Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 251 Silver Notes and Gold

During the time we were stationed in the wartime base camp in the East Territory, small battles continued to occur.

During their explorations, the armies of the Eastern Territory would often run into scouts from the Western Territory, and the two sides would then engage in skirmishes, but the losses on both sides were not heavy and were within an acceptable range.

After all, both sides knew what was going on and were gathering their strength in preparation for action.

It was just that some countries in the East sent troops to join the war, and they were often ambushed by the Western Army on their way to their base camp.

Therefore, Han Ruize and Shao Liran have been leading their troops outside most of the time recently to support the allied forces from various countries on the road to prevent them from suffering heavy casualties.

So when Pei Nai was drawing a battle map in the big tent in the camp that day, Han Ruize suddenly opened the curtain and came in. She was a little unresponsive for a moment.

"Eh? Didn't you go out today?" Pei Nai raised his eyes and asked in surprise.

Han Ruize was not wearing armor today, only military uniform and plain clothes, and strode towards her, "Well, most of the allied forces have arrived, and the troops of Gongyang Zisheng and Qilu have just arrived and are being settled."

There were only two of them in the big tent.

Han Ruize walked to her side, looked down at the battle map she drew, and said with a smile: "Not bad, you have made progress."

"That's for sure. He is so gifted." Pei Nai focused on the picture and drew two more strokes carefully.

Han Ruize handed her a banknote and reminded her: "Here, it's for you."

Pei Nai's attention was drawn to him. He put down the pen in his hand, took the silver note he gave him, and looked at it carefully. He saw that the amount of silver marked on the note was six hundred and fifty taels.

It was the money that Pei Nai asked Han Ruize to compensate him for after he was injured as a joke when they were in the secret territory of Lu State.

It even included the fifty taels she extorted in the end.

"Wow!" Pei Nai exclaimed, looking up at him, "I made money!"

Han Ruize looked down at her and couldn't help laughing, "Well, you made money!"

She held the banknote, folded it lightly, and happily put it in her arms. Suddenly, she remembered something, "Oh, I almost forgot about that."

"What?" Han Ruize continued her words and asked.

"Wait for me, I'll come to find you later." Pei Nai said this and ran out of the tent impatiently.

Han Ruize looked at her hurried back, chuckled, and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing that she had left, Han Ruize shifted his gaze to the diagram on the table. He picked up her pen, bent down and helped her complete the missing parts of the battle map.

Pei Nai ran to Daxian's tent in a flash.

She greeted at the door.

Perhaps it was because Da Xian had instructed his guards in advance, or perhaps it was because of Yu Huan, his guards did not stop him and directly lifted the curtain to let her in.

Da Xi'an was talking to his subordinates inside. He turned around and saw her coming in. Surprise appeared in his eyes, "Mingzhi, why are you here?"

His two subordinates also saluted Pei Nai, spoke briefly to Da Xian, and then retreated.

"Sit here," Da Xi'an stood up to greet her, and went to the other side of the tent to get the tea set, "What kind of tea would you like to drink, Mingzhi? I'll make it."

Even when making tea for Pei Nai, he didn't want to use other people to do it.

"All are fine! Please recommend one to me." Pei Nai sat opposite him, without any politeness or awkwardness.

Daxian quickly prepared tea set for her and brewed tea on the stove.

The sweet aroma of tea gradually spreads.

He sat down in a good mood, looked at her quietly, and asked, "Has Mingzhi had breakfast?"

He did not ask why Pei Nai came to visit.

It was as if he was telling her that even if nothing happened, she could still come to him at any time.

"I've eaten." Pei Nai faced him and smiled maliciously, "Let me tell you the story of Elder Zhong."

Da Xian seemed to have guessed her purpose and was happy with her smile. "Well, go ahead and tell me. I want to listen." Pei Nai then slowly told the story of Senior Zhong.

During this time, Da Xian asked some questions from time to time, responded to her words promptly, and added tea for her many times to moisten her throat.

Once again, Pei Nai felt that if Daxian had a wife, he would definitely be a good partner.

Finally, Pei Nai finished speaking and concluded, "So, Senior Zhong was not harmed by a woman back then. He just wanted to avenge his sister, and because of his extreme anger, he became possessed, which led to an irreversible tragedy."

Having said this, she winked at Daxian.

Da Xian smiled and said, "So, I owe you two boxes of gold?"

Pei Nai nodded immediately.

This was the bet they made while camping outside Shanyin Sect, while they were barbecuing and eating.

At that time, Pei Nai complained, "Isn't the Dingguang Compassion Palm of the Zhongchuan Divine Monk too difficult? If the hatred is overwhelming, how can it be easily let go?"

After hearing this, Da Xian continued while grilling fish: "It's another story of love and hatred that has been forgotten. I bet two boxes of gold that he was hurt by a woman before he became a monk."

Pei Nai was excited at first and accepted his bet: "I bet! Han Ruize pays!"

It turns out that not only Pei Nai remembered it, Da Xian also remembered it very clearly.

"Wait for me a moment." Daxian stood up, walked outside and said something to the guards.

Then he came back, sat back in his chair, and said to Pei Nai, "They will move in soon. Can you sit with me for a while?"

"You come to fight and bring gold with you?" Pei Nai was surprised.

Da Xi'an smiled and said, "You told Gu Jinheng about Elder Zhong before. I have good hearing and heard it, so I asked them to make preparations early and send it along with the military supplies. I wanted to give you a surprise."

"Ah? Can you often hear me and Gu Jinheng talking?" Pei Nai grasped the key point.

Da Xi'an did not hide it and nodded, "Well, sometimes you speak to him very gently, I envy you very much."

Pei Nai finally reacted, a little confused, "You haven't given up yet?"

"There is no one else, Mingzhi." Da Xian said this, but he was unwilling to explain the reason. "You haven't gotten married yet, so I think I still have a chance. My sister changes partners several times a year, which is normal. As long as you look back, I will be here."

Pei Nai scratched his head, thinking about what he had done that was so evil that Da Xian stopped considering others.

He will be the king of a country in the future and cannot be without offspring, so what should he do?
But she didn't have time to worry about it for long, because there was a sound at the door and Qi Lu's guards brought in two boxes of gold on a cart.

They opened the lids and found two large boxes of gold inside, so bright that it was dazzling.

Pei Nai exclaimed "Wow" and was very happy.

Da Xi'an was amused by her. "As the successor of the Pei family, you are so excited when you see gold. What are you so excited about?"

"I've certainly never seen it. I've never managed money before." Pei Nai's eyes fell on the gold, refusing to move away.

Da Xi'an then continued, "Would you like to come to Qilu and take charge of the imperial palace? You can take care of the treasury. My father and mother will go to the seaside villa in the south to recuperate. You don't have to worry about conflicts and disputes in the palace. You will only be the mistress of the harem."

He even called the palace's internal affairs "zhongkui", as if as long as Pei Nai was willing to go there, that place would be a home.

Daxian is full of sincerity.

Pei Nai still said cruelly: "I don't want to, I am afraid of trouble, and I can't figure out the accounts, so before, it was Gu Jinheng and the housekeeper's money in the Guan Mansion, and the Pei family's property was also managed by the special person left by my father and Uncle Guo. I didn't even know it."

"That's okay. If you don't want to take care of these things, you can hand them over to the chief steward of internal affairs. I can also handle it. But don't reject me just because you think the royal family is too complicated?" Da Xian fought for himself again.

Pei Nai was unwilling to accept it and interrupted the conversation, "I moved the gold first!"

She was about to leave pushing a cart full of gold, and her back showed that she was fleeing.

The Qilu guards were afraid that she would get tired, so they didn't dare let her push the cart alone, and hurriedly chased after her, ready to help her carry the cart back.

Da Xian, who was used to being rejected, was left alone, pouting.
