Chapter 557: Unable to identify people
Because Zhou Xu gave the requirement of "taking office immediately", Li Ce and Soros, who were appointed, did not dare to dawdle and quickly retreated to make preparations before departure.
In the blink of an eye, apart from a few attendants, the only people left in the temple were Zhou Chongshan and Zhuo Ge who were still waiting to be conferred titles.
After rewarding the lizardmen, Zhou Xu would certainly not treat Zhou Chongshan and the others unfairly.
"Zhou Chongshan has made great contributions in killing the enemy in this battle. He will be rewarded with 2,000 coins and a war horse."
Zhou Chongshan killed quite a few enemies this time. Although he did not kill any generals, he deserved the reward based on the number of enemies he killed alone.
In terms of military rank, Zhou Chongshan is already a captain, and they are not considered the main force in this wave. Naturally, Zhou Xu would not easily raise his rank, so he simply awarded him something else.
Zhou Chongshan was not too upset about the monetary rewards he received. After all, he had made great achievements in almost every battle, and the monetary rewards he received were so much that he could not use them all in his daily life.
Compared to money, he was more excited after hearing that their king rewarded him with a war horse.
You have to know that although generals like him are equipped with war horses in the army, they are actually public property. You have no right to use them except for training, fighting and carrying out missions.
Under this premise, within their Great Zhou, not to mention war horses, even the inferior horses that have been screened out and used to pull carts are not to be traded, and all of them belong to their king.
So up to now, there is no privately owned horse.
Zhou Chongshan never thought that their king would actually reward him with a war horse! He was the first to do so! Zhou Chongshan was also a horse lover, so this reward was just what he wanted.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel happy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"
In response, Zhou Xu chuckled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Drogo and Diack, who looked expectant.
"Drogo and Diak, you two have both made great contributions in killing the enemy. I will reward you with two thousand coins and a set of armor each!"
Obviously, Zhou Xu knew what they wanted a long time ago.
Sure enough, after hearing the reward, they both smiled happily.
"Thank you, my king!"
After saying this, Drogo seemed to have remembered something and quickly added another sentence.
"At the same time, thank you for your blessing, Your Majesty."
[Blessing...]
Zhou Xu was stunned when he heard this word. He didn't expect Drogo to suddenly say this.
Although the incident happened suddenly, Zhou Xu's mind was quick after all. In just a blink of an eye, he realized that what Drogo was talking about might be related to his talent, 'Evolved Leader'.
But as for his own talents, Zhou Xu himself often couldn't figure out what exactly he had strengthened. Under this premise, it was obviously not convenient to ask directly, so he simply thought of a set of excuses and asked indirectly.
Zhuogo is a straightforward person. Sometimes his mind can be flexible, but not very fast, and Zhou Xu soon tricked him into talking.
[I see, his physical strength has been enhanced. Judging from this, the enhancement item of the Dragon Lord must have taken effect.]
Zhou Xu thought for a moment and soon realized that he might have become a "transit station".
But he didn't care, and if you really think about it, this was actually a good thing.
At this moment, various thoughts and ideas kept running through his mind, but on the surface, he acted as if "everything was under control", which made his subordinates in front of him respect him even more.
"I will research more blessings in the future. If you sense them, please give me feedback in time so that I can collect feedback and conduct follow-up research better."
In order to facilitate understanding of the effects of his talent in the future, Zhou Xu made up a random reason. Zhou Chongshan and Zhuo Ge did not show any doubt about it.
This way, it would be much easier for him to ask related questions in the future.
After briefly explaining this matter, Zhou Xu asked Zhou Chongshan, Zhuo Ge and the others to go down and rest.
As soon as Zhou Chongshan and his companions left, a figure staggered into the temple.
"My lord, my lord, I miss you so much!!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Zhou Xu shrank his neck with a look of disgust.
"What's the point of singing this?"
The person who came was none other than the military supervisor Wang Pengfei, who had seized the opportunity, clung to Zhou Chongshan's thigh, and was determined to follow them back even if he died.
Seeing the other person's disheveled appearance and tears and snot, Zhou Xu quickly raised his hand to signal him to stop.
Seeing this, Wang Pengfei knelt down obediently with a look of grievance on his face.
Ignoring the other party's expression, Zhou Xu cast his eyes on a document in his hand. While reading the contents of the document, he casually asked about what was assigned to him.
"Before we set off, how are you doing with the things I asked you to do?"
Hearing this question, Wang Pengfei's body suddenly stiffened.
"Um, that's okay..."
This tone was filled with an indescribable sense of guilt.
Hearing this, Zhou Xu asked back without even blinking.
"What do you mean, okay?"
“…”
Wang Pengfei fell silent.
Zhou Xu seemed not to notice his change. Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, he took the initiative to ask questions.
"Tell me, what did you observe on the battlefield on the southern border?"
"I've observed that the ratmen seem to have suffered heavy casualties. I think we should take the initiative to attack at this time..."
Wang Pengfei's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, and by the end it was basically no different from the buzz of a mosquito.
Zhou Xu secretly shook his head in his heart. Not to mention the casualties on the rat people's side, they were the ones who really had to rest.
However, he didn't intend to discuss this with Wang Pengfei now. Instead, he raised his head and looked at him deeply.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Zhou Xu's look made Wang Pengfei feel uneasy and his legs trembled with nervousness.
“No, no more.”
Zhou Xu nodded.
"Okay, go down. From today on, you will be responsible for the sanitation of the temple."
After saying that, Zhou Xu stopped paying attention to Wang Pengfei and turned his attention back to the documents in front of him.
After hearing these words, Wang Pengfei felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly "took his leave".
Glancing at Wang Pengfei's back, Zhou Xu sighed in his heart.
As a fellow time traveler, he originally wanted to give Wang Pengfei a hand, hoping that he could change and improve, but unfortunately, people who are not capable of doing this just can't do it.
Zhou Chongshan had already sent him a report. Every time Wang Peng flew there, he was so scared that he didn't dare to show his head and stayed in his tent every time a battle broke out.
In other words, he didn't do anything I asked him to do.
But when asked about this just now, his first reaction was to evade responsibility by lying.
During this process, because he was too nervous, he even forgot that Zhou Chongshan might have already reported this possibility to Zhou Xu.
Given his performance, it's not wrong to say that he is "stupid and bad".
He asked Wang Pengfei to clean the house in the future, and Wang Pengfei felt as if he had been pardoned. This showed that he had no ambition at all and just wanted to get by, which really disappointed him.
However, Zhou Xu himself was not a person who would dwell on things, and he quickly let it go.
If you think about it carefully, Wang Pengfei is just an ordinary person whose upper limit of five-dimensional attributes are all two stars. Under this premise, considering that talent which does not have much practical value, he himself is probably not as good as most ordinary people.
I had some expectations for him, but to be honest, it was all his fault for not being able to judge people and use them properly.
