"Why did someone from the Quartermaster Department come?" Lu Ye asked with a frown. He had been studying the third form of the Tyrant Saber Technique for the past few days and his mind was filled with that exquisite saber technique. His reaction was a little slow.
Yu Huang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Didn't we request for supplies a few days ago and someone from the Quartermaster Department came to deliver supplies?" Only then did Lu Ye react. "If that's the case, then you can deal with him. There's no need to report this to me."
Yu Huang said, "Sir, he came to our territory. As the Pass Master, you have to come out and entertain him." It would be fine if the person didn't mention Lu Ye, but Manager Fu did mention Lu Ye just now. If Lu Ye didn't come out, it would be a little unreasonable. After all, he came to deliver things. Lu Ye didn't understand. "Entertain what?" He was here to guard the pass and protect the front line of the Military Province. The Quartermaster Department was in charge of the distribution and transportation of supplies. Everyone had their own duties. What was there to entertain?
Yu Huang said with a bitter face, "Sir, you don't know. The people from the Quartermaster Department … are not to be offended."
Lu Ye couldn't help but recall the time when he went to the Quartermaster Department with Qian Wudang's order to get supplies. He went to the Quartermaster Department twice in Haotian City. Although they didn't deliberately make things difficult for him, they didn't treat him well either. It was as if he was going to cut off the flesh of the Quartermaster Department. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong with him? Does he need to find some beautiful and fair female cultivators to accompany him?" Yu Huang's expression was embarrassed. He explained, "The people from the Quartermaster Department are not people who abuse their position for personal gain. They are just like this. As the saying goes, subordinates follow the example of their superiors … According to my understanding, this is the rule passed down by the Quartermaster of the Quartermaster Department, Shu Ye Chao." Lu Ye frowned. "Forget it. Let's go meet him."
Yu Huang hurriedly led the way. He didn't forget to remind Lu Ye, "There's one more thing that you should be prepared for."
"The supplies we applied for last time, regardless of the quantity or type, were all too large, so the Quartermaster Division definitely wouldn't approve all of them. This time, the supplies they brought might only be a small portion, but it's still enough for the mountain pass to use. Sir, please don't think that the Quartermaster Division is targeting us. The Prefecture Guards have a large family business, and the Quartermaster Division has the authority to manage the supplies. It's not easy for them either, so they have to be stingy in everything they do. Otherwise, if the gap widens and their family's assets are emptied, they won't be able to explain themselves to their superiors and subordinates. "You're speaking up for them." Lu Ye laughed. Yu Huang sighed, "Although it's said that one shouldn't meddle in politics when not in position, this humble one can more or less understand their way of doing things. As the saying goes, they don't smile when meeting people because they're afraid that someone has a close relationship with the people in the Quartermaster Department and will fill their own pockets. From a certain point of view, the people in the Quartermaster Department are a little despicable, but they are also people who are loyal to their duties. "Mm, mm," Lu Ye replied casually and quickly brought Yu Huang to the guest hall.
At a glance, he saw the two sitting upright. When they saw Lu Ye arrive, the two stood up together. Lu Ye first cupped his fists to the Fifth-Order Divine Sea cultivator, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Liu.
He didn't know what the other party's name was, but he learned from Yu Huang that the other party's surname was Liu and that he was the guard in charge sent by the Quartermaster Department this time. Although he wasn't in charge of this trip, the other party's cultivation was here, so Lu Ye naturally had no problem exchanging pleasantries with him first. The cultivator surnamed Liu looked Lu Ye up and down and smiled with a warm expression, "I've heard of Fellow Daoist Lu's name a long time ago. Today, I finally get to meet you. The War Province's Twin Heroes are indeed talented. …
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, "What War Province's Twin Heroes? When did I get this title? Since they're the War Province's Twin Heroes, then who else is it?"
The cultivator surnamed Liu laughed, "Fellow Daoist Lu might not know, but a few days ago, the matter of Fellow Daoist working together with Fellow Daoist Li Tai Bai of Myriad Demon Ridge to kill many giant insects has been spread out by Senior Brother Wan. Senior Brother Wan said that the battle that day made him feel relaxed and happy. He only felt that time was passing by and that talents were emerging. The War Province's Twin Heroes are Li Tai Bai and Yu Ye. These Twin Heroes of the War Province are Senior Brother Wan's affirmation of Fellow Daoist and that person from Myriad Demon Ridge. Old Wan really has a big mouth … "
Lu Ye was speechless. However, when he thought about it carefully, the Twin Heroes of the War Province were much better than the Sect Exterminating Ye and the Three Disasters of the Spirit Stream Sect. He said modestly, "Elder Wan, you're being too serious. There were many elements of luck in the battle that day, so it's not accurate."
The cultivator surnamed Liu said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, don't be so modest. I've always been familiar with Senior Brother Wan, and I've also asked him about the scene that day. I thought that if I were in that situation, it would be difficult for me to perform. Just from this point alone, although Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation base is inferior to mine, if it's a life and death battle, I'm definitely not your opponent. Senior Brother Wan has a unique vision and is very accurate in judging people. Since he said that the two of you are the Twin Heroes of the War Province, he naturally wouldn't be wrong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have strongly recommended Fellow Daoist to be in charge of a pass. This time, I took the initiative to come here because I wanted to see the demeanor of the rising talents of our War Province. Today, I've finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish. Since they spoke so politely, Lu Ye could only continue to be modest. "Hundreds of barges and thousands of sails compete against each other. Who can say for sure when it comes to cultivation? I ran faster in the first part of the journey, but how would I know that Fellow Daoist Liu wouldn't be able to sail in the second part of the journey?" The cultivator surnamed Liu laughed and said, "Then I'll take advantage of Fellow Daoist's auspicious words." Lu Ye then looked at the other True Lake Stage cultivator. "This must be Manager Fu."
Fu Yao hurriedly saluted, "Manager of the Military Supply Department, Fu Yao, greets Pass Lord Lu." As he spoke, he untied a large pile of storage pouches from his waist and picked out a total of five of them. He then handed over two jade slips, "One of them is the list of materials that the Military Supply Department approved for this Shocking Waves Lake Pass application. The other one is the list of materials that Manager Chao asked me to bring to Fellow Daoist. I hope that Pass Lord Lu can check it in person and verify it before signing for it."
Lu Ye nodded slightly and received the two jade slips. He first looked at the list of materials that had been applied for. After a while, he nodded his head without batting an eyelid. Following that, he checked the other list. As expected, it was a large amount of fire spirit stones and other materials for refining array discs.
Yu Huang watched anxiously from the side, afraid that Lu Ye would fly into a rage because of the wrong number of materials. His worry was not without reason. Lu Ye's age was right and he was in the prime of his youth. He would not be so tactful when doing things. If he really flew into a rage because of the wrong number of materials, he would offend the Military Supply Department. In the future, if the Shocking Waves Lake Pass wanted to apply for any materials allocation, they would only see more cold faces.
What comforted him was that Lu Ye did not show any signs of getting angry. After checking the list of materials, he nodded his head and said, "There are no problems. How do I sign for it?"
Fu Yao smiled and said, "Pass Lord Lu only needs to leave your aura imprint in these two jade slips."
Lu Ye did the same and returned the two jade slips to Fu Yao. Fu Yao took them and said, "Now, I can return to the Military Supply Department to report. Pass Lord Lu, before I left, Department Head Chao instructed me that if Pass Lord Lu needs anything in the future, please do not hesitate to inform the Military Supply Department. Anything that can be allocated will be given priority to Pass Lord Lu's side." When he said this, Lu Ye did not have much of a reaction, but Yu Huang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
If he did not know this Manager Fu, he would have suspected that the other party was from the Military Supply Department. Since when were the people from the Military Supply Department so easy to talk to? Even a stingy rooster would have its feathers plucked.
In the beginning, even when Liu Yuemei was overseeing the Shocking Waves Lake Pass, she had not been able to build a good relationship with the people from the Military Supply Department. Every time this Manager Fu came to deliver materials, Liu Yuemei would personally accompany him to deliver the goods. However, this Manager Fu had always had a business-like attitude. Although he did not give Liu Yuemei any face, he was truly unmoved by force or persuasion. After the goods were delivered, he would not stop for a moment and would immediately leave. What was going on today?
This Manager Fu had a smiling face from beginning to end, and now he actually said such words.
He had never heard of Chao Ye having any relationship with the Jade Blood Sect. Furthermore, a person like Chao Ye would not do anything for personal gain. "Then I will thank Department Head Chao in advance." Lu Ye was also confused. Originally, Yu Huang had told him many things in advance and he had really thought that there would be a shortage of materials from the Military Supply Department and had already mentally prepared himself. But now, it seemed that this was not the case at all.
"Since this matter is over, we will take our leave first." Fu Yao spoke up. "The two of you have had a hard journey, why don't you rest here before leaving? Let me do my duty as a host."
Fu Yao said, "We appreciate Pass Master Lu's kind intentions, but we have official business to attend to." He patted his waist, which was bulging with storage pouches. "Other than the Shocking Waves Lake Pass, I still have seven or eight other passes to visit. The allocation of materials is very important and this Fu does not dare to be negligent." Hearing him say this, Lu Ye did not insist and extended his hand in invitation. "Then I will send the two of you off."
A moment later, after Lu Ye had sent off Fu Yao and Fu Yao, he returned to the guest hall and saw Yu Huang looking at him excitedly with several storage pouches in his hands. "My Lord, what is your relationship with Department Head Chao?" "Chao Ye." Lu Ye shook his head. "I have only heard of him, but never seen him." "Then why were all the materials we applied for approved?" Yu Huang held the storage pouches in his hands and felt that they were heavy.
He had been ordered to draw up the list of materials for the house application. He was very clear on how many types of materials there were and how much weight each had. It could be said that he was completely asking for an exorbitant price and did not expect the Military Supply Department to approve at all. He even thought that the Military Supply Department would definitely send someone to reprimand him. But now, they actually did not give the approval at all.
And just now, Fu Yao's attitude towards Lu Ye was still the same, and he even said that Department Head Chao had ordered him to inform the Military Supply Department if he had any needs in the future, and those that could be allocated would be prioritized at the Shocking Waves Lake Pass. After being at the pass for so many years, he had never seen the Military Supply Department so considerate.
This was the attitude of someone treating their own son ah!
If not for the fact that Lu Ye was a man, Yu Huang would have suspected that he had some unspeakable relationship with Chao Ye.
