Cao Hai pushed the door open with caution and saw Peng Longteng lying on the bed, letting two physicians dress the wound on his neck.
"Oh, for heaven's sake!" Cao Hai walked in, came to Peng Longteng's side, and stomped his foot furiously. "Have you gone mad? You actually killed thousands of people!"
Peng Longteng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, spoke up. "Without pay, who will fight for them? Without rewards, who will win battles for them?"
"Asking them for money is harder than killing them. Fine, if they have their difficulties, I'll just take my own reward!"
"After fighting on the battlefield for so long, I can't let my soldiers down!"
"You, you, you—" Cao Hai was so furious he was at a loss for words.
"It's just a small town of a few thousand people. Look how frantic you are. I spared the cities. That's me being very considerate to those bigwigs."
