"Impossible. One hundred thousand taels in one month. This is impossible..."
"Son-in-law, I'm not questioning you, but..."
Ye Hu's face was full of disbelief: "One hundred thousand taels, it's really too much!"
One hundred thousand silvers, what does that mean?!
An ordinary family in Linshui County could support a family of three with only five or six taels of silver per month.
The largest chamber of commerce in Qingzhou only makes a profit of several hundred thousand silver coins a year.
However, what Su Luo said is not without reason, money can move people's hearts.
When the Holy Ancestor of Daxia founded the country, it would not have been so smooth if it had not been for the support of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.
Thinking of this, he looked at Su Luo deeply and suddenly said, "Don't mention 100,000 taels. I'll give you a month. If you can earn 50,000 taels, I'll treat you as my real son-in-law in the future."
"My life is yours."
This is what Su Luo wanted. He smiled and said, "It's a deal."
Ye Hu frowned and stared at Su Luo, as if trying to see from that handsome face what cards Su Luo had.
Only then would one say such a fantastic thing.
But Su Luo had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and his eyes were as calm as ever, as if nothing could cause ripples in them.
Ye Hu suddenly had an idea. Maybe it could really work?
But then he himself felt ridiculous, one hundred thousand taels a month... no, fifty thousand taels.
If Su Luo really had such ability, how could he be forced into this state by the Marquis's wife?
However, since Si Mingyu trusts Su Luo, Ye Hu can only give it a try.
"Okay, it's a deal then..."
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, "Oh no, someone is coming!"
"Besides, there are quite a few of them!"
Su Luo also noticed that the ground was shaking slightly, indicating that a group of people on horseback were approaching with great force.
Moreover, there are quite a few of them.
Su Luo frowned and felt it carefully for a moment: "At least, more than fifty people!"
"This is... the Su family guards have come to get support?!"
"What a fast speed! I thought they would wait until we got to Xiaoyun Village, but I didn't expect them to come back so quickly!"
Ye Hu glanced at Su Luo when he heard the voice. Although he was surprised why Su Luo could judge the number of people so specifically, at this moment he could only choose to believe it.
"With so many people here on horseback, they are most likely bandits from nearby mountains!"
"If that's the case, it will be difficult for us to break out..."
Ye Hu's face looked a little ugly. If they were really bandits, the other party would not only have an advantage in numbers, but also in combat power!
After all, although the combat effectiveness of the thirty or so people he brought with him was not low, they had experienced too much fighting along the way!
Nowadays, everyone is tired and exhausted!
In a hurry, he gritted his teeth and said, "Son-in-law, you take the young lady and the others away first, and I and Shen Lao San will cover the rear!"
"No..." Su Luo refused immediately.
Ye Hu said anxiously: "It's okay. We are here to save the young lady! We are ready to lose our lives!"
"Besides, we have been fighting all the way, and we may not die here!"
"On the contrary, Master, if you hesitate any longer, once those bandits arrive, it will be even more difficult to break through..."
Su Luo still didn't agree, and said: "It's because you guys have been fighting all the way, so I think it's not possible!"
"First of all, we don't know whether these fifty-plus people are all or just a part of the bandits. What if some of the bandits have already taken a detour to the front?!"
"Letting you stay here to cover our retreat would be a meaningless sacrifice. You must die if you deserve to die!"
Ye Hu glared: "What should we do?!"
Shen Lao San in front also noticed something was wrong, and came over at this time, his face extremely solemn: "What happened to you?"
Ye Hu told him what happened. Upon hearing this, Shen Lao San also became a little panicked: "Bandits... There is a Langya Mountain nearby. The bandits there are extremely brutal!"
"If we fall into their hands, we...will all die horribly!"
Ye Hu's expression became increasingly ugly.
Obviously, he had also heard of the notoriety of the Langya Mountain bandits.
"Don't panic!"
Su Luo said in a deep voice: "I will be in charge!"
"Uncle Hu, find a few people and go take a look at the specific situation first!"
At this moment, he completely understood. It seemed that the wife of the Marquis' Mansion was really vicious and cruel. Not only did she arrange coachmen and guards, but she also used the Langya Mountain bandits as a backup!
Ye Hu hesitated.
Su Luo looked at Shen Lao San again, "Uncle Shen San...you, take Si Mingyu and my other wives, and walk in front first!"
"If there are no ambushes ahead, then go to Xiaoyun Village first!"
Shen Lao San frowned: "But..."
Ye Hu looked at Su Luo and asked, "What about you?"
Su Luo raised his hand and picked up a long knife, which was the "trophy" he got after killing the Su family's coachman.
It was stained with blood, which was extremely eye-catching.
"These people should be here soon. They are strong and well-equipped. We can't run away."
Su Luo said calmly: "Then I will stay and knock on their door with them."
Ye Hu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in a lost voice: "No, this is too dangerous!"
Su Luo smiled and said, "It is definitely dangerous, but if I don't stay, how can I expect others to fight for me?"
"Uncle Tiger, I told you, I will be in charge this time!"
