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

Soon Jia Dazuo said goodbye to his friends, and a group of people sent them to the county town. When they arrived at the county town, everyone else had left. Tian Xing'er found a bodyguard in the county town and hired about 30 people to accompany them north.

As the escort team was about to leave the county, Tian Zhenwei reminded them, "It will take at least 7-8 days to get to the next county. We need to buy the necessary dry food and supplies."

"Okay, then if anyone needs anything, please come here and tell Baozhu. We will finish shopping as soon as possible today and set off tomorrow." Tian Xing'er ordered everyone to report what other supplies they needed in case they ran out of supplies along the way.

"Baozhu, go to the fireworks store in the county and buy me some more fireworks. All kinds of them, cheap and expensive. Buy 40-50 taels. And some local specialties. We have to take a detour to visit several counties we pass by anyway. Just make some money while you're at it."

"Okay, Miss, but will anyone buy so many fireworks? Aren't they the same everywhere? Here we have more varieties, and we can ask Mr. Jia to make them for us."

"I can't bear to sell the fireworks made by Master Jia to others. I want to keep them for myself and take them to the north. Well, why are you so talkative? Go buy some. When you come back, let Baoyu keep a record for you."

"Got it, miss, I'll go then."

The next day, the group set out and walked for about two days before arriving at a forest. The woods on both sides were deep and dense, with no end in sight. "Everyone be careful, follow the team closely and don't get separated. Report any abnormalities in time," Tian Zhenwei reminded everyone again.

"Captain Tian, ​​you seem to be very familiar with this area." When Captain Chen saw Tian Zhenwei telling the team to be careful, he came forward to talk. He was the escort of this escort agency found in the county. Although he had suffered losses before, Tian Xing'er felt that it was aimed at her father, and she did not deserve the treatment of assassination. Besides, no one dared to deal with her father now, and her father should be in the north soon, so there was no need to be afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake.

"Well, my brothers and I walked this road a few years ago and almost got into trouble. We are a lot of people now, so we don't have to be afraid, but we are still afraid of something happening, so it's better to be careful."

"Captain Tian is right. I will instruct my men to keep it in mind."

Soon it was dark, and Jiang Jin went to explore the way ahead and came back, "Brother, I looked around. The area ahead is in a better location and more hidden. The trees around are easy to climb. If there is any problem, some people can directly hide in the trees. It's a bit far from the water source, and the prey in the forest usually won't take that path. I didn't see any large animal feces nearby."

"Okay, let's choose that place. You lead the way."

"Uncle Tian, ​​this forest looks very big. Will there be wild boars, snakes, insects, etc. at night?"

"It's very likely. We have bought enough insect repellent powder and will sprinkle it wherever we camp. We will light torches at night. We will take turns with Chen Biaotou to be on duty at night. Chen Biaotou, what do you think?" Tian Zhenwei turned to Chen Biaotou.

"Captain Tian's arrangements are very good. We will listen to you. We have never been to this area and don't know it well. We can only rely on Captain Tian." Captain Chen still has faith in Tian Zhenwei. He has also heard of the reputation of Tian Zhenwei's escort agency, which is one of the best in Jiangnan.

"Okay, let's get ready to set up camp."

Soon the team stopped and set up camp. The servants went to fetch water and collect firewood to make a fire and prepare to cook.

Tian Xing'er ran to find Jia Dazuo's family and said, "Jia Dazuo, are you used to the journey? If you need anything, just tell us. Don't be polite. If you feel uncomfortable, you should also tell us as soon as possible. I have also hired a doctor this time, Doctor Liu, you can find him."

"We are not unaccustomed to it. It's just that we haven't been in such a long carriage for a long time. We are a little tired. We just need to rest tonight." Jia Dazuo didn't complain. He looked at the arrangements made by Tian Xing'er and his group. They were well-organized and cautious, and he was relieved about this long journey.

"I'm a little worried. Are we safe tonight? Will there be wolves or something?" Jia Xin suddenly interrupted. He was worried about his parents' safety.

"Don't worry, I've asked Uncle Tian, ​​and he says there are no bandits in this area. You can rest assured. I just heard that there were a few bandits here before."

"Ah, then why are we still here tonight? Why don't we walk at night and sleep during the day?"

"Don't worry too much. Uncle Tian said that the other side has less than half as many people as us. To him, those people are very simple and there is no need to be afraid." Tian Xing'er said proudly.

"It's better to be careful." Jia Xin still didn't dare to be too reassured and reminded.

"Well, that's natural. We will make arrangements, don't worry. We also have secret weapons, don't be afraid."

"What secret weapon?"

"You'll know later. Anyway, you don't have to worry. My uncle Tian's men can fight ten people at a time. Plus we have so many bodyguards, we are not afraid of anyone." Tian Xing'er said confidently to Jia Xin.

After hearing this, Jia Xin had no choice but to nod, half believing and half doubting.

At night, Tian Zhenwei and his men suddenly woke up in shock and went to check around. Then everyone in the team woke up, including the Jia family members.

"What happened? Xin'er, go and ask Girl Tian and the others." asked Aunt Jia.

"Okay, mom, I'll be there right away. You guys stay hidden and don't come out." Jia Xin immediately put on his coat and got up from the tent to look for Tian Zhenwei and the others, but he couldn't find them, so he asked the other guards, "What's going on? Why are all the escort leaders missing? Why are all of you up?"

"There seems to be a sound of fighting ahead. Our escort leader and Tian Biaotou and others have gone to check it out."

"Why didn't I hear it?" Jia Xin asked curiously.

"How can you ordinary people hear it? But we little ones didn't hear it either, hehe."

"Then you still have the nerve to say that to me."

"Hehehe." The guards also laughed awkwardly. "Oh, look, the escort leader and his men are back."

"Oh, it's true. I'll go greet them." When Jia Xin saw Tian Zhenwei and the others appear in his sight, he ran up to ask, "Brother Chen, Brother Tian, ​​what's wrong with you? Is there a problem ahead?"

"Well, there are some problems. There is a group of people there who were driven here by the robbers. But they are not going to our side. Our side is still safe for the time being. But looking at those people, there are many elderly, weak, women and children. The rest of the people don't have much ability to fight against the robbers. It's a bit pitiful." Tian Zhenwei told Jia Xin the situation seriously.

"Ah, there really are robbers in this forest! Then, will they come to catch us in the middle of the night?"

"No, they don't have the guts. Judging from the situation, they should have passed us by in the daytime. We have more people and most of them are young and strong. They dare not attack us. But the team that was driven away was not so lucky." Chen Biaotou analyzed.

"Well, should we rescue them? Didn't you say that there are a lot of elderly, weak, women and children there?" Jia Xin felt relieved knowing that nothing would happen to them, so he wanted to see if he could help the people over there.
