Chapter 302: The soldiers are divided into two groups
Wen Xiaotong stood behind Liu'er, waiting for Wen Shaoxue to happily give the money to the old doctor, and then slowly walked over.
"Shopkeeper, since you said you can pay me my salary in advance, can you do it now... I will never run away. I will come back to work after I grab the medicine and deliver it to my sister."
Wen Shaoxue looked at his injuries and clicked her tongue: "Do you think I will let you work with your injuries? It's my loss. You go get the medicine and then go back to take care of your sister. The injury will be healed."
Come to my place to work, I don't care for the injured."
Wen Xiaotong looked embarrassed: "Actually, no need... My injury is not a problem. It won't affect my work. I have survived even more serious injuries than this before."
Liu'er shouted: "Okay, it's okay. I almost broke my bones. The lady told you to go back, so go back. What are you talking about? It's your job to heal the injury."
"This is your salary for a year, three hundred dollars per month. This is four taels of silver. I will give you a reward every year. If you do well, you may get more. Go get medicine for your sister first.
Four taels of silver is enough for your brother and sister's expenses for a year. If it's not enough, you can come and advance next year's expenses with me." Wen Shaoxue joked.
Wen Xiaotong simply didn't know how to thank the woman in front of him. At this moment, in his opinion, this was like a bodhisattva descending to earth to save the suffering: "This is already a lot. I don't know anything and can only do some menial work, but you, the shopkeeper, are willing to
Give me three hundred dollars a month, and two taels of silver are enough for us, brother and sister, to make a living for a year."
Wen Shaoxue waved his hand: "Okay, go quickly. If I give you more, buy some meat to strengthen your strength. If any customer is unreasonable and makes trouble in the store in the future, just throw her out and the three hundred dollars will be taken from me."
Earned it."
Wen Xiaotong and Liu'er were both amused by Wen Shaoxue. Wen Xiaotong bowed, then took the money and followed the old doctor out. He wanted to go directly to the old doctor to get medicine and then go back to take care of his sister.
Zhu Changqing glanced at Wen Shaoxue's figure before leaving, thoughtfully along the way.
Until he snapped his fingers and a guard suddenly appeared. Zhu Changqing smiled sinisterly: "The man found out for me this morning. As long as there is anything that can be used as evidence in court, I will copy it directly."
The secret guard lowered his head and said yes, then disappeared again.
Lin Chong met Wang Chengen in the evening. Wang Chengen looked anxious: "Your Majesty, I heard that you want to divide the army into two groups. I think this is inappropriate."
Lin Chong propped up his chin: "What's wrong?"
Wang Chengen replied: "Now there are hundreds of thousands of pursuing troops, as well as forces hiding in the dark and ready to move. It is too dangerous to spread out the manpower at this time."
Lin Chong smiled and said: "We do this because of danger, so that the opponent's strength can be spread out. After all, their leaders are limited. After they are separated, it will not be so easy to control the overall situation. This is very beneficial to us."
Wang Chengen frowned: "The old servant will follow His Majesty."
Lin Chong chuckled: "You, old man, are a fool and you know which one is true. Manager Wang, I am entrusting you with a heavy responsibility."
He paused and said, "The whole way you led was completely under your command. Wouldn't it be more like me, the unlucky emperor who is afraid of you to death and only obeys your orders?"
Wang Chengen:...Don’t make it sound like what happened to me, I’ve always been a slave, okay?
However, if it was entirely up to him, it would indeed be much more convenient for him along the way. There were some things he increasingly didn't know how to say to Lin Chong. Maybe it wasn't that he didn't know how to say it, but that he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
This directly caused his efficiency in doing things to slow down.
"How about it? Have you thought about it carefully? This opportunity is rare. Besides, I still have Qingfang here. You know her skills very well. She can also protect her personally, day or night, right?"
Fortunately, Yuan Qingfang wanted to go out for some air, so she went on horseback. Otherwise, she would have been scolded again after hearing this. Lin Chong smiled happily on the surface, but in fact he was lamenting in his heart.
Wang Chengen began to hesitate again, and Lin Chong did not rush him: "Let's talk about something else first. Is there any result on the identities of those mysterious people?"
Wang Chengen nodded: "Yes, those people don't seem to be on the same journey. Several of them are masters of the Red Flower Club. They are following the Red Flower Club. They are not a threat to us."
Lin Chong nodded: "What about the rest? Who are they?"
Wang Chengen hesitated: "The people from Tiandimen are also investigating, but they all wear masks, so it is difficult to investigate."
Lin Chong suddenly thought of something: "Mask? Dark Ghost Tower? Did King Rui send someone to assassinate me?" No, I have to sleep with the young lady at night. The young lady sleeps lightly and will wake up at the slightest disturbance. Unlike himself, he wakes up.
When I came here, my head might no longer be on my neck.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't tell. I suspect that these people are not from the Dark Ghost Tower, but I have no clue for a while." Wang Chengen whispered.
Lin Chong touched his chin: "No matter who he is, whether he is a human or a ghost, he must stay with me in Hejian Mansion." Knowing that there are friendly forces secretly helping him, Lin Chong's heart suddenly felt a lot warmer. This kind of
The joy of finding a comrade in an underground party is something that ordinary people cannot understand.
Lin Chong glanced at Wang Chengen, and by looking at his increasingly firm eyes, he knew that he had made a choice: "How about it, Manager Wang, have you considered it?" He had already given instructions to Mu Mu and Mu Xi about dividing the troops into two groups.
The manpower has been decided.
Lin Chong originally thought of throwing Mu Xi or Mu Xi over to increase his credibility, but in the end neither of these two naughty kids wanted to go, so much so that they hugged Lin Chong's thigh and accused him of child abuse. In the end, they both stayed.
They left in a hurry in the middle of the night, and there were people in the capital who were unwilling to give up those properties, or had already hooked up with the feudal kings. These people are now dealing with matters in the court and the masters, and they must have had a big head.
Lin Chong thought gloatingly.
"What do you think about this old slave? Naturally, this slave will do whatever His Majesty says." Wang Chengen looked much more respectful and honest than usual.
Lin Chong smiled: "Really? Ever since I took this position, Manager Wang has been working hard to make suggestions. I see all of this, and I am very grateful to you."
Wang Chengen only felt that there was something creepy in his smile. He said he didn't dare and left. He intuitively didn't want to stay in this place any longer.
After he left, Lin Chong said to himself in the air: "Now that you have made your choice, I can no longer see clearly what your fate will be in the future. I wish you good luck, Eunuch Wang."
