What did Shen Mengting want to say? Zhao Yu couldn't help but tilt his head. He thought that the woman had been hiding all this time, why was she so trying to come out now?

At present, Zhao Yu is not the only one in the team who is puzzled, and the other members are also full of doubts. Especially Qian Hao, he even opened his mouth 'wow'.

"How's that? Can you listen to me?"

In the face of Shen Mengting's inquiry, Lieutenant Chen Ziqun also calmed down. After shaking his body a few times, he motioned for his subordinates who were tied up to get out of the way. Who would have thought that those soldiers still touched the lieutenant as if they were still a little worried.

"Hey, what are you doing? Didn't you hear me? I told you to let go of your hands! Release them all for me! What are you afraid of me killing myself? Quickly let go!"

At the lieutenant's insistent request, the soldiers gradually let go. Still, some soldiers were full of complaints.

'Didn't you just kill yourself?' said a few soldiers.

Seeing that the force restraining himself dissipated, Lieutenant Chen Ziqun also tidied up his clothes a little. After a long time, he slowly walked in front of Shen Mengting again.

"What do you want to say?" said the lieutenant, as if trying to make a deputy straighten his waist. However, judging from his constantly twitching body, he had no confidence at all.

Shen Mengting looked directly at the other party's gaze, and also corrected the position of the horse she was riding. In this way, both the horse she was riding and her own head were facing the lieutenant.

"You cried so much before, it was because you broke the vase that was supposed to be escorted!"

Shen Mengting's words were still quite explicit, which made Lieutenant Chen Ziqun angry.

"What do ......you mean by crying? I ......"

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Let's still think about how to solve the problem!" That is, when Chen Ziqun was about to have a seizure, Shen Mengting directly raised his hand to suppress his momentum.

Even though Chen Ziqun was very unconvinced, he also knew that Shen Mengting was not wrong. So, after a fierce struggle, he still forcibly cooled down his thoughts, "Then tell me! What should I think?"

"What kind of vase are you escorting?" Without the slightest foreshadowing, Shen Mengting asked directly.

However, this question also stunned Chen Ziqun, including the group of soldiers behind him.

"What...... What vase? vase...... Isn't it just a vase!" Chen Ziqun kept blinking his eyes almost once a second.

"I knew it was a vase. But I mean......" After a slight pause, Shen Mengting tightened the reins of the horse in her hand again, "What kind of style is that vase? How valuable is it? What is the position in the official's mind? I mean this!"

Lieutenant Chen Ziqun was confused when he heard this, "You...... What the hell do you want to do?"

Shen Mengting took a deep breath impatiently, "I'm evaluating this vase! See how much it's worth! You're so flustered and want to find a replacement for the dead ghost, isn't it because this vase is valuable?"

Chen Ziqun's heart seemed to be shot with an arrow, and he didn't know how to reply.

"I'm going to ask you now, how much is this vase worth, and I'm going to pay you the money accordingly. That's how I make amends!"

Chen Ziqun should have understood. But soon, he shook his head violently, "No! No, this doesn't make sense! It doesn't matter if the vase is worth anything or not." The important thing is ......," he propped up his hands and slammed them to the side, "this vase is very important in the official......'s heart! But ......"

"But that officer will still blame us for the disadvantage of escorting!" the lieutenant's subordinate answered for him.

"Is that so?" Shen Mengting's expression didn't change much, she was still as calm as ever.

"That's it, So, do you think you can compensate for it with some money? I'm telling you, it's not that simple!"

Now, it seems that it is about to die again. However, Shen Mengting still raised her head and thought about it.

"Well, do you say money is useless? Ahhh But have you ever thought about the question of the current other than money. Do you want to get any other workarounds?"

Lieutenant Chen Ziqun was a little dumbfounded for a while, but he still shook his head as if he was dying, "I don't know!

"But how do you know without trying? Just like you just thought, I really don't want to do what a tough guy should do. Now that it's happened, it's time to think about how to fix it. Instead of raising your sword as if you were running away, you will kill yourself!"

"You...... You ......"

"Don't always 'you...... I'm really hoping to solve the problem!" Shen Mengting's words were like boiled water, without a trace of emotion.

Qian Hao in the back all joked about this, "Wow! You all saw it! This woman is really amazing! The words she spoke were basically heart-wrenching!"

Regarding Qian Hao's remarks, Jiang Jingwen smiled awkwardly. However, Zhao Yu completely took it to heart.

"But your solution is really ...... It's really too superficial!" Lieutenant Chen Ziqun began to walk, but the way he walked was like being drunk and walking unsteadily, "It's so superficial!"

"Even if it's superficial, that's the only solution!" Shen Mengting casually touched the horse's neck.

It was this casual reply that made Chen Ziqun return to his normal mood. He began to think about something, accompanied by a burst of low breathing.

"Yes, sir, we're at the end of our rope. Even the most superficial of methods, we're going to give it a try!"

The reply of a subordinate soldier caused Lieutenant Chen Ziqun to turn around suddenly. The gust of wind brought by the driving body frightened the soldier backwards. However, Chen Ziqun did not say accusatory words next, but still squinted and thought carefully.

"How's that? Your subordinates have said that! Do you have any other ideas?"

Lieutenant Chen Ziqun slowly turned his body to the side, and the direction he was in was Shen Mengting's position. He looked directly into the eyes of the arrogant woman, but his heart was unstoppably sour and bloody.

"Could it be...... Do you think that if I really have that money to pay compensation, the official will not punish me?"

"Okay then! Since you still don't agree, I'll just say it!" Shen Mengting twisted her body casually. But just as she was about to speak, she seemed to have a question in mind. I saw her frown, and then raised her head high, "By the way, I ask you a question! How much is that vase worth?"

Stunned by the sudden change of direction, Lieutenant Chen Ziqun fell into confusion, "Hmm......? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"You answer me first!"

"This ......" Lieutenant Chen Ziqun should have spoken, but he didn't seem to be able to answer for a while.

Fortunately, there were other soldiers who understood this problem, "I don't know the exact price! But it should be relatively expensive! At first, a major general dragged us to escort us, and I heard that it was a vase handed down by his ancestors." The price is ......"

"Fifty gold coins!

Hearing the number 'fifty gold coins', there was a commotion among the soldiers. Of course, there are not only this group of soldiers, Qian Hao and Shen Jun are also surprised.

Not to mention fifty gold coins, even fifty silver coins are very valuable numbers for a civilian. Even the group of soldiers who did not worry about food and clothing in the barracks had not seen the brilliance of gold coins. That's why everyone here was in a commotion.

"Yes...... yes......! It seems to be worth the price!" Lieutenant Chen Ziqun also chimed in.

"Oh! Fifty gold coins! Then I have another question for you!" Shen Mengting licked her lips, "Now because of your unfavorable escort, the value of this 'fifty gold coins' is gone." If you go back with the guilt of confiscating the 'fifty gold coins', what do you think the major will do with you?"

Lieutenant Chen Ziqun chuckled, and there was a sense of self-deprecation in that laughter, "Didn't you ask knowingly?"

"How can you ask knowingly? Tell me how you will deal with it?"

Being asked by Shen Mengting like this, Lieutenant Chen Ziqun realized that he was so ignorant. He really didn't know how he would be dealt with after messing up his boss's escort mission.

"This ...... If you say that...... "He's running out of words."

"Look! you can't answer at all!"

"Tell me, then, what kind of treatment will I receive?"

"Of course I don't know. But I can guess!" With many years of life in the army, Shen Mengting can still feel the temper of those low-level generals, "Just like your subordinates said, that vase is worth fifty gold coins." And you broke the vase, and you let the person who called you to escort you lose fifty gold coins for nothing! Do you think I'm right?"

Lieutenant Chen Ziqun hadn't even nodded yet, but some of his subordinates behind him replied with a 'yes, yes, yes'.

"Hey, you ......," Chen Ziqun turned his head angrily.

"Well, now is not the time to be afraid of face. All you have to do is answer my question, is it 'yes' or 'no'?"

Facing Shen Mengting's sharp questioning, Chen Ziqun nodded after breathing disorderly. Obviously, his answer was a 'yes'.

"Yes! You should know the temper of the officers in the army! If you have caused them to lose this little benefit, they will definitely be angry and let you compensate for it!"

"yes! That's why I'm uncomfortable!"

"But what! This kind of compensation will not be very harsh! If you have caused the official to lose 'fifty gold coins', then he will definitely let you compensate him 'fifty gold coins' appropriately!"

When Chen Ziqun heard this kind of remarks, he was as suddenly enlightened, "Huh......? This ......"

Although it is very hidden, a smile can still be detected at the corners of his mouth.

"Well, you seem surprised, what's wrong, do you think you're going to be punished more severely?"

"Huh......? This ......" Chen Ziqun no longer knew how to answer the other party's question.

Chen Ziqun has been trained in the military camp for some years, and he knows that he has a relatively clear understanding of the temper of some officers. Like the major general who dragged him to escort the vase. Chen Ziqun knew that the vase was not the major general's absolute favorite, but after all, it was worth fifty gold coins, and he knew that he would not smile when he saw it.

Then in the end, Chen Ziqun's punishment was to compensate the corresponding amount, as the woman said.

"How's that? Now you think I'm right?"

Shen Mengting's sudden question caused Lieutenant Chen Ziqun to be angry again and again. He had some staves on his head, apparently from deep thought.

"So...... So what do you mean......"

"Isn't my meaning very clear?go and compensate the corresponding amount!" Shen Mengting said expressionlessly, "This vase is worth fifty gold coins! Then you can pay him fifty gold coins, won't you?"

"Oh! That's fifty gold coins!"

"That's the crux of the matter! What you were worried about was the amount of fifty gold coins!"

"No, not just fifty gold coins!" Lieutenant Chen Zi......qun said a little bit and stopped.

Indeed, it is not only a question of compensation. His current failure will inevitably lead to a reduction in his status in the eyes of the leaders. The chain reaction after that was that his promotion was basically over. He will only be a lieutenant for the rest of his life.

Shen Mengting saw the lieutenant's thoughts, "Are you still thinking about your own promotion? Do you think that if you mess up this time, it will make the leader hold a grudge and cause your future to be damaged?"

Chen Ziqun was 'groaning' in his heart, and he was surprised why that woman knew everything.

"But I don't think you should worry about this kind of thing?" As soon as the words appeared, Shen Mengting saw the look of surprise on Chen Ziqun's face. So, without waiting for the other party to respond, she replied to herself, "Because no matter what, your position in the leader's heart will definitely plummet!"

What Shen Mengting said was a little unclear, so everyone was confused. Since they didn't understand one by one, the atmosphere of silence blew again.

Chen Ziqun's heart was sour, and he didn't know what he should talk about at the moment. But after his mind regained his composure, he still replied, "For...... Why?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Shen Mengting didn't even think about it, and her mouth opened up privately, "From the moment you didn't escort the vase safely, your position in the leader's heart has been gone." The next thing you have to do is nothing more than stop loss. That's why you went to catch an old man and wanted him to be a substitute for the dead!"

Every word of Shen Mengting almost urged Chen Ziqun to marry him. He was almost ashamed that all his thoughts had been seen through by a girl.

"So, you shouldn't be thinking about 'you can't get promoted in the barracks' right now! Whether you find a substitute or not, the result is the same. ”

Lieutenant Chen Ziqun took a step back abruptly, and he was surprised to find that what the woman said was not correct at all.

"You just want to think about how to stop the loss now, that's what I'm talking about, to solve the fifty gold coins that will be compensated to your boss!Ah! That's right! Do you think that fifty gold coins are too expensive, so you are tired and difficult to compensate? Then this problem can be solved!" Speaking of this, Shen Mengting took out a small bag directly from her pocket.

This small bag made Qian Hao's eyes light up, he knew what it contained, and he kept thinking in his heart that it would be good if he got it.

And for Zhao Yu, that small bag made him even more ashamed. Because most of the gold coins in it had been wasted by him.

"I have a little money here!If you don't mind!" Shen Mengting skillfully opened the knot of the bag, and a burst of golden light flashed inside.

The soldiers, including the lieutenant, seemed to have seen so much money for the first time. Their eyes are also bright and bright.

Shen Mengting didn't seem to be worried about revealing her wealth in front of these people at all, because as long as they had evil thoughts, Shen Mengting was confident that she could cut off their heads with a single sword.

"I can help you down!"

"Huh...... What?" Lieutenant Chen Ziqun seemed to be a little unconvinced of his ears, and he longed for a move to dig out his ears.

"You heard it right!" Shen Mengting looked down at Lieutenant Chen Ziqun, "I can give you fifty gold coins to get you through this crisis!"

"Huh?"

With Lieutenant Chen Ziqun's astonishment, a group of soldiers behind him were also talking.

Of course, it wasn't just those soldiers, Shen Mengting's teammates on her side also widened their eyes in surprise.

"Ahh......h

After Qian Hao blinked subconsciously, he also shrank his neck and opened his mouth in surprise.

Perhaps among these people, the most calm is Zhao Yu. He just tilted his head in surprise, but it didn't take long for him to seem to understand something. It is not the first time that Shen Mengting has sent gold coins to others. However, this time the number is really a bit much, and Zhao Yu actually felt a little sad about it

"That's it!" Shen Mengting suddenly jumped off the horse, she walked slowly in front of Chen Ziqun, still looking up in a downward style, "There are fifty gold coins here!"

As soon as she said that, Shen Mengting competently picked out the gold coins with her hands. Since the amount of fifty gold coins was too much, she couldn't even pick them all at once. So, she pouted at Chen Ziqun's still hanging arm, "What's the matter? Don't you want money?"

Chen Ziqun suddenly came to his senses, he twitched his body, and quickly held up his palm.

Shen Mengting nodded and said the word 'en', and she put fifty gold coins into Chen Ziqun's hand in several batches. After a while, Chen Ziqun seemed to be holding a golden flash ball.

"This ...... This ......"

"Don't be surprised! The fifty gold coins are yours!"

"But...... But...... Why? Why do you want to give me fifty gold coins?" asked Chen Ziqun.
