Take charge of Ascension

Chapter 67 Money
After hearing Zhao Ji's explanation, the tense expressions of everyone in the caravan relaxed a little bit, but those guards did not put away their swords, obviously they still had a bit of precaution and vigilance.

"Okay, everyone, put away your weapons quickly, and don't offend your benefactor."

Just when Zhao Ji was secretly unhappy, the leader of the caravan, the "Miss" Luo Qingyun called finally spoke out.

The woman's prestige in the caravan seems to be quite high. Once she spoke, no one dared not listen, including Luo Qingyun, all put their swords back into their sheaths.

"Little girl Luo Qiushui, pay my respects to benefactor."

Parting from the crowd, she came to Zhao Ji, the woman bowed her knees, smiled like a flower, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness and righteousness, saving the lives of all of us, Qiu Shui is very grateful."

"Hahaha, there is no need to be like this. Being chivalrous and righteous is our duty in the narrow sense of the word, but we should not be worshiped by Miss Luo."

Laughing three times, holding his hands empty, Zhao Ji said heartily.

"Benefactor is chivalrous and has a noble character. Qiu Shui admires him very much. I wonder if benefactor can tell me his name so that Qiushui can remember benefactor's kindness."

Luo Qiushui complimented again.

It was the first time he acted as a chivalrous hero, and he rescued a beautiful woman with outstanding looks. In Zhao Ji's heart, there was an uncontrollable sense of complacency.

However, Zhao Ji's heart is firm enough, his brain is very clear, and he has not been complacent. Under Luo Qiushui's praise and admiration, he can still remain calm.

"My name is Zhao Ji. Girl Luo can call me by my name from now on. Please don't mention things like benefactor. It's just a matter of raising my hands."

Arching his hands to Luo Qiushui, Zhao Ji said politely.

Luo Qiushui's expression remained unchanged, and he said sincerely: "To benefactor, it may have been just a little effort just now, but to us, it is a matter of life and death. How can Qiushui not be grateful."

"That's right, benefactor, thanks to your help just now, otherwise, Luo Qingyun would have been a dead person. I am very grateful for your kindness."

At this time, Luo Qingyun also came over, bowed down on one knee, and said in tears of gratitude.

"Brother Luo, please get up quickly."

Zhao Ji was startled, and hurried to help him.

Putting his hands on Luo Qingyun's arms, Zhao Ji tried his best to help him up, but he felt a force of resistance, and he couldn't help him for a while.

Raising his eyebrows, a slight smile appeared on the corners of Zhao Ji's mouth. His mind was in a hurry, and under the surging internal force, his hands seemed to have a thousand pounds of strength, and he suddenly helped Luo Qingyun who was kneeling on one knee.

"Benefactor's cultivation base is profound, and Luo Qingyun admires it."

Unable to resist Zhao Ji's strength, Luo Qingyun stood up, bowed his hands in a salute, and said quite convinced.

"Qingyun, you are messing around again, how can you be disrespectful to your benefactor and make amends quickly."

"Fu Bo" came over, first scolded Luo Qingyun, and then paid respects to Zhao Ji with the same salute, and said to Zhao Ji with gratitude: "Old Luo Fu, I will be the housekeeper of the Luo family, thank you benefactor for saving my life. I am already old, It’s not a few days to live well, even if I was killed by Bandit Kou, it’s nothing, but if Miss suffers even the slightest bit of damage, how can I have the face to face the master.”

"Uncle Fu, don't say that. You have been loyal to the Luo family for decades, and you have contributed a lot to the Luo family. The Luo family cannot do without you, and Qiushui cannot do without your guidance and help."

What Luo Fu said made Luo Qiushui burst into tears, and she was instantly moved. She threw herself into Luo Fu's arms and said very excitedly.

The two hugged each other and wept. The scene was very touching. When Luo Qingyun and the guards saw each other, they were secretly moved. Some secretly wiped their tears.

After venting their emotions, Luo Fu and Luo Qiushui finally calmed down, and found Zhao Ji who was a little embarrassed at the side, Luo Fu said embarrassedly: "Benefactor, I'm really sorry, the two of us lost our composure. Look at the joke."

"Hehe, where, where, the old man and Miss Luo have a deep relationship between master and servant, like father and daughter, I am very envious."

Zhao Ji said with a light smile.

Next, several people said a few more polite words, under Zhao Ji's repeated refusal, Luo Qiushui, Luo Fu and Luo Qingyun finally stopped calling him benefactor.

Acting chivalrously, helping others, and helping the weak are things that one is very proud of. Zhao Ji may be secretly proud of it, but it does not mean that he is willing to be talked about by others.

Zhao Ji is the person who is most afraid of trouble. After saving someone, if others show too much gratitude and enthusiasm, he will feel a little uncomfortable, as if he has a plan for saving someone.

Luo Qiushui, Luo Fu, and Luo Qingyun expressed their thanks to Zhao Ji time and again. The guards in the caravan and those members who could not fight also came to express their thanks one by one. They were all sincere and grateful. I can't take it anymore.

"Brother Zhao, where are you going, are you going to Sifang City?"

Under Zhao Ji's repeated corrections, Luo Qiushui finally stopped calling him Engong, and changed his name to "Big Brother Zhao", and he was unwilling to change again.

"That's right, Big Brother Yuan and I have something important to go to Sifang City."

Zhao Ji didn't intend to hide anything.

Luo Qiushui was overjoyed, and said happily: "Brother Zhao, we are also going to Sifang City. Since we are going the same way, why don't we go together."

"Brother Yuan, what do you think?"

It's not easy for Zhao Ji to make up his own mind, at least he should ask Yuan Chengzhi's opinion.

Yuan Chengzhi said indifferently: "Make up your mind."

In the world of Jade Blood Sword, Yuan Chengzhi has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time. He has experienced a lot of ups and downs, and he has already passed the age of being in the limelight. It is ashamed to be the first.

"Well then, I promise."

Facing Luo Qiushui's expectant eyes, Zhao Ji readily agreed.

After the discussion, Luo Qiushui directed the people in the caravan to clean up the scene, digging pits, burying people, everything was in order.

As a woman, Luo Qiushui's command is determined, and the people under him are obedient, and there is no one who does not obey the command, which is rare.

In the field he is good at, Luo Qiushui has shown an extraordinary temperament, which is self-confidence mixed with vigorous heroism, which is similar to Hua Mulan who fought on the battlefield on behalf of his father.

In the fierce battle with the bandits, many guards of the caravan died. When digging pits and burying people, an atmosphere of grief and indignation naturally radiated out, and some emotional people even cried softly.

The caravan was very busy, Zhao Ji was not idle either, all the bandits except Du Qianjun were killed, and Zhao Ji would not let go of all their belongings.

More than forty gangsters turned over one by one, and each of them got more or less some silver taels. In addition, they also harvested a lot of weapons and horses.

Originally, Yuan Chengzhi couldn't see things like searching for corpses, and wanted to stop Zhao Ji, but under his few words, he finally remained silent.

This time, when he came out to buy various medicines for Ling Shuanghua, Zhao Ji didn't bring much money, not because he didn't want to bring more, but because he was shy.

The group in Qiaomu Town had already spent almost all the silver taels they had brought. When they went to Sifang City, Zhao Ji wanted to play by ear, and there was always a way to get some silver taels.

On the way, this episode happened, which solved Zhao Ji's plight of lack of silver. After explaining the whole story to Yuan Chengzhi, it was naturally impossible for him to stop Zhao Ji from raising money.
