Du Quan said respectfully: "The Lord Guard is a monk from the Du family, and I am a member of the Du family."
Strictly speaking, the main family and the branch families are members of the same clan.
Lu Ye understood, and looked up at him: "What's the matter?"
Du Quan smiled and said: "On the orders of the Lord Guard, I came to collect the spoils of war!"
"What do you mean?" Lu Ye frowned.
Wang Xun on the side couldn't bear it any longer. He cupped his fists and said, "Sir, he wants us to hand over 20% of the spoils of this battle!"
Then Du Quan said quickly: "Brother Taoist, please don't talk nonsense. It's not me, Du Quan, who wants your trophies. This is the rule set by the guardian before. Twenty percent of all the trophies in this stronghold will belong to the guardian.
I was just ordered to come and collect it."
Wang Xun was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "How can there be such a rule?"
Du Quan looked at him sideways: "That's because you have little knowledge. Lord Du Feng is guarding this stronghold. It is not only the strongest combat power, but also a kind of guarantee. It is also a deterrent to the outside world. During the war, the guard has the greatest contribution. Isn't he qualified?
Get your own trophies? Although guarding is the integration of Taoism, guarding also requires practice, and it also requires Taoist power to maintain its own strength. If they are as unwilling to pay as you are, then if the enemy comes again, how will the guard take action?
Power? The power of guarding does not come out of thin air."
Wang Xun was very angry at what he said, but somehow he felt that what he said made sense. He wanted to refute but didn't know where to start.
His temperament tends to be reckless, and his thoughts are not that careful. He held it in for a long time before saying: "Anyway, I have never heard of such a rule."
Yang Mingfang on the side said: "In various war zones, there are indeed many guards who have set such rules. Brother Wang, you have been staying in Lanshui before, so you must have never heard of it. After all, there are very few guards who are as considerate to their subordinates as Master Ziying.
See you."
Wang Xun turned his head angrily and looked at him: "Where are you from?"
Yang Mingfang smiled slightly and did not explain, but looked at Du Quan: "But as far as I know, basically the rules set by the major guards are that only 10% of the loot is required, so why does it need 20% here?
"
Du Quan said calmly: "In the previous battle, your Excellency consumed a huge amount of money and it was not easy to recover the Fusion Dao, so I have to harvest an extra ten percent. Listening to what you just said, you are a sensible person. You should know that if there is another powerful enemy coming,
If you want to hold the stronghold, you have to face it with Lord Du Feng, and he must regain his strength as soon as possible."
Yang Mingfang sneered: "If there is a powerful enemy coming, will our guard still have the courage to fight against it?"
Du Quan's expression changed and he shouted: "You are so presumptuous!" He also knew that Du Feng's earlier escape when he saw the situation was not good was a stain. Now that the stronghold was defended, it was a big or small matter, but if the stronghold was lost, then he would
Need to take responsibility.
Yang Mingfang said calmly: "If the guard had refused to retreat and had the intention to protect his subordinates, we would naturally be willing to hand over the spoils. After all, with Rong Dao in charge, we would indeed feel safer, but the reason why we can win today's battle is
Everyone knows what it is, but it has nothing to do with the Lord Guard, and you, don’t forget who you are alive because of at this moment.”
Du Quan said coldly: "Du Quan will not forget your life-saving grace. I believe that all the fellow Taoists in the stronghold are grateful to you, but you don't really think that you can kill Rong Dao and guard the master without merit, right?"
"
Wang Xun looked surprised: "I don't remember that the guard showed up when the Zerg Rongdao died!"
Du Quan nodded: "Yes, the Lord Guard was indeed not present at that time, but if the Lord Guard hadn't fought to the death with the Zerg Rongdao before, how could the Zerg be in such a state that they were at the end of their crossbow? You can use the weak to attack the strong and kill Rongdao,
Isn’t that the foundation laid by Lord Guard?”
This was what Du Feng said to a few of their cronies just now. Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed right.
At that time, after Du Quan and others saw the Zerg Rongdao being killed, their hearts were filled with shock and surprise. They didn't think too much about it. However, after listening to Du Feng's words, they realized that Heyi Camp was picking up
In order to get a big advantage, the Zerg Fusion Dao was too careless and arrogant because of its high level, otherwise it would not have died at the hands of a group of Taoists.
Therefore, even if he was grateful for Heyiying's kindness, it would not prevent him from coming to collect the loot, not to mention that this was Du Feng's order.
Wang Xun and others were speechless at these words, because from the standpoint of all the monks in the stronghold, what Du Quan said seemed to be... correct!
At that time, the confrontation with the Rong Dao lasted only a moment, and then the opponent died, as if he was vulnerable to a blow.
For a moment, I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that I and others really took advantage of it, and that the Zerg Fusion was really at the end of its tether?
Only Lu Ye knew that the opponent was not a weakling at all, and that Rong Dao would die entirely because of the disparity in strength.
Furthermore, how could he spit out what he had eaten? The Dao bones in his hands were almost refined, so even if Du Feng wanted it, he wouldn't have to give it to him.
"Commander Lu." Seeing that Wang Xun and others were dumbfounded, Du Quan looked at Lu Ye, clasped his fists and said, "I am only following orders, please don't embarrass me, Commander Lu."
Lu Ye pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Understood."
Saying this, he took out a few Dao bones from his storage ring and handed them to him.
Du Quan stared blankly.
Lu Ye said: "During the battle, our Heyi Battalion was in the lead. We only focused on killing the enemy and did not collect much loot. These are 20% of the total harvest."
Since we are adhering to the rules set by Zhen, there is no harm in following them.
Anyway, only his own insiders know how much loot there is in Heyi Camp, and Du Quan doesn't know. He can't dig out everyone's storage rings to investigate.
Du Quan was dumbfounded.
Wang Xun, Yang Mingfang and others on the side were suppressing laughter. They did not expect Lu Ye to respond like this. He was like a wild dog sent away to beg for food.
"Commander Lu!" Du Quan's face turned cold, "I can't do business like this!"
Even if he doesn't know how much Heyi Camp has gained, it can't be just this little. What's going on with so many Taoist bones?
"Just report it truthfully." Lu Ye looked at him indifferently. When he saw that he didn't want to pick it up, he threw the bone directly at his feet and closed his eyes.
It’s more like sending away a wild dog begging for food!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Du Quan's face turned blue and red, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything. He bent down to pick up the pieces of Taoist bones and left with a cold snort.
"Commander." Wang Xun was shouting loudly with Du Quan just now, but now he was a little nervous, "Would it offend Du Feng if we do this?"
Lu Ye opened his eyes and looked at him: "Are you willing to pay 20% of the loot?"
Wang Xun shook his head like a rattle and covered his storage ring: "That was what our brothers fought for with blood. That Du Feng was as timid as a mouse and escaped from the battle. Now that he has defended the stronghold, he has come back to give orders. I will
If you give him the bones, you might as well feed them to dogs."
"That's right." Lu Ye's expression was calm, "As for offending him... Heyi Camp was established by Lord Ziying, and we are Lord Ziying's people. This time, Fengtai's military situation is urgent, so we stopped by.
Just support."
Wang Xun's eyes lit up: "Yes, we are Lord Ziying's people, not his subordinates!"
According to the original itinerary, Heyi Battalion was rushing to join Ziying, but it was temporarily transferred from Huangquan Zhanxing for support.
Lu Ye asked Ziying about this, and Huang Quan also said hello to her.
Therefore, Lu Ye was sure that they would not be able to stay here for long. After the situation stabilized, they would leave this place and go to join Ziying and work under her command.
So it doesn't matter if he offends Du Feng or not, and Lu Ye is not afraid of offending such a Rong Dao. To put it bluntly, he really doesn't take Du Feng's Rong Dao seriously now.
While talking, Wang Xun remembered something again: "It would be fine if Du Feng escaped from the battle and the stronghold was really lost. The key is now that the stronghold is defended. Once Huangquan Zhanxing learns of this, he will definitely be blamed!"
Lu Ye said calmly: "The details of the battle report were prepared by him as the guard. Naturally, he can say whatever he wants."
Although he had no direct contact with him, Lu Ye had a rough idea of what kind of person Du Feng was just from Du Quan's behavior style.
How could such a person report the war truthfully? The military information obtained by Huang Quan was most likely that Du Feng was extremely brave and led the battle. He not only defended the stronghold, but also killed a Rong Dao from the opponent.
Wang Xun was stunned: "Isn't he afraid that the matter will be exposed? Huang Quan will definitely send someone to verify the details of the war."
There are many people at Fengtai Stronghold, and not all of them are Du Feng's cronies. Once Huangquan sends people to verify the war, they will only need a little investigation to know the true situation of the war.
"So what if it's exposed." Lu Ye said slowly, "He is a Rong Dao after all. Even if Huangquan knows about it, they will only make him guilty and perform meritorious service. And...who among the monks here in the stronghold would dare to offend him?"
Being in the stronghold, under the wings of Tuobi Rongdao, offending him, I don't know how I died.
"That's right!" Wang Xun nodded and said angrily: "This is too dark. It's better to work under Lord Ziying."
Yang Mingfang shook his head and said: "Sir Ziying's guarding is actually rare. Nowadays, in the war alliance, aristocratic families are running amok, and most of them are selfish people."
"Okay, let's all repair ourselves and quickly refine the Dao bones in our hands." Lu Ye said.
Everyone then dispersed in a hurry.
We have just experienced a big battle, and the enemy even killed a Fusion Dao. The Insect Mother should not make any big moves until there is a suitable response. For all the monks in the stronghold, this is a rare moment of leisure.
Although there is no way to go into battle to kill enemies to obtain Tao bones, you can still obtain Tao power through hard training, but the efficiency is much slower.
Lu Ye refined the few Tao bones left in his hand and entered a state of penance.
