Chapter 500: The Accounts Don't Add Up!

On the way back, since Martial Artists acted as scouts to pave the path, avoiding encounters with Tujue cavalry, the journey was very smooth.

After everyone returned to the Great Sui territory, they followed Shen Buxing and others back to the temporary camp.

Everyone was awaiting their rewards, but after nearly two and a half hours, as it was almost dark, they still hadn't come.

At this moment, fully armed Zheng Poyue came over and saluted the Martial Artists with a clasped fist.

"Gentlemen, now that the battle has ended, General Shen is busily checking everyone's contributions. After all, these feats must be reported to the Imperial Court, so it's important to record who killed how many Tujue warriors, and the strength of those slain, which requires some time. You may return for now and come to collect the rewards tomorrow or the day after," he said.

Everyone had thought they would receive their rewards today and were shocked to hear they had to wait another day or two.
