Sister Wan'er seemed quite happy. She washed the fruits and made tea for Chu Chen with her own hands. She was so busy that she did not pretend to be an outsider.
"Sister Wan'er, stop working so hard, it's enough to eat."
Chu Chen looked at his sister's busy back and was quite speechless.
However, he was still quite happy inside.
It's like going back to childhood.
At that time, my sister also prepared delicious food for him.
After a while, Sister Wan'er finished her work and sat down, and started talking with Chu Chen.
The two siblings first chatted about home, and then the conversation quickly turned to business matters.
"Erlang, have you been promoted to an eighth-grade immortal official so quickly?"
Sister Wan'er was a little surprised.
She had long heard the good news that her younger brother had been promoted to the eighth level of Taoism and became an eighth-level immortal official. For this, she had been happy for a long time.
However, he never expected that in a short period of time, his younger brother would be promoted to the rank of eighth-grade immortal official and moved to the right to be the deputy leader of the first-grade class.
This promotion speed is much faster than hers.
Chu Chen smiled: "This time I won the fifth place in the competition for immortal officials of the same level in the Ghost and God Division, and got a reward to recruit soldiers and horses. However, Guangping County has just experienced a ghost attack, and it is difficult to recruit high-quality soldiers and horses, so I came here
To Qingzhou City."
"You've finally come to the right place."
Sister Wan'er was very happy to hear that her brother came to her for help, and subconsciously said:
"I still have more than ten thousand jade coins here..."
When Chu Chen heard this, he quickly interrupted: "No! Sister Wan'er, my reward this time is a full 35,000 jade coins. Adding in my savings, it's a full 40,000 jade coins!"
Sister Wan'er was quite happy when she heard this, and even seemed to be vaguely relieved.
Chu Chen's spiritual eyes are amazing and he is good at observing words and colors. Naturally, there is no escape from this change.
As expected, any monk is short of money.
There is no monk who is not short of money. The higher the Taoist practice, the greater the expenses and the greater the need for money.
It seems that Sister Wan'er is also short of money.
"Fortunately, I brought enough money this time, otherwise, I would definitely not come to Sister Wan'er for help!"
...
There were not many errands in the Hall of Heroes, so Sister Wan'er gave instructions to her soldiers and immediately took Chu Chen to the Qingzhou City God's Underworld.
Sister Wan'er's deputy envoy to the Hall of Heroes often dealt with the Qingzhou City God's Mansion and was quite familiar with the people in the City God's Mansion. She soon brought Chu Chen to visit General Niutou of the Qingzhou City God's Mansion.
"Deputy Ambassador Chen, it's a small matter, no need to be polite."
General Niutou smiled with a smile on his face: "Besides, your brother approached me to recruit troops, which is a political achievement for me, and I have to thank you for helping me connect the dots!"
This burly ghost general with a bull head and a body looks simple and honest, but he is very knowledgeable and speaks nicely.
For a time, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.
In order to avoid suspicion, and at the same time, Sister Wan'er was not allowed to leave her patrol duties for too long without permission, so after introducing Chu Chen to General Niutou, she left in a hurry and returned to the Hall of Heroes.
"Brother, since you are Deputy Ambassador Chen's biological brother, then we are one of our own."
General Niutou is still very enthusiastic.
This meeting of his is not deliberately trying to get closer or get closer to each other, but it is a fact.
The deputy envoy of the Qingzhou Hall of Heroes often dealt with the Chenghuang Mansion and had close contacts. He and many of his brothers came from the Hall of Heroes.
They have always been polite and respectful to the deputy envoys of the Hall of Valor.
"My family will not talk about the situation. If you recruit soldiers and horses, I will definitely give you a group of elite soldiers and generals. No compromises will be made, and no water will be added to it."
Chu Chen was happy in his heart, this was the result he wanted.
He heard from his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, that recruiting soldiers and horses in Chenghuang's Underworld was not a simple matter, as the water inside was very deep.
If you don't have connections, the "little devils" in Chenghuang's underworld will be very difficult to deal with.
Not only are they sold to soldiers and horses at a premium, but they are also "passed off as good ones" and so on, using the dead souls who have never been on the battlefield as the dead soldiers and horses in bloody battles.
If the monks recruit these soldiers, they will definitely suffer big losses.
This is why Chu Chen's first thought when recruiting troops was to find connections.
Why the Xin'an City God was so easy to talk to in the first place was not because the Xin'an City God's Mansion was kind, but because his master, Taoist Xu Ping, was the director of the Xin'an Ghosts and Gods Division and was in charge of the Xin'an City God's Mansion.
If monks from other places go to Xin'an County to recruit soldiers, the treatment will not be so good.
It's a pity that Chu Chen is very powerful, and the soldiers and horses of Xin'an County Chenghuangdifu cannot meet Chu Chen's needs.
After all, he recruited hundreds of high-quality soldiers and horses at once, which was too much for the Xin'an City God.
He can only recruit soldiers and horses at the County God's Mansion and the State City God's Mansion.
At the moment, with Sister Wan'er's face in mind, the Niutou General from the Zhouchenghuang Mansion said so directly.
My family will not cheat him.
He can recruit troops normally.
For Chu Chen, it was enough to be able to recruit troops normally.
If the Niutou General wanted to facilitate him, he would not dare to agree, for fear of affecting Sister Wan'er.
"Thank you so much, General. I'm going to recruit a group of high-quality soldiers. I don't know how to recruit them?"
Chu Chen asked bluntly.
General Niutou smiled:
"One hundred jade coins for a ninth-grade Yin soldier; three hundred jade coins for an eighth-grade Yin soldier."
When Chu Chen heard this, he nodded repeatedly. This price was considered very conscientious and did not kill him.
Sister Wan'er's face still works, and it is indeed her own price.
Chu Chen did not bargain, but asked:
"General, can I choose myself?"
General Niutou nodded: "Of course you can, haha. However, if you choose by yourself, you may get an eye punch. You have to be mentally prepared for this."
After speaking, he seemed quite sincere and said:
"Little brother, you are Deputy Ambassador Chen's younger brother. This general will not trick you. The soldiers and horses I selected for you are absolutely good.",
"If you choose to choose by yourself, then it won't be through my hands. You can figure it out yourself."
Chu Chen was stunned and couldn't understand this bull-headed general.
The other party seemed sincere and a bit threatening.
Is there any interest in it?
Chu Chen's mind was spinning, and he secretly wondered what he had figured out.
Come to think of it, this Niutou General probably didn't lie. If he chose, for Sister Wan'er's sake, the quality of the soldiers and horses would definitely not be bad in comparison.
After all, this world is a mess.
If I made too much before, it was just for the sake of acquaintances. If I made less, it would be a loss, and I would be a real person.
