Chapter 151 – Brace Yourselves

August 31st, 182 A.D.

5 A.M.

Little Dong Bai and Hua Shi opened the door and skipped to the bath in a fresh mood, leaving exhausted Tong sleeping on the bed.

Since a few days ago that Dong Bai formed the pact with Tong, both perverted women drained his seeds like they were craving it for millennia. Furthermore, Dong Bai's transformed body was Tong's ideal type of woman, he could never resist her temptation and was sucked dry every time.

He had to drag his shaking legs to the morning assembly in the morning and fell to sleep in the afternoon to regain his strength.

…

Today as well, after he took the bath, Tong slowly walked with trembling legs like a 100-year-old man to the government hall.

Before he could reach the government hall, Zhang Jiao sent a message to the clan chat.

”Tong, there's an emissary from the Emperor with soldiers in the main hall. They have come with the edict.”

Surprised, Tong texted back. ”Has he read the edict, yet?”

Zhang Jiao replied. ”No, but his attitude toward us is not very good. He came with 10 bodyguards and they refused to disarm themselves. They threatened to kill anyone that dares to stop them. Oh, he's also the same eunuch that used to visit us at our home last year. The guy that asked for our bribe...”

Tong stopped playing an old man and used his regen skill to cure his muscle pain. He dashed toward the government hall while he checked his weapon condition in his inventory.

”Two pistols, 236 bullets. I'm ok.”

Initially, he had more bullets. However, Tong gave a gun and a few clips to Li Feihong as his self-protection weapon just in case of emergency.

He glanced at another icon in his inventory with sad eyes. The broken rifle stayed in his inventory for months after the incident in Jinyang.

During the incident, Lu Bu hammered him hard on his back and stomped on his rifle while he was lying prone on the rooftop of Jinyang government building. After the roof collapsed, the rifle was buried under the wreckages. When it was recovered, several parts of the rifle was no longer in a working condition.

'That brute. A single stomp can even bend the metal barrel. I wouldn't have cared if he were to break other parts. Why the barrel!?'

The M16 barrel was bent. In this era, there was neither technology nor technique that could repair or craft a new barrel with smoothbore and the accurate size of the muzzle. Once it broke, it became a useless metal junk.

'Whatever the case, the emissary of Liu Ping shouldn't come here for a peace talk.'

”Tong, don't rush in just yet. Wait for us.”

”We're going too.”

Dong Bai and Hua Shi also detected the abnormally. It was too weird for Liu Ping to send a diplomat to Julu.

Despite being pregnant, Hua Shi took her signature compound bow with her. Dong Bai also transformed into her adult form and equipped with leather armor and a spear. They were ready for combat.

Tong wanted to stop Hua Shi from coming along, but the vibe coming from the emissary was bad as his eyebrows kept twitching non-stop.

Dong Bai had already told everyone about Liu Ping being the ”Ping” who was Tong's nemesis in his previous life. From the investigation of the Heaven, Ping knew about Tong's identity which posted a threat to his city and his family. With such information, Tong had no reason to maintain a façade with Liu Ping's men.

...

Five minutes later, Tong and his wives arrived at the main hall. More than half of the officials were already inside along with Zhang Jiao. Normally, they usually chatted or exchanged their pleasantries every time they met, yet their mood was different today.

”Hurry and fetch me Zhang Tong and his family. We don't have all day.”

On the contrary of Zhang Jiao and his subordinates, the eunuch emissary puffed his chest and raised his chin up high. His arrogant eyes looked down on everyone. He did not bow or show respect to the people inside the hall.

”Don't you have good women here? I've heard you've rescued many fine women from Ganling. We want to see them.”

”Bring us food, too. We've come a long way, so we're hungry.”

”We're short on supplies. Give us gold, too.”

His bodyguards were the same. They ordered the officials in the hall and shamelessly asked for bribes, food, women, and gold.

Tong entered the hall with a stride. He did not bother showing respect to the eunuch and his guards either.

As soon as he entered the hall, he glared at the eunuch and spoke with a clear intimidating voice.

”State your business, or leave. We're busy working here, so we don't have the times to entertain Liu Ping's dickless dogs.”

The rare overbearing attitude from Tong shocked everyone, including Zhang Jiao. It was his first time seeing this cunning son showing a reckless behavior with the officials from the Capital.

The government guards of Zhang Jiao drew their swords after they heard Tong's remark. Though it was unusual for Tong to pick a fight with someone, he was still their young master and their deputy governor.
