Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 80

Wang Yu was not a stupid person who was able to walk on the road between the Western Regions and the Central Plains.On the contrary, he is a wise man!

As a member of the Wang family in Dongxiang, Pinyang, he is also a side branch of the Wang family where Guowei Wang Jian lives.After the conversation with Moulton, Wang Song said that although he admired Moulton, he felt that Moulton was extraordinary from the conversation.

Wang Yu often wandered around in Xianyang City, relying on his status as a side branch of Wang Jian's family to make friends with some small officials in Xianyang City.Moreover, I have met many middle and high-level officials, and I have complimented and flattered these people.

Among them is the general Meng Tian who is now in charge of the army in Shangjun. At that time, Meng Tian was just an internal history.However, Meng Tian won the trust of the first emperor, showing an aura that ordinary people don't have.Just like when talking with Moulton, Moulton often showed the same momentum.

Feeling this momentum, Wang Yu guessed the identity of Moulton and others.Don't dare to neglect after that!

"Brother Mo! We will reach the capital of the Da Yuezhi Kingdom, Da Yuezhi City in thirty miles!" Wang Yu said while riding on a horse, pointing into the distance.

Looking at the distance, Moulton was filled with emotion, and then he cupped his hands to Wang Yu and said, "Thank you for your generous help on this trip! I wonder if Brother Wang will stay in Dayueshi City?"

"I will replenish some food in Da Yuezhi City, and if the price is right, I will sell all the goods in the city!" Wang Yu said his plan,

Listening to Wang Yu's plan, Moulton nodded without saying anything.

A group of people quickened their pace and arrived at the city gate before the city gate fell.

The tax collector in front of the city gate saw Wang Song and his party and stopped them.

"Where did you come from? What are you selling?" the tax collector stopped the carriage ahead and asked.

Seeing this, Wang Song pleaded guilty to Moulton and went to deal with the matter.

"My lord! We are the original merchants here, and what we sell are tea and salt and other things! Please hold your hands high!" Wang Yu carefully smiled with the tax collector, and said good things and dropped some gold leaves Secretly stuffed to the tax collector.

"You boy is on the road! But I still have to collect taxes. Report all the goods you have! I will collect according to the amount you said!" The tax collector nodded, looked at Wang Yu and said.

Wang Song knew that the tax collector was reciprocating, and he gave him a favor.He will also reward himself by letting himself pay less tax.

While Wang Yu was negotiating with the tax collector, Morton called Du Dun to whisper to him.

After Du Dun took the order, he led several people to the gate of the city.

At this time, Wang Yu was talking about how many goods he had in his caravan.

Du Dun immediately yelled at the tax collector: "What a surprise, my lord said it! This caravan doesn't have to pay taxes!"

The tax collector was about to scold someone, but he didn't expect it to be Du Dun, the king's personal guard.

Moqi was promoted by Moulton. He was originally just a small clerk in Moulton's mansion.After Moulton proposed to King Dayuezhi to increase the city gate tax and collect taxes from caravans to reduce the pressure on the treasury, he was transferred by Moulton to the city gate as a city gate tax officer.

The official is not only promoted, but also paid for.So Qi has great respect for Moulton, and is determined to follow Moulton well.

Mo Qi knew that Du Dun was the one who escorted Morton and Prince Shuqing to the south, but he didn't know why he came back.But he knew who Du Dun was talking about, and immediately saluted, "Yes! General Du Dun!"

Then, he said to the soldiers at the gate of the city: "Let go!"

The soldiers dispersed, and the caravan that Wang Yu was in began to enter the city.

Wang Teng returned to the team, bowed his hands and thanked Moulton: "Wang Teng is here, thank you brother Mo!"

"Brother Wang doesn't have to be like this! If we didn't have Brother Wang, I don't know if we would be able to answer Dayueshi City safely!" Moulton replied modestly, cupping his hands.

Seeing that the caravans had entered the city, Moulton bowed his hands to Wang Ting and said, "Brother Wang, please leave now! Hope to see you again in the future!"

Wang Yu also bowed his hands to say goodbye to Moulton, and asked Moulton and others to return their weapons to them.

in the palace.

Shu Nanting, Wang of the Dayue Clan, was dealing with government affairs and wanted to discuss with Moulton after reading one of the reports.He looked up but didn't see Moulton, and remembered that he had asked Moulton, the veteran, to go south to Qin as an envoy.

Sighing secretly, he put this memorial aside and prepared to think about it later.

At this time, Morton rode a fast horse to the palace under the guard of Du Dun and others.

Just after Moulton entered the city gate, the ministers and nobles in the city knew that Moulton was back.They were all very surprised why Morton came back suddenly, and it was without warning that even Du Dun, the leader of the mission, came back with him.

In front of the gate of the palace, the commander guarding the palace gate saw Moulton and the general Du Dun, who was a little curious and saluted: "My lord! General! Why are you back?"

Morton didn't answer the commander's words, but only asked, "Is your majesty in the main hall at this time?"

"Yes! Your Excellency!" The commander immediately replied.

"Dudun and I go to meet the king together! Everyone else stay here, don't move around!" Morton ordered.

"Yes!" Everyone saluted and responded.

When he was about to ride away, Moulton pointed to the commander again and said, "You! Send someone to find some food for these sergeants to eat!"

"Yes!" The commander saluted, and then called a centurion and a dozen sergeants to go to the barracks to get some food.

After Morton and Du Dun entered the palace, they rode wildly all the way.No one stopped Moulton and Du Dun on the whole road, because the Dayue Clan King Shu Nanting ordered Moulton to enter the palace on horseback in order to show his honor and favor to Moulton.

When they arrived at the main hall, Moulton and Du Dun said to the commander outside the main hall: "Go in and report to the king! Just tell Moulton and Du Dun to see you!"

"My lord, you don't have to do this! If you want to meet the king, you can go straight in, but you have to hand over the weapons to the young general!" The commander saluted.

"Yeah!" Nodding, he took the sword from his waist and handed it to the commander.The two entered together, ready to tell their king what had happened.

After Moulton entered the city gate, he knew that Shu Qing might not have returned.If Shu Qing came back, there wouldn't be any soldiers from the country who went out to look for him along the way.When entering the palace gate, the commander of the palace gate would not ask himself why he came back.

Outside Jiuyuan City.

Xiang Yu and his party finally arrived, looking at the busy construction site.Both Xiang Yu and Si Gou knew that General Meng Tian was expanding Jiuyuan and strengthening the walls of Jiuyuan City.

After finding Shu Qing, Xiang Yu said, "We've arrived in Jiuyuan! Can you tell us your identities? I'll report to the general and arrange a place for you!"
