Throne of Vientiane Civilization

After briefly talking about how to deal with the three people, Zhou Xu directly motioned for them to retreat.

After leaving Zhou Xu's residence, Zhou Chongshan turned around and received the reward of 1,000 yuan, divided it into three parts and gave them to Ye Jinghong and Li Ce.

Seeing this, the two waved their hands and refused.

"This is a reward given to you by the leader, how can you share it with us?"

"And just like the leader said, you did the most credit this time. There is no doubt about it. You deserve this reward."

Seeing the two of them singing along, Zhou Chongshan was speechless, and then without any explanation, he stuffed the divided money into their arms.

"Since the leader has rewarded me, I have the power to deal with it. You two, just take it and go back and think about it behind closed doors!"

Seeing Zhou Chongshan stuffing the rewards into their arms and running away, Li Ce and Ye Jinghong couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

As the two people in the village who were relatively good at using their brains, they definitely understood what their leader meant better than Zhou Chongshan.

Their leader actually had no intention of punishing them, but after so many people died this time, an explanation must be given, so they came here specifically to plead guilty, hoping that the leader would punish them, which was considered as active cooperation.

For them, the fine is actually the lightest punishment.

Let them "close themselves up and think about their mistakes". To put it bluntly, let them go back and recuperate, and don't run around when they have nothing to do. What kind of punishment can this essentially be considered?

Going forward, it is normal for Zhou Chongshan to be rewarded for his merits, but a thousand coins is too much.

In this era, a normal day's expenditure for a villager under Zhou Xu's command was between one and three cents. Five hundred cents was a large sum of money, and a thousand cents was not an exaggeration.

It's not that their leader should reward them less, but if they reward them more, excluding daily food and drink, the extra money will have no place to spend, which will reduce the value of the reward and thus have an impact on the act of 'rewarding'. .

But this thousand dollars is very reasonable if you consider that Li Ce and Ye Jinghong had just had their salaries deducted.

Did Zhou Chongshan understand what their leader meant?

Li Ce and Ye Jinghong felt that there was a high probability that there was no such thing.

Although Zhou Chongshan's brain is very fast when it comes to learning and mastering weapons and fighting, his brain is not that easy to use at ordinary times.

It's just that this guy's character was manipulated by their leader.

The leader expected that Zhou Chongshan would give the money to Li Ce and Ye Jinghong even if he didn't understand what he meant.

It's just that they really didn't intend to take it, but they two wounded people couldn't stand Zhou Chongshan and ran away after being blocked.

"Is this guy strong enough?"

Seeing Zhou Chongshan's running back, Ye Jinghong couldn't help but complain.

Not to mention running away now, even if he walks faster, he feels unbearable pain all over his body, and the wounds that he just stopped bleeding are starting to bleed again.

Zhou Xu definitely doesn't have to worry about things here.

Since Prairie Village only started to operate normally after noon today, although there was nothing for him to deal with when he fell asleep in the morning, in the afternoon, some affairs were reported to him one after another.

By the time he was done with it, the day had basically passed.

"Chief, the injuries of all the wounded in the village have basically stabilized. There is no risk of death. It depends on them how well they can recover."

On a new day, sitting at his desk, Zhou Xuzheng was patiently listening to the report of the medical minister here.

"Are there enough medicinal materials here in Prairie Village?"

"Reporting to the leader, we have made preparations in advance before winter. For now, the medicinal materials are completely sufficient."

"That's good."

Zhou Xu nodded.

"Keep an eye on the wounded and try not to leave them with any sequelae."

"yes!"

After watching the medical minister leave, Zhou Xu, whose work had come to an end temporarily, stretched his muscles, put on his fur coat, and walked out the door.

It was still snowing outside the door. Over the past few days, the snow and wind were gradually getting stronger.

Letting out a breath of hot breath, Zhou Xu looked at the flying snow in the sky and walked away for a while.

"It's almost time for me to leave, but before that..."

He couldn't say he was unfamiliar with this situation. He had just experienced it last winter, and a snowstorm was brewing in front of him.

He wanted to leave Prairie Village before the blizzard came.

It's not that he intended to avoid disaster, but he had other things to do this winter and couldn't be trapped here in Prairie Village.

For this reason, he has sent Chitose every day these days to look for traces of lizard people on the grassland.

For several days in a row, Chitose returned without success every day.

Logically speaking, it would not be that easy for a troop of that size, with a behemoth-level beast, to hide without being discovered.

According to Chitose's investigative abilities, if he couldn't be found for several days in a row, there was a high probability that he really left.

This result undoubtedly made Zhou Xu greatly relieved.

Judging from this situation, at least they can spend this winter safely.

After all, according to normal thinking, when the opponent destroyed the elven villages, but failed to locate their positions and made the decision to withdraw their troops, there was no need to come again in this troublesome season.

The other side also needs to recuperate and wait until next spring to launch troops. This approach will undoubtedly be safer.

On this day, Chitose still came back before dark. Just like the previous few days, it returned without success.

This made Zhou Xu completely convinced of the previous conclusion, and they at least got a chance to breathe.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu didn't hesitate and turned directly to look at the entourage waiting aside.

"Go and call Zhou Chongshan, Ye Jinghong and Li Ce over."

"yes!"

In response, the attendant hurried to deliver the order.

Under the premise that the leader took the initiative to summon them, the previous punishment of 'contemplating one's mistakes behind closed doors' was naturally lifted by default.

After a few days of adequate rest, although their injuries could not be healed, their physical and mental states had recovered well.

In fact, this year, Zhou Xu spent most of his time away from Prairie Village. Everything in Prairie Village was basically left to Ye Jinghong and Li Ce to handle everything.

He has been familiar with this matter for two years, and now Zhou Xu actually doesn't have much to tell him.

"Anyway, if nothing else happens, I will leave Prairie Village early tomorrow morning. From now on, I will leave the affairs here to you. Please be careful in everything."

Having said this, Zhou Xu paused and waved to Chitose beside him.

"Even in the wind and snow, Chitose has excellent mobility. You can ask Chitose for help with some things. It can understand."

After saying that, Zhou Xu turned to look at Chitose who walked in front of him.

"Chitose, as usual, after I leave, I will leave the village to you."

"Ouch~"
