Chapter 126 Testing
Manager He immediately laughed, patted Captain Wang on the shoulder and said, "We are all from the same hometown and should help each other. Saying these things seems unorthodox!"

"But I can't afford to lose your kindness, so I'll let this matter go to me. Just wait for good news. But..."

Captain Wang immediately asked, "What do you mean, is there anyone else here that needs to be dealt with?"

Manager He shook his head and said proudly, "I have worked in the Liang family for half my life. I dare not say anything else. I don't need to consider anyone's face when sending two people to the escort team!"

"There's no one else to take care of, but there's something special about this escort team. We have to help load the goods at night!"

Captain Wang was moved and immediately led Manager He to continue, "Aren't we a transport team? Aren't the workers responsible for loading and unloading the goods? If we are also responsible for loading the goods, wouldn't that mean we are doing two jobs for one salary?"

Manager He immediately waved his hand and said, "It's not what you think. The main reason is that the owner doesn't trust the manual workers to load some of the goods, so we have to trouble the brothers in our escort team."

"But don't worry, the cargo we are going to load is much lighter than our wood."

"Also, when we are on the road normally, the most important thing for the escort team is to help with the trucks you loaded. If it comes to a critical moment, you can give up other things, but you must take away the trucks of goods you loaded. If you can't take them away..."

"What if you can't take it away?" Captain Wang asked immediately.

Manager He smiled and said, "If there is a river, push it into the river; if there is a mountain, push it down the mountain. In short, don't let others get it."

"Why is this?" Captain Wang suppressed his inner excitement and asked with pretended curiosity.

Manager He stopped talking and just took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "When you go to the escort team tomorrow, you will know it naturally."

The next day, Manager He kept his promise and found Captain Wang and the other two and asked them to follow him to the escort team.

The three of them came to a storeroom deep inside the warehouse and saw two servants fighting with broadswords at the door of the storeroom.

However, Captain Wang, who came from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, saw at a glance that these two servants were just a decoy, and there were at least five or six secret sentries in various places in secret.

If anyone thought that there were only these two servants at the warehouse door and had any plans, he would probably be immediately besieged by more than a dozen people.

The two servants holding machetes greeted Manager He and then opened the warehouse door.

Manager He also returned the greeting, and then took Captain Wang and the other two into the warehouse.

In the dim warehouse, there was an octagonal table near the door, with two or three people sitting next to it.

A scarred man at the top had his feet resting on a stool, holding a wine glass in one hand and taking a sip from time to time.

When he saw Manager He, he laughed and said, "Hey, Old He, what brings you here today?"

Manager He sat down in front of the scarred man with a more polite smile on his face. After greeting him, he turned to Captain Wang and the other two and said, "Why don't you two come and meet Captain Zhang..."

Captain Wang immediately pulled Xu Tian along, respectfully saluted the scarred man, and said, "My humble servant greets Captain Zhang."

The scarred man nodded, looked Captain Wang and the other two up and down, then turned to Manager He and said, "Old He, the people you brought this time are not bad. They look like they know some boxing skills."

Manager He laughed and said, "Speaking of which, these two are actually comrades of yours, Old Zhang!"

Captain Zhang narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and said in a cold tone: "Oh, they are also border troops of Datong Prefecture?" Manager He did not notice the change in Scarface Dahan's tone, and continued to introduce with a smile: "Of course, some time ago, Lin Danhan attacked Datong, and these two brothers did not want to lose their lives in vain, so they ran away."

The scarred big man Captain Zhang looked at Captain Wang and the other two with a cold gaze and asked, "So he is also my compatriot from Datong. I was a soldier under General Liu, the lieutenant commander of Datong. I wonder if he is doing well now and whether he can take advantage of the opportunity to be promoted?"

Captain Wang's heart tightened, and he immediately replied, "I don't know in which year this General Liu was appointed as the Lieutenant General of Datong. When my two brothers escaped, the Lieutenant General of Datong was Fang Zikun."

Although Captain Wang did not answer Captain Zhang's question, the gloom in Captain Zhang's eyes disappeared immediately. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Old He, the people you brought this time are the most reliable."

Manager He immediately laughed and said, "Look at what you said. When have the people I brought here been unreliable?"

Captain Zhang curled his lips and said sarcastically, "What kind of people are those you usually bring? They are as thin as bamboo poles and will fall down at the touch of a gust of wind. How can they be used as guards?"

"Tell me the truth, how much benefit did you receive?"

Manager He hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Team Leader Zhang was pestering him, he had no choice but to take out two taels of silver and said, "Okay, okay, today is my birthday, so I'll treat you to a meal of wine and meat, okay?"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone in the warehouse burst into laughter. Captain Zhang even grabbed the two taels of silver and threw it to someone next to him, asking him to go buy some wine and food.

The man grabbed the silver and stood up to leave, but when he passed by Captain Wang, Captain Wang suddenly stopped him.

The man didn't know what the new Captain Wang wanted to do, and looked at Captain Wang and Captain Zhang with some confusion.

Captain Zhang and Steward He also looked at Captain Wang curiously, only to see that Captain Wang searched his entire body and took out a handful of silver coins, estimating that there were about seven or eight cents.

He looked at Manager He awkwardly at first, then stuffed the food into the man's hand and said, "We two brothers have just arrived today, and it just so happens that Manager He is celebrating his birthday, so we might as well contribute so that everyone can eat and drink more!"

Everyone grinned immediately, and Captain Zhang praised: "You are a good kid, you have good eyes!"

"It's a pity that I was too timid to become a deserter. Otherwise, I might have made a career in the army."

Captain Wang immediately laughed and said, "Excuse me, Captain. I am just a poor soldier. The best I can do is become a general commander, and that's the end of it!"

Then he added: "In fact, we two brothers are quite courageous, but we don't need to defend this country for the emperor."

This sentence seemed to touch Captain Zhang's heart. The scarred man immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Hey, he's a man of insight!"

"When my brothers and I were standing guard while hungry, we thought about finding a mountain to live as bandits. If it weren't for our Master Liang sincerely inviting me to be the team leader, I would be a mountain king now!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Captain Wang and the other two also smiled, but a gleam of light flashed in their eyes inadvertently.
