358: Return to the fiefdom!

Last night, Lin Yue barely ate any meat, only vegetables and rice, but he drank until he was completely plastered.

Many Generals took the opportunity to toast him, hoping Lin Yue would look after their nephews and nieces, and even General Yang Xiong came.

Furthermore, Lin Yue was one of the rare border Generals who soared to the "central government," which made them see unlimited potential in him.

So, Lin Yue drank until he was completely plastered in a joyous atmosphere, and he couldn't even remember how he returned.

But it wasn't over yet; early in the morning, before dawn, Lin Yue was woken up by She Jian.

Feeling like his head was about to explode, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Get up, Yang Shao is being buried today," She Jian said in a deep voice.

Only then did Lin Yue come to his senses; he quickly washed his face and followed She Jian out of the barrack.

Colonel Yang Shao was posthumously ennobled as a baron yesterday, and Yang Dengshan inherited the title.

At the time, She Jian said that Yang Shao's last wish was not to be buried until the Xiongnu were defeated, so today he could finally rest in peace.

Lin Yue waited for a while, and the Generals had already gathered, holding their weapons and lining up to see him off on his final journey.

Yang Dengshan, dressed in mourning attire, was at the front, while She Jian, Liu He, Gao Hui, and Lin Yue carried his coffin.

"Old brother, we have thoroughly defeated the Xiongnu; you can rest in peace now," She Jian said in a deep voice, his hand on the coffin.

There weren't many formalities in the Army, but the necessary procedures were not omitted, and it didn't end until noon.

Afterward, everyone started cooking, as Yang Shao had been gone for half a year, and they had emerged from their grief, so there wasn't much sadness among them, as dying on the battlefield was the fate of a Soldier.

While eating, Lin Yue asked, "I plan to depart tomorrow. Are you returning to Xianyang?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I return?

I haven't been home in a long time, so I'll take this opportunity to go back and see," She Jian said.

"Then are you going directly back to Xianyang, or are you coming back to my Fief with me?" Lin Yue asked again.

"I'll go back with you and see how your Fief is being developed," She Jian said with a smile.

"Alright," Lin Yue nodded, shoveled the last bite of rice into his mouth, and stood up to leave.

The handover of an Army was far from a one or two-day affair, but fortunately, the person who was taking over command of the White Horse Righteous Cavalry was Pan Feng, so many things were simplified.

But it was still enough to keep him busy.

This time, returning to the Fief, the Generals heard that Xing Daorong was proposing marriage, and they eagerly wanted to go back together to witness this moment, so all the Generals of the Army accelerated the handover process.

Lin Yue looked at the mountain of official documents piled before him, sighed, and said to Pan Feng, "You handle it."

Leaving a bewildered Pan Feng behind, Lin Yue stepped out of the great tent and walked away.

At this moment, Lin Yue felt a bit emotional; he was about to leave the Great Wall Legion, and for a moment, he felt a little reluctant to part with it.

Here, there was a vast and boundless grassland, and standing here, it was difficult to feel sad, but today, for some reason, he felt a faint trace of melancholy.

Soon, construction would begin here; it was said that the artisans and laborers coming to build were already on their way.

Their task was to connect the original "Zhao Great Wall" with the Qin Great Wall and the Yan Great Wall, building a great wonder that stretched from Lintao in the west to Liaodong in the east, spanning ten thousand li—oh no, in the game, it was a million li—the "Million-Li Great Wall"!

This was not all; after Great Qin captured the Ordos Loop, they also had to build 44 cities along the ancient Yellow River and establish Jiuyuan Commandery!

After that, they also had to build the legendary Qin Straight Road, a north-south straight road from Xianyang directly to the Yin Mountains.

General General Meng Tian led the Soldiers and artisans of the Great Wall Legion to overcome complex terrain and treacherous roads, building this ancient road that was not abandoned until the Qing Dynasty, which could be said to be a merit for the present and a benefit for a thousand autumns.

Unfortunately, Lin Yue would not be able to participate in these great projects.

"Bang!" Lin Yue came before Wang Zhi, dumping hundreds of boxes of "soda" in front of him and saying, "Here you go. Are you coming back to our Fief with us?"

Wang Zhi put them into his spatial treasure and said with a smile, "Of course."

Lin Yue smiled, waved his hand, and left.

Afterward, Lin Yue went to ask for leave from the Great General and Fusu. Fusu heard that Xing Daorong was proposing marriage, so he took a jade pendant from his waist and asked Lin Yue to give it to Xing Daorong as a congratulatory gift. Lin Yue thanked him repeatedly on A Rong's behalf and then left the great tent.

Then he went to exchange some equipment using his merit points.

After coming out, he went to bid farewell to Wang Li and Wang Da Tou. Wang Li felt his body but found he only had a precious sword. In his embarrassment, he could only say, "This is all I have."

Lin Yue took Wang Li's bag, and as soon as he held it, he found it surprisingly heavy. Opening it, he saw it was a hundred taels of gold!

"Isn't this too valuable?" Lin Yue said in surprise.

This was a thousand taels of silver, which could be exchanged for nearly eight hundred thousand dragon coins in reality!

She Jian waved his hand without saying much, but Wang Da Tou saw Lin Yue off and said he would accompany Lin Yue tomorrow.

After Lin Yue bade farewell, he found the sky full of stars, not expecting time to pass so quickly.

He sighed and walked to the barrack to rest.

Tonight, for those who were about to leave, was destined to be a sleepless night... Early the next morning, all the martial Generals under Lin Yue's command whose names could be called out were waiting in front of the Encampment.

Lin Yue was also surprised when he came out of the Encampment, then smiled and said, "Have you all taken leave?"

"This humble general and the others have all taken leave," the Generals said in unison.

"That's good, let's go!" Lin Yue said with a smile, and he and She Jian rode at the very front, shouting:

"Generals, heed my command!

First to Shifu Commandery City, then take the teleportation array to Xiangping Commandery City, and finally to the Fief!

Follow me!"

"Yes!" the Generals responded.

A single horseman kicked up dust, and warhorses stirred up clouds of dust on the grassland.
