Parents are busy farming

These words were really beyond the other party's expectations. He originally thought that Zhang Gaoyi would definitely ask him to release those detained people immediately, and might even become furious and fight with him.

To this end, he had already arranged many servants to hide in the dark in case of emergency.

However, now Zhang Gaoyi not only did not make such a request, but also allowed him to continue to detain people and asked him whether he needed some kind of compensation.

This sudden change makes the other party begin to doubt whether he has been too dismissive of others and has lost the respect he deserves.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Could it be that the reason why he had never been taken seriously was because he thought about things too simply?

"You...you really want me to keep them locked up?" he asked Zhang Gaoyi again in disbelief.

Zhang Gaoyi nodded in affirmation without hesitation.

The other party then asked: "Why?"

Zhang Gaoyi explained slowly: "Tomorrow I plan to bring my mother home, and then we need to discuss how to deal with these people. I have always been alone, and I don't have a good relationship with these people at home. I don't want to see them cause me trouble again, so I'll take this opportunity to send them back."

After hearing this, the other party suddenly realized and asked, "So, General, you are using me?"

Zhang Gaoyi responded: "That's why I asked what compensation you need."

The other party continued, "The compensation you mentioned is a way to make up for the fact that I was taken advantage of? Are we making a deal?"

Zhang Gaoyi smiled and replied, "So, are you willing to accept this condition? After all, this is the best result you can get from stopping me today. How does it compare to what you originally expected?"

The young man remained silent, and just waved to his followers to ride away together.

Zhang Gaoyi continued to head towards the military camp.

The people around the boy galloped along with him until the horses gradually slowed down.

One of them couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, why didn't you say a word when the general asked you what kind of compensation you needed? And, have you agreed to help the general?"

The young man explained: "This matter is not something I can decide. I must go back and ask my father for his opinion first, so as not to affect the situation in the court due to my personal behavior."

At this time, the servant beside him curiously asked: "So, Master, what do you personally think about this?"

The boy said frankly: "Of course I hope to be able to help."

The servant said, "Master, don't you want to join the Tiger Army? Why don't you take this opportunity to tell the general? What if you get in?"

The boy didn't say anything, because he knew that this matter was not that simple.

His father, Marquis of Fengyang, might not necessarily agree to him entering the military camp.

Moreover, he also has to consider the interests of the entire family.

He has received too much protection from his family since he was a child, and now it's time to repay them.

However, deep down he still longed to agree to help the general.

After returning home, the boy told his father about this.

After hearing this, the old man was silent for a long time.

As a descendant of the Fourth Prince, Marquis Fengyang is well aware of the interests involved.

"What do you think? Do you want to help the general of the Tiger Army?" Marquis Fengyang finally asked.

When the boy was asked this by his father, he immediately nodded and said honestly: "Yes, Dad. I want to help them."

Marquis Fengyang looked at his son deeply and sighed inwardly.

He understood that his son had grown up and had his own opinions and decisions.

Although he did not fully agree, he could not stop his son from pursuing his ideals.

The young man frowned and explained, "The news about the general's wife has spread all over the capital. To be honest, I don't care whether the general will be affected by the old woman, but I am very worried that the Tiger Army will be implicated because of the loss of the general. I have no interest in the fight between the princes, but I really don't want to see the invasion of foreign races."

When Marquis Fengyang heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised and relieved.

He never thought that his son, who always seemed dull, could have such profound thoughts.

He sighed deeply and said slowly: "Hey! Since you have such an idea, then do it according to your wishes! If you really want to join the Tiger Army, you don't have to worry about the situation at home."

However, for some reason, Marquis Fengyang suddenly had a strong intuition recently, as if the distance between the Fourth Prince and the throne was getting farther and farther.

He couldn't pinpoint the exact problem, but the situation in the court was turbulent and unpredictable.

This uneasy premonition made him start looking for other ways out and possibilities for his family.

After all, the title of marquis he inherited came from his ancestors, and he absolutely did not want to see this family business destroyed in his hands.

The boy's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment, and he asked in disbelief: "Dad? You actually agreed?"

Fengyang Hou's face turned cold again, and he said in a serious tone: "So what if I agree? This is not my decision alone. Whether the Tiger Army wants you or not will ultimately depend on your own ability. I heard that not just anyone can join the Tiger Army. Although they promised to compensate you, they did not explicitly say that they would accept you into the Tiger Army. So, everything depends on your own efforts."

The sun was shining and the breeze was not dry. When Zhang Gaoyi came out of the military camp, he saw a young man standing outside the camp leading a horse.

The young man was wearing luxurious clothes and had a childish look on his face. He seemed out of place in this military camp, but Zhang Gaoyi did not look down on him for that.

He rode his horse towards the young man and asked, "Have you made up your mind? Want to trade?"

The young man looked up at Zhang Gaoyi in the light, and saw that Zhang Gaoyi was tall and mighty in the sunlight, emitting a light that made people dare not look directly at him.

The boy tilted his head slightly, then nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I've thought about it! I agree!"

Zhang Gaoyi asked again: "What compensation do you want?"

The boy answered without hesitation: "I want to join the Tiger Army!"

Zhang Gaoyi smiled and said, "I can help you train. When you are competent enough, you can join the Tiger Army. This is all I can do."

The boy looked determined and said, "Okay, it's settled."

Zhang Gaoyi nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I will send someone to contact you. After this is over, you can come to the Princess Mansion in Xiamen, Fuzhou. I will arrange training for you then." After that, he turned and left.
