306: The all-knowing Wang Zhi

"Then, Brother Lin, I'll be waiting for your triumphant return at the Encampment!" Wang Da Tou clasped his hands and smiled!

"Brother Wang, we'll meet at the Encampment!" Lin Yue also clasped his hands in return. The mere fact that Wang Da Tou would offer to cover for him, regardless of his intentions, was enough for Lin Yue to call him Brother Wang!

"Good!" Wang Da Tou suddenly burst into laughter, then ordered his men to take some high-ranking captives and orderly withdraw from the Encampment.

It wasn't until Wang Da Tou's Army had completely left that Xing Daorong released Wang Zhi, wiped sweat from his brow, and asked, panting, "Lord, what should we do with the remaining people in this Encampment?"

"Kill them, then set the Encampment on fire. We won't leave anything behind," Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Understood!" Xing Daorong replied, then smiled at Wang Zhi, "Supervisor Wang Zhi, your strength is considerable; I almost couldn't hold you back."

Lin Yue waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly. Then Lin Yue went to Wang Zhi's side and began to comfort him. Wang Zhi's chest was still heaving, clearly very angry.

"Want a cigarette?

Pah, pah, pah, how about a can of happy fatty water?" Lin Yue pulled out a can of happy fatty water from his spatial ring and dangled it in front of him.

Wang Zhi's emotions paused, and he stole a glance, but quickly returned to his original state.

"Then how about a can of Sprite? It's pretty good." Lin Yue pulled out another can of Sprite and said with a smile.

Seeing no reaction from Wang Zhi, Lin Yue had no choice but to pull out another can of Qixi, opening it as he spoke: "Is Qixi okay? You haven't had this one."

The moment the cap was opened, a crisp hiss of gas sounded. Wang Zhi stole another glance, his throat bobbing, but he still remained motionless.

"I know! This will work! If you're afraid of getting internal heat, drink Wang Laogu!" Lin Yue took out another bottle of herbal tea and handed it to Wang Zhi, saying directly, "Don't be angry. Why bother arguing with a rude person? 'Da Tou, Da Tou' (Big Head), is his nickname for nothing?

Everyone knows he's foolish, it's just that no one says it." Lin Yue comforted him.

The funniest thing was that Wang Da Tou didn't realize he had unintentionally offended Wang Zhi until he left. If you say he's foolish, he can instantly grasp She Jian's intentions; if you say he's smart, he can still do such brainless things. Who knows what's inside his 'big head'?

"Really? You all know?" Wang Zhi asked suspiciously.

"Really, why bother arguing with a fool? Didn't you see he didn't even react?

Have a sip to calm down, it reduces internal heat." Lin Yue smiled as he handed Wang Laogu to Wang Zhi, thinking that no matter how capable he was, he was still just an adolescent; a bit of coaxing would do.

In later generations, people his age were in their rebellious phase, and having their shortcomings exposed like that would inevitably make them irritable.

However, he still understood Wang Zhi very well. After all, when someone is so angry, and the instigator feels nothing is wrong, that feeling of silently fuming is truly the most irritating.

Wang Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and indignantly gulped down some Wang Laogu!

"Pfft!"

Wang Zhi turned his head and spat it out, "What is this? Why does it taste so strange?"

"Herbal tea. If you're not used to it, try this one." Lin Yue, adhering to the principle of avoiding waste, handed him the previously opened Qixi.

Wang Zhi took a sip, smacked his lips, and then said, "It's not as good as happy fatty water."

Lin Yue laughed heartily and then led Wang Zhi out of the Encampment.

Wang Zhi's mood had improved somewhat, so he spoke, "Do you know the relationship between Wang Li and Wang Da Tou?"

Lin Yue stopped and asked, "What relationship?"

"Wang Da Tou's grandfather was a retainer who started with Marquis Wu Cheng, Wang Jian. They were also kinsmen.

And Wang Da Tou's father was the personal guard of Marquis Tongwu, Wang Ben.

As for Wang Da Tou, he grew up with Wang Li since childhood. One could say Wang Da Tou was the assistant they prepared for Wang Li," Wang Zhi said calmly.

"So, don't believe what Wang Da Tou said about not informing Wang Li, or covering for you in front of Wang Li.

If necessary, Wang Da Tou would inform Wang Li of the number, time, place, and duration of his conjugal visits.

Don't doubt what I say. You are not from a prominent family; you will never understand."

Wang Zhi shook his head, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"They have such a relationship?" Lin Yue was a little surprised.

"Yes! Few people in the Great Wall Legion know about it." Wang Zhi nodded somewhat proudly, then asked with some confusion:

"But I can't understand why Wang Da Tou would give up such a great opportunity and choose to retreat to the Encampment? You should know that even if he lost all 100,000 of his men, General Wang Li would not punish him. This puzzles me."

"Perhaps he also had some reservations. If there really was an Encampment that hadn't sent out troops, then his 100,000 men going to raid it would result in complete annihilation," Lin Yue said with a smile, then thoughtfully asked:

"Why aren't you afraid that I will fail? I am not Wang Da Tou. If I lose, General Wang Li will certainly not spare me! At that time, as the Supervisor, although he cannot do anything to you, His Majesty will also punish you."

"Because I have read your battle reports. Every time you raid an Encampment, you return with a great victory. No matter the situation, you always turn danger into safety.

One could say you are blessed by the gods, with profound good fortune. In my opinion, it's as if the words 'auspicious and propitious' are practically plastered on your forehead!

So, I choose to believe you.

After all, if a General like you dares to gamble, what do I, a Eunuch, have to be afraid of?" Wang Zhi said with a faint smile.

Lin Yue nodded uncontrollably after hearing this, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and stared into Wang Zhi's eyes, asking, "No, this is wrong. How did you know about such a secret matter concerning Wang Da Tou?"
