Chapter 699 Heavy Rain



He actually hoped that the rain would get heavier.

This way, more tenants will choose their inn, and he can make a lot of money just by staying for a few days.

What is there to fear in the end? The heaviest rain right now is the most powerful for him.

"This rain, besides, it's the autumn harvest season. If it rains so heavily, it doesn't seem to be any good for these houses... But..."

He lowered his voice, and the person sitting next to him also took a sip of tea and closed his eyes to rest.

In fact, I was trying hard to listen to what this person wanted to say.

"But, it's not easy for the rebels to operate in these road conditions, right? So, there are pros and cons. It's really unreliable that it rains during the autumn harvest season."

It's obvious that the rain in this weather will delay things... It will take him several days to go back, and if he delays here for too long, he doesn't know what the consequences will be.

However, with his ability to hear and see everything, he was able to successfully see their secret conversation at another table nearby.

They were really sitting so comfortably on the chairs. Although there was nothing unusual about them, the topic they were discussing in whispers was weird.

He only heard most of it, but the remaining part was covered by the heavy rain outside.

"Do you think he would accept us if we went to him now?"

"I doubt it."

"What do you mean by 'estimate'? Didn't we come all the way to Daqin just to seek refuge?"

"You don't know what kind of person he is. You have no talent and no knowledge of governing a country. What can you do? Eat?"

"You don't know, but I've been leading troops into battle since I was six years old. I've led hundreds of battles, big and small, and I've never lost. What about you?"

"My martial arts are well-known in the martial arts world, and I am the master's most proud and closed disciple!"

They are not weak people.

But there were so many people at that table, why were there only two people who introduced themselves? Where were the rest?

Those people's faces turned red and they said nothing. Then one of them pulled the person next to him who was almost drunk and nodded.

"You said, we have to overwhelm this group of people with our momentum."

"I... have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and now I'm studying literature. I've read a lot of books from all eras, and I'm familiar with the art of war. I once sneaked into the palace to steal..."

The kid narrowed his eyes and covered the man's mouth. It must be said that when he was drunk, he really talked nonsense for no reason. However, the group of people next to him were quite curious about what this man had stolen.

The child was also curious, so he secretly let go of the man's mouth and asked a question.

"Steal...what?"

"Have you forgotten our previous competition? Whoever steals the imperial robes from the palace..."

The child then covered his mouth. Okay, now they all heard it. How dare this guy steal court clothes? If he goes there, won’t he be beheaded directly?

"Where did you steal it from?"

"I forgot. It was a long time ago. My brain wasn't very clear after drinking so I can't remember it."

Okay, at least it's not from the Qin Dynasty. This guy is so cruel. They did have a competition. It seems that this person won because he stole the court dress, which is a priceless treasure.

It was a perfect end to the game.

The man next to him was stunned. He was usually calm when leading the army, but suddenly he felt fear towards this group of children. Although these people did not have any internal strength, their words were weird.

The child is obviously not a weakling. On the contrary, his speech and conversation are quite interesting. Moreover, his attitude when speaking is worthy of praise.

But what does he want to do? Does he want to go to the palace and no one knows him?

If you want to go to the palace, you might as well follow him. In the palace, you will have such an identity, and following him you can get a steady stream of money.

So he squatted down slowly with a pot of tea, took a stool and sat next to them, and asked a question that made them all applaud, but they still did not agree.

"If you really want to go, then go ahead. Besides, the palace is also recruiting talented officials and counselors. You kids should train for another two years. Otherwise, the emperor has high standards and may not look down on you."

The half-grown children at that table seemed to be very annoyed because someone had appeared out of nowhere and was standing beside them, pointing and talking.

He just pointed in the direction of the door and then pointed upwards, implying that he should go upstairs or go out and never stay here anymore.

"Don't say that. I have acquaintances in this palace. Besides, aren't you just trying to get into the palace? You've come all this way here. Do you really think everyone here is weak?"

When she heard that he knew someone in the palace, she curled her lips. But when she saw the clothes he was wearing, which showed that he came from a wealthy family, she began to believe it a little.

I asked him tentatively.

"Who do you know?"

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole table was in an uproar.

This is the emperor.

If he was someone related to the emperor, and they served him well, then entering the palace would be a sure thing, so they glanced at him.

Really, but seeing his unevasive gaze, they probably have an idea about you.

This should be true.

But they also had questions. So they quietly moved their benches a little bit closer to him and leaned over, some even raised their heads and leaned in close to his ear to ask.

"Then do you know why there are so many trivial matters in the palace, and why the Qin Dynasty has not developed a channel for free recruitment?"

"And it's not publicized in the martial arts world. Other countries have this rule, and Daqin seems to have it too, but now I don't know why they abolished it."

The abolition of this rule can only be attributed to the fact that when he was defeating many families in the past, this rule was of course also enforced by others.

After that person died, naturally no one cared about it. After the entire family was wiped out, it was naturally forgotten by everyone. Not to mention, because it was a family dictatorship, other people didn't know about this channel.

The emperor was so busy that he didn't think about it, so he forgot about it.

The news of the annihilation of several families seemed to have come just yesterday. Although he had not come to the Great Qin, he had heard the news in the martial arts world.

I feel endless regret for those families. It was them who offended the emperor. So I have nothing to say and I just want to destroy them.

He has always maintained the relationship that it is better for a fellow Taoist to die than for a poor Taoist to die. Now he says that they are not even fellow Taoists, so why should he save him? It is just a joke.
