After leaving the Sikong Residence, Zhuge Mu did not have any intention of wandering around Xu Capital. Instead, he chose to return to Xu Shu's residence.
"Shuzhi, how's the situation?"
"Did Cao Mengde make you a general?”
Wei Yan was the first to notice Zhuge Mu. When he mentioned Cao Cao, there was no respect in his tone.
Zhuge Mu rolled his eyes at him helplessly.
"Wen Chang, Lord Sikong only called me over for a chat. Even if he wanted to reward me with an official position, it would be impossible for the appointment to be given immediately. In addition, this place is different from Xiangyang. In case the walls have ears, it's better for you to speak in awe of Lord Sikong.
”
At this moment, a voice echoed,"Wenzhang, Shu Zhi is right.”
"Xu Duyuan is not as simple as you think!”
"In this city, those who are loyal to the Cao family and His Majesty, as well as the spies and assassins from all the vassals in the world, are all gathered here. It's not an exaggeration to say that this place is a mix of good and bad.”
"Rumor has it that Cheng Yu, a strategist under Sikong, controls an unknown force.”
"You're telling me the truth…""I'm telling you what you just said. Maybe tomorrow, I'll appear in front of Cheng Yu.
”
Xu Shu crossed his arms and leaned against the door. The words he said made Wei Yan's heart tremble.
"Yuanzhi, don't lie to me!"
"Besides…Lord Sikong is a pillar of the Great Han Dynasty who has to deal with a lot of things every day. He is so magnanimous and wise. How could he have the time to be calculative with a nobody like me?"
”
Xu Shu looked at Wei Yan, who was so shameless to please Cao Cao, and didn't know what to say.
"Zhuge Mu, are all the people around you so shameless?”
You're asking me?
Who the f * ck was he supposed to ask?
Zhuge Mu, who felt wronged by Xu Shu's questioning, glared at Wei Yan.
"Wenzhang, can you speak?"
"If you want to say more, then say more. If you make Lord Sikong happy, he might give you the title of general.”
Arriving in front of Xu Shu, Zhuge Mu said in a low voice to Xu Shu with a serious expression,""Yuanzhi, are you being watched by Cao Cao?”
Xu Shu pointed at the courtyard and said to Zhuge Mu,""This mansion was given to me by Cao Cao.”
"Of the many servants in the courtyard, other than one of my mother's maidservants, the rest were all bestowed upon me by Cao Cao.”
"Shu Zhi, do you think I don't have Cao Cao's spies?”
"Thanks to you, perhaps the recent events in my residence will also be reported to someone with ill intentions.”
"Heh, it could be Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, or any of the great clans in the city.”
"Even if…""It's not impossible to present it to His Majesty in the palace.
”
Xu Shu's expression was very free and easy.
In other words, he was already used to all of this, as his lofty aspirations had been wiped away with his mother's death.
"Although Xudu is big, it's not easy to live in it.”
"Now that you mention it…I suddenly feel that Dong Cheng, who participated in the Imperial Decree seven years ago, didn't die unjustly.
”
Patting Xu Shu's shoulder, Zhuge Mu looked at Xu Du under the setting sun, his shadow growing longer and longer.
…The next day.
Early in the morning.
The biological clock that Zhuge Mu had developed from his many years of waking up early made him open his eyes early. After washing up, Zhuge Mu had just arrived at the courtyard when he saw Huang Xu, who was tempering his body.
Not far away from Huang Xu, Huang Zhong was pointing out Wei Yan's shortcomings in martial arts.
"Brother Mu, why did you wake up so late today? This isn't like your usual self.”
Huang Xu, who was squatting in the horse stance and still holding a stone block on his shoulder, was sweating profusely, but his character was still as lively as ever.
Zhuge Mu answered Huang Xu's teasing with his actions.
He placed his right hand on Huang Xu's shoulder. As his arm continued to exert force and press down, Huang Xu's entire face flushed red.
Fortunately, Zhuge Mu had consciously controlled himself. Just as Huang Xu was about to be unable to withstand it, he withdrew the power in his hand in time.
"Zian, talk less and suffer more.”
"Try to break through to first-class as soon as possible. Otherwise, with your second-class martial arts, not to mention me, even with Wen Chang's current strength..."
Perhaps it was because Zhuge Mu had been with Wei Yan for too long, he sometimes felt that he had also gotten into the bad habit of gossiping.
Then, Zhuge Mu came to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. He picked up the weapons on the wooden rack and sparred with them.
However, due to Xu Shu's warning yesterday, under his instructions, the two of them did not reveal their true strength.
After breakfast.
Just as Zhuge Mu, Wei Yan, and Huang Xu were getting dressed up and were about to stroll around the streets of Xu City, a scholar's visit disrupted their plans.
"Shuzhi, we meet again.”
At the entrance of the Xu Manor, Guo Jia smiled as he looked at Zhuge Mu, who was about to leave.
"Are you guys going out?”
"It just so happens that Jia knows a good place.”
Fifteen minutes later, at the most famous brothel in the Xu Capital.
Drunken Spring Restaurant.
Looking at Guo Jia, who took out the official appointment document from his bosom and casually tossed it to him, Zhuge Mu only felt the smell of makeup on it.
