Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

After a brief greeting, everyone knew Huo Tong's identity.

It was only at this time that the people Huanhuan and the others gathered realized that there was such a force behind their master.

They all practiced martial arts. Although they were not top-notch, they could all see that Huo Tong's martial arts was definitely better than theirs.

If the master has such a person under his command, how powerful must the master be?

Before they could think about it any further, Leng Youran spoke.

"Okay, everyone has met each other. From now on, we are a family. Now let's get busy. Huo Tong, Huan Huan, you stay here."

She had achieved her goal, and there was no point in keeping these people.

She could see that these people were suspicious of her when they first saw her, but now that they knew there was someone like Huo Tong by her side, it had a deterrent effect on them, and that was enough.

There was no way. She didn't want to expose her abilities yet, so she could only use Huo Tong to block it.

After everyone left, only six people remained in the hall. Leng Youran then said, "Tomorrow, Huo Tong, you will bring twenty brothers here. I believe you have noticed that these people are just a mess right now. I want you brothers to train them well."

"Master, if you trust me, I can have someone take them to our base, where..."

Before he could finish his words, Leng Youran raised his hand to interrupt him, "I trust you, but I don't know these people yet. You don't need to go over there. Just let the brothers come over."

Huo Tong didn't expect Leng Youran to say this, but then he thought that this was indeed safer.

"it is good."

Leng Youran thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go with you to meet the others tonight!"

Huo Tong thought Leng Youran was worried about his people, and just as he was about to explain, he heard Leng Youran say:

"Don't worry, it's not that I'm worried about you. You and Huanhuan were all chosen by my grandfather. I trust you. I just want to see for myself what they are suitable for."

Huo Tong felt relieved when he knew that she didn't have any doubts about them.

"Huo Tong, how long have you been in Liangzhou?"

"It's been about eight years now." He was only eighteen years old that year, and now he is twenty-six.

Eight years?

Leng Youran silently recited this number in his mind.

It turns out that my grandfather had started planning for her return eight years ago.

"Those other brothers too?"

"No, a few of them came with me, and the others were sent here by the old master. Moreover, as far as I know, most of those sent here are the best among the secret guards, and some of them are even better than me in martial arts."

Leng Youran was not surprised at all. Mr. Leng's kindness to her was definitely not limited to the surface. He left the best for her, which made her very touched.

Thinking of the old man, a smile appeared on his face.

"Master, how long will it take for the old master and the others to arrive?"

Leng Youran thought for a moment and said, "Probably another month."

They were on the road all the time except for a short rest at night, and her special ability helped them to regulate their bodies along the way so that they could arrive so quickly.

There are still many women and children there. Even if they go to Zhoucheng and Liancheng to drop off the people from the Li and Fang families, they won't be able to get there quickly.

"One month, that's exactly the twelfth month. The weather in the north will be very cold by then. If the mountains are blocked by heavy snow..."

Leng Youran suddenly remembered after being reminded by him. Yes, they had encountered several snowfalls along the way. After that, it would surely snow even more heavily in the north. By then...

"let's go."

Everyone was confused when they heard the order, "Master, where are we going?"

"Huo Tong is going to your place!"

"Okay." Huo Tong stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing him about to leave, Leng Youran suddenly remembered something and said to Huanhuan, "Wait, Huanhuan, go and bring the six people who are going with you this time. Let's go together."

Huo Tong did not show any dissatisfaction when he heard this. He knew that since Leng Youran made such arrangements, those six people must be trustworthy.

Huanhuan was very fast and brought several people over quickly.

Huo Tong led a group of people out of the house and after several twists and turns, they arrived at the back door of a courtyard.

Huanhuan and the others were so confused that they felt dizzy, but Leng Youran had a barely perceptible smile on his face.

He glanced meaningfully at Huo Tong beside him.

Huo Tong met her gaze and smiled calmly.

It seems that his little trick did not fool his master.

Huo Tong knocked on the door regularly. The person who opened the door only needed to glance at Leng Youran standing beside him to know the identity of the visitor. Just as he was about to greet him, Leng Youran raised his hand to interrupt him, "Let's go inside and talk."

The group entered the yard, and the people below had received the news and gathered together.

Leng Youran took a quick look and saw that there were less than eighty people here.

Huanhuan and the others also came from the Dark Guard Camp, so they felt very familiar when facing these people.

However, the six people who were brought here were frightened by the aura emanating from the group and did not dare to move forward.

Leng Youran keenly sensed the emotions of several people and said to Huo Tong, "Send someone to take them there to practice a little."

Huo Tong waved his hand, and several people came out of the team and left with the six people.

"Give these people a good training. Tomorrow, when your people go there, take a good look to see if there are any worth training among them."

"Yes, master." Huo Tong responded and led Leng Youran to the lobby.

After Leng Youran sat down, everyone in the courtyard entered the hall in an orderly manner. After everyone entered the hall, they knelt on one knee in unison, clasped their fists, and said in unison: "Welcome, Master."

"Get up! I'm just here to see you today. Don't be restrained, just do what you need to do. If anything happens, Huo Tong will come to you."

"Yes, master."

After everyone left, Leng Youran gestured for Huo Tong, Huan Huan and the others to sit down.

"Huo Tong, you just said that the mountains in the north will be closed?"

"My Lord, yes, every year around the twelfth lunar month, the surrounding mountains are covered with snow, and sometimes avalanches occur. This year's snow came late, and in previous years, few people would go out in this area at this time."

Leng Youran still didn't have a thorough understanding of the situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Now hearing him talk about it, he couldn't help but think of the Northeast in his previous life.

Winter also comes early there, and almost every family stays in hibernation when winter comes.

It seems that the situation here is very different from the Northeast in my previous life!

Or maybe I just don't know enough. I originally thought she could do a lot of things by coming here earlier, but now it seems...

"I just saw that there are less than a hundred people outside, but have you arranged other things?"

Huo Tong clasped his fists and said, "My Lord, besides some people staying in Taoyuan Residence, a few others were sent by my subordinates to the surrounding towns to gather information."
