257: Happy Fat House Water (4)

Half a month later.

"General, I've had someone seize another batch of happy fatty water," Lin Yue said as he arrived at She Jian's great Encampment.

"How much?!" She Jian stood up with a whoosh.

"A thousand bottles," Lin Yue replied.

During this time, he had successively traded for more drinks, about a thousand bottles, bringing his total to two thousand bottles of various drinks. Feeling that the time was right, he took out a thousand bottles and gave them to She Jian.

"So many?" She Jian asked, surprised, "I asked my comrades in the northern commanderies to help me search, but they only found a dozen cans these past few days."

"That's right, This humble general issued a death order. As soon as they were acquired, they were sent to you without delay," Lin Yue said, his expression unchanged.

"Excellent!" She Jian said with a laugh, opening Lin Yue's spatial pearl to inspect it. Seeing the different styles of drinks inside, he suddenly asked, "So many varieties?"

"Yes, various flavors," Lin Yue replied.

She Jian thought for a moment and said, "Are there any suitable for children?"

"Children?" Lin Yue asked, puzzled. He then selected a fruit juice with fewer additives and handed it to She Jian.

"This one," Lin Yue didn't explain, as She Jian wouldn't understand even if he did. He himself only learned about this kind of knowledge after watching Hextech.

"Good," She Jian nodded, transferring all the identical items from inside to his own spatial treasure.

Lin Yue was a bit curious and asked, "General, who are these for?"

"My daughter, she's only ten this year," She Jian said with a smile.

"You have a daughter?" Lin Yue asked, surprised. He had known him for almost a year, and this was the first time he had heard She Jian mention it.

"Heh heh, surprised?

Not only do I have a ten-year-old daughter, but I also have a fifteen-year-old son, and a wife as beautiful as a flower.

Do you think everyone is a bachelor Li Ke you?" She Jian glanced at Lin Yue dismissively.

Lin Yue's heart was hit by countless critical blows at this moment!

Seeing his expression, She Jian continued to laugh, "Back then, I was a famous handsome young man within a hundred-li radius. So many matchmakers came to my house that they almost wore out my doorstep.

My old mother was a bit anxious, so I took a leave of absence to go home and get married. In a blink of an eye, it's been over ten years. With her at home, I can fight for the country outside with peace of mind."

A virtuous wife at home prospers three generations; what She Jian said was indeed true.

Only with a virtuous wife at home can a man feel at ease striving outside.

However, Lin Yue didn't believe a word of She Jian's claim of being handsome back then. Let alone a hundred-li radius, even a hundred-meter radius would make Lin Yue question it greatly!

"Call Tong Wei in. I'll have him deliver these to the generals," She Jian said to Lin Yue after organizing the drinks.

"Understood!" Lin Yue nodded in response, then walked to the entrance of the great Encampment and saw Tong Wei rushing in.

"You've come at just the right time, I have something for you!" She Jian said upon seeing Tong Wei.

Tong Wei's face was full of urgency as he said, "General, His Majesty's attendant has arrived!"

She Jian and Lin Yue were both startled. She Jian burst out laughing, "That's perfect, let's go!"

She Jian then ignored Lin Yue and rushed towards General Meng Tian's great Encampment.

Lin Yue was not in a hurry. Logically, with the attendant's arrival, he was not yet qualified to meet him. He would have to wait two or three days until all the generals were present before he could appear. So, Lin Yue returned to his barracks alone.

In the past half month, he had stayed in his barracks, continuously cultivating The Art of War and reading the qin law. He hadn't expected his Intelligence to increase by 2 points while his Command grew by 4 points! This made him cultivate even more diligently... Meanwhile, in the distant Dai Commandery, a group of people were galloping across the wilderness!

The setting sun cast six long shadows, imbued with the aura of Heroes of the Jianghu (jianghu heroes).

The group arrived at a city, stopped at the city gate, dismounted, and walked, leading their horses in line to enter the city.

"These are our household registrations," the group said with a smile, handing the small identification tags to the Soldier guarding the gate.

"You are 'Outsiders'?" the gate-guarding Soldier asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, General, you have good eyesight," the leading man said with a smile, but cursed inwardly. The small tags issued by the Great Qin government for them, the 'Outsiders,' were completely different from the identity certificates of the native residents, which meant they were questioned everywhere they went!

"General," the leading man discreetly handed dozens of copper coins to the gate-guarding Soldier.

As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little devils are troublesome. Even though they had obtained "legal" household registration through donations and other means locally, local officials were well aware of why they didn't have to perform corvée labor. So, they had to pay off officials everywhere they went.

Otherwise, just a single phrase about needing an inspection could delay them for half a month.

"Wait!" The gate-guarding Soldier stepped back, full of vigilance, then shouted, "Squad Leader, there are a few 'Outsiders' here!"

At these words, the group of six all stepped back, becoming vigilant.

"Li Ke, what's going on?" a sweet voice asked.

"Si Yu, don't be afraid, I'll handle it," Li Ke said, feigning calmness. They had passed through more than ten cities without encountering any problems, so why was there an issue today?

"Brother, we won't be arrested, will we?" a young man asked.

"Xiao Lin, don't worry, your brother is here," Li Ke reassured him.

Just then, a Soldier in armor walked over. The middle-aged man behind the group silently placed his hand on the hilt of his saber.

"You are 'Outsiders'?" the Squad Leader asked.

"Precisely!" Li Ke nodded.

"Follow me," the Squad Leader said.

"Don't go," Xiaobai warned.

Li Ke shook his head and walked directly with the Squad Leader.

"Will my brother be alright?" Li Lin asked.

"Don't worry, we have Uncle, and Uncle can beat them all down!" Yao Siyu said with a smile.

Li Lin looked at him with some doubt. Not long after, Li Ke returned, looking exasperated.

"What's wrong?" Xiaobai asked.

"Damn lunatic!" Li Ke cursed in a low voice, "He said to enter the city, we need happy fatty water, otherwise, no entry!

What kind of nonsense is that! Which native resident loves to drink happy fatty water?!

Let's go, we'll find another place. If this place doesn't want us, there are other places that will!"

Li Ke was quite exasperated. He even raised the price to two taels of silver, but it was no use; that Squad Leader was only interested in happy fatty water!

"But it's getting late now. If we can't get into the city, we'll have to sleep outdoors," Yao Siyu said with some concern.

"Brother, I have some," Li Lin said weakly.

"Have what? Xiao Lin, don't worry, your brother is here for everything, so don't fret," Li Ke comforted him.

"No, Xiao Lin really seems to have some," said the man beside him, who was holding a chicken.

"Sixteen, what did you say?" Li Ke asked.

"Xiao Lin really has some. The day before yesterday, when he joined us, he gave me a can," Xu Yilu said.

"Brother, I really do," Li Lin replied.

"How much do you have?" Li Ke asked, his eyes gleaming.

"About two hundred cans. I sold a lot to a big client a few days ago, otherwise, I'd have thousands of cans!" Li Lin said with a smile.

"Excellent, Xiao Lin, quickly give your brother two cans!" Li Ke urged.

When Li Ke held the two familiar red cans, he was Li Ke a samurai with his long sword, turning around spiritedly and heading straight for his battlefield.

"Hey! You guys wait for me, don't leave!" Li Ke shouted.

The Squad Leader suddenly turned around, looking at them with an incredulous expression, his hand already on his saber, ready to draw it at any moment.

Li Ke casually threw a can of happy fatty water towards the Squad Leader. The Squad Leader was about to get angry, but after catching it and seeing the familiar red can and the 'ghost-drawing' logo, his eyes went wide!
