Chapter 2205 Rules
Du Quan said respectfully: "The governor is a cultivator from the Du family, and I am from a branch of the Du family."

Strictly speaking, the main family and the side branches are still members of the same clan.

Lu Ye understood and looked up at him: "What's the matter?"

Du Quan smiled and said, "I am here to collect the spoils of war on the orders of the garrison commander!"

"What do you mean?" Lu Ye frowned.

Wang Xun standing by couldn't help it any longer, and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, he wants us to pay 20% of the spoils of this battle!"

Du Quan said quickly, "Brother, please don't speak nonsense. It's not me, Du Quan, who wants your spoils. This is the rule set by the town guard. Twenty percent of all the spoils in this stronghold belong to the town guard. I am just following orders to collect them."

Wang Xun was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "How can there be such a rule?"

Du Quan squinted at him and said, "You are ignorant. Lord Du Feng is the garrison commander of this stronghold. He is not only the strongest combat force but also a guarantee and a deterrent to the outside world. In the war, the garrison commander contributed the most. Isn't he entitled to his own spoils? Although the garrison commander is a Taoist, he also needs to practice and needs Taoist power to maintain his own strength. If everyone is unwilling to surrender like you, then if the enemy attacks again, how can the garrison commander exert his strength? The Taoist power of the garrison commander does not come out of thin air."

Wang Xun was furious at what he said, but somehow he felt that there was some truth in what he said. He wanted to refute but didn't know where to start.

He tended to be reckless and not very thoughtful. He held it in for a long time before saying, "Anyway, I have never heard of such a rule."

Yang Mingfang said, "In the major war zones, many garrisons have indeed set such rules. Brother Wang has always been in Lanshui, so you must have never heard of it. After all, it is rare to see a garrison like Lord Ziying who cares about his subordinates."

Wang Xun turned around angrily and looked at him: "Which side are you from?"

Yang Mingfang smiled slightly, without explaining, and looked at Du Quan: "But as far as I know, basically the rules set by the major garrisons only require 10% of the spoils to be handed over. Why do we need 20% here?"

Du Quan said calmly, "Your Excellency consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle, and it is not easy for you to recover. So you have to take 10% more. From what you just said, you are a reasonable person. You should know that if there is another strong enemy attacking, the stronghold will have to be defended by Master Du Feng. He must recover his strength as soon as possible."

Yang Mingfang sneered: "If a strong enemy really attacks, will our garrison commander still have the courage to fight?"

Du Quan's face changed and he shouted in a low voice: "How dare you!" He also knew that Du Feng's previous escape when he saw the situation was not good was a stain. The stronghold has been defended now, this matter can be a big deal or a small one, but if the stronghold is lost, he will have to bear the responsibility.

Yang Mingfang said calmly: "If the garrison commander had fought to the death and had the intention to protect his subordinates, we would have been willing to accept the spoils. After all, with Rong Dao in charge, we do feel more secure. But everyone knows why we were able to win today's battle, but it has nothing to do with the garrison commander. And you, don't forget who you are because of to keep you alive now."

Du Quan said coldly: "I will never forget your life-saving grace. I believe that all the Taoist friends in the stronghold are grateful to you, but you don't really think that the town guard has no credit for killing Rong Dao, right?"

Wang Xun was surprised: "I don't remember the town guard showing up when the insect Rong Dao died!"

Du Quan nodded: "Yes, the garrison commander was not present at the time, but if the garrison commander had not fought a desperate battle with the Zerg Rong Dao, how could the Zerg be in such a spent force? You were able to defeat the strong with the weak and kill Rong Dao, wasn't it because of the foundation laid by the garrison commander?"

Du Feng had just said this to a few of his close associates. Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed right.

At that time, after seeing the Zerg Rong Dao being killed, Du Quan and others were filled with shock and surprise at surviving a calamity, and did not think too much about it. But after listening to Du Feng's words, they realized that the Heyi Camp had picked up a big bargain. The Zerg Rong Dao was too careless, thinking that he was insolent because of his high level, otherwise he would not have died at the hands of a group of Daoists.

So even if he was grateful for the kindness of the Heyi Camp, it would not prevent him from coming to collect the spoils, not to mention that this was Du Feng's order.

These words left Wang Xun and others speechless, because from the perspective of all the monks in the stronghold, what Du Quan said seemed... to be correct!

The battle with Rong Dao only lasted a moment, and then the opponent died, as if he was vulnerable.

For a moment, he couldn't help but doubt, could it be that he and others really got a great advantage, and the Zerg Rong Dao was really at the end of its strength?
Only Lu Ye knew that the opponent was not a spent force at all. The reason why Rong Dao died was entirely because of the disparity in strength.

Besides, how could he vomit out what he had eaten? The Dao bones he had received from the profit share had been almost refined, so even if Du Feng wanted them, he couldn't give them to him.

"Commander Lu." Seeing that Wang Xun and the others were silent, Du Quan looked at Lu Ye and said with a fist: "I am just following orders. Commander Lu, please don't make it difficult for me."

Lu Ye hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."

Having said this, he took out a few Taoist bones from his storage ring and handed them to him.

Du Quan stared at it in a daze.

Lu Ye said: "During the battle, our Heyi Camp charged first and was only concerned with killing the enemy. We did not collect much spoils of war. These are only 20% of our total gains."

Since these are the rules set by the town, there is nothing wrong with following them.

Anyway, only the people within the Heyi Camp know how much spoils there are. Du Quan doesn't know, and it is impossible for him to take out everyone's storage ring to check.

Du Quan was dumbfounded.

Wang Xun, Yang Mingfang and others on the side were trying not to laugh. They did not expect Lu Ye to respond like this. He dismissed a few Taoist bones like stray dogs begging for food.

"Commander Lu!" Du Quan's face turned cold. "I can't report like this!"

Even if he didn't know how much the Heyi Camp had gained, it couldn't be just this much. What was the point of just a few Dao Bones?

"Just report truthfully." Lu Ye looked at him indifferently. When he saw that he didn't want to take it, he threw the Taoist bone directly at his feet and closed his eyes.

It's more like sending away a stray dog ​​begging for food!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Du Quan's face turned blue and red, but he didn't dare to say anything in the end. He bent down to pick up the pieces of Taoist bones, snorted coldly and left.

"Commander." Wang Xun had just been shouting at Du Quan, but now he was a little nervous, "Will this offend Du Feng?"

Lu Ye opened his eyes and looked at him: "Are you willing to pay 20% of the spoils?"

Wang Xun shook his head like a rattle, covering his storage ring: "We fought hard for that, but Du Feng was a coward and fled. Now that we have secured the stronghold, he comes back to command with prestige. I might as well feed him the Dao bone."

"That's right." Lu Ye's expression was calm. "As for offending him... The Crane Wing Camp was established by Lord Ziying, and we are Lord Ziying's men. This time, Fengtai's military situation was urgent, so we just came to support him."

Wang Xun's eyes lit up: "Yes, we are Lord Ziying's men, not his subordinates!"

According to the original itinerary, the Heyi Camp was supposed to rush to reunite with Ziying, but was temporarily transferred over to support from the Huangquan War Star.

Lu Ye had asked Ziying about this matter, and Huang Quan had also informed her about it.

Therefore, Lu Ye was certain that they would not be able to stay here for long. After the situation stabilized, they would leave here and go to meet Ziying, and then serve under her.

So it doesn't matter whether he offends Du Feng or not, and Lu Ye is not afraid of offending such a Rong Dao. To put it bluntly, for him now, a Rong Dao like Du Feng really doesn't matter to him.

As he spoke, Wang Xun thought of something else: "Du Feng deserted the battlefield. If the base had really been lost, it would have been fine. But now that the base has been defended, once the Yellow Springs War Star learns of this, they will definitely blame him!"

Lu Ye said calmly: "The details of the battle report were drafted by him as the garrison commander, so naturally he can say whatever he wants."

Although they had never met directly, Lu Ye had a rough idea of ​​what kind of person Du Feng was just from Du Quan's style of doing things.

How could such a person report the battle truthfully? The military intelligence obtained by Huang Quan was most likely that Du Feng was extremely brave and led the troops to fight. He not only defended the stronghold, but also killed a Rong Dao of the other side.

Wang Xun was stunned: "Isn't he afraid of being exposed? Huang Quan will definitely send someone to verify the details of the battle."

There are quite a few people at the Fengtai stronghold, and not all of them are Du Feng's confidants. Once Huangquan sends people to verify the war, they will only need a little investigation to know the real situation of the war.

"So what if he is exposed." Lu Ye said slowly, "After all, he is a Rong Dao. Even if Huang Quan knew about it, they would just let him make amends for his crime. Besides... who among the cultivators in the stronghold dares to offend him?"

If you offend Rong Dao while in the stronghold, you will die without knowing how you died.

"That's true!" Wang Xun nodded, then said angrily, "This is too shady. It's more fun to work under Master Ziying."

Yang Mingfang shook his head and said, "It is rare to see a guard like Lord Ziying. Nowadays, the noble families are rampant in the war alliance, and most of them are selfish."

"Okay, everyone should rest and quickly refine the Dao bones in your hands." Lu Ye said.

Everyone then hurriedly dispersed.

They had just experienced a great battle, in which the enemy even lost a Rong Dao. Before the Insect Mother came up with a suitable response, there would not be any big moves. For the cultivators in all the strongholds, this was a rare moment of leisure.

Although it is not possible to go into battle and kill enemies to obtain Dao bones, one can still gain Dao power through hard practice, but the efficiency is much slower.

Lu Ye refined the few remaining Dao bones in his hands and entered a state of arduous training.
