"Isn't this Lord Prefect? To actually trouble you to personally deliver it, it's really troublesome!”
Xiao Han went out and sized up the person who had come. It was the eunuch Zhongche Fuling, who had been accompanying Qin Shihuang, held the imperial jade seal, and often served Qin Shihuang.
He smiled slightly and took the official seal. At the same time, he took out a small bag of gold from the system space and stuffed it into the governor's hand.
"Aiyo! General Xiao is young and promising, and has won His Majesty's appreciation. I didn't expect him to know me!”
The prefecture commander weighed the weight, but the small bag almost fell to the ground.
One could imagine how heavy the weight was.
The old man's eyes immediately lit up. This was definitely gold, and there was a lot of it.
His originally stern face immediately blossomed with a smile. This trip was not in vain. This new general really knew how to behave.
Hence, he added," By the way, His Majesty also said that the military situation is urgent. He hopes that General Xiao will go to the military camp tomorrow to hand over to General Meng Tian and lead the troops north."”
"Thank you for your reminder, Prefectural Magistrate. In the future, if Your Majesty has anything to say, I will need your advice!”
Xiao Han smiled and said politely.
In his heart, he understood that this was indeed the way of officialdom. Qin Shihuang had clearly asked him to bring a message, but this prefecture order did not say it from the beginning.
He only spoke after he gave the money to the other party.
If ordinary people didn't know and really accepted the official seal without paying, they would be scammed.
Therefore, it was necessary for an official to give some tips.
In the future, if anything happened in the palace, he would be the first to know. This was considered mutually beneficial.
"Haha! Of course, of course. The palace is busy. His Majesty is still waiting for my reply!”
The Prefect accepted the gold and beamed with joy. He had agreed to Xiao Han's request and turned to leave.
"Eh? Big brother, you're back. How is it? What kind of official position did you get?”
Gao Yao came back from outside with a pig's trotter in his hand. He asked when he saw Xiao Han send off the manor order.
Looking at the official seal in Xiao Han's hand, he was definitely an official this time.
"Let's talk when we get back."
Xiao Han knew that this was not the place to talk, so he spoke.
"Good! I bought some good pork trotters. I'll cook braised pork trotters for big brother today to celebrate.”
Seeing that Xiao Han was finally an official, Gao Yao followed him into the restaurant with a happy face.
Before long, Gao Yao had prepared a table full of delicious dishes. Everyone was naturally celebrating happily.
This was especially true for Duke Lu, who was different from the stern face he had when he first arrived. It could be said that everyone was beaming with joy.
With such an awesome son-in-law, what was there to worry about?
She wanted Xiao Han to get married immediately.
However, the military situation was urgent, and this could not be delayed, so the marriage had to be postponed.
After eating and drinking to their hearts 'content, Xiao Han directly arranged for Duke Lu and Lu Zhi to stay in the courtyard house at the back.
Anyway, the land here was cheap, so when he bought it, the courtyard was not just big, so he did not lack this bit of land.
Duke Lu naturally agreed. He had just arrived in Xianyang and had nowhere to go.
Of course, this mansion would still have to be changed in the future.
The purpose of the restaurant was only to attract Qin Shihuang. Now that his goal had been achieved, he had retired.
At night, Xiao Han was preparing to rest in his room.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this moment, someone knocked on the window.
"Who is it?"
Xiao Han frowned and asked.
"General, I am the Iron Eagle Swordsman Yao Jia. I have been ordered to protect your safety.”
The person outside the window simply revealed his identity.
This was Yao Jia, the Iron Eagle Swordsman sent by Qin Shihuang to protect Xiao Han.
It was said to be protection, but on the other hand, it also meant surveillance.
After all, the Black Ice Platform was an intelligence agency. Rumor had it that the Great General Sima Cuo of the State of Qin had used the method that Wu Qi used to train the soldiers of the State of Wei and selected elite soldiers from the Qin army to train them into an elite force.
After the First Emperor unified the country, it was specially used to gather intelligence and monitor officials.
"Is there anything?"
Xiao Han asked in confusion.
In fact, he had already noticed the existence of the Black Ice Platform a long time ago.
Qin Shihuang was very suspicious, or rather, all emperors were suspicious.
He had already arranged for many spies from the Black Ice Platform to surround the inn. On one hand, it was for protection, and on the other hand, it was for surveillance.
He was not the only one. In fact, all of Great Qin's important officials had people from the Black Ice Platform in their homes or surroundings to gather information.
However, he did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to find him this time.
"We just received intelligence that the remnants of the six dynasties have suddenly become active in the city. They might be going against you. I have already reported this to His Majesty. We are guarding the general and his family. Reinforcements will arrive soon.”
Yao Jia didn't hide anything and explained.
"Got it."
Xiao Han's face was gloomy as he nodded. He understood.
Not long after, he heard light but large amounts of footsteps coming from the roof tiles.
Obviously, Yao Jia had arranged for people to hide on the roof. Not only the roof, but there were also many people hiding in the darkness around the restaurant.
Xiao Han listened to the commotion on the roof and looked at the flickering candlelight. He felt that the night was not peaceful.
Under normal circumstances, Yao Jia wouldn't show his face, much less warn him. He would just settle it in secret.
Now that he had told him, the situation had already reached an extremely urgent point. It was so urgent that they could not even evacuate in time.
That was why they were lying in ambush.
"Who is it? Yi Xiaochuan, Xiang Yu, or perhaps they were going to attack together?”
Xiao Han drew his sword and looked at the cold light.
It seemed that his sword would bleed again tonight.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
Xiao Han sheathed his sword and asked.
"Big Brother Xiao, it's me!"
Lu Su's lowered voice came from outside the door.
"Geji!"
Xiao Han opened the door and saw Lu Su standing at the door sneakily. She looked behind her from time to time, as if she was worried about being discovered.
Seeing that the door had opened, Lu Su quickly entered the house and closed the door before letting out a long sigh.
"Su 'er, it's so late. Why are you here? And you're acting so sneaky."
Xiao Han looked at Lu Su's cute appearance and was stunned as he asked.
"You are leaving tomorrow. Tonight, I want, I want…you to accompany me.”
Lu Su's face was a little red. Originally, with her personality, she would not enter Xiao Han's bedroom at night. However, Xiao Han had to go to the military camp tomorrow to hand over the troops and lead the troops to war.
Women were not allowed in the military camp, so who knew when Xiao Han would return next time.
Moreover, people would die in a war. She was also worried about Xiao Han.
She hoped that she could give her body to Xiao Han on this last night.
However, she was not allowed to take that step before marriage. She had also made up her mind to sneak over after watching her father, Duke Lu, sleep.
