Chapter 524: Reward
Time passed quickly.
With the deliberate release of water by the Black Tower monks, and the fact that Nezha and the two of them were indeed strong, Dog Rong was finally defeated, and fled into the primeval dense forest of Xiyi under Li Jing's pursuit all the way.
Li Jing naturally would not easily enter the primeval dense forest, which was full of miasma beasts, as well as quagmire poisonous insects, even those barbarians were afraid that they would suffer heavy casualties if they entered, let alone the soldiers of the Great Shang.
So he directly reversed course and returned to Pegasus City, Dog Rong was almost disabled this time, and the war was over, Li Jing didn't value the merit of defeating Dog Rong, but it was still worth being happy to be able to get rid of an opponent who was a threat to Big Shang. Therefore, he also directly ordered the entire Pegasus City soldiers to feast for three days.
As for Nezha and Lei Zhenzi, they had already returned to Chaoge with Deng Jiugong and sixty-one strange people, ready to wait for the reward of King Xu.
Above the court.
King Su looked at Nezha, who had already shown his face, as well as Lei Zhenzi and sixty-one strange people, and his heart was overjoyed, in his opinion, these strange people were the symbol of the prosperity of the Great Shang, with them, even the powerful tribe of Xiyi such as the Dog Rong was not the opponent of the Great Shang.
"Hahaha, all of you love Qing Ping, this time to defeat the dog Rong, you are all meritorious ministers, and the widow will reward them one by one, especially these two, Lingzhuzi and Lei Zhenzi, you have done a good job, so the widow decided, seal Lingtianzi as Lingtianhou, Lei Zhenzi as Thunder Hou, and at the same time add Lingtianhou as Lingwei General, Thunder Hou as Thunder General, and reward gold, silver, jewelry and twenty beauties, as for the rest of the strange people, all belong to the subordinates of the two generals."
"Thank you, Great King, for the reward!" Nezha, Lei Zhenzi and sixty-one strange people saluted to the king of Xuan and expressed their acceptance.
The other courtiers, including Bigan, had very calm faces, which meant that these rewards had already been discussed.
After the court meeting, someone specially brought Nezha and Lei Zhenzi to the newly renovated general's mansion.
As soon as Nezha entered the mansion, he returned to his bedroom, and then ordered the subordinates not to enter without his summons.
Sitting on the chair, some memories in Nezha's mind seemed to be clear, as early as when he saw Li Jing, he felt a sense of familiarity, and then just remembered the things when he was a child, these memories are usually sealed in the deepest part of the sea of knowledge, if you don't take the initiative to explore, you will directly ignore it.
Now that he thinks about it, Nezha naturally knows that Li Jing is his father, but he didn't plan to have a touching confession scene, but pretended not to know him in Pegasus City, because Nezha not only had no affection for Li Jing in his heart, but also wanted to kill him.
This kind of thinking is not only the old grudge of the past life, but also the resentment caused by what you have seen and heard in this life, and at the same time, it is more affected by the violent qi in the soul.
However, Nezha is a monk who has returned to the realm of illusion after all, and in the end he forcibly suppressed this idea with reason, after all, Li Jing is also his biological father no matter how he says, and the son kills his father, which is intolerable by heaven, once it happens, it will be the anger of people and gods, and if it is not good, it will be directly chopped to death by God.
But not being able to kill Li Jing doesn't mean that Nezha wants him to be better, although he can't kill Li Jing, but he can torture him mentally and physically little by little, which is even more enjoyable than killing him directly.
And if you want to torture Li Jing mentally and physically, then you can only occupy a high position above the court of the Shang Dynasty now, and now this goal can be said to be the first step, and you need to work harder after that.
There are 800 candidates among the great merchants, and there are 300 generals in the position of generals, so today's reward seems to be very heavy, but in fact, it is just a name.
Nezha's subordinates only have those strange people, and half of them have to be given to Lei Zhenzi, so he can be said to have no rights at all, just an empty name, unlike Li Jing, not only is he a minister of Tuogu, but also has his own private soldiers after three generations of operation, and these private soldiers are the rights in Li Jing's hands, so no one in the entire court dares to underestimate him, even Deng Jiugong, who is the most popular in front of the king, will not easily offend Li Jing.
"Now is not the time, we still need to wait, Li Jing, I will get back everything you owe me." Nezha's red eyes contained a hint of coldness, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.
Inside the Thunder General's Mansion.
Unlike Nezha, after Lei Zhenzi entered the General's Mansion, he directly took out some of the gold, silver and jewelry rewarded by the King of Xuan and distributed them to some subordinates, so that they could be grateful to themselves, and then they held a banquet for three days in a row.
It seems that I am afraid that others will not know the extravagance here.
On the third day, someone saw a huge fat man being carried into the general's mansion by a group of strong men, and then never came out.
"Senior brother, I don't know what you came to bring me out this time? It's your own business to be a big official, and I just need to eat and drink. The extremely fat Yang Jian squinted at a pair of almost invisible small eyes and said, still holding a huge raw cow head in his hand and biting.
Although Yang Jian's eyes are very small, his mouth is extremely huge, almost occupying two-thirds of the entire face, and even the upper nose has been squeezed into two holes, and one mouth is full of white sharp teeth, each of which is extremely sharp, and there is a miserable white light flashing on it.
At first glance, the head of the bull is not an ordinary scalper, but a brute beast species in the wild beast mountain range three hundred miles away from Chaoge, a single head is three times the size of an ordinary cattle, and the meat quality is like a tire, let alone eating, even if you can't pick it up.
But in Yang Jian's hands, it was like a small lump of meat, the huge palm grabbed the curved horns, the sharp teeth continued to bite, and the huge beef mixed with hair and beef bones comparable to steel were directly chewed into powder by Yang Jian, and then swallowed them all.
The head of the cow looks extremely fresh, it may have just been slaughtered, so there is some steam, and the nose of the cow is even twitching slightly, as if it is breathing, and a pair of bull's eyes are blinking from time to time.
Because it was raw, and there may not have been bloodletting when it was killed, the blood vessels in the corbel were still shaking, and streams of bright red blood continued to drip down, and finally gathered on Yang Jian's fat belly, and the whole scene was like being in a slaughterhouse, disgusting and cruel.
