Volume 1: Looking to the Northwest, Shooting the Sirius Chapter 56: Born to Kill God
The team was hindered by women and children and walked very slowly. It was only after half an hour that they made it back to Tumubao.
But as soon as they entered the fort, the team caused a sensation, first the twenty women and children, and then the bloody rouge rabbit.
The ten heads were bleeding continuously, soaking the rouge rabbit thoroughly, and then being roasted by the sun, the smell was not to mention unpleasant.
The civil affairs officials in the fort took the women and children away, and Chaitino and others happily went to the military merit officer to record their merits.
"Will the four of you split your heads equally?"
"Well, if you want big money but not money, it's not convenient to spend money on it."
The four of them were smiling happily. A month's military pay was five hundred dollars. Today's trip was easily worth one month's income. Not bad, quite good!
"The money is already scarce, and you don't even think about giving it!"
Military merit officers made a note in their name book. Ordinary pawns and low-level officers did not have military merit record cards. All merits were recorded in a large book.
"It's better to change the money into silver, otherwise it will be too much, and the military merits on the road will not be redeemed."
Chai Tiannuo handed over the pure black military merit record plaque and said happily.
There were a few pawns in the yard, grinning and removing people's heads. The military officer looked at them and nodded. Sure enough, there were quite a few. Tumu Fort had another expert at picking people's heads off. Yes, quite good.
"Your brand feels very good. Where did you get it?"
Taking the sign, the military merit officer looked through it several times curiously. The material seemed to be made of iron, but there was no rust at all. It looked better than the red copper sign of the border army.
"Given by the Second Battalion of the Forbidden Army."
"No wonder, the things used by the emperor's personal guards are better than those used by us frontier troops."
The military officer nodded and read the record on the sign:
"Wu Xiucai Chai Tiannuo, who killed more than fifty bandits in the first battle of Zhili, was awarded the title of Dingjia?!"
When he talked about the military meritorious officers behind him, their tone changed, and people stood up in shock.
"This, is this true?"
The meritorious officer's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat. Chai Tiannuo rolled his eyes:
"As you said, does anyone dare to falsify the military merit record plate?"
"Yes, you are right, hahaha."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the military officer continued to look down.
"In the spring of the fifth year of Xuantian, oh, what happened when you came?"
"Well, it happened a month ago."
Chaitino nodded.
"In the spring of the fifth year of Xuantian, Chai Tiannuo, a martial scholar, killed the enemy in a bloody battle in the north of the mountain. He rescued seventy-three of his comrades and beheaded eighty-one of the Cangtian bandits. Is this a single battle?!"
The military officer's tone changed again, directly into a harsh high-pitched voice. It was so noisy that Chaitino couldn't help but block his ears. This drake's voice was so full of magic that it penetrated his ears!
"You read it correctly, and the brand name is not recorded correctly. If you look at the back, the money has not been exchanged yet."
Chai Tiannuo dug his ear holes and pointed at the bottom of the sentence. There were two small words, "Unfulfilled."
"..."
When the military officer looked at Chaitino, his expression changed drastically. It was no longer the indifferent look it had before, but instead was reserved and somewhat flattering.
More than 130 people were beheaded in the two battles. If you include the ten heads today, it would be 150, a true enemy of a hundred!
To be honest, the gap between the hundreds of enemies counted over the years and the person in front of me is huge.
Their numbers were accumulated from countless battles, and the person in front of them had killed eighty-one in one battle. If you add in the bonus of saving his comrades, it would have reached the standard of one hundred enemies in one battle.
Such a record has not been heard of for many years.
The pawns who had their heads cut off were dumbfounded, as were the four of them. If it weren't for the military merit record card to prove it, they really wouldn't believe it was true.
"Sir, don't be in a daze, quickly count the money, I'm still waiting to take it home to show off."
Chaitino waved his hand, and the military merit officer finally realized what he was doing. After calculating it twice, he said in surprise:
"There were eighty-one people last time plus ten people this time, a total of ninety-one people. Saving a comrade will count as military merit but no reward will be given. The total is ninety-one taels of silver. Are you right?"
"That's right, give me the money quickly."
Chai Tiannuo stretched out his hand impatiently. The cost of this trip was really high, but today he can be considered as replenishing himself.
"... Well, Tumubao doesn't have that much silver, do you think it's okay to convert it into a big buck?"
"You are so poor that you can't even afford ninety-one taels of silver?"
This time it was Chaitino who changed his tone. Ninety-one big pieces, that’s more than 90,000 pieces. If there are a bunch of big pieces, it’s too hard to get them!
"No, you can wait until next time to change?"
"Come on, I don't know what will happen next time, so you'd better be more generous."
Chai Tiannuo rolled his eyes, the military merit officer nodded, and carefully wrote on the military merit record card with a special recording pen:
"In the late spring of the fifth year of Xuantian, Chai Tiannuo, the commander of the third battalion of the border city guard, killed the enemy in a bloody battle on the banks of the two rivers northwest of Tumubao. He saved twenty people and killed eleven Tatars in the grassland. One battle!"
"Captain Chai, your performance has made a big improvement, and you should be promoted to Commander Qian. However, you already enjoy the treatment of Commander Qian, and the battalion head has orders. If not, why don't you talk to him?"
The military officer said hesitantly, Chaitino waved his hand nonchalantly:
"I just want the treatment, and the corps commander is pretty good, so I'll just do it."
"Sir, let's not talk about these side branches, okay? Take me to get the big boy right away!"
Well, getting promoted has become a side branch in the face of getting rich. This guy really got into money.
The military officer nodded with a grin and took the five people to the accountant to withdraw the money.
"As for his mother, how long will this mother have to count!"
Looking at the big man like a hill in the warehouse, Chai Tiannuo was dumbfounded for a moment. He didn't even put on a rope and counted them one by one. He couldn't count until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
"We don't have a scale. It's okay to check the weight!"
"Yes, it's a silver scale. The maximum weight is two kilograms."
The three accountants made the sign of two at the same time, which made Chaitino grin. It was really two to the extreme!
"Commander, please count slowly, we will go there happily."
Old Immortal Big Luo, Xiao Luo and Little Jacket used the method of scales with the accountants to quickly count out the five hundred big pieces. They turned around and left happily, but Chai Tiannuo yelled back:
"You're so happy, help me wash out the rabbits and feed them good food. I've provided enough beans and eggs. When you come back, each of you will get two hundred bucks!"
After that, Chai Tiannuo shook his hands and threw out a piece of broken silver to use as horse feed money. The old man received it and was very happy:
"The firewood head is still open. Don't worry, we will regard the rabbit as our ancestor, and we will take care of it comfortably."
After his pawns left, Chai Tiannuo rolled up his sleeves while looking at the mountain of coins:
"Open up!"
On the banks of the Liangjie River, a group of neatly dressed royal cavalry gathered thirteen corpses together, ignoring the alert northwest cavalry in the distance.
They also found the five broken armor-breaking cones and placed them neatly next to the corpse.
"General, the causes of death of several people have been investigated clearly."
A gray-haired captain of Dash, holding his chest and kneeling down on one knee, saluted the general who was wearing full black armor and his face was covered by a visor.
