Chapter 1138 Going down the mountain
The child has already started a family, and from now on, she has to live for herself.
After a simple breakfast, everyone gathered at the martial arts training ground, more than a thousand people, including Wu Lazi, who had already packed his bags.
She watched from a distance. Many people surrounded Wu Lazi and cried, holding her hands and not letting her go. Wu Lazi kept talking patiently and pulled over two elderly people who looked to be in their 50s or 60s...
She looked carefully and saw an old man and an old woman. Are these the second and third in command?
The second and third in command of this village are quite old, and there are also many young people. I don't know why they don't use the young ones.
Dashu said, "If these people leave, won't this village be so unstable?"
They have offended many people during their years as bandits, and they wonder if they will attract enemies.
Zhou Guo said: "No, you didn't notice that everyone in this village, including the old and the children, has some martial arts skills. Even if their martial arts skills are not very good, it is definitely enough to deal with someone who has no martial arts skills at all.
Besides, there are still several thousand people left on the mountain. They are as close as a family. With so many people, who would dare to come and seek revenge? Wouldn't that mean they are tired of living?"
She also believed that no one would be so desperate as to break into the bandit's den. This was a bandit's den, a den of bandits who were said to kill people without blinking an eye. Most people would rather take a detour.
She originally thought that this farewell party would take a long time, but in just an incense stick of time, the strong men said goodbye to their families, stood behind Wu Lazi, and finished their talk.
Wu Lazi led them to bow to their family, then strode towards Zhou Guo and said, "Master, let's go."
Zhou Guo glanced behind them. The old people and children were looking at them quietly, and no one was crying. It was indeed a bandit’s den.
She said to these people: "After you come down from the mountain, you are no longer bandits, but escorts. Escorts have their own rules. It is impossible to do whatever you want like in the mountains. Once you enter the escort agency, you must be obedient and follow orders. If you don't, you will be beaten until you obey.
Also, it's not easy to get out once you're in. You should think carefully about whether you want to go down the mountain with me. It's easy to take this step, but there's no turning back once you take it."
Dashu and Xiaoshu were very surprised. It seemed that their escort agency was not that strict.
You can quit at any time if you want to. It's just because the treatment is good. People from outside have been trying their best to get in over the years. No one wants to quit. Even the people doing odd jobs in the escort agency don't think about leaving.
Wu Lazi was afraid that someone would do something stupid, so he said to the group of people behind him, "We have thought it through and we will not back down. Let's follow you down the mountain."
Everyone shouted, "Yes, follow the young master down the mountain!"
The sound came from far away.
Zhou Guo nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's go."
Turn around and walk in front.
In the forest, Wu Jiang heard the noise, curled his lips, and gestured to everyone, "Retreat!"
A group of people retreated without disturbing anyone on the mountain.
Xiaoshu and Dashu murmured, "It was so easy to get so many people, and they are all good at fighting and kicking. It's true that people who come to rob the bandit's den are faster. If the master can rob a few more, we will soon have enough people in our escort agency, and we won't have to worry about manpower anymore."
Although these people are not as capable as those from Xu's army, they are agile, can fight, run and jump, and some of them used to be bandits and bodyguards. They feel they are better than those from Xu's army.
Zhou Guo was calculating in his mind when Ju Qianduo wrote to him saying that he had found out about six famous bandit dens in the nearby prefectures.
Moreover, these six are large villages, with a population of over a thousand people.
If she could capture all six of them, and some of the smaller ones, there would definitely be enough people in the escort agency.
At least in the next one or two years, we don’t have to worry about not having enough people.
Along the way, there are two more bandit dens on the other two lines. After we wipe out these two, we can leave the others for the next two years.
After all, there are too many newcomers entering the escort agency at once, especially those who are bandits. They still have some impact. We are afraid that if we are not careful, they will cause trouble. This matter cannot be rushed and must be done slowly.
The men were a little sad when they first left home, but the sadness didn't last long and they became excited.
From then on, they became bodyguards. They suddenly went from being robbers to being robbed. It was exciting just thinking about it.
In the future, they will be able to receive money every month and someone will give them money. They have thought about such a good life before, but unfortunately, they have little ability and have never found it before.
Who would have thought that after being a bandit for several years, I would have such good fortune.
Someone couldn't help but say, "How is that saying? I often hear those old people say that fate is beyond our control. Damn it, now I finally understand what it means. That's it!"
"It's all fate, it's not up to you! How come you can't remember this? You've heard it so many times, but you still can't do it? You can't do this after you become a escort. Otherwise, if you forget where you delivered the goods in the future, you will be beaten!"
"Damn it, if you can't say it, don't say it. It's so embarrassing. The old man said that everything is determined by fate and has no control over us. You're still criticizing others, and you're no different yourself."
Everyone laughed.
Zhou Guo also laughed.
Wu Lazi sighed, "That's right. Sometimes you have no choice but to believe in fate. People like us can still survive in troubled times, but when peace and prosperity come, we will become rats in the gutter. Sometimes I worry about our future.
I never thought I would meet you later. If I had known earlier, why would I have worried for so many years? It was just asking for trouble."
Only now did she believe what the old people said, it’s all fate!
Zhou Guo said: "That's not the case. God has given you this opportunity, and you have to grab it. If you don't grab it, it will be in vain. Sometimes the so-called fate is still in our own hands."
Wu Lazi nodded thoughtfully.
It is said that going up a mountain is easier than going down, but going down a mountain is always much faster than going up.
Zhou Guo walked along the mountain path as light as a swallow. Wu Lazi beside him noticed it and said, "I didn't realize before that you are a martial artist. No wonder you are so brave to bring only a few people with you up the mountain. It turns out you have someone to rely on."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I rely on more than just this."
"Ah?" Wu Lazi was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"master!"
"master!"
Before she could figure out what was going on, Wu Jiang came up with a few people and saluted Zhou Guo.
