Chapter 55: Remuneration

"Holy Maiden, what shall we do next?" Ren Xiaoquan said respectfully standing in front of the Holy Maiden Xiyue.

"Wait!" Saint Xiyue said

"Wait?" Ren Xiaoquan was puzzled.

"Wait! Waiting for reinforcements from the Treasure Elephant Country. The Holy Maiden Xiyue smiled slightly and said, "As soon as the reinforcements from the Treasure Elephant Kingdom arrive, there will be a big battle. Unexpectedly, the first to do it was actually Xichiguo. ”

"Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. Once the secret of the wealth of La Mer is not a secret, where will there be real friends! Ren Xiaoquan said.

"Also, isn't the Treasure Elephant Kingdom also here to break the siege for money, do you think the Treasure Elephant Kingdom will leave easily after the siege is lifted?" Saint Xiyue said.

"Nope! If I were the king of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, I would definitely take advantage of the fire to rob it! Ren Xiaoquan said.

"That's right! The Treasure Elephant Country will not go. If the Treasure Elephant Kingdom successfully relieves the siege of the Sea Blue City, it is bound to open his mouth, but Nalambolin will not easily agree, and it is inevitable to turn his face! When the time comes, the Baoxiang Kingdom and the Haiyuan Kingdom will go to war, and the Xichi Kingdom, the South and North Yue Kingdoms will come back again, and then it will be a melee! Once they've breached La Mer, we'll move on to the next move! The Holy Maiden Xiyue said.

Wen Bufan, who was sleeping, felt a little itchy in his nose, sneezed, and opened his eyes to take a look. Bao Mei was touching her face and said, "You sprayed someone's face." As he spoke, he went out and washed his face.

Wen Bufan looked at Baomei's back, he actually thought about it so early today?

After a while, Bao Mei walked back and said, "I went out early this morning, guess what I saw?" ”

"What do you see?" Wen Bufan asked.

"I'm on the wall!" Bao Mei said excitedly: "I saw a lot of elephants outside, fighting there!" ”

"Reinforcements from the Treasure Elephant Kingdom have arrived?" Wen Bufan asked.

Bao Mei nodded.

"Let's go, let's see." Wen Bufan got up and got dressed, and after washing, he went out with Baomei.

There were a lot of people on the city walls, most of them coming to see the elephants. However, at this time, the smoke was billowing outside the city, and it was not very real.

Outside the city, the warriors of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom and the besieging army fought hotly, but the defenders of the Haiyuan Kingdom had no intention of leaving the city, and they all stood on the city wall and watched the excitement. Even Nalamblin came to the city wall and watched the battle outside the city from afar!

The warriors of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom are really powerful, and they scattered the coalition forces outside the Sea Blue City!

Just as the warriors of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom gathered together and were about to enter the city, a man suddenly came to Nalambolin and handed him a piece of paper. When Nalambolin opened it, his face immediately changed.

When Wen Bufan saw it, he whispered to Baomei: "Things have changed!" ”

Sure enough, after Nalambolin put the note away, he said a few words to the guards beside him. The guard immediately ran to the gates: "The king commands, do not open the gates!" ”

The warriors of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom outside the city waited for a long time and no one came to open the city gate, so they shouted loudly under the city wall: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

"I don't know which general of the Treasure Elephant Country is outside the city?" One of Nalambolin's guards asked, poking his head out of the wall.

The general who led the troops of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom said loudly: "Damon of the Treasure Elephant Country! ”

"Oh, it's General Damon! Our king said that the Baoxiang Kingdom should go to the city to rest for the relief of this crisis for our Haiyuan Kingdom. However, many of the people in the city had never seen elephants, so they were afraid of causing panic, so they asked General Damon to camp outside the city. Later, our king will send someone to comfort him! The chamberlain said loudly.

Damon thought about it, but didn't say anything, and left the city with the warriors of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, and camped five miles outside the city gate to wait for the comfort of Haiyuan Kingdom.

Nalan Bolin didn't let Damon wait long, and soon after, Hai Yuanguo sent a condolence team represented by Da Sima to Damon's camp, and the condolences to Damon's army were greeted with good wine and food.

Damon also immediately feasted the great Sima of Haiyuan Kingdom. At the banquet, the two sides had a cordial exchange, praised each other, and then there were all kinds of politeness.

Damon finally couldn't help but ask, "I wonder when the three-year tax promised by your country will be fulfilled?" ”

"Don't rush, let's drink first!" Da Sima raised his wine glass and said to Damon: "General Damon, please!" ”

Damon had no choice but to raise his glass and drink with Da Sima.

At the banquet, Da Sima didn't say anything about the honorarium, and Damon finally couldn't help but ask again: "Lord Sima, this wine is almost drunk, and I ask your country to fulfill its promise as soon as possible, and I will go back as soon as possible." ”

Da Sima also heard the unkindness in Damon's tone, and said with a smile: "General Damon is a person who is anxious, and he promised something." Naturally, our country will not go back. General Damon sat down. I'll come when I go! ”

After Da Sima finished speaking, he left the camp tent and said a few words to a fellow guard outside. Damon naturally couldn't sit still, and also came outside the tent.

The guard trotted back to the Blue City, and after a while, a convoy slowly approached.

When Damon saw it, his face was full of smiles, and he said to Da Sima: "It's cold outside, Da Sima still goes back to the camp with me to drink!" After speaking, he smiled and led Da Sima back to the camp.

The two of them sat down again and began to push and change the cups again.

Not long after the wine was drunk, a soldier from the Treasure Elephant Kingdom walked into the big tent and whispered a few words in Damon's ear.

After hearing this, Damon looked at the soldier with inquiring eyes, and after receiving an affirmative answer again, Damon looked at Da Sima again and asked, "Master Sima, when will the reward come after this?" ”

Da Sima was stunned for a moment and said, "The remuneration has been fully delivered, why did General Damon say this?" ”

"All delivered? No way. That's a bit wrong. Damon looked at Da Sima, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for your country to go back on its word like this, right?" ”

"General Damon's words are wrong! That's all there is to my country's three-month tax, and it's all been paid! How can you go back on your word! Da Sima did not back down.

"I'm afraid that's only a month's worth of taxes at most, right?" Damon squinted at Da Sima.

"What does General Damon mean by wanting three of them?" Da Sima said.

"We fight to the death for you! Shouldn't you be rewarded as you deserve? Damon said.

"This, I can't be the master, I have to go back and ask our king, and ask General Damon to be calm for a while, and I will truthfully show the king your country's help. I will do my best to mediate on this matter and strive to give the general a satisfactory answer! Da Sima said politely.

Seeing that Da Sima was so polite, Damon was very happy! It seems that this big Sima was not frightened, and with a slight start, he agreed to go back and ask for money. So Damon immediately said: "There is still Lao Da Sima in this matter!" ”
