Chapter 1056 The Second Group

The bald-headed man smiled and said, "When they came here, I asked them to change their old clothes and put some delicious food, such as braised meat, snacks and strong liquor in their pockets."

Zhou Guo glanced over.

He said hurriedly: "But there is not much wine. The gourd looks so big, but there is only half a bowl in it. If each person shares it, they can't even drink a sip.

Hehe, seeing them wearing nice clothes, eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, how can these people resist? They must be completely devoted to our escort agency, just like they are in the military camp. From now on, our escort agency will be famous all over the world! ! "

The old man said, "Aren't these all wounded soldiers? Even if they are so loyal, can they be of such great use?"

Before Zhou Guo could say anything, the bald-headed man said anxiously, "Old man, you don't know. Although these people are more or less injured, their skills are real. They are all members of the Xu family army. You may not be able to see it in a single fight, but in a team fight, no one can beat them!"

He told her about the fight that day.

"Their movements were really strange. You didn't see them, and you don't know how they ran around among us. Anyway, we were separated. If they had knives in their hands, we would have been killed long ago. Even so, they didn't discuss this beforehand. They just relied on the tacit understanding they brought from the military camp."

This is especially important in the escort agency.

Zhou Guo stood up, walked around and looked at these people carefully.

After turning around carefully, she came back and sat down. The old man and the bald-headed man looked at her curiously, "What have you been doing?"

"What did you see?"

Zhou Guo shook his head, "Nothing."

She remembered what Xu Sibei said last time. The first time, the injuries were much more serious, but later, slowly, there would be more people who could still fight. She couldn't really leave her escort agency without anyone entering.

After all, it’s not easy to feed so many people.

She went to see. Although there were more than 2,000 people this time, the ratio of those with obvious disabilities such as missing limbs to those with healthy limbs was indeed smaller.

Of course, there are also many disabled people with missing limbs.

The old man was overwhelmed when he saw these people. "How are those people doing in the farm before? Have you gone to see them? Can they do the work?"

There are thousands of such people. If they can't do it, then they can only support their own apprentices for the rest of their lives?

Baldy-head also looked over and said, "Yes, how are those who went to the village?"

Zhou Guo said: "It's good. Although they are not as fast as the temporary workers, they are more meticulous. It's better to work slowly than to make mistakes in a hurry. As the saying goes, slow work produces fine work."

The old man shook his head. "There are so many fields at home. If we take our time, we can plant all the fields."

Zhou Guo said: "Now we still have temporary and permanent workers to support us. They have fought in the war for so many years, how can they do farm work? When they have worked for a long time and become good at it, and have stayed in the fields for a long time, no one will rush them, and they will speed up on their own."

In comparison, although farm work is tiring, it is the easiest thing to do.

Plowing the soil, weeding and applying fertilizer are things that anyone can do and are easy to get started with.

The bald-headed man said, "I believe this. They learn things very quickly. Although they have only been in the escort agency for a short time, they have already learned a lot. In two months, they will be able to go to the south. With a few old friends, they can open escort agencies in the south."

The old man nodded and said, "I will stay at the escort agency for a while to see if they are as good as you say."

Baldy was very happy, "Your room is cleaned every day."

Zhou Guo was also happy. It was best if he could find something to do. Having something to do would make him more energetic.

The group had lunch there, and then headed south in a mighty procession.

The bald-headed man looked at these people and said happily, "Boss, when do you think the world will be peaceful? I really hope that day will come soon. With these people in our escort agency, we will be famous all over the world. At that time, orders will come in continuously, and we will make a lot of money every day."

Zhou Guo asked, "You like money so much? Have you earned less in recent years?"

"Not really." The bald-headed man shook his head. "With the money you give me every year, I can buy a big house in the capital, and I can also get dividends. Last year, I got married and had a child. The child and wife eat well, wear good clothes, live well, and buy whatever they want. I think this kind of life is the best. I'm afraid that the emperor doesn't live as well as I do."

The more he talked about it, the prouder he became, especially after he had a big fat son in the spring. With the birth of his son, he felt that his life was complete.

The old man said, "Why do you want so much money? What's the point of having so much money? Do you want to marry hundreds of wives?"

Zhou Guo interrupted, saying seriously, "In that case, it would indeed cost a lot of money. One needs to buy clothes, the other needs to buy jewelry. If you buy everything for one person, it would be quite expensive."

The bald-headed man raised his whip and said, "Old Lai, I don't have that idea. What's the point of having so many wives? One is enough. She also gave me a son. When I die in the future, all these things will be left to my son."

After thinking about it, he felt that this was too much. If he regretted it in the future, there would be no room for him to change his mind. He added: "Even if I want to marry a wife, it will be a concubine, a concubine, it can't be called marrying a wife. My wife is still the first one."

The old man couldn't help laughing, pointing at him and saying, "I knew it, you sound better when you talk than when you sing."

Zhou Guo was annoyed, "He regretted it right after he finished speaking. What do you mean by speaking better than singing?"

Baldhead touched his nose and explained, "It's mainly because I thought about it. If a very beautiful woman flirted with me in front of me, I wouldn't be able to resist. I'm not a saint."

I'm always out and about, so it's inevitable that I can't control myself.

Zhou Guo felt that there were probably not many rich and powerful people in this world who could truly remain faithful to one person.

The old man never married in his life, so he has no right to speak.

So the topic ended there.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Lai Zi Tou had to find another topic, "Boss, what do you think we should do if this group of people have bad intentions? There are so many of them, thousands of them, and they are regular Xu family soldiers. Although they are injured, their combat effectiveness is not weak. If they really have bad intentions, won't we be finished?"

Who can defeat Xu’s army of several thousand people?

This is exactly what the old man is worried about.

Accepting such a team in its entirety is not without risk.

Zhou Guo said: "Don't be afraid, they have Xu's army behind them, and they just came out, so they dare not act recklessly for the time being.

After he gets married and has children, he will be less likely to mess around. After all, he is a retired soldier from the battlefield. He has experienced the brutal swords and guns on the battlefield. Now he has food and drink and can live a good life. Who would want to rebel? "
