Chapter 222 1
After hearing what Xiaoying said, some people hesitated.
They quietly withdrew from the crowd. Compared with these hesitant people, those who signed up thought of the painful days at home and were more determined and would not be shaken.
There are still many people going to find Xiaoying.
Shen Wei and his companions spent three days at the city gate and gathered more than 2,800 people, but were still short of more than 100.
That afternoon.
The chief eunuch came to the martial arts hall again.
This time, he actually brought a hundred capable and intelligent women to Shen Wei: "Miss Shen, the emperor has ordered that you must do your best when you go to the northern border this time."
"Well, the emperor has ordered that a hundred women with martial arts experience be carefully selected for you. They will definitely be able to help you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wei immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Eunuch, for your advice."
As he said this, he stuffed another ingot of silver into the father-in-law's hand.
After the father-in-law left the martial arts hall with a happy smile on his face, everyone surrounded him.
Xiaoying smiled, but in this smile, there was more helplessness and bitterness: "That's good, Weiwei, this time it's enough!"
"Should we hand in the consent form now?"
Shen Wei shook his head and looked at the sky which was half red. The fiery clouds were so gorgeous.
She said slowly, "Tomorrow is the gathering day, I'll hand it in when they get here."
Shen Wei thought that he would give them one last chance to regret tomorrow, because this trip to the North was a life-threatening one and they all deserved a chance to think twice before acting.
Because of this, Shen Wei has not yet submitted the signed consent form to the government.
Hear the words.
Xiaoying remained silent and sighed softly.
She looked up at the high courtyard wall and thought, they should all come, right? Because they were so determined when they signed up.
But at the same time.
In various parts of the capital, there were fierce arguments over the issue of conscription at the city gates.
Some girls were locked up in the woodshed by their parents. Regardless of their daughters’ desperate pleas, they said angrily outside the door:
"Whatever the official consent letter is, you signed it privately. We, your parents, did not agree to it."
"Besides, you have already been engaged. Do you think the government is going to force you to marry me?"
"We have already received the gift money, ten taels of silver!"
"These ten taels of silver are enough for your brother to marry a wife. Anyway, I will never agree to your going to that damn Xiongnu land."
The woman locked in the woodshed was startled.
Then she suddenly reacted, feeling both terrified and angry, and she protested to her parents outside through the crack in the door.
"What marriage?"
"Could it be that sick ghost from the next village? No! I don't want to marry him. I would rather go to the Xiongnu."
There was only a thin gap in the door, and I couldn't see my parents. I could hear their footsteps leaving outside.
The woman banged on the wooden door hard to try to get her parents' attention.
"Clap!!"
"Dad, Mom, he has killed several women. I don't want to marry him."
"Is money all you care about? Did you give birth to me just because I can bring you money? Why can you only see my brother?"
The father's voice came from a distance, sneering: "You are a sick ghost. That's what I taught you. As expected, now that you are strong enough, you want to abandon your parents."
"You should listen to those stupid women's words in the future. Did you see with your own eyes that the young master of the Wang family killed those wives?"
