and at this moment he seemed to understand a little bit.

"Little Lin, come here quickly..."

The shouts from the rear of the team made it impossible for Hu Xiaolin to continue chatting with Wang Xiaoan. After all, military orders override everything.

"Let's talk later!"

"Brother Lin, go ahead!"

After Hu Xiaolin left, Yao Laoer leaned over with a hoe on his shoulder.

"Xiao An, he's trying to trick you into joining the army again?"

Wang Xiaoan nodded.

Looking at the young man who had saved his life, Yao Er Er persuaded him, "Don't be a fool, you boy, it's so dangerous to be a soldier and fight monsters every day!"

After thinking about it, Wang Xiaoan said, "But Second Uncle, someone has to kill the monster, otherwise...we won't be saved either!"

Yao Laoer was at a loss for words for a while, he actually understood these reasons, but he was just worried that Hu Xiaolin would die outside.

"It looks like you've made up your mind!" Yao Er Er shook his head helplessly.

Hearing this sentence, Wang Xiaoan suddenly realized a lot, and he said quite firmly: "Second Uncle, I want to go out and venture!"

Yao Er Er sighed, and said helplessly, "You can do whatever you want!"

Soon, the whole team arrived outside the city, and many people had gathered at the city gate, including the prefect Luo Lun and several magistrates.

Gu Mengwei's soldiers have already protected the outside of the city, so there is no need to worry about safety.

The mission of Bing Ma Si ended here, Hu Xiaolin was recruited back randomly, and they were about to embark on the return journey.

"Little Lin, where are you going?"

Being scolded by the little flag officer, Hu Xiaolin could only stop, he wanted to say goodbye to Wang Xiaoan.

"Master Baihu will be here soon, do you still have to wait for you to go on the road together?"

"Yes!"

On the other end, the head of the entire convoy has already arrived at the gate of the city.

Several small officials in charge of the team have come to the front, saluted several hall officials present, and introduced the general situation of the trip.

Looking at the large number of grain trucks behind, Luo Lun smiled and said to several county magistrates: "With this grain, there will be no shortage of grain this year!"

"My lord, this is the first batch of grain, and the palace will continue to deliver it later!"

Luo Lun nodded, and said to the left and right: "But the food is not for free. We will also produce food next year, and pay food to the palace!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

The convoys entered the city one after another, and these young adults who had left their hometowns were personally greeted by Luo Lun and other parents and officials, and they were all very excited.

The most important thing is that the promised rewards were fulfilled when they entered the city gate, and everyone received food.

At the gate of the city, a small official shouted loudly: "When you enter the city, you are from that county, so follow the people who guide you, rest in Fucheng today, and go on your way early tomorrow morning!"

"Also, don't cause trouble in the city, otherwise you will be severely punished!"

The young and strong entered the city cheerfully, and after finding a place to house them, they were able to rest well.

Driving so many days in a row is also a very painful thing, and now they can finally sleep peacefully.

But there are also some people who can't stay idle, and after relaxing, they enter the city, wandering around looking for some fun.

Nowadays, there are many widows in this world, and the government will not care if you love me or not.

But when night fell, all the people who went out returned to their residences, and prepared to sleep on the ground floor.

"When I came back just now, I saw a lamp..."

"A lamp? What's the point of a lamp? Haven't you seen a lamp?"

In the Datong shop, people who have not fallen asleep are chatting in low voices.

"This is different. This light is so bright that it illuminates the city gate as if it were daytime!"

"Is it so mysterious?"

"I heard from local people that this lamp was sent from Yuanyang. It is said that it was bestowed by God during the Chengtian Grand Ceremony!"

"Really?"

"Where is that light?"

"It's on the tower of Nancheng City, maybe you can see it from the roof!"

Hearing this, dozens of people in the room couldn't sit still anymore, they walked out of the room one after another, and climbed to the roof one by one.

If it wasn't for the curfew in the city at night, they would have slipped out of the yard and went to the gate of the city to have a look.

When they climbed to the roof, they saw the dazzling light in the distance, and then they were shocked.

Obviously, that beam of light was man-made so that it could shine everywhere.

At this moment, the beam of light swept out of the city wall, apparently as a precaution at night.
