Chapter Seventy-Three: It's Scheduled
Hear the Spirit Rhino King say this. Zhong Ling chuckled in his heart. There is such a great danger of being a neighbor with the national teacher! It is also a very costly danger. A mansion is not something that can be built for a small amount of money. Listening to the tone of the Spirit Rhino King, it may also be constantly renovated. How much does it cost?
"That! Then there is King Lao Lingxi, let's find another place! I have a poor amount of money, and I can't afford to build a few houses!" Zhong Ling said embarrassedly.
"Hahahaha. The crowd laughed.
"By the way, King Lingxi, I'll go and choose one hundred and fifty guards tomorrow. Could this group of guards be paid by you?"
"Hahahaha, Zhong Ling. You're the official ruler of the Empire. You haven't received the money you received from the empire or the reward you gave you for your meritorious service, right?" asked the Spirit Rhino King.
"Nobody told me. I don't even know where to get it. ”
"Well, go to the military headquarters yourself! There is enough space for you to build hundreds of mansions. ”
"Then I'm not going to be a little rich woman! Then I'll live next door to my sister. Don't choose anymore. ”
"Hahahaha" the crowd laughed again.
"Xiao Ling, you are really a money fan!" Qi Qi also returned to the National Teacher's Mansion at this time, just in time to hear Zhong Ling's words.
"Qiqi, you're laughing at me!" Zhong Ling pretended to be angry.
"Hehe, aren't you?" Qi Qi was not afraid of Zhong Ling's fake anger.
"Don't laugh at me, have you decided your own business?"
"It's decided, I'm still going to focus on spiritual probing. This can do a lot for the Empire!"
"Okay! Then let's go back to the academy to pick up Xiang Xin and Wang Yingjin!" Zhong Ling said, said goodbye to King Lingxi and the others, and went back to the academy with Qi Qi and Lan Yun.
Zhong Ling took Xiang Xin and Wang Yingjin into the Demon Beast Tower. After arranging for the two of them to take care of each other with Xiaoxi and Ying Long. Then they went back to rest.
Early the next morning. Zhong Ling walked out of the academy and was going to the city guard barracks to choose a guard.
There is one thing Zhong Ling forgot to say, which military camp to choose. You must know that the city guard has four military camps, which are located next to the four city gates. This made the sergeants who wanted to become Zhong Ling's guards anxious. Since last night, there have been four sergeants from the city guard guarding the gate of the academy, waiting for Zhong Ling to appear and ask where to choose, and then ask the sergeants from other military camps to come over and wait.
Zhong Ling was discovered by four people as soon as he stepped out of the academy, and hurriedly came over to give a salute: "Morning Commander." Dare to ask the Commander which barracks he is going to for today's selection?"
"Hmm, do you have a lot of military camps, and how many are there?" Zhong Ling asked puzzled.
A sergeant hurriedly explained: "My lord, we have military camps at all four city gates. So you have to decide which one to go to, and we'll go back and let them know. ”
"Then do you know which city gate the military leader is close to?"
"Report to the commander, the place where the military department distributes military salaries is relatively close to the West City Gate. ”
"Oh, then let's go to the barracks at the West Gate! The three of you go and tell the people from the other barracks to come in two hours. The rest accompanied me to the military headquarters. ”
"Yes, sir. Immediately the sergeants of the other gates were ordered to leave. Only the sergeant of Simon was left to accompany Zhong Ling.
"Then let's go together, and see how much silver I have. Zhong Ling said to Sergeant Simon.
"Yes, sir. Shall we ride a horse or walk over?"
"Let's ride over! Don't delay there too long and get down to business. ”
"Yes. Sergeant Simon took the reserved horses and rushed to the military headquarters with Zhong Ling.
At the gates of the Imperial Military Headquarters.
"Here we are, sir. This is the military department. The sergeant dismounted and pointed to a building in front of him.
"Five floors! You are waiting for me here. I'll go in and do a little thing!"
"Yes. My lord. ”
Zhong Ling walked alone towards the gate of the military headquarters.
"Stop, the military headquarters is heavy, and you are not allowed to approach casually. The soldier guarding the door shook his weapon and shouted loudly.
"I have something to do with someone from the military department. Zhong Ling said.
"Who are you looking for? Do you have an official letter?"
"There is no official letter. I'm here to get the money. ”
"What do you get as a child? Go back to your family!"
Zhong Ling took out his waist card: "See? ”
The gatekeeper checked the waist card. It is indeed true later. Immediately saluted Zhong Ling and said, "Lord Commander, please wait. I'll go tell you. ”
Not long after, the sergeant came back and told Zhong Ling that the adults from the military department were not there, and asked Zhong Ling to come back next time.
"Hmm, who are you reporting on?"
"Lord Lin who is in charge of the official review!"
"I didn't want him to review me, you asked him what he was doing? ”
"Your Excellency, this is the only one in the military headquarters now. Other adults haven't come yet. ”
"Isn't it? There's only one person working at this time? What about the others? Especially who is in charge of the hair? Why don't you come?"
"It's Lord Wang who is in charge. As for why he is not here now, we soldiers really don't know. ”
"Okay. I know. How about meeting this Lord Lin?"
"Wait a minute. The sergeant went in again to report it.
A moment later.
"Your Excellency. You can go and meet Lord Lin. Please wear your belt badge. He was on the second floor for business. You go up to the first room on the left hand side of the second floor. ”
"Thank you!" Zhong Ling thanked him and went directly to the military headquarters.
The sergeants all the way to the military headquarters no longer blocked when they saw the waist card. Zhong Ling entered the office hall of Lord Lin on the second floor.
Lord Lin was not tall, and his thin body was writing something on the table next to the pile of official documents. There were also two sergeants sorting through the official documents on the ground.
"Lord Lin!" Zhong Ling knocked on the door.
"Oh! I heard you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, Lord Lin. Why is it so late, and you are the only one busy here in the entire military department?"
"Hehe, you are the commander of that king's special promotion. It's the first time you've come to the military headquarters, right?" Lord Lin didn't answer, but asked Zhong Ling.
"Yes!
"It's no wonder. Except for the 10th of each month, Lord Wang of the military department will come accurately. The rest of the time. It's hard to see him. ”
"Why is that? Isn't there anything else to do but you?"
"Not really. There was no fighting. Most of the military adults are like this. Some came late and some didn't. ”
"Then Lord Wang doesn't have to come to check whether what he wants to distribute is correct?"
"Lord Wang is the son-in-law of Zuo Prime Minister Li Lao. Whether he comes or not, no one dares to say anything if he is not tried. ”
"Zuo Prime Minister Li Fanyuan?"
"Yes!"
"These are all specially asked by the Spirit Rhino King to tell me, right?" Zhong Lingmeng asked.
