Early the next morning, the two got up early.
Shen Wenxing changed into a casual outfit and spent nearly a hundred silver taels with Zhang Bin on the streets of the Royal City, purchasing some high-end gifts before heading to the Military Department.
Upon arriving at the Military Department, Zhang Bin cupped his hands and spoke: "Zhang Bin, Left General of the Yunzhong Border Army, requests an audience with Advisor Wang. Please help to convey this."
Upon hearing this, the soldier in the Military Department said, "Wait here," and then turned around and left.
After a long while—
"The Advisor will be here shortly, General, please wait in the side room."
They were led to the side room where a servant from the department served tea.
Footsteps could be heard from outside.
Before the person arrived, a hearty laugh was heard coming in.
"Old Zhang, what brings you here?"
Hearing the voice, Zhang Bin quickly put down the teacup he was holding and got up to greet him.
