Chapter 384 The hero's stumbling block on the road to escape from the famine 35

In this way, they stayed in the county town for another day, bought some things and prepared to leave.

The main reason was that Gu Lanzhang thought that there were still enemies in the county town watching them, and he was extremely nervous every day. Xiao Yun couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply left early on the third day.

In addition to buying things, Xiao Yun stayed that extra day because he wanted to wait for Lao Hui to collect the treasures that the Qiu family had hidden in various places.

She couldn't leave by herself, but Lao Hui could. However, if they left, it would not be easy for Lao Hui to catch up with them.

As for the evidence, Xiao Yun made a copy in the space and kept it, and as for the original copies from the Qiu family, Lao Hui directly ordered the newly recruited Rat Brother to put them in Hu Youxu's study.

In this way, even if the other party cannot catch all the bandits in one fell swoop, she still has a copy in her hands, and she can just find someone else when the time comes.

They only stocked up on a few things in the county town, like seasonings like oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and also bought some vegetables and fruits, mostly radishes and cabbages, which were ripe at this time.

There are also watermelons and melons here, and they taste pretty good. Normally, watermelons should be out of season at this time of year, but maybe because the weather here is a bit cold, they are still for sale. Of course, the price is definitely more expensive than those in season.

Before leaving, they went to say goodbye to Commander Hu. After all, they had met him when they came, and they couldn't just leave without a word.

When they met, he tried to keep them, and even promised that if they stayed, he would arrange a position for Gu Lanzhang and his son in the county. He learned from Yu Haisheng and Li Zhen that Gu Lanzhang and his son were both skilled in martial arts, and their level was not low, so he wanted to retain these talents.

However, seeing that the other party was determined to leave, he did not want to force him to stay, so he gave him some silver, and left his address in the county town and a handwritten letter, telling him that if he encountered any difficulties, he could go to the Hu family for help.

He also wanted to make friends with this capable person. Who knows if he will have other opportunities in the future? He just looked down on their small border county.

So even though Hu Shoubei's family is not very capable, they are very good at dealing with people. As long as nothing unexpected happens, such people will definitely have a bright future.

They thought that this time it was just their family that was setting off, but they didn't expect that Yu Haisheng wanted to go with them. They all forgot that Yu Haisheng was passing by here as a bodyguard and was not here to visit relatives.

That's good now. With the Li family gone, we have the Haisheng Escort Agency. This is not bad. At least there are not so many burdens like the Li family, and the speed is much slower.

Yu Haisheng originally came from the county town, and then took over a convoy on his way back. He also came to visit his cousin. Unexpectedly, he also contributed a credit to his cousin. This was beyond his expectations.

Speaking of which, their Yu family is also a family with a tradition of martial arts. Their ancestors also had military generals, but that was in the previous dynasty, so their descendants did not dare to develop in the court. They only worked as martial arts masters for some wealthy families. It was not until Yu Haisheng's generation that they opened a security company.

Yu Haisheng took his mother's surname as his mother was a son-in-law, and his aunt, Hu Youxu's mother, was the younger sister of Yu Haisheng's mother.

She married a deputy general of the county garrison as his second wife, which meant she entered an official family, so her son was able to become the garrison commander of a county.

At this time, it was very difficult to climb up from a commoner, as the positions were almost always occupied by the children of aristocratic families or officials.

These were what they heard from Yu Haisheng's words when they were traveling together later.

It's not that a well-traveled escort leader would be so easy to trick. The other party revealed it intentionally and wanted to recruit the father and son of the Gu family. Of course, Hu Youxiao's intention was also involved.

He thought that even if he couldn't recruit them, he could still add some help to his family. After all, they said they were going to the county town, and what if they joined his father's army?

So even if these children of officials come from the military, they are still very smart. They have been influenced by their surroundings since childhood, so they must have learned something.

Don't think that military generals are just reckless men who only know how to fight and nothing else. A true general is a man of both civil and military talents, otherwise how would he arrange the troops and formations? And there is also the saying that all is fair in war.

A capable general is not someone that can be defeated by civil servants who are only good at talking.

During the journey, Yu Haisheng showed his goodwill in various ways, talking about many of Deputy General Hu's previous heroic deeds, as well as the good places in the county town. He even offered his own daughter and son, saying that they were of the same age as Gu Huairen and Gu Mingyue, and that as long as they were attracted to each other, they could marry their children off...

It can be said that they have done everything they can.

To be honest, when Hu Youxu tried to recruit them, Gu Lanzhang and his son were actually quite tempted. If they hadn't been concerned about the hidden enemies here, they would have wanted to stay.

They have a criminal record, so they cannot take the imperial examination. It will take at least the next generation to become a scholar.

But if they join the military camp or have someone to protect them, becoming a military general is also an option. With their current skills, they may be able to make a name for themselves.

Now after listening to Yu Haisheng's words, they have a better choice, which of course makes them even more crazy and excited.

Therefore, they could not help but feel a little excited. If they could join the garrison of the county government, it would definitely be a better future. Although it was not at the frontier and the chances of killing enemies on the battlefield were slim, there were still opportunities to make achievements.

So he chatted with Yu Haisheng again, asking about the county government and the treatment of the garrison soldiers. Yu Haisheng was delighted to hear this, and it seemed that his recruitment was a success.

But in Xiao Yun's heart, she did not quite agree with it. After all, her original wish was for her husband and children to live in peace until old age. If the father and son went to the battlefield, swords had no mercy, and who knew if they would die on the battlefield.

She couldn't go with them. Besides, she had a husband and three sons. If they were not in the same military camp, she couldn't split herself. And she had two daughters. If the family was separated, how could she protect them?

But she couldn't directly oppose it or pour cold water on them. As the saying goes, a good man has ambitions, and it is normal to have a dream of making great achievements.

She also didn't want to stifle their dreams, so she decided to think carefully about it and see if there was a way to have the best of both worlds, to be safe and worry-free while also being able to achieve success.

In this way, she was thinking about this matter all the way, and even asked a few people in the space if they had any solutions. Unfortunately, no one could give any effective suggestions, which made her seem a little worried.

What Xiao Yun didn't know was that what was troubling her was not a big deal at all. Someone had already solved the problem for her and was waiting to give her a surprise...
