When Tu Hai caught up, he heard that they were going to divide the spoils.
How is that possible?
If these people included his things, he would lose no matter how he divided it!
Seeing him coming, Zhonglizhou raised his eyebrows: "Who are you?"
If his cousin hadn't spoken just now, he wouldn't have even thought about dividing the spoils.
This is the spoils of their Gale Squad, why should they share it with others?
When going out to fight, whoever grabs the first thing gets it.
Tu Hai didn't dare to be arrogant. When he heard the young master in front of him ask him, he immediately replied respectfully: "I am Tu Hai, the young master of the Hengtong Escort Agency in Xizhou Prefecture!"
"This time, I encountered these robbers when I was returning to Xizhou from Tongzhou City with food and slaves. They stole my goods, so I chased them and wanted to get my things back."
Zhong Lizhou smiled. "Since your things were stolen, it means you're not capable enough. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't be alive right now. You saw what weapons those people had. What qualifications do you have to bargain with me?"
This obviously means no points will be given.
How could Ji Changying be willing to do that? She looked at the unruly young man in front of her and said, "I could have killed those people even without you. I dealt with most of those people with crossbows. My clansmen and I both contributed a lot. No one can touch our share!"
The lieutenant general behind Zhonglizhou looked at her with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. He wanted to take a step forward and speak, but Zhonglizhou held him back with his hand.
He laughed and clapped his hands: "What ambition!"
Xie Siheng glanced at the tense atmosphere between the three of them and said calmly: "Let's go and take a look at the things first."
Zhonglizhou's overwhelming aura subsided, and with a playful smile he chased after him and looked inside the cave: "Tsk, this place looks like a rat hole."
The members of the Gale Squad saw them coming and clasped their fists towards Zhongli Zhou. "Sir, there are a total of 360 people here, including the kiln head. They are all here."
Zhongli Zhou looked at the people standing in front of him. Their limbs were as thin as wooden sticks stuck on the ground. In such cold weather, they stood barefoot on the ground, with their backs bent and their heads lowered, not daring to look at anyone.
Seeing them, Zhongli Zhou's expression changed: "Raise your head."
There was a brief commotion among the people. Some of them looked up quietly and then quickly lowered their heads again. Some of them stood there without moving.
"If you are a human being, raise your head!"
Zhongli Zhou couldn't help but raise his voice a little.
Hearing this voice, they lowered their heads even lower.
Xie Siheng looked at those people and spoke softly, "All the guards who imprisoned you must be killed. We are here to destroy this place."
Now, all those who had been lowering their heads couldn't help but raise their heads, and asked fearfully, "Are those people dead?"
Xie Siheng smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Seeing the light shining again on those numb faces, Zhonglizhou took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you two choices now. One, come with me to Liangzhou and start a new life. We have a lot of land and few people there. As long as we work hard and plant more crops, we can have enough to eat."
"Second, enter the military camp and fight the enemy!"
Those people started to discuss with a buzzing voice, a little overwhelmed.
Zhongli Zhou stopped looking at them and said, "We are short of people in Liangzhou. Take these people away and take them back. After a while, they will become the good men of Liangzhou."
"Where are the goods these bandits looted?"
Anyway, these miners can't escape, so Zhonglizhou is not in a hurry.
Their subordinates took them to see what the bandits had stolen, and they were really surprised.
It didn't look like a very big mine, but inside it was a mine cave filled with looted gold, silver, treasures, medicinal herbs, grain and cloth.
All the things were transported to the large platform outside the mine, and everyone was there.
"It's not too much for us to split 20% based on how much effort we put in, right?" Ji Changying stood next to those things, looking at Zhong Lizhou without any hesitation, without a hint of concession in her eyes.
When the Ji family heard this, they all straightened their chests and said, "Yes, we also contributed a lot!"
The lieutenant general behind Zhong Lizhou frowned, "Whoever gets it owns it. I've never seen anyone give away spoils. Without us, you don't know how many people would have died by now!"
Zhonglizhou smiled and said, "I can give in for my cousin's sake. Ten percent."
Ji Changying placed her hand on the delivery cart and pried off the baffle next to it with force: "Twenty percent. Even a cent less will not do."
Zhou slammed the hammer down on the ground. "I've never seen anyone give away their spoils. They're all ours."
Zhongli Zhou laughed angrily. Why are each of them more arrogant than the other?
But he had just seen this mother and daughter, and they were indeed quite skilled.
I originally wanted to recruit him, but now it seems that he has a bad temper and I have to try harder.
Before Zhong Lizhou could say anything, the lieutenant general behind him could no longer bear it and drew his sword, pointing it at Zhou: "You are so arrogant! Don't think that I won't hit you just because you are a woman and have more strength. On the battlefield, men, women, young and old are all the same!"
When Ji's people heard what the lieutenant general said, they looked indignant.
Ji Fengshou stood beside Zhou: "It's amazing that you've been on the battlefield, but I've never seen a warrior fight with a sword! What kind of man are you to draw your sword on a woman?"
Ji Changying attacked as soon as he said he would, and stepped forward to break the lieutenant general's arm, but he dodged it with his quick reaction.
The two started fighting here. Zhongli Zhou did not call for a stop, but watched Ji Changying's moves with interest.
Xie Siheng asked Jin Yuanbao to bring a stool and sat down slowly.
Zhongli Zhou looked at him in surprise: "Aren't you worried?"
"Why worry about something where you know the outcome without even having to see it? This person can't beat her."
Zhong Lizhou didn't expect to hear such high praise from Xie Siheng. He couldn't help but frown: "What do you mean? My lieutenant general can't beat her?"
Xie Siheng just smiled and said nothing.
Almost as soon as Zhonglizhou finished speaking, Ji Changying had already disarmed the lieutenant general and kicked the sword out of his hand. "Since you've fought in battle before, I won't take your weapon and humiliate you. But if you dare to point a sword at my parents again, I will make you regret living in this world."
Ji Fengshou, the old father, was so moved that he was confused. Only Zhou looked as if it was a matter of course: "You can't even beat my daughter, and you still have the nerve to call her a trophy."
The lieutenant general's face turned red.
Everyone in the Gale Team was shocked. Their leader was beaten like that?
Or by a little girl?
Zhongli Zhou didn't expect the results to come out so soon.
After thinking about it for a while, he asked someone to help the lieutenant general up: "Okay, I'll give you 20%!"
The lieutenant general calmly put his dislocated arm on the other arm and said, "I lose! My share belongs to you!"
