Chapter 21: Spoils of War

On the way home, Ji Que suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Wang Hua hurriedly said: "Lack of chivalry, what's wrong?" ”

Ji Que looked at the barren forest and said suspiciously: "There seems to be something watching us there." ”

"What! I got it! ”

After hearing Ji Que's words, senior brother Chen Zhu didn't say a word, and rushed out first with a lotus leaf hat.

I saw the grass in the barren forest writhing, and Chen Zhu came back quickly, holding a wild cat covered in mud in his hand, and said excitedly: "Shaoxia, sure enough, something peeked at me with bad intentions." How to whole, braised or roasted after chopping? ”

Wildcat: "??? ”

Ji Vacancy: "......"

The Lingyu monk clasped his hands together and muttered, "Amitabha." ”

......

After Ji Que and the others left, a figure in the barren forest flashed and quickly disappeared into the rain......

When Ji Que and the four returned to Sangshui County, Xue Zhutou was already waiting there.

He took Ji Que's hand, and when he heard the news that the Wind Lotus Sect had been eradicated, his eyes were red with excitement, and he kept asking Ji Que for credit.

"Ji Gongzi, Ji Gongzi, you are really the blessing of my Sangshui County. The humble post came with the order of the prefectural magistrate, and he will definitely give a great reward to several people. ”

As soon as he heard that there was a reward, Ji Que hurriedly shook the other party's hand and said, "How embarrassing is this, it's troublesome Xue Zhutou." ”

"No trouble, no trouble."

"You have to pay more attention to this."

"Definitely, definitely, it will be expedited in the next step."

"Thank you, thank you."

"No, no, it's a matter of duty."

......

Chen Zhu and Wang Hua, the two brothers and sisters, looked at Ji Que and Na Xue Zhutou constantly shaking hands politely, and their faces were confused.

The old monk Lingyu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he had already seen through everything.

Chen Zhu and Wang Hua were born in a wealthy family, and they are the inner disciples of the utensils gate, they don't like luxury, but they have never been short of materials, so they don't have much concept of silver.

But the old monk is different, he has traveled all over the world, crawling and rolling in the rivers and lakes for many years, and knows that "a few taels of silver are difficult for a hero." ".

Those who spend a lot of money are probably from a strong family background and have a lot of assets, and some knights from ordinary backgrounds, even if they are famous, they have to worry about silver.

Yes, these people want to get rich, and some have a way.

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 was from the area of Tianren City, and couldn't help but ask about the local food and beauty.

As a human being in two lives, Ji Que went to a place, and what he wanted to know most was never a girl, but food.

After this exchange, he learned that some of the delicacies in Tianren City were so expensive.

Qiankun roast goose, king crab shell, Huoyun beef fillet fried rice, etc., are all of his interest.

It's a pity that according to Wang Hua, even the cheapest Huoyun beef tenderloin fried rice in it costs five taels of silver a piece.

Five taels of silver, you can eat in Sangshui County for a year and a half, and there is only one meal there.

However, Ji Que can generally understand that Michelin stars and the like are never cheap.

As a soon-to-be-adult person, whether it's a roadside stall or a "Michelin", he wants it all.

As a result, Ji Que felt that he was poorer, so when he heard that there was a reward, he couldn't help but become excited.

Normally, he's just getting excited.

Xue Zhutou's hand was shaken numb again, but after knowing that the Wind Lotus Sect here had been uprooted, he was also relieved.

He already knew what his eldest brother thought, and it was nothing more than who won and helped whom.

But compared to the terrifying Wind Lotus Sect, he obviously wanted to help Ji Que and these demon slayers in his heart.

At least they are more like people, especially Ji Quan, a young talent, with high skills, modest and polite, and they are really dragons and phoenixes among people.

......

"Young man's life-saving grace, people really don't know how to repay it." Wang Hua held Ji Que's left hand and said sincerely.

"No, no, by the way." Ji Que said politely.

"Farewell today, I don't know when I will be able to reunite with you Shaoxia." Chen Zhu held Ji Que's right hand and said reluctantly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll probably go to Tianren City next year, brother, just remember to invite me to eat Qiankun roast goose." Ji Que said politely again.

"Really? When! ”

"Around the end of the winter."

took turns to be polite, and was shaken hands by Wang Hua and Chen Zhu more than a dozen times, and Ji Que was able to be free.

He turned to look at the old monk Lingyu.

Lingyu knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw Ji Que raise his hand, and immediately saluted: "Master Ji, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, and the old monk will handle the bounty as soon as possible." ”

"There's Master Lao."

At this point, Ji Que said goodbye to the three demon slayers.

As demon slayers, they had the finishing touches and other work to do and had to leave.

As a result, just a few steps away, Chen Zhu turned around and said, "Ji is lacking, dare to ask how many people in your family are, but there is a marriage match, I have a younger 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 began to count the loot.

The broken diary was thrown aside by him, and the silver in his pocket was counted and counted, and it was really only six taels or three dollars.

"Poor." Ji Que couldn't help but complain.

A divine envoy, whose net worth can't even afford half a roast goose in Tianren City, is really disappointing.

But the rest is all something to be happy about.

The bounty in the Demon Suppression Building, to say the least, is a hundred taels, Sangshui County is poor, but in the end, it is two rewards, how can it be thirty taels?

The original savings were one hundred and twenty taels, plus the gold leaf worth five hundred taels of silver, Ji Que couldn't help but have a bold idea.

In the days that followed, as long as he passed the "stage of protecting his wealth with all his heart" and entered the "stage of making money with his life", there was no possibility of breaking through a thousand taels of silver.

Thousands of taels of silver, in this Sangshui County, "Dunton braised pork, every day the daughter is red." "There are no problems with the fairy days.

But Ji Que thought of the baked cakes and the marriage contract, as well as the terrible price of food in Tianren City, and suddenly calmed down.

A Qiankun roast goose is fifteen taels of silver, and thousands of taels of silver seem to be a lot, but it is less than sixty-seven roast geese.

Is this roast goose made of gold?

Immediately, he thought of Chen Zhu saying that he wanted to invite him to eat Qiankun roast goose, and he couldn't help but think that this friend could get along.

The accounts were almost settled, and he counted the silver many times before and after, and hid them in thirty-three secret places, and Ji Que relaxed.

He crossed Erlang's legs and couldn't help but look at the diary.

People are born with the desire to peep, and Ji Que is also not exempt from vulgarity.

And reading other people's diaries can just satisfy this unserious desire.

"In this diary, there may be a clue to the silver hidden in the finger."

Yes, until now, Ji Que still doesn't believe that he only has this bit of silver on his fingers, after all, he is a divine envoy, and he is the boss of Ma and Yun.

The boss can be poorer than his subordinates, but one is less than five hundred taels, and the other is only six taels and three cents of silver, and the difference is too big.

It's a little hard to accept the lack of season.

So, Ji Que no longer hesitated and opened this slightly old booklet.

Then he soon discovered that the finger was a neuropathy.
