The other few brothers were anxious when they saw Fifth Elder Brother take care of everything for him and Ninth Younger Brother.
"That won't do. We brothers should go together," Eighth Brother said urgently.
"In case there is news about father and two elder brothers, there are many of us brothers who could leave at any time," Sixth elder brother said.
Just when Seventh Elder Brother wanted to say something, Old Lady Mo spoke again.
"Alright, stop arguing. I'll decide this matter. It will be Jiuye, Chongyuan and Jingnian, three people going. Chu Han stays at home working, and Yuan Ce, your health hasn't fully recovered yet, so stay and take care of the family."
Old Lady Mo had the final say, and Mo Jiuye could not refute.
The Seventh and Eighth brothers at home felt very frustrated, but they knew clearly in their hearts that mother had always been uncompromising. Things she decided would not be changed.
But it also made sense to think about it. There were so many women in the family. If all the men left, it would be a great loss if danger was encountered.
He Zhiran had not expressed her opinion all along, because she felt that her mother-in-law's arrangement was very reasonable and spoke to her heart.
The other sisters-in-law and Mo Hanyue were extremely nervous, but they knew clearly that they had no say in this kind of thing. They could only pray in their hearts that the brothers going to the capital would return safely.
The trip to the capital city was already on the agenda. He Zhiran had to speed up preparing supplies.
After dinner, she entered the space and did not rest for a moment, preparing a large number of self-defense items for the brothers.
Bulletproof vests were essential. There was not only the unpredictable Mr. Si Meng in the capital city, but also Emperor Shunwu.
In case they encountered a battle, this thing could save lives.
There were also some special weapons, such as mini pistols, tranquilizer guns, stainless steel daggers, mini crossbows, grenades.
When in danger, these weapons could not only save lives, but also do great things if necessary, such as grenades that could flatten a place...
In addition to these, the most important thing was realgar to prevent gu worms and some antidotes.
Speaking of antidotes, there was a little bit of extract left from the dead gu worm last time. He Zhiran added some precious medicinal materials and made it into a universal antidote pill according to the book.
With antidote there had to be poison. Although it was not a good thing, it could come in handy at critical moments.
In addition, there were sufficient banknotes. She had already raised several thousand-mile horses in her space that could serve as their means of transportation.
As for how to explain the source to the two elder brothers, it was not something He Zhiran should consider. Mo Jiuye would naturally have a way to explain clearly.
Although the items were prepared, Mo Jiuye did not intend to leave immediately.
According to the time calculation, those two Southerners should have just arrived in the northwest. Whether they could successfully find the golden eagle would take some time.
The cunning Mr. Si Meng would also plan the time for them to return to the capital to check the results.
Therefore, he planned to set off a few days later.
He might as well take advantage of these few days to transport the timber back from the city.
This kept him busy for three days. All the little puppies in He Zhiran’s space had grown to adult size, and they were trained by Rice Ball to be more obedient than military dogs. Once they were released, they could directly guard the house.
Of course, there had to be a proper reason for the appearance of so many dogs.
Now He Zhiran didn’t need to worry about things like this. Mo Jiuye had already figured out the excuse.
That was, they were bought from herders in other cities through some channels.
In fact, he and He Zhiran were just being paranoid. They didn't know that the family had long been used to such strange phenomena.
Especially those simple-minded sisters-in-law in the family, they not only did not feel strange, but also secretly admired the ability of the ninth younger brother and his wife in their hearts.
After the dogs were brought home, Mo Jiuye arranged for some of them to patrol the mountain.
Preventing the Barbarians from invading was one aspect, and the main reason was that many of the fruit trees planted on the mountain had bloomed and fruited, and it was hard to prevent some people with impure thoughts from coveting them.
With the dogs guarding, even though they couldn't drive bad guys away, at least they could send a signal to the family.
Also, rabbits sheds and farmland were assigned a certain number of dogs to guard and patrol.
The Mo brothers were all military men. Although their army did not raise military dogs at the time, the Southern Borders had an extremely powerful military dog team.
In their understanding, those military dogs were even more fierce than wolves, and many Da Shun officials had suffered losses from those military dogs.
And so, the Mo brothers were very interested in these seemingly well-trained dogs.
Seventh Elder Brother was the one staying at home to guard, so he took the initiative to take over the management of these dogs.
It only took a day before Seventh Elder Brother went happily to find Mo Jiuye.
“Ninth Younger Brother, have these dogs received any training before?"
When Mo Jiuye heard Seventh Elder Brother ask this, he couldn’t help laughing to himself.
Weren’t they trained?
They were trained by a chubby rice ball.
Although he was sarcastic in his heart, he couldn’t say that when answering Seventh Elder Brother.
“Seventh Elder Brother, these dogs have indeed been trained by someone. Guarding the house is definitely no problem.”
"Not only can they guard properly, I see they are more capable than the military dogs raised by Southerners," Seventh Elder Brother praised again.
Mo Jiuye was interested and raised his eyebrows. "Oh? How capable?"
He had seen Rice Ball establish rules for those dogs in his wife's space, but he hadn't seen the abilities of these dogs himself. Hearing what the Seventh Elder Brother said, he also wanted to understand in detail.
When Seventh Elder Brother thought of the scene he saw today, he felt amused.
"Today I saw at the foot of the mountain that those dogs seem to have a leader. As long as the leader barks, they will line up in neat rows and then go up the mountain orderly.
Also, those dogs watching the crops maintain the same distance between each other. As soon as strangers approach, they will surround them collectively.
The ones guarding the rabbits shed are even more amazing. They can even help catch escaped little rabbits."
Mo Jiuye was also shocked to hear this. He didn't expect dogs could be trained like this.
"Hehe... Maybe the dog trainer has some special means. This is great. We will feel more at ease in the future."
Seventh Elder Brother nodded. "Yes, it really is. Now that you and Fifth Elder Brother are going to the capital, I alone can keep the family safe more easily."
