Soon, the cavalry team ran nearby, and someone shouted loudly, "Brother Tai, it's me, Liu Qi!"

"Oh, Brother Liu Qi is back!" Tai Jiye responded happily, but he still hid behind the car and did not jump out immediately.

This is the experience I learned from others when I followed the Min family's motorcade.

Money attracts people's hearts, especially after crossing the border. In many cases, it is not only the grassland refugees and wolves who are in danger, but also... acquaintances.

Liu Qi jumped off the horse with the veterans, then walked forward and spread his hands, indicating that he did not bring any weapons.

"You are quite vigilant. Don't worry. These people were given by General He Xiong and He Qian. They are all veteran brothers who have retired from the border army." Liu Qi pointed to the veterans with a smile. After introducing them, he added, "Yong'an That kid was wrestling with others in the camp, and he had more fun than anyone else. Mr. He Qian let him stay for one night and will be back tomorrow morning."

Tai Jiye and others then pushed a car away and welcomed Liu Qi and others in. Someone also went to take care of the horses they rode back.

Even if the ten veterans changed out of their military uniforms, they could not hide the iron-blooded and fierce spirit they had cultivated over the years.

Tai Jicai and others saw this and were happy in their hearts. They all came forward to talk to them and handed them water and hot porridge.

The same ten veterans are also sizing up everyone. After all, they will have to get along with each other for a long time in the future, and they will get to know each other better and feel more at ease.

The Tai family used to live in poverty, and occasionally there would be quarrels and grudges among the clan members if there were minor conflicts.

But now life is much better. There is no shortage of food and clothing at home, the children have books to read, the wife and daughter are working in the workshops, and the crops in the fields are waiting for the autumn harvest. Everything is full of hope.

Therefore, the faces of these men who are away from home are very relaxed and there is no grimace.Moreover, brothers of the same race look after each other and are very united and lively.

Of course, these are not words, but purely a feeling and an atmosphere.

The ten veterans selected by He Xiong were all from the general's personal bodyguards. They were very capable and the best at observing people's emotions. They could see through everyone in the Tai family in almost no time.

They rarely relaxed and agreed with He Xiong's words.

When He Xiong talked about the Tai family before, he was full of praise.

Why did they fall into a pit of good fortune when they arrived at his house? Why was the Tai family the best destination for them? Why was the Tai family so loyal and kind.

They all hear what goes in one ear and out the other, and the reason why they come here is because they believe in the general.

The general decided to let them go to the Tai family. Even if the Tai family was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, they would move forward bravely.

However, now it seems that the Tai family may indeed be a good choice as He Xiong said...

Tai Jiye was worried about his nephew and talked to Liu Qi for a long time. He couldn't help laughing when he heard that the black horse had blackmailed a daughter-in-law for him.

The city gate at the border gate had been closed long ago, and Liu Qi couldn't afford to go back even if he wanted to, so he simply spent the night with them.

Tai Jiye asked the tribesmen to put on the table all the delicacies brought from the border, including fried peanuts, roast chicken, donkey meat in sauce, snow-white steamed buns and noodles, as well as pickles brought from home to accompany the fragrant rice. Porridge is a feast for ten soldiers.

Tai Jiye brought a porridge bowl instead of a wine bowl, and said to the clan members, "Dear uncles and brothers, Mr. He Xiong and He Qian brought people to our village before. Do you still remember?"

"Remember, of course I remember!"

"That's right, Mr. He Qian was very powerful at that time. Several Jianghu people came to our village to fight and kill them. Mr. He Qian brought his brothers from the border army and captured them directly."

"Yes, we even drank mutton soup with our border army brothers!"

Tai Jiye waved his hand and said with a smile, "Everyone, just remember, these ten brothers sent by Brother Liu Qi are good soldiers in the border army, but because they are old or injured, it is time to leave the military camp.

"They are carefully selected by Mr. He Qian. They are most familiar with the grassland and have great skills. Tomorrow they will follow us into the grassland and then return to the village together. From now on, we will be brothers fighting for our lives together!
"Come, let's serve these brothers with a bowl, and share the blessings and hardships in the future!" All the tribesmen were surprised. They originally thought that these border army brothers would come to protect them for one night at most, but they didn't expect that they would go into the grassland together. go home.

Haha, this is really a great thing!

With them, entering the grassland will be as smooth as walking on flat ground, and the village will not be afraid of anyone causing trouble in the future!
"Welcome brothers!"

"Welcome, welcome, we will all be a family from now on!"

“I’ll have to rely on you from now on!”

The veterans could easily tell whether everyone in the Tai family was sincere or fake. They were also happy now and responded one after another.

"Thank you. We will do our best to protect you in entering and exiting the grassland safely."

"Thank you, I will be my family from now on."

Tai Jiye asked them one by one, and the veterans also reported their names and skills.

Among them was a veteran named Wengqi, who was about forty years old and looked very calm. He was also the captain whom the other nine soldiers admired. He was a scout and had outstanding skills and reactions.

Tai Jiye told everyone at that time, "Although the trade routes in the grassland have been opened in recent years, and various caravans often come and go, the dangers still exist. No one can guarantee that everything will be safe!

"If we are unlucky and our caravan encounters danger, everyone will obey the command of Brother Heng, including me. My father said that money is an external possession, and our safety is the first priority. Do you understand?"

"I got it, Third Brother!"

"Okay, we are just weaklings. When it comes to fighting, Brother Heng and the others are more powerful. Of course we have to listen to others!"

"Don't worry, we will be obedient. I'm still waiting to save money to marry a wife!"

Everyone responded one after another, laughing and joking, but their expressions were serious and convinced.

Hengqi did not expect that Tai Jiye would trust him so much and entrusted the safety of the team to him as soon as they met.

He was also a little excited, and after thinking about it, he didn't refuse.

"Don't worry, fellow citizens, we will do our best to keep you safe."

Tai Jiye invited Doctor Tian out again and introduced him to Weng Qi and others.

This is the old doctor entrusted by the Wu family. If something happens, he must be the key protection target of Wengqi and others.

After finishing these tasks, Tai Jiye greeted everyone, "Hurry up and eat, eat and drink enough to go to bed. We will set out to make money tomorrow morning!"

He tore off a roasted chicken leg and stuffed it into the scale, gave the other to Liu Qi, and then invited everyone to eat and drink together.

Liu Qi gnawed on the chicken leg and said with a smile, "Oh, everyone is so energetic, it makes me want to follow them into the grassland."

"Haha, that won't work! When we come back, we're counting on you, one of our own, to support us!" Tai Jiye quickly stopped him, coaxing him to make a wish like a child, "Brother Liu Qi, just wait! Those grassland people are most willing to wrestle with Yong'an, and Yong'an wins. If you get something good, I’ll choose the best one!”

Liu Qi was not polite, "Then find me a wolf tooth chain. It's my boy's birthday. If you give it to him then, he will definitely be happy."

"Okay, it's settled!" Tai Jiye agreed.

The night wind on the grassland is cold, but full of the fragrance of green grass. Everyone is chatting and laughing over the bonfire. It really feels like a different kind of freedom and wantonness... (End of this chapter)
