To Hold One’s Joy

Chapter 480: Task

  Chapter 480 Mission

  Kuer was bored and waited for a while, and the female shopkeeper finally raised her head: "The broken silver is not counted, the bank notes are 58,672 taels in total."

  Kuer frowned upon hearing this: "Not many."

The female shopkeeper nodded in agreement: "It's not much. The previous money was returned to the treasury by Zhu Wu when the restaurant was closed. Now the fifty-eight thousand six hundred and seventy-two taels of silver, of which eighteen thousand six hundred and seventy-two Twelve taels are the bills that I went to the various mansions to collect in the past two days, and the remaining 40,000 taels were put here by King Kaiyang before he left Beijing. Considering that the 40,000 taels were paid in advance, they were not returned to the treasury..."

   After hearing the explanation from the female shopkeeper, Kerr felt relieved.

   "Okay, let's put this bank note in the bag for now. I'll take it away and give it to the girl. If it's not enough, let's talk about it."

  The female shopkeeper swiftly packed several stacks of banknotes into a box, and couldn't help asking: "Miss, do you need so much money all of a sudden?"

   Among them is the 40,000 taels prepaid by King Kaiyang.

  Of course, since King Kaiyang's 40,000 taels are placed here, they will be eaten up sooner or later, and it is still the owner's money.

  Kuer and the female shopkeeper are also familiar. Although it is difficult to say that it is for Zhu Wu, she can't help but say: "Yes, it was spent on men."

  The female shopkeeper: "..."

  Until Kouer went out with the money box in her arms, the female shopkeeper was still feeling sad for King Kaiyang.

  Zhu Wu was asking Luo Sheng what he wanted to do.

  Luo Sheng looked at Zhu Wu, and said word by word: "I want to ask you to go to Zhennan Palace to get something."

  Zhu Wuben was disturbed by Luo Sheng's sudden approach to the door with Suzaku Ling. Hearing this, his heart was shocked, and he blurted out: "Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"

  Uncle Xing became much calmer: "If you go to Zhennan Wangfu to get something, why go to the south?"

  Luo Sheng didn't hold back, holding a teacup and said: "I'm not talking about the Zhennan Prince's Mansion in the capital, but the Zhennan Prince's Mansion in Nanyang City. Of course, it's more appropriate to call it a deserted house now."

  Uncle Xing's eyes were treacherous, and he and Zhu Wu looked at each other.

  The doubts in the hearts of the two were more than when they saw the half of the Suzaku Token.

  Zhu Wu pressed his shock and asked: "What do you want me to go to the old mansion of Zhennan Prince?"

   "There is a rockery in the back garden of Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and that thing is in the belly of the rockery..."

  Listening to Luo Sheng's detailed explanation of the hidden location of the object to be taken, both Zhu Wu and Uncle Xing felt turbulent waves in their hearts.

  Why did Ms. Luo know that there was something hidden in the rockery in the old mansion of Zhennan Prince?

  Uncle Xing is fine, Zhu Wu grew up in the palace, and he is regarded as one of the most respected soldiers in the palace, but he has no idea that there is a universe in that rockery.

   "Could it be that Governor Luo—"

Concerning Zhu Wu's hesitant speculation, Luo Sheng just smiled, and spread out his hand to reveal the half of the Suzaku Token that he had been holding: "Just like how I got this half of the Suzaku Token, about why I know Zhennan There is something hidden in the rockery in the old residence of the Wangfu, and I will tell you two when the time is right."

  Zhu Wu waited to say more, but was stopped by Uncle Xing: "Wu Lang, Miss Luo is holding the Vermillion Bird Token, she is the master of the Vermilion Bird Guard, so don't keep asking."

  Zhu Wu had no choice but to nod his head and said nothing more.

  At this time, Kouer came in with the money box in her arms: "Girl, the money is here."

  Luo Sheng swept Zhu Wu lightly: "Give Mr. Zhu a look."

  Kore put the money box on the table and opened it neatly.

  The banknotes piled high in the box almost jumped out.

  Zhu Wu's eyes straightened.

  As the accountant of a restaurant, he has seen rich people. But it was only a few days ago that the account was settled, and all the money was returned to the treasury. Just now, when Miss Luo said that she went to the wine shop to withdraw money, he thought it would be at most one thousand eight hundred taels.

  Based on his experience as an accountant, this is at least 20,000 taels!

  Uncle Xing’s eyes were straightened, but his idea was much simpler: a lot of money!

   "The total is fifty-eight thousand six hundred and seventy-two taels of silver. It's just that the denomination of the bank notes is not large, so Mr. Zhu has to take care of it." Kerr warned.

  Zhu Wu nodded, and secretly pinched his palms.

   Isn't it nearly 60,000 taels of silver? Don't look too ignorant!

   "Ku'er, go outside and wait." Luo Sheng ordered.

  Keer glanced at the aged Uncle Xing and the scruffy bearded Zhu Wu, turned around and went out.

   "Luo—" Uncle Xing opened his mouth, "Master, did you give Wulang so much money?"

  Luo Sheng smiled sweetly: "Not much, if not enough, I will ask Kouer to send another box from Luo's mansion."

   "Enough, enough." Uncle Xing nodded repeatedly.

  Zhu Wu couldn't help coughing.

  Uncle, why are you so excited? Why do you think you have too much money? Isn’t it the time when you thought the money he sent back was not enough to eat?

  Uncle Xing stared back angrily.

  The stinky boy tried his best to break up the killer organization. It's not as good as Miss Luo who leaked a little bit through her fingers, so she has a coughing face.

When the two of them calmed down, Luo Sheng confessed: "Zhu Wu, return to Beijing as soon as you get that thing, and hand it to me. Remember, don't open it with brute force, or the contents inside will be destroyed." .”

  Zhu Wu replied yes, and glanced at Uncle Xing: "Uncle Xing has injuries on his body, and it is difficult to move—"

  Luo Sheng interrupted him: "You don't have to worry about this, I will arrange someone to take care of Uncle Xing. When you come back, maybe Uncle Xing will recover as before."

  Zhu Wu rushed to Luo Sheng and bowed: "Thank you, Zhu Wu."

  Luo Sheng smiled disapprovingly: "Why be polite, I am the new owner of Suzaku Guard, and I have the responsibility to take care of the injured. There is also Suzaku Guard who is far away in Heyang, and I will be responsible for the cost of raising soldiers in the future."

  Zhu Wu twitched the corner of his mouth.

  Miss Luo is quick enough to adapt to her new identity...

   "Okay, the matter is over, I should go home."

  Uncle Xing wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Luo Sheng: "Uncle Xing is injured, so don't move around."

  Uncle Xing thanked you, and hurriedly said: "Then let Wulang see you off for me."

  Zhu Wu respectfully sent Luo Sheng out, and when he came back, he looked at Uncle Xing with a dignified expression, "Uncle Xing, Miss Luo has really become the new master of Zhuquewei?"

   "Otherwise?" Uncle Xing asked back.

  Zhu Wu frowned: "But Miss Luo is a little elusive—"

  This girl loves to raise noodles. There are dozens of Suzaku guards, and there are more than a hundred young men.

  Thinking about how these more than a hundred teenagers must obey Miss Luo, and Miss Luo can do whatever she wants—Zhu Wu shuddered.

OK!

  Uncle Xing took a deep look at Zhu Wu and sighed: "Wu Lang, I thought you were the most suitable person to succeed me, but now it seems that I was wrong."

   "Uncle Xing—"

  Uncle Xing waved his hand, staring at Zhu Wu with sharp eyes: "Goro, what do you think is the most important requirement for a qualified Suzaku Guard commander?"

  Zhu opened his mouth five times.

  There are many conditions to be a leader.

  Uncle Xing didn't wait for Zhu Wu's answer, and said word by word: "It's the observance of the rules that have been passed down."

  Zhu Wu was a little unconvinced: "But what if the half of the Suzaku Token falls into the wrong hands?"

Uncle Xing took a deep look at Zhu Wu: "Do you think the Vermillion Bird Token you saw is like that? That half of the Vermillion Bird Token is a disguise, and the only ones who really know that it is the Vermilion Bird Token are every Zhennan King and the commander of the Vermilion Bird Guards." What are the chances that the disguised Vermillion Bird Token falls into the hands of the villain, and the villain sees through it and recognizes it as the Vermilion Bird Token? You must know that even Princess Zhennan doesn’t know the existence of the Vermillion Bird Guard.”

Seeing that Zhu Wu was still frowning, Uncle Xing sighed softly: "Wu Lang, don't you understand? After all, people can't be considered exhaustive, and relying on the commander of Zhuquewei to judge whether they should work for the new master is easier to take advantage of. Instead It's the rule of acknowledging orders and not recognizing people, which is a fatal rule, and at least one can follow it with a clear conscience. If you follow the wrong master, it can only be said that Suzaku's strength is exhausted."

  Zhu Wu thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "I understand."

  Uncle Xing smiled gratifiedly: "Besides, the money has been collected."

  Zhu Wu: "..."

  Uncle Xing ignored the weird-looking nephew, thinking about Luo Sheng.

  Miss Luo ordered Zhu Wu to go to work, and sent someone to take care of him who stayed here. After a thorough investigation, he was used to make Zhu Wu obedient.

  This new master is actually very successful in his actions.

  I have always suffered from low back pain. I go to the hospital every year for acupuncture and physiotherapy. To catch up with the epidemic, I can only rely on plasters to support me. Although the update is early today, but the backache can't support me to continue writing, I went to collapse and take a while. On the last day of the end of the month, I beg the little fairies who don’t dislike the update to reward a monthly ticket. If you dislike it, just ignore this sentence. Love you guys and see you tomorrow.
