Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 46: Unexpected Figure

After getting the letter, he began to ride back to Luoyang, and when he arrived he wanted to report it to the Emperor immediately but then he meet Lie Fan at the gate where the rest that happened led to this situation now where they meet in his Manor

Lie Fan: "So that's what happened, then do Uncle Wang thinks that we needed to report it now Your Majesty?"

Wang Yun: "Of Course! This is a travesty that a Eunuch that was favored by His Majesty is secretly in contact with the rebels!"

Lie Fan: "But does Uncle Wang think that Your Majesty will punish Zhang Rang? I think Your Majesty will only reprimand him and nothing more"

Wang Yun was silent for a while after hearing what Lie Fan said and after a couple of seconds he says that he still need to report it to the Emperor and that whatever happened after that is outside of his control as long as he had already done what he should do Lie Fan hearing that promises to help him however he can

Seeing the way Wang Yun is feeling exhausted by the situation they are facing right now, Lie Fan decided to take his leave and doesn't forget to Invite Wang Yun to his banquet personally while giving some hints that he also invited Diao Chan as well

Wang Yun accepted the invitation while acting as if he doesn't hear what Lie Fan hinted at and promised he will come when his official invitation was sent to him which closed their conversation for today

Lie Fan and Sun Qian take their leave promising Wang Yun that they will visit him sometime when they left the study followed by his bodyguards and walk toward Wang Yun's manor entrance Lie Fan sees Diao Chan sitting in the garden pavilion playing some qin.

Lie Fan stood still and watched Diao Chan playing the qin hearing the beautiful sound that she made, Sun Qian at the side let Lie Fan listen to Diao Chan playing the qin for a minute then nudge him to remind him that they are going to leave Wang Yun's manor

Lie Fan woke ups from his trance and felt a bit bad when he remembers Ying Yue at home so he walk quickly while Sun Qian followed behind him leaving Wang Yun's manor

Leaving Wang Yun's manor, Lie Fan and his retinues divide to rent a room in an Inn to take a rest as tomorrow they have to go to the Morning Court to receive Lie Fan rewards as official recognition for the Merits he has contributed

Lie Fan in his room alongside Sun Qian they were making invitation letters for the higher-ranking official and important people while the rest will be invited from mouth to mouth, in which they make the letter until late at night before taking a rest

The Next day, Lie Fan and his retinue go back to the Palace, and when they arrived received by a eunuch who led them toward the Imperial Courtroom and will be acting as their signal when will Lie Fan will go in to receive his reward

Arriving at the entrance, Lie Fan saw many officials already arrive and Emperor Ling as well sitting on his throne while listening to some domestic reports from the ministers which has just finished and now for the official reward ceremony for Lie Fan

Emperor Ling: "Now that our daily report is done, We would like to invite General Lie to come in and receive his reward!"

The eunuch hearing Emperor Ling signaled Lie Fan to enter the courtroom with a Guard introducing his name and rank while he enters the courtroom, Lie Fan walk to the front watched by all officials in the room until he arrived in front of Emperor Ling and take a knee

Lie Fan: "This servant humbly greets Your Majesty!"

Emperor Ling: "General Lie is the youngest general leading the battle but your merits are the biggest among all generals! With your accomplishment I reward you with 150.000 taels, an Imperial Manor in Luoyang, you're promoted to the rank of General of the army with the title General Of The Left, and appointed as the Inspector Of Xu Province as e recognition of your contribution to Our Empire!"

Lie Fan: "This humble General thanks Your Majesty for the reward that I received and promises to live up to Your Majesty's trust!"

While Emperor Ling announces the award Eunuch Lu comes out and holds a tray filled with insignia that represents Lie Fan's position now, tokens and seals as the Inspector of Xu Province alongside the General of the Army gave it to Sun Qian who was beside Lie Fan

Another Eunuch hold a tray filled with a certificate of a Manor alongside the address that was part of his reward and gave it to Xu Kai who received the rewards on behalf of Lie Fan

All Officials except the high-ranking official that yesterday was meeting Emperor Ling and knew about Lie Fan's rewards were shocked as many people tried to become the Inspector of Xu province especially a revered and benevolent official named Tao Qian but failed as Emperor Ling still haven't decided who will become the inspector

Lie Fan was put as the Inspector signaling the position is filled and everyone knew that this mean the rise of another talent, even though many were jealous they know that his position was almost above all except for some high-ranking positions, and Emperor Ling

Everyone began to think about how to curry favor with him as it's better to be friends than enemies, but 2 officials that were intrigued by Lie Fan's deed now admired him and wanted to make him an acquaintance but one of them is still cautious to meet other and the other wanted to talk with him after the court is done

Emperor Ling: "With the ceremony done, our meeting for this morning is done everyone is dismissed, and other rewards for the serving generals will be given without ceremony We wanted to rest now"

Everyone says goodbye to Emperor Ling and began to disperse, Lie Fan signaled Sun Quan to give the letters of invitation while he take the tray and give it to Bo Cai who entered the courtroom

Xu Kai: "Congratulations Big Brother! Now you're officially a General and The Inspector of Our province!"

Lie Fan: "Hahaha! It's nothing without everyone's contributions and this position is to be used for the people who waited for us at Xu Province!"

Lie Fan led his retinue to leave the courtroom and when they waited at the step for Sun Qian, an official approached him wanting to have a word with him

???: "Hello General Lie, first let me congratulate you on your promotion becoming the youngest-ever General and Inspector in Han history"

Lie Fan: "Thank you for your congratulation, may I know who am I speaking to right now?"

Xun You: "Let me Introduce myself, My Name is Xun You, Xun Gongda from the Xun Family"

Lie Fan hearing the name was shocked and happy as he forgot about the influential Xun family with their 2 generations of greatness that is Xun Yu and Xun You, he always try recruiting them when he was in the modern world playing ROTK games and now he met the one who excels in Military

Lie Fan: "Master Xun You?! I have long heard the name of the prestigious Xun family with Master Xun You as the brightest in their younger generation today"

Xun You: "Haha General Lie's praise is too much, I'm just a humble scholar working in the Ministry of Writing"

Lie Fan: "Master Xun You are too humble, I would like to invite Master Xun to have tea with me after this do you have time?"

Xun You: "Of course I accept, I will wait for General Lie at the Pagoda Heart restaurant private room"

Lie Fan: "All right, Master Xun You can go first and I will follow soon after"

Xun You takes his leave and Lie Fan alongside his retinue waits for Sun Qian to finish handing out the letters to high-ranking officials, seeing the time Lie Fan decided to send Xu Kai alongside Zhao Hong to the manor he got as a reward to safely keep the rewards he got

Lie Fan waited for 15 minutes before Sun Qian finally finished and they began to walk out of The Palace and enter their carriage to go towards the Pagoda Heart restaurant where Xun You is waiting for them

Lie Fan: "Master Sun, while waiting for you I meet with a genius scholar named Xun You from the Xun family, and I would like to invite him to join me so I need your skill to help me convince him"

Sun Qian: "May I know what makes My Lord interested in having him join us?"

Lie Fan hearing that decided to make up a story that he wanted to recruit Xun You as he doesn't have an explanation to justify his motive

Lie Fan: "His talent is hidden right now thanks to him working at the ministry of writing but I have heard rumors when we cultivate relations with officials before that he also has a genius mind at the military"

Sun Qian: "Just based on that rumor My Lord wanted to make him join us?"

Lie Fan: "Of course not, when I meet him I feel the same feeling when I meet Master Sun Qian and I always trust my feelings"

Sun Qian: "Haha then I will help My Lord to the best of my abilities"

When Sun Qian just finished talking, they arrived at the Pagoda Heart Restaurant and Lie Fan told the servant that an Official surnamed Xu is waiting for them and asked to be led toward his room
