Regarding Zhang Sihai and the ancient seal, Ye Zheng had his own concerns.
Because this matter related to his privacy, he did not invite Zhang Sihai to the awards and commendation meeting in Juyi Hall today because he wanted to summon Zhang Sihai alone and ask him where the seal was. income from premises,
Why did this seemingly inconspicuous ancient seal actually give him the authority to open the arsenal twice, and the authority was so high? Therefore, Ye Zheng was very sure that this ancient seal would definitely It's not simple. There must be some unknown secrets behind it.
In the past few days, he kept thinking about the words that came to his mind when he took the seal, "Congratulations, sir, for occupying a small kingdom and a national capital. Now you can get a second reward. The reward is the authority to open the fourth-level arsenal at once." , the authority to open the fifth-level arsenal at once..."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder why this seal could actually give him two permissions to the fourth-level and fifth-level arsenal. He had only snatched the official seal of the imperial county seat before. He was given the authority to open the third-level arsenal once, and the inconspicuous ancient seal that Zhang Sihai gave him seemed very special, very special.
Especially the sound of the system prompt, congratulations to him for occupying a small kingdom and its capital. Why does this sentence seem so contradictory?
After thinking for a long time, Ye Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but suddenly realized, and said secretly: "I understand, I understand, why the infinite arsenal system will prompt me to occupy a small kingdom and a capital. The only explanation for this That is, the ancient seal in front of you is not only the seal of a capital city, but more likely, it is also the national seal of a small kingdom."
After thinking about this, everything will be logical and reasonable.
It is absolutely impossible to obtain the permission to open the fifth-level arsenal with just a city seal of the capital of a small kingdom. Only by obtaining the national seal of a small kingdom can he be misjudged as occupied by the infinite arsenal system. This small kingdom will reward him with the permission to open the fifth-level arsenal once.
After analyzing the trick in this seal, Ye Zheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
At this time, outside the warehouse of Qunying Village, Zhang Sihai was leading a group of people, under the scorching sun, to count the broken armor and equipment to see which ones could be repaired and used, and which ones could only be scrapped completely. In the morning, less than half of it was processed.
"Damn it, you lazy guys are just dragging their feet, move faster, don't let me suffer along with you..."
At this time, Zhang Sihai was standing nearby gesticulating, his voice starting to smoke when he shouted, and his fat old face was covered with oily sweat beads in this hot weather.
"Where is Guan Zhang?"
Suddenly, a call from afar reached his ears. After Zhang Sihai heard it, he immediately turned around his fat neck and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a man wearing black clothing. The cottage guards holding steel knives stood at the foot of the steps outside the warehouse.
After seeing the cold-looking cottage guard, Zhang Sihai was immediately shaken because he recognized that guard as one of the alliance leader Ye Zheng's guards. Now, since he came here to summon him, he must be the alliance leader's guard. mean,
Zhang Sihai was overjoyed when he thought about the leader of the alliance meeting him later, but he still had to pretend to be unaware, came to the guard of the leader of the alliance, and said: "I am Zhang Sihai, I don't know. What does this brother call me for?"
The guard said: "I am here to take you to see him under the order of the leader of the alliance."
When Zhang Sihai heard this, he secretly said with joy, it was just as he had guessed, and he said respectfully: "Okay, okay, since the leader of the alliance has invited me, I will go over right now."
"Manager Zhang, please."
After the guard waved to Zhang Sihai and saluted, he asked him to walk in front. Then, the two of them went to Ye Zheng's residence one after another.
Not long after, Zhang Sihai arrived at Ye Zheng's residence.
At this time, Ye Zheng was sitting in the pavilion in the backyard, drinking beer and smoking a cigarette. He looked quite happy. Suddenly, he heard someone announcing that Zhang Sihai had arrived, and immediately ordered Zhang Sihai to come to the backyard. see him,
After Zhang Sihai saw Ye Zheng, he immediately bowed his waist with a humble smile on his face. He saw him standing respectfully under the pavilion, bowed his head and saluted: "I'm here to pay my respects to the leader. I don't know that the leader is calling me." What are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Ye Zheng burst out laughing and said: "Manager Zhang, please don't be too polite, please get up quickly, please get up quickly..." After saying that, Ye Zheng personally walked down from the pavilion and invited him into the pavilion. After enthusiastically asking him to sit down, Ye Zheng poured him a glass of water and wine himself, which made Zhang Sihai thank him repeatedly and he was extremely flattered.
After Ye Zheng sat down opposite him, he smiled politely and said: "Haha, I called you here today. I want to thank you in person. I like the seal you gave me last time. The enemy is in front of us and the situation is critical, so I didn't have time to ask about the price at that time. The main reason for calling you here today is to compensate you for the price of this seal."
After saying that, he pushed the prepared box of gold in front of Zhang Sihai,
Seeing this, Zhang Sihai's expression changed. He shook his head and waved his hands hurriedly: "Leader, you are really unreasonable. Isn't it just a small seal? It's not worth a few copper coins. You see how much you have mobilized people. I'm a little panicked. Besides, I have no interest in collecting antique seals. Even if you don't like this seal, if you put it in my home, you'd still use it as a piece of scrap copper and iron as a paperweight, so , please stop being polite, if you really look down on me, take back these gold and silver."
After saying that, he pushed the box of gold back to Ye Zheng. No matter how Ye Zheng tried to persuade him, he refused to accept the box of gold.
Finally, seeing that his attitude was so resolute, Ye Zheng had no choice but to stop forcing him to accept the gold. At the same time, Ye Zheng couldn't help but take a high look at Zhang Sihai in his heart, and said to himself: "This guy usually It seems that he only knows how to flatter him, but he did not expect that he would remain unmoved when faced with so much gold in front of his eyes. From this point of view, he is actually a person. If there is a chance in the future, he must be promoted to someone important."
In fact, is Zhang Sihai really unmoved by gold and silver and regards money as dirt?
The answer is definitely not, he likes money, he is greedy for money than anyone else, but the opportunity to curry favor with the alliance leader Ye Zheng is right in front of him. It is only this once. If he really accepted Ye Zheng's box of gold just now, it is estimated that in the future It would be difficult to curry favor with Ye Zheng and get closer to him, so he had to refuse the gold that Ye Zheng gave him as compensation. Although he paid a lot of money to collect this seal, in order to have a good relationship with the alliance leader, in order to let him The alliance leader owes me a favor, and it's all worth it.
Because he could see that the leader must really like the seal he gave him. Otherwise, he would not have summoned him alone in this pavilion, and would have poured him wine and offered him a seat so warmly and politely. ,
Therefore, he must seize this opportunity, because this opportunity is likely to change his future status in Qunying Village, and even change his life.
Facts have proved that the choice he made today was right. Many years later, when the leader Ye Zheng unified the world and established an unprecedented and huge empire, he was fortunate enough to become the first minister of finance of the Ye empire. When he retired in his later years , he often recounted the legendary deeds of that year to his children and grandchildren in the hall, as well as the choice that changed his life.
