After meeting Boss Cao, Wu Liang naturally had the same explanation.

By the way, he also described the phenomenon of "soul-sucking by Linghu Lake" in an embellished manner, saying that it was a dangerous situation. If it weren't for bad luck, I'm afraid the entire Hu army would have been found in Yuzhang County.

Hearing this, Boss Cao had a sigh on his face and couldn't help but sigh: "There are such strange things, the world is full of wonders!"

Although Boss Cao doesn't really believe in man-made pretense, he still quite believes in this wonderful phenomenon between heaven and earth... After all, when he was at the tomb of King Liang Xiao, Cao Zhen personally told him about the floss.

However, that incident is not necessarily more ordinary than "Spiritual Lake Soul Absorbing".

But the most important thing is that Wu Liang still brought him something real this time.

"My Lord, please see, this is an overview of the gold obtained this time. I haven't had time to weigh it yet, but I think it should be comparable to what was obtained when the tomb of King Xiao of Liang was excavated last time."

Wu Liang handed a scroll of bamboo slips to Boss Cao.

What is recorded here is the gold stolen from the tomb of Marquis Haihun. Each piece of gold is recorded on the bamboo slips according to the mark of the time of transportation, ensuring that there will be no mistakes.

"Comparable to the amount of gold unearthed from the tomb of King Xiao of Liang?!"

Boss Cao was already grinning from ear to ear. He nodded and praised, "Good! Good! Good! Good! You are talented. You are really one of my lucky generals. With this batch of gold, when I conquer Xuzhou again next year,

We can definitely capture that Lu Bu kid and the traitor Zhang Miao in one fell swoop! Okay! You took such a big risk this time and almost lost your life. I really don’t know how to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?

I will definitely be extremely satisfied!”

Naturally, Wu Liang would not take the initiative to ask for a reward. Instead, he smiled submissively, handed over his hand and said, "Ming Gong, in addition to this batch of gold, the general also received several carts of rare items this time."

"Oh? What kind of strange thing?"

Boss Cao suddenly became interested again and leaned forward slightly.

"This is it."

With a smile, Wu Liang took out a remaining candle from his arms and handed it to Boss Cao, "Ming Gong is well-informed, so he will definitely recognize what this is."

"Honey candle?!"

Boss Cao took the candle in his hand, examined it carefully, and then immediately stood up in surprise. He asked with wide eyes, "You actually got honey candles during this trip, and how many carts of honey candles are there?!"

"Not really? This honey candle was made by Mo Jiang himself."

Wu Liang said, "I just found a few carts of insect wax used to make honey candles. My Lord, I made a rough estimate. If these carts of insect wax are used to make honey candles, it will probably not be less than five thousand."

branch."

"How many did you say?"

Boss Cao's eyes widened even more, almost bulging out.

"Five thousand."

Wu Liang repeated.

"Say it again!"

Boss Cao said again.

"Five thousand."

Wu Liang smiled.

"Say it again!"

"Five thousand."

"Say it again!"

"Five! Thousand! Branches!"

Wu Liang knew that when he said it for the first time, Boss Cao had already heard it clearly. He had asked so many times just to enjoy the surprise that this number brought to him.

It's like a person suddenly won five million in the lottery. He always wants to find someone to confirm this number over and over again. It feels different every time he hears it.

Therefore, he cooperated and kept repeating those three words.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Boss Cao finally stopped asking, and then let out a rough laugh like a nouveau riche, "Five thousand honey candles, are they five thousand honey candles? Although this thing cannot be cashed in immediately, if I use it to win over those people

The wealthy noble families who regard themselves as noble? They may not look down on the common things around them, but this rare thing that can only be found in the palace can immediately open their eyes. Who will dare to look down on me, Cao Mengde?"

"Now that Ming Gong's war is so gratifying, no one would dare to look down on Ming Gong? Why does Ming Gong need to win over them? At most, it can only be regarded as a reward for them."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"Okay! That's great! Who wants to be friends with me? I will reward him with a few and teach him a lot. If he doesn't know how to praise someone, why should I give him a good look?"

Boss Cao smiled appreciatively and said, "You are talented. This time I will not engage in such nonsense with you. After this batch of gold is calculated, you will get 20% first, and the rest will be classified as military pay. From now on, you and I will

People have made this rule. No matter how much gold is stolen, you will keep 20% of it. Are you satisfied?"

"Ming Gong is too polite. Liang doesn't have any big ambitions. He only needs enough to eat and drink. He really can't use so much."

Wu Liang quickly said with "sincerity and fear".

"That's the rule. If you refuse again, I won't believe you!"

Boss Cao immediately agreed, even with a hint of coercion in his tone, forcing him to accept it.

"This... then let Ming Gong temporarily store it here with Liang. If Ming Gong needs it in the future, he can just send someone to pick it up. Liang will never dare to hide it secretly."

Wu Liang said very "reluctantly".

"Besides these, do you have any other rewards you want?"

Boss Cao was getting excited and asked again.

"Ming Gong, I would like to return to Chenliu to live in the future."

Only then did Wu Liang reveal what he had planned before.

"Why is this?"

Boss Cao finally put away his smile and frowned slightly.

"Reporting to Duke Ming, Chenliu is bounded by Yuzhou to the south and Sili to the west. Those two places are the important birthplaces of the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. Therefore, there should be more ancient tombs left than other places. If you want to continue to explore the ancient tombs in the future,

The news is that this is the best base, and we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Wu Liang cupped his hands and said.

"I see. As I said last time, I will write to the imperial court to make you the prefect of Chenliu. What do you think?"

Boss Cao asked again.

"My Lord, please think twice. Chenliu is a strategic location. Both the defense of the city and the stability of the people are particularly important. The general does not know how to attack and defend, and he does not know how to ask for orders from the people. If he teaches the general to become the governor of Chenliu, I am afraid that

Don’t misunderstand public affairs!”

Wu Liang quickly declined, then thought for a moment, and said, "If Ming Gong really wants this, it would be better to order Mo General to be the county magistrate around Chenliu. On weekdays, General Mo will lead the Hu army to hide in the county and teach the soldiers."

We can cultivate some land and live in peace and contentment, and when we find out the news about the tomb, we can have no burden and drop everything at any time to serve the Ming Gong."

This is the welfare he strives for for the soldiers of the Hu People's Army.

In this troubled world, being able to have a field to grow some food, marry a daughter-in-law, have a few children, and multiply is already a good life that is hard to find for gods. What more can a husband ask for?

"Since you have this intention, I will take it upon myself to fulfill it."

Boss Cao pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

"Thank you Ming Gong for the reward."

Wu Liang quickly thanked him, and then he smiled and said, "In addition, the general has one more request."

"explain."

Boss Cao nodded.

Wu Liang said with some "embarrassment": "To be honest with you, I have heard that Zou, the wife of Dong Zhuo's old subordinate Zhang Ji, is beautiful, dignified, and considerate. She is a rare lady in the world. Duke Ming and the remnants of Dong Zhuo are incompatible with each other.

There will be a battle one day. Therefore, the general will boldly ask Ming Gong to agree to the general. If Ming Gong destroys Zhang Ji, please be sure to reward Zhang Ji's wife Zou to the general, and also teach the general to have a taste of this.

The taste of a lady..."

Wu Liang has started tricking Boss Cao again!

This is a routine learned from the painful lessons of Guan Erye.

He hoped that Boss Cao would resolve the matter between Lu Bu and Zhang Miao as soon as possible, deal with Dong Zhuo's old men as soon as possible, and also find the whereabouts of Thyme's father as soon as possible, so he used this routine.

Historically, Boss Cao could steal the wife that Mr. Guan was interested in, so naturally he could also steal the wife that he "favoured".

the most important is.

Boss Cao is the founder of "Cao Thief Disease".

Moreover, this Mrs. Zou was one of the wives stolen by Boss Cao in history. It can be seen that when Boss Cao saw this Mrs. Zou, he would definitely be unable to move or walk.

Therefore, it is not a big problem for Wu Liang to "go with the flow".

The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you must be careful about Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu and the "poisonous man" Jia Xu, and don't let Boss Cao, Cao Ang and Cao Zhen get involved as they did in history.

After all, Boss Cao doesn't have Dian Wei to protect him this time.

But at the same time, Boss Cao has a guardian like himself...

really.

"Mrs. Zou is really as beautiful, dignified and considerate as you said?"

Boss Cao's shrewd eyes instantly lit up, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes seemed to become rounder at this moment, and then he said sternly, "If you are really such a lady, I'm afraid it would be a bit abrupt to reward you with an item. This matter needs to be discussed further.

, but... that Dong Zhuo is a traitor that the whole world must punish. Now Dong Zhuo's remnant party still controls the government and harms the world. And since Zhang Ji is Dong Zhuo's old subordinate, he is also a traitor that everyone can punish. I will punish him quickly.
