Chapter 363 Do you have enough manpower? There is a shortage of people
After hesitating for a second, Tu Hua turned around and raised her foot to cross the high threshold.
A folding fan was summoned by her, and as she gently swayed it, a warm breeze greeted her face.
Tu Hua thought to herself: It won’t be long before we go and see what’s going on?
On the other side, Xie Yuchuan, who had received news from the family god that he was coming, was already standing on the corridor outside the room, looking up at the dark clouds for a long time.
After receiving no news that the family god had arrived, Xie Yuchuan took a deep breath and narrowed his black eyes.
Is the family god tripped up by something?
I want to ask, but I am worried about being abrupt.
Wait a moment.
Xie Yuchuan thought.
Everywhere in the corridor on the second floor was guarded by soldiers armed with guns and knives.
The men and women of the Xie family rest next to each other. There are three side rooms on the right side of the corner, which is where the Chai family rests.
Xie Yuchuan waited for a long time and lowered his head to peel the candy. Every time he felt a little impatient, eating a piece of the slightly bitter candy given by the family god would relieve his mood a lot.
When there was movement at the door on the right, Xie Yuchuan raised his eyes and glanced, then lowered his eyes again, peeled off another one, and put it into his mouth.
This candy has a unique taste and is very refreshing.
Xie Yuchuan thought to himself that if possible, he would like to order something like this from the family god next time.
"Young General, is there something bothering you?"
I thought that the people next door came out to show off, but Xie Yuchuan did not expect that Dongbohou Chaiji, who had always been close to the Xie family, would now Wan actually came out to talk to him, and her eyes were quite surprised.
“I’ve met Mr. Marquis.”
“Hey, the young general is too polite!” Seeing how polite he was, Chai Ji waved his hands and smiled, came to the side and said lightly He sighed and said: "Now that my Chai family is in exile and rich as smoke, I am no longer a Dongbohou. General Xie, don't call me like that anymore."
"Isn't it the same with Mr. Hou?" Xie Yuchuan said calmly.
The two looked at each other for a moment, smiling at each other.
With this smile, most of the awkwardness and awkwardness between the two disappeared.
"Otherwise, what if the general calls me uncle? After all, the Chai family is also your Xie family, and there are some ancestral connections. In terms of age, your second uncle and I should be similar. We used to be in the school. , we have a friendship with him in the same age, so it is a bit more cordial."
After being exiled for so long, Xie Yuchuan never met Dong Bohou Chai Ji and said so many words to him.
Moreover, every word is getting closer to him.
Xie Yuchuan was wary for a moment, but after secretly observing Chai Ji's expression and eyes, those wariness quietly faded away.
Chai Ji is looking for him tonight because he has something to do!
He pondered for a moment, nodded, and shouted: "Uncle Chai."
"Hey, good, then I will call the general uncle."
After going back and forth, Chai Ji didn't express his thoughts first, but he was very smart to draw the relationship between the two people closer.
Although I know that this kind of close relationship is made out of nothing.
However, Xie Yuchuan couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard Dong Bohou mention his second uncle.
Tacitly agreed to Chai Ji's definition of the two families.
Xie Yuchuan now doesn't mind "friends" who come to show their goodwill. The more people he wants to make friends with the Xie family on this exile, the better.
However, he didn’t know why the Chai family, who had always kept a low profile and kept a low profile along the way, suddenly came closer.
The Chai family's exile was somewhat unfair, but it cannot be said that it was wrong at all to offend the master.
The Chai family’s fault lies in disobedience.
But the Chai family had good food, clothing, carriages and horses along the way, far better than what other prisoners had experienced.
Obviously there is someone capable behind the scenes.
Xie Yuchuan knew all these things in his heart, and Xiong Jiushan did not cover them up.
It is true that along the way to the Chai family, I heard that there were people taking care of them. Even when they arrived in Liaozhou, they had already greeted them in advance, so as long as the Chai family did not act like monsters along the way, Xiong Jiushan would only take care of them. As a refugee similar to a caravan, if you obey, you will be safe. If you don't, you will be treated like a refugee.
Other prisoners have opinions, which are not important.
Since ancient times, people who have been exiled have the conditions to eat, drink, and have fun in the exiled areas. If the escorting officials are lucky and encounter such prisoners, they can travel with them by carriage and horse along the way, and enjoy good food and drink. It's spicy.
It’s just that their team is not that rich. The Chai family has its own bodyguards, including the guards in the Hou Mansion. When Xie Yuchuan had an idea in his mind, he had also considered the guards of the Chai family.
However, it’s just a thought.
He doesn’t understand what a domestic personal guard looks like.
Instead of borrowing people from the Chai family, it is better to spend "heavy sums of money" to recruit people who can fight from among the prisoners.
So, when he was discussing with Han Qiguang and Xiong Jiushan, he never mentioned the Chai family.
With those few people, it would probably be good if they could protect their own people first.
Chai Ji is very interesting.
It was obvious at a glance that he came over because he had something to do and wanted to discuss it with him. However, when he arrived, he didn't say anything directly. Instead, he just talked about the household chores for a while.
Xie Yuchuan did not hear the movement of the family god for a long time.
I listened to him patiently for a while.
Chai Ji first talked about his wife's improved condition.
Xie Yuchuan knew this in his heart.
Because of the medicine given by the family god, it seems that Mrs. Chai’s cough has not been heard much recently.
Chai Ji thanked him repeatedly.
It was precisely because of this incident that the two families became close to each other.
These are small things, not to mention that Xie Yuchuan also heard the thank-you gifts from the Chai family from his two younger brothers.
After the greetings, Chai Ji also felt that it would be meaningless to talk like this any more, so he told what he really wanted to talk to Xie Yuchuan about tonight.
"Don't be surprised, good nephew, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Xie Yuchuan's eyes moved slightly, expecting that he would finally talk about business.
"Uncle Shi has something to say, it's okay to say it directly."
"Then I'll say it?"
Xie Yuchuan nodded.
The Chai family coughed twice, cleared their throats, stared into Xie Yuchuan's eyes, hesitated for a while, and said with firm eyes: "I have seen that in the past few days, the Major General and Lord Xiong often discuss each other, and occasionally hear About the bandits, I think..."
When talking about this, Chai Ji hesitated for a moment.
Seeing this, Xie Yuchuan did not deny it.
Dong Bohou Chai Ji was a smart man. Along the way, he not only secretly observed the Xie family, but he also observed the Chai family father and son.
Since Chai Ji can break the silence and come over, ask him this question.
That must have been something that had been circling in my mind for a long time before I came to ask him.
Xie Yuchuan thought for a while and said calmly: "The banditry is rampant in Panlongling, and many people have been brutally harmed. I, Lord Guanxiong, seem to have the intention of assisting the government in suppressing bandits, so you came to ask me. "
Chai Ji nodded, "Oh, that's right. Has he already thought about it?"
Xie Yuchuan looked at him and didn't answer directly, but asked another question. He said: "Uncle Shi asked about this because..."
They are all smart people. Chai Ji immediately understood the real meaning of Xie Yuchuan's question.
In this case, he doesn’t have to make insinuations.
After thinking about it, Chai Ji looked up at him and asked, "If you want to do something, do you have enough manpower?"
Xie Yuchuan looked stunned. Although he had expected it, he was still surprised. .
About to reply.
The voice of the family god finally sounded in my ears.
Tu Hua: Sound the rally horn! Distribute equipment!
System: [Ah! It’s all small money! ! ! 】
