Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

As he spoke, the observing soldiers caught sight of a cavalry formation of trusted aides slowly approaching the city. ”They’re all wearing Sharp Warrior Battle Armor, the attire of trusted aides! And... and each of them holds a nobility rank of at least the fifth level! This is serious!”

At the sound of his voice, the other Prefecture Soldiers, some of whom had been dozing, snapped to attention, standing ramrod straight. As garrison troops on duty, they had seen countless people and were adept at reading situations.

To be escorted by trusted aides meant one of two things: either you were a Main General, or you held a noble title of the tenth rank or higher. Seeing so many trusted aides, it was obvious what this meant. This had to be a Main General.

”Could it be General Li Xin from Hangu Pass?” one Prefecture Soldier wondered aloud. ”He’s known for his strict discipline, but why would he come to Linguan? For a drink?”

”Unlikely,” another replied. ”Even if General Li wanted a drink, he’d send someone to buy it for him. He wouldn’t come personally. This has to be some other great figure.”

”All of you, stand straight!” the Wuzhang warned them. ”Don’t cause any offense, or no one will be able to save you.”

The Prefecture Soldiers stood stiffly, their eyes fixed anxiously on the approaching cavalry of trusted aides. As Zhang Ming drew near, the Wuzhang immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully. ”May I ask which general this is?”

”Our general is General Zhao Feng,” Zhang Ming announced, his tone authoritative.

”Zhao... General Zhao Feng?” The Wuzhang and his men looked on nervously, their gazes quickly finding Zhao Feng riding a warhorse among his trusted aides, his presence magnificent. Instantly, they all bowed deeply. ”We salute you, General Zhao!”

The common folk entering the city also turned to look.

”General Zhao?”

”Could that be General Zhao Feng, whose fame now shakes the world?”

”Across all of Qin, the only one young enough to command such a large retinue of trusted aides is General Zhao Feng!”
