Death Row Ability: Blood Battle Level Up

Chapter 45: Buy a house, join the army



After actually entering Yunqi City.

The first thing Li Dao did was to place Jiu'er in the inn, and then he brought some things from Uncle Anyuan's house to the pawn shop and exchanged them for some silver.

Later, he used part of the money to ask the pawnshop owner to help him find a place to live in Yunqicheng.

Because the series of processes go very quickly and cleanly.

Only half a day later, a subordinate of the pawn shop owner arrived outside a house.

The waiter pointed at the house and greeted him warmly, "Guest, our shopkeeper is talking about this house. It definitely meets your requirements."

Li Dao stood at the door and took a general look. The courtyard he entered was enough for him and Jiu'er.

He looked at the waiter and asked, "Are you sure the living environment here is safe?"

Yunqi City is no better than the imperial capital.

Needless to say, the safety at the foot of the imperial city, especially the Anyuanbo Mansion where he already lived, was very safe. Because it was close to the palace, there were soldiers patrolling in the light every night, and there were guards hiding in secret.

People like thieves and criminals simply don't dare to go near that place.

But it's different outside.

Especially in Yunqi City, most of the people here come from all over the world, and they are a mixed bag. Most people who come and go stop here for a while before going on their way.

Therefore, everyone is here, and safety becomes the main issue.

It wouldn't matter if it was Li Dao himself.

Generally, when a petty thief comes to your door, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

But Li Dao's main reason is that he wants to join the army. Jiu'er will probably live alone in this place for a long time, so he naturally has to consider safety.

Hearing this, the waiter said confidently, "Don't worry. Apart from the military camp, there is no safer place than here in the entire Yunqi City. In a sense, this is also the most dangerous place in Yunqi City."

Li Dao was quite surprised, "Why do you say that?"

The waiter chuckled and said, "Guest, do you know who most of the people living here are?"

"who?"

"Guests may not think that most of the people living here are civilians, but in fact most of these civilians have one thing in common, that is, most of the men in the family are soldiers."

The waiter pointed to the doorway opposite, "For example, just across from you, a family of wives, children, and young children live here. Although they are easy to bully, no one dares to provoke them, because their men are serving as soldiers under Zhenyuan Hou."

"Because we have the same families and men, the people around here are very united."

"No one has the guts to make trouble here."

Speaking of this, the waiter lowered his voice and whispered, "I also heard that even our city lord of Yunqi City suffered a loss here. He was scolded by an aunt so badly that he couldn't even speak. Dare to return it."

Hearing this, Li Dao understood.

This place should be similar to the military compound in the previous life.

In this case, it goes without saying about security.

Moreover, because the men in most people's families have joined the army and rarely go home, and most of the people here are women, Jiu'er is not afraid of being bored here.

So he immediately made his decision, "Then choose this house."

The waiter praised, "Guest, you are really discerning."

Hearing this, Li Dao threw a small piece of broken silver over and said, "Please help me complete the formalities as soon as possible."

After taking the broken silver, the waiter said cheerfully, "No trouble, no trouble, I promise you can move in today."

Half an hour later.

Under the help of the waiter, the title deed of the house was successfully handed over to Li Dao.

"Thank you."

Seeing that the waiter was so straightforward, Li Dao gave the waiter another piece of silver.

The waiter quickly put away the money and said with a smile, "What you said is what it should be."

"Also, if you have anything to do in Yunqi City in the future, just ask me. I promise to take care of it for you."

Li Dao nodded, "Okay."

When I first arrived, some things would be easier to solve if there was a local person to help me.

"Then you're busy, I'll leave first."

...

Soon after, Li Dao picked up Jiu'er from the inn and brought her to the newly purchased house.

Touching Jiu'er's head, he whispered, "This will be our new home from now on."

New home?

Jiu'er looked at the house in front of him curiously and expectantly.

Much smaller than before, she thought of the young master whom she secretly glanced at.

It's better to be younger. You can be closer to your young master in everything you do.

Thinking of what Butler Li said to her, her face turned red and she couldn't help but feel happy.

Li Dao didn't know much about the family affairs, so he said, "Jiu'er, go in and take a look. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll have someone prepare it."

"Don't worry, young master, leave everything to me."

Jiu'er looked confident. Back in Uncle Anyuan's Mansion, part of the family affairs were handled by Butler Li, and the rest was handled by her. This couldn't be easier for her.

Three days passed quickly.

During this period, Li Dao was able to see Jiu'er's housekeeping abilities.

In just three days, the entire house was clearly arranged by her.

As small as a flower or an ornament, as large as furniture decoration, she figured it all out by herself.

He just needs to run errands every day.

And, for the sake of convenience, someone can help Jiuer in the future.

In the past few days, Li Dao also visited his neighbors with wine.

At first, when they learned that Li Dao and Jiu'er were new residents, the neighbors were wary of the two strangers.

But in the end, when they learned that Li Dao was going to join the army, the attitude of the neighbors became a little more friendly. Finally, due to the nature of drinking, they became familiar with each other before long.

All in all, everything went smoothly.

Early morning three days later.

After briefly washing up, Li Dao walked out of the room and greeted the neighbor, "Jiu'er, I'm going out first."

"Master, please wait."

There was a sound of footsteps in the next room, and Jiu'er quickly ran out.

When he saw that Li Dao was already dressed up, Jiu'er pouted and said, "Master, why don't you wait for me and let me help you wash up."

"I have hands and feet, so I can do it myself. Besides, you're tired all day long, so there's no need."

"I'm not tired. I'm happy to be able to serve you."

Hearing this, Li Dao couldn't help but smile and said, "In that case, you can help me find a few maids and let them help you, so that you can take care of me in your spare time."

"Can't!"

Jiuer subconsciously objected loudly.

But he soon realized that there was something wrong with his attitude, and he blushed and said quickly, "It's not that I don't agree with you, Master, to find a new maid. It's just that we just came here and we are not familiar with everything yet. It's better to wait for a while." ."

"Is that so?"

"Uh-huh."

Jiu'er nodded repeatedly.

Li Dao smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then it will take some time."

Hearing this, Jiuer breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

Suddenly, he felt that his reaction was a little too much. He quickly looked up and saw his young master's expression that was half-smiling, and his face suddenly turned red.

I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, "It's hard to be alone with the young master. I won't help find the maid. Let the young master find it by himself."

From the perspective of his young master, that maid is not easy to find.

Li Dao looked at the time and felt that it was about the same, "Okay, I'm going out, you stay at home."

"Well, Master, please remember to come back early for dinner."

"knew."

...

Pushing open the door, Li Dao came to the alley.

He walked forward and soon came to a crossroads, where he saw four or five ladies sitting outside a house chatting.

Seeing this, Li Dao took a deep breath and then boldly continued walking forward.

The sound of footsteps quickly attracted the attention of several ladies.

When they saw Li Dao, the eyes of several ladies lit up.

"Isn't this the new Xiao Li? Let's go out."

An old lady spoke.

"Well, I heard that Zhenyuan is recruiting troops today. I'll go give it a try."

Li Dao replied.

Another aunt on the side said excitedly, "Then you have to give it a try. If you become a soldier of Zhenyuan Marquis, the treatment will be great."

Then an aunt on the side said with a proud face, "That's not true. My son is under Zhenyuan Hou. He still has a position and can manage five subordinates."

After speaking, she looked at Li and said, "Xiao Li, if you can become a soldier of Zhenyuan Hou, I will let my brat take care of you in the military camp."

Li said, "Then I'd like to thank Aunt Liu first."

"I'm a little anxious here, so I'll leave those ladies first."

After speaking, Li Dao didn't stop for more than a millisecond. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the alley, as if there was some savage beast behind him.

This immediately stunned the ladies on the spot.

After a while, the ladies came back to their senses.

One of the ladies couldn't help but murmured, "This little Li runs so fast. I also want to introduce my second uncle's granddaughter to him."

"Your second uncle's granddaughter? The one with 300 pounds? If you ask me, forget it. I'm afraid Xiao Li will be scared to death when he sees her."

"Don't think I don't know. You said this because you want to introduce your daughter to Xiao Li. Your daughter is like this. She would shake her head at the sight of it."

"Say one more thing, surnamed Sun!"

"Hey, you bitch, why don't you let me talk?"

"You slutty bitch, you haven't been brave for a few days. Look, I'll catch you today."

Soon after, a series of yelling and scuffles sounded in the alley.

After a while, all the neighbors smelled the smell and came out to watch the fun.

No one came up to stop it. It seemed that they were used to it. Some people even set up their stools in advance, as if they were ready to watch the show at any time.

at the same time.

After escaping from the aunt's sight, Dao Li breathed a sigh of relief.

There's nothing bad about the people here, but they are just too enthusiastic about him.

Especially after learning that he was single and Jiu'er was just his maid, almost every time he met these ladies, they would be nabbed and they would constantly introduce partners to him.

He would rather face an army of millions than face the mouths of these aunts.

When he walked to the long street, his heart gradually calmed down.

The next step is to go to the north of Yunqi City.

After one stick of incense.

Li Dao came to the north of the city.

Compared with the prosperity in the south of the city, the north of the city is obviously much worse.

The reason why it is poor is because there are many military camps stationed here and it is a strictly controlled area.

As he got closer to the north gate of the city, Li Dao found that the pedestrians around him no longer had women and had all turned into men.

Soon, Li Dao found a long queue near the city gate.

On one side of the team, he saw a wooden board with three large characters on it.

'Recruiting Office'

"It should be right here."

Li Dao looked around and found that everyone around him was rushing towards the team.

If it weren't for Zhenbei Hou, it would be impossible for so many people to join the army.

So, following the crowd, he also lined up in the queue.

Standing among the crowd, Li Dao stood out especially because of his face.

Maybe these people are curious why such a handsome man would choose to be a soldier.

The team moved forward little by little.

I don't know how long it took, but there was finally movement in front.

I saw many Juma stakes not far away separating the outside world from a camp.

At a gap in the middle of the Juma pile, several soldiers maintained order, and there was another person holding a manual to register everyone's identity information.

"Next, name and household registration."

"Sir, my name is Li..."

"Okay, next one."

"..."

Just like that, it was Li Dao's turn soon.

"Next, you..."

But when the recorder raised his head and saw the face of the person clearly, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses.

"Name and household registration."

"Sir, my name is Li Dao, and my household registration is a good one."

The household registration system of the Daqian Dynasty was the same as that of previous generations.

It is divided into five levels, namely: noble status, good status, merchant status, slave status, and finally the humble status.

The first three correspond to scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the slave status is dependent on the first three, the latter is independent of others, and the most frightening thing is that the humble status is inheritable, one generation has a humble status, and the descendants have a humble status from generation to generation, and they cannot change it. , mostly refers to sinners.

Li Dao once had a first-class noble status, but now he has regained his household registration after going through the death row camp. It is already good to be able to keep his good status.

If you want to be a soldier, only scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants are eligible, and the latter two are not eligible.

"Okay, let's go in, next one."

The recorder recorded Li Dao's name in the book and said.

"Thank you, sir."

Li Dao ignored the few soldiers who were maintaining order and followed the steps of the previous person into the military camp.

Soon, a whole team appeared in front of them.

The people who had registered before were gathered together, and there were several men wearing military uniforms.

As soon as Li Dao walked into the team, he heard a sentence.

"Fifty people are enough. Now all of you follow me. If anyone falls behind, there is no need to take the test, and they will be eliminated directly."

An officer came out and finished speaking, then turned back and walked deeper into the military camp without hesitation.

Seeing a group of people motionless and still dazed, someone from the army of officers on the side reminded them, "What are you waiting for? You all want to be eliminated."

So, the people who lined up quickly followed, and Li Dao was also in the queue.

At the same time, Li Dao also noticed that the people who came after him continued to line up like them.

It seems that every fifty people belong to a group, and then they will be assessed for enlistment.

Under the leadership of the officer, Li Dao and his party of fifty people quickly arrived at a camp.

There is a sign on the side of the tent.

There was a big word written on it.

'medicine'

The officer stopped behind the camp door and turned around, "Do you have any of the fifty people with physical disabilities? If you have any, get out of the queue as soon as possible to avoid wasting everyone's time."

After a while, seeing that everyone remained silent, the officer nodded, "Forget it if there is no one, wait outside now, I'll go in and take a look first."

After speaking, he left the confused people behind and got into the tent.
