After Sun Hao went to the barracks of the Third Brigade of the Left Guard of the Ganyang Army to meet his biological father Sun Zhe, he returned to the Xinglong Casino under the protection of Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.
When Taishi Ci saw Sun Hao coming back, he immediately came up to him and said, "Young Master, the big house on Taoxi Street and the house next door are almost ready. When do you think we should move in?"
With the arrival of Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and two hundred and fifty-six "level eighty" warriors, the backyard of Xinglong Casino could no longer accommodate them, so Sun Hao decided to move to the big house on Taoxi Street.
The mansion had four large courtyards, sixteen small courtyards and 220 houses, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
In addition, there is a house next door that was originally under the name of Luo Xiu. Now the name on the title deed has been changed to Sun Hao. Although this house is smaller, it also has nearly a hundred houses.
The two mansions together can easily accommodate more than a thousand people.
Taoxi Street, located in Dongerfang, has no shops and is lined with houses on both sides, so it is not within the gang's sphere of influence. Sun Hao has no problem moving there.
Sun Hao nodded perfunctorily and said, "Then let's move there as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Sun Hao's expression was a little strange, Taishi Ci turned his head to look at Qin Qiong who was following Sun Hao.
Qin Qiong sighed and said, "General Sun will be joining the army to rescue Shuoyuan City the day after tomorrow, but I'm afraid this expedition will be quite dangerous."
Qin Qiong then briefly told Taishi Ci about the situation faced by the left and right guards of the Ganyang Army on this expedition.
After listening to this, Taishi Ci hesitated for a moment and said to Sun Hao, "Young Master, why don't I lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry or the Western Liang Iron Cavalry and follow General Sun on the expedition?
Even if the left and right guards of the Ganyang Army are defeated by the Xiongnu cavalry, I have the confidence to escort General Sun back to Ganyang City."
Upon hearing this, Sun Hao immediately waved his hand and said, "I have already promised to give my father fifty Anlu horses, and let him select brave men to form fifty heavy cavalrymen.
Compared to his indifference to me for the past ten years, I think I have done enough.
What's more, even if I am willing to send some brothers to help him rescue Shuoyuan City, he may not dare to accept it.
General Cao of the Ganyang Army asked me to borrow four cavalrymen and two squads of heavy infantry, but I refused."
Seeing that Sun Hao's attitude was very firm, Taishi Ci no longer mentioned the matter of protecting Sun Zhe.
Taishi Ci then changed the subject, "Master, Song Peng, the head of the Song Clan, is here with his son Song Hui."
When Luo Xiu set up the trap, Song Hui suddenly owed a gambling debt of 100,000 strings of cash. Now, with the interest compounding, this debt has become 172,800 strings of cash this month.
Although the borrower's name on the IOU written by Song Hui was Luo Xiu, as long as the IOU was in Sun Hao's hands, Song Hui had no way to default on the debt. Even if he went to the provincial government to sue, Song Hui would definitely lose.
After Sun Hao met Song Peng and Song Hui, father and son, he found that they were both very handsome. Even Song Peng, who was in his forties, looked elegant and graceful.
Sun Hao's appearance can only be described as ordinary. Compared with this father and son, the difference is huge.
However, Song Peng and Song Hui were very humble towards Sun Hao. Song Peng even asked Song Hui to kneel down in front of Sun Hao.
Sun Hao looked at Song Hui kneeling on the ground, frowning slightly, "It is only natural to pay back debts.
Don't think that just because Luo Xiu is dead, you can default on your gambling debts."
Song Peng hurriedly said, "Master Sun, my father and I definitely don't want to default on our debt, but we really can't afford the 172,800 strings of cash.
However, I have already modified the contracts of the six leading actresses of our Song Clan according to Mr. Luo... Luo Xiu's wishes. I hope to use these six to offset all the gambling debts and interest owed by my son."
"Modify? What does that mean?" Sun Hao asked with some confusion.
Song Peng immediately explained, "Master Sun, the contracts signed by a Liangqu troupe like ours are different from the indentures used in brothels and prostitutes. They are not as binding."
Song Peng then gave a wry smile and said, "For the sake of my disappointing son, I had no choice but to resort to some trickery and trick the six leading actresses of our Song Clan into signing contracts to sell their bodies, much like those found in brothels or whorehouses."
Sun Hao took the six indentures handed over by Song Peng, looked at them, and then slowly said, "I need to meet the six leading actresses of your Song family troupe first to see if they are worth 172,800 strings of cash."
At this time, Song Hui, who was kneeling on the ground, said in a flattering manner: "Don't worry, Master Sun, my six junior sisters are all very beautiful and will never let you down."
The six leading actresses of the Song Family Class are indeed very beautiful, but only one of them has a charm value of 90 points, and the charm values of the other five are between 80 and 89 points.
Although no one met the task requirements of the "annual contract system", Sun Hao also agreed to let Song Peng and Song Hui, father and son, use these six people to pay off the debt.
It was not until this time that the six leading actresses realized that the troupe owner Song Peng, their master's husband, had actually tricked them into signing that kind of indenture.
However, how could six weak women who could only sing Liangqu resist a gangster like Sun Hao?
Fortunately, Sun Hao's subsequent arrangements made these six leading actresses feel relieved. At least Sun Hao did not let them fall into prostitution.
Sun Hao directly awarded these six leading actresses to Taishi Ci, Pang De, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guan Sheng and Lin Chong.
All those who are summoned to the real world by the "Annual Signature System" are no different from normal people. They will also experience birth, old age, sickness and death, and have seven emotions and six desires.
Now that Sun Hao already has six concubines at home, he feels that he has an obligation to give each of his brothers at least one beautiful concubine.
So Sun Hao quickly began to buy a large number of beautiful prostitutes from various brothels in Ganyang City, and then distributed these prostitutes to his subordinates.
On the morning of June 17, 387 in the Daliang calendar, 40,000 soldiers from the left and right guards of the Ganyang Army, and 10,000 young and strong victims who helped transport food and fodder, left Ganyang City in a mighty procession under the leadership of Cao Tingjin, the Grand Commander of the Ganyang Protectorate.
Since Cao Tingjin brought all three battalions of his family soldiers, plus the six sons of generals from the Left Guard and the Right Guard, the number of family soldiers around him increased more or less.
The actual number of troops that the Ganyang Army deployed this time, not counting the 10,000 young and strong disaster victims who were escorting food and fodder, exceeded 50,000.
The vanguard commander Meng Bingrong and the rearguard commander Liu Yin stood on the city wall of the Beiyang Gate of Ganyang City, looking at the tens of thousands of troops marching away. Both of them had very solemn expressions on their faces.
"Brother Meng, do you think the Huaide Army and the Zhenrong Army will send troops?"
"Sending troops should be no problem. I'm just worried that the Huaide Army and the Zhenrong Army will just deal with it, leaving our Ganyang Army to face 300,000 Xiongnu cavalry alone!"
Liu Yin then smiled bitterly and said, "I hope our General Cao won't act rashly, otherwise these tens of thousands of soldiers will... Sigh..."
