Chapter 202: Do you want a wife?

~7 min read 1,379 words

Before Jiang Jinshi came, no one told him Panjiang City was this big!

Just looking at the height and length of the city wall, he knew it wasn't on the same level as Jiangcheng.

No wonder Luo Feng asked him for instructions before! He thought Luo Feng was too timid; who knew he had the guts of a bear and a leopard.

Just as Jiang Jinshi was pondering, Luo Feng finally arrived.

"Big Brother!"

Jiang Jinshi came back to his senses, pretending to be indifferent. "Luo Feng, how is Yangguangzhai during the time I was away?"

Luo Feng smiled awkwardly. He wanted to catch up with Big Brother, but he didn't expect him to ask such a fatal question right away. It seemed he had to confess to Big Brother first.

Thinking of this, Luo Feng took a deep breath and said apologetically to Jiang Jinshi: "Sorry, Big Brother, I failed your expectations."

"How so?" Jiang Jinshi's tone was flat, but in reality, he was already thinking about what mistake Luo Feng had made.

However, just based on the fact that Luo Feng could take down such a large city, he would cover for him even if he made a mistake, not to mention that he had once said himself that he would hold up the sky if it fell.

"It's just... the casualties in attacking Panjiang City were a bit high..."

Luo Feng spoke cautiously, preparing to face Big Brother's rage.

Jiang Jinshi, upon hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was some big deal!

After all, he could see the number of people in Yangguangzhai in his system, and the casualties weren't that high!

"How many brothers were lost?"

"Eight hundred!"

"How many enemy troops?"

"Four thousand!"

Jiang Jinshi turned his head mechanically to look at Luo Feng.

So...

Is this kid here to ask for credit?

Luo Feng didn't dare to look directly into Jiang Jinshi's eyes, fearing to see disappointment in them; that was the most unacceptable thing for Luo Feng.

So neither of them spoke. Jiang Jinshi was thinking about what reward to give Luo Feng, while Luo Feng was waiting for Jiang Jinshi's scolding.

Unable to think of what to give Luo Feng for the time being, Jiang Jinshi could only lift his feet and walk into the city, saying as he walked.

"Tell me the details of the siege!"

Luo Feng followed behind Jiang Jinshi and told all the details of how he designed the siege. When speaking, he didn't exaggerate his own credit, nor did he belittle other squad leaders.

"Luo Feng, you haven't read military books before, have you?" Jiang Jinshi asked curiously, because these siege methods were quite good.

"No, although I know some characters, how could ordinary people read military books?" Luo Feng shook his head, with quite a bit of regret.

Military books, like those ancient classics, were firmly grasped in the hands of the nobility or the scholar-gentry. Ordinary people indeed had no chance to read them even if they wanted to.

Then Jiang Jinshi realized that the soul of the military general also played a role in this.

Jiang Jinshi had always been wondering that the command ability and troop arrangement in the soul of the military general hadn't been highlighted, only the martial arts aspect was relatively obvious.

Now it seemed that he had managed too much before, leaving them no room to play. It seemed he had to let them perform more in the future.

Of course, Jiang Jinshi wouldn't admit that he was lazy; he definitely wanted to give the brothers below more opportunities to exercise.

"Not bad! You handled this matter very well. Have the compensation silver for the brothers been counted?"

Jiang Jinshi couldn't help but praise Luo Feng, but the subsequent matters had to be arranged well. He couldn't let the brothers sacrifice in vain, lest everyone feel cold-hearted.

"It has been counted, just waiting for you, Great Master!"

Luo Feng naturally wouldn't forget the brothers who died in battle, but this matter still required Jiang Jinshi's personal consent. After all, he didn't have silver in his hands.

"Good! You supervise this matter yourself to ensure that the families receive the compensation silver. I absolutely do not allow any embezzlement of compensation silver."

Jiang Jinshi's expression was very serious when he said this. He knew that the structure of Yangguangzhai was still relatively simple now, and such a situation certainly wouldn't happen for the time being, but the rules had to be set in advance, lest someone develop strange thoughts as time went on.

"Yes!"

Luo Feng's attitude toward this matter was naturally the same. How could he let the brothers bleed and cry?!

"Tell me! What reward do you want?" Jiang Jinshi was very generous. Reward those with merit and punish those with faults; only then could everyone be convinced.

"There's still a reward?"

Luo Feng was very surprised. He thought he had messed up, and it would be good enough not to be scolded; he never thought there would be a reward.

Jiang Jinshi was caught between laughter and tears. "Taking down a city with 4,000 garrison troops with 5,000 people, and only losing 800 people—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a great victory, so naturally there is a reward."

Only then did Luo Feng's heart, which had been hanging, finally let go. "I don't want any reward; it's all for Yangguangzhai!"

In fact, Jiang Jinshi really couldn't find anything to reward him with. If he were an emperor, he could reward him with some titles or promote him.

But unfortunately, he was a rebel leader, so don't even think about titles. As for official positions, Luo Feng was already considered the highest, and there was no room for promotion for the time being.

In this way, it seemed that only gold and silver could be used as rewards.

"Do you want some silver?" Jiang Jinshi asked tentatively.

Luo Feng shook his head repeatedly to refuse. "Big Brother, I really don't want any reward! Besides, my monthly pay is the highest among the brothers; I have no worries about food and drink, and silver is useless."

Jiang Jinshi felt that made some sense. Thinking about Luo Feng's age, perhaps he would want to start a family more?

"Old Luo, do you want a wife? As long as you open your golden mouth..."

Who would have thought that Luo Feng would refuse even more decisively upon hearing this. "My ambition doesn't lie there; let's not do that!"

Of course, Luo Feng didn't say what was in his heart. He was going to follow Big Brother to conquer the world; how could he be tied down by the love of children!

But this really stumped Jiang Jinshi. Why didn't Luo Feng want anything?

But he couldn't not reward merit. After all, he had to set some examples for the brothers below so that everyone could work harder in the future.

Suddenly, Jiang Jinshi had a flash of inspiration. Didn't he still have an SSR military general soul in his system?

It's just that he didn't know if Luo Feng could fuse again after fusing with a military general soul.

Moreover, this Huo Qubing was a famous commander who once said, "How can I have a home before the Xiongnu are destroyed?" which was similar to Luo Feng's current thoughts.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinshi prepared to give it a try. Anyway, Luo Feng was considered a commander for now, and he would definitely be able to use this military general soul.

"Cough, cough! Since you don't want any of these, Luo Feng, I'll give you something good!" After some psychological counseling, Jiang Jinshi prepared to start fooling Luo Feng.

Luo Feng didn't expect the Great Master to be so insistent. Although he wanted to refuse, it was truly hard to decline such kindness.

"I don't know what the good thing Big Brother is talking about is..."

"Divine power!" Jiang Jinshi lowered his voice, appearing mysterious.

Luo Feng was confused. Didn't he already have divine power?

Jiang Jinshi knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Luo Feng like this, and immediately added: "Divine power can go even further!" ===== CHAPTER 203 =====
