I [Imperial] Am This Type of Man
Chapter 24 Subduing the Slave Leader
Caroline and old Robert were packed away together.
In this chaotic age, once we part, we don't know whether we can still meet each other.If old Robert could accept this kind of thing, how could Ji Jinrong survive!
Ji Jinrong said goodbye to Madam Lisa.
Mrs. Lisa's three children hugged Ji Jinrong to prevent him from leaving. Ji Jinrong picked them up one by one and kissed them on the cheek.This place has not been affected by the flames of war, and the days are still peaceful. The three children are all cleaned up, which is very pleasing.Ji Jinrong said: "The wheat in your family is very good, and even the birds are very fond of it. If you are hungry, you can catch the birds according to the method I taught. Whether you make soup or roast it, it tastes good."
The three children had tears in their eyes, hugged Ji Jinrong and kissed Ji Jinrong from left to right, very reluctant to part with it.
The friendship of children is so simple, if you treat them well, they will miss you.
Ji Jinrong returned them to their mother.
He noticed that the young man was growing impatient.
The young man seemed to be very prestigious in the Free Army, he didn't pursue Mrs. Lisa's taking in nobles, and no one else saw it either.
Ji Jinrong obediently followed behind the soldiers, following the young man towards the outside of the village.
It was the first time he had gone outside since waking up.
It has not snowed for a long time, and the snow on the ground has begun to melt, and brown land is faintly exposed in the distance.Ji Jinrong had a keen sense of smell, and felt that there was a completely unfamiliar smell in the air.This is definitely not the continent he is familiar with, even the feeling of breathing is different.It's really a completely different world!
When he arrived outside the village, Ji Jinrong saw the people brought by the young man.
They were all cavalry.
It is really not easy for this man to have so many horse resources.It's just that this person looks a little weak, not like a person who can fight.Look, everyone else is only wearing military uniforms, but he is the only one wearing a tunic.
When he got outside, someone gave him a cloak——people who don't know must think this guy is a pampered nobleman!
Who the hell is this guy?
Ji Jinrong found that he could only deduce the general situation, but could not determine the specific identity of a certain person.
He still knows too little about this era.
Ji Jinrong watched the soldiers lead out their horses one by one, and stood there looking at the young man.The young man appointed three people and said, "Take them with you."
Ji Jinrong frowned.He took a step back and said to Caroline, "I'll discuss it with him, and I'll take you." No matter how Caroline doesn't think of herself as a girl, it's not good to ride with these guys, for a girl It's too bad.
What if the guy found out that Caroline was a daughter?Ji Jinrong instantly entered the "parent" state.
Seeing Ji Jinrong's serious face, Caroline nodded obediently.
Ji Jinrong stepped forward and said, "My sister and I will ride a horse."
The young man's eyes swept over Ji Jinrong and Caroline.
He snorted coldly: "Get on the horse!"
Ji Jinrong heaved a sigh of relief, let Caroline get on the horse first, and then himself.Seeing this scene, old Robert wanted to say something, but when he saw Caroline's rarely obedient appearance, he restrained himself and got on another horse.
These days are the days when Caroline is the most unsuitable for riding a horse. In order to make Caroline more comfortable, Ji Jinrong almost frees up one hand to protect Caroline along the way.Even so, Caroline still felt a little weak when she got there.
At this time, Caroline hated herself for being a girl!
Ji Jinrong carried Caroline off the horse in a gentlemanly manner, and only after Caroline recovered did he let Caroline stand upright.
Now Caroline only has the word "worship" for Ji Jinrong.
so amazing!
Great riding skills and great arm strength!
She must emulate her "brother"!
The young man had already dismounted and stood where he was.
He looked at Ji Jinrong and Caroline coldly, feeling that the brother and sister were so close that it was unbearable.The older one took care of the younger one in every possible way; the younger one looked up at the older one with admiration, but his admiration was not written on his face.
Young men usually hate contact with people the most, but when he saw Ji Jinrong hugging that girl, he felt violent in his heart to kill that girl.
He always felt that-
He always felt that it should belong to him.
Ji Jinrong knew that in a short time, his fate would be determined by the man in front of him.He motioned for Caroline to stay with old Robert, and with a smile on his face, he asked the young man sincerely: "My lord, I don't know where we should live?"
The young man asked without answering, "Where do you think you should live?"
Ji Jinrong's heart skipped a beat.
He said politely: "Although we have concealed our identities, we should not go to prison."
The young man looked at Ji Jinrong's face, it was obviously delicate and beautiful, but it looked inexplicably heroic.It was a boy's face, but there was an unfathomable depth under those beautiful eyes.
This is no ordinary nobleman.
He's pretty sure of that.
It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary nobleman to learn how to use a stone mill, cook food, and do rough work—only ambitious people can endure what others cannot bear!
The free army has developed to the present, and it will no longer target all nobles.If there are available people among the nobles, the Free Army will also accept them.It's just that I don't know how big this boy's ambition is, whether he will be another Duke William.
Fortunately, this boy is still young and immature in doing things.
For example, this young man thinks that he can hide his noble status very well, but he doesn't know that his words and deeds are full of flaws.Sometimes the more you do and the more you show, the more likely you are to show your feet.If he were this young man, he would definitely not show off his culinary skills, nor would he eagerly reveal all his cards.
The word "urgent" is enough to destroy all his pretense.
The young man said, "It's not like going to jail—"
Before the young man could finish speaking, a boy of eighteen or nineteen ran over with obvious joy on his face: "Arthurs, you're back!"
The young man frowned slightly, and looked at the boy who was running towards him.That was his uncle's son, a military doctor who had just "leaved the army", and also a "prayer", responsible for praying for the army and treating the wounded.He has a teacher with superb medical skills, and he is the pride of heaven that everyone holds in the palm of his hand.
His parents, grandparents, and uncles all died in the war, and this young man was his only relative.
In the entire Freedom Army, only this boy can call him "Arthurs".
Obviously, he doesn't dislike this at ordinary times, but at this moment, an unspeakable uneasiness filled his heart.
He raised his head and looked at Ji Jinrong.
For some reason, he felt that the strong uneasiness in his heart was related to Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong just felt puzzled.
That young man looked at "Arthurs" with eyes full of admiration, why did this guy look at him instead.
He really likes this young man, look, as soon as this child came out, he let him know the young man's name——
Arthurs!
Ji Jinrong didn't hear Mrs. Lisa mention it, and only felt that although this person had quite a status in the Free Army, he wasn't considered the most powerful one.
I heard that the leader of the Freedom Army is called Eric.
Ji Jinrong smiled shyly at Arthurs.
With such a young man by his side, maybe this guy will be easier to talk to?Ji Jinrong seized the time to ask: "My lord, we—"
Before Ji Jinrong finished speaking, the boy was already looking at him warily.
The boy asked, "Who are you?"
The boy's tone was aggressive, like a little animal protecting its food.Ji Jinrong wasn't angry when he heard this, but felt that the world is full of wonders. This Arthurs has such a weird temper, and someone likes him so much—so much that he thinks that others are here to rob him!
Ji Jinrong said sincerely: "We are just ordinary fugitives."
Then the general who had gone to the village in the morning appeared.
Seeing Ji Jinrong, the general was a little surprised, walked over and said, "My lord brought you back?" He offered a treasure to the boy beside Arthur, "Moore, this is the magical boy I just told you about. The adults drank the soup he made! It’s just ordinary mushrooms and birds, but the broth is very delicious, no wonder even the adults drank it!”
Ji Jinrong got a lot of information from this passage.
That "Arthurs" has had a bad appetite lately -- or for a long time.Otherwise, this guy wouldn't be so excited because "Arthurs" drank a little soup.
Moreover, the general likes this boy named "Moore".
Otherwise, he would not ignore the presence of outsiders and say such words that revealed the weakness of his chief.
It's a pity that More seems to like Arthurs.
It's really messy enough.
Ji Jinrong thought it was a little funny.
The Freedom Army obviously started as a slave, but this Arthur has such a ridiculous weakness as "can't eat"!No wonder his body looks a little weak, can a person not be weak without eating?
Ji Jinrong stood there calmly, not intending to go to that "triangular minefield" for a thunderstorm.
The boy named Moore turned his head and looked at Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong obediently let Moore look at him.
Moore heard the general finish the whole matter, and made the decision for Arthurs: "Since you have such a good skill, you can stay here with Arthurs. As long as you do it well for Arthurs Me, we won’t pursue you for concealing your identities.” He somewhat looked down on Ji Jinrong and the others, so he asked someone to take Ji Jinrong down immediately.
Seeing that Arthurs had no objection, and he didn't look at Ji Jinrong and the others, Moore was very happy.He talked to Arthur with great interest: "Arthur, the teacher has developed a cure for the plague!"
Ji Jinrong was about to follow the soldiers to see his next residence, when he heard what Moore said, his eyes moved.
He also has prescriptions in his system, but he has no chance to get in touch with everything outside, and he doesn't know how the epidemic is going.If the capable people of this era have developed a good prescription, he doesn't have to think about it anymore - he has no foundation in this world, even if he has the best prescription, it won't help.
However, if he had the opportunity, he could contact this teacher of Moore to see if the prescription developed by the old gentleman really worked.
The common people are the most innocent.
Regardless of whether the Freedom Army wants to treat plague patients to win the hearts of the people or for other reasons, it is always a good thing to do it.
Much better than the Duke William who deliberately spread the plague and turned Fort Hollow into a "city of death".
Ji Jinrong made up his mind and followed the soldiers into Arthurs' residence.This house is large, but not extravagant, and the furnishings and layout are very simple.The three of Ji Jinrong were arranged in the same room, and there were three neatly arranged beds in it, obviously it was a place for servants to live - exactly three people in one room.
Ji Jinrong comforted Caroline: "I have wronged you for the time being, don't worry, it won't be like this forever."
Caroline was not the kind of little girl who needed to be coaxed.
She smiled: "My brother doesn't feel wronged, why am I wronged!" She rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll clean up the house."
Ji Jinrong said, "I'll come too."
Old Robert wanted to object, but when he saw that Caroline and Ji Jinrong both started to move neatly, he swallowed his words silently.You may not even be able to save your life, so what does it matter about the dignity of the nobility!
The three of them worked together to tidy up the room. Caroline wiped the sweat from her forehead and snorted, "Everyone said how good the Freedom Army is, but I don't think it's that good. We didn't do anything bad, so they arrested us." Come and let us work for nothing..."
Ji Jinrong smiled: "Don't worry, I'll discuss the salary with the supervisor later, and I will never give them free work!"
Caroline: "..."
Seeing that Ji Jinrong was smiling, she didn't feel uncomfortable, and she was inexplicably happy: "Yes! We won't cook for them if they don't pay!"
Ji Jinrong reached out and rubbed Caroline's head.
Soon, a big man knocked on their door.The big man's rough voice came from outside: "It's work! It's time to prepare lunch. Don't just come here and try to be lazy!"
This is really treating them like workers.
This was the first time Ji Jinrong encountered such a thing.
He doesn't feel angry.He knows that this era is a "slave society", which means that slaves have no human rights in this era.Relatively speaking, the "hiring" system is a huge improvement!
In the free army, slaves are not allowed, so all the workers in this place work with wages, and if they want to resign, they can receive their wages and go home at any time.
It doesn't seem like a big difference, but it means a lot.
To put it simply, a slave is not a person, but a hired worker is an independent person—
They are free.
They can choose their employers, and they can earn money to support their families with their own hands.
Pay the labor by yourself, and then get the corresponding money——
There is nothing shameful about this kind of thing.
He is not an emperor or an aristocrat now, and it is very lucky to be able to eat with his own hands.
Ji Jinrong comforted the angry old Robert, and led Caroline to the kitchen.
Old Robert was sad for a while, and hurried to the kitchen to help Ji Jinrong.
Caroline was flexible in her hands and feet, and was quickly assigned to chop vegetables.
She moved neatly and beautifully, leaving others stunned.
Compared with Caroline's outstanding performance, Ji Jinrong seemed much more low-key.It was the first time he came into contact with the "big kitchen" of this era, and he was not very good at using many kitchen utensils, so he sincerely asked other "old people" for advice.
Like eating this, Ji Jinrong has an extraordinary talent.He has a good nose, so he can tell if the ingredients are new and how to make them delicious as soon as he passes them by.
Soon, Ji Jinrong and Caroline conquered the entire kitchen.
Even though they are using the same ingredients and the same boiler, the kitchen will be full of tempting aromas after they are here - and the cooking is faster than before!
Since he wanted to stay here for a while, Ji Jinrong seriously prepared Arthur's lunch.He didn't rush to deliver the food, but sat around with Caroline and others, poured a spoonful of delicious and sweet gravy on the white rice, and ate happily.
Naturally, the workers in the kitchen can't eat meat, but it's not difficult to get some gravy, and the supervisor won't blame them, so everyone eats the same thing as Ji Jinrong.No one would have imagined that a bowl of ordinary white rice can be so delicious!
Oh, what an amazing boy!
This idea popped up in everyone's mind.
When they saw Caroline, who was petite but big eater, sitting beside Ji Jinrong, they silently added a word: Oh, what two amazing teenagers!
When Ji Jinrong was full, the supervisor came over.
The supervisor had a happy smile on his face.
Ji Jinrong knew that Arthurs was very satisfied with the lunch he made.
Ji Jinrong greeted the supervisor politely.
The supervisor said: "I know all about your situation." The supervisor has already quietly learned about Ji Jinrong's performance from other people.He felt that even if this young man was a fleeing nobleman, he was different from ordinary noblemen.At least he never underestimated the people around him from the beginning to the end, and even got along with them in just half a day——
Oh, they were eating together just now, the rice looked so delicious, he wanted to go back and pour gravy on the rice and try it!
The supervisor struggled to regain his composure.
He said kindly to Ji Jinrong: "My lord's situation is a bit special. He hasn't been able to eat much in the past two months. He accidentally drank the soup you made in the morning, and his appetite has improved a lot——My lord at noon He ate a big bowl of rice!" His eyes were full of anticipation, "We want to hire you to cook for the adults, I wonder if you would like it?"
Compared with the arrogant Moore, the supervisor's attitude is very sincere.Ji Jinrong said: "When I'm not cooking, can I go outside for a walk?" He had to find a way to meet the old doctor to see if he could agree on the prescription that the old doctor had pondered over.
The supervisor said: "Of course, you are completely free. You can go wherever you want after preparing the adults' meals."
Ji Jinrong laughed: "My sister is very concerned about our wages, she is afraid that we will work for nothing."
This is equivalent to agreeing!The supervisor said happily: "Of course the wages will be paid, because you prepare meals for adults, so your wages will be the same as the chef's, five gold coins a month. Your sister gets the assistant chef's salary, two gold coins a month. As for your grandfather, fifty silver coins a month, what do you think?"
Don't listen to the fact that this number is very small. In fact, one gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin is equivalent to one hundred copper coins.That is to say, even old Robert can get five thousand copper coins, which is really not low.
And in this world, Ji Jinrong doesn't care much about money anymore.
Ji Jinrong readily agreed: "No problem."
Both parties were very satisfied, the supervisor drew up a contract and asked Ji Jinrong to sign it.
It was the first time Ji Jinrong saw the text here.
He read through the contract, found nothing wrong, and pressed his fingerprints on it.With this contract, he can live here safely for at least a month.
Seeing that Ji Jinrong had signed, Caroline and old Robert naturally signed the employment contract.
Ji Jinrong made a small request to the supervisor: "Can I advance a little salary?" He didn't have a single copper coin in his hand, and if he wanted to go out to buy daily necessities, he couldn't ask Caroline and the others to pay.He smiled shyly, "I want to buy some replacement clothes."
The supervisor said: "Of course no problem! This is my negligence." He took out a gold coin and handed it to Ji Jinrong on the spot. "If you find gold coins inconvenient, you can go to the Finance Department to exchange them for silver or copper coins."
Ji Jinrong nodded.He followed the director's instructions to exchange the gold coins for silver coins and divided them into three shares. Caroline and old Robert both got thirty.Then he exchanged another one hundred copper coins, which were also divided into three shares, and he kept forty for himself to spend when he went out.
Caroline doesn't want to take it: "I have money!"
Ji Jinrong said with a smile: "You don't dare to take this little money, how will you help me manage the money in the future?"
Caroline's eyes lit up when she heard this.Seeing that Ji Jinrong didn't seem to be joking, she said excitedly, "Let me take care of the money in the future?"
Ji Jinrong couldn't help rubbing Caroline's hair again.Just as he was about to make some jokes, he felt a stern look on him again.
Ji Jinrong frowned.
He turned his head and saw that Lord Arthurs was standing not far away, staring at him and Caroline coldly.
Ji Jinrong was glad that he only had to deal with ingredients in the kitchen.
This guy is really not very cute!
With such a moody temper, how could so many people love him?
Ji Jinrong showed a "shy" smile to Lord Arthurs.
He said, "Lord Arthurs, I'll go out with Caroline to do some shopping first."
Hearing Ji Jinrong call "Master Arthur", Arthur's eyes moved.He stared at Ji Jinrong's pretty face, not understanding why he was so angry.
He has only met the boy in front of him once, at most he can only eat the food made by the boy.Why seeing this young man getting along intimately with others, it was as if hot lava spewed out of his heart, burning his whole heart almost unbearably.
This emotion was foreign to Arthurs.
As the leader of the free army, he must be calm, rational - even ruthless, otherwise he will not be able to lead this army of slaves out of the woods!That's right, his name is Arthurs Eric, outsiders are more familiar with his surname Eric, only relatives will call him "Arthurs".
And his relatives had already died in the hands of the imperial army.
He led the Freedom Army to revenge.
Take revenge on the empire, on the nobles, and on the supreme imperial power.
He rightfully hated all nobles.
However, his wisdom and everything he saw told him that the nobles in this world should not all be scum—
Just as there are scum among slaves, there are heroes among nobles.
Everyone is an independent individual.
His talent and conduct cannot be defined by his origin and status.
Therefore, he didn't need to embarrass Ji Jinrong because of Ji Jinrong's noble status.
Arthurs said: "Go."
Go and see what's out there.
Also let him take a good look to see if there are really different nobles.
In this chaotic age, once we part, we don't know whether we can still meet each other.If old Robert could accept this kind of thing, how could Ji Jinrong survive!
Ji Jinrong said goodbye to Madam Lisa.
Mrs. Lisa's three children hugged Ji Jinrong to prevent him from leaving. Ji Jinrong picked them up one by one and kissed them on the cheek.This place has not been affected by the flames of war, and the days are still peaceful. The three children are all cleaned up, which is very pleasing.Ji Jinrong said: "The wheat in your family is very good, and even the birds are very fond of it.

The friendship of children is so simple, if you treat them well, they will miss you.
Ji Jinrong returned them to their mother.

The three of them worked together to tidy up the room. Caroline wiped the sweat from her forehead and snorted, "Everyone said how good the Freedom Army is, but I don't think it's that good. We didn't do anything bad, so they arrested us." Come and let us work for nothing..."
Ji Jinrong smiled: "Don't worry, I'll discuss the salary with the supervisor later, and I will never give them free work!"
Caroline: "..."
Seeing that Ji Jinrong was smiling, she didn't feel uncomfortable, and she was inexplicably happy: "Yes! We won't cook for them if they don't pay!"
Ji Jinrong reached out and rubbed Caroline's head.
Soon, a big man knocked on their door.The big man's rough voice came from outside: "It's work! It's time to prepare lunch. Don't just come here and try to be lazy!"
This is really treating them like workers.
This was the first time Ji Jinrong encountered such a thing.
He doesn't feel angry.He knows that this era is a "slave society", which means that slaves have no human rights in this era.Relatively speaking, the "hiring" system is a huge improvement!
In the free army, slaves are not allowed, so all the workers in this place work with wages, and if they want to resign, they can receive their wages and go home at any time.
It doesn't seem like a big difference, but it means a lot.
To put it simply, a slave is not a person, but a hired worker is an independent person—
They are free.
They can choose their employers, and they can earn money to support their families with their own hands.
Pay the labor by yourself, and then get the corresponding money——
There is nothing shameful about this kind of thing.
He is not an emperor or an aristocrat now, and it is very lucky to be able to eat with his own hands.
Ji Jinrong comforted the angry old Robert, and led Caroline to the kitchen.
Old Robert was sad for a while, and hurried to the kitchen to help Ji Jinrong.
Caroline was flexible in her hands and feet, and was quickly assigned to chop vegetables.
She moved neatly and beautifully, leaving others stunned.
Compared with Caroline's outstanding performance, Ji Jinrong seemed much more low-key.It was the first time he came into contact with the "big kitchen" of this era, and he was not very good at using many kitchen utensils, so he sincerely asked other "old people" for advice.
Like eating this, Ji Jinrong has an extraordinary talent.He has a good nose, so he can tell if the ingredients are new and how to make them delicious as soon as he passes them by.
Soon, Ji Jinrong and Caroline conquered the entire kitchen.
Even though they are using the same ingredients and the same boiler, the kitchen will be full of tempting aromas after they are here - and the cooking is faster than before!
Since he wanted to stay here for a while, Ji Jinrong seriously prepared Arthur's lunch.He didn't rush to deliver the food, but sat around with Caroline and others, poured a spoonful of delicious and sweet gravy on the white rice, and ate happily.
Naturally, the workers in the kitchen can't eat meat, but it's not difficult to get some gravy, and the supervisor won't blame them, so everyone eats the same thing as Ji Jinrong.No one would have imagined that a bowl of ordinary white rice can be so delicious!
Oh, what an amazing boy!
This idea popped up in everyone's mind.
When they saw Caroline, who was petite but big eater, sitting beside Ji Jinrong, they silently added a word: Oh, what two amazing teenagers!
When Ji Jinrong was full, the supervisor came over.
The supervisor had a happy smile on his face.
Ji Jinrong knew that Arthurs was very satisfied with the lunch he made.
Ji Jinrong greeted the supervisor politely.
The supervisor said: "I know all about your situation." The supervisor has already quietly learned about Ji Jinrong's performance from other people.He felt that even if this young man was a fleeing nobleman, he was different from ordinary noblemen.At least he never underestimated the people around him from the beginning to the end, and even got along with them in just half a day——
Oh, they were eating together just now, the rice looked so delicious, he wanted to go back and pour gravy on the rice and try it!
The supervisor struggled to regain his composure.
He said kindly to Ji Jinrong: "My lord's situation is a bit special. He hasn't been able to eat much in the past two months. He accidentally drank the soup you made in the morning, and his appetite has improved a lot——My lord at noon He ate a big bowl of rice!" His eyes were full of anticipation, "We want to hire you to cook for the adults, I wonder if you would like it?"
Compared with the arrogant Moore, the supervisor's attitude is very sincere.Ji Jinrong said: "When I'm not cooking, can I go outside for a walk?" He had to find a way to meet the old doctor to see if he could agree on the prescription that the old doctor had pondered over.
The supervisor said: "Of course, you are completely free. You can go wherever you want after preparing the adults' meals."
Ji Jinrong laughed: "My sister is very concerned about our wages, she is afraid that we will work for nothing."
This is equivalent to agreeing!The supervisor said happily: "Of course the wages will be paid, because you prepare meals for adults, so your wages will be the same as the chef's, five gold coins a month. Your sister gets the assistant chef's salary, two gold coins a month. As for your grandfather, fifty silver coins a month, what do you think?"
Don't listen to the fact that this number is very small. In fact, one gold coin is equivalent to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin is equivalent to one hundred copper coins.That is to say, even old Robert can get five thousand copper coins, which is really not low.
And in this world, Ji Jinrong doesn't care much about money anymore.
Ji Jinrong readily agreed: "No problem."
Both parties were very satisfied, the supervisor drew up a contract and asked Ji Jinrong to sign it.
It was the first time Ji Jinrong saw the text here.
He read through the contract, found nothing wrong, and pressed his fingerprints on it.With this contract, he can live here safely for at least a month.
Seeing that Ji Jinrong had signed, Caroline and old Robert naturally signed the employment contract.
Ji Jinrong made a small request to the supervisor: "Can I advance a little salary?" He didn't have a single copper coin in his hand, and if he wanted to go out to buy daily necessities, he couldn't ask Caroline and the others to pay.He smiled shyly, "I want to buy some replacement clothes."
The supervisor said: "Of course no problem! This is my negligence." He took out a gold coin and handed it to Ji Jinrong on the spot. "If you find gold coins inconvenient, you can go to the Finance Department to exchange them for silver or copper coins."
Ji Jinrong nodded.He followed the director's instructions to exchange the gold coins for silver coins and divided them into three shares. Caroline and old Robert both got thirty.Then he exchanged another one hundred copper coins, which were also divided into three shares, and he kept forty for himself to spend when he went out.
Caroline doesn't want to take it: "I have money!"
Ji Jinrong said with a smile: "You don't dare to take this little money, how will you help me manage the money in the future?"
Caroline's eyes lit up when she heard this.Seeing that Ji Jinrong didn't seem to be joking, she said excitedly, "Let me take care of the money in the future?"
Ji Jinrong couldn't help rubbing Caroline's hair again.Just as he was about to make some jokes, he felt a stern look on him again.
Ji Jinrong frowned.
He turned his head and saw that Lord Arthurs was standing not far away, staring at him and Caroline coldly.
Ji Jinrong was glad that he only had to deal with ingredients in the kitchen.
This guy is really not very cute!
With such a moody temper, how could so many people love him?
Ji Jinrong showed a "shy" smile to Lord Arthurs.
He said, "Lord Arthurs, I'll go out with Caroline to do some shopping first."
Hearing Ji Jinrong call "Master Arthur", Arthur's eyes moved.He stared at Ji Jinrong's pretty face, not understanding why he was so angry.
He has only met the boy in front of him once, at most he can only eat the food made by the boy.Why seeing this young man getting along intimately with others, it was as if hot lava spewed out of his heart, burning his whole heart almost unbearably.
This emotion was foreign to Arthurs.
As the leader of the free army, he must be calm, rational - even ruthless, otherwise he will not be able to lead this army of slaves out of the woods!That's right, his name is Arthurs Eric, outsiders are more familiar with his surname Eric, only relatives will call him "Arthurs".
And his relatives had already died in the hands of the imperial army.
He led the Freedom Army to revenge.
Take revenge on the empire, on the nobles, and on the supreme imperial power.
He rightfully hated all nobles.
However, his wisdom and everything he saw told him that the nobles in this world should not all be scum—
Just as there are scum among slaves, there are heroes among nobles.
Everyone is an independent individual.
His talent and conduct cannot be defined by his origin and status.
Therefore, he didn't need to embarrass Ji Jinrong because of Ji Jinrong's noble status.
Arthurs said: "Go."
Go and see what's out there.
Also let him take a good look to see if there are really different nobles.
