Faced with his mother's questions, Cai Junze did not hide anything. After all, he was a successful man now and had something worth bragging about. Why should he hide it?
So he said, "The caravan we were escorting was ambushed by bandits on the road, and they nearly suffered heavy losses! In the chaos, I resorted to the strategy of 'capturing the leader first!' I snuck up behind the bandit leader, ambushed him, and captured him. Then I used him as a threat to the other bandits, forcing them to stop!"
"While the bandits were at a loss and didn't know what to do, I ordered everyone to seize the opportunity and turn against them!"
"After a chaotic battle, we took advantage of their low morale and defeated them!"
“Naturally, in the end, we won a big victory!”
"They even sent their bandit leader to the government!"
"It can be said that if I hadn't been involved in this attack, the caravan would have suffered heavy losses!"
"Fortunately, I was there to avoid such losses!"
"The caravan was grateful for my contribution and rewarded me tenfold, giving me thirty taels!"
Among so many people, he was the only one who received the huge reward of thirty taels!
The others were rewarded with an additional 500 wen each on top of the original 3 taels!
Listening to what her son said, Liu Shulin's face was full of shock!
"Mom, you don't believe what I say, do you?"
Seeing his mother's shocked and thoughtful expression, Cai Junze wondered if she thought he was bragging. "If you don't believe me, you can ask these friends behind me!"
"They followed me from Jingliu County to participate in this mission and experienced this thrilling experience together! They know everything from beginning to end!"
As he spoke, he turned around, looked at the people behind him, and asked loudly: "Friends, tell me, is what I just said true?"
Those people echoed and shouted: "It's true!"
A man with a wound on his face said, "Auntie, everything your son said is true! If it weren't for him, we would have been doomed in this dangerous situation!"
Others followed suit:
"Yes! Fortunately, Brother Cai was resourceful. Not only did we escape danger, we also turned against these bandits!"
"If it weren't for Brother Cai, it's hard to say whether we could still stand here safely now!"
"In addition, we all received rewards. The original reward of three taels of silver was increased by five hundred wen!"
"This matter is really thanks to Brother Cai! We are extremely grateful to Brother Cai!"
In that incident, Cai Junze not only helped them escape death, but also turned the situation around. In addition, the remuneration they received also increased!
In this case, how can they not be grateful to Cai Junze?
On their return journey from Luocheng County, they clearly followed Cai Junze's lead.
After hearing what everyone said, Liu Shulin naturally had no reason to suspect that her son was bragging.
Moreover, the fact that he was paid thirty taels of silver is also a good proof.
However, what surprised Liu Shulin was——
Compared with the previous life, the result of this matter is the opposite!
Could it be that everything changed because of my son's involvement?
You know, in the previous life, my son didn't participate in this matter...
Afterwards, Liu Shulin followed her son and the group back to Jingliu County.
Along the way, I learned a lot of detailed processes from them.
"Mom, you ride the horse and I'll lead it for you!"
Cai Junze looked flattering.
“No!”
Liu Shulin did not ride a horse, but walked with them.
After returning to the county town, Cai Junze said goodbye to the group and then went with his mother to return the horses.
"Mom, did Liu Shanyao tell you that I was going to participate in this mission?" Cai Junze asked on the way home.
"No." Liu Shulin said.
"Then how did you know?" Cai Junze was surprised.
Liu Shulin glanced at him deeply and said, "I guessed it."
Cai Junze was a little skeptical.
Liu Shulin said, "I could tell Liu Shanyao was hiding something from you, but he wouldn't tell me, despite repeated inquiries, so I stopped asking. Then, I went to the county town and asked around. I learned that a caravan was recruiting. I figured you might have joined the caravan and gone to Luocheng County."
"Since I haven't heard from you in a few days, I wanted to go to Luocheng County to see if you were really there. Unexpectedly, I ran into you on the way."
Thinking about the thrilling incident her son had mentioned before, she couldn't calm down!
This kid is really messing around!
Fortunately, God protects us!
Everything is fine!
She tried her best to suppress the worry and relief in her heart and not show it on her face.
Therefore, from the time they met on the road until now, Cai Junze has never seen a smile on his mother's face.
"Mom, are you blaming me?"
Cai Junze asked cautiously.
Liu Shulin snorted lightly, glared at him, and said, "For a reward of three taels of silver, you're taking such a risk. I say, you've been quite courageous lately!"
You know what, this brat has been getting bolder and bolder lately!
Cai Junze curled his lips and said, "Mom, I'm also trying to earn money to marry a wife. If you don't give me money, then I can only earn it myself."
"So, you blame me?" Liu Shulin looked stern!
"No, no..." Cai Junze immediately shifted his gaze to the side and muttered, "How could I dare..."
Then he looked at the bag hanging around his waist, a smile on his face, and said, "However, I earned thirty taels this time. Adding to my previous savings, I have saved up thirty-nine taels now. I am only twenty-seven taels away from the betrothal gift for marrying Xiao'e. In addition, with other miscellaneous items, I can earn more than thirty taels, which should be enough!"
