The next morning, after the two of them met up, they brought a total of ten guards in ten carriages toward Lion Camel Ridge.
“Haha! Brother Gu is finally here!” Tiger laughed heartily when he saw them. “I’ve been waiting for you for days!”
“I have no choice. Qianzhou Province has been a bit lively recently. I have to make way for you.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he introduced Yang Zeheng to him.
“Greetings, Prince Xian.” Tiger was stunned for a moment and quickly bowed.
“Get up. Chengrui has praised you a lot along the way for your righteousness.” Yang Zeheng smiled and helped him up.
“Brother Gu, you flatter me. The people on the mountain are all brothers in distress. I’ll help whoever I can.”
“This is already rare. At least, it’s better than those officials in Qianzhou.”
“If you put it that way, I must admit that the officials of Qianzhou are just a bunch of animals.”
After returning to the stronghold, Tiger immediately ordered all the meat to be cooked and gathered all the brothers in the stronghold.
Only then did he bring them into the meeting hall.
!!..
“Brother, has it been peaceful on the mountain recently?” Gu Chengrui asked politely after sitting down.
“It has. I got rid of those with spies, and they’re all obedient now.”
“That’s good. Have you discussed the matter with your brothers?”
“We discussed it.
“There are about 7,000 people on the mountain.
“After the disaster, about 5,000 people came up the mountain. Most of them were homeless disaster victims who planned to go home and continue farming.
“There are more than 2,000 bachelors.
“Most of them wanted to go to the military camp to gain experience.
“There is also a small group of about 200 people who want to go out and open a bodyguard agency to do some serious business. Can a marquis have a hundred private soldiers or guards?” asked Tiger.
Gu Chengrui looked at Yang Zeheng. He was really not sure about this.
Yang Zeheng nodded. “There is indeed such a rule. Why do you want to follow Gu Chengrui?”
“After the disaster, I’m afraid I’m homeless, even if I want to go home now.
“Therefore, we and our direct descendants might as well follow the Marquis and protect him as he spreads the vaccine smoothly.
“As for whether or not we can stay with you in the end, it depends on my lord’s wishes.” Tiger nodded.
“Do you know that guards are also family slaves?” Yang Zeheng asked in surprise.
“I know. A person’s life is only a few decades. It’s worth it to be able to do something meaningful.”
Yang Zeheng looked at Gu Chengrui with admiration. They had only met twice, but he had already conquered a prominent bandit leader. He was really impressed.
Gu Chengrui was also very surprised. He nodded and replied. “Just like you said, let’s promote the vaccine first.”
“I will also strictly restrict you along the way.
“After this is over, if you can stand this kind of restricted life, then sign a contract and come home with me.
“If you can’t accept it, I’ll arrange another place for you guys. What do you think?”
“No problem, then it’s settled.
“We can take advantage of the food and wine you brought to have a good gathering. Tomorrow, we will start splitting our travel expenses and disband.”
“Admirable, bold, and decisive. I’m a little envious of Chengrui now.” Yang Zeheng gave Tiger a thumbs up.
“You flatter me; please sit while I go outside and greet my brothers.” After Tiger finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
After he left, Gu Chengrui looked at Lin Yitian and the others. “Go out and take a walk. Keep an eye on them. See if any people don’t mean what they say..”
