Chapter 231



"Well, we are all willing!" Sheng Tiance became even more excited when he said this, and took a few steps towards his younger sister.

"Little sister, you don't know. Xue Huai didn't come alone today. He was accompanied by five brothers who worked together. I won't mention that my cousin has a photographic memory and a quick mind. The rest of them also look quite smart. I think they are all rare talents."

"We witnessed the disgraceful behavior of King Kang's guards at the Mobei Pass yesterday when the Western Rong attacked, and now we have completely lost hope in the court. I heard that Xue Huai's wife met you by chance yesterday, so we came here to ask if we can be taken in and do some odd jobs."

"But they never thought that we wanted to recruit them as guards directly, and the salary was four or five times that of ordinary guards, and more than ten times higher than what they earned as part-time workers. These guys are so happy that they are not willing to do it."

"However..." Sheng Tiance paused and looked at his younger sister uncertainly.

"They said they could mobilize a few more brothers to follow us, probably more than a dozen in total. They are all strong and honest people who are willing to work with us. But they hope that their whole family, young and old, can also follow us northward."

"It is said that there are many women in our family who are skillful and hardworking. Many women can earn some income just by doing handicrafts. If we agree to let them go north with us, they can help my mother and grandmother do many odd jobs on weekdays."

"I thought that you particularly valued Xue Huai's talent, so I nodded in agreement on your behalf."

Good, good, good! Sheng Nanxi knew that it would be right to leave this matter to the fifth brother!

She remembered that these people were not ordinary people. In the early days of Xue Huai's uprising, he relied on the concerted efforts of a dozen brothers around him to fight the enemy and build a foundation.

It is said that some women in the families of the rebels were very capable, and took the initiative to share the logistics work with their sisters. The women of the rebel army contributed to the complicated and trivial matters such as the distribution of food and grass, sewing clothes and armor.

Moreover, in ancient times, the family would generally be responsible for settling the families of the guards, one reason being to reassure people, and the other to prevent those with ulterior motives from threatening the families of the guards and forcing them to defect.

Now that they have accepted all of these people, including their families, isn't it equivalent to gaining an elite team with a promising future and who are only loyal to their family? !

Sheng Nanxi also knew that the family relationships of ancient people were complicated, and farmers generally would not leave home easily. The reason why these people agreed to follow her so easily must be that Xue Huai saw some clues yesterday and persuaded the brothers to follow the Sheng family and fight for a bright future together.

But so what? Compared to a subordinate who just obeys blindly, she prefers this kind of mutually beneficial relationship. And she also believes in her own strength. As long as Xue Huai and others follow her family for a while, they will understand how wise her decision was.

Sheng Nanxi stretched out her chubby little hand and gave Fifth Brother a thumbs up.

"Well, let's pretend to be caravan followers and follow us north. These families may need some time to pack their belongings before they can set off. You can leave a few people here to meet them. In a few days, you can lead them to catch up with us."

Sheng Nanxi was so happy that she picked out a piece of the most neatly cut goat milk cream and handed it to Sheng Tiance:

"Great job, Fifth Brother! Reward you, 궝!"

"Okay~" Sheng Tiance smiled and took a bite of the pastry that Xiao Xier handed to him.

놛 seldom eats sweets on weekdays. But for some reason, when I saw Xiao Xier holding cakes with her chubby little hands and passing them to 놛's mouth, I suddenly felt an appetite.

Even the cakes that I usually think are greasy have a different flavor.

"Hmm~ The cakes Xier picked for her brother are more fragrant than ordinary cakes."

When he smiled, his lips were slightly wrinkled, adding some youthful vigor to his originally stern face. When he looked at his younger sister, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Okay, hurry up and eat. Everything will get cold soon, and eating outside is bad for your stomach."

Sheng Tiance reached out and tested the temperature of the half bowl of porridge in front of the little girl. Feeling it was a little cold, he condensed his internal energy in his palm to heat the porridge a little.

After the little girl finished her meal and the whole family had packed up, it was almost noon again, so the family decided to set off early.

After they had some food, they said goodbye to the farmers where they were staying and set out on their journey to the north.

The outbreak of the disease in Yun County was an excuse for King Kang and others to block the city. Now that King Kang's faction has completely fallen, the road ahead has been unblocked, and the Sheng family no longer has to take a detour.

Many vehicles were forced to stay here because of the road closure. Now that the road closure has been lifted, there is a constant stream of vehicles on the official road, and the speed of travel is much slower than before.

Now that the little girl's affairs have all been settled, the Sheng family has no intention of going into the city to join in the hustle and bustle, so they can just pass by Yunru County and go straight along the North Straight Road.

As expected, when they had just driven three miles outside the north city gate, they saw several familiar cars beside the Songjun Pavilion.

"Third Master, Fifth Master, my Miss ꆇ has been waiting here for a long time and hopes to talk to you. Don't worry, Miss ꆇ has already sent people to clear the nearby bushes and will never let idle people get close to this place."

Xinggui, who was driving the carriage, saw someone waving at him from a distance, so he had to stop the carriage slowly. Then he saw a person dressed as a grandmother bowing to the Sheng family's convoy.

Then a man was seen walking slowly towards the opposite carriage.

Isn't it the pregnant Wang Sirou? !

Sheng Nanxi was sleeping soundly in her mother's arms. When she heard the noise, she opened the car curtain a little and looked outside.

She noticed that the other party had changed Wang Sirou's address from Princess Kang to Miss 꺶, and she thought that the girl must have figured it out long ago and was no longer obsessed with the scumbag.

Moreover, the other party knew that the Sheng family was also traveling with them, but he only asked to see the third and fifth brothers. He probably thought that there were many people coming and going on the official road, and even if the area was cleared, it did not mean it was absolutely safe. That's why he only let the third and fifth brothers, who had already been exposed to the public, go, so as not to bring trouble to the others.

She is a very considerate woman...

Sheng Nanxi couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She turned her eyes around but couldn't find Wang Xuran.

Hey! Miss Wang Si looks so silly, how come she is a person who keeps her promises? If not, she would have heard the barking of the third brother's dog every now and then today!

The little girl's gossip was extinguished so easily. She immediately became listless again and waved her hands to her side.

"Since you two are called, go quickly. Miss Wang is still pregnant, don't keep her waiting for too long."

Everyone in the Sheng family was now used to listening to the little girl's orders. After hearing her say this, the two brothers looked at each other and stepped out of the carriage.

Sheng Nanxi was really exhausted last night and has not recovered yet. Seeing that she had nothing to do, she snuggled into her mother's arms and found a comfortable position, squinting her eyes and listening to the conversation outside.

Actually, it was nothing, except that they not only saved Huangshabao from danger last night, but also saved Wang Yun and other generals. Wang Sirou was grateful for the kindness of the Sheng family, and thought that the items that were hastily delivered last night were not complete enough, so she asked her hands to prepare several trucks of goods overnight for them to take with them.

It includes cold-resistant clothing suitable for the whole family, various durable foods, and various practical items that will be used for camping outdoors.

From various types of thick leather for tents, portable camping chairs, cooking utensils for various purposes, to needles and thread for mending clothes, and various toys suitable for three-year-olds... there is everything.

Moreover, these vehicles all have the Wang family's logo on them. I'm sure many people in Southern Qi would give them some respect when they see them, so as to avoid being harassed when they pass through the city in the future.

As usual, Sheng Tiance and Sheng Yichen accepted the gifts and thanked Wang Sirou again and again before leaving with her.

Wang Sirou looked at the Sheng family's convoy moving further and further away. She stood for a long time before slowly getting into the car and having someone drive her back to Yunru County.

The carriage did not drive back to the palace, but stopped at the wall of Yunji County.

Wang Sirou walked slowly up to the city gate observation tower, and indeed saw a figure lying on the observation hole, looking furtively into the distance.

She couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle for a while, then she quietly walked forward and patted Wang Xuran on the shoulder:

"You're still looking after everyone has gone far away? If you look again, you'll see that Qiu Shui is staring through me!"
