Outside, after General Hou went out of the tent, he casually walked around. He didn’t know how far he had walked, and suddenly heard a voice in front of him.
When he stepped forward, he just heard Wang Da say, “Sir Ji, I really have to thank you. If you hadn’t interceded for us and even paid the silver, I’m afraid my brother and I would have been beaten to death and couldn’t get up.”
“It’s nothing. You two are kind to me, the silver is nothing.”
Wang Er’s face was uneasy, “But you just said, it’s 5 taels for one person. That’s a lot of money, even if we brothers sell ourselves, we wouldn’t get that much. Sir, you just became the bookkeeper, where did you get all that money?”
Ji Changze looked righteous and full of benevolence, “Money is not important, the important thing is that you are fine.”
The two were, even more, moved, “Thank you, Sir. Eh… I don’t understand the General’s way of thinking. We are all adults, isn’t drinking normally? Why do you need to beat someone for a jar of wine? “
“The General is thinking and acting for your sake, but don’t say such a thing.” Ji Changze waved his hand with righteous words.
Both of them nodded, “Yes, as we know, the General is indeed a good man, but sir, you’re really loyal to the General. My lord, don’t worry, today you help us in paying the silver, you are loyal to the general, we will also follow you to follow the General!!!”
“For your sake, Sir. the two of us will definitely be more loyal in the future!!”
Loyalty to him is loyal to him, but why should it be for Sir Ji too?
He was the one who paid the money!!!
Ji Changze nodded, “I know that you two have always admired the Generals, so just do a good job in the future.”
Then, he took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to them. His words were gentle and his attitude was sincere, “This is the money to make up for the wine you bought, don’t do this kind of thing again in the future. The friendship between us, even if we don’t engage in these tricks, it’s still there.”
The two men became even more grateful and looked at Ji Changze with eyes that looked like they couldn’t wait to serve him as if he were an ancestor.
Not only did he help them pay for it, but now he’s giving them the money for the wine as well.
They refuse, Ji Changze insisted. They refuse again, Ji Changze still insisted.
In the end, the two men had to accept the broken silver and left after thanking him repeatedly.
Ji Changze waited until they were far away before he shook his sleeves and walking slowly and methodically towards General Hou.
Seeing General Hou looking at himself, he smiled without the slightest surprise, “General, such a coincidence.”
General Hou saw him continue to walk forward after greeting, without the intention of stopping, and indignantly chased after him, “That money is clearly out of my pocket, why didn’t you tell them?!”
Ji Changze seemed to be walking slowly, but the speed was quite fast. General Hou could only take strides behind him and watch this seemingly unconventional gentleman speak lightly.
“They already admire you General, that’s why I did this.”
General Hou: “What is the reason?!”
“They already admire you, General. If I tell them that this silver is from the General, they will only admire you more.”
Ji Changze casually plucked a branch, stopped to look at the wood, while seeing General Hou who hastened to brake sharply as he stopped, “But if they think I gave the silver, it would be very different.”
“If the General gave silver, they will only admire the General more. If I give silver, they will appreciate me, will also admire the General.”
“In that case, which does the General think is more cost-effective to tell them?”
General Hou hesitated for a moment and said, “You give it?”
Ji Changze nodded and walked on with a branch, “It’s good that the General understands. As soon as the money is given, both of them admire the General and are grateful to me. This money has helped you to play the best role. I don’t want any reward, just thankful in your heart is okay.”
These words had just landed, but the person had already walked far away.
Only General Hou stood there, feeling that something was wrong.
He twisted his eyebrows, thinking for a long while. Then he clapped his hand and reacted!
That silver was given by him. Even if they admired him before, admiration is admiration, gratitude is gratitude, how can they not be grateful because they admire him already?
This Sir Ji clearly took his silver to make his own merit in their eyes.
He had to thank him in return??
He felt he had found a loophole, and quickly strode after him. He just didn’t know why, he was obviously a martial artist, but he wasn’t as fast as Ji Changze, who was just walking normally.
When he got back to the tent, he saw Ji Changze holding a drawing and talking to the Military Advisor.
General Hou quickly stepped forward, “Sir Ji, what you said just now is wrong, you …”
The Military Advisor held the drawings and was discussing with Ji Changze with a happy face when he was suddenly interrupted and looked up. He was about to tell his cousin to wait for a while.
Ji Changze waved his hand, “Don’t worry, it won’t take long.”
General Hou was able to quickly say what he had just thought of.
He rambled on, then finished, and Ji Changze listened quietly.
Then he asked, “Why does the General think so? I am under the General’s authority, and if they are grateful to me, are they not also grateful to the General? The General’s status is high, and they can’t easily get along with you. This gratitude comes to me, isn’t it more convenient than to the General?”
He just sorted out his thoughts and was gradually lost in thought again.
Seeing this, Ji Changze told the Military Advisor; “Well, I’m afraid the General will have to think for a while, let’s continue to look at the maps.”
The Military Advisor nodded, then threw out a sentence, “General, you can also think about why you gave this military order for the lives of soldiers, but they weren’t grateful, but rejected it.”
His brain began to smolder.
The Military Advisor turned to Ji Changze and said, “Let him think longer.”
