Early in the morning, the Prime Minister's residence was noisy. There were officials and ministers everywhere who came to pay a New Year visit. They carried big and small bags in their hands. Those who did not know better would think that they were rushing to give gifts.
However, this situation was no different from openly expressing his loyalty.
What really made Zhang Wu curious was Guo Jia. This hooligan who was usually late for military ceremonies was able to get up early and come over to pay a New Year visit just because the Prime Minister's Mansion was drinking. It was simply too materialistic.
"Dumb Guo, look at the people around you. They don't even give you anything when they visit. Those who don't know better might think that you're here to eat and drink.”
Guo Jia curled his lips in disdain."The Prime Minister is rich in two states. I, Guo Jia, am just a poor scholar. How can I take out a decent gift? As for you, you are the General of the Flying Cavalry, but you are still empty-handed.”
"You can continue to nag me. I'm going in to give gifts.”
Zhang Wu immediately left Guo Jia behind and walked through the crowd to the main hall. He saw another person who surprised him.
Yang Biao!
In the eyes of ordinary people, Yang Biao was the staunchest royalist. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to come and visit Cao Cao. However, not only did he come, but he also brought many gifts.
Behind Yang Biao was a young man in his early twenties. He was dressed like a scholar and had some bearing.
Zhang Wu sized it up curiously.
[Name: Yang Xiu
][Martial Force: 47
][Commander: 60][
Intelligence: 90][
Political: 73
][Skill: Quick Intelligence: Intelligence in times of emergency 1.]
It was really Yang Xiu.
In this way, Zhang Wu could almost guess the reason why Yang Biao came to pay a New Year's visit. It was to seek an official position for his son.
At this moment, the Imperial Court was completely controlled by Cao Cao. As long as Cao Cao did not agree, even Liu Xie could not appoint officials.
Boss Cao's actions were undoubtedly forcing the great clans to choose between him and the Emperor.
The reason why aristocratic families were called aristocratic families was that they had people in the court to do whatever they wanted. Once their official career was cut off, the so-called aristocratic families would be reduced to ordinary landowners in ten years at most, three to five years at most.
However, this Yang Biao was a little too impatient. He jumped out so early. This way, his table manners were a little ugly.
The staunchest royalist party had moved to Xuchang for less than a year, yet they betrayed their master for glory? Boss Cao would definitely take him as an example.
But what could be foreseen was that Yang Xiu, this person, would probably have a prosperous official career for some time in the future.
As expected of the Yang Biao who said that he was deeply in love with his son. He indeed cherished his son enough. For the sake of Yang Xiu's future, he even disregarded his own reputation.
Cao Cao, who was chatting with Yang Biao, saw Zhang Wu's figure and greeted him,""Ziqian is here? I have many things to do. Go to the front yard to find Fengxiao and drink.”
The surrounding guests all looked at him with envy. Cao Cao seemed to be sending Zhang Wu away, but in reality, he did not take Zhang Wu as an outsider.
In Xuchang, the identity of one of the Prime Minister's own people could simply do whatever he wanted.
However, the guests thought about it again. Zhang Wu could have done whatever he wanted in Xuchang. This way, they felt more at ease.
"I'm not Guo Fengxiao. I don't care if he comes here to freeload. I'm here to give gifts.”
Cao Cao was stunned. Zhang Wu and Cao Hong were equally famous as the two misers of Xuchang. It was already good enough that this unlucky child did not take advantage of his family. Why would he give him a gift?
Cao Cao suddenly became interested. He gave up on Yang Xiu and walked in front of Zhang Wu,"Hurry up and show it to me. I want to see what treasure you can take out.”
Zhang Wu reached into his pocket and took out a black mud ball. He handed it to Cao Cao and said,"Here, this is it."
This time, the surrounding people were in an uproar. What did they see?
"Mudball? The famous Marquis Champion was really perfunctory.”
"Everyone says that the Prime Minister treats the General of Flying Cavalry like his own son, but this General of Flying Cavalry actually sent such a thing.”
"You have the ability. However, this kind of arrogant attitude will sooner or later bring about a fatal disaster.”
Cao Cao was also a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and grabbed Zhang Wu's sleeve, whispering,""Are you out of money for the New Year? Go to my private vault and get your money. Don't cause trouble here and let outsiders see you as a joke.”
"I'm not fooling around. This is a treasure that can't be exchanged for ten thousand gold coins.”Zhang Wu already felt his heart ache.
Body-strengthening pills. The System sold them for 500 points. After eating them, one's body would be strong and one would not get sick. A casual smile would allow one to live to ninety-nine.
If it wasn't for the fact that Boss Cao treated him too kindly, gave him a high position and a generous salary, ordered him to lead the most elite cavalry, and betrothed his daughter to him, he would have been able to escape. Zhang Wu really didn't want to give up on the 500 points.
One had to know that the system only needed 1000 points to revive him once. 500 points were equivalent to a body-strengthening pill, and 500 points were equivalent to half a life. After conversion, the body-strengthening pill was equivalent to half a life. There was no problem at all.
"Alright, tell me what this treasure is for.”
"Keep fit and healthy. You won't get sick. I guarantee you a long life.”
Cao Cao thought that he had been deceived by a street swindler, but he could not bear to reject Zhang Wu's kindness."Alright, I like the gift very much. Go and find Feng Xiao to drink.”
Should he make it more obvious?
Zhang Wu was too lazy to waste his breath. He casually passed the pill to Cao Cao and knocked on Cao Cao's chin.
With a gulp, the mud ball entered his stomach.
Cao Cao was dumbfounded, and so were the surrounding guests.
Could it be that this Zhang Wu was arranged by the emperor to be Cao Cao's disciple? Was he deliberately trying to get close to Cao Cao to get rid of the thief?
'That's not right. Zhang Wu's martial arts skills are extraordinary. If he wanted to kill Cao Cao, he could do it with a flip of his hand. Why is it so troublesome?'
Before they could finish guessing, Cao Cao laughed loudly and patted Zhang Wu's back."This mud ball is quite delicious. Do you still have it?”
At this moment, Cao Cao's surprise turned into joy. The moment the pill entered his throat, he felt refreshed and his mind became clear. The waist injury he had suffered when he was young had healed without medicine. His limbs and bones were filled with vitality. The fatigue from staying up late last night had disappeared.
Zhang Wu rolled his eyes.”
"Yes, yes, a body-strengthening pill. I wonder where this divine medicine came from.”
"Before I left the mountain, the old Taoist with the cow nose who taught me martial arts gave it to me. Now that he has traveled far away, there is no other one.”
Zhang Wu's martial arts skills were all obtained from the system, so it was reasonable to compare him to an old Taoist with a cow's nose.
Cao Cao sighed in pity but did not ask further. Such a divine medicine was hard to come by, and it was already rare to get one. He only silently remembered Zhang Wu's pen in his heart.
