"How long will it take to gather the men?" Ye Jiu asked directly.
"The original men are all from nearby villages. After the Escort Agency disbanded, they had no choice but to rely on farming and hunting for a living. Gathering them again is merely a matter of speaking," Lu, the head of the escorts, replied solemnly.
"If that's the case, I hope Mr. Lu can do it as quickly as possible," Ye Jiu explained. "Moreover, although we are carrying goods this time, our primary purpose for going to the capital city is to find someone. My brother went to the capital city before New Year due to some matters and hasn't returned since. Our main objective is to find him. Mr. Lu has been outside for many years and has broad experience, so I will need to trouble you to take great care along the way."
