This year's New Year, the people of Hepu will have a better life. There will be no wars and civil strife, and the safety will be greatly guaranteed. Everyone will have a smile on their faces.

This kind of emotion seems to be contagious, and when Xiang Xi saw it, his mood seemed to improve a lot.

The door of the Governor's Mansion was even more fiery red, and the servants carefully cleaned the outside, even the leaves on the two welcome trees at the door were polished.

Seeing Ji Xiuyuan's car, someone shouted, "Young Marshal is back!"

After a while, Lin Feng came out. He changed the clothes he cleaned today and put on a brand new military uniform. He also shaved his beard and cut his hair. He looked refreshed.

"Young commander, do you want to order troops now?"

Ji Xiuyuan looked at him and nodded.

Xiang Xi couldn't help but get excited. According to the custom of Hepu Ji's family, the soldiers must be counted at noon on the New Year's Eve. After the end, the Hepu New Year will officially start.

For this day, everyone rehearsed for a long time.

Of course Xiang Xi knew that after many years, this custom has been carried on and became a national custom, but it is still in its infancy, but it would be great to be able to witness it with my own eyes.

After all, this is an era of war, and the people are in a state of anxiety. This is to reassure people and deter them.

It's only ten o'clock now, and there are still two hours before the soldiers are counted.

In order to formally welcome this solemn moment, Xiang Xi hurried back and changed into a brand new uniform.

Carefully smoothing every corner and cuff, her eyes were slightly smiling.

In the past, she probably wouldn't have even glanced at such clothes, the colors were not bright, and the styles were rigid, so they looked like girls' clothes.

But now, she felt that the clothes gave her a great sense of security, like a warrior's armor, with a protective effect.

Dongxue Chunxia didn't have a uniform, so he could only watch helplessly, with envy in his eyes.

"Don't be envious, work hard, as long as you are a useful person, you will have your own uniform sooner or later." Xiang Xi encouraged the two of them.

Although they are girls and haven't read many books, they are not stupid. As long as they are willing to study in the future, they will still have unlimited possibilities.

Both Dongxue and Chunxia nodded excitedly. To be honest, when they first came to Xiang Xi's side, they still felt a sense of distance in their hearts.

But now, the previous sense of distance is gone all of a sudden, not because of anything else, but because every time Xiang Xi looks at them, his eyes are peaceful and powerful.

Everyone needs respect, even the slaves of the feudal society, Dongxue is the same as Chunxia, ​​Xiang Xi gave them, so they also welcomed their respect.

At ten o'clock sharp, there were ten gunfires outside.

The common people in the military governor's mansion and the streets outside all hurriedly sorted out their work and prepared to watch some soldiers for a while.

Dong Xue and the others had already made preparations, but now their hearts could not calm down.

So now they are begging Xiang Xi to take them to the school grounds, ready to watch the preparations before the army.

The Governor's Mansion is very strictly managed. If there is nothing to do, people in the backyard must never go around the school grounds. This is an iron rule.

But Xiang Xi is different, she has a special status.

In addition, today itself is quite an exception, and many relatives and friends in the mansion are also in the guards. It is not a big deal to go and take a peek today.

After teasing the two girls enough, Xiang Xi nodded and reluctantly agreed.

The road to the school grounds was not short, the three talked and laughed, Chunxia and Dongxue were particularly excited.

"So happy? Is there anyone in the guard you know well?" Xiang Xi asked, before Dongxue said anything, Chunxia blushed first.

Xiang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, something really happened.

"Haha, Sister Xiang, Chunxia's childhood sweetheart brother, was elected to the guards last year, and said that they will get married when they turn eighteen next year!" Dongxue has already said it loudly.

When Chun Xia heard it, she raised her head anxiously, but her face was already flushed, and Dong Xue was even happier seeing it.

"Just laugh at me, there is someone you like in that guard, although I don't know who it is now, but I will definitely know in the future!" Although Chunxia is honest, but not stupid, Dongxue hides well, but under one roof, How can you completely hide it from others.

When Dongxue heard it, she immediately wanted to go up and scratch Chunxia's itch, and there was a burst of laughter and laughter.

Xiang Xi also smiled and said nothing.

Both Dongxue and Chunxia's parents hold relatively important positions in the Governor's Mansion. In addition, they both have good looks and different personalities, but each has its own bright spots.

Such conditions are naturally targeted by many people.

Xiang Xi saw that they also had good expectations for love in their hearts, and was sincerely happy for them.

Soon, the school grounds arrived, and the two girls fell silent.

After another thorn, there is a deep pit below, and the pit is full of people standing neatly.

It is divided into three guards in total, one infantry, one cavalry, and the rest are all wrapped up in different uniforms.

Xiang Xi didn't expect that the always mysterious film group would come out today.

After Dongxue found out, she hurriedly said, "I heard from them that these people in the film group are actually stand-ins, and the real film group will also come out, but it's not so open and aboveboard, but hidden around, protecting today's point." Soldiers."

After hearing this, Xiang Xi understood.

However, she knew that in the next five years, there would be a display of weapons when counting troops. At that time, Ji Xiuyuan was already very powerful, and every time he counted troops, it would almost cause a sensation throughout the country.

It's not like now, just showing the armed forces for the common people to see.

This is just a prototype, and it will become more and more perfect in the future. She can't help but look forward to her future life.

There are not many people who participate in the recruitment of troops below, and all those who can be selected are excellent seedlings among them.

Those young faces are full of vitality.

Xiang Xi thought of his younger brother Xiang Jing, he must be very happy to see this scene.

But during this time, even though she tried her best and used the power of the Governor's Mansion many times, she couldn't find Xiang Jing.

This made her very worried, but it was her own private matter after all, so she kept everything in her heart and didn't tell others.

Seeing such young faces now, Xiang Xi's thoughts and worries that were suppressed in his heart can no longer be restrained.

Dongxue and Chunxia felt that Xiang Xi was not in the right mood. Although they were worried, they didn't ask rashly, they just looked at her with comforting eyes.

Xiang Xi saw it and smiled quickly, "It's okay, I just saw them and thought of my younger brother, his name is Xiang Jing, he is 16 years old this year, and he will be 17 years old after the new year, but now he doesn't know where he is. .”

When the two heard this, they were quite surprised. Sister Xiang's younger brother disappeared?
