Chapter 21 The Spoils of War
Chapter 21 Trophies
On the way back home, Ji Que suddenly stopped.
Wang Hua saw this and said hurriedly: "There is a lack of heroes, what's the matter?"
Ji Que looked at a part of the deserted forest and said doubtfully, "There seems to be something watching us there."
"What! I'll do it!"
After hearing Ji Que's words, senior brother Chen Zhu rushed out first with a lotus leaf hat on his head without saying a word.
I saw the grass in the deserted forest twisting for a while, and Chen Zhu came back soon, holding a wild cat covered in mud in his hand, and said excitedly: "Young hero, as expected, there is something that is peeking at us with ill intentions. How should we deal with it?
Shall it be braised or roasted after being chopped?"
wildcat:"???"
Ji Que: "."
Monk Lingyu clasped his hands together and murmured: "Amitabha."
After Ji Que and others left, a figure flashed past in the deserted forest and quickly disappeared into the rain.
When Ji Que and the four returned to Sangshui County, Xue Baotou had already been waiting there.
He held Ji Que's hand and heard the news that the Wind Lotus Sect had been eradicated. His eyes turned red with excitement and he kept claiming credit for Ji Que.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji, you are really a blessing to my Sangshui County. I came here with the order of the county magistrate. I will definitely give you a big reward."
As soon as he heard that there was an additional reward, Ji Que quickly held the other person's hand and said, "How can I be so embarrassed? I'll trouble Xue Captou."
"No trouble, no trouble."
"You are more concerned about this matter."
"Definitely, definitely, I will handle it urgently."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
"No, no, it's your duty."
Chen Zhu, Wang Hua and other senior brothers and sisters looked at Ji Que and Xue Baotou shaking hands politely with their faces confused.
The old monk Lingyu had a smile on his face, as if he had seen through everything.
Chen Zhu and Wang Hua were born into a wealthy family, and they were also inner disciples of the Utensil Sect. They didn't like luxury, but they had never been short of supplies, so they didn't really have much idea about money.
But the old monk is different. He has traveled far and wide and has been in the world for many years. He knows the principle of "a few taels of silver can stump the heroes."
Those who spend a lot of money and spend a lot of money are mostly from strong families and have considerable assets, while some knights from ordinary backgrounds still have to worry about money even if they are slightly famous.
Yes, there are many ways for these people to get rich.
But if a person's bottom line is very high, the road to wealth is actually quite narrow.
On the way back, Ji Que heard that Wang Hua and the others were from the Tianren City area, and couldn't help but ask about the local food and beauty.
Having lived in two lifetimes, when Ji Que goes to a place, what he wants to know most is never the girl, but the food.
After this exchange, he realized that some of the delicacies in Tianren City were very expensive.
Qiankun roast goose, king crab shell, Huoyun beef tenderloin fried rice, etc. are all what he is interested in.
Unfortunately, according to Wang Hua and others, even the cheapest Huoyun Beef Fillet Fried Rice costs five taels of silver a portion.
Five taels of silver can last for a year and a half here in Sangshui County, but only one meal there.
However, Ji Que generally understands that Michelin-starred restaurants are never cheap.
As a person who is about to become an adult, he wants it all, whether it is a roadside stall or "Michelin".
As a result, Ji Que felt that he was even poorer, so he couldn't help but become excited when he heard about the reward.
Under normal circumstances, he will only be excited.
Xue Baotou's hand was shaken numb again, but he felt relieved after knowing that the Wind Lotus Sect here had been uprooted.
He already knew what his eldest brother was thinking, and it was nothing more than whoever wins and helps whom.
But compared to the gloomy and terrifying Wind Lotus Sect, he obviously wanted to help Ji Que and these demon-conquering people more.
At least they are more like human beings, especially Ji Que, who is a young and talented person, highly capable, humble and polite, and is truly the best among people.
"Young hero, I really don't know how to repay you for saving your life." Wang Hua held Ji Que's left hand and said sincerely.
"No, no, it's just a matter of convenience." Ji Que said politely.
"We say goodbye today. I don't know when I will see you again, young hero." Chen Zhu held Ji Que's right hand and said reluctantly.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'll probably go to Tianren City this year. Brother, just remember to treat me to Qiankun roast goose." Ji Que said politely again.
"Really? When!"
"About winter."
After taking turns to be polite and being shaken by Wang Hua and Chen Zhu more than a dozen times, Ji Que was free.
He turned to look at the old monk Lingyu.
Lingyu knew what Ji Que was going to do as soon as he saw Ji Que raising his hand, and immediately saluted and said: "Master Ji, the green mountains will not change and the green water will flow forever. The old monk will handle the bounty matter as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Master."
At this point, Ji Que said goodbye to the three demon conquerors.
As demon conquerors, they still had finishing touches and other work to do, so they had to leave.
As a result, just after taking a few steps, Chen Zhu turned around and said, "Ji Qianqianxia, I dare to ask how many people in your family are married? I have a sister."
Chen Zhu still wanted to speak, but was dragged away by the old monk.
By this time, it was almost dark.
Ji Que returned home and started counting the loot.
The broken diary was thrown aside by him. He counted the money in his pocket again and again, and found that there were really only six or two or three coins.
"Poor." Ji Que couldn't help but complain.
It is really disappointing for a divine envoy who can't even afford half a Qiankun roast goose in Tianren City.
But what follows is all something to be happy about.
The bounty in the Demon-Conquering Tower is at least one hundred taels. Sangshui County is poor, but after all, the reward was increased twice, so why should it be thirty taels?
With his original savings of one hundred and twenty taels, plus the gold leaves worth five hundred taels of silver, Ji Que couldn't help but have a bold idea.
In the days to come, as long as I get through the "devoting all my efforts to protect wealth stage" and enter the "risking my life to make money stage", it is possible to break through a thousand taels of silver.
With thousands of taels of silver, there is no problem in living the magical life of "braised pork every day, daughter is red every day" in Sangshui County.
But Ji Que suddenly calmed down when he thought of the sesame cakes and the engagement, as well as the terrible prices of food in Tianren City.
A portion of Qiankun roast goose cost fifteen taels of silver. A thousand taels of silver seemed like a lot, but it turned out to be less than sixty-seven roast geese.
Is this roast goose made of gold?
Immediately, he thought about Chen Zhu's offer to treat him to Qiankun roast goose, and he couldn't help but think that this friend could handle it.
After finishing the calculation, he counted the coins many times and hid them in thirty-three secret places. Only then did Ji Que relax.
He crossed his legs and couldn't help but look at the diary.
People are born with the desire to voyeuristically, and Ji Que is also not exempt from this habit.
Reading other people's diaries can satisfy this perverse desire.
"There may be clues to the money hidden in this diary."
Yes, until now, Ji Que still doesn't believe that Zhizhi only has this little money. After all, he is the envoy of God and the boss worshiped by Ma and Yunliang.
The boss may be poorer than his subordinates, but one has five hundred taels less, while the other only has six hundred taels less. The difference is too big.
It was so big that it was hard for Ji Que to accept it.
Ever since, Ji Que no longer hesitated and opened this slightly old book.
Then he soon discovered that Finger was a psychopath.
