Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 210: Traveling Again

"They were only one or two days away from delivering the food, but heavy snow blocked the road for several days. They never imagined that the Westerners on the other side of the border would sneak across the defense line and launch a surprise attack. Fortunately, this team did not have too many people. After Zhenwei and his men drove away a wave of the enemy, they unexpectedly caught up with them again.

Unexpectedly, another wave appeared from behind and blocked their way. Now the Zhenwei brothers have been trapped there for ten days. The other party saw that they had food in their hands, so they kept chasing them.

But if we keep wasting time like this, we will eventually be captured by the enemy and our food will be stolen.

General Li Yun recently went abroad to fight the Liao soldiers. The Westerners may have calculated the timing and secretly sent people in. We don’t know when General Li Yun will find out, so they sent people back and wanted us to send more people to help.

"Then Dad, do you want my second brother to lead the team this time? Do you have soldiers? You can't move our troops here." Tian Xing'er's words made Prefect Tian sigh deeply again.

"Well, we can't move here. Zhao Shi and his men still have a group of soldiers to lead, but the other side has a lot of troops. I am mainly worried about not having enough time. Also, if they have new reinforcements, this matter will be even more difficult to deal with.

Besides, the Zhenwei brothers can’t hold out for a few days. If they hadn’t sent people out before they were trapped, I’m afraid no one would know they were trapped now.”

Prefect Tian is now worried about the lack of manpower on the one hand, and not enough time on the other. They cannot bring too many people on this trip, and they have to travel light so that they can arrive on time.

The person to lead the team was also a problem. He initially considered that it would be best if it was Zhao Shi or his deputy. Unexpectedly, they all left, and now only a few small soldiers are left, who can't accomplish anything.

Now we can only look for people on our side. Although Sima is from General Li Yun's side, they all have official positions and cannot leave without orders from the court. Moreover, they left with soldiers, otherwise they would be held responsible by others.

Now the only best candidate was his son. Tian Yuheng had to go on this trip, but he didn't expect his daughter to intervene. Now that he thought about how dangerous this matter was, he couldn't let his daughter go.

"This matter is so dangerous. Dad, why don't you let Zhao Shi's people go? It's not necessary for us to go. Second brother is just a person who can write and he doesn't know how to fight. How can you let him fight with others?" Tian Xing'er was a little hesitant after hearing this. It's better not to get involved in dangerous things.

"Dad, we have no choice. Otherwise, why would we let your second brother go? If we let anyone else go, they won't be able to convince the people. I'm afraid those soldiers won't listen. Your second brother at least has your father's identity behind him." Prefect Tian was also distressed. His son's trip was too difficult, and he was afraid that something might happen to his son.

When Tian Xing'er heard that her second brother was determined to go, she said, "Then I will go with you. I will bring my team to protect you."

Tian Xing'er's words made Tian Yuheng and his son curious, "Sister, what team?"

"My musketeer team. Before Uncle Zhenwei left, he only took a few people with him. A large part of them are still here. I would occasionally train with them."

This is the team that Tian Xing'er had trained with on the way north, and he himself is one of them.

When they arrived at Yingzhou Prefecture, some of them followed Tian Xing'er around and were busy everywhere, while the rest had actually been training. Tian Xing'er bought a few hills as soon as he came back, mainly because he was afraid that the person in charge of the prefect at that time would find out, so he kept everyone in the mountains.

So few people saw them, and my father was probably too busy to notice them.

"How many more people are there?" When Magistrate Tian heard his daughter talking about the musketeers, he remembered that they had not been in the city for a long time and he had forgotten about them. He knew a little about them when he was in the county town.

"Not many. We were only 20 or 30 people at the beginning. Later, I heard from Zhenwei that they picked a lot of new people to join. He took some of them away this time. I think there are only about 50 people at most."

"So many, enough, enough." When Magistrate Tian heard this, how could it be not enough? They were the musketeers, and he had been training them before, but most of them were taken away by his eldest son.

However, they have quite a few muskets here. I don't know where the eldest son found other craftsmen to make them, but they send a batch every once in a while. Some of them are brand new. However, due to the heavy snow recently, they were not received. Magistrate Tian was so busy that he almost forgot about them.

Also, the good ones among his subordinates are all with his eldest son, and the ones under his own command are slightly inferior, but he still knows that the ones under his daughter's command are the best in marksmanship.

It was a pity that I couldn’t get it right away at the beginning, and now I’m afraid my daughter will not give it to me even more.

"Then your second brother is safe this time. Xing'er, you don't have to worry. There are a group of people here, so you don't have to go. They will rescue him."

Magistrate Tian is happy now, as he is saved and is not so worried anymore.

"No, if you don't let me go, I won't lend you any soldiers. If you want to borrow soldiers, you have to let me go with you." Tian Xing'er still wanted to go with him. She was still worried about her second brother. Besides, she was good at shooting, so there would be no danger. The guards around her were also good at shooting. They could better protect her second brother and herself.

Magistrate Tian knew that if he didn't let his daughter go, he was afraid that she would not give it to someone else and would secretly follow them, so he had no choice but to agree.

"Xing'er, why do you have to go with me? This trip will still be dangerous after all. Even if you are not afraid of those Westerners, the heavy snow, cold weather and congested roads will be enough for you to endure." Tian Yuheng was still worried about his sister and didn't want Tian Xing'er to go.

"Brother, please stop talking. I am better than you. I know martial arts and marksmanship. I am better than you in every aspect. Otherwise, you should stay here and I will go."

"Dad, why don't you let me go and leave my second brother behind? He doesn't know how to do anything. If he goes, won't my aunt and the others worry? It's better for me to go alone. If there is danger, only I will be in danger. If two of us go, both of us will be in danger." Seeing that his second brother still refused to give up, Tian Xing'er began to belittle Dafa.

This made Tian Yuheng laugh out of anger, but he was indeed not as good as his sister, so he persuaded others to stop.

After hearing this, Magistrate Tian also found it funny. He thought that what his daughter said made some sense and considered letting his daughter go. However, he was reluctant to leave the girl alone.

Seeing that his father was still hesitating, Tian Yuheng hurriedly said, "Dad, just let me go with my elder sister. Even though she knows martial arts and can use a gun, she is still a girl. If anything happens, it will be easier for me as a man to handle it. And there is no need to worry about her being bullied by the soldiers because of her young age."

"Yes, yes, Yuheng is right, then you two should go together."
