Chapter 209 If I don’t go this time, I’ll have no chance in the future
The men knew very well that if they didn't run away this time, they would have nothing to do in the future.
Boss Yang and Boss Yang are brothers and have a good relationship with them, but it is still a relationship of superiors and subordinates.
On dangerous sections of the road, they did not allow the brothers from the escort agency to follow them, and only gave their own brothers the easy money. Those brothers from the escort agency were much more important than their Qiao family.
It can be said that their use is necessary precisely because dangerous roads require them.
If they refuse out of fear of death, Yang Lao Da and Yang Lao Er will never take them on the road in the future.
Moreover, you can get 190 taels by making this trip, which is really tempting.
Of course they are wary of danger and afraid of death, but it would be a pity if they missed out on great opportunities in the future because of this.
Moreover, rather than fear, they have more courage to challenge.
Courage can support all strength and even inspire greater potential.
Boss Qiao said, "Every night, I practice the moves in the book that Brother Yang gave me. I think I've gotten pretty good at it, but I wonder what the results will be when I put it into actual combat."
"Me too. I always imagine that there is an enemy ahead, a good fighter, and how I can defeat him completely." Dayong continued.
Qiao Laosan: "Yes, we practice these diligently so that we can deal with more dangerous situations. What kind of challenge were those people we met last time? We only knew a few tricks, but we wiped them all out. If there are powerful ones, I'm happy to challenge them."
"Everyone says that the bandits of Kuiniu Country are powerful. I want to see how powerful they are. If we can kill them this time, we will become famous." Qiao Laosan said with great ambition.
The men in the Qiao family all said that they wanted to go and that they had to go.
As everyone spoke, they raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp to show their determination.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, are we leaving today?"
"Yes." Seeing that they had quickly come to their senses, Boss Yang smiled and said, "If there's no delay, we can be back within ten days."
"Okay, let's have a good meal and then we'll set off." Qiao Laoer nodded.
The men were eager to join the fight, but the elders and the women had gloomy faces and didn't pick up their chopsticks for a long time.
"Don't rush to make a decision." Mrs. Qiao said, "Let's talk about it after we finish this meal."
She was not a timid old woman, so the last time she sent the escort to the border, even though she knew there would be danger along the way, she still let them go.
With the skills she had acquired from years of hunting in the mountains, she didn't believe that those bandits could do anything to her sons and grandsons. Moreover, she felt confident escorting and protecting the emperor's convoy.
But it was different with the Kuiniu Kingdom. They were leaving the country and had no protection from the local government, which meant they had no backup. Those foreigners were ferocious and the situation was extremely complicated. If they were not careful, they could easily lose their lives there.
Boss Yang also understood the old man's feelings. No elderly person would be willing to see their children in danger.
Moreover, he had his own selfish motives in not allowing the brothers from the escort agency to go to Kuiniu Kingdom, so this made it even more difficult for him to urge them.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Everyone should eat and drink. After you finish eating, your family can discuss it and come up with a decision. Don't worry, we can wait for half a day."
Seeing that the two elders obviously disagreed with them going, and the women also looked disapproving, everyone's good mood suddenly dropped by half.
Even so, they still have to go.
As men, this is the time for them to play their greatest role. How can they let the whole family be carried by Jianer?
However, since Yang Lao Da and Yang Lao Er were here, it was not appropriate for them to argue at the dinner table.
"Besides, let's drink first." Boss Qiao picked up the wine and smiled apologetically at the two of them.
Qiao Jianer finished eating in advance, found some cloth, and wrapped a packet of chili powder in each cloth.
"Sister Jian'er, what are you doing?" Qiao Zhizhi asked when she saw it.
"This is chili powder. They can use it when they encounter bandits. It's more effective than swords."
"Ah, but grandpa and grandma won't let them go."
"If such big men want to go, who can stop them?" Qiao Jian'er said, "If they don't go this time, they won't have the chance to go again."
Looking at the determination of my uncles and brothers, even if they agreed not to go on the surface, they would secretly follow Yang Lao Da and Yang Lao Er.
They didn't go there to show off or anything. They wanted to contribute to the family and be of greater use. She could understand that.
Moreover, escorting is indeed a major source of income for this family. Many people cannot ask for such a lucrative job, nor can they leave it.
It just so happened that the Qiao family had the right time, place, and people.
If you are going, prepare them well.
After dinner, the two elders called their sons and grandsons into the main room.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, please have some tea and some melon seeds and candies first." Qiao Lao San quickly prepared these so as not to neglect the guests.
"Well, you guys take your time to discuss it." Yang Laodao said.
He and Yang Laoer looked at each other and thought that this matter might be a bit difficult to handle.
Qiao Jianer packed up all the chili powder. She thought she could prepare some sleeping pills, but forget it. She might get drunk by accident if she wasn't careful. Chili powder would be more effective.
Then, he filled everyone's water bags with the divine water in the space, which not only enhanced combat effectiveness but also accelerated the healing of wounds.
"Jian'er, why don't you persuade your uncles and cousins? They may not listen to your grandparents, but they will listen to you." Qiao Yunni said worriedly.
"Mom, they want to go. If you don't let them go, they'll always be worried about you."
"You mean, you also support them going to Kuiniu Kingdom?" Qiao Yunni saw that Qiao Jianer had prepared everything, which further confirmed her idea.
"It's not about whether I support them or not. This is what they want to do, and I respect their wishes."
"But what if—"
Qiao Jian'er looked at Qiao Yunni and said, "Mom, for the past month, I've watched my uncle and cousins practice their moves every day. They've been preparing for this day. Now that the opportunity has finally arrived, they're all rubbing their hands and getting ready to go into battle."
"They have to go anyway. Instead of putting on a sad face and putting a burden on them, it's better to encourage them and wish them the best."
The other women also heard her words, and they all remained silent, wavering in their hearts.
The first time, they knew there was danger, but the men were still determined to go. This time was no exception. You can tell from their attitude at the dinner table.
But they are really worried.
No matter which one of them is killed, it will be a pain that the whole family will never get over.
At this moment, the door to the main hall suddenly opened, and Old Lady Qiao came out chasing Xiao Meng with a feather duster in her hand: "You've become thick-skinned, huh? Your hair has grown back, huh? Your bones have become tough, huh? You even said you were going to sneak away while your grandfather and I weren't paying attention? Why don't you just run away and show me how to do it? I'll break your legs first."
