913: Chapter 915 The Death of Jin Guifei (7) 913: Chapter 915 The Death of Jin Guifei (7) Cai Wei’s steps halted.
“I do not slay the benevolent, but the benevolent perish on account of .” She only thought about helping Nangong Yi gather food, stealing Li Tieji’s food, yet she never expected to implicate an innocent Protector.
This debt was hers to repay.
Cai Wei called over Auntie Liu and quietly gave her a few instructions.
Then she, along with Zhao Yun and Chun Liu, squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards a teahouse on the street.
The shop assistant at the teahouse warmly welcod them upon their arrival.
Cai Wei asked for a private room upstairs and after settling in, she quietly waited.
Before long, Auntie Liu brought the two n in.
They appeared to be in their early twenties, looking robust and sturdy, although their skill was unknown.
“Miss, may I ask why you’ve summoned us here?” one man asked politely, greeting Cai Wei with a clasped-fist salute.
Cai Wei gestured with her hand, “Please sit.
Let’s talk slowly.”
The two n sat down unperturbed and said, “May we know what’s on Miss’s mind?”
“I will resolve your elder brother’s matter.
Within a month, I assure you he will be freed from his imprisonnt.
How does that sound?” Cai Wei said.
The two n exchanged glances, skeptical yet hopeful.
One of them asked, “Why would Miss want to help us?
And what would you require in return from us brothers?”
Cai Wei thought to herself, ‘This situation was indeed caused by .
Saving your brother is only reasonable and expected, so why would there be a need for repaynt?’
However, these thoughts could not be voiced out loud.
After pondering for a mont, she said, “I notice that the two of you possess remarkable skills, so I’d like to enlist your aid in escorting so goods from Lingbei to the Capital.
Each successful delivery will earn you and your brother five hundred taels of silver, along with my assistance in rescuing your elder brother.
What are your thoughts?”
Upon hearing this, the two n imdiately knelt down and said, “If Miss can indeed save our elder brother, we brothers are willing to follow Miss in life and death, and look to Miss for all commands.”
Cai Wei laughed and said, “Good, good!
Please, rise and speak.
By the way, how may I address you two?
What are your ages?
Do you have families?
If you are to escort goods for throughout the year, would it disrupt the peace of your hos?”
One man replied, “Miss, my humble na is Sun Hu, twenty-one years of age.
Although I am married, my wife scorned our poverty and left, so I am still alone and don’t have any family ties pulling at .”
The other spoke up, “Humble one here goes by the na Sun Bao, nineteen this year.
I’m the third in my family, and due to our poverty, I have not been able to take a wife.
If I can escort for Miss for a couple of years and save so money, it would be splendid to then marry.”
“Excellent, consider it settled.
For now, you brothers should stay at ‘Qin An Inn.’ Should any issues arise, you can find at King Qin’s Mansion,” Cai Wei said.
At that mont, Cai Wei was extrely pleased.
The brothers had no family entanglents, which made them ideal for escorting goods for a couple of years, helping her transport glass and ginseng, among other things.
In fact, with Space and the white fur tiger at her disposal, she didn’t truly need their escorting services.
The brothers were rely a tool for her to divert attention.
Every so often, she would travel to Lingbei to collect glass.
Once acquired, she could safely transport any quantity to the Capital inside Space overnight without breaking a single piece.
Yet, if her glass shop conducted large scale sales with no evidence of glass delivery, it might attract unwanted attention.
Thus, she intended to use the brothers as a front, to play the role of the ard escorts.
As for how much glass they could bring and whether it broke during transport, those were inconsequential matters.
