"Then I'll trouble you to tell me the details." Gu Xihao bowed deeply, and Gu Xixian also stood up and bowed quickly.

Because the ancient ancestor entrusted his son to the Yuan family, let's call it entrusting his son to the Yuan family, the Yuan ancestor knew much more than the others. At the moment, he did not shirk responsibility too much, but told the brother and sister what he knew, and the other three ancestors occasionally supplemented it.

The brother and sister listened very carefully, and quickly listed some important points in their minds. When the ancestor finished speaking, the brother and sister had roughly understood the general situation.

"Grandfather, do you mean that my ancestors' Ning'an Guards are scattered in the northern border area? As long as Xuanmu Ning'an issues an order, they will automatically return?" Gu Xihao confirmed again. Why does this seem so unreliable? Whose loyalty can remain unchanged for hundreds of years?

Gu Xixian also took a wait-and-see attitude towards this. Anyway, she didn't have much hope.

The Yuan Laozu nodded. He also saw that the Gu Xixian brothers and sisters didn't care. He thought for a moment and then said, "Child, there are many kinds of people. Some people are driven by interests and do whatever it takes. Some people are loyal and brave for the country and the people. Some people are willing to fight for their friends. Some people are obsessed with filial piety and loyalty. You can be skeptical now, but when you meet them, you must treat them sincerely. There will be miracles."

A wise person knows when to stop and it is not good to say too much. Yuan Laozu’s words were meaningful, but both the brother and sister understood them.

"Thank you for your teachings, Grandmaster. We boys will keep them in mind." Gu Xihao bowed and responded. He would not give any promises, as no amount of promises could compare to real actions, but he listened to Grandmaster Yuan's words.

"Who are you going to send to the Northern Frontier to pick up people?" Patriarch Duanmu asked, "I heard that your business is doing well, so there should be merchants from there, right? We can borrow their passage."

"Reporting to the ancestor, except for my grandfather and my brother and me, no one else in the family knows about what our ancestors have told us. My grandfather has entrusted all these matters to my brother and me, so no one else in the family will be involved." Gu Xihao answered respectfully.

"What? No one else in your family is involved? All these things are left to you two?" Patriarch Xiao and Patriarch Wu were extremely surprised. Was this a mysterious trust in the two little kids, or did the Gu family not know what was behind this? Regardless of the situation, the modern head of the Gu family was really generous.

"Ancestor, yes, my brother and I will take full charge of the subsequent events." Gu Xihao replied again in a resounding voice.

"Good, you have ambition!" Patriarch Duanmu slapped the table, and the teacups on the table performed a bungee jump, spilling tea all over his sleeves. However, he didn't care at all, but stood up and paced back and forth, muttering to himself: "Good boy, good boy, why didn't this happen in my family?"

"Third brother, sit down. Your family is not bad either." Although he said so, the appreciation in Yuan Laozu's eyes could not be hidden. He never thought that the Gu family would make such an arrangement. He also had to sigh that the Gu family was really bold in dealing with things.

If Grandpa Gu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say: Our family is really short of manpower, so we have to let the two kids suffer like this.

"That's fine, then do you plan to borrow the power of your teacher to do this?" Yuan Laozu asked tentatively, "It's not like you two are going alone, right?"

"Ancestor, that's exactly what I thought." Gu Xihao replied with a smile. All things are difficult at the beginning, and the hardest part is always to do it yourself.

Patriarch Duanmu was furious again: "What can a weak kid like you do? That's the Northern Frontier, a place full of good and bad people. Are you talking nonsense?"

"Don't worry, old ancestor. I have my own arrangements." Gu Xihao replied firmly, and then said a little embarrassedly: "It would be great if the old ancestors could lend me some manpower."

The ancestor stroked his beard and said, "We thirteen families have shared resources. I'm sure you already know that this shared resource also includes a shared personal guard of 100 people. Since you have decided to go in person, I will give you the qualification to use it this year."

"Thank you, ancestor." Gu Xihao did not ask any more questions, nor did he say anything in fear that he would not be able to suppress his feelings.

"You have come a long way, go and rest first. We can talk about other things tomorrow." The Yuan Laozu waved his hand and asked them to go down and rest.

The brother and sister stood up and said goodbye and left, with the Yan family's attendants leading the way.

After the brother and sister left, Xiao Laozu couldn't help but ask: "Brother, can those two kids suppress those people?"

The Yuan Lao Zu smiled with great relief: "It seems that those two kids have some abilities that we don't know about. Sixth brother, we are really old."
