Luo Xi understood, and added to their story, "Maybe with a bit of luck, even if they don't become successful, changing families is still a good option, right?"
"Uh!" Xiao Yi's hair almost stood on end.
This Chief Luo really dares to say anything. I wonder if she actually meant it?
But she was, after all, just a woman!
"Haha, Boss Luo, you're joking. We're just looking for a place to make a living. We don't dare to think about anything else." Xiao Yi laughed it off. "I just wonder if Boss Luo would be willing to give us a meal?"
Of course, Roche agreed.
We can't be afraid of everything just because we have a little doubt.
"If you dare to come, I naturally dare to take you in."
In the end, Luo Xi directly instructed Yin Li, a scholar, to entertain the people who came to the manor for refuge, but the management of the warehouse was still entrusted to Zhou Cang.
As for Xiao Yi, since he had quite a few underlings, he was directly asked to build a barracks, so that their Chaoyang Manor should also have its own armed forces.
As for the people, they would be selected from those who came to seek refuge. The pay was five taels of silver more than that for farming, and food and lodging would be provided. They could choose freely.
She can't always have to rush in and do everything by herself, or rely on the Red Mansion for help, can she?
At this point, Yin Li and Xiao Yi could be considered members of Chaoyang Manor, and they immediately and obediently changed their address: "Greetings, Chief."
Rosie sat firmly in the main seat and accepted their greetings.
Rong Bai felt a pang of jealousy; he had arrived even earlier than these people.
Is his third-in-command going to fly away?
After exchanging greetings, Yin Li suddenly said, "Boss, we may need to make some preparations."
He began to tell Luo Xi about the news that many mountain strongholds in Nanyue County had gathered together and were preparing to attack Chaoyang Manor.
"The leader's surname is Zhao. He has gathered almost all the outlaws of Nanyue County, and there are at least ten thousand of them."
“Surname Zhao?” Luo Xi went through the people in her mind and soon remembered: “He is a very strange person. His warehouse is full of grain, but he drinks porridge and eats wild vegetables every day.”
"It took Jiuxian and me a long time to move all those supplies."
This guy is so eccentric, Luo Xi has a pretty deep impression of him.
“Then he must hate the boss very much,” Yin Li said candidly.
They had painstakingly stockpiled a lot of stuff, only to have it all wiped out. No wonder they swore to kill the boss.
"That's the right thing to do." If anyone dared to treat her like that, Luo Xi would probably hate them even more and be even more ruthless.
"Is that right?" Rong Bai muttered to himself, "They have tens of thousands of people, while we have quite a few people, but they are all ordinary people who can't even kill a chicken."
"If they were to charge back and forth like this, half the people in the manor would die."
Xiao Yi and Yin Li looked over: "Boss, who is this?"
“Gu Heizi, my personal servant.” Luo Xi glanced at Rong Bai: “Who told you we were going to wait here for them to rush over?”
Others: "..."
"So, what do you mean, Chief?"
Luo Xi stroked his chin: "Just wait and see what happens."
Xiao Yi and Yin Li exchanged a glance, but neither of them said anything.
Back at their lodgings, Xiao Yi voiced his doubts: "Strategist, do you think Chief Luo really has a plan? She seems so confident."
“This guy surnamed Zhao has tens of thousands of men, all of whom are used to being bandits. Chaoyang Manor is no match for them.”
“She might be planning to send someone to ambush us along the way.” After thinking for a while, Yin Li gave his best idea: “If we add the Red Mansion assassins to the mix, we might not necessarily lose.”
"So, she knows military strategy?" Xiao Yi was a little incredulous: "But she's just a young woman in her early twenties?"
Young lady, it's already good enough that you can read.
Yin Li shook the feather fan in her hand and smiled: "My lord, you must remember, never underestimate anyone, including women."
There are mountains beyond mountains, buildings beyond buildings; there are many things and people we can't even imagine.
"As far as I know, many prominent families, such as the Right Chancellor's family, are well-read regardless of gender. There is also the General Yuezheng's family, which has even produced a female general whose military skills are in no way inferior to those of men."
Xiao Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he replied, "Yes, strategist, Yi understands."
Xiao Yi and the others' conversation was instantly relayed to Luo Xi: "This Yin Li is quite clever and knowledgeable."
“But we might not be of the same mind as you.” Jiuxian plunged a knife into her chest: “I’m sure that if you lose, they’ll run off to someone else.”
Luo Xi took a sip of tea and looked at him: "I remember when we first met, you didn't go through fire and water for me, did you?"
Nine strings fell silent instantly.
Rong Bai, however, became more animated: "Boss, I, I, I'd do anything for you right now, even go through fire and water, so you see..."
He grinned at Luo Xi: "The matter of the third leader..."
Luo Xi was quite adept at dealing with someone like him: "Third Master, it's not impossible... Once you've been burned to ashes, I'll definitely appoint you as Third Master."
"Would you like to give it a try?"
A county magistrate, not only did he sneak into the mountain resort to do odd jobs, but he also wanted to join the group and become the leader?
Is it really just for fun?
Liu Xiaoyu laughed so hard she almost fell over: "Yes, yes, Gu Heizi, only when you get things done can you rightfully sit in the third position, right? Why don't you give it a try?"
Trying to gain benefits just by being sweet-talking? Dream on.
With her around, that scoundrel won't be able to fool his master.
Rong Bai: "..."
If he turns to ashes, will he still be the third-in-command?
He's not stupid.
When they returned to the county government office, Rong Bai was still fuming and began to complain to Li Jin about what had happened that day.
