Bai Shan tilted his head: "Ask directly?"
Mr. Zhuang and Assistant General Nie nodded together, and Assistant General Nie said, "He is a very straightforward person." Actually, he's direct; whatever he wants, he says directly.
Manbao then asked, "How much money does he want?"
Assistant General Nie said, "A guide, twenty taels, ten taels per person, ten people with ten horses and ten knives, one hundred taels, twenty people for one hundred and fifty taels."
Manbao was stunned, "So expensive? We already have quite a few people."
Assistant General Nie nodded, "I also think it's expensive; with so many of us, hiring two guides from him should be enough."
They aren't a trade caravan; apart from the soldiers, even the Bai Family and Yin Family's guards have seen blood. With over a hundred people, there's really no need to hire more.
However, Mr. Zhuang wanted to be more cautious. He was very concerned about what he mentioned about the unrest in various regions.
