Zhang Liang was willing to say a few words to Xie Lingfeng for the sake of the money. Now that he had finished reading the money, he was too lazy to talk to Xie Lingfeng.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xie Lingfeng wanted to say a few more words to Zhang Liang, but was blocked by his guards: "Master Xie, this is a military restricted area. Master, please stop!"
"well!"
Xie Lingfeng sighed and was about to leave when he was stopped by his guards again.
"Is there anything else, Master Jun?" Xie Lingfeng asked.
"It's like this, Mr. Xie, we are here in a hurry this time, and the army lacks manpower for work. We would like to ask Mr. Xie to borrow some people. I wonder if it is convenient for Mr. Xie?"
The captain of the personal guard asked, pointing to the servant transporting the carriage behind Xie Lingfeng.
Hearing this, Xie Lingfeng almost vomited blood.
It’s okay to ask for money and a singer, but now they don’t even let go of the slaves who give money and singers. Isn’t the Zhenyuan Escort Agency too cruel?
The men of well-off society are withered, and male domestic slaves are much more expensive than singing girls.
However, Xie Lingfeng was not sure whether the captain of the guard asked the question on his own initiative, or whether Zhang Liang had instructed him to ask. With so much money given away, Xie Lingfeng did not want to offend the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau because of this matter, so he could only ask: "No.
Do you know how many people this military master wants to borrow?"
When the servants in the team heard this, they all looked at the guard captain with worried faces.
The singing girls can come into contact with merchants and know Sichuan and Sichuan's policies towards the domestic slaves of singing girls. However, the scope of the domestic slaves' activities all day long is in the courtyard of the deep house, and the number of people they come into contact with is very limited. The Xie family members will not tell the people below if nothing happens.
These things will prevent people's minds from wandering.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are also fights among domestic slaves.
Most of them were bought by the Xie family when they were young. Now they have finally established a foothold in the Xie family. If they are asked to leave by the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, wouldn't they have to start all over again?
When they arrived at the new place, they were targeted and embarrassed by other domestic slaves. It was okay to say that, but now it was the bodyguard who wanted to keep them.
What does Zhenyuan Escort Bureau do? It's for fighting!
What if the Guards Captain keeps them and uses them as cannon fodder?
Therefore, the domestic slaves are very worried that the guard captain will choose them.
Under the gaze of the house slave, the guard captain smiled and said: "Master Xie, we are too short of manpower. Of course, the more we can borrow, the better. Do you also want us to suppress the bandits as soon as possible and return the granary to you?"
The corner of Xie Lingfeng's mouth twitched, but he finally nodded and agreed: "Since the military master said it, then you can stay and help!"
All the domestic slaves turned pale in an instant, and some of the timid ones began to shake their legs.
However, they had been tamed by the Xie family a long time ago, and there were bodyguards everywhere. They had no place to run if they wanted to, so they could only wait for their fate with despair.
Xie Lingfeng was worried that the captain of the personal guard would fall in love with his guard and would not even want the carriage. He did not dare to get close to Zhang Liangtao again, so he turned around and left with his guard.
When we arrived, there was a mighty carriage convoy, larger than many caravans, but when we returned, only Xie Lingfeng and a few guards were left.
This made Xie Lingfeng feel the humiliation of being raped.
I took several long deep breaths to suppress this feeling.
He glanced back at the manor and said to the guard leader: "Send someone to keep an eye on this place and the grain depot for the next two days!"
"Yes!" The guard leader agreed.
Xie Lingfeng thought that even if Zhang Liang took action, he would have to wait for a while, but who knew that the next morning before dawn, the guard captain asked his maid to wake him up and said that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency had already taken action.
Xie Lingfeng put on his clothes in a hurry, ran to the study without even bothering to wash his face, and asked the head guard: "How many bodyguards did Zhang Liang send?"
"Almost all the bodyguards in the manor have been sent out!" the guard leader replied.
"It seems that Zhang Liang is quite interested," Xie Lingfeng nodded: "Which granary did the escort go to?"
"The escorts were divided into six teams and went in six directions respectively. Zhang Liang personally led a team of escorts towards the Fengnian Granary."
"Divided into six teams..."
Xie Lingfeng just said that Zhang Liang was interested, but turned around and wanted to take back what he just said.
Zhang Liang brought a total of more than a thousand people, divided into six teams. One team did not even have 300 people.
Even though he knew clearly that Zhang Liang was acting, wasn't this too perfunctory?
"Forget it, prepare your horses, and let's go to the Fengnian Granary to have a look!"
Xie Lingfeng sighed and walked out of the study.
Horses have been prepared at the entrance of the yard, and Xie Lingfeng rode the horse towards the Fengnian Granary.
Although they set off earlier than the bodyguards, the bodyguards traveled on foot, which was much faster than riding horses. Xie Lingfeng led his guards to the small town outside Fengnian Granary. The bodyguards were still more than 20 miles away, and it was estimated that they would not be able to get there until the afternoon.
.
The reeds outside the Fengnian Granary had been burned out last time, and now there was only a dark wasteland left. Xie Lingfeng did not dare to approach the granary, so he could only find a hill and prepare to stand on the mountain to watch the battle.
Unexpectedly, someone was one step ahead of them. When Xie Lingfeng arrived at the top of the mountain, there were already people on the top.
"He Dingliang, why are you here?"
Xie Lingfeng frowned and asked, "What, are you here to see my joke?"
He Dingliang is the fifth son of the He family in the neighboring county, and is one year older than him.
The He family and the Xie family are next to each other, so it is inevitable that there will be friction between them, especially in recent years, because of the fertile farmland at the junction, the two families have fought several times.
Seeing He Dingliang, Xie Lingfeng's first thought was that this guy knew that the Fengnian Granary had been robbed, so he came to see a joke.
One of the two is a leader of the Xie family, and the other is a pillar of the He family. In addition, the two are about the same age, so outsiders often compare them together, and the smell of gunpowder is strong every time they meet.
But this time He Dingliang did not fight with Xie Lingfeng, but took the initiative to stand up and salute: "Brother Xie, I didn't come to see your joke. In fact, we have a common enemy now. I hope Brother Xie can ignore the past grudges and sit down."
say!"
After saying that, he motioned to his servants to bring over a soft cushion.
Only then did Xie Lingfeng remember that he had indeed received intelligence two days ago that the He family's granary had also been robbed by bandits.
