Three Kingdoms' Great Agent

  Dongshi Street, Wang Lei's residence.

  In the backyard, Wang Lei and Old Man Du sat down around a stone table.

  Mr. Du hunched his back, his thin figure seemed like the setting sun, giving people a sense of dusk. The old man stared at Wang Lei, with a nostalgic look in his eyes, "Tiger Head, how many years have you followed me?"

  "It's been five years so far."

  Wang Lei answered without hesitation.

  According to his memory, he was 13 years old when his family died, and then he wandered around in Dongshi, Ye County alone. It was also that year that Old Man Mengdu valued him highly and allowed him to stand firm in Dongshi.

  In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

  The old man looked up at the sky and sighed: "Five years, in the blink of an eye five years have passed. How many fives years are there in a lifetime?"

  Wang Lei furrowed his brow, Old Man was an optimist, how did he suddenly become so sentimental?

  The old man didn't care about Wang Lei's thoughts and continued: "In these five years, I spent a huge amount of money, constantly using medicinal materials to help you cleanse your marrow and temper your body. Now, your whole body is full of energy and vitality, and in terms of internal strength, you can be considered to have achieved small success, but there is still some distance from achieving great success, so you must continue to cultivate yourself according to the method I taught you."

  The old man's expression was calm, "Your strength has reached a bottleneck and it's temporarily hard to improve. So now you need to work on your martial arts skills. Just like the other day when you intercepted Zhang Cheng, if you had the technique of killing enemies, you wouldn't have been injured all over."

  Wang Lei's heart was pounding, and he felt that the old man seemed to have something to entrust.

  "Do you know why Li Qingyuan wanted me to catch up with him?"

  The old man chuckled twice, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

  Wang Lei honestly replied: "I don't know!"

  The old man sighed, with a nostalgic look on his face, and said slowly: "When I was young, I wasn't in Ye County, but served in Yu Yang Jun, as a military marquis, commanding two hundred brothers. Yu Yang Jun is located on the border, often attacked by the Xiongnu people. Because of the Xiongnu's atrocities, I also frequently interacted with the Xiongnu people in the army."

  "When the Xiongnu attacked Youbeiping, the governor of Youbeiping ordered a counterattack. When the Xiongnu retreated, the major of my battalion led 2,000 soldiers to pursue and attack a group of retreating Xiongnu troops."

  "The Huns' cavalry comes and goes like the wind; if you want to win, you must entangle your opponent."

  "At that time, I and two other military marquises led a total of 600 cavalrymen to tightly encircle the enemy, even sacrificing our own brothers to ensure the main army could catch up and annihilate this group of Xiongnu people."

  "This victory should be rewarded, and the brothers who died in battle should also be comforted."

  The old man's face showed a look of anger, and he said in a low voice: "But the school lieutenant acted as if nothing had happened, only verbally praised him, and ignored the death of his brother. I was angry at the time, found the school lieutenant to reason, but was beaten with 30 sticks, and was also demoted from the position of military marquis to the lowest rank of Wu Chang. In anger, I left the army camp and returned to Ye County."

  Wang Lei's eyes were filled with doubt, and he said: "Old man, this is your past experience, but Li Qingyuan can't arrest you just because you used to be a military marquis. It doesn't match the reason from earlier."

  The old man smiled and nodded, "As a military commander, I naturally have some skills. I have a set of ancestral spear techniques and a snake spear. With my martial arts skills, I am invincible on the battlefield. That's why Li Qingyuan tried every means to get me to teach him martial arts. He said it was gunplay, slightly inappropriate, but both are long-range weapons and have some commonalities."

  Wang Lei nodded and understood the reason.

  No wonder Li Qingyuan took the old man away and served him well with good wine and meat, but didn't dare to be rough on him. It turned out that he had a request for the old man. Suddenly, it dawned on him that when the old man mentioned this matter, he was actually saying...

  The old man saw Wang Lei's expression, smiled lightly and ordered: "Go to my room and take out the black gold spear in the room."

  "Alright!"

  Wang Lei hastily got up and rushed towards Old Master's room.

  Before long, Wang Lei came over with a 2-meter-long snake spear. Wang Lei held the snake spear, his face full of surprised expressions, because the snake spear in his hand was very heavy. Wang Lei estimated that the snake spear in his hand weighed at least sixty kilograms.

  He came before the old man, put down the snake spear and asked: "Old man, why is this snake spear so heavy?"

  The old man smiled slightly and explained: "Spears and guns are different, guns take a light and agile path, so the materials used to make large guns are mostly tough and resilient white wax rods. Spears are different, spears take a strong and fierce route, one is the weight of the spear itself, and the other is the hardness of the spear itself. You can try it with a knife, one cut down, this snake spear is intact and undamaged, without even a scratch."

  Wang Lei's eyes showed skepticism, thinking that the old man was bragging.

  One knife down, no marks left behind, too fake.

  The old man was furious, puffing out his beard and glaring with wide eyes. He shouted loudly: "You little brat! My black gold spear is a top-notch weapon! The spearhead is eight inches long, double-edged and sharp, with a blood groove, and it's made of hundred-refined steel that can cut through iron like mud. The spear handle is made of high-quality ironwood, as hard as diamond, and no sword or saber can damage it. This spear is my heart and soul, and you still dare to doubt me? Hmph!!"

  Wang Lei hastily smiled and continued, "Old man, I'm not ignorant, am I? Hey, you can't sail a boat in the Prime Minister's belly, don't bother me with it."

  The old man let out a cold hum, took out an old book from his bosom and placed it in front of Wang Lei, saying: "The Spear Spectrum records the main moves of the Black Gold Snake Spear, mainly using thrusting, pricking, slashing and drawing moves. Thrusting is the most important part, the stronger the arm strength, the more powerful the snake spear's attack, that's why I spent a lot of money buying medicinal materials to help you build up your strength over the years, so you have abundant power."

  Wang Lei grasped the nearby Wujin Snake Spear, with the spearhead pointing to the sky, and said loudly: "Don't worry, old man. I, Wang Lei, swear here that I will definitely make the name of Wujin Snake Spear known throughout the world."

  "The old man waved his hand and said, 'Take it away, I want to be alone for a while.'"

  Wang Lei bowed and turned to leave.

  He took the spear and the black gold snake spear and just walked out of the yard, when he saw Xiao Hao hurriedly coming over. Xiao Hao had a joyful expression on his face and smiled as he said: "Boss, Liu Tou from the county government office has come, looking for you with something to discuss." Wang Lei let Xiao Hao receive Liu Tou, putting away the snake spear and the book recording the moves in his room before heading towards the main hall.

  Upon arriving at the hall, Wang Lei smiled and said: "This morning I heard the magpie announcing good news, so I knew that a noble guest had arrived."

  Liu said: "Brother Wang is being polite, the county magistrate invites you to go to the county government office."

  "Liu, wait for a moment, let me change into another set of clothes."

  Wang Lei apologized and went back to change his clothes, then left with Liu Tou. On the way to the county government office, Wang Lei gave Liu Tou a small token of his appreciation, which made Liu Tou smile even more.

  Arriving at the county government office, Liu said: "Brother Wang, the county magistrate is in his study, just go straight."

  Wang Lei bowed his fist in gratitude and followed the attendants to the study.
