Chapter 172: It

Zhang Zhengyan was a technical person. Jiang Jinshi had wanted to give him more, but since he didn't know the other party's ability yet, he thought he would wait and see.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhengyan was frightened by Jiang Jinshi's generosity and confirmed with Jiang Jinshi in a daze: "Big... Big Brother! Ten taels a month?"

"Think it's too little? We can talk!" Jiang Jinshi looked at Zhang Zhengyan's stuttering appearance and thought the other party thought it was too little.

On second thought, he could understand. After all, besides himself, it was equivalent to two hundred pigeons working, so he really should add some more.

"Twenty taels! How about that?"

"Enough, enough! This monthly wage is enough!" Zhang Zhengyan waved his hands repeatedly to refuse. He was already very satisfied with ten taels a month, let alone twenty taels!

"Okay! Then it's settled, twenty taels a month!" Jiang Jinshi nodded, preparing to hand him over to Wang Hou and Tang Xiao Yu for coordination.

At this time, Zhang Zhengyan asked curiously: "Big Brother Jiang, are you the Zhenbei Army? Why do you need so many post stations?"

Jiang Jinshi laughed: "The Prince of Zhenbei has been in the Northern Frontier for many years. Do you think he would only build a carrier pigeon post station today?"

Zhang Zhengyan's old face flushed red. He always felt he had asked a stupid question.

"Also, it's not 'you', it's 'us'. You are already a part of us now. We are all brothers from now on!" Jiang Jinshi patted Zhang Zhengyan's shoulder familiarly.

Zhang Zhengyan's eyes immediately welled up with tears. He hadn't expected his employer to be so approachable, not only saving him from fire and water but also treating him as a brother. From now on, he must work hard and never fail Big Brother's expectations.

"Since that is the case, Wang Hou, you take Xiao Yu and get to work! The sooner the better!" Jiang Jinshi didn't know what Zhang Zhengyan was thinking and was instructing Wang Hou.

Wang Hou nodded seriously upon hearing this: "It will definitely be completed within two months!"

"Good! Then you guys study how to start yourselves. I won't disturb you!" After saying this, Jiang Jinshi walked toward the door.

Zhang Zhengyan also knew that he would listen to Wang Hou from now on, so he immediately leaned forward and asked energetically: "Brother Hou, where do we start?"

Wang Hou also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he immediately prepared to walk outside, saying as he walked: "First, bring people to train you. One person can't finish it within two months!"

"Okay!" Zhang Zhengyan immediately prepared to follow. Just as he was about to step over the threshold, he suddenly thought of something and grabbed Wang Hou in front.

"Brother Hou, don't be in a hurry! There are bandits attacking the city; it's dangerous to go out now!"

While speaking, Zhang Zhengyan thought of Jiang Jinshi who had just gone out, and his face immediately turned pale. He hurriedly asked Wang Hou: "It's over! Big Brother Jiang just left, I'm afraid..."

Wang Hou couldn't help laughing upon hearing this: "Don't worry, little brother! Our Big Brother is no ordinary person; he'll be fine!"

"But those are bandits!" Zhang Zhengyan was still worried.

"Pfft! What are mere bandits? Even these bandits have to bow and say hello when they see our Big Brother!" Wang Hou felt this brother was a bit interesting, so he planned to tease him.

"Really? Is our Big Brother that valiant?" Zhang Zhengyan didn't believe it at first, but seeing Wang Hou wasn't the least bit nervous, he believed it a little in his heart.

Wang Hou grinned: "Don't believe me? I'll take you out to see!"

Zhang Zhengyan felt a bit nervous, but seeing Wang Hou had already stepped outside, he gritted his teeth and decided to follow.

The surrounding doors were tightly closed, and there was no one on the street, only the two of them walking!

Such a quiet atmosphere made Zhang Zhengyan want to persuade Wang Hou to go back. The next moment, he saw Jiang Jinshi's back at the street corner.

Zhang Zhengyan was just about to raise his hand to say hello, but suddenly saw that there were many people beside Jiang Jinshi, all holding large knives, looking fierce and evil.

Zhang Zhengyan knew the garrison in the city; they had unified armor and clothing, and were definitely not this group of people.

Then the identity of this group of people was obvious: bandits!

"Brother... Brother Hou! Big Brother is surrounded by bandits!" Zhang Zhengyan was at a loss and could only ask Wang Hou for help.

Wang Hou crossed his arms, looking indifferent: "It's fine! I told you, even bandits have to say hello when they see Big Brother! Put your heart in your stomach."

Zhang Zhengyan just wanted to say that even if you brag, you have to look at the time. In a moment, Big Brother will be chopped into meat sauce!

The next thing that happened shocked Zhang Zhengyan's eyes. He saw dozens of bandits respectfully saying hello to Jiang Jinshi and then slipping away, leaving only Jiang Jinshi's domineering back.

"This... this this this..." Zhang Zhengyan pointed at Jiang Jinshi, stuttering and unable to say a word!

"Didn't I tell you, don't worry blindly!" Wang Hou held back a wicked smile. Teasing this kid Zhang Zhengyan was really fun. Of course, he hadn't forgotten what Jiang Jinshi had ordered.

"Stop stuttering! Hurry up and get to work!"

"Where do we find people?" Zhang Zhengyan immediately followed Wang Hou's footsteps.

"The city gate!"

"Ah?"

……

Amidst Zhang Zhengyan's anxiety, the two still came to the city gate. At this moment, many bandits were still cleaning up the battlefield!

Zhang Zhengyan looked at the blood on the city wall and the corpses being carried to the city gate, and his whole body began to break out in a cold sweat, even trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Wang Hou immediately grabbed Zhang Zhengyan's shoulder: "You kid, calm down!"

Zhang Zhengyan was called back to his senses by Wang Hou's shout and immediately turned his head to stop looking. Just as he was about to say something, several bandits walked straight over.

"Captain, how are things going?"

These people were all brothers under Wang Hou, who had previously sneaked into Qingcheng in advance. Now that they had nothing to do, they could only wait for Wang Hou's orders.

"Notify everyone, all brothers assemble!" Wang Hou was serious, restoring his dignity as a captain.

"Yes!" Several people immediately stood at attention, knowing that requiring all brothers outside to assemble must mean something big had happened.

Wang Hou knew very well that the people under him were not enough, so he had to find new candidates to join as soon as possible. Since he had promised Big Brother that it would be completed within two months, nothing could stop him.

At this time, Zhang Zhengyan noticed something wrong. These people should also be bandits, and they just called Wang Hou "Captain"?

Seeing that the battlefield was almost cleaned up, Luo Feng arranged for people to burn the corpses outside the city. When he passed by Wang Hou, he said hello.

"Wang Hou, busy?"

"Yes! Big Brother gave me a heavy task, and I guess I'll be busy for a while!"

"You kid, keep it up!"

The two chatted for a few words and then separated. Zhang Zhengyan on the side was already very sure that Wang Hou was a member of the bandits, and it seemed his position was not low.

Wait, then isn't Jiang Jinshi...

Seeing Zhang Zhengyan's expression, Wang Hou leaned closer and said: "Welcome to Yangguangzhai!"

"Brother Hou... I'm scared..." The smile Zhang Zhengyan squeezed out was uglier than crying.

"What are you afraid of? You are Big Brother's brother, don't be so timid!"

"Uh... it's Big Brother I'm afraid of!" ===== CHAPTER 173 =====
