After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 363 Do you have enough manpower?
After hesitating for only a second, Tu Huan turned around and stepped over the high threshold.

She summoned a folding fan and waved it gently, bringing a gentle warm breeze towards her face.

Tu Huan thought: It doesn't matter if I take a little longer, I can go and see what's going on.

On the other side, Xie Yuchuan, who had received a message from the house god that he was coming over, was already standing on the corridor outside the room, looking up at the dark clouds for a long time.

Seeing no sign of the family god's arrival, Xie Yuchuan took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.

Is the household god stuck in some matter?

I wanted to ask, but was worried about being too abrupt.

Just a second.

Xie Yuchuan thought to himself.

Everywhere in the corridor on the second floor was guarded by soldiers armed with guns and knives.

The men and women of the Xie family rested next to each other. There were three side rooms on the right side of the corner, which was where the Chai family rested.

Xie Yuchuan waited for a long time, lowering his head to peel the candy. Every time he felt a little impatient, he would feel much better after eating a piece of the slightly bitter candy sent by the family god.

When there was a movement at the door on the right, Xie Yuchuan raised his eyes slightly to take a look, then lowered his eyes again, peeled another one and put it into his mouth.

This candy has a unique taste and is very refreshing.

Xie Yuchuan thought to himself that if possible, he would like to ask the family god for some of this next time.

"Is there something troubling the Major General?"

Xie Yuchuan thought that the people next door came out to get some fresh air, but he didn't expect that Chai Ji, the Marquis of Dongbo, who had always been close to the Xie family, would come out to talk to him tonight. His eyes were filled with surprise.

"I've met the Marquis."

"Hey, young general, you are too polite!" Seeing that he was very polite, Chai Ji waved his hands and smiled, then came to the side, sighed softly, and said, "Now my Chai family is exiled, and my wealth is gone. I am no longer the Duke of Dongbo. Thank you, general, please don't call me like that."

"It's the same for the Marquis, isn't it?" Xie Yuchuan said calmly.

The two looked at each other, and after a moment, they smiled at each other.

With this smile, the awkwardness and discomfort between the two of them mostly disappeared.

"How about you call me your uncle? After all, the Chai family is also a branch of your Xie family, and there are some connections between our ancestors. In terms of age, your second uncle and I should be about the same age. I used to be in the academy and we were classmates, so this way is more intimate."

During such a long period of exile, Xie Yuchuan had not seen Dong Bohou Chai Ji, nor had he spoken so many words to him.

Moreover, every word and sentence was trying to bring him closer.

Xie Yuchuan became alert for a moment, but after secretly observing Chai Ji's expression and gaze, his alertness quietly faded away.

Chai Ji is looking for him tonight because of something!
He hesitated for a moment, nodded, and called out, "Uncle Chai."

"Well, fine, then I will call you the general's nephew."

As they went back and forth, Chai Ji, before he even expressed his thoughts, was very clever in trying to bring the two of them closer together.

Although I know that this kind of relationship is created out of nothing and forced.

However, when Xie Yuchuan heard Dong Bohou mention his second uncle, his brows couldn't help but move slightly.

Acquiesced to Chai Ji's definition of the two families.

Xie Yuchuan now doesn't mind the "friends" who come to show their goodwill. The more people who are willing to make friends with the Xie family, the better during this road of exile.

However, he didn't know why the Chai family, who had been keeping a low profile all along, suddenly came over.
The Chai family's exile was somewhat unfair, but it cannot be said that they were not at fault for offending their master.

The Chai family’s mistake is that they are disobedient.

But the Chai family had good food, clothing, and transportation along the way, much better than the other exiles.

It is obvious that there is someone capable behind the scenes.

Xie Yuchuan understood all these things, and Xiong Jiushan had never concealed them.

Indeed, it was said that the Chai family had people taking care of them along the way. Even when they arrived in Laozhou, they had already been informed in advance. So as long as the Chai family did not make trouble along the way, Xiong Jiushan would only treat them as fugitives similar to the merchant caravan. If they were obedient, they would be safe. If they were disobedient, they would be treated as fugitives.

It doesn’t matter if other exiles have opinions.

Since ancient times, some exiles were allowed to go to the place of exile with the opportunity to eat, drink and have fun. If the escorting officials were lucky enough to meet such exiles, they could even travel with them in carriages and enjoy the best food and drinks along the way.

It's just that their team is not that rich. The Chai family has its own guards, the guards in the Marquis's mansion. When Xie Yuchuan had an idea in his mind, he had also thought about the guards of the Chai family.

However, it’s just a thought.

He must know what a private bodyguard at home looks like.

Instead of borrowing people from the Chai family, it is better to spend a lot of money to recruit capable fighters from among the fugitives.

Therefore, when he discussed with Han Qiguang and Xiong Jiushan, he never mentioned the Chai family.

With so few people, it would be good enough if they could protect their own people first.

Chai Ji is very interesting.

It was obvious at a glance that he came here for something and she wanted to discuss something with him, but when she got up to him, she didn't say it directly, but instead chatted with him about family matters for a while.

Xie Yuchuan did not hear any movement from the household god.

I just listened to him patiently for a while.

Chai Ji first talked about his wife's improved condition.

Xie Yuchuan knew about this matter.

Because of the medicine given by the house god, it seems that Mrs. Chai’s coughing has not been heard much recently.

Chai Ji thanked him repeatedly.

It was because of this incident that the two families became closer.

These are all trivial matters, and Xie Yuchuan also heard from his two younger brothers about the thank-you gifts sent by the Chai family.

After the greetings, Chai Ji felt that there was no point in continuing to talk about this, so he told Xie Yuchuan what he really wanted to talk about tonight.

"Don't blame me, my dear nephew. I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Xie Yuchuan's eyes moved slightly, expecting that he was finally talking about business.

"Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Then I'll tell you?"

Xie Yuchuan nodded.

Chai Jia coughed twice, cleared his throat, stared into Xie Yuchuan's eyes, hesitated for a while, and said with a firm look: "I have seen the young general and Lord Xiong often discussing these days, and occasionally heard about the bandits. I think..."

Talking about this, Chai Ji hesitated a bit.

Seeing this, Xie Yuchuan did not deny it.

Dong Bohou Chai Ji was a smart man. Along the way, he not only secretly observed the Xie family, but he also observed the father and son of the Chai family.

Since Chai Ji was able to break the silence and come over, why not ask him this question?

That must have been something that had been lingering in her mind for a long time, so she came to ask him.

Xie Yuchuan thought for a moment and said calmly, "Panlongling is plagued by bandits, and many people have been harmed by them. I think Lord Xiong seems to want to help the government suppress the bandits, so he came to me to ask about it."

Chai Ji nodded, "Oh, so that's how it is. Has the master made up his mind?"

Xie Yuchuan looked at him and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked another question: "Uncle Shi is asking about this matter, is it..."

They were all smart people. Chai Ji immediately understood what Xie Yuchuan really wanted to ask.

In that case, there was no need for him to beat around the bush.

After figuring it out, Chai Ji looked up at him and asked, "If you want to do it, do you have enough manpower?"

Xie Yuchuan was stunned. Although he had expected it, he was still surprised.

Just about to reply.

Finally, the voice of the household god rang in my ears.

　Tu Hua: Blow the assembly horn! Distribute equipment!

　　System: [Ah! These are just small amounts!!!]
