Zhang Rang even gave the carriage to Mu Ge and asked a subordinate to accompany Mu Ge to get the hundred packets of cigarettes. Before he left, Zhang Rang repeatedly reminded Mu Ge to quickly refine the cigarettes. It was obvious how greedy this person was.
Mu Ge asked the coachman to bring him to Xun Manor. Xun Yu had already returned. When he heard the servant report that Mu Ge had returned, he hurriedly walked out.
"Ziyu, how is it? Did His Majesty ask you about the cigarettes?" Xun Yu asked Mu Ge.
Mu Ge didn't expect Xun Yu to have guessed the reason why His Majesty called him. He nodded and said,""His Majesty is very fond of cigarettes and asked me to send the refined cigarettes to the Imperial Palace. His Majesty also rewarded me with a hundred taels of gold and dozens of bolts of silk.”
"It's good that you're fine. To be able to receive a reward from His Majesty, Ziyu can be said to have two blessings today.”Xun Yu said with a smile.
Mu Ge returned to his room and pretended to put the cigarettes in a small box. There were exactly 100 packets of cigarettes inside. Mu Ge handed them to Zhang Rang's attendant and the matter was considered complete.
Mu Ge went to tell Cai Yong that he was safe, and Cai Yong let Mu Ge go to his residence tomorrow.
After dinner, Mu Ge returned to his room and a little girl snuck into his room.
"Brother Mu, you promised to tell Xin-er a story. Don't go back on your word!”
Mu Ge smiled. This girl had a good memory.
" Alright, Brother Mu will tell you the story. The name of the story is 'The Little Match Girl.' Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was about the same age as Xiner, but she was very pitiful." Mu Ge sat by the bed and patiently told the little girl a story.
Even after the story was finished, Xun Xin was still very engrossed in it. She said coquettishly,"Brother Mu, tell Xin-er another story. Xin-er likes it very much.”
"No, just one is enough. It's getting late, you should go back and rest, otherwise Wen Ruo will come over to scold you.”Mu Ge shook his head.
Seeing Mu Ge's decisive tone, Xun Xin could only listen to Mu Ge obediently. If she didn't listen, what would happen if she didn't have any stories to listen to in the future?
After Xun Xin left, Mu Ge closed the door and opened a large box in the room. It immediately shone with golden light, so bright that Mu Ge's eyes were a little dazzled.
"A total of one hundred and thirty-two taels of gold. I can finally exchange them for gems!”Mu Ge felt like he had been waiting for this day for half a century.
" System, I want to exchange for gems." Mu Ge shouted at the system in his mind.
"Exchanging one gemstone costs 100 gold taels. Do you want to exchange?”the system asked.
"Yes, sir!" If I don't exchange it, will it still go moldy? Oh, gold won't go moldy. I'm mistaken.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for exchanging for one Forging Gem. Do you wish to use it? If you don't use it, you can store it in your personal storage.”
"Use it."
"Host, please choose the type of weapon you want to forge. Force, weapon, or grain. Please choose one.”
"Force!" Mu Ge answered without hesitation. He had been waiting for this day for almost two months.
Which man didn't have the dream of being a hero? Mu Ge dreamed of being a great general who excelled in martial arts. He would ride a tall horse and charge into the enemy's army. No one could stop him wherever he went. Mu Ge had waited for this dream for too long.
"Forging martial strength. I have chosen to start forging. The first time you forge martial strength, you may feel a little uncomfortable.”
As soon as the system finished speaking, Mu Ge felt as if a ball of fire had suddenly surged into his body. The scorching heat spread throughout his entire body, causing Mu Ge to grimace in pain.
However, just as Mu Ge was in excruciating pain, the forging furnace in his mind started playing background music.
"The windmill is spinning. The scenery here is so beautiful. The sky is beautiful, and the ground is beautiful.
And happy little friends."
Mu Ge felt as if his body had undergone a huge change. He had never felt so much power in his entire body before.
Furthermore, Mu Ge realized that his height seemed to be increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only had he grown taller, but muscles that were not there before had also appeared on his arms and abdomen.
The forging process ended very quickly, and Mu Ge's pain stopped abruptly. It disappeared instantly and was replaced by a refreshing and refreshing feeling. Mu Ge was so comfortable that he almost grunted.
"Forging successful. Congratulations to the host for raising your martial strength to a second-rate general.”the system said in Mu Ge's mind.
"Second-rate general? Not bad." Mu Ge said contentedly.
The system had divided the strength of the generals of the three Ancient Earth countries into several levels. Starting from the lowest-level, no-name generals, these generals only had a little bit of brute force and could be killed in numbers.
Above them were the third-rate generals. Most of them were centurions or lieutenants in the barracks. Their martial strength was not bad. Many dukes were only third-rate generals. Cao Cao and Liu Bei were all third-rate generals.
Second-rate generals were second in rank. Second-rate generals were skilled in martial arts and had the ability to fight a hundred people at once. These generals were considered elites, and it was not a problem for them to serve as deputy generals or partial generals in the army.
Next were the first-rate generals. First-rate generals were the most sought after by the various dukes. For example, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and so on. These people were all first-rate and could lead an army of ten thousand men.
Finally, there were the top-notch generals, also known as Peerless Generals. These kinds of generals were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, one in ten thousand.
Peerless generals were the treasures of the dukes. Their martial strength was extremely high. Not only were they invincible, but they also treated millions of soldiers as nothing. Of course, this was definitely a little exaggerated.
However, the strength of such a general was definitely at the peak of the general level. For an ordinary dukedom to be able to obtain one was already considered to have won the lottery.
However, the Peerless Generals of the ordinary dukes would not be interested in you and would not follow you. This was also the reason why the distribution of Peerless Generals in the Three Kingdoms of Ancient Earth was very uneven.
