Chapter 168 Chili and Stinky Tofu
"What good things did you bring home?"

"Is there no portrait? Let's take a look. The head of the four guards carries a portrait of his wife with him, and puts it in a small bamboo tube. Oh dear."

The idiot was very excited, and he was about to reach out to touch Xie Yuan's body as he spoke.

Xie Yuan knocked off his hand, and said with a condensed expression: "Speak as you speak, and there are no rules for those who use hands and feet!"

Seeing Xie Yuan like this, the stupefied retracted his paw embarrassingly, and scratched his chin unnaturally.

"God of Wealth" also felt a little embarrassed, he smiled and smoothed things over and said, "We haven't seen you for a long time, I'm happy. We are all brothers, why don't you be more casual?"

Xie Yuan kept his face cold and said nothing, he held the bundle tightly in his hands, and walked towards the middle of his camp.

The lively scene suddenly cooled down.

"God of Wealth" waved at the fool and them to leave.He followed behind Xie Yuan, persuading her as he walked:
"You're too harsh, aren't we doing this because we like you?"

Xie Yuan said coldly: "I know, but I don't like it."

"God of Wealth" was a little at a loss, after a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and said, "Let me carry the burden for you."

"No, I can do it myself." Xie Yuan's voice was low and ungrateful, and his steps were quicker.

There was another more awkward silence, and the atmosphere was stiff.

The "God of Wealth" followed her, feeling that he was making fun of himself, and was on the verge of leaving.

Xie Yuan also felt that his deliberate behavior was a little too inhuman and annoying, so his tone softened a little, and asked:

"Zhou Sijun, what happened along the way?"

When "God of Wealth" heard it, his mood improved a lot in an instant, and he quickly followed up again, saying:
"There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that those who joined the army from the southwest are not used to the weather here, and their armaments are not ready. They complained a lot along the way. Oh, yes, they are also not used to the food."

"God of Wealth" Zhou Fang is Zhou Sijun.

When Xie Yuan saw him at first, he was originally a commander, but he escaped with Xie Yuan, the team broke up and came back again, and then he took the position of commander again.

Xie Yuan thought for a while and said, "It's understandable. When we arrived in the southwest, weren't we also homesick and not used to anything? Make a plan and buy some peppers to satisfy their hunger."

The "God of Wealth" suddenly had a bitter face, and began to complain again, saying: "I said, Mr. Captain, you don't know how expensive rice is if you are not in charge. Rice, noodles and salt are enough, and pepper? You forgot that we didn't even have rice at the beginning." Are there days when you can’t eat?”

"I know." Xie Yuan said.

But before she finished her next sentence, the "God of Wealth" answered,

"You sure don't know, how can a child of an aristocratic family have sense of spending money? You have always been extravagant, and you spend all your salary. I don't know about you?"

Xie Yuan paused, turned his head to look at him, and asked suspiciously: "Zhou Sijun, do you have any prejudice against my origin? Why do you always use this to scold me?"

"God of Wealth" had an unnatural expression on his face. He stuttered and said, "...I... didn't mean that, but it's true. For example, you know that in our place, a catty of peppers is enough to buy How much rice?... This is called extravagance and waste. We are a reserve camp, and even if I grind flowers out of my mouth, we receive the least amount of food and money... I am already nervous, but still buy peppers?"

Xie Yuan was silent for a while, walking without speaking, as if he was thinking about whether his order was reasonable or not.

After a while she said:
"Although I don't know the price of pepper and rice, I know that half of the people in our camp are from the southwest. If they are unstable, our camp will be unstable. Besides, I don't plan to ask you to supply them for a long time. It’s enough to satisfy their hunger by eating a meal.”

Xie Yuan was afraid that the "God of Wealth" would still be in trouble, and said: "How to save specifically, you have to figure out a way. The purpose is to tell them that I, the captain, knows their difficulties and is willing to take care of them. I don't need a lot. This meaning has been conveyed, you The task is accomplished.”

"God of Wealth" was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, I see."

"As for the military uniforms...wait and see. I don't know if this battle is going to be fought. If it is really going to be fought, the armaments will be brought down in advance. If not... you should find a way to save some money and make them a piece of clothing first. Very It's going to be cold soon."

"Good guy, do you really think I'm the God of Wealth, who can give money out of thin air? How can that little money be enough to do so many things?" Zhou Sijun said anxiously, his eyes widened.

Xie Yuan glanced at him, smiled rarely, and said, "The name 'God of Wealth' is not for nothing, I believe you. Take your time, ah."

After saying that, he opened the tent and walked in, and the curtain of the tent was closed before Zhou Fang's eyes.

Zhou Sijun, known as the "God of Wealth", stood outside the tent, dazed for a long time.

After a long while, he raised his hand and patted his mouth lightly, cursing himself in his heart: I really owe it, Xie Yuan often doesn't look good on others, and now and then he smiled at him, and he felt extremely useful in his heart. It's like a big light...

... really worthless.

……

In the palace of Pingcheng, Shen Liuzhen put the red box in his hand aside, lifted his clothes and was about to kneel down, but Shi Yu Wulei quickly lifted it up with his hands, and said:
"Okay, I summoned you alone, not to see you begging me."

"Your Majesty...attention, your self-proclaimed..."

Wu Lei interrupted him, his eyes were full of excitement, he clapped his hands on Shen Liuzhen's shoulders excitedly, and said with a smile:

"Liuzhen, we succeeded! You're not around, you don't know how much I want to share this joy with you, hahahaha..."

He still felt that it was not enough to express his inner feelings, so he went up to give Shen Liuzhen a hug, and patted him on the back excitedly.

But after taking two shots, his laughter stopped abruptly, his face relaxed hesitantly, looked at Shen Liuzhen and said:
"You... um... what's the smell on you? Didn't you wash up before entering the palace? Actually, there's no need to be so anxious."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he subconsciously raised his arm and sniffed his sleeve, and said:

"It shouldn't be. Before I entered the palace, I specially bathed and scented it. Can I still smell it?"

"What did you do?" Ulay took two steps back, with his hands behind his back, and asked with some disgust.

Shen Liuzhen said: "Oh, yes... I have something nice to show His Majesty." Then he bent down to open the lid of the box.

Ulay took two steps forward, looked at the box and asked, "Isn't it some strange delicacy like stinky tofu brought from my hometown? I... I told you in advance that no matter how rare it is, I can't accept it." For this kind of thing, don't have any expectations, just think that I can reward you."
