"Settle...settle the accounts?" Cao Hong hadn't even adapted to such a strong contrast.

"What are you settling?" Li Dian and Le Jin obviously misunderstood!

He tightened the spear in his hand and pointed it at Zhao Yun beside him.

This pretty boy is so scary, even scarier than that barbarian Xu Chu.

He looks harmless, but every move is aimed at the enemy's throat.

Especially Li Dian, who was the one who had a duel with Zhao Yun last time. Now he always felt that when Zhao Yun looked at him with a smile, his eyes were looking at his throat.

"Isn't that nonsense?" Zhuge Tian said seriously, "We're not familiar with each other, and we're still considered hostile forces, right? I came here so eagerly to rescue you, but you think I can get you for free?"

Cao Hong didn't understand what freeloading meant at first, but after a little thought he finally understood.

His face flushed red: "Bullshit, I always give..."

"Cough cough!" Li Dian and Le Jin almost coughed out their lungs, which made Cao Hong calm down a little.

If you don't save us today, then the murderer will probably fall on your heads.

"Let it go," Zhuge Tian said nonchalantly. "We're in Deng County anyway. If we really offend Boss Cao, the worst that can happen is we can just keep running south."

"You..." Cao Hong took a deep breath and finally said, "How much?"

"We've saved you three again, and your lives haven't lost their value, so of course we're paying you that much this time."

Zhuge Tian took out a small notebook and wrote as he spoke:

"And then there's the appearance fee for my top fighter, and the clothing fees for pretending to be injured..."

"Wait!" Cao Hong stopped Zhuge Tian. "What's the point of all that appearance fee you guys are getting? Aren't they all for rescuing the three of us? Aren't you charging us twice?"

"Eh!" Zhuge Tian exclaimed softly, "You have some brains!"

"What did you say?" Cao Hong didn't hear clearly.

"Ah, I say... that's not how it works." Zhuge Tian said loudly, "The last time I 'captured' you, it was because we were at war."

"So, we captured you just by chance. We didn't deliberately capture you because we wanted to!"

Zhuge Tian pronounced the word "prisoner" particularly clearly.

Upon hearing this, veins on Cao Hong's and Li Dian Le Jin's foreheads throbbed.

"We came out this time just to save your lives, so these are specially prepared. Of course, there will be an extra charge!"

"Oh, and the outsourcing fee for Old Man Huang and the Deng County garrison..."

"Okay, tell me, how much do you want in total!" Cao Hong's eyes were blazing with anger. This was also a young man in front of him. Why were these young men in Wolong so annoying?

"The total is 64018 strings of cash and 432 coins. We're all regular customers, so I'll let the change go..."

"6 strings of cash, right?" Cao Hong stared at Zhuge Tian.

"...it's 64018 guan..." Zhuge Tian said somewhat embarrassedly, "The remainder is the 432 wen."

Cao Hong took a deep breath and asked, "You can see we have no money right now. Why are you still taking us back to Wolong Village to wait for someone to send us money?"

"That's not necessary." Zhuge Tian shook his head. "We don't know if the journey will be peaceful. We'll take your money and send you to the Cao army border."

"Hmph!" Cao Hong snorted coldly. That's about right.

"Let's go then!"

"Leaving now?" Zhuge Tian asked in surprise.

"What else do you want?"

"Let's go!" Zhuge Tian sighed, "Xingba, it seems General Cao doesn't intend to buy these prisoners. Let's chop them all off!"

"Wait!" Cao Hong was also dizzy from anger just now.

These captives defeated the 300 elite cavalrymen who were secretly protecting Cao Cao, so they must have been very clear about their movements.

We still haven't figured out who is behind this, and they will definitely be taken back for interrogation.

I just didn't expect that this would cost money.

But this... I really have to buy it.

"How much for the prisoners?"

"500 kan each."

"How much? 500 strings of cash? Why don't you just go and rob it?"

Gan Ning and his companions tried to hold back their laughter. Isn't this just a fight?

"Really?" Zhuge Tian still had a gentle smile on his face.

"...Yes." Cao Hong took a look at the captives. There were only about twenty of them in total. If ten thousand strings of cash could help him find the traitor in Cao's camp, it would be very necessary.

"That……"

Zhuge Tian was about to speak when Cao Hong shouted, "Let's go!"

He didn't want to talk to this kid anymore, as if he had drawn his sword... No, he didn't even want his sword back!

Thinking about it this way makes me want to chop him down even more!

"Alright! General Zilian owes a total of 76018 strings of cash!"

It would take almost a day and a night to get from here to the border of Cao's army, but Cao Hong didn't want to say another word to Zhuge Tian.

When it was time for lunch, Cao Hong's old housekeeper brought the prepared dry food. Just after taking two bites, he smelled the fragrance coming from next door.

"Hey, the spicy chicken I made this morning will be even better with rice after heating it up!"

"Red-braised pork is still the best. I can pour the soup over the rice and I can have a whole bowl of rice."

"Hey, there's steamed beef with rice flour for lunch today! Hey, don't fight over it, one plate per person!"

"What's today's soup? Medicinal old duck soup. Is that worthy of Mr. Yuanhua? Then give me an extra bowl to nourish myself!"

Cao Hong and his men looked at the dry food and water bags in their hands.

It's intentional! It must be intentional!

Who cooks soup before going out?

But... I really miss it!

These dishes are not available here, and you can’t even eat them in the biggest restaurant in Xudu in the past!

I really don’t know how the people in Wolong Village did it.

The fragrance kept going into my nose.

"Gulp!" Li Dian swallowed his saliva. "Um... General, everyone came to pick us up. We just had a fierce battle. Otherwise..."

"Wen Qian and I will treat everyone to a meal?"

He had just seen that there were obviously a lot of vegetables brought from Wolong Village.

After everyone had finished their meals, there was still a lot left over and they were about to put it away.

Although he didn't ask, Li Dian felt that considering the other party's greed for money, this meal would probably not be cheap.

Le Jin nodded on the side, and the other soldiers also looked over here secretly.

Cao Hong could only snort through his nose to express his agreement.

"From Wolong Village...how do you sell your food?"

As soon as Li Dian finished asking, Zhuge Tian took out a menu from his arms and handed it to them.

The dishes above are what they ate today, and each one has a clear price tag.

"you……"

Li Dian's hands were shaking as he took the menu. This was all premeditated!

Looking at the prices above, they are more expensive than the most expensive restaurant in Xudu.

Zhuge Tian grinned: "As long as you pay, we have many more services!"
