166: Goodbye, little cunt

The next morning, Lin Yue had just finished washing up with his newly acquired toothbrush when he heard Feng Cai's report.

"My Lord, Wang Hu reports that his Black Tiger Stronghold has annihilated that group of Mountain Bandits, and the Mountain Bandits near Heye City have also been mostly dealt with, but a few still escaped."

"It doesn't matter, let them escape," Lin Yue said. The terrain in the mountains was complex, and it was unrealistic for Wang Hu to wipe out all the Mountain Bandits.

"Furthermore, Zhang Wenfeng requests to withdraw because Heye City has ordered them to patrol the foot of the mountain, not allowing a single grain of food to go up the mountain!

Additionally, Heye City also requests each of our towns to send a thousand Soldiers to assist Heye City's garrison in sealing off the mountain," Feng Cai said in a deep voice.

"Then let Zhang Wenfeng return. After all, sealing off the mountain is also beneficial to us.

As for the Guard, let's send some reserve Guard. The safety of the town is the most important thing right now," Lin Yue said.

In the town, beneath the first and second-tier Guard, there was also a reserve Guard, numbering around two thousand.

Like the militias of later generations, they received regular training and were mostly elementary Soldiers, sufficient to assist Heye City's garrison in sealing off the mountain.

"Understood!" Feng Cai replied, committing Lin Yue's words to heart.

"Now that the surrounding Mountain Bandits can no longer cause trouble, from now on, the town will be entirely under your management. It's time for me to go back," Lin Yue said.

He had been away from the Military Camp for nearly a week. Although no one was supervising him, being away from the Military Camp for such a long time was not justifiable.

Moreover, his main task next was to expand the town, and he wouldn't be able to help much by staying here, so he planned to return early.

"This old man will not fail My Lord's expectations!" Feng Cai said.

Currently, Lin Yue's Fief was two hundred square kilometers, but the prosperous area was still the original scope of the level three village. He still needed to expand it.

Furthermore, after the Fief's expansion, three villages now belonged within the Fief's boundaries, and he needed to take control of all of them, which made him somewhat excited!

"Alright, and that Ge Ge Chicken, I'll entrust it to your care," Lin Yue said.

After much thought, he realized that he had no fixed abode and often went on campaigns, making it unsuitable to keep the Ge Ge Chicken with him. A peaceful and tranquil town was more suitable for its survival.

"My Lord, rest assured, I guarantee it will live better than I do.

At the very least, it won't precede me in death!" Feng Cai said seriously!

"No need for that. You work hard. In a few years, when the town is upgraded to a small city, I'll still need you to be its City Lord," Lin Yue joked.

"Understood!" Feng Cai exclaimed excitedly, his body trembling with enthusiasm.

He was over fifty years old this year, already considered an old man in this era.

He never expected to, like Jiang Ziya, experience a second spring in his career in his twilight years!

This made his blood surge!

Lin Yue smiled slightly at Feng Cai's reaction, then called Li Siye, and they both mounted their horses.

He patted the two letters from Xia Lian in his embrace, and the two men on two horses galloped towards Xiangping Commandery City.

It's just, why were there two letters again?

...It wasn't until sunset that the two arrived at Xiangping Commandery City!

The two rode non-stop to the location of the Heavenly Tier Teleportation Array, finally catching the last transfer to Fushi County City.

After paying the silver, the two waited briefly, and then the Teleportation Array began to activate.

Then, with a blink of an eye, the two arrived at Fushi County City!

Li Siye, experiencing the Heavenly Tier Teleportation Array for the first time, was a bit dazed.

"My Lords, the Heavenly Tier Teleportation Array is about to close. If you wish to leave the city or stay at an inn, you should do so as soon as possible," the Soldier guarding the Teleportation Array kindly reminded them.

Nearly ten thousand people used the Teleportation Array every day, so he had seen all sorts of people and rarely misjudged anyone!

The two in front of him both possessed extraordinary demeanors, and he saw no need to offend them.

"Thank you," Lin Yue cupped his hands and pulled Li Siye out.

Then, the two found a nearby inn and walked in.

Inside the inn, it was bustling with people. Because it was only a few tens of meters from the Teleportation Array, travelers came and went incessantly.

Lin Yue and Li Siye were quite fortunate; only three rooms remained for the night, so they each took one and settled down.

At this moment, in Fushi County City, a young man, tipsy, walked to the Heavenly Tier Teleportation Array.

"Alas, the Teleportation Array is closed. I can't return to Xianyang City tonight.

What a blunder!

I'm never going to that brothel again!"

The young man looked at the closed Teleportation Array, feeling some regret and self-reproach. Helpless, he turned and entered the inn.

Upon learning that only one room was left, he was grateful that heaven still favored him. This inn was the closest to the Heavenly Tier Teleportation Array, and by staying here, he could catch the earliest transfer tomorrow!

Then he paid cheerfully and followed the attendant to the second floor to rest.

The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, the young man woke up early and walked towards the Teleportation Array.

Heaven rewards the diligent; he finally caught the earliest transfer to Xianyang City.

Before the Teleportation Array activated, he took one last look at this place he had yearned to leave day and night, and the nearby brothel that had made him linger, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Suddenly, a person walked out of the inn in front of him, and his expression hardened!

And Lin Yue had just walked out of the inn, instinctively looking towards the Teleportation Array, and happened to catch this scene!

Their eyes met, and the young man quickly lowered his head, hiding in the crowd, silently chanting, "He can't see me, he can't see me!"

Although Lin Yue couldn't see clearly, seeing the other party's instinctive evasive reaction, he could roughly guess what was happening. He immediately ran towards the Teleportation Array!

"Teleportation Array activating!

Destination: Imperial Capital, Xianyang City!" the Soldier shouted!

Lin Yue, having just reached the outer perimeter of the Teleportation Array, helplessly watched as the young man made a face at him before disappearing into the Teleportation Array!

"Xianyang?

Don't let me catch you!" Lin Yue gritted his teeth.

"My Lord, what's wrong?" Li Siye asked, arriving at that moment.

"Nothing, I met an old acquaintance," Lin Yue shook his head, clearly not wanting to talk much about this young man who had tricked him.

"Then shall we go to the Military Camp where you are stationed now?" Li Siye asked.

"No, we'll go to Fushi Encampment first, then go back," Lin Yue said resentfully.

Then he took Li Siye and rode to Fushi Encampment.

After Lin Yue presented his identification, he entered the Encampment, while Li Siye waited in the Military Camp.

He felt a bit uncomfortable with the gate Guard's intense gaze, as if he were some heinous criminal.

But what he didn't know was that the gate Guard felt even more uncomfortable looking at him. A burly man over two meters tall, with an imposing aura, just standing there gave them a sense of oppression.

Fortunately, both sides breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously, because Lin Yue came out.

"This sneaky bastard, don't let me catch you!" Lin Yue cursed as he walked, then came over and said, "Siye, let's return to the Encampment!"

"Understood!" Li Siye replied, riding north with Lin Yue.
