"Greetings, former general!"
The guests in the reception building also recognized Qin Wen and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
The main person was right in front of him. Yuchi Gong did not hesitate. He immediately stood up and cupped his fists.
"That's great. Please accept me, former general."”
Qin Wen nodded lightly. After looking at Yuchi Gong's attributes, he made arrangements.
"Alright, you'll be the commander of my personal guards for the time being.”
Hearing this, Yuchi Gong was overjoyed.
A domineering appearance was just a disguise. Yuchi Gong was actually quite quick-witted. A fool would know that only by following his lord would he be able to stand out as soon as possible.
"Thank you, my lord."
Yuchi Gong chuckled, expressing his gratitude.
After successfully finding a super first-class general, Qin Wen saw that there were more and more people in the restaurant, so he stood up and left.
However, the cup on the table remained untouched.
Xu Shu's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He scooped the two in his hand, plugged the cork, and stuffed them into his arms.
Yuchi Gong was a step too late and could only stare.
After leaving the restaurant, Qin Wen returned to the City Lord's Mansion in Tan City and received a battle report.
The battle report came from Yang Zaixing.
In a day, Yang Zaixing had either attacked or suppressed the enemy, taking down forty-three cities.
Along the way, the towns and villages heard that Zang Ba had been defeated by Qin Wen and welcomed him.
Now that more than half of Dong Hai County was in Qin Wen's hands, it was only a matter of time before he seized the rest.
Thinking of this, Qin Wen was in a good mood.
He took out the luminous cup and filled it with wine. He waited for the wine to be placed while dealing with government affairs.
Time passed quietly.
At night, Qin Wen finished his meal.
He was practicing his spear in the courtyard when Xu Shu hurried over.
"Congratulations, my lord!”
"Hmm?"
"Yes!"
Qin Wen raised an eyebrow. These words sounded so familiar. It couldn't be someone who sent his sister over again, right?
Xu Shu didn't keep him in suspense and explained,
"My lord, I've been ordered by Tao Qian to bring you a carriage full of gifts."”
Gift?
At this time, it was obvious what Tao Qian wanted to do.
Qin Wen nodded lightly."Bring Mei Zhu to the main hall of the City Lord's Estate. I'll be there after I change my clothes."”
"Yes."
Xu Shu cupped his hands and left.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Estate, Mi Zhu sat upright.
There was a young man standing beside him.
Xu Shu looked at the young man first, then at Mi Zhu. He picked up the tea and smiled without saying anything.
However, the young man could not help but ask softly,
"Where is General Zang Ba?"”
A strange look flashed across Xu Shu's eyes. He quickly put on a smile and said,
"My Lord has always treated his captives well. Zang Ba has good wine and beautiful women to accompany him in Tancheng. He is as happy as an immortal."”
"Damned traitor!"
The young man gritted his teeth.
Mei Zhu frowned and said unhappily,""Yuanlong, don't forget the Prefecture Overseer's instructions.”
The young man stopped talking and stood to the side.
Soon, footsteps came from outside the hall.
"Marquis Langya!" Seeing the familiar figure, Mei Zhu hurriedly stood up and greeted him. He cupped his hands and greeted him.
"Mi Zhu greets Marquis Langya."
The young man behind him was stunned and carefully sized up this young man who was not much different from him.
Be it appearance or bearing, they were all much better than him. He felt disappointed.
After Qin Wen and Mei Zhu greeted each other, he noticed the gazes on them and looked over.
"And this is?"
"This is Chen Deng. The Prefecture Overseer sent him to assist me.”
The word "assist" was rather meaningful.
With Mi Zhu's ability, he didn't need anyone's help for a small matter like giving a gift.
It was called assistance, but it was actually monitoring.
Qin Wen quickly understood the meaning behind it.
Qin Wen took a deep look at Chen Deng, then walked up and sat down.
A moment later, they got to the main topic.
Mei Zhu stood in the middle of the hall and took out a list of gifts. His loud voice echoed in the hall.
"I heard that Zang Ba invaded Langya County for no reason. The Prefecture Overseer ordered me to send 100,000 taels of gold, 10,000 warhorses, 300 beauties, 50,000 craftsmen…"
One gift after another was reported.
Qin Wen listened quietly, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.
About fifteen minutes later.
Mi Zhu finally finished reading the list of gifts.
The hall was completely silent. Only the sound of fingers tapping on a few tables echoed.
Mi Zhu held the gift list and did not say a word.
Xu Shu drank his tea as if he had not heard anything.
The three of them did not seem to be in a hurry.
However, Chen Deng was anxious and broke the silence.
"Marquis Langya, Dong Hai County belongs to Xu Prefecture and is under the jurisdiction of the Prefecture Overseer.”
The knocking stopped abruptly.
Three pairs of eyes gathered on him.
Qin Wen looked puzzled."Oh? When did Dong Hai County fall into my hands?"
"Then why doesn't Langya Marquis know Langya County?”
Chen Deng asked again.
Qin Wen glanced at Chen Deng."Why should I answer your question?”
"You…"
Chen Deng's face flushed red as he suppressed his anger.
Xu Shu put down his tea and shook his head.
A young man was a young man. He couldn't hold his temper anymore.
However, on second thought, the lord seemed to be a young man as well. His gaze suddenly became strange.
"Sigh."
Mei Zhu sighed and finally spoke.
"Marquis Langya, actually, I came here because the Prefecture Overseer has other instructions. Chen Deng, take it out.”
Chen Deng took a deep breath when Mei Zhu called his name. He stood in the middle and took out a brocade box from behind him.
Qin Wen had a strange expression.
Where did this guy get such a big box?
Lightning in his crotch?
At this moment, Mi Zhu opened the lid of the box and took out a map from it.
"This is the topographic map of Xu Prefecture. Lord Prefecture Overseer is willing to give it to Marquis Langya."”
Qin Wen stared at the map for a while and soon lost interest. It was not as detailed as the map that Mi Zhu had given him.
This was not the end. Mi Mi put down the map and took out another box from the brocade box.
Chen Deng's expression changed drastically when he saw the box.
He didn't know that there was such a thing in the brocade box.
"Mi Biejia, this is…"
Mei Zhu glared at him and opened the brocade box, revealing an ancient seal.
"The Prefecture Overseer said that if the Marquis of Langya doesn't leave Xu Prefecture, he must be aiming for Xu Prefecture. He is willing to give up Xu Prefecture's Prefecture Overseer, and Xu Prefecture will give up.”
Hehe,
Qin Wen felt disdain in his heart.
However, he put on an angry expression and berated,
"Xu Prefecture Overseer, you're setting me up. I have no interest in Xu Prefecture. Take the seal back."”
Facing Qin Wen, who was full of righteousness, Chen Deng's understanding was confused. Who was this person?
He would occupy Dong Hai County and not leave.
After a while, he refused to accept the position of Xu Prefecture's herdsman.
Mi Zhu had already guessed the outcome. He calmly put away the seal and topographic map and cupped his hands.
"Marquis Langya is sincere. I will report this to the Prefecture Overseer. The Prefecture Overseer said that Dong Hai County will be temporarily managed by Marquis Langya."”
Oh my ~
Qin Wen looked at the petrified Chen Deng.
