In just a moment, the cavalry arrived in front of Xiapi City.
Tao Qian hurriedly brought his officials to welcome them, the wrinkles on his old face squeezed together as he smiled.
He cupped his hands at Qin Wen, who was at the front of the group, and said,"
"Xu Prefecture Governor Tao Qian greets the bandit commander.”
The bandit lieutenant was a fifth-grade military officer, and his rank was far lower than the provincial governor Tao Qian.
But Tao Qian actually took the initiative to greet him.
Qin Wen and Xu Shu looked at each other and could see the smile in each other's eyes. It was rather interesting.
Qin Wen dismounted from his horse and cupped his fists.
"Provincial Governor Tao is too polite. I am your subordinate, so I should be the one greeting you.”
One had to know that he still had a commandant with him.
"No, no, no…"
Tao Qian stroked his white beard. Seeing that Qin Wen still didn't know, he explained,"
"Your commandant is only a temporary replacement. The rebel lieutenant was personally bestowed by the emperor. Presumably, the emperor's envoy will soon come to Taiping Village to announce the edict.”
Decree?
Qin Wen frowned.
Even in his previous life, he had never heard of an emperor giving a lieutenant the title of a lieutenant and even sending an envoy to announce an edict.
Xu Shu leaned against Qin Wen and said softly,"
"My lord, now that the Yellow Turban Army is everywhere, the emperor has made an exception and made you a lieutenant. I believe it will be of great use.”
Qin Wen's gaze focused. It seemed that there was still a follow-up to the reward.
No wonder Tao Qian was so polite.
"Let's return to Taiping Village!"
Qin Wen immediately made a decision. It would not be good if he returned late and missed the envoy.
"Captain, please wait a moment."
Tao Qian hurriedly pulled Qin Wen back and forced a smile.
"It's all thanks to the Thief Punisher Commandant that we were able to wipe out Guo Tai's main force this time. This old man will hold a banquet in the residence to welcome the Thief Punisher Commandant.”
You don't hit a smiling face.
Moreover, Tao Qian had helped him quite a bit, so he still had to give him some face.
Qin Wen nodded." Please, Provincial Governor."”
"Please."
Tao Qian laughed heartily and made an inviting gesture.
That night, the Provincial Governor's Office was brightly lit.
The sound of singing and dancing and music was endless.
In the main hall, Tao Qian sat at the head of the table, and Qin Wen sat on his left. They were only one step apart.
Sitting below were the important officials of Xu Prefecture.
Tao Qian stood up, raised his wine goblet, and said loudly,
"More than a month ago, the Yellow Turban bandits invaded Xuzhou and occupied important places such as Guangling Prefecture. Fortunately, a bandit commander bravely fought against the enemy and moved to various places.”
"First, they attacked the hinterland, seized Guangling Prefecture, and burned the rations and supplies. Then, they attacked when Zang Ba and Guo Tai were at a stalemate and killed Guo Tai in one battle.”
"Let us raise our glasses and thank the thief seeking lieutenant.”
Under Tao Qian's speech, the important officials of Xu Prefecture all stood up and raised their glasses to Qin Wen.
Only one person did not move.
Tao Qian was displeased and asked in a deep voice,
"Zang Ba, why aren't you moving? Could it be that you have a problem with my words?”
Zang Ba's face was flushed red from the alcohol. He stood up with his wine goblet and shouted,
"Ridiculous. I, Zang Ba, have been at odds with Guo Tai for a month. Even if I don't have any credit, I have to work hard.”
"Night ends and dawn rises? What dogsh * t name? Your parents must not have been educated."
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Qin Wen's face darkened. She had chosen the game name to avoid prying eyes.
What does the game name I chose have to do with you?
" Insulting my lord, you're courting death!"
Below the hall, Yang Zaixing threw away his wine glass and rushed to Zang Ba.
Zang Ba was shocked. Before he could react, Yang Zaixing's hand had already reached out and grabbed Zang Ba's neck, lifting him up from the ground.
"Let…let go…"
Zang Ba's face turned purple. He wanted to break free from Yang Zaixing's hand, but he couldn't.
"Apologize!"
Yang Zaixing slapped him.
Zang Ba's left cheek was swollen, but he still had no intention of apologizing. He just struggled.
Pa ~
Another slap.
The tooth flew out with blood and fell into the wine goblet of a minister beside him.
The hall was silent.
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
"Yang Zaixing, step down."
After a long time, Qin Wen's calm voice sounded.
Yang Zaixing threw away Zang Ba, who looked like a dead dog, and returned to his seat to continue drinking.
The few generals around him subconsciously moved away.
Qin Wen held his wine goblet and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. His calm voice echoed in the hall.
"It's just a variant human name, what does it have to do with my parents? My surname is Qin, and my name is Wen. I wonder what your parents are like. Zang Ba…how many (first) Ba? Did your father pick you up?"
The people in the hall were all local characters, so their real names would not be leaked even if they knew.
In the Age of the Empire, players were forbidden from revealing their privacy.
When the other players heard the local characters mention Qin Wen's name, they could only hear the sound of beeping.
Therefore, the game name was meant to prevent players from using it.
Zang Ba was furious.
He struggled to get up from the ground and rushed towards Qin Wen with a pig-like face.
Qin Wen didn't even blink as he quietly drank the wine in his wine goblet.
Seeing that the silver-armored general was about to get up again, Tao Qian's white beard trembled and he hurriedly berated,"
"What are you waiting for? Zang Ba was drunk and lost his manners in front of the palace.”
Soon, a group of armored guards rushed into the hall.
He dragged Zang Ba out.
The hall fell into dead silence again.
Mei Zhu, who was sitting in the front row, raised his cup again. He smiled as he looked around and said loudly,
"Everyone, although Commandant Qin is handsome, it's time for a toast.”
His half-joking words instantly livened up the atmosphere.
The important officials of Xu Prefecture echoed.
"Haha…Biejia Mi has found out. Commandant Qin is young and promising.”
"Forget it. Your grandson can already crawl. I have a daughter who is 18 years old and has excellent looks.”
"Don't let us see it, you must be preparing to find a brother-in-law.”
……
The atmosphere in the hall became lively. Everyone toasted Qin Wen, and Qin Wen responded one by one.
Below, Mei Zhu looked at Qin Wen with a strange look in his eyes. However, he quickly recovered.
The banquet lasted until late at night.
Qin Wen bid farewell to Tao Qian and prepared to return to the camp outside the city.
"Lieutenant Qin, please wait."
Mei Zhu shouted and hurriedly caught up.
"What's the matter?" Qin Wen asked, puzzled.
"Last time, I kept mentioning that Commandant Qin is extraordinary. If you have time, I welcome you to visit the Mei Residence. I will be very happy.”
Mi Zhu went everywhere to visit.
Qin Wen raised his eyebrows. His intentions were too blatant.
Thinking of Mei Zhen's tipsy face, Qin Wen seemed to recall something and smiled."
"I'll definitely do it next time. Please send my regards to Miss Mei.”
"Definitely."
Mei Zhu smiled happily and nodded repeatedly.
