107: Second entry into Xianyang

In a blink of an eye, the group was already in Xianyang City!

The group walked out of the Heavenly Tier Teleportation Array and headed outside.

Outside the Heavenly Tier Teleportation Array in Xianyang City, a squad of Soldiers was also waiting!

“Great Wall Legion, General She Jian, is here by order to escort the bandit leader Lu Bu to Xianyang!” She Jian stood tall and shouted loudly, as if he were a Soldier undergoing inspection.

“You’ve all worked hard. Just hand the bandit leader over to This humble general,” said the white-haired Martial Power general leading the group.

“Understood!” She Jian shouted!

Then, several people walked out from behind the Martial Power general, took the prisoner cart, and relieved Lin Yue.

“Are you serving under Wang Li?” the Martial Power general asked.

“Reporting to Marquis Tongwu, after This humble general arrives at Shang Commandery, This humble general will officially accept General Wang Li’s deployment!” She Jian said.

“Good. You all go rest first. The day after tomorrow, at the court assembly, come with This humble general to attend the imperial audience with His Majesty,” the Martial Power general said with a smile.

“Understood!”

Then, the Martial Power general turned around, and She Jian said, “This humble general respectfully bids farewell to Marquis Tongwu!”

The Martial Power general waved his hand and left.

Marquis Tongwu?

Lin Yue quickly used the Art of Recognizing People on this Martial Power general!

name: Wang Ben

Martial Power: 95

Intelligence: 91

Command: 96

Politics: 88

Charm: 85

Marquis Tongwu Wang Ben!

Wang Jian’s son, Wang Li’s father!

During Great Qin’s unification of the six states, Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son, together destroyed five of them!

After both were ennobled as marquises, they wisely retreated from public life. He didn't expect to meet him here!

“Lin Yue, do you know who this person is?” She Jian asked with a smile.

“General, you called him Marquis Tongwu, so he must be General Wang Ben,” Lin Yue said.

“You actually know?” She Jian was a little surprised, then said, “Marquis Tongwu hasn’t shown himself for a long time since he accompanied His Majesty on an eastern tour four years ago. I didn’t expect him to be responsible for Lu Bu’s handover this time.”

“Let’s go. The mission is complete. Come rest with me. After the court assembly the day after tomorrow and the imperial audience with His Majesty, we can return,” She Jian said.

Then, She Jian led the two to a tavern, the Great Wall Tavern!

The tavern was not luxurious; on the contrary, its exterior was very ordinary. After the group stepped into the tavern, Lin Yue found that the interior was also very ordinary!

“This was built by retired Soldiers of the Great Wall Legion, specifically as lodging for Great Wall Legion Soldiers. In the future, when you come to Xianyang, as long as you show the Great Wall Legion’s insignia, you can stay here,” She Jian said to Lin Yue.

“Gou Shengzi, three rooms!” She Jian said to a man.

“Colonel, sir!” the man said with a smile, then corrected himself, “No, no, General She Jian! Congratulations on your promotion, General!”

“Stop messing around here. You can call me whatever you want, getting the rooms ready is the important thing!” She Jian said with a laugh and a scold.

“Alright, alright, alright! General, please follow This humble general!” Then Gou Shengzi led the three to the second floor.

“General, do you think these rooms are acceptable?” Gou Shengzi asked.

“What’s acceptable or not? We’ve slept in the wilderness before.

Where’s Ji San?” She Jian asked.

“Ji San is out on business. He should be back tonight. I’ll call you when he returns,” Gou Shengzi said with a smile.

“Alright,” She Jian said, and then the group each went to find a room to rest.

Lin Yue thought for a moment, said something to She Jian, and then got up and went to the east of the city.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too far from the east of the city. After Lin Yue arrived in the east of the city, he followed the address and finally found a rice shop.

“What would the esteemed customer like to buy?” a plump boss asked with a smile.

“I’m looking for someone.” Lin Yue shook his hand, revealing a token.

“May This humble general ask your name, esteemed customer, and who you are looking for?” the plump boss’s small eyes narrowed into a straight line. After seeing the token clearly, he asked with a smile.

“My name is Lin Yue. Does the boss happen to know this person, Han Tan?” Lin Yue asked.

The boss did not answer Lin Yue, but instead took out paper and pen and said to Lin Yue, “Esteemed customer, please leave an address.”

Lin Yue wrote down the address and handed it to the plump boss. The plump boss took it and frowned slightly.

“Esteemed customer, your location is a bit inconvenient for anyone.

This humble general has taken the liberty to suggest that perhaps you could come here tomorrow at the hour of Wei. What do you think, esteemed customer?” the plump boss asked.

“That works, thank you,” Lin Yue said, cupped his hands, and then took his leave.

Indeed, as he said, if Han Tan, an Eunuch, were to go to such a tavern, it would become somewhat sensitive.

It wasn’t a big deal anyway, and it was the same for Lin Yue to go find him.

After Lin Yue came out, he returned to the Great Wall Tavern. Stepping into the tavern, he found She Jian in the main hall, drinking and chatting happily with several people, the atmosphere was very pleasant!

Lin Yue didn’t want to disturb them and intended to walk past quietly, but as soon as he stepped through the door, She Jian noticed him.

“Lin Yue, come!” She Jian said with a smile.

“General!” Lin Yue walked over helplessly.

“Sit, that kid Meng Fang collapsed after a few drinks, he’s really an embarrassment to This humble general!

You take his place!” She Jian said with a laugh.

“Understood!” Lin Yue responded, then cupped his hands to the other two at the table, saying, “Lin Yue greets everyone!”

“What a handsome young man, come sit!” the two said with a smile, and then Lin Yue took his seat.

“This is Ji Jin, who used to be one of the Colonels of the Golden Fire Cavalry under the Great General. Now he is a big wealthy man in Xianyang City. Tomorrow, you will hand Xiao Yang over to him, and he will arrange everything for Xiao Yang. You don’t need to worry about the rest,” She Jian said, pointing to a plump middle-aged man with a smile.

“Greetings, Colonel!” Lin Yue stood up, cupped his hands, and then raised his wine cup and drank it all.

Ji San quickly pressed Lin Yue back onto the stool and said with a smile, “I retired many years ago, young brother, just call me Third Brother.”

“This is Zhao Tuo, a General of the Great Wall Legion, now transferred to Xianyang. The day after tomorrow, he will accompany us to the imperial audience with His Majesty,” She Jian said, pointing to a young man with a smile.

The man stood up, raised his wine cup, and said with a smile, “Brother, how old are you this year?”

“Twenty-two,” Lin Yue said, also raising his wine cup.

“I’m three years older than you, so you can call me elder brother. I used to be General She Jian’s Vice Commander (deputy general), so we are family!” Zhao Tuo said with a smile, then took the initiative to drink it all.

name: Zhao Tuo

Martial Power: 92

Intelligence: 85

Command: 91

Politics: 88

Charm: 76

This is Zhao Tuo, who would later establish the Nanyue Kingdom by seizing control of Lingnan during the chaos of the late qin dynasty!

He even lived for over a hundred years and reigned for a full eighty-one years!

“You brat, what are you spacing out for!” She Jian called out to Lin Yue.

Only then did Lin Yue realize that Zhao Tuo had already emptied his cup, and he quickly drank his own.

Then everyone sat down. Lin Yue didn’t drink often, and the wine here was far from the low-alcohol wine at Yanlai Brothel last time. It was incredibly spicy, and after only a few cups, he felt a bit lightheaded.

If this continued, he would follow in Meng Fang’s footsteps and would surely be ridiculed by She Jian in the future.

He opened the system shop and searched for a while, and indeed, he found a pill!

Pill of a Thousand Cups Undrunk: Take this pill, and This humble general guarantees you’ll be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

Duration: Twelve hours.

Price: 20 taels of silver.

Although it was a bit expensive, Lin Yue still chose to purchase it.

“Come, drink!” She Jian raised his cup!
