69: Mr. Ye

“Brother Ye, Brother Chen, Brother Yang, Brother Mai, quickly take your seats.” Yuan Shao said with a smile, rising to greet them. Everyone else also stood up.

Lin Yue secretly glanced at Cao Cao, seeing a faint, almost imperceptible look of annoyance on his face, but it quickly returned to normal.

This also sparked a hint of curiosity in Lin Yue’s heart.

“I arrived a bit late; please don’t mind me, everyone.” The man said with a smile, bowing.

The four men entered in sequence, two in front and two behind.

Brother Ye?

Lin Yue was a bit confused, so he subconsciously used the Art of Recognizing People to examine the four men.

But the next moment, he fell into doubt.

Could it have failed?

Lin Yue used the Art of Recognizing People on the two men again, but the result remained unchanged!

What is going on?

Could it be that I used it too much today? But the Art of Recognizing People doesn’t have a cooldown!

Besides, the Art of Recognizing People is effective on players too, so why do these two show a string of question marks?

Lin Yue thought for a moment, then turned to use the Art of Recognizing People on the two burly men behind them.

Good heavens, a First-rate Military General Yang Da Yan, and a Second-Rate Military General Mai Tiezhang!

It seems the Art of Recognizing People hasn’t failed.

He used the Art of Recognizing People on the first two men again, but the result still hadn’t changed!

Just as Lin Yue was puzzled, his thoughts were pulled back by a voice.

“How should these two Brothers be addressed? Ben Chu, aren’t you going to introduce them?” The leading man asked, his gaze fixed on Lin Yue like a torch.

“These two are distinguished guests, let them introduce themselves.” Yuan Shao said with a smile.

“I am Li Mu, serving in the Great Wall Legion, with the rank of Military Marquis.” Li Mu cupped his hands and said with a smile.

“Brother Li’s father is Prime Minister Li.” Yuan Shao said in a low voice.

“Greetings, Brother Li.” The two bowed to Li Mu after hearing this.

“I am Lin Yue, a Captain in the Great Wall Legion.

How should I address you two?” Lin Yue asked in return, always feeling that there was something mysterious about the two men.

“I am Ye Xuan, serving in the Censorate.”

“I am Chen Ran, serving in the Garrison Army, holding the position of Squad Leader.”

Ye Xuan and Chen Ran!

Memories instantly flooded back; one was the founder of The Number One Village Under Heaven! The other was the founder of the ninth village under heaven!

It was that jerk!

However, the two villages were wiped out not long after their establishment, so why could they appear openly in Xianyang at this moment?

And both held official positions!

One in the imperial court, one in the Military Camp!

“A pleasure, a pleasure!” Lin Yue cupped his hands.

Then everyone took their seats in order, and waitresses came to pour wine for everyone.

Yuan Shao nodded slightly to the musicians and dancers standing by.

Then the guzheng music began, and the dancers’ bodies swayed gracefully with the rhythm. The white silk ribbons also gently moved with the music, creating an indescribable beauty.

“Everyone, quickly try this; it’s the famous Xifeng wine.” Yuan Shao said with a smile.

Lin Yue took a sip; it was spicy on the tongue. He heard that most ancient wines were low-alcohol, so he didn’t expect the game to set the alcohol content of Qin Dynasty wine so high.

“Ah, have any of you ever heard of Maotai?” Ye Xuan suddenly asked.

“What is that?” Li Mu asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I tasted it by chance during my travels. It was delicate and smooth on the palate, truly a fine vintage, but it’s unobtainable now.” Ye Xuan sighed.

He subtly glanced at Lin Yue, and seeing that Lin Yue was unmoved and showed no unusual reaction, he said no more.

“It’s a pity that such a fine vintage cannot be tasted.” Yuan Shao and Xu You also sighed.

“Brother Lin looks very familiar; may I ask where your home is?” Ye Xuan suddenly asked.

“Heye City in Liaodong Commandery; I’ve lived there since I was young.” Lin Yue said with a faint smile.

He couldn’t hide this public information, so he might as well say it openly.

Moreover, Xiao Cang Village was destroyed by players, with no survivors. As long as he insisted he was Lin Yue, there was no chance of exposure.

He was Lin Yue! Lin Yue was him!

“Oh? Is it the Heye City mentioned in the Hero Summons?” Ye Xuan asked.

“What Hero Summons?” Lin Yue looked bewildered after hearing this.

“Yes, what Hero Summons?

Everyone present is a hero, so why haven’t we heard of it?” Cao Cao said with a hearty laugh.

“Heh heh, it’s Heye City in Liaodong Commandery, the place where the Outsiders first attacked the Government. That was the Outsiders’ first organized rebellion, and even Marquis Ningyuan Li Chengliang was reprimanded by His Majesty’s decree.” Ye Xuan said with a smile.

“Although Li Chengliang occupies Liaodong, he lacks initiative and can only defend; he is a dry bone in a tomb, what kind of hero is he?” Cao Cao took a sip of wine, then refilled his cup and raised it: “Come, everyone, drink heartily!”

Everyone, after hearing Cao Cao’s evaluation, didn’t take it to heart, but all laughed and raised their cups: “Drink heartily!”

“For this, His Majesty even bestowed a baronetcy. Brother Lin, you wouldn’t happen to be that Baron, would you?” Ye Xuan asked suddenly after putting down his cup.

“I am indeed the humble one.” Lin Yue said with a smile, but his heart was somewhat uneasy.

This Ye Xuan had tested him repeatedly; could he have been exposed?

“Baron?” Everyone gasped softly. Nobility was not bestowed without military merit, and although it was only a baronetcy, among the younger generation, it was already quite remarkable!

“I didn’t expect Young Master Lin, of the same age as me, to already be a Baron. We are truly ashamed of ourselves!” Ye Xuan said, then raised his cup again: “Today, I am fortunate to meet Brother Lin. Everyone, drink heartily!”

Lin Yue once again raised his cup and drank it all.

The sound of wine entering stomachs echoed at the table, accompanied by shouts of encouragement.

“Ugh… it’s coming, it’s coming! The famous Song Dynasty courtesan, Li Shishi, is about to appear!

This Yanlai Brothel, the consumption isn’t low, but it’s definitely worth every penny!

Your little brother is short on cash, Brothers, quickly send some gifts!

Brothers, give us a follow, so you don’t get lost!

Today, I’ll open your eyes, Brothers!”

Erbai Liang was also shouting loudly next door, his voice full of excitement!

After General Yu was captured, he could only stream his labor at Epang Palace, and his popularity had greatly decreased. He had accidentally obtained an identity document, allowing him to travel between various cities, and now he even had the momentum to become the number one streamer of ascension!

Lin Yue and the others next door, hearing this voice, all looked at each other.

Ye Xuan gave Chen Ran a look, and the latter then left the private room with Mai Tiezhang.

“Brother Lin, did you also come here today to see Miss Li Shishi?” Ye Xuan asked.

“Everyone present, who isn’t here to see Miss Shi Shi?” Lin Yue said with a smile.

“Exactly, exactly! Brother Lin truly suits my taste. Come, everyone, drink this cup heartily!” Cao Cao laughed loudly, once again raising his cup.

“Everyone, drink heartily!” Everyone laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was pleasant, but Lin Yue felt a bitter taste in his heart.

He wasn’t good at drinking to begin with, and he had to constantly face Ye Xuan’s traps, which was difficult to handle. He was afraid that he might accidentally expose the fact that he was a player!

He understood in his heart that this Ye Xuan, for some reason, seemed to have decided that he was a player at this moment.

As expected of the founder of The Number One Village Under Heaven, his schemes were very deep.

This sneaky guy!

Then, after a dance, a few drops of fragrant sweat slid down the dancer’s forehead.

Taking advantage of this brief rest, Ye Xuan asked again:

“Brother Lin, what kind of cultivation method do you practice?”
