Volume 1: Looking Northwest, Shooting the Sirius Chapter 48: The Great Grinding Part 1
“You have to speak with your conscience!”
The military officer who brought the money couldn't help but rolled his eyes and started to calculate with him:
"When I came here just now, my respected mountain chief intercepted me on the way and took away five hundred taels. He said it was your agreement. Do you admit it or not?"
"...I admit it, it's my mother's fault. I dare not admit it?"
Chai Tiannuo's face was full of resentment. If he dared to say no, the mountain chief would strangle him alive!
"The mount you are riding these days was borrowed by your mountain chief from the Ministry of War in person. It is a first-class red rouge rabbit. It is a proper thousand-mile horse. How about it? Is it comfortable to ride on?"
"It turns out to be a thousand-mile horse. No wonder it runs so fast and steadily. It's really comfortable to ride."
Chai Tiannuo nodded in sudden realization. Compared with the Snowflake Blue horse he rode when he was building a government to suppress bandits, the Red Rouge Rabbit was indeed much stronger.
"You feel comfortable riding it, but you didn't think of taking good care of it?!"
There was a bang, this time the military meritorious officer slapped the table, which made Chai Tiannuo tremble. What do you mean, this is more violent than me, the miserable master?
"In just about ten days, the hair on my back has become bald, and your stomach has been damaged by you. He is your comrade, and you treat him like this?!"
The military officer was angry and Chai Tiannuo was weak. This was because he had done something unethical.
Before leaving, the equestrian instructor had given instructions many times to ensure that the horse was well fed and had enough beans and eggs. However, the rabbit had to eat and sleep in the open air, and many times the red rouge rabbit could only eat dry grass.
Carrying myself for so many miles every day, but only eating some nutritious dried grass and dried fruits, I really failed to fulfill my responsibility.
"Do you have any objections to spending two hundred taels on it to treat illnesses and recuperate the body?"
The military officer looked sideways at Chaitino, who shook his head vigorously. If he dared to have an opinion, he would be worse than a beast.
"As for the remaining one hundred taels, it is your Majesty's new tax policy. All military rewards are fifty taels per tael. Do you have any opinions on this?"
"No, no objection, absolutely no objection!"
Chai Tiannuo shook his head like a rattle. Grandma is a bitch. Emperor Tianqi personally formulated the policy. If he had any objections, wouldn't it be considered a rebellion?
Calculated in this way, each of my eight hundred taels of silver really has its own place to go.
Chai Tiannuo originally thought that more than four thousand taels of silver would be worth a small mountain, but what he actually got was just forty-two silver notes made of parchment.
After looking at it over and over in his hand for a long time, Chaitino couldn't help but sigh. Although he knew this thing was valuable, the feeling in his hand was really worse than a silver ingot.
The days passed uneventfully, and March came in the blink of an eye. The early-growing tender grass and willow buds were densely packed, giving the originally gray world a touch of lively green.
With money in hand, Chai Tiannuo also contacted his family frequently. He wrote letters and mailed them back every now and then, and he sent back a lot of money one after another.
Now that I have become rich, I have to make my adoptive father, mother-in-law and Yu Zhen'er live a better life, right?
As he continued to polish his foundation every day, Chai Tiannuo found that although he was getting closer and closer to the master, he was always missing something, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking his eyes that he could not cross.
For this reason, Chai Tiannuo went to the great master he knew, Master Shanchang, and asked how to cross the barrier.
As a result, the slovenly Lord Shanchang gave a slovenly answer:
"If the hair barrier really exists, wouldn't it be possible to just kick it open and pass?"
"That's why a master like you who likes to sit on the fence and be unreliable will have this stinky problem. A true warrior will never have a barrier. If you accumulate enough, you will be there!"
After saying that, Mr. Shanchang kicked Chai Tiannuo away from the room with a kick. Chai Tiannuo was so angry that he almost blurted out the Three-Character Sutra.
Your uncle, you extorted five taels of consulting fee from me and you just gave me this explanation?
The boss who sells ink ingots is not as evil as you!
Li Yichuan laughed after knowing this:
"Tiannuo, although I am not a master, I heard the words of several generals when I was in the northwest, and they are quite similar to those of the mountain chief."
"After all, warriors are not as meticulous as literati. Many generals who fought and killed did enter the master realm unknowingly. To put it bluntly, it was a matter of course."
"Uncle, I can really feel the barrier. It's like I can vaguely see the scenery on the opposite side of Liuli, but I just can't cross it."
Chai Tiannuo said depressedly. Li Yichuan thought for a while and said with deep eyes:
"That can only be said to be because your master level is different from others."
Bian Sheng, Shen Tu Zijin and Li Yichuan said that Chai Tiannuo's performance on the battlefield, flying people in the air, was something that only a master could do.
The mountain chief had also seen Chaitino's performance, and he investigated it with excitement as soon as the battle was over. The result was still the same, he was full of internal energy, but it was just a martial artist who was on camera, and he was so angry that he left cursing.
He thought he could witness the birth of the little grandmaster with his own eyes, but it turned out that he was just a crooked gourd, which made him excited in vain.
Unlike others, Chaitino suddenly realized, yes, his inheritance is indeed different from others, so how can he reproduce it based on other people's experience?
From that day on, Chaitino stabilized his mind and worked hard to lay the foundation. He no longer pursued it deliberately, and haste makes waste. As long as the foundation is laid, and the opportunity comes, the realm will naturally be reached.
Once your impetuous mind calms down, your life will begin to be enjoyable.
Every morning was spent hammering and training, and in the afternoon he was teaching Wei Zhongxian, a bastard, in the Academy of Arts. Occasionally, he would go to the Second Battalion of the Forbidden Army and work with them to fight against the bandits.
In this way, you can make money while also becoming familiar with how the army operates, killing two birds with one stone.
In the evening, the small Moxiangju became a gathering place for everyone. Bian Shengshen Tuzijin became a long-term resident, and Wei Zhongxian also came here from time to time to perform dental sacrifices.
Occasionally, Xiniang would bring several girls from the pavilion over to have a dinner, and the hungry bachelors would have their eyes gleaming.
According to Xiniang, the young gentleman knows everything about astronomy and geography, and there is almost nothing he can't do in this world. Even cooking is far better than others, and he will always come up with some unheard-of dishes to seduce others.
Every time the girl from the pavilion comes over, she always wants to take advantage of Chaitino, and the little girl can't stop her even if she blocks her left or right.
Chaitino often had lipstick on his face, and said to the brothers who were watching him grinding his teeth, "There is nothing we can do. This is the tragedy of being born too handsome."
They were so angry that they almost locked pockets with him at night.
The girls invited him to Xiuchun Pavilion every now and then, frequently hinting that the red envelope would be huge, which made Chaitino feel itchy in his heart.
I really can’t tell whether I am greedy for the girls’ bodies or the big red envelope.
It's just that it's just a matter of mooting. If Chaitino was to be serious about it, he really wouldn't have the guts.
More than one person has told him that he should not lose his virginity before becoming a master. This matter is of great importance and there is no room for any mistakes.
Li Yichuan once said that during a battle in the past, he saw a grandmaster-level general making a move. His halberd swept the sword energy around him for several feet, and he wiped out more than ten cavalry in an instant.
He smashed the city gate with three palms in the air, and when he was surrounded by enemies, he was so angry that he knocked down hundreds of swords and shields in an instant. It was like a god descending to earth!
