Chapter 393

Ying Mo was also exceptionally anxious, but not long after they had walked forward, Gao Jianli behind him suddenly spoke: "Young Master, look, what is that behind us?"

Gao Jianli's tone was filled with surprise, and when Ying Mo turned his eyes to look behind him, his eye sockets were filled with utter astonishment.

He had not expected that there had been nothing behind him, yet at this moment, a multitude of commoners had suddenly appeared.

The sudden appearance of these commoners caught Ying Mo somewhat off guard.

However, they were all holding various kinds of gifts in their hands.

At this moment, these commoners were extremely excited.

The number of these commoners had already reached over ten thousand.

Ying Mo had the carriage stop first.

Looking at the ten thousand commoners before him, Ying Mo felt incomparably moved in his heart.

One must know that the influence of what Ying Mo had done this time was particularly widespread.

Word spread from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand; many people had learned of the series of things Ying Mo had done.

Naturally, they also understood Ying Mo's situation, so at this time, they began to line the road to see him off, their eyes filled with utter reluctance.

It seemed that this matter was no small thing to them; in reality, this matter had indeed had a tremendous impact on them.

After all, in the few days Ying Mo had been here.

These commoners felt that their lives had undergone a heaven-turning, earth-flipping change.

Therefore, from the bottom of their hearts, they actually did not wish for Ying Mo to leave.

Ying Mo's departure could also be considered a very sorrowful event for them.

However, things went against their wishes; these things could not last forever, and Ying Mo still had more important matters to attend to.

Naturally, he could not spend all his time here, but at this moment, these commoners did not know that.

Only to hear one commoner stand out and say: "Young Master, could you stay here for a few more days? It is not that we hope for you to handle any matters for us."

"It is because there are still many commoners who have not seen your true face, and they all want to take a look."

"We want to know what the person who changed the lives of us local commoners looks like, and what kind of noble character he possesses. We respect you very much."

When saying this, this sensitivity was evident at a glance.

Among these so-called commoners, an elder with prestige spoke very earnestly, and after hearing these words.

Ying Mo smiled, and it was not just this one person; there were several others asking at the same time, their eyes filled with both confusion and reluctance.

Under such circumstances, Ying Mo could only smile and say: "Everyone, although I also very much wish to stay here."

"Because you are indeed very enthusiastic, and I also want to watch you change step by step; this is a tremendous sense of achievement for me."

"At the very least, regarding this matter, I believe everyone's future life will certainly be very comfortable, but I cannot stay here and watch over it forever."

"Because I have to go to the front lines; there is going to be a war over in Goguryeo soon, so I cannot continue to stay here."

At this moment, Ying Mo also felt reluctant in his heart, but he understood that he had more important things to do.

If he wasted all his time here, and something went wrong at the front lines, it would be too late for regrets.

Therefore, Ying Mo was very clear about which one to choose, and this time, Ying Mo's arrival.

Was actually not a sudden whim of Ying Mo's, but something he did intentionally.

He had come to this village to inspect it on purpose; he had come because he had such a suspicion in his heart, so naturally, he felt a sense of reluctance at this moment.

After all, his feelings for this place had begun a long time ago. After hearing these words, the villagers each revealed a look of disappointment.

They knew that matters like war absolutely could not be taken lightly.

If even the slightest accident occurred, then these people would not be able to survive.

Then there would be no need to say anything else, but the leading elder commoner was still very proactive at this moment.

He said to Ying Mo: "Young Master, which side are you going to fight on? Are you going to travel all the way to the border from here? Is it far from the border?"

"Do you need our help? Although we haven't eaten very well during this period, we still have strength, so please rest assured."

"And we won't eat too much in the army, so let us be soldiers; we can definitely contribute."

At this moment, everyone was very proactive because they wanted to repay Ying Mo for his help.

And when they said these words, their eyes were filled with sincerity.

They were also serious when they said this; Ying Mo had indeed been a great help to them.

Therefore, they also wanted to do their best to help Ying Mo.

And it was not just one person saying this; after one person spoke.

Many people behind began to speak up directly, and their tone was also particularly sincere.

When Ying Mo saw this scene, he did not say anything directly.

Instead, he had them stand in a row, and then Ying Mo looked at them carefully.

Ying Mo did not refuse them at the first moment because he felt that these people before him.

Although they seemed to have some problems, the problems were not very big.

Because the local folk customs were fierce, and many commoners actually needed to work in their daily lives.

They also possessed sufficient combat power; letting them go into the army.

They would only need two days of training to be able to go onto the battlefield, but after struggling with the decision for a while.

Ying Mo still chose to give up; he knew that these commoners had only just obtained a good life.

If he let them go to be soldiers, it would be a disaster.

And most of the time, being a soldier required people of working age.

But one must know that when the previous County Magistrate was here.

Their families had no grain left; it had all been taken away by the previous County Magistrate.

If Ying Mo were to take away these people capable of farming at this time, it would lead to no one being left to till their fields.

When that time came, the situation caused would naturally be particularly terrible, and it might even lead to people starving to death.

So when Ying Mo thought of this point, he felt it was absolutely not okay.

He could not harm the other party because of himself, and Ying Mo was also unwilling to lie to the group of commoners before him.

Only to hear him say: "We are indeed going to fight a war now."

"But this battle is not so easy to fight; everyone might not know the current situation, but our army is not lacking in manpower right now."

"Of course, if the day comes when we lack manpower, I will naturally come and tell everyone, but it is definitely not now."

"And the reason why I won't let you join locally is mainly due to two points."

"The first point is that if you become a soldier, it is very difficult to return home once a year; war can happen at any time, and you have to participate in war at any time."

"This is the most important point, so we generally recommend that people with multiple sons in their families become soldiers; only then is it more appropriate."

"Of course, I think you should also know the specific reasons, so I hope everyone can calm down first."

"The second point is that your local families need people to farm; if you don't work, then there will be a shortage of grain."

"Then our army's grain will also be insufficient; this is naturally the worst outcome."

"So I hope you can farm well and replenish the grain."

"In this way, it is equivalent to participating in a battle; it is equivalent to this war having your support. Thank you, everyone."

At this moment, Ying Mo even bowed to thank them, because Ying Mo was not thanking any single villager individually.

But thanking all the villagers; these commoners truly made him feel very moved. They were already unable to attend to themselves.

But under such circumstances, they were still thinking of the army under Ying Mo's command.

So at this time, he was naturally very excited.

At this moment, he felt that rescuing these commoners was simply an absolutely correct decision.

At the same time, Ying Mo said again: "And I also know that this place of yours has produced many soldiers in the past."

"Many families have warriors; these families have already suffered enough. Although I am not strictly refusing everyone from becoming a soldier."

"But this time, if you want to become soldiers, we can only say we will refuse; we will not let you become soldiers."

"You can give up on this point directly. Your next task is to work well; I don't want to repeat it a third time. Thank you, everyone."

Ying Mo had a smile on his face at this time; it was clear that Ying Mo was not angry.

But he had earnestly told this group of people about his thoughts.

This group of people were not fools; after they saw Ying Mo's reaction.
