Seeing Anya looking at him defensively, Chu Mo knew what she was worried about.

He immediately smiled and explained:

"Miss Anya, you must have discovered the serious shortage of logistics personnel here when you visited our camp before, right?"

"Many areas that require support staff are handled by my soldiers themselves."

"To tell you the truth, when we were sailing at sea, we encountered a storm, causing most of our logistics supply ships to be capsized by the waves, and the crew members on them were killed. Therefore, we are now in urgent need of manpower."

"That's why I thought of hiring you locals to help me complete this material supply."

"Of course, I also said that this help will not be in vain. I will pay a corresponding price as your salary."

It was okay if Chu Mo didn't explain. The more he explained, the more suspicious Anya became.

She also saw the opponent's fleet. Although it had the marks of long-term sailing on the sea, it had definitely not been baptized by storms as Chu Mo said.

However, this guy did not deceive himself about one thing, that is, the opponent's logistics supply did have problems, which required the soldiers to solve the logistics problems themselves.

It was completely different from some of the armies she had seen before.

Thinking of this, Anya felt like she couldn't make up her mind:

"I can't agree to this at the moment. I want to go back and discuss it with my grandfather and the others. If possible, I think I will give you the answer tomorrow."

Chu Mo nodded and did not reject Anya's proposal.

I want to build this place into an outpost supply point to enter the Tang Dynasty. Now I want to build a good relationship with the local indigenous people. There will definitely be only benefits and no disadvantages.

Soon, Anya returned to the clan and narrated the negotiation process.

When the old patriarch heard that she did not take out the items that she brought for exchange this time, although he was a little angry, he also understood what his granddaughter was worried about at this time, so he just sighed without blaming her too much.

However, when he heard that Chu Mo wanted to hire his own people to work, his wrinkled old face suddenly smiled.

"That's fine if necessary. I'm not afraid that he will have any evil intentions. I'm just afraid that we won't be of any use to him."

"He needs us, but he doesn't use his powerful army to force us. This is his sincerity. So, Nizi, you are thinking too much."

The old patriarch looked at Anya and said seriously.

Then, he began to convene the tribesmen for discussions.

Early the next morning, Anya appeared in front of Chu Mo's temporary camp with a group of old, weak, women and children in ragged clothes.

Hearing Chu Ruowan's report, Chu Mo smiled, knowing that the other party was here to test him.

After thinking about it, he left the camp directly and came to Anya and the others.

"Miss Anya, I heard you brought someone here. It's great."

The first thing Chu Mo said when he saw Anya, he didn't ask her why she brought some old, weak, women and children here, but just started chatting.

Anya's initial concern gradually weakened after seeing that Chu Mo was not angry.

"Sir, we can only deploy these people from our clan to help you, I don't know if you need them."

Pointing at the group of old, weak, women and children behind her, Anya stared into Chu Mo's eyes and asked.

Chu Mo didn't even look at it, he just waved his hand and said:

"Of course I need them. I want them mainly to take my people into the mountains to replenish fresh water and hunt. They just need to know the way into the mountains."

After saying that, he asked the warrior Yu to take the people down and make arrangements carefully.

Seeing her people being taken away, Anya felt something was wrong, but before going out, her grandfather also told her not to interfere, so she didn't say much.

However, just because she didn't want to be troublesome didn't mean that Chu Mo was fine.

"Miss Anya, I have been here on this island for several days and have never been out. It happens to be sunny and sunny today, and the girl is here. I wonder if she can be my guide and take me around?"

Shadow was stunned upon hearing this.

The other party is such a shrewd person, why does he seem to be alone today?

Ask yourself to lead the way?Aren't you afraid of taking you to the deep mountains and forests and throwing you directly to wild beasts to eat you?

However, she soon gave up her naive idea.

According to the identity of the other party, when they go out to play, they will definitely cheer each other and support each other. I want to plot against the other party, unless I am tired of living.

However, as soon as the thought came up, Chu Mo shouted to Chu Ruowan beside him:

"Ruo Wan, didn't Lao Han want to see the beautiful scenery on the island? Just in time, you go and call him over. Today the three of us will ask Miss Anya to be our guide and take us around."

After Chu Ruowan heard Chu Mo's words, she curled her lips in disdain. This guy was definitely planning another bad idea.

When Anya saw Chu Ruowan bringing a man dressed as a middle-aged scribe who was missing his left arm, she was immediately surprised.

I originally thought that the Lao Han mentioned by the other party should be a brave man and a guarantee for Chu Mo's safety during this trip.

But he didn't expect that the other party would bring a frail scholar with one hand missing.

Such trust made Anya feel a little fond of Chu Mo involuntarily.

"Sir, don't you bring more people with you? It's just the three of you, aren't you afraid of something unexpected happening?"

Chu Mo laughed, looked at Anya and said:

"With a girl leading the way, how could an accident happen?"

With that said, he walked out of the camp first.

Looking at Chu Mo's free and easy back, Anya's eyes filled with ripples.

Soon, he followed suit.

A group of four people walked and stopped, and before they knew it, they came to a mountain col.

Looking at the beautiful scenery around him, Chu Mo sometimes even thought that if he stayed here for the rest of his life, it would be a good place to retire.

However, let’s forget about it.

There are tens of thousands of wolf-like soldiers behind him now.

If you choose to retire here, you never know when you wake up one day and your head will be hung on a pole and used as a sacrificial flag.

Before Chu Mo could continue to sigh, suddenly, hundreds of indigenous people with bows and arrows, scimitars on their waists, and colorful markings on their faces jumped out and surrounded him and his group.

Seeing the people coming, Hanshan layman's eyes flashed with disdain. He looked at Chu Mo and asked if he wanted to kill them all.

Chu Mo shook his head vaguely at the other party, asking Hanshan layman to calm down.

Then he looked at Anya with sharp eyes and asked:

"Girl, what do you mean? I, Chu Mo, treat you sincerely, but I didn't expect you to set a trap and lead us here? Could it be that I neglected the girl and made her unhappy?"
