Chapter 1202: Leaving Personal Soldiers



Chapter 1202: Leaving Personal Soldiers

Xu Sibei was about to leave, "It's a busy time now, everyone is busy as hell, even my second brother is here, it's not appropriate for me to stay behind, Guoguo, I'm leaving."

Zhou Guo said: "I understand. I will take good care of myself. You also need to protect yourself and dad."

Xu Sibei smiled and touched her head. He had been the youngest since he was young and had always wanted a little brother, but his mother never gave birth to one.

Now I think my little sister is pretty good, much better than my younger brother.

Xu Sibei said he would leave after lunch, and he really didn't waste even half a day. He took the remaining 500 people with him to chase after the old doctor and his gang.

In order to prevent any accidents, he specially left more than a hundred people for Zhou Guo.

These one hundred men were his own men, elite soldiers who could defeat ten enemies at once.

Zhou Guo looked at the more than 100 young men and refused, "Young man, let them go with you. I'm not in danger in the rear, so how can I need so many people? Besides, I have a few personal soldiers around me. With them, it's enough."

Besides, all the people working for her now came down from the mountains, and their fighting ability is not as good as that of ordinary people. She feels that these more than one hundred people are really not needed.

Xu Sibei said seriously: "Listen to me, you have made such a big move in Huguang in the past six months, and you have made many enemies. If these people still have troubles left, they can't be underestimated if they work together. If you bring these people with you, I will feel more at ease! I am not short of people, your brother!"

He is the son of General Xu and has been fighting in the military camp since he was a child. The personal soldiers who guard him are not only one in a million, but they have also been trained since childhood and are much stronger than ordinary people.

After giving Zhou Guo a hundred, he still has more. If all else fails, he can just pick others. Can't he pick a few personal soldiers?

"Besides, I'm your elder brother, you have to listen to me on this matter!"

After saying this, he looked quite proud. He finally had the day to become a big brother.

Zhou Guo was amused and accepted his kindness. "Okay, thank you for giving me these things. Now that you have given them to me, you can't take them back. These 100 soldiers are mine!"

Xu Sibei laughed loudly, "Look at what you are saying. How can I take back something I gave away? Am I such a stingy person?"

After seeing Xu Sibei off, Zhou Guo stayed in the room to rest for two days.

After dealing with the backlog of matters that have been going on for some time, I plan to visit various places to see the spring farming situation.

She had no time to check on the spring ploughing and didn't know how the situation was going. However, according to the account books submitted by various places, the fertilizer had been sold.

It's just that they had just arrived, the number of people and the territory were small, and they didn't know much about the local situation.

The fertilizers in many places in the two prefectures are not selling very well.

I’m afraid the number of households buying fertilizer is less than half of the local households. If there are more, they can’t be sold, so they can only come one step at a time.

Wu Lazi came back excitedly and saw that Xu Sibei had left and Zhou Guo was also well. She was overjoyed and laughed, "Sir, you're finally well!"

Zhou Guo said: "I have recovered a long time ago, haven't I?"

Wu Lazi said, "That's different. Isn't it that Mr. Xu San left? I always feel uncomfortable when he's around. I don't know what's going on. It's better for him to leave."

When Xu Sibei was around, she had to be careful even when laughing out loud, for fear of making him unhappy and causing her to suffer. She felt very depressed.

Zhou Guo laughed, "Then you better be careful with your words. If someone with ulterior motives hears you and finds out, he might make things difficult for you later."

Wu Lazi waved her hand and said, "He's gone, who would hear it?"

Xiaoshu couldn't help but whispered, "When the young master left, he left more than a hundred soldiers for our master. It is said that these are his personal soldiers who have been with him for many years."

Wu Lazi was dumbfounded and couldn't help but say, "That's really a kiss!"

Not only are they close, but I've had them around for so many years that I'm afraid they've become like family to me.

She asked curiously, "Then the Third Young Master is willing to give it to me? It must be difficult to train a person like this, right?"

Give one hundred if you give one!

What a generous act!

Zhou Guo also felt that it was a big deal, so he said: "So, he is so nice and generous to me, you have to be careful with your words. If you really say something that offends him, I can't say anything to you, otherwise my brother will be sad."

Wu Lazi: "...You are really taking advantage of others. You took advantage of others and don't care about the life and death of your subordinates? I am your man!"

Zhou Guo nodded, "You are mine, I didn't say you are not, but you were the first to say something bad about him, it's not like he is causing trouble for you for no reason, right?"

Wu Lazi was speechless. She felt that this young man from a wealthy family was really difficult to get along with, and she would not feel at ease even if he left.

Zhou Guo said: "Okay, let's not talk about others, let's talk about how the spring plowing is going down there."

Wu Lazi stopped laughing and started to talk about her discovery in a serious manner.

The next morning, Zhou Guo took his men and left, and the group went to the countryside in a mighty procession.

On the very night they left, an irreparable fire broke out in the villa where they lived late at night, illuminating half of the county.

The common people who were unaware of the situation rushed to put out the fire, crying more sadly than if their parents had died. Finally, the situation was under control after hearing from people nearby that Zhou Guo had passed away early in the morning.

Zhou Guo, who knew nothing, had already arrived in the countryside. He looked at the crops growing well along the way, and a smile appeared on his face. He said to Wu Lazi beside him, "As a former farmer, what do you think of the wheat fields growing well like this?"

Wu Lazi said: "Of course I am happy. The crops are growing well. If the weather is good this year, the harvest will not be too bad, and we will have enough food at home."

Especially Zhou Guo, who has beheaded and imprisoned many powerful and corrupt officials in the two prefectures during this period. Now that their powerful forces are gone, as long as the cases can be investigated, the land will be given to the local farmers. The extra land is enough for many families to eat.

Zhou Guo sighed, "Yes, as long as God doesn't do anything wrong, everyone will have enough to eat this year. Even if there is no tax, as long as everyone can save their family from this natural disaster, that will be enough."

If you can survive a natural disaster, good days are yet to come.

Zhou Guo's group consisted of more than a hundred people, and they were very powerful. Especially the personal soldiers, they all had stern faces and didn't say a word. Their every move was in unison, which was frightening. Not only did no one dare to step forward, but they also ran back in fear.

Zhou Guo had no choice but to let his personal soldiers stay where they were while he went forward to talk to the common people.

When dealing with ordinary people, the best topic to use is crops. Once you start a topic, they will pick up the conversation and talk nonstop, not only about this year, but also about last year, the years before that, and even next year.

At worst, talk about the weather, the food stored at home, or anything else.
