Chapter 1349 Selling Materials (3)

Sun Jie, who was also weak, interjected: "My lord, there is nothing I can do about it. Even if my lord doesn't book the best hotel, it would be very difficult for everyone to bring so many people to Beijing without showing off."

Not long ago, Zhou Wen, who was busy working as a maid, still massaged Zhao Hu's shoulders with a relaxed expression. He smiled and said, "Hee hee, it's not bad, at least my lord has received a lot of gifts."

Dio said angrily: "You think this gift is easy to accept, even if you don't pay a return visit, you have to return the gift, otherwise, do you think someone will give you a gift for nothing?"

Zhou Wen didn't care at all: "What's the matter, just buy any gift and send it back. As long as it's not worth more than their gift, we'll make money."

"Please, big sister, don't even think about it. Reciprocating a gift is a way of showing the face of an adult. The gift everyone returns can only be more valuable than the gift they give, otherwise everyone will be ashamed."

"Once you lose face and are bad-mouthed by them, sir, don't even think about messing around in this circle!" Sun Jie said helplessly.

Judging from his address, it was obvious that he subconsciously regarded Zhou Wen as a woman.

"So that's the case, then you must buy the best gift in return. Anyway, we have a lot of money, so don't care."

Regarding Zhao Hu's face, Zhou Wen immediately became generous.

"Why do we have a lot of money, this money should be saved, after all, the imperial capital is where the money is spent!" Dio taught.

"Well, that's right, then our gift in return should only be a little more expensive than their gift, shall we unwrap the gift?" Zhou Wen said, looking at Zhao Hu pitifully.

Zhao Hu, who didn't care, nodded indifferently and agreed that these subordinates would open the presents for him.

Zhou Wen immediately rushed towards the mountains of gifts with a cheer, while Dio asked Sun Jie to pull in several centurions and Liu Bin to help.

Zhao Hu gently stroked the black wolf's hair, silently watching the Chinese estimate the value of the gift while recording that the owner of the gift was Huai.

It feels good to have someone share your worries. If it was just me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even think of asking for a gift in return.

Thinking of these so-called social interactions, Zhao Hu couldn't help but pinch his brows again. The social circle of the rich and powerful really has a lot of rules, and he is really not used to it.

Under the busyness of Diou and others, the dignitaries soon received more expensive gifts than their own in return. Although Zhao Hu did not attend the banquet, he still left a good impression on the local dignitaries.

But only the dignitaries in this place knew about Zhao Hu, because Zhao Hu was camping in the wild and never appeared in the city, so it was impossible for the dignitaries in other places to get close to Zhao Hu.

Without the entanglement of those dignitaries, Zhao Hu and others rushed all the way to the imperial capital. After more than a month, Zhao Hu and others arrived at the periphery of the imperial capital.

And the three school officials in Ravensik are still far behind in the next few days.

After being investigated and verified by the guards of the imperial capital, Zhao Hu's followers were taken to the outermost camp where the guards of school officials were placed.

It's just that Daying is only responsible for the food for one hundred and thirteen people, and other followers need to pay a certain fee to be accommodated.Huai didn't care about this small amount of money.

After settling down the troops, Zhao Hu took Diou and his five personal guards into the imperial capital, and Hei Lang and Liu Bin could only stay in the barracks. They had no place to go as they were unfamiliar with the place.

Zhao Hu's military certificate is still a second lieutenant, but there is a pass signed by the lieutenant general, which proves that he is now a major. Officers above the colonel level can freely enter and leave the imperial capital.

The first time he entered the imperial capital, Zhao Hu went to visit the marshal.

If the guard who happened to be in charge of guarding the gate didn't know Zhao Hu, no one would go to ask for instructions on behalf of Zhao Hu, because the major, like ants, is absolutely not qualified to visit the Marshal in this imperial capital where generals are jumping all over the street.

When Marshal Tra heard that it was Zhao Hu who came to visit, he was immediately invited in. Of course, Zhao Hu's five personal guards could only stay at the gatehouse.

Under the guidance of his attendants, Zhao Hu entered the holy place in the heart of the imperial army.

The Marshal's Mansion is very large, but it is not as beautiful as imagined. The scenery that catches the eye gives people a simple, generous and simple feeling. Apart from the marble blocks, the entire Marshal's Mansion is green grass. There are not even trees for shade, let alone flowers.

When the attendant guided Zhao Hu close to a palace-style house, the attendant was shocked because His Excellency the Marshal was actually standing on the steps in front of the door, waiting for the arrival of the guests. This kind of honorable treatment can only be given to those who are dignified officials or who are highly valued by the Marshal. , to enjoy.

The attendant glanced at Zhao Hu suspiciously, thinking in his heart: "Could it be that this young man is someone highly valued by the Marshal? Why have I never heard of Zhao Hu before?"

Zhao Hu also saw Marshal Tela, walked a few steps quickly, and stood at attention to salute.

Seeing Zhao Hu still standing in front of him with the same indifferent expression as when he first met, the marshal who casually saluted couldn't help laughing: "You still look like you don't care about anything, do you feel that you are being sent to be a Did the logistics chief wrong you? Hehe, you suddenly became a major."

"No, Your Excellency, I am still very grateful for the opportunity given by Your Excellency, because it made my subordinate understand what logistics work is."

Zhao Hu's words made Marshal happy, and he patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder excitedly: "Yes, it's very good for you to think so." After saying that, he dragged Zhao Hu into the room.

The marshal's expression and behavior made the attendants present silently remember Zhao Hu's name and appearance in their hearts, and only they knew what to use after remembering it.

After entering the living room, Marshal asked Zhao Hu how he entered the prairie, how he survived in the prairie, and how he brought so many people back to the country without getting lost.

Zhao Hu's character was to ask and answer, and the Marshal's questions were all answered. As for why he didn't get lost, Zhao Hu just explained it because the servants were locals.

As for the map, Zhao Hu didn't say anything about it. In his opinion, the rich and powerful who stole the map would definitely hand it over the map to claim credit, otherwise it would be nothing to claim credit for.
Since the empire can still get the map of the grassland, why should I say it and cause trouble?

To Zhao Hu, it was just a courtesy to visit the marshal himself, not to complain to the marshal.

"Your Excellency, my subordinate won two thousand-mile horses in a gamble on the prairie. I felt that only the Marshal could match them, so I took the liberty of giving them to Your Excellency." Seeing that the Marshal didn't continue to ask questions, Zhao Hu suddenly said this.

Under Diou's reminder, Zhao Hu would never admit that he started his business with the brigade's supplies.

After hearing Zhao Hu's words, the marshal looked stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Hu who was still maintaining a calm expression, and said with a cold face: "Hmph, it looks like you are reluctant to give me the Maxima?"

Zhao Hu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "This subordinate is willing." Apart from this sentence, Zhao Hu had no other explanation.

In the eyes of the attendants present, there was a look of gloating and misfortune. This major is going to be unlucky, because the marshal never accepts gifts.

For some unknown reason, the Marshal looked at Zhao Hu, who was a little embarrassed, and suddenly his cold face dissipated. He nodded with a smile and said, "Since you gave me the Maxima, I will accept it."

Speaking of this, Marshal pointed Zhao Hu with an elder face: "You, why do you even put on a cold face to curry favor with Shangguan, and say such a thousand words? Anyone who sees you thinks you don't want to, I'm sure This gift-giving matter is your personal guard who came up with the idea for you. "I see, in the future, if there is any gift-giving matter, let your personal guard come forward. Your character is really not suitable for such things, lest you Not only did it not please people, but it offended them. "

The marshal's sudden change immediately caused the attendants to widen their eyes and open their mouths in a daze.

Seeing the attendant lose his composure, the marshal realized that he had gone too far, and immediately said to Zhao Hu with a smile on his face: "Well, you have to report to the military headquarters later, and I won't keep you either."

Zhao Hu understood that this was seeing off the guests, so he immediately stood up and saluted: "Then this subordinate will leave."

The sullen marshal, for some reason, suddenly got up and patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Zhao Hu, if you want to keep your military qualities, you don't just have to kill the enemy. Standing out is good, but too much If it stands out, it will become a bad thing, and you need to learn more about human accidents."

"Yes, thank you Marshal for your guidance." Zhao Hu sincerely thanked the Marshal.

Although Zhao Hu doesn't care about being promoted and getting rich, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand these dark sides.

He knew that the Marshal was teaching him not to stand out so as not to be taboo by others. Zhao Hu had a deep understanding of this. Just looking at the fact that the map was stolen just after he came back, he knew it clearly, but he didn't know what the other party was concerned about. If you attack to the death, you will have room for it. Just look at the words and deeds of the two majors who test their merits.

After Zhao Hu left, Marshal returned to the study room, pacing back and forth, and muttered to himself: "Damn it, why did I lose my composure today? How dare I show how much I value Zhao Hu in front of my attendants? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. ah?"

Speaking of this, the Marshal patted his forehead: "It's really weird. When I saw Zhao Hu, I couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity, just like the last time I saw him for the first time, and I didn't even think about letting him join the bodyguard. It's really weird. , Forget it, don't think about it." The marshal shook his head and sat at the desk.

The marshal shouted loudly: "Come on!"

After the voice fell, the two guards immediately pushed the door and stood at attention to salute. The marshal wrote a note with a pen, handed it to the guard and said, "Give it to the chief officer of the military department, and let them handle special matters."
