Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

The fourth brother, Jiang Jin, approached the door and shouted, "Who's outside?"

"Hello, brave men. I am the second son of County Magistrate Tian, ​​Tian Yuheng. I have come here on the orders of my father to discuss matters with you." Tian Yuheng did not expect that they knew someone was coming before he even knocked on the door.

The door creaked open, and the fourth brother Jiang Jin opened the door. Jiang Jin was the youngest of the four. He was usually boastful and laughed, and got along best with his brothers. He was 5 feet 5 and thin, but he was actually very strong. His kung fu was second only to the eldest brother. At this time, Tian Yuheng, who was 4 feet , stood next to him, and Tian Yuheng seemed taller. Tian Yuheng had fair skin, round features like Aunt Liu, a high nose bridge, and broad shoulders. Standing in front of Jiang Lao Si, Jiang Lao Si looked a little petite.

After Jiang Laosi opened the door, he saw Tian Yuheng coming in. His face looked as fair and ethereal as a fairy in the moonlight. He was suddenly dazed and thought to himself that this white and tender face was so beautiful. Tian Yuheng smiled slightly when he saw the other party, and the dimples on both sides of his cheeks made him even more intoxicated.

"Hehe, come in quickly, why are you grinning like an idiot?" Jiang Laosi deliberately urged in order not to appear embarrassed.

"Little brother, what do you want to tell us?" The eldest brother Tian Zhenwei came over and glared at Jiang Laosi, then asked Tian Yuheng with a smile, "Come over here quickly, it's cold at night, warm yourself by the fire." Then he took Tian Yuheng to sit by the fire in the center of the yard.

"It's like this, Brother Zhenwei. There are some risks in our escort mission. My father didn't say it was inconvenient just now. But you have come all the way here, and I don't want to let you down. So I'll come here to tell you about our situation. If you don't want to go with us after hearing it, that's fine. I'll be grateful too. If you are still willing to go with us after hearing it, we will definitely repay you. In the future, as long as you need it and it doesn't violate morality or law, we will help you."

"Oh, what's going on?" Hearing this, Xu Laoer interrupted curiously.

"It's like this. Our original route today was to take the pipeline, which is another fork in the road leading into the village. The pipeline went on for a few dozen miles and there was a bend in the forest. In the forest, we found a group of people waiting to ambush passers-by. We also found someone monitoring our team at noon. Later, we secretly followed them to check and listened to some of their conversations. We estimated that there were quite a few people on the other side, and they all had knives. There were probably nearly a hundred of them. They didn't seem to be robbing money. This was dangerous. That's why my father wanted to hire a bodyguard."

"That's a lot of people, but we have at least 30-40 brothers. I just don't know how many people you have available." Although Tian Zhenwei was impulsive, he was not brainless, and he would not joke about his brothers' lives.

"In addition to the personal guards who are going to protect my family, we have about 30-40 people who can cooperate with you. So my father hopes that if you can join us, we can go to the town tomorrow to find other escort agencies and gather some people. This way, we will not be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers."

"What is your current strategy? We hope that we don't have to sacrifice our brothers in exchange for your lives." Xu Lao Er asked.

"Then we can split our forces into two groups and attack from both sides to minimize the damage. Your willingness to participate is a great favor to us. We will never sacrifice you in exchange for success."

"What if you can't find a escort in the town, or if you do, there are not enough people. What should you do in this situation?" The question asked by Xu Laoer was very sharp and practical. When they first followed the eldest brother, they thought it might be dangerous, but they didn't expect that the other party would ambush them. Although escorting is also dangerous, they usually don't choose to take high-risk options. The brothers' lives are the first priority. That's why the brothers have been united for so long.

Tian Yuheng remained silent about this question. They had not thought too much about it before and could not give an answer at this time.

"Well, wait a moment. I'll discuss it with my brothers." Tian Zhenwei saw that the atmosphere was not right and started to change the subject, letting Tian Yuheng think about it himself.

"It's as it should be, Brother Zhenwei."

Tian Zhenwei called a group of brothers inside to discuss, "Brothers, I'm afraid someone is targeting Magistrate Tian, ​​the risk is relatively high. Although I am your eldest brother, I don't want to harm everyone because of my own selfishness. If you don't want to do it, stay behind, but we definitely need people in the front."

"Brother Tian's intention is probably to rely on numbers to reduce casualties as much as possible, but we don't know the opponent's strength, so we don't know what the result will be." Xu Lao Er continued to analyze, "I heard before that the plague in Hu County was caused by someone targeting Magistrate Tian. It seems that it is not groundless. I don't know who Magistrate Tian offended."

As soon as Xu Laoer finished speaking, the younger brothers around him began to hesitate.

Tian Zhenwei saw the atmosphere and said directly, "My purpose this time is to follow Lord Tian. My original intention remains unchanged. Brothers also know that our escort agency is different from other places. We respect everyone's choice. Those who are afraid can choose to stay and look after Magistrate Tian and the others. Those who are brave can go with me to kill the enemy."

"What are you talking about, eldest brother? You guys are not good at making trouble. We are with you." The third brother, Xu Shiwen, has a gentle temperament. He is usually the best and easiest to talk to among the four brothers, but he also has his own persistence and opinions. He has the best relationship with the eldest brother.

"Okay, I'm just analyzing the situation for everyone. It's not that you don't want to do it, but let me play as a forward." Although the second brother always speaks aggressively, he usually considers everyone.

"I definitely have no objection." The fourth brother just follows his older brothers and doesn't like to think too much.

"We all agree." The other brothers also expressed their opinions.

"Then let's reply to the younger brother after we've discussed it. You go ahead, big brother." The second brother said lazily.

"Okay, I'm going."

Tian Zhenwei came out and found Tian Yuheng. Seeing that he was still thinking, he said, "Little brother, we brothers agree to help, don't worry, don't think too much."

"Yes, don't think too much."

"Thank you, Brother Zhenwei. We will pay you twice the price you paid before for this escort. For the brothers who died, each of them will receive a pension of 100 taels."

"Hey, that's fine. I was just wanting to tell you this. It doesn't matter to us, but we need to consider the brothers who follow us." The fourth brother suddenly ran out. In fact, the fourth brother knew the needs of the other brothers best. He always made a fool of himself and asked for benefits shamelessly. He also felt that although his eldest brother was good, he could not care about money. People's hearts sometimes still need money to maintain them.

"Of course, if you have anything else to ask me, Brother Jiang Jin, please tell me as soon as possible. Also, regarding the problem of insufficient manpower, I will go back and discuss it with my father and the others, so don't worry."

"I believe you." Tian Zhenwei said.

"Then let's go to the town to look for escorts at 5:00 am tomorrow. Would you like to come with us and see if it's suitable?"

"Okay, we'll go with you tomorrow and we'll go find you."

"It's settled then. I'll be leaving first." After saying that, Tian Yuheng said goodbye to them.

"You're getting itchy again. You really deserve a beating." As soon as Tian Yuheng left, Tian Zhenwei started to teach the fourth brother a lesson.

As soon as Tian Yuyuheng returned to Lao Xu's house, he saw his father, Tian Xing'er and Tian Yuze waiting for him in the yard. The others should have been asleep.

"Let's go to your room and talk." County Magistrate Tian spoke first. Tian Yuheng and Tian Yuze's room was a temporary warehouse, far away from the main house, so it was convenient to talk. Speak softly. Other rooms can't hear you."
