Chapter 224 The Right Thing
Okay.Okay.

Although there are always one or two "beautiful" boys among the masses, for example, before Wang Yao's appearance was "disfigured", he was often ridiculed for his slightly neutral face, and there were even rumors that he was kept by the widows of noble ladies in Jingzhou, but...
Please, since you are both men, why are you two blushing?! Can you please stop making such a gesture that can be easily misunderstood?! Could it be that the "nerd culture" of Earth has also invaded this other world? ?

Here, Wang Yao was complaining in his heart, but Jiang Wei had already come over: "Well, let's not talk about this for now. Speaking of which, sir, where are we going?"

After being asked this question, Wang Yao suddenly came back to his senses, and his expression gradually became calm again: "Go and give some gold coins to some people."

Jiang Wei stood there in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

I finally borrowed a huge amount of gold coins from the military advisor, but now I have to give it away? What's going on?
Chen Mo was also confused, but his first thought was mostly negative. Because in his opinion, first borrowing money from others and then giving away the gold coins was a low-level and stupid behavior, just like the poor people showing off and flaunting their wealth.

Of course, these thoughts and contempt did not last long, because soon, the two found out that the person Wang Yao gave the gold coins to was actually.
This is a slightly old civilian house. Although it is relatively clean, it is filled with a smell of dust. Compared with ordinary homes, it lacks a bit of life.

At this time, in the slightly dim house, a pregnant woman with a slightly bulging belly was resting on a bamboo rocking chair. Seeing Wang Yao and two soldiers walking into the house, although she was a little surprised, she still stood up and asked politely: "Excuse me, who are you? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Wang Yao looked at the dignified young woman in front of him, bent down slightly and said softly: "Former captain of the Seventh Main Force, Wang Yao."

As soon as she finished speaking, it was as if she was slapped hard in the face. The young woman who was clearly very polite a second ago suddenly became a different person, and her face suddenly turned cold: "My husband is dead, what are you doing here?!"

Wang Yao paused, then said in a lower voice: "I came here today to give your family some gold coins for household expenses."

"Haha, no thanks, sir. Thank you for your kindness, but we are not worthy of it! Please get out of my house immediately!" The young woman smiled sadly, her grief evident in her words: "I didn't expect you to have the nerve to come to our house? Get out now, you are only dirtying this place by standing here!"

Wang Yao did not speak, but lowered his eyes, and did not move even when the young woman scolded him. On the other side, Chen Mo stood up and said indignantly, "Why are you like this? The adults are kind-hearted, and it would be fine if you don't appreciate it, but why are you so rude?"

"Bad?" The young woman sneered, then pointed at Wang Yao's nose with a look of resentment and cursed: "It was because of this man's ambition and willfulness that a thousand soldiers including my husband died in the enemy's position, and in the end they couldn't even bring back their bodies! Can such a person be called noble just by giving a little hypocritical charity?!"

Chen Mo was speechless for a moment. After all, he had never been to the Canyon Battlefield, and he had no idea what really happened in the Shu-Wei War that was reported in the "Canyon Gazette" some time ago. He had no basis for his thoughts.

Looking at the young woman with a face full of resentment, Wang Yao's face remained calm, but the light in his eyes was like a candle in the wind, shaking uncontrollably.

But in the face of the young woman's accusations, he finally did not make any excuses for the war. He just motioned Chen Mo beside him to hand over 10 gold coins and placed them on an old table next to him: "All the mistakes are mine. It is natural for you to hate me. Please accept these gold coins because I owe you."

"I'm telling you, there's no need for you to pretend here!" Amid the broken curses, the young woman was extremely angry. She grabbed the gold coins on the table and threw them all in Wang Yao's face.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells—

Golden coins fell one after another and scattered all over the ground.

The room was silent. After three seconds, Jiang Wei finally reacted and shouted angrily, "How dare you! Do you know who he is?"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Yao had already raised his hand to stop Jiang Wei, who had already put his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Without saying much, in front of Jiang Wei's astonished gaze, Wang Yao silently squatted down and began to pick up the gold coins scattered on the ground one by one. Chen Mo, who was stunned by the situation, also squatted down to help after reacting.

After a while, the gold coins were put on the table again, but because they were covered with a little dust, they did not look so golden anymore.

"Please take good care of yourself. You may not need these gold coins, but the baby in your belly will need them in the future."

Leaving these words behind, Wang Yao, with an expressionless face, led Jiang Wei and Chen Mo out of the bungalow where only the woman's sad cries were left.
Yes, the people to whom Wang Yao gave the gold coins were actually the families of all the soldiers of the former Seventh Main Force who died in the Wei State’s highlands!

After that, he visited three or four more families in succession. The situations were roughly the same. All the people he met were hostile to Wang Yao. In the end, Jiang Wei seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and said indignantly, "Sir, they humiliated you like this, aren't you angry? What on earth do you want by doing such a thankless task?!"

Chen Mo also shouted at the side: "That's right, from the past to now, I have never heard of a centurion who went to borrow money after the war and then gave consolation money to the families of the fallen soldiers!"

Amid the two soldiers' puzzled and indignant questions, Wang Yao remained silent for a long time before he asked, "Then let me ask you, if good people don't get good rewards, why should we be good people?"

"Uh, because..." Jiang Wei and Chen Mo couldn't answer for a moment.

Wang Yao smiled faintly and said, "Because, we insist on doing something not because there will be rewards for doing so, but because we firmly believe that it is the right thing to do!"

Can ten gold coins buy a life? No, because life is priceless, but doing so will at least make their families' lives better in the future. It has nothing to do with whether it is worth it or not, because in Wang Yao's view, insisting on doing the right thing does not require any high-sounding reasons.

Jiang Wei was silent, and so was Chen Mo. These thought-provoking words were so inspiring that they were deeply engraved in their minds. They stared blankly at Wang Yao, who was walking alone in front of them. Before they knew it, they suddenly realized that the determined back, facing the sun, was so dazzling.
"I think I finally understand why you admire him so much." Chen Mo said secretly to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei did not respond, but his gaze was even more scorching than before.

After that, everything started to go according to plan.

Just like before, wherever the three of them went, there was a gloomy atmosphere. The families who had lost their loved ones and children either mocked them or cursed them, and made things difficult for them. Some people even chased them away with a broom. But no matter how embarrassing the encounter was, Wang Yao still visited them one by one, and before leaving, he left 10 gold coins for each of them in a conspicuous corner.

During the whole process, Jiang Wei and Chen Mo, who were indignant at the beginning, did not speak a word, but just silently cooperated with Wang Yao. Perhaps in their opinion, what they were doing was right.
In this way, until late at night, Wang Yao barely managed to visit the residential addresses of all registered subordinates, but even so, there was still a box left with 1000 gold coins, because some soldiers were helpless in Jingzhou and had no relatives, such as Shi Liang Xiaoye and Maomao. Standing on the dimly lit street late at night, Wang Yao took the box handed over by Chen Mo and took out 10 gold coins from it and gave them to them: "You have worked hard today, you all go back and rest, these gold coins are just hard work fees."

10 gold coins are definitely not a small amount in the eyes of ordinary people. After all, the salary of an ordinary soldier is only 7 silver and 20 bronze coins a month.

Chen Mo's eyes lit up immediately. Holding a box full of gold coins, he would be lying if he said he wasn't envious. In addition, he was tired after a day of hunger and really wanted to buy some food. So he happily prepared to take the gold coins from Wang Yao's hand and even thought of the lines to compliment him. In the end, Jiang Wei forcibly stopped him and said, "It is an honor for us to serve you, sir. Please don't do this."

"Hey, Jiang Wei! It's fine if you don't want it, but why did you block my share?" Chen Mo immediately became unhappy and protested with her pink lips that were more sexy than a woman's.

"You don't usually have any expenses, why do you need so many gold coins?"

"To buy food."

"You only know how to eat! Okay, if you're hungry, I'll take you to eat something delicious later."

"Well, alright. But don't cheat when it comes to paying the bill!"

Speechlessly looking at the pair of homosexual soldiers with an ambiguous relationship in front of him, Wang Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In his heart, he just felt that gay culture is indeed eternal and has no boundaries in the world!

Having said that, he still said sternly afterwards: "Don't make me say it again, take it!"

Perhaps it was the sword scar on Wang Yao’s left eye, which looked quite scary against the night sky. Jiang Wei, who had originally insisted on refusing, finally took the gold coin under Wang Yao’s oppressive gaze.

But before leaving, Jiang Wei suddenly asked seriously and cautiously, "Sir, nine days ago, was it really you who insisted on leading the Seventh Main Force into the Wei Highlands?"

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he shook his head helplessly: "No."

In fact, it was not until today that Wang Yao discovered that he had long been notorious among his subordinates' families.

But it wasn't that surprising, because Wang Yao knew that this was just a way for the top brass to cover up their shame. After all, they couldn't tell the public that a hero deliberately led a thousand soldiers into the enemy's high ground and then escaped alone, right?

Someone had to take the blame for the annihilation of the thousand soldiers, so, although it was aggrieved, Wang Yao was indeed the scapegoat in this dark political struggle.

After getting the definite answer, Jiang Wei smiled and said nothing more. He just saluted respectfully towards Wang Yao, and then led Chen Mo away.

"Jiang Wei...? If he is trained well, maybe he will become a famous general like Wei Yan in the late Three Kingdoms period?" Looking at the two soldiers' receding backs, Wang Yao muttered to himself as if possessed by a ghost. He did not linger any longer and walked towards the direction of the pavilion while taking out the mobile phone in his arms.

At this time, it was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and when I opened the equipment purchase bar in the interface, I saw the gold coin balance in the upper right corner: 2120.

There are many more gold coins than expected, probably because the 990 gold coins in the box were stacked up?

Wang Yao was a little surprised, but he didn't care too much. Instead, he began to choose new equipment with great interest.

Currently, he only has two pieces of equipment left on him: Shadow Ninja Boots and Violent T-shirt. Since he has extra gold coins, Wang Yao will naturally make the best use of them.

If you have money but don't spend it, will it just gather dust?
Taking into account the mage-type heroes of the Wu and Wei countries, except for the Grand Commander, although all of them are beautiful women who can captivate the eyes of men, they are actually cruel and vicious people with amazing destructive power. In addition, he has never bought a magic defense equipment for such a long time, so this time, Wang Yao's target is focused on magic defense equipment.

There are only three high-level equipment that increase magic defense, namely the Witch's Cloak, the Eye of the Phoenix, and the Resurrection Armor. If you insist on adding intermediate equipment, there are also the Resistance Boots and the more alternative Demon-Breaking Knife.

The Demon-Breaking Sword and the Boots of Resistance are not in Wang Yao's plan for the time being, and the Resurrection Armor is not needed for the time being, so these three items are eliminated first, and the last one to be eliminated is the Witch's Cloak.

Why a witch's cloak?

The reason is very simple. Compared with those film and television characters who need to be packaged, it is impossible for soldiers who charge into battle and fight with the enemy at all times to wear long cloaks on the battlefield in reality.

Wearing a cloak will make it difficult to perform some difficult movements, which will easily affect one's mobility. Moreover, it will be easy to be caught and restrained by the enemy during the battle. This is the same reason why soldiers must have a flat head and wear tight and neat clothes.

To sum up, Wang Yao clicked the button to buy the "Eye of the Phoenix" without thinking twice.

then
"Hmm? Uh uh.?!!"

According to later descriptions from nearby residents, that night, residents in the area south of Jingzhou City suddenly heard a roar similar to that of a demon in the middle of the night. Everyone who heard it was terrified, and even babies were frightened by the shrill and terrifying howling and cried uncontrollably.

People locked their doors and windows in fear, thinking that demons from outside the city had broken into the city, and they didn't even dare to go out of the front door.

When the patrolling soldiers were alerted and rushed over frantically, people only saw a black shadow with a strangely bright dark red eye, which staggered out of the darkness and quickly disappeared into the vast night like a ghost.
　Well, if you have time, please help me support the little soldier in the battle for the top ranking in the interface. Although I am unknown, the most important thing is to participate, and it seems that the friends who participate can also share 10 Q coins. Also, it is not easy to write, it is Monday, please recommend and vote for the monthly ticket.
