My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

At the same time, Zhao Jinghua sat behind the desk with a frown on his face, and began to recall what the system said beside Wan Sutong. Beili would send 150,000 troops, but Nanling City was just a small city. Why would the Emperor of Beili do this?

The Ming Beiying only had 5,000 soldiers, and although the Beili soldiers had surrendered, they only had less than 800 men. If they were going to lose, they couldn't let the soldiers die in vain.

But if he breaks through to the second level of demigod within three days, not to mention 150,000 enemy troops, even a million enemy troops will not be a problem. If he is too impatient and develops a demon in his heart, he will become a ruthless killer in the eyes of others, and even the people in the city may be killed by him.

Zhao Jinghua thought that Zhou Lang had already come back with the news, and he was out of breath when he spoke, "Sir, the Beili Army will reach Nanling City in one day at the earliest! Their base is eight hundred miles away!"

Zhao Jinghua frowned and thought for a moment, as if he had made up his mind to die. "Zhou Lang, take them away. If the news of my death spreads, you will tell the public that all the 5,000 soldiers in Mingbei Camp will be killed except you."

At this time, Vice General Zhong rushed in and said, "If I don't leave, can those Beili people defeat us?"

Zhao Jinghua said in a cold tone, "Deputy General Zhong! Those are 150,000 Northern Li troops! I can't let you go and die knowing that you will die!"

Vice Admiral Zhong came to Zhao Jinghua with an angry look on his face and said, "Are you questioning my strength? You're asking me to be a deserter!"

Zhou Lang quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lieutenant General Zhong, "Lieutenant General, that's not what the general meant!"

Vice Admiral Zhong waved Zhou Lang's hand away. "That's what he meant!"

Zhao Jinghua saw the look on Deputy General Zhong's face and laughed instead of getting angry. "Zhong Su, the soldiers have elderly and children at home, unlike you who are not afraid of death." Just then Zhao Jinghua heard a woman's shouting outside the tent. The woman seemed to be shouting Deputy General Zhong's name. Then he chuckled and said, "But don't forget, you also have a family." Zhao Jinghua emphasized the word "family" very seriously, hoping to remind Zhong Su

Zhong Su also heard his wife's shout at this time, and his mind buzzed as if a line was broken.

Zhao Jinghua sighed and looked at Zhou Lang, saying in a calm tone, "Take Deputy General Zhong out to see his wife, and let him leave with his wife." Zhou Lang nodded and helped Zhong Su, who was still stunned, to leave.

After leaving the main tent, Zhou Lang shouted to the woman in the distance, "Sister-in-law! Brother Zhong is here!" The woman quickly turned around and ran towards Zhong Su. Zhong Su felt even more embarrassed when he saw the lady in front of him, so he walked even more uncoordinatedly. "Madam!"

Mrs. Zhong felt a headache when she saw Deputy General Zhong's dazed look. "What happened to him?"

Zhou Lang sighed, "150,000 Beili troops are going to attack Nanling City. The general asked me to take all the soldiers away. Brother Zhong disagreed and argued with the general. The general said that Brother Zhong still has you, and asked Brother Zhong to leave with you. He was stunned."

Mrs. Zhong frowned and turned into a bundle of ropes. Seeing this, Zhong Su tried to break free from Zhou Lang's hand. "I can't go with you!" Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhong kicked Zhong Su in the knee. "Hold him down for me!"

Zhou Lang immediately pressed Zhong Su's shoulder and said, "You have offended the deputy general."

Zhong Su kept struggling with a tone full of surprise, "Zhou Lang, let me go, how come you are stronger than before!" Zhou Lang felt helpless for Zhong Su's stupidity, "Because my realm is higher than yours, I can't suppress you even if I die of brute force."

Just as Zhong Su was about to speak, Mrs. Zhong raised her hand and pressed the mute point on Zhong Su. Then she sighed and looked at Zhou Lang, "Your brother Zhong becomes extremely stupid when he is impulsive. I am sorry to embarrass you." She quickly tied Zhong Su into a knot. After tying the knot, she looked at Zhou Lang and bowed her head slightly, "Please, brother Zhou, send your brother Zhong to the carriage. Thank you."

Zhou Lang nodded and carried Zhong Su up. Zhong Su's face was filled with anger but he couldn't open his mouth. He could only let Zhou Lang carry him away.

Mrs. Zhong shook her head and walked into the main military tent. When she was three steps away from Zhao Jinghua, she slowly saluted and said, "Your Highness, Shangguan Lianxue greets the general."

Zhao Jinghua nodded and said, "Get up. Are you the wife of Vice General Zhong?"

Shangguan Lianxue stood up and answered, "It is my wife."

Zhao Jinghua hummed, "What are you doing here, sister-in-law?"

Shangguan Lianxue transformed a wooden box and presented it with both hands. "I heard that the general will fight 150,000 Beili troops alone. This wooden box contains elixirs that can help people quickly improve their realm. I hope the general will accept it."

Zhao Jinghua sighed, "I understand your kindness, but please take it back..." Before Zhao Jinghua could finish, Shangguan Lianxue raised her hands again, "General, you have saved my husband's life this time. If you win, it will be the glory of the entire Mingbei Camp, and my husband will also gain honor. But if you lose, with this elixir, Zhong Su won't feel too guilty when he finds out. Also, think about it, even if these 5,000 people leave, they must remain anonymous so that the court won't find out."

Zhao Jinghua shook his head slightly. "Sister-in-law is indeed from a wealthy family..." Zhao Jinghua hesitated for a moment, then chuckled and didn't intend to continue. "Forget it... Thank you, sister-in-law."

Shangguan Lianxue put the wooden box on the ground and said, "In this case, I will take my leave. I wish the general a victorious return!"

Zhao Jinghua nodded and said "thank you"

At this time, Wan Sutong looked at the extremely lonely Zhao Jinghua in the panel and sighed, "Should I... help him?"

Su Qinghui touched her head and asked, "But how can you help him?"

Wan Sutong looked at the system and asked, "Is there anything similar to the elixir that Shangguan Lianxue gave him?"

There was a ping-pong sound coming from the system, as if it was searching for something. "Found it, there are defense and attack. What does the host want?"

Wan Sutong's eyes lit up. "Tell me everything!"

"Um...but the host's points are only enough to buy one kind, the defensive golden silk armor that is invulnerable to swords and guns, but Zhao Jinghua has the golden silk armor."

Wan Sutong frowned, "What about the attacker?"

"Attack-type pills are divided into two types: short-term and long-term. Long-term ones can be accumulated spiritual power, while short-term ones will dissipate in three days. The host's points can only be exchanged for short-term ones."

Then the system began to analyze again, "This elixir can improve spiritual power but not realm. Zhao Jinghua just needs it. Although he has improved his realm, his spiritual power will eventually run out. If you send the elixir to him, he will successfully resist the foreign enemies and you will be indispensable in his future rewards."

Su Qinghui patted Wan Sutong on the shoulder and said, "Tongtong, this is a good suggestion."

Wan Sutong nodded and looked at the system with a determined heart, "Then I'll listen to you! I'll exchange it no matter how many points I have! And take out the clothes from last time."

Su Qinghui held Wan Sutong's hand and said, "Mom will go with you."

Wan Sutong shook her head and said, "Mom, I can do it myself."

At this time, Zhao Jinghua bent down and picked up the wooden box containing the elixir. He looked at the wooden box but did not open it for a long time, because he never believed in anyone's kindness. He believed that the reason for people to do good was tied to interests. He put the wooden box on the table and closed his eyes to think.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a young man's voice behind me: "Young Master!"

Zhao Jinghua opened his eyes and turned around. The person who came was Wan Sutong. Zhao Jinghua raised his hand and created a barrier to cover the main tent. "What are you doing here, Miss Sutong?" Although he asked this, his tone did not sound surprised.

Wan Sutong was about to speak when she saw that Zhao Jinghua did not take the pill, but placed it on the table.

The system said with a melancholy tone, "Zhao Jinghua is suspicious by nature and doesn't believe in goodwill without benefits. It's difficult to deal with it."

Wan Sutong chuckled and a porcelain bottle appeared. "I heard that the Beili Army is coming. I got a pill that can improve my spiritual power a long time ago. I hope you can accept it. I..." Wan Sutong said helplessly, "You know that I have an engagement with King Lin's unborn eldest son. You are the eldest son of the prince. If you are alive, you will be the future crown prince. I hope you can help me and let me become your counselor."

Zhao Jinghua chuckled, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Miss Su Tong, don't talk nonsense. The position of crown prince may not fall on me. As for the counselor..." Zhao Jinghua glanced at the location of the system and thought, can I rely on it?

But after a moment, Zhao Jinghua chuckled and said, "Okay, but Miss Su Tong has entered Kyoto, so you must be careful of my brothers. If you meet them, it is better not to contact them."

Wan Sutong was about to ask why when the system explained, "His brothers all look good, but their personalities are questionable. The second oldest is moody, the third is arrogant, but has superb martial arts, the fourth is cold and good at military tactics, but is a dull person, the fifth is paranoid and arrogant, and can only recite poems and devise strategies, but is a waste on the battlefield because he can't use weapons, the seventh and eighth are twins who are only ten years old. They don't fight or compete with each other but are extremely cold-blooded. In comparison, Zhao Jinghua has a good personality."

Wan Sutong was a little confused. "He has a good personality, right?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and said, "Miss Su Tong, I am just giving you some advice. It's up to you whether you listen to it or not."

At this time, the system shook its head and said, "He... you will slowly find out. He is not a good person if he can become the commander-in-chief of the three armies."
