Departure
Chapter 129 – Departure
July 6th.
As Tong sent the mobilize order yesterday, the wartime policy was issued to the citizens. The craftsmen got more busy forging weapons and armors while the housewives helped their husband making arrows.
The commoners who recently migrated into the city were afraid of the sudden force conscription. They hid themselves and shut all doors and windows.
On the other hand, the old tenants did not bother hiding themselves and continued their lives as if nothing had happened. The rude ones happily mocked the newcomers as cowards because they knew that the city possessed over 60,000 soldiers, without including Zhang Ji's cavalries and Ding Yuan's forces. Therefore, Julu City would not recruit new militias any time soon.
Jia Xu, who hitched the ride and entered the city as one of the immigrants, had not gotten used to the new laws and the environment of the city yet. He was preoccupying reading every notification on the public announcement boards.
