Chapter 28 The spoils of war

 After obtaining Ziyu’s consent, Xiao Wu took the credit for the Wang family’s caravan.

He understood very well that the masters did not like to deal with the government, and they did not like people disturbing Qing Xiu, so he had to take the initiative to shield him from the wind and rain from the outside world.

Hong Feiyang, who had finished cleaning the battlefield, came over with a small pile of items in his lapels, happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.

 “Young Master, you have gained quite a lot today, look at it!”

Ziyu looked through it with the help of a hurricane lantern. Gold leaves, silver notes, jade pendants, and scattered silver were all small and easy to hide.

There were more than four hundred taels of silver notes. They seemed to be poor bandits, but they were better than nothing, so they were treated as her appearance fees.

Ziyu gave detailed instructions about the household affairs so that everyone had something to do. She wanted to go to Yundu as soon as possible to get rid of the gems in her hands.

 He knew very well that they would have a good life only if the young master was good.

 The young master's family has no land or property, and the two adults cannot support the five mouths in the family.

Store more food at home. Brother Hong consumes a lot of food every day, so we can’t let him go hungry.

 When the small table in the courtyard was replaced with a cup of light tea, Ziyu glanced at Cheng Yuanshu and Chen Xiaoshan who were playing with Xiao Luo.

 …

What Ziyu didn't know was that because of her accidental appearance, the Wang family's caravan that traveled through all the counties in Baiyun Kingdom eventually disintegrated.

I don’t know if the fight just now frightened Xiao Luo. Hong Feiyang glanced at the mule cart worriedly and listened carefully until there was no movement before he felt relieved.

Ziyu took out a bottle of golden elixir and threw it into Hong Feiyang's lapel, then took away the banknote.

 If you want to follow me, you must have a good physique. Being able to fight and run is the most basic requirement.

 Chen Da got up and sent the two of them out of the yard. There were obvious knife marks on the mule cart. He knew that something unpleasant must have happened on the way.

When Chen Wang heard that he wanted ten times the amount, he was so frightened that he patted his chest and nodded in agreement.



“Chen Da, you are responsible for the shopping at home. When you go to the street tomorrow, you will buy twenty elbows.

The four of them greeted each other with joy on their faces, and Chen Da exhaled quietly. He was really afraid that the young master would never come back, and leaving the family here for a long time would make it difficult to make a living.

 When such a good thing happens again, he will have to work harder to be worthy of the young master's reward.

  Although the five brothers who died will receive part of the compensation, it is a heavy blow to their families.

There was a cry of old rooks in the dark night, which frightened the people on the last few carriages to the point where they almost became incontinent.

Three children of different ages, wearing the same muslin clothes, were not alienated by time, chattering and having fun.

  The group of people carried torches and left the dense forest where they almost lost their lives in the middle of the night.

 “Thank you, young master!”

“Master, you are back!

 How are you and Master Xiao Luo? I'll lead your mule in! "

Ziyu hugged Xiao Luo from the car and said to Chen Wang who was waiting aside.

As expected, robbing is more profitable than farming. Ziyu glanced at the carriages of some royal caravans and wondered how much their goods were worth.

Two days later, four mule carts stopped in front of the small courtyard on Zixiang Street. Cheng Yuanju, who had been waiting at the door every day for people to come back, jumped out with a swish.

“I only want the banknote, and the rest is yours! Take the gold medicine to bandage the wound to prevent it from getting infected.”

 If you can't do it, you can mention it now, and I will send you back to Yaxing. "

With several kneeling sounds, Chen and Cheng Yuanju knelt down and looked at Ziyu beggingly.

Brother Hong will teach you some basic kung fu. It’s not safe when you go out on the road. You must at least have the courage to draw a knife when something happens.

 “Hello, Master!”

 “Plop!”

 From tomorrow on, both adults and children will chop one hundred pieces of firewood every day.

Cheng Yuanju responded loudly. Chen Dashan and Cheng Yuanshu, who heard the noise in the room, all hurried out.

Xiao Wu, who was making arrangements to set off, felt a chill running down his spine, as if he was being stared at by a snake. He raised his voice and kept urging.

 You must have at least one big meal of meat a day, and you can exercise well after eating it.

“Ms. Chen Wang, go get some food on the table first to fill your stomach. You need ten times the usual amount.”

 “Plop!”

 Having lived a stable life with food and clothing, Chen Dajie did not want to lose his current life at all.

Ziyu took out two hundred taels of silver notes and pushed them in front of Chen Da.

 “Hello, Master!”

"Cheng Yuanju, stop circling around and drive the mules in. They all belong to my family."

 …

 When you have free time, buy a few pieces of cloth to prepare this year's clothes, shoes and socks. "

 After everything was settled, the few people who had washed themselves sat in the courtyard and had a meal. Xie Yuan and Wang Dong respectfully clasped their fists and thanked them.

 …

 “Thank you for saving my life, I’ve caused you trouble!

 We will go to the city gate to wait for the convoy in a moment, so we won’t bother you any more! "

 The two guards who experienced life and death again had the idea of ​​quitting. Perhaps Manager Wang's choice was the most correct one.

After one battle, Ziyu received one thousand and eighty taels of silver notes, a cart of spices, and a cart of olive oil.

“Sister-in-law Chen, I will pack up the West House for Brother Hong to live in soon. From now on, he will be responsible for the safety of the home, and he will also be responsible for Xiao Luo’s daily life.

“Let’s go slowly without seeing him off. We’ll see you again someday!” Ziyu waved carelessly.

 The largest denomination is only one hundred taels, the others are of small denominations, and they still smell like feet.

The smell of blood at the scene was too strong, and Xiao Wu did not dare to stay here any longer, so he piled the bodies of the men in black on the two empty carriages he had picked up.

Hong Feiyang agreed happily. He estimated that the remaining gold and jade pendants were worth about one hundred and twenty taels.

At dawn, they arrived at Tongqiu City safely. Ziyu, who didn't want to get involved in the matter, left first with four mule carts.

 “Let’s go, hurry up! Hurry up!”

Keeping the exposed gems in your hands is not a long-term solution, and this is not her original intention.

The two guards who helped drive the carriage left together without any doubt. It was lucky for them to be able to save their lives on such a night.

It turns out that it is not safe at all to go out to run goods. It is more practical to buy land and grow crops.

 Handled around Ziyu excitedly, chattering about trivial matters at home.

“Master, don’t sell our family to Yahang, we must be obedient.” Mrs. Chen begged with tears in her eyes.

For him, this is a huge income. Sure enough, following the young master not only has meat and food to eat, but also makes a lot of money.

 “Okay, Master! I’ll make sure everything is done well.”

 “Quack…quack!”

Cheng Yuanju, who had not been seen for more than half a month, had some flesh on his face and was wearing a clean blue cotton shorts.

 The little guy took out some shells he picked up at the beach and shared them with the two of them.

 “I just want obedient servants, understand?”

“Understood...understood, we must listen to the young master. The young master is the **** of our family.” Chen Da, who reacted quickly, assured.
