Mo Lingwei pondered for a moment, then asked Mr. Cui, "The Protectors I had you arrange for earlier—how many are there in total now?"
"Between my main residence and my other properties, there are eighty men available in total."
Eighty...
Protectors were not the same as guards or Hidden Guards. Most of them were just able-bodied men who knew some basic martial arts.
Cangyun Country had clear regulations: merchants like Mr. Cui, no matter how large their business, could not possess a large number of guards, to avoid any suspicion of rebellion.
For Mr. Cui to be able to gather eighty Protectors was already quite impressive.
Unfortunately, the skills of most Protectors were average and couldn't compare to regular guards.
"It's enough to hold out for a few days," Mo Lingwei said.
Fortunately, he had made arrangements early, and Mr. Cui was fully prepared.
Mo Lingwei had Mr. Cui summon all the Protectors to the Cui Mansion.
