Chapter 11: Prices

Zhu Jian thought for a while and said, "Let's carry it in turn!"

Ma Xiu frowned and said, "It's not that my subordinates don't want to save the prince, but whoever can jump out of the six-meter-high city wall with a man on his back will have to be crushed to pieces."

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid. I'd rather die than stay in this ghost place. Take me away!" Zhu Zhishu said in a daze.

Qin Liangyu thought that this bullshit prince stayed here without any other use other than affecting the morale of the military and the strategy, and it would be better if he left.

But Ma Xiu thought that General Qin was clearly shirking responsibility and dumping this big burden on me. If something went wrong along the way, he could not afford to pay for any number of brains. He would never take this job!

Zhu Jian didn't think so much, he was only worried that he could not jump off the six-meter-high city wall. Everyone froze for a moment.

Zhu Zhishu took two steps back, took out the style of King Shu and shouted: "I ordered you to take me out. If you dare to disobey, I will definitely let the emperor cut off your head."

"Since the prince said that, there is no way. Let's just walk on the prince's back. However, my subordinates are really not sure. If something goes wrong, please forgive me!"

"You do your best, I won't blame you!" Zhu Zhishu immediately became happy.

Ma Xiu looked around and said to Qin Liangyu: "At most ten days, Yi Shuai will definitely be in the city. At that time, She Chongming will have no time to take care of the brothers on the mountain. You can go down the mountain to find food. Brothers are not convenient for a long time, so say goodbye!" Ma Xiu turned around and called Zhu Zhishu with his purple swordsman on his back and was about to leave.

Qin Liangyu shouted: "After the general returns, I will greet Yi Shuai on my behalf and tell him to be careful. The brothers in the city are all men and can hold on!"

Ma Xiu's body was shocked and turned around and bowed: "Please!"

Qin Liangyu looked at the backs of Ma Xiu and others, thinking that the next step was to find food, and treat himself as the king of the mountain. If he could win, he would fight, and if he couldn't win, he would run away, so that She Chongming would not be able to catch the beginning and end. Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. He could do it as soon as he said it, and he would definitely attack the city.

Ma Xiu asked Zhu Jian as he walked: "Girl, I recognize you. You are not the one who follows Yi Shuai every day... Why did you run into the military camp?"

Zhu Jian said angrily: "If you come, don't come!"

"Hehe, how can I be the same as you? I am a man and should go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. You are a woman. How can Yi Shuai be willing to let you take risks? This is not Yi Shuai's style!"

"I'm pretty smart. Tell you, I came here secretly, but fortunately this time, otherwise you and Qin Liangyu would have killed each other."

Ma Xiu sighed long and said, "I am really unlucky, I carry two mountains on my back, and I can't do this job!" Zhu Jian said inexplicably, "What does it mean to carry two mountains on my back?" Ma Xiu smiled and said, "You one, and the other one... I will lose my head if anything happens to you. Do you think it's unlucky!"

"Nonsense, this girl is different from that prince. I am a martial arts master!" Zhu Jian said dissatisfiedly. Ma Xiu sneered: "Your little trippy kung fu is nothing on the battlefield!"

"Even if you say that, I'm going to take a look." Zhu Jian became interested instead.

Eleven people carried Zhu Zhishu in shifts and it was Ma Xiu's turn. Ma Xiu was not afraid of being tired, but couldn't help laughing. Zhu Jian asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"We just agreed that we will carry the prince in shifts. It's your turn next. How do you carry it?"

When Zhu Jian saw that Zhu Zhishu was sleeping on Ma Xiu, he was so angry that he almost suffered a stroke. He said viciously: "If you dare to carry it for me, I will throw him into the mountain stream. Do you believe it? Anyway, I ran out secretly. There is no name on my credit, so you can't rely on me, haha."

"Hey, this joke is not good, let's forget it, I'll carry it on my back!" Ma Xiu smiled bitterly.

Several people slowly came to the foothills. The target was too big in broad daylight and they didn't dare to run down. They sat in a low cave and waited for the sun to set. Zhu Jian took this opportunity to sleep. When he woke up, the sun had already set. The woods beside him were shaking and swaying in the dark.

Ma Xiu carried Zhu Zhishu and wanted to leave. Zhu Jian suddenly blocked the two of them and shouted sternly: "Prince, you just promised that each of our brothers could be cashed out. It's been a lot of hard for you to walk for a day!"

Zhu Zhishu was famous for sacrificing his life and wealth. He just said casually just now, and when he really paid for it, he immediately became depressed and hummed and pretended to be stupid. Ma Xiu shook his head and dared not speak.

"Brothers, if the prince doesn't give the money, we won't go forward. Let's throw him here to feed the wild boars!" Zhu Jian mobilized the masses.

Of course, the purple-clothed swordsman followed Zhu Jian's order and immediately followed him and stood there motionless. Zhu Zhishu begged: "I don't have so much silver on me. When the army recovers Chengdu, I will definitely serve it as it should and will never go back on my word."

"That's not OK. There is no evidence. If you don't admit your account, then you will carry the emperor out and chop our heads. Who do you want to ask for advice? You will give the money today, otherwise..."

Zhu Zhishu jumped off Ma Xiu's back, hugged the bag tightly, and shouted: "Or what, otherwise what, you are too brave. You dare to blackmail me and have a few heads!"

"Brothers, you all saw it. King Qiansui of Shu is going to be dependent on the debt. Do you think we can still help him?" Zhu Jian rolled up his sleeves and shouted.

"If you don't help, don't help!" Ziyi Jianshe followed suit.

Zhu Jian said to Ma Xiu: "If General Ma is willing to recite it, then carry it. We will not accompany you and say goodbye."

When Zhu Zhishu saw that they were really leaving, he was scared: "No, no, I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. I just said that I would give it to you when I recovered Chengdu. Soon, very soon, all the Ming army brothers are relieved!"

"The prince is so serious. How can we be brothers with you? We just want to take the money home to support the family. If the prince can fulfill his promise, we will take you out even if we fight to the death. If you draw cakes for your brothers to fill your hunger, then I'm sorry, brothers won't serve you!" Zhu Jianxin thought, it would be better if he didn't pay. I'll leave you here to feed the wolf, which can be considered as a breath for Emperor Jianwen.

"Oh my god, you are robbers, how can you..."

"Haha, 66,000 taels, Prince, please pay for the silver ticket. I'm afraid that there is more than this number in your bag!"

As soon as Zhu Jian mentioned the "burden", Zhu Zhishu's face changed immediately. He took two or three steps back and said in a trembling voice: "What do you...you, what do you want to do?"

Ma Xiu smiled and said, "Prince, please rest assured. Brothers just want to get back what they deserve. They don't dare to ask for one tael of extra silver. You just need to take out 66,000 taels!"

Zhu Zhishu was so anxious that he scratched his head and was reluctant to pay. Qin Liangyu and Ma Xiu looked at each other and shouted, "Let's go, let's go, let's go!" He led everyone forward.

It was already dark, and the mountains were crying and howling. Zhu Zhishu had been so proud that he could withstand these things since he was a child. He was so scared that his legs were weak and his muscles were numb, and he screamed: "Okay, okay, I will give it to you!" His hands trembled and he reached into the bag, took out a stack of seven silver notes, and he caught up with Zhu Jian and said: "I will give you 70,000 taels, and you will find me 4,000 taels, not a small amount of one tael!"

Zhu Jian took the silver notes and counted them and said with a smile: "I will accept them first, and I will return to the military camp. Brothers, stand up with the prince on my back!"
