Mu Siyu burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, big brother, for saving me."
"Just think of it as equal to the money and food you gave me these days."
The beggar's voice was extremely cold.
"You obviously have such good skills, why..." Mu Siyu said curiously, but when she saw the beggar's unkind eyes, she shut up in time: "Thank you anyway. You are so powerful, do you want to be my husband's attendant?"
?I will give you ten taels of silver every month."
The beggar walked past Mu Siyu.
Seeing his refusal, Mu Siyu's eyes were full of disappointment.
The beggar was so skilled. If he could serve as Lu Yi's bodyguard, Lu Yi's safety would be guaranteed. However, the temper of such a master was so weird that he would rather be a beggar than a high-paid follower.
Suddenly, a carriage drove past.
There were many guards behind the carriage, all of them murderous. It was obvious that the people in the carriage were not ordinary people.
When Mu Siyu saw these people, she recognized one of them as one of the executioners she saw on the mountain yesterday. At that time, he raised his sword and killed him very neatly.
"I won't be your husband's attendant, but..." the beggar stopped and said, "I can follow you."
Mu Siyu: "..."
The carriage has gone far.
The beggar looked back at her: "Is that okay?"
"I am a country woman and I don't need a capable attendant like you by my side." Mu Siyu said.
The beggar looked at the men next to him: "I think you need it more than your husband."
"How about you help me throw these people to the county government office? I just go to the county government office to find my husband. I can ask him how he is doing?"
Mu Siyu really couldn't bear to let go of such a capable assistant, so she had to keep the person first and then ask Lu Yi what he wanted. Lu Yi was so powerful, if he wanted to keep someone, maybe the person would fall under his charm.
Down.
"Um."
Outside the county government office, Gao Yamen took several gangsters who caused trouble into prison.
Lu Yi came over after hearing the news.
He looked worried. When he arrived, he first checked to see if she was injured. When he saw no obvious blood stains, he felt more at ease.
"Are you okay?"
"Thankfully, this big brother saved me." Mu Siyu introduced the beggar brother behind him to Lu Yi.
The beggar raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Yi, but said nothing.
"Thank you, knight."
"There is no need to thank me. Your wife gave me a lot of food and money. These are just rewards." After the beggar finished speaking, he looked at Mu Siyu and said, "Ask your husband if it is okay. If not, I will leave."
Mu Siyu made a calm gesture.
She pulled Lu Yi to a corner and told him the general story.
Lu Yi looked back at the beggar.
"Let me say a few words to him first." Lu Yi turned back to her and said, "Wait for me here, and then make a decision after I talk to him."
"good."
Lu Yi and the beggar talked for a while. The beggar's face was covered by his hair, and his expression could not be seen. Lu Yi's expression was quite serious, almost as if he was talking, and the beggar occasionally responded.
Finally, Lu Yi waved to Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu walked over: "How is it?"
"Brother Xia can stay as your bodyguard." Lu Yi said, "This way I can rest assured that you can go in and out of the city."
"Be mine?" Mu Siyu looked at the beggar, then at Lu Yi: "With Brother Xia's skills, I will have a better future if I follow you."
"I don't want a future." Xia Kun said calmly: "I just need a place to provide food and clothing."
"Okay then!" Mu Siyu touched her cheek: "But it would be much better if there is someone by your side to help you. How about I go to the dental shop to buy someone?"
"What kind of person are you looking for?" Xia Kun said calmly: "Do you want someone who is fifteen years old, knows a few words, and is quite smart?"
"Brother Xia, is there anyone you know who you would like to introduce?" Lu Yi understood.
"Yeah. I know someone."
"Okay." Lu Yi smiled lightly: "Then I'll trouble Brother Xia."
"Wait here." After Xia Kun finished speaking, he left from where he was.
As soon as he left, Mu Siyu couldn't help but ask: "What did you say? Why didn't you persuade him to follow you? He is really very skilled. If he follows you, he will definitely help you a lot."
"He doesn't want to." Lu Yi took out the kettle from his arms and handed it to her: "Drink some water."
"I'm not thirsty." Mu Siyu refused, and then said: "With your intelligence, if you want him to stay, there must be a way."
"This man doesn't like the government." Lu Yi said: "While we were talking, he looked at the county government signboard from time to time. There was only disgust and irritability in his eyes. It is impossible for him to follow me in and out of the county government office."
"So that's it. Then aren't you worried that he is a bad guy?"
"With his skills, if he is really a bad person, he would not have been a beggar for so long. This man looks like a beggar, but he is very graceful in his movements. He is definitely not an ordinary person."
"I believe in your judgment. If you say he is not a bad person, then he is not a bad person." Mu Siyu flattered him.
"Do you really believe me? Don't you think so?" Lu Yi looked at her with a smile: "Otherwise you wouldn't have brought him to me, let alone want me to keep him as a
Follow."
"I think you lack such talents around you." Mu Siyu said sheepishly, "By the way, I don't know why those people attacked me. Ask them why they attacked me."
"Don't worry." Lu Yi's eyes flashed coldly.
Mu Siyu told Lu Yi the next plan.
She plans to open a shop in the city. Kite and others are usually guarding it, and she can sell some furniture made by her. If you want custom decoration, come to her and she will make it tailor-made. Now she has a big order in her hand, that is,
Ms. Li's list. After completing that list, her reputation will become even more famous, and she won't have to worry about running out of business.
"Here we come." Xia Kun came over carrying a young boy.
The little boy was as skinny as a stick and dressed in a beggar's outfit. When he was pushed over, he smiled brightly and his eyes were bright and sparkling.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"What's your name?" Lu Yi asked.
"My name is Little Monkey, they all call me that." The young boy touched his head.
"I am short of a follower, do you want to follow me?" Lu Yi said calmly: "If you want to be a follower, you have to sign a five-year contract with me. In these five years, you can only listen to me. If
If you disobey, you will be punished like an ordinary domestic slave."
The young man looked at Xia Kun.
"Brother Kun, do you also sign?"
Xia Kun looked at Mu Siyu and said calmly: "You can sign for five years."
"Sure, if Brother Kun signs it, I'll sign it." The young man said, "How much is the salary?"
"Fifty taels a month." Mu Siyu said, "If you do well, you can increase the price later."
"That's enough, that's enough." The young man grinned, showing his white teeth. "When will you start working?"
