Medical Expenses (1)

Close the city gates!

Upon Vice-Commander immediately ordered the city gates to be closed. Although this was a town, it was a major military stronghold with strong defensive capabilities, no weaker than any major city.

"Li Yue, the city gates are closed. Shouldn't we go back to rest?" Ye Lang wanted to go back to his lodgings when he saw the city gates were closed.

If that Vice-Commander heard these words, he would be so angry he would vomit blood, because Ye Lang's words clearly showed that he didn't take him seriously.

"Leave if you want, stay if you want," isn't that Ye Lang's attitude now?

"How can we go back now! Let's just try to get through this." Li Yue replied. If she said she wanted to go back, then she wouldn't be Li Yue, she would be Ye Lang.

"Break through the barrier? That's not right, it's illegal."

"... What else do you mean by illegal? How many of your actions are legal? You lied to me, you kidnapped me, is that legal?" Li Yue's forehead creased with anger as she heard Ye Lang say those things.

"I'm doing this for your sake. What does it matter if I'm legal or not? I'm an enemy of the Soaring Sky Empire, so I don't have to abide by the laws here. But you're different. You're the garrison commander of the Soaring Sky Empire," Ye Lang said, looking at Li Yue with a puzzled expression. He wondered what Li Yue was angry about.

"Huh?" Li Yue was stunned. She didn't expect Ye Lang to be thinking of her, which surprised her greatly.

"You don't need to consider me. I'm a hostage you've kidnapped. I can't take the initiative, and nothing you do will affect me," Li Yue said softly.

"Oh, that makes it simple, the lion charges!" After receiving Li Yue's words, Ye Lang decided to start his brute force approach. However, at this point, it was not easy for him to pass the test.

If Ye Lang were alone at this moment, it would be extremely easy for him to get through, but now Li Yue is here, along with the most troublesome lion.

At this moment, several hundred people stood between Ye Lang and the city gate. They were all guards of Muyang Town, under the command of that Vice-Commander, though ultimately the power did not Vice-Commander with him.

There are 5,000 soldiers in this Muyang Town. He, a Vice-Commander, only manages 500 men. Above him are the senior commander, the Lieutenant General, General of the Guard. The highest leader of these 5,000 men is the General of the Guard stationed here.

In the Xiangkong Empire, the military ranks in a typical legion are as follows: Five-Man Squad Leader, a squad of five men; Twenty-Man Squad Leader, twenty men; Centurion, one hundred men; Vice-Commander, five hundred men; Senior Commander, one thousand men; Lieutenant General, three thousand men; General of the Guard, five thousand men; and General, ten thousand men.

Above that, there are Supreme General, Great General, and Grand Marshal. There are no fixed numbers for these; they exist flexibly within the decision-making levels of each legion.

As for Li Yue's rank of captain, it belongs to a different system, one that is directly under the emperor, and is somewhat different from the legion.

The fact that there was General of the Guard and more than 5,000 troops stationed in Muyang Town is enough to demonstrate its importance.

"You lion, why can't you fly?" Ye Lang patted the lion's head, somewhat moved. At this moment, with so many people in front of him, he suddenly thought of flying away.

"Roar..." The lion roared softly, perhaps complaining about Ye Lang's unrealistic ideas.

Seeing so many soldiers in front of him, looking determined to hold their ground, Ye Lang simply gave up on trying to pass through. He decided to wait for someone to arrive and then talk to them, hoping they would let him through.

Anyway, waiting a little longer won't cause any problems; it's better than fighting and killing each other!

"Still trying to escape?" The Vice-Commander caught up and, seeing that Ye Lang was not moving, thought that Ye Lang had already surrendered and was afraid.

"Escape? I've never escaped. At most, it's a strategic retreat," Ye Lang replied casually, not giving the Vice-Commander a chance to speak, and said directly again, "Hurry up and have someone open the city gates. I don't want to get entangled with you anymore."

"I'll open the city gate, but you have to compensate my men for their losses. One thousand gold coins per person, twelve thousand for twelve men, plus my hard-earned money, give me fifteen thousand, and you can leave!" the Vice-Commander said with a sneer. He felt that Ye Lang probably couldn't afford the conditions he set, but he could make Ye Lang bargain and add some conditions.

"So you wanted money. You should have said so earlier. Here you go, 15,000, right?" Ye Lang threw out 15,000 Gold notes directly. "Now you can move aside for me, right?"

For Ye Lang, money was just a number. He also liked to spend money. He considered the money he had just spent as medical expenses for those people, since Li Yue had killed twelve people that afternoon.

"..." The Vice-Commander took the Gold notes that flew in. He was stunned because he saw that the Gold notes was genuine and there were 15,000 gold coins in his hand.

Seeing how easily that boy tossed it out, completely disregarding those 15,000 gold coins, this boy is definitely no ordinary boy!

But if that's the case, then it's even better!!

"Hey, tell your men to move aside!" Ye Lang pointed at the soldier in front of him and shouted.

"Young master, I just said I'd let you leave if you paid me, but your sister can't," the Vice-Commander said to Ye Lang with a smile, his tone becoming much more amiable, perhaps due to the allure of money.

"Why?" Ye Lang asked, puzzled, while Li Yue watched coldly from the side.

"Because she injured my brother," the Vice-Commander said in a deep voice, as if trying to tell Ye Lang that this matter was very serious.

"I've already paid your medical expenses, so this matter should be over," Ye Lang said, not paying attention to the other party's tone, simply stating his point of view.

"It would have ended there, but the mistake was that your sister was too ruthless, cutting off people's hands and feet." The Vice-Commander's face showed a hint of chill.

"They deserve it! With that attitude, they've done similar things before. We're not their first victims, and we won't be their last. So, my sister cut off their hands and feet so they can't harm ordinary people anymore." Ye Lang answered directly, his tone calm and unwavering, as if he were stating an ordinary matter, a very ordinary fact.

"Huh?" Li Yue was a little surprised after hearing Ye Lang's words. That was indeed what she thought, but she had never told Ye Lang this. How did he know what she was thinking?

Could it be that we've arrived... Ah, what am I thinking!

At this moment, Li Yue's face inexplicably turned red, which puzzled those who were watching her. What could have made her blush?

"Even if they are wrong, this punishment should be handled by our Greedy Wolf Legion, not by you outsiders," the Vice-Commander said coldly.
