Chu Xue found it amusing, placing a cup of chilled sour plum soup in front of Zong Shou.
"Prince, eat this chilled sour plum soup. It can lower the fire and detoxify the poison. Our monster race can recover after eating this soup when we change our voice. "
Zong Shou was seriously recalling the records about the monster race voice changing.
Unfortunately, the books he read in his last life were either martial path books or talisman technique records. Or maybe some of them were useful for him to play games and understand the ancient secret history of the God Emperor era.
Although he had read some interesting news when he was free, there was nothing related to the monster race voice changing.
He only knew that there was such a thing. As for what the situation was, he didn't know.
At this moment, he saw a bowl of red soup being placed in front of him by Chu Xue. Zong Shou didn't think much about it, drinking it in one mouthful.
His entire face, nose, brows, and even his ears were all scrunched up. What the hell was this? It was just too sour. Even his teeth were about to melt.
When he finally recovered, Zong Shou was speechless. He stared furiously at Chu Xue like he was trying to control her. This was revenge, this had to be revenge! This was a blatant prank! This girl was too narrow-minded. She had only left a few palm prints on her butt. Was there a need to do this?
Chu Xue's lips instinctively curled up. Then, she forcefully restrained herself. She broke the bowl expressionlessly, her voice soft and innocent, "Young Master is blaming me again? This time it wasn't Xue's fault. I already said that it was sour plum soup. You didn't hear it clearly. "
Zong Shou scoffed coldly. Using sign language to speak was too complicated. He wanted to use writing to replace it. Ruoshui passed a stack of beast skin over.
While thinking that Ruoshui's speed was really quick, Zong Shou casually took it and took a look. Following which he froze, totally stunned.
After a short while, Zong Shou came back to his senses, looking at Ruoshui with a questioning gaze.
Only to see Ruoshui frown in confusion, using her finger to point at the pile of beast skin bamboo scrolls, saying confidently, "Young Master, these are the most important!"
Zong Shou's face was bitter, all of a sudden he didn't know what he should say.
… okay, these beast skins were indeed important. However, it was only the leather that was slightly more valuable. It was very precious and rare. In Ruoshui's eyes. So naturally they were very important.
These two girls weren't reliable.
Shaking his head, Zong Shou sighed. He picked up the pile of expensive animal skins and looked at them carefully.
After taking a look, he noticed Ruoshui's actions.
The generals and officials of Gantian Mountain City weren't just trying to save money. If it was an important matter, they would choose a slightly more expensive beast skin to record to gain the attention of the higher-ups.
At this moment, what was placed in front of Zong Shou was a backlog of work. Actually, more than half of it had been dealt with by the people below. He just needed to use it as a human-shaped seal and press a Monster King seal on it.
However, at this moment, the seal that belonged to him wasn't carved, so he could only use a signature to replace it.
However, there were many fresh matters that were reported in front of him.
"… The 2 cities in the northwest have calculated the number of destroyed houses, a total of 24326. Such that hundreds of thousands of people in our city have their homes destroyed and they can only eat and sleep in the open. If this drags on for too long, it might harm the ruler's prestige. Ruler, please allocate 50 thousand grade 3 beast crystals to save the people and rebuild the houses! Minister Ren Bo has submitted a memorial to the emperor, please make a quick decision. "
Zong Shou's brows instantly rose up. He wanted to get some money from the Gantian Mountain treasury to make up for the losses at Ruohai Straits last time. Just like that, there were officials who thought of ways to stretch their hands into his belt. How could he let that happen?
He also didn't know how to run a business. Luckily, he relied on the knowledge of the future to earn some money in Jiefu City. Was it easy for him? In the future, there might not be such a good thing.
Naturally, he wouldn't allow it!
Zong Shou didn't hesitate and wanted to draw a huge cross on it. However, just as the brush landed, he sighed and wrote a word.
… Forget it, 50 thousand grade 3 beast crystals wasn't much, he could afford it. No matter what, he had to pay for those houses.
Following which was the 2nd portion. Following which Zong Shou's brows were totally furrowed.
"I have calculated all the rewards and compensation from 2 days ago, a total of 3.22 million grade 3 beast crystals. This matter can't be delayed. However, between officials, it is best to be clear about Gantian Mountain City matters. The 690 thousand troops in the city are for a private battle and not for a public battle. With the ruler paying, we can win the hearts of the troops … "
Zong Shou's lips were already cramping up. 3.22 million grade 3 beast crystals. This wasn't a small number and was enough to give him a headache.
Grade 3 and grade 4 was a hundred times difference. However, its value was equivalent to 32,200 grade 4 beast crystals, 32 grade 7 beast crystals.
Even now when the value of beast crystals had plummeted, it wasn't a small number.
Looking at the signature at the back, it was Ren Bo.
Who the hell was this guy? Why was he trying to fish money out of his pockets?
Hooking his finger at Chu Xue to let her stand behind him, Zong Shou pointed at the name on the beast skin. This brat didn't understand at first, only when Zong Shou gestured did she understand.
"Prince is talking about prime minister Ren? I know. "
Chu Xue's soft chin nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "The ruler found him a few years ago and said that he was good at management, which was what our Gantian Mountain lacked. Then, he was appointed prime minister. In the past, our Gantian Mountain didn't have such an official position. Speaking of which, you have seen him during the heaven worshipping ceremony. This person is amazing. Since he became the prime minister, this Gantian Mountain has been really busy. Many people from the tribes and cities have traveled thousands of miles to do business here. "
Zong Shou thought about it, but he really didn't have any impression. Anyways, after tomorrow would be his first court assembly. At that time, he would naturally see him, so he didn't think too much about it. He flipped through a few beast skins, instinctively touching the money bag at his waist, his heart turning cold.
This fellow was too vicious when it came to money. What equipment damage, what war horse injuries, what compensation for the dead.
Anyways, he was using different methods to get money from him.
A subject who always reached his hand into the ruler's pocket definitely wasn't a good subject!
In his heart, he marked Renbo as a bad person. Following which, Zong Shou looked at this person's name and pulled it out, casually tossing it to the side and not bothering about it. Anyways, when he saw this person's name, he was annoyed.
"Oh, a day and a half ago, Xuan Mountain City lord Xuanyuan Tong was drinking in the manor. After hearing the report from his subordinate, he laughed out loud, saying that my eyes are really sharp, choosing a good son-in-law for my daughter. Then, his true qi exploded and he stepped into the ascended realm. Keke! So father in law also knows that I, Zong Shou, am an amazing son-in-law. However, ascended realm? That isn't a good time! "
Zong Shou sighed. If Xuanyuan Tong didn't break through to the ascended realm, he could shock a region. After he did, he couldn't help at all. This father-in-law of his was really useless.
He looked at the signature, only to see a line of words written neatly and elegantly – hidden guard commander Ruoshui's report.
"Hidden guard commander Ruoshui?"
Zong Shou was astonished, looking at Ruoshui and pointing at his report.
The latter nodded her head, pointing at her nose, her beautiful eyes filled with a smile.
Zong Shou was speechless. So his sister Ruoshui was not only the commander of the hidden guards to ensure his safety, but she was also in charge of gathering intel.
To be able to stretch her hands into Xuanyuan Tong's house and his father in law didn't know about it. Her ability to use information was really amazing.
Looking at the back, there was finally something that he was interested in.
"Yunxia Mountain city lord Feng Nu, a day ago during the feast, a red swift bird suddenly sent a message. He was immediately enraged. During the banquet, he killed several servants with his bare hands. He said that this kid is good at scheming and will be my enemy in the future! I should kill him soon. Following which, I had a secret meeting with many Yunxia generals and officials and couldn't get the details … "
"… Blazing Flame Mountain city lord Xiong Ba suddenly got drunk yesterday and lost his composure. He first said that since the heavens gave birth to him, why give birth to another Zong Weiran? He also said that giving birth should be like Zong Shou, that Zong Weiran gave birth to a good son, all my sons can't compare to him. After which, he found his daughter Princess Xuan Yu to discuss. Today afternoon, he removed Xiong Kui from his position as prince. He made Princess Xuan Yu the heir … "
Naturally, the signature at the back was also Ruoshui.
Zong Shou smiled as he read, feeling a little gleeful. As expected, he shocked the world with a single brilliant feat. He was also surprised. This Xiong Ba was really bold. He didn't make any of his sons and instead went against tradition to make a girl the heir.
Could it be that this Princess Xuan Yu had something special about her? When he had time in the future, he was going to ask that Xiong Kui.
Speaking of which, since he travelled day and night to rush over to Gantian Mountain, he didn't bother much about him. Who knows what happened to him now? Did he die or not?
Flipping to the next report, Zong Shou smiled once more. This time it came from Qiu Wei.
"The sinner camp is filled with people, Zhenshan Pass has 3700 people. Within Gantian Mountain City, there are a total of 44 thousand people. They have all been sent 10 miles outside of the city. I want to split it into 5 towns, each with a commander, please allow it! "
Zong Shou's attention was on Zhenshan Pass, on those 3700 people.
These soldiers who personally saw him use the six god defensive knife technique to kill 2 Xuanwu ancestors didn't disappear. How rare.
He originally thought that with the methods of Wujue Villa and Taiyuan Sect, even if they didn't kill them, they would think of a way to make them disappear.
They were actually able to return to Gantian Mountain City perfectly fine. Those few people knew that they couldn't suppress it anymore. Or was it that the disciple recruitment battle had already ended and they weren't willing to suppress it anymore?
If it was as he thought, then it was a good thing. It meant that he was very close to the martial books of these 2 peak powers.
On the report, under the word commander, there were the words Xiong Kui. Following which was the next report. Zong Shou's eyes lit up, suddenly he was really interested. (To be continued.
