Chapter 262 Reward

Twelve cloaked armored soldiers escorted them out of Changping Tower, walked towards the south gate, and returned to the barracks. Four armored soldiers were in front, four were behind, and four were in the middle, surrounding them.

Slowly walk out on the North-South Street of Longcheng.

Along the way, people cast curious glances at them, wondering what they had committed. They all knew that these black-cloaked armored soldiers were enforcing military law. Obviously, these guys had violated military law.

Some of them were sorry, some were gloating about their misfortune. These soldiers were all so evil and majestic. It was such a joy to have such a day!

Xiong Sihai looked calm, laughing and joking with Zhao Shengli without any worries.

Xiaohe angrily cursed, these boys from the Flying Cavalry Camp have too soft bones, and they will complain as soon as they can't be beaten. They are really not like men and are looked down upon.

Lao Ma looked calm and chimed in a few words from time to time.

Feng Dakun and Cai Yuzhang didn't say anything and just walked silently. Only Li Baolu looked worried and turned around to ask Cai Yuzhang from time to time: "Xiao Cai, it's okay. Is the punishment too severe?"

After taking a few steps, he would nag again. Cai Yuzhang was also good-tempered and would shake his head and say no every time.

They crossed the street, exited the South City Gate, returned to the barracks, and entered the Minglu Hall directly.

Li Muchan looked around and saw that Minglutang was still the same. A few days later, he came in again. He glanced at the people around him and saw a few familiar ones who met his gaze with expressions of surprise.

Zhao Shengli and others looked around. They had bad tempers, but they respected military law and did not dare to offend. They were not executed under military law once.

They had heard the name of Minglu Hall for a long time and felt it was scary. After Li Muchan returned last time, they inquired a lot and heard his understatement and were quite unconvinced.

In their eyes, Minglu Hall is like a dragon in a tiger's den. People who enter Minglu Hall rarely come out well, either with bruises on their noses or faces, or with broken arms and legs.

Now that they came in together, they were confident and no longer afraid.

Xiong Sihai swept around in a grand manner, and about twenty people came over, saluted Xiong Sihai with fists in his hands, and called him "big brother."

Xiong Sihai laughed loudly, glanced at Li Muchan, and saw that Li Muchan turned his head to look at him. Knowing what he was thinking, he waved his hand: "Okay, everyone, please disperse, don't disturb our peace!"

Everyone left and talked quietly with others.

Xiong Sihai turned around and said: "Master monk, if you want to be quiet, how about we have a separate room?"

Li Muchan nodded lightly.

Xiong Sihai immediately ordered Lao Ma, and Lao Ma nodded, and went over to talk to those people. They nodded and quickly returned to the house, took the dishes and chopsticks, went to another room, and vacated a room.

Zhao Shengli laughed loudly: "Brothers from all over the world, you are really majestic!"

Xiong Sihai chuckled and said, "I'm just trying to show off my power. Everyone is just giving in to me for the sake of my brother-in-law's face. I understand that!"

Zhao Shengli smiled and said: "If you don't have the ability, no one will buy it!"

Everyone came and sat down in front of the rockery.

"Is everything going to be okay?" Li Baolu asked cautiously.

Xiong Sihai laughed and said: "Li Zi, you are a good baby. This little thing is nothing. Don't worry, you will be fine!"

"This is a fight, the punishment is not light!" Li Baolu said.

Xiong Sihai smiled and said: "This time, we will be punished, but it will be very light... If we lose, it may be very hanging, but this time our victory is different!"

Li Baolu was puzzled: "Aren't they all fights?"

"Hey, I know my brother-in-law's temper best. He loves saving face!" Xiong Sihai said, triumphantly: "This time we have the face of Xiaoqiying and beat Feiqiying to pieces. My brother-in-law may be very happy!

"

"Really?" Li Baolu was dubious.

"You plum, what did I do to you?" Xiong Sihai rolled his eyes at him and said with a smile, "My brother-in-law and the Captain of the Flying Cavalry Camp have been keeping things secret, but this time we have made him look bad!"

"That's good, that's good!" Li Baolu let out a long breath.

Feng Dakun shook his head and said coldly: "You cowardly rabbit, don't scare yourself!"

Li Baolu said: "Da Kun, if you fall on the battlefield, it doesn't matter. If you are afraid of falling under military law, you will die unjustly!"

Feng Dakun said coldly: "Don't worry, you didn't do anything. The monk killed someone last time and it was fine. It doesn't matter this time!"

Li Baolu's face turned red: "Da Kun, what do you mean!... We are comrades in arms, so naturally we have to advance and retreat together!"

Li Muchan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, Li Zi, it doesn't matter. Xiong Sihai has done this kind of thing countless times. Isn't it good?"

Li Baolu opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but he was clumsy and didn't know what to say.

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Okay, Dakun is just joking."

Li Baolu glanced at Feng Dakun, quite angrily, and turned away to ignore him.

Feng Dakun smiled and suddenly punched out. Li Baolu jumped and dodged. The two of them started fighting each other.

Zhao Shengli waved his hand: "Don't worry about them!...Brothers from all over the world, do you think we will be rewarded for showing shame for the captain this time?"

"Well, it should be possible." Xiong Sihai nodded firmly.

Xiong Sihai and Zhao Shengli discussed what the captain would reward him, but he saw that Li Muchan was deep in thought and remained silent.

Zhao Shengli said: "Monk, what are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought. Are you thinking about the thirteenth mother? Haha..."

Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "I do miss her."

Zhao Shengli's laughter suddenly stopped, and Xiong Sihai said with a smile: "Great monk, the Thirteenth Niang has a good background. She is a guest of the Governor..."

Li Muchan waved his hand and said, "What is her life experience like?"

"I don't know." Xiong Sihai shook his head and said, "Why, is there something wrong?"

Li Muchan shook his head: "This woman has extraordinary bearing. She is not a simple person. It is better to be careful."

"Ha, she can monopolize the oiran in Tianlong City, so she is certainly not an ordinary person." Xiong Sihai said with a smile.

Li Muchan nodded and said no more.

He intuitively felt that this woman was not dangerous and would not pose a threat to him. However, others did not know that she was so cultivated and low-key, and her intentions were not small.

"Alas... I don't know how long we will be locked up for!" Zhao Shengli said. After sitting for a while, he became a little bored and said, "Just bring the book!"

Li Muchan laughed. He had to read the Military Book every day. Although it was very painful, it had become a habit. If he didn't read it for a day, he would feel exhausted.

Xiong Sihai said: "How about I find someone to get you some books."

Li Muchan waved his hand and said: "No need, the recruitment has ended, we will go out soon."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Sihai nodded and said: "That makes sense. We have to break camp and go back. They won't keep us locked up. Don't worry."

A few people were talking when suddenly a big man shouted: "Xiong Sihai, Mingkong!"

Xiong Sihai replied loudly and said with a smile: "The great monk made it right, it's our turn!"

Everyone left the Minglu Hall and came to the Yanming Hall, only to see Li Sima sitting in the back with a smile on his face, kind-hearted and amiable.

As soon as Li Muchan and the others came in, Li Sima smiled and said, "Boy Xiong, Mingkong, it's you two again!"

Li Muchan performed a military salute and smiled bitterly, but Xiong Sihai smiled with a nonchalant look on his face: "Sima, stop talking nonsense, tell us how to punish us!"

"You..." Li Sima shook his head, with a look of resentment: "If you can't have a good rest for a day, let me have a rest too!"

Xiong Sihai hummed: "I would like to be idle, but others won't let me!"

Li Sima smiled and said: "But this time, the captain was not angry. Instead, he praised you."

"Is it because I hit the guy named Jing?" Xiong Sihai laughed, feeling very proud.

Li Sima said with a smile: "Yes, the captain said that if you have greatly enhanced the prestige of our Xiaoqi battalion, we will not pursue the matter this time!"

"Hehe, there are times when he is not confused!" Xiong Sihai smiled proudly.

Li Sima smiled and said: "Not only will there be no punishment, but there will also be rewards!... Come on!"

A soldier came out from the side, wearing a black cloak and iron armor. He came over with a wooden tray, bowed respectfully, and put the wooden tray on the table covered with a red cloth.

Li Sima raised his hand and lifted up the red cloth. Suddenly, silver light shone, and rows of silver ingots were neatly arranged. Zhao Shengli's eyes were dazzled. His eyes widened and he blurted out: "Good boy..."

The rest of the people also widened their eyes. Except for Xiong Sihai, they had never seen so much money before. They were so grateful that they suddenly felt warm.

Li Sima smiled and said: "This is given by the captain, you can divide it."

"Then you're welcome!" Xiong Sihai laughed, stepped forward, picked up the plate, and said with a smile: "This time, it all depends on the monk. These silvers should belong to the monk."

Li Muchan smiled: "Let's split it equally."

Zhao Shengli hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head: "No, no, it's yours. Monk, don't be polite. Just invite us to have a meal at Changping Tower another day!"

Li Muchan pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "...that's fine!"

Xiong Sihai brought the silver to him and said with a smile: "In my opinion, it is better to go to Tianlong City, deposit it in a bank, and change it into a bank note, which is more convenient to hold."

Li Sima said with a smile: "There is no need to go to Tianlong City, I am already ready."

He smiled and took out a banknote from his arms, tossed it gently, and it slowly floated to Li Muchan.

Li Muchan took a look at Li Sima and saw that his martial arts skills were indeed extraordinary. He took the banknote and it said one hundred taels on it.

Xiong Sihai rolled his eyes: "Sima, are you greedy for half of it?"

Li Sima groaned, shook his head and said, "You brat, you are so bad, get out of here!"
