Chapter 40: Congratulations on not getting rich

This Wei Changfeng's performance is too utilitarian, right? He didn't say anything when he was promoted to centurion, and he was so happy to be praised by General Zhu and a thousand taels of silver? Even if you're happy in your heart, don't be so obvious, okay?

His smile began to become a little distorted, and he said lightly: "Centurion Wei, this time you have been praised by General Zhu and won a silver reward, and you should work hard to make more meritorious contributions in the future." ”

Wei Changfeng immediately realized that Zhao Zi'an had something to say. Why, not to mention his promotion to centurion? He thought for a moment, understood his meaning, and immediately replied: "General, it is a good thing that the last general can be promoted and commended, but the last general is most happy with this thousand taels of silver. ”

Zhao Zi'an smiled bitterly.

Wei Changfeng, are you stupid? You actually said this in front of me? What do you mean?

"Well, congratulations on your fortune." Zhao Zi'an's words were already sarcastic.

"It's a pity that this wealth will not be able to be paid at the end." Wei Changfeng replied.

"Huh?" Zhao Zi'an raised his eyebrows, very strange, "Why can't you send it?" Could it be that there are still people who grab this reward from you? ”

"Of course not." Wei Changfeng replied, "It's just that the last general's money will be distributed to the refugees from Xingcheng and those subordinates who have been commanded by the last general." His voice became low, "The people of Xingcheng fled here, but they were penniless, they could only beg in the streets, some of them were dying of hunger, and the last general commanded two hundred soldiers to stop the enemy, and in the end only seven or eight survived, and the rest of the soldiers were all killed." The last general should have died with them, but he escaped to save people, and the last general has always felt guilty in his heart. This reward is just right for the families of the refugees and soldiers who died in the war in Xingcheng. ”

Zhao Zi'an's heart was very moved.

He asked himself if he was a selfless and straightforward general, although he had not done any great evil deeds, but he often walked by the river, how could he not get his shoes wet, more or less, he also had some shady things, but he did not throw all his conscience out of the clouds. Wei Changfeng's words now touched his conscience a little, he nodded and said, "That's very good." Centurion Wei, you might as well discuss this matter with General Bai Shen and ask him to help you deal with it, I ...... Well, don't meddle. ”

Wei Changfeng agreed, turned around and walked out of the account. Bai Qi has been promoted to a general, Zhao Zi'an asked him to discuss it with Bai Qi, he naturally wants to listen, but he is still a little strange about Zhao Zi'an's words in his heart.

Since he said in front of General Zhao that he would give this reward to the families of Xingcheng refugees and fallen soldiers, he naturally wanted General Zhao to personally operate this matter, and the sedan chair carried people, General Zhao distributed this silver and fell into a good reputation, and Wei Changfeng also paid off his heart debt, this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, I don't know why General Zhao said not to participate? Since he didn't participate, he would simply ignore it and let Wei Changfeng figure out his own way, and why should he go to Bai Qi to discuss?

With this string of questions, he came to Bai Qi's tent.

Before the white account, the people who reported and asked for orders came and went, constantly coming and going. Wei Changfeng knew that Bai Qi was busy with the formation of new soldiers. Xingcheng was lost, and the towns around were greatly uneasy, and General Zhu asked the court for help while recruiting new soldiers into the army. At that time, the world was chaotic, survival was difficult, many people had no way to make a living, and they joined the army one after another for a mouthful of food and a little military salary, for example, some refugees from Xingcheng joined the army because of this, naturally, there were many enthusiastic people among them, and they joined the army with the ambition of serving the country and the people. Many of these recruits were incorporated into Zhao Zi'an's team, and Zhao Zi'an handed over this matter to Bai Qi. Bai Qi seems to be born to take care of these trivial things, and others feel that these things of formation and training are big, but Bai Qi is very easy to do. However, this does not mean that you are not busy in vain, and whoever comes to these things will be busy for a while.

Wei Changfeng waited on the side, and waited for a long time before he saw that there was no one who asked for orders to enter or leave, so he came to the tent to report.

Bai Qicai was busy with these trivial things, and was drinking water, when he heard the voice of Wei Changfeng in front of the tent, he didn't even have time to put down the water cup, so he stepped forward and opened the tent curtain and said with a smile: "Captain Wei, have you been waiting outside the tent for a while?" ”

Wei Changfeng couldn't help but smile.

Although Bai Qi was in the tent, he was well-informed, and he only learned from General Zhao about his promotion to centurion, and Bai Qi knew the kung fu of the front and back feet, and as soon as he heard that Wei Changfeng came to the tent when he was busy, he immediately guessed that Wei Changfeng should have been waiting outside the tent, and he was really smart. He bowed to Bai Qi, entered the tent, Bai Qi pointed to the chair on the side, and the two sat down.

It is said that Bai Qi is a general, although Wei Changfeng was promoted to a centurion, there are still two levels above, the small capital and the big capital, Wei Changfeng should stand and report, even if Bai Qi asks him to sit down, he should at least be polite. However, in the bloody battle in front of Xingcheng, the two of them had a feeling of sympathy for each other, which no one said, but they both felt that the other party meant the same. Therefore, the avant-garde Changfeng is extremely respectful to Bai Qi, but when there is no one, he is very casual. And Bai Qi was also very happy about Wei Changfeng's casualness, if Wei Changfeng came to do business, Bai Qi would be very unhappy.

After Wei Changfeng sat down, he talked about the conversation with General Zhao, and talked about General Zhao asking him to come to him to discuss the distribution of the reward.

Bai Qi looked at Wei Changfeng's eyes, thought about it slightly, and already understood what Wei Changfeng meant, he looked at the front of the tent and said softly: "Centurion Wei, you want to ask General Zhao why he is doing this, right?" ”

Wei Changfeng nodded. He guessed correctly, and it seemed that Bai Qi understood the joint in between.

Bai Qi chuckled, and his voice was lowered: "Centurion Wei, General Zhao is very generous to you, because you have a problem for General Zhao." ”
