"Sir, did you fail to catch up with the convoy transporting the precious stones?" Wang Han had just returned to the inn when the waiter rushed up to him, eager to ask. Wang Han had given him a generous tip when he left, so the waiter was naturally very attentive.
"Why didn't you tell me it was the Flower Stone Tribute before?" Upon hearing this, Wang Han couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Sir, you didn't ask, so I assumed you were on military business chasing after the tribute of precious stones," the waiter said hesitantly. Seeing Wang Han in his imposing armor and knowing he was chasing after the escort team, the waiter naturally thought of the tribute of precious stones, which was the most recent one.

"Who said I went to chase the Flower and Stone Tribute? I went to chase the Birthday Tribute," Wang Han said, shaking his head. He didn't blame the waiter, but only regretted that he hadn't made himself clear and had forgotten about the Flower and Stone Tribute.
"Birthday tribute?" Upon hearing this, the waiter thought carefully and shook his head, saying, "I haven't heard of that."
"Forget it, just keep an eye on things quietly. If the information is correct, you'll get your share of the benefits, maybe twenty or thirty taels. But don't let anyone know, not even the government, or they'll kill you. Now you can go about your business!" Wang Han shook his head and went up to the second floor of the inn.
"I understand," the waiter quickly whispered to Wang Han, who was going upstairs.

Meanwhile, the escort team, after collecting the corpses of the five monsters along with the iron arrows that Wang Han had not taken, continued to urge the farmers to continue their journey.
However, they also remembered Wang Han's words and, without causing trouble for the people or wasting money, dismissed some of the farmers.
However, because of the occurrence of monsters and the emergence of a mysterious and powerful figure like Wang Han, they dared not delay their journey any longer. In fact, they quickened their pace, with soldiers even pulling the carts. Their sole aim was to reach the capital as soon as possible and report the situation in detail.
————————————————
The next day, the news spread like wildfire throughout Yuncheng County.
As the dismissed farmers returned, news of the valiant and mysterious general killing several monsters spread throughout the streets and alleys of the county. By noon, within half a day, the topic of discussion could be heard in almost every part of the town.
The officials escorting the precious stones were actually monsters in disguise.
The monster looked extremely fierce and disgusting, like a fleshy worm, several feet tall, and could easily throw a large man more than ten meters away with one hand.
The mysterious and mighty general is a celestial being descended to earth. His archery skills are superb, and he quickly and easily defeats five terrifying monsters.
The Heavenly General was eight zhang tall and had three heads and six arms. The monsters were like children in front of him, and he dealt with them in no time.
Heaven instructed the soldiers not to waste manpower and resources, and the soldiers dismissed some of the farmers and laborers.
As time went on, all sorts of rumors flew around the county town. Some were true, while others were just rumors and exaggerations. But the main theme of the rumors remained the same: the five officials were monsters in disguise, and then a mysterious general in black armor appeared, forcing the monsters to reveal their true forms and killing them all.
As the news spread, some people connected it to Wang Han, who was staying at the inn. After all, Wang Han was covered in imposing armor, which concealed his face, and he was over nine feet tall, nearly ten feet, which had already attracted a lot of attention.

"Excuse me, is that mighty general here?"
As dusk fell, a short, dark-skinned, and thin man, who was over seven feet tall (Song Jiang was actually quite short), found the inn and politely asked the waiter what was going on. Behind him were two strong officers who were eight feet tall.
"Sir Song, please have a seat!" The waiter greeted the newcomer with great enthusiasm. This was none other than Song Jiang, known as the Timely Rain and the Righteous Protector.
"No, I have important business to discuss with that mighty general. Please inform him, waiter." Song Jiang shook his head and said, "Just say that Song Jiang, the top clerk of Yuncheng County, has come to pay a visit."
"This..." Upon hearing this, the waiter hesitated. Since Wang Han's return, the story of the Black-Armored Heavenly General slaying the monster had been the talk of the town in Yuncheng. Hearing the rumors, the waiter became even more attentive, listening intently to the discussions among the inn's patrons and passersby, and had already learned the initial version of the story. He even took the opportunity to find a farmer who had been dismissed and asked him for details.
He knew the military officer upstairs was extraordinary, so he was naturally very careful.
"Brother Waiter, Song Jiang has no ill intentions. Please inform him, or tell him which room General Song Jiang is staying in, and I will personally go upstairs to visit him. I will absolutely not say that you told me, Brother Waiter." Seeing the waiter hesitate, Song Jiang guessed what the waiter was thinking and did not make things difficult for him.
"This..." Upon hearing this, the waiter hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Song Jiang and the others were government officials, he knew he couldn't afford to offend them. He could only plead, "Please, Officer Song, don't say that I told you to stay in room number five of the Heavenly section. If you don't want to see Officer Song, please don't bother me anymore. I'm just a nobody with elderly parents and young children to support. Please understand, Officer Song. I also trust your reputation."
"Don't worry, sir. I, Song Jiang, guarantee with my integrity that I will not reveal a single word about you, brother." Song Jiang quickly assured the waiter after hearing his words. He then led the two constables upstairs.
"Excuse me, is the house occupied by the valiant general who vanquishes demons?" Song Jiang asked gently as he knocked on the door of room number five.
"Get out!" Wang Han's shout came from inside the room, sounding extremely impatient.
Although Wang Han had decided to use as few cheat codes as possible in this world, he didn't use any cheat codes, supernatural abilities, or bloodlines when Song Jiang arrived. He didn't even use any perception spells. But who was Wang Han? His physical attributes and five senses alone were far beyond what any other creature in this world could compare to. When Song Jiang arrived and announced his name to the waiter downstairs, Wang Han heard him clearly.
