New year, same old job.

Chu Qing had to continue traveling around to promote cotton planting for the emperor, but there were not many guards left, so Xiaobao re-established his team.

First, thirty brothers who had been practicing martial arts since childhood were collected from among the veteran brothers at home and given to my mother, and they were assigned to be trained by Zhuo Yao.

"I still..." Zhuo Yao still wanted to follow Xiaobao.

Xiaobao said: "Ah, yes, help me bring the team out. Mom needs you more than me."

Xiaobao never allows others to say something bad about his mother.

What he really meant was that his mother was not very good at giving orders. Without a thoughtful and well-trained team, Chu Qing would most likely leave everyone to their own devices. Such a team would not be able to achieve the maximum effect.

In the interception incident encountered this time, Xiaobao's guards were obviously more advanced and retreated than Chu Qing in terms of cooperation.

Zhuo Yao asked: "What about your side?"

Xiaobao: "Chu Yuan and Gan Lai are following me, as well as 'Xiao Gan Gan' and 'Lai'a."

Chu Yuan and Gan Lai really showed their talents to their mother, but Xiaobao couldn't say this.

Zhuo Yao didn't object to Gan Lai's arrangement. Anyway, she really didn't play a big role in Chu Qing because of her gender convenience.

Besides, Xiaobao made more use of the combination of Gan Lai and Golden Eagle.

But Chu Yuan refused to leave Chu Qing: "Your mother is a loser without me following her... I have to work hard!"

Chu Qing said: "Listen to Xiaobao. Get Gan Lai first. Others are getting married, and you can't even hold hands with me!"

Xiaobao made a serious face: "Mom is immune to you, just follow me, I have to take care of your discipline issues!"

Chu Yuan touched his nose and did not dare to speak.

I don’t know why, but since Xiaobao woke up, everyone felt that Xiaobao was different from before, but they couldn’t tell what was different.

After assigning Zhuo Yao to Chu Qing, Xiaobao asked Huang Rong and Mu Nianci to have at least one of them by their side every day when Chu Qing was on business trips, and the two of them would take care of their daily lives together.

Xiaobao talks to everyone differently from Chu Qing. When talking about business, he calls everyone by name and gives orders directly; while Chu Qing always says: "Help me do whatever you want."

After allocating Chu Qing's escort force, Xiaobao drew Xiao Sining and the boy who had carried out the assassination of Wu Jichang to his side as his own team.

Together with Chu Yuan and Gan Lai, there are twenty-six guards on Xiaobao's side.

Xiaobao's idea is: Zhuo Yao is very good at leading a team. He can help his mother lead a more qualified guard team, which Chu Yuan cannot compare to.

However, Chu Yuan forcibly participated in the mission to assassinate Wu Jichang last time and became someone who shared a secret with him. Although this group of people is not very powerful in combat, their overall cooperation is pretty good. Xiaobao is ready to train them.

Furthermore, Gan Lai and he can control the golden eagle very well. They can take the golden eagle to various places to familiarize themselves with the routes, so that they can train their mother to use it as a communication tool in the future.

That is to say, Xiaobao plans not to be tied to his mother anymore because he has something to do.

"Mother, we will separate after we send you to the place this time." Xiaobao said.

"Why?" Chu Qing was surprised. Wouldn't it be more unsafe to separate? What should Xiaobao do if he encounters the last interception again?

"Don't worry, mother, the emperor has ordered various places to strictly investigate the mountain bandits and road tyrants. There will be no security problems in the short term," Xiaobao reassured his mother first, and then said: "Mother, I want to lead a team to open an escort agency.

From now on, our convoy can bring more people."

Xiaobao started working on the Escort Agency a year ago, but it was short-lived and has not yet been spread out. Xiaobao wants to make the Escort Bureau matter the top priority this year.

Xiaobao said: "Besides, this is a lot of money, I want to make money."

There are many kids in the family, and more and more stores are opened. Logistics is indeed a big problem.

Moreover, with the cover of the escort agency, Chu Qing and Xiaobao can bring more people with them when they go out.

"No, I'll handle the matter of the escort agency with you after my mother is done with her work. There's no need to make money. All our money is with you." Chu Qing did not agree.

"Mom, if you tie me to your waistband, not only will it not be safe, but it will also affect our respective development." Xiaobao's expression was very calm, and his words were a bit harsh.

"This..." These words made Chu Qing hesitate.

Meng Dong was controlled too much. Not only was he a little rebellious, but he was also very independent. Even his father said that he would be treated like a "mama's boy".

But Chu Qing had already let go of Xiaobao, but his life was at stake, so he had to be cautious.

Xiaobao said both hard words and soft words: "Mom, 'Xiao Gangan' and 'Lai'a' follow me. I will ask them to come back regularly to send you letters. You can always understand my situation and let others know.

They know the route well.

This matter is settled, you said, I am in charge and I have the final say."

The tone was still unquestionable.

In the past, Chu Qing said this to Xiaobao in order to cultivate his autonomy, mainly because Xiaobao was already very independent, but now, it felt like he was "shooting himself in the foot".

It can be seen that after becoming a mother again, Chu Qing still has not made much progress.

Overkill?

***************

In the imperial study, Buqun presented the latest secret letter to the emperor.

The emperor understood all the above, and also explained the reason for the late arrival of the news: Chu Qing's convoy encountered bandits and suffered heavy casualties. He was also injured and could not write. He was receiving treatment for his injuries every day with many people, so it was inconvenient to deliver the news.

The handwriting is crooked and crooked, and his hands are obviously badly injured, making it difficult to write.

The emperor nodded and said, why can't he receive the news?

Buqun lowered his eyelids, wondering how badly his son was injured. If he had known it was so, he shouldn't have written to him to ask for a reply. But the emperor asked, and it was impossible not to urge him.

I wonder if I can get real freedom for my son if I work so hard?

"Your boy didn't use all his strength? Or didn't you pass on all your skills to him? Why was he injured so badly?" the emperor asked.

If only the hand is injured, you will not need to receive treatment every day, which means you will not be able to get out of bed.

Buqun replied: "It should be because there are too many bandits, and the child cannot act too much."

He knew what his son was capable of, and he couldn't trap a third-level or fifth-level master. But if he still wanted to protect others... that would be a mistake.

Emperor: "Yes, that's right. I heard that there are a hundred or dozens of people. Those servants at Chuqing are just retired soldiers, not many experts."

He said that, but he was not prepared to send anyone to Chu Qing. It was against the rules.

The emperor looked at the secret message again: "Well, it's okay. Fortunately, there are a lot of people there. I have chosen thirty people again. Just thirty. Just say they are servants. Just don't let it slip."

This was considered to be agreement with Chu Qing's arrangement. With such numbers and strength, the emperor was not worried about any surprises.

"Tell your son to be more careful and don't put yourself in trouble. Also, take these banknotes. It's not convenient for me to reward you with other things. You can just use the banknotes and regard them as the tonic I rewarded for your boy."

Let's go." The emperor pushed a few banknotes to Buqun.

You cannot refuse this kind of reward, otherwise you will be dissatisfied with the emperor's arrangements.
