Looking at the troop of soldiers in front of the door, each of them holding a long halberd, standing in front of the wall that had just been repaired, Lu Qing's complexion was extremely unsightly.
She had only been here for less than a year, from eating vegan to eating steamed buns, she did not know how hard it was. Seeing that her family's tofu was selling pretty well, with the money to buy clothes and food, and maybe even letting her son go to school, she decided to send a team.
What are they doing here?
The leader, an officer who was missing a front tooth, said, "Qin Prefecture Scholar's Order, recruit widows and go to the border to be assigned to soldiers. You may accompany your children!"
Li Ergou, who had been trying to get her to sleep by climbing up her wall, said, "Hehehe, I'm just going to catch you and make you an army prostitute!"
Luqing calculated the probability of her defeating this group of soldiers and found that it was very unlikely. However, in order to prevent herself from becoming a military courtesan and not wanting to marry again, she decided to put everything on the line.
After the stone mill was completed, Lu Qing gripped a firewood chopping knife that was full of holes.
"Mom, I'm so scared!" The stinking brat, who had just been raised into a fatty, tightly held onto the corner of Lu Qing's clothes. His large round eyes were filled with tears, yet he did not dare to drop them.
"What's there to be afraid of? I said I would cover you!" Lu Qing growled in a low voice as he moved his slender arms, telling the stinky brat to stop grabbing onto her. She was ready to cut him down.
Her knuckles were gripped so tightly that they had turned white. Lu Qing still hadn't moved because she saw another soldier coming from outside the courtyard wall.
It was more accurate to say that they were not soldiers, but perhaps a commander or a marshal. Unlike this group of people who wore wrinkled military uniforms, this one wore a suit of armor, although it was somewhat worn out.
Of course, this was not the main point. The most important point was that Lu Qing could tell that this person had all kinds of martial arts.
"Who said that they would capture widows to become military whores?"
That person asked before even reaching the door.
The group of old and new soldiers instantly looked at Li Ergou, who was still climbing up the wall.
Li Ergou was so scared that his butt fell on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Did you say that?"
The man walked towards Li Ergou, even taking out his sword from his waist.
"Sir Army Lord, I'm just spouting nonsense. I was trying to scare the little widow, but it's not real, ah, ah, ah …"
Seeing that the sword was already at his neck, Li Ergou was so scared that he peed his pants and curled himself up against the wall, not daring to move.
"Your elder brother has been guarding the border for seven years, but is unable to return home. What the f * ck are you talking about!"
Lu Qing stared expressionlessly at the tall and thin figure behind the short wall. Was this person speaking the truth? However, whether it was true or not, she did not want to casually match up with a soldier at all, especially after clearly seeing the team of people standing in the yard.
For a man with a mild obsession with cleanliness, this was simply a death sentence for him. (TL: OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG/OMG
Not to mention how ugly they were, they had not bathed for who knows how many days and their entire bodies stank. She even saw lice crawling around in their beards, but they acted like nothing had happened.
Marry such a person? She would probably be a widow again, on her wedding day.
With his slim physique, he was only fifteen years old. One year ago, he was married to Han Shuo's sick dad, and they had a wedding night. That sickly ghost had happily left after just looking at her.
Leaving behind a five-year-old son, he would follow her and eat his fill of life.
"Luqing, right? Follow us."
As he said this, the man turned around, holding up a letter of appointment with the official seal.
Only then did Lu Qing clearly see the face beneath the helmet, and he discovered that his salivary gland secretion had accelerated …
