oh?
He even mentioned names.
Yu Huadian's face turned serious when he heard this: "Did you see the other party's identity clearly? Is he from Yuxu Palace?"
"It doesn't look like it." The Vanguard couldn't tell the other party's identity for a moment.
Lin Che remained calm and composed. "They're right here in our camp. What are you afraid of? You'll know once you see them. Go and bring them up."
After a while, the visitors arrived.
There were only three people who came, all of them middle-aged men who looked exhausted.
Judging from their temperament, they are all military personnel.
The middle-aged man in the lead had long hair like dead grass and a weathered face, but his eyes were bright and sharp. He clasped his hands together and said:
"I believe this is the Champion Marquis. I am Lang Zhenglu, the defender of Liangjie City! Greetings, Champion Marquis!!"
Two Worlds City.
This is a very special place. From a historical perspective, it belongs to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
But because the two sides had clashed too many times in this place, the people nearby had already fled.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun could not be taken back, and Dagan could not occupy it either. Later, it simply became a place for negotiations between Dagan and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
But according to the map, this place is more than a thousand kilometers away from Liangjie City, right on the edge of the desert.
What is Lang Zhenglu, a garrison commander, doing here?
Moreover, Lin Che really didn't expect such a sudden arrival of a guard.
"It's the garrison commander. Come—please take a seat."
Lin Che was also very enthusiastic and asked them to sit down.
After serving tea and exchanging a few pleasantries, the groundwork was set.
Lang Zhenglu then formally stated, "We've taken the liberty of coming here this time because we were asked by Prince Wu to deliver supplies to Marquis Guanjun."
"Oh? Prince Wu? Are you Prince Wu's men?" Lin Che asked bluntly.
Lang Zhenglu didn't even shy away from saying, "Yes, we were cultivated by Prince Wu in the early years, which gave us the opportunity to work for Da Gan."
"Prince Wu heard that the Marquis of Guanjun was recruiting 40,000 soldiers for his mission to Yanyun State, and he was very concerned. When I entered the camp just now, I was really enlightened. As expected, a strong general has no weak soldiers."
"Prince Wu has always valued the Marquis of Guanjun. This time, he ordered us to send a silver note of one million taels, as well as a batch of supplies, including weapons and equipment."
"Because of the long journey, it is indeed difficult to find the Champion Marquis' team in the desert. I brought the banknotes, but the supplies are still in Liangjie City."
Lang Zhenglu immediately took out the banknotes and placed them in front of Lin Che with a smile.
"In fact, Liangjie City is right at the edge of the desert, not too far away. Prince Wu particularly hopes that the Champion Marquis can go to Liangjie City to replenish his equipment before setting off for Yanyun Kingdom."
"Judging from the location, if the Champion Marquis continues forward, he will reach the eastern part of Yanyun Country, which is still very far from their Yandu. But if he starts from Liangjie City, the distance will be closer."
It can be seen that Lang Zhenglu has no skill in speaking, and speaks with all his emotions.
He threw out everything at once.
Lin Che didn't look at the stack of banknotes, but spoke with great trepidation:
"Prince Wu is truly too kind. He has gifted me so many war horses before, and now he is giving me banknotes and equipment. This, this humble minister cannot accept any more."
"My Lord, please accept this. This is just a small token of my gratitude from Prince Wu. Prince Wu doesn't need you to do anything. He simply admires young talents like you."
"Oh, I am truly ashamed. This small achievement is nothing compared to the great achievements of Prince Wu. Please, sir, convey my sincere gratitude to Prince Wu. I am deeply grateful—"
Lin Che is now penniless.
Of course he was not polite.
As for what Prince Wu was planning, Lin Che could probably guess it. Once he was involved, he would definitely not be able to escape unscathed.
But he had no choice.
He can escape today, but not tomorrow, unless he disbands his team on the spot and returns home.
Now that it's delivered to his doorstep, he must take it and arm himself first.
"Hahaha. We will definitely convey your words, Lord Marquis—then, Lord Marquis, would you do me the honor of visiting Liangjie City?"
"Sorry to bother you, bro."
"Hey, we're all friends. You're coming here just to give us some face. Haha."
In just a few words, the two sides reached an agreement.
Half an hour later, the 40,000-strong army of the Shenji Camp began to change direction and marched towards Liangjie City in a mighty manner.
Dao Nu heard the news and rushed over on horseback.
Lang Zhenglu and the others were originally chatting and laughing with Lin Che, discussing the characteristics of Liangjie City, when they saw Dao Nu riding over. They immediately dismounted and saluted respectfully:
"This humble official greets Master Daonu..."
"roll--"
Lang Zhenglu didn't dare to say a word and quickly hid behind the team while leading his horse.
Dao Nu looked at Lin Che and whispered:
"How dare you accept a gift from Prince Wu? Don't you know he has ulterior motives? Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for such a small profit?"
Lin Che sighed deeply and said with emotion:
"You, who receive a salary every day, naturally don't know what it means. If you don't manage a household, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. For over 40,000 people, even the daily food and drink is a huge expense."
"Let me tell you the truth. The food they brought from the village only lasts for two days. The food in my hidden sky bag is only enough for them to eat for one day. And that's even taking the pills into account."
