Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 320 So Much Money

Hu Jincai's guard captain Gong Sanpao led his troops over and looked around at the fleeing border troops.

"Has anyone seen their leader?"

Everyone shook their heads. The battle was already in chaos. They only knew that the enemy cavalry were dressed differently, but they didn't see what their leader looked like.

"Clean up the battlefield, quickly."

Five hundred guards jumped off their horses and began to clean up the battlefield and collect statistics.

This is Lin Feng’s requirement. Every battle must have clear records of the losses, military achievements, confiscated spoils, etc.

Gong Sanpao also jumped off his horse and took the water bag to pour it into his mouth.

After chasing for a long time, the men and horses were exhausted and had to rest.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted loudly.

"Boss, this guy looks like a leader."

Gong Sanpao ran over quickly.

Kong Jin was trampled hard by the warhorse several times and was almost dying.

He stared blankly at the dark grey sky, and blood foamed from his mouth from time to time.

His lips were still moving, as if he was saying something.

Gong Sanpao walked up and squatted in front of Kong Jin, taking a closer look at his attire.

"Well, he's a high-ranking official, so just shut up and let me listen to what he has to say."

The soldiers who were shouting around shut up.

Gong Sanpao leaned over and put his ear close to Kong Jin's mouth, listening carefully.

Kong Jin tried to raise his voice, but it seemed as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he didn't even have the energy to speak.

Gong Sanpao listened for a long time but didn't hear anything clearly.

I could only shake my head and stand up.

"This must be a high-ranking officer in the border army. Take him back and let General Hu take a look."

"Boss, this man is dying."

"He's not dead yet."

The two soldiers stepped forward and gestured, then turned to look at Gong Sanpao.

"Boss, if you move, you'll really die."

Gong Sanpao was a hot-tempered person and said impatiently.

"If you're dead, you're dead. Why are you hesitating?"

The two soldiers quickly grabbed Kong Jin's arms and legs, pulled him up, and put him on the back of the warhorse.

Kong Jin lay prone on the horse's back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The soldier hurried forward and touched the side of his neck.

"Boss, he's really dead."

"Look at him and see if he has a badge or something. How stupid."

Gong Sanpao scolded his subordinates like this, but in fact he had just remembered it himself.

A soldier fumbled for a while, then turned around and handed a badge to Gong Sanpao.

"Near."

Gong Sanpao did not take the sign because he was afraid he would not recognize the words on it.

In order to learn to read and write, he had been whipped several times by Hu Jincai.

Gong Sanpao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is a rough guy all the way through the underworld.

Since joining the Qingshui Army, he was noticed by Hu Jincai for his superb skills and became his personal bodyguard.

He has been doing very well.

Until an order came down from above requiring everyone to read and write.

This made Gong Sanpao very troubled. Whenever he saw those crooked things, he would get a headache and feel dizzy.

Later, he developed a new problem: he would start retching within a short time of seeing words.

Even if Hu Jincai beat him to death, he would not be able to recognize a few words.

Hu Jincai was left helpless, but he couldn't just kill him for this.

Even though Gong Sanpao is illiterate, he is really good at martial arts, so we have to just fool around for now.

The soldier immediately looked at the badge and recited it.

"The Great Sect is stationed at the western frontier. This is... General Kong Jin."

Fortunately, this was a soldier with some cultural level.

Gong Sanpao laughed and said, "Damn, this is a big fish. I didn't expect that I'm not so lucky."

"How to deal with it?"

"Take the body back and reward according to merit. Who killed him?"

No one spoke because it was quite chaotic at the time and no one knew who shot Kong Jin with a crossbow.

"Forget it. Since no one claimed it, let's just consider it the collective achievement of our guard team."

At this time, Hu Jincai and Li Donglai were having a great time.

After defeating the border troops, the two Qingshui armies joined forces on the battlefield and began to hunt down the fleeing border troops.

While cleaning up the battlefield, the two men checked the seventy or eighty carriages in the border army.

Seventy-three of the carriages were loaded with food and fodder.

There were also six carriages, which were large box-type vehicles.

When the soldiers opened the carriage, they found it was full of wooden boxes filled with gold, silver and treasures.

Hu and Li were stunned at the time.

That’s a lot of money!

"Fuck! These border troops are always hungry and cold, and I didn't expect they saved so much money."

Li Donglai exclaimed.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with the soldiers. It's all the private property of a few border army bosses."

Hu Jincai sneered.

Li Donglai then chuckled.

"Old Hu, if we send these treasures to the boss, how do you think he will reward us?"

Hu Jincai scratched his head.

"At least he should be given a silver badge."

"That makes sense. I don't dare to ask for too much. Silver level three will be fine."

"Don't let your imagination run wild. The silver third-level badge is worth just as much gold as these. Just do the math. It'll guarantee you a lifetime of prosperity."

"This is called having a reliable source of support in old age. The rest of my life depends on this silver badge."

The two of them huddled together, chattering proudly.

Some soldiers collected the basic battle reports and began to form a report on the entire battlefield.

Hu Jincai woke up and said, "Hurry up, send the cavalry to spread out and search. We can't let those guys escape."

Li Donglai also hurriedly ordered his messengers to tell all the battle teams to disperse and look for several senior generals of the border army.

After receiving the battle report, Lin Feng's face was calm, but he sat still for a long time.

Bai Jing poked him on the back curiously.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"The money's coming in."

"Ah, Zhu Jie is so capable."

Lin Feng handed her the battle report.

Bai Jing took a look and was stunned for a moment.

"My God, these border army generals are so rich!"

After a moment of silence, Bai Jing let out a breath.

"Look at what they have done. This is the blood and sweat of 40,000 border troops."

"Oh, too greedy."

"I'm embarrassed to take this money."

Bai Jing widened her eyes again.

"You want to give it back to them?"

Lin Feng looked determined.

"Of course, I have to pay it back."

Bai Jing put her face in front of Lin Feng's and looked at him carefully.

"Brother, are you sure you are awake?"

Lin Feng waved his hand.

"Go, I'm sober."

Bai Jing was a little anxious.

"But we are short of money now."

Lin Feng chuckled.

"I know, I still have to pay it back, but I have to pay it back in a proper way."

"What other methods are there to repay the money?"

Bai Jing was confused.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "You don't understand, it's very particular."

"Then tell me how to pay me back?"

Lin Feng got a piece of paper and wrote and drew on it.

"I want to set up a few engineering teams first, and organize those young and strong people to work in their spare time after farming."

"Siege team? Which city are you going to attack?"

Bai Jing asked confusedly.

Lin Feng glared at her.

"Excuse me, they're working on construction projects, like building houses and buildings, home renovations, urban water and sewage installation and construction, heating pipes, etc."

Bai Jing became even more confused and looked bewildered.

"What are all these? I know about building a house, but what is decoration? What about water supply and drainage?"

Lin Feng was too lazy to explain in detail.

"You'll know when the time comes. Let's start with us. They do the work, and I pay them to make their lives better."

Without waiting for Bai Jing to ask again, Lin Feng continued.

"It's even easier for those who are still in the military. As long as they can perform meritorious service, I will reward them handsomely."

Bai Jing finally understood Lin Feng's thoughts at this time.

"Tsk, I thought you were really kind enough to give them the money."

Lin Feng said disdainfully.

"Repaying the money directly is not good for them. It will make them lazy and ruin them at a young age."

Bai Jing nodded, as if she understood something.

"Yes, is there any other way?"
