Hearing those words.
Not only did Red Girl freeze.
Even the three brothers from Constant Victory Mountain were stunned.
They had never encountered someone demanding payment before joining up.
After all, the bandits of Constant Victory Mountain were infamous.
Ordinary people wouldn't dare offend them.
If they encountered these bandits, even if they had to scrimp and save, they would still have to smile and serve these "lords" well.
After all.
Although Constant Victory Mountain had a big reputation.
To put it bluntly, they were just a band of bandits.
They were indeed making a living by robbing tombs.
But they weren't strangers to robbery either.
So, they came here just to ask for help, and they didn't think about any travel expenses.
Besides...
They intended to bring him up the mountain today.
"Brother Zhang, we came here to invite you to join us, we didn't prepare any travel expenses!"
Red Girl spoke politely.
"Going up the mountain now? Forget it, I'm not ready to be a bandit yet!"
Zhang Chen immediately shook his head.
Red Girl's eyebrows furrowed.
The three brothers were also slightly angry.
However...
Having witnessed his hidden weapon skills, they didn't dare speak up.
They just looked at the Second-in-Command, waiting to see what she would do.
"We are Dismantling Force warriors, we don't engage in those bandit activities, don't treat everyone like bandits!"
Red Girl was a little indignant.
Although she had joined the bandits.
But she hadn't actually robbed any villages.
Her goal was to rob tombs, to support these hundreds of thousands of brothers.
"Really?"
Zhang Chen didn't believe it.
In these days, even ordinary people couldn't be called good citizens.
You gather at Constant Victory Mountain to be bandits, I don't believe you haven't done anything bad.
Seeing his expression, Red Girl immediately got a little irritated.
However...
He couldn't be blamed.
In fact, Red Girl knew it herself.
In name, there were indeed rules against robbery and harassment of the people.
But did they really never do anything?
They were all mixing in the Jianghu, who didn't have blood on their hands?
Those who died, were they all supposed to die?
However, none of this mattered.
She thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to come up the mountain with me, but since you agreed, just wait, when the time comes, I'll personally come and take you with me!"
“As for travel expenses?”
Red Girl rolled her eyes at him, "From here to our place, even if you walk, it will be a half-day trip, we are looking for you to make money together, if we succeed, the treasures in the tomb will naturally be yours!"
Zhang Chen looked at her as she spoke incessantly.
He smiled, "You're out of money, aren't you?"
Red Girl: "..."
Seeing her getting heated again.
Zhang Chen added fuel to the fire, "Red Girl, you are the Second-in-Command, you don't even carry money when you go out?"
Red Girl glared at him, slapped the table, and stood up.
"Damn, don't provoke her, you'll be in trouble if you can't get out of this!"
Zhang Chen secretly thought he was reckless.
Why bother teasing her when he had nothing to do?
Right now, his cultivation was the most important thing.
But to his surprise.
After Red Girl stood up, she glared but didn't say anything harsh.
She didn't even attack... because she couldn't beat him anyway.
Instead, she rolled up her sleeves and took off the gold bracelet on her wrist.
"Keep it for now, I'll take it back later!"
Red Girl said.
The three brothers behind her were stunned.
This gold bracelet... was her father's gift to her.
He said it was for her dowry.
It was a treasure.
Even when they were poor in the past, she never took it off.
Today, she gave it to him?
You still say your relationship is ordinary?
"Uh..."
Zhang Chen was a little embarrassed.
This joke went too far.
But he couldn't refuse now.
"Okay!"
Zhang Chen took the gold bracelet and said, "Red Girl, don't worry, I'll wait for you here!"
Red Girl nodded, turned around and said, "Let's go!"
Then she took the three brothers and left directly.
Watching them go.
Zhang Chen touched the gold bracelet, still warm.
He muttered to himself, "It's pretty heavy, pure gold, it must be worth ten big silver dollars!"
...
Red Girl's face was very dark.
The three brothers behind her didn't dare say a word.
Everyone could see that the Second-in-Command was really irritated by that kid.
But strangely.
The Second-in-Command, who usually hated evil and had clear distinctions between right and wrong, had been repeatedly outsmarted by that kid, yet she hadn't even thought of killing him.
Maybe she really had some ideas?
Of course, they weren't stupid enough to ask.
Red Girl was genuinely angry at this moment.
She was feeling frustrated and couldn't help but think, "Is everyone who is good at something so difficult to deal with?"
...
As dusk approached.
Old Li, with his dry pipe in his mouth, came back in a leisurely way.
He didn't forget Zhang Chen.
He also brought back a lot of food.
Zhang Chen was used to it.
Old Li was that kind of person.
When he had money, he was generous.
He also liked to eat and drink.
However...
This trip wasn't just for fun and food.
He went to the market to custom order some throwing darts, following Zhang Chen's instructions.
This small place couldn't make anything special.
Most of them made throwing darts and needles, simple throwing weapons.
But because they were heavy, they were much more effective than the previous embroidery needles and nails.
And there wasn't much technical content in making these things.
Old Li had been gone for a day.
He had already brought them back.
He placed the basket on the table.
Old Li said, "Thirty-six throwing knives and seventy-two throwing needles, all of them are weighted, it cost two silver dollars!"
"There's no other way, that's the price nowadays!"
Zhang Chen said, then excitedly took out the throwing knives and needles.
Besides those, Old Li also bought some leather.
He planned to make a bag for him to put his throwing weapons in.
This way, he could hang it on the inside of his clothes and use it anytime, very convenient.
Zhang Chen took the throwing knives and needles and examined them.
He felt they were very heavy in his hand, they really were made of good materials.
Otherwise, they wouldn't cost two silver dollars.
He picked up a needle.
With a flick of his wrist, "whoosh", the needle shot out.
"Ding", it nailed itself into the corner of the stone.
Old Li went over to take a look, good heavens, only the tail of the needle remained.
"Good boy, your hidden weapon skills have improved!"
Old Li was overjoyed.
"They feel pretty good!"
Zhang Chen nodded.
"Ah, it's a pity, you have such great martial arts skills, but you haven't found any good work!"
Old Li took two puffs of his pipe and said, "This tomb robber business, that's a way to make a living, why don't we try it?"
"Sure, as long as Li Uncle finds me work to do!"
Zhang Chen smiled.
"Ah, forget it, there are too many strange things underground, I, Old Li, will just stick to my own work, if I die down there, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
Old Li said.
Zhang Chen thought for a moment and told him about his trip to Bottle Mountain.
Old Li was startled and said, "Kid, have you thought it through? The tombs that Dismantling Force warriors have their eyes on, are usually not small, but they are also incredibly dangerous, don't be impulsive!"
