Alright then!
It really smelled like rouge.
Because just now, Zhuge Mu had personally seen Guo Jia grab the girl beside him before throwing the appointment letter to him.
Sensing the speechlessness in Zhuge Mu's eyes, the unrestrained Guo Jia said without hesitation,"Don't look at me like that."
"Didn't my lord see that my residence is near Xu Yuanzhi's residence? He gave me the appointment document and asked me to pass it to him on his behalf.”
"Otherwise, do you think I, Guo Fengxiao, would be willing to stay up early in the morning and explain to a man like you for half a day?”
Damn, didn't you choose this place?
Looking around at the beautiful girls in the Drunken Spring Brothel, Zhuge Mu stared at Guo Jia who had taken the lead to make a false accusation. He forcefully suppressed the urge to slap him to death.
"Farewell!"
"I won't disturb Chancellor Guo's sleep.”
Putting away the appointment document, Zhuge Mu stood up and walked downstairs under Guo Jia's stunned gaze.
"Um…"
Zhuge Mu's behavior at the table was completely out of Guo Jia's expectations.
Looking at Zhuge Mu, who did not even turn his head, Guo Jia said regretfully,""Aren't you going to read the contents of the appointment letter first? Perhaps you can get a lot of useful information and help from me.”
"How about a feast?"
"As long as you help me pay for the wine, I'll help you come up with a plan.”
Unfortunately, Guo Jia was destined to miscalculate.
Zhuge Mu's response was to wave his hand at him when he went downstairs." No!”
"It's definitely not a good thing to take advantage of someone."
"I'm afraid that if I don't leave now, it will be difficult to leave this Drunken Spring Restaurant.”
With the help of the Omni-directional Battle Map System, Zhuge Mu could easily spot a team of armorers rushing towards Drunken Spring Restaurant under the lead of Xu Chu.
If Xu Chu had come alone to seek revenge, Zhuge Mu would not have gone to such an extent.
Most importantly…
Through the System View, Zhuge Mu could clearly see that there were a few Cao Clan generals beside Xu Chu. One-eyed General Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and the others were among them.
Could it be that he could teach Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and the others a lesson in public? That was unrealistic!
Unless he didn't want to live under Cao Cao's hands anymore.
As expected, not long after Zhuge Mu, Wei Yan, and Huang Xu left the Drunken Spring Restaurant, a team of elite soldiers surrounded the restaurant amidst the sound of galloping horses.
"Zhuge Mu, listen up. Xu Chu knows that you're inside.”
"If it wasn't for your undignified sneak attack on me yesterday, how could I have been defeated? Today, you can fight with me again.”
"Psst!"
The armor was torn apart, revealing Xu Chu's strong muscles, causing the girls of the Drunken Spring Brothel to exclaim.
"I knew it. Why did that kid run away so quickly?”
"So he sensed that Xu Chu was coming.”
Leaning against the window on the second floor, Guo Jia looked enlightened.
Glancing in the direction Zhuge Mu had left, the corners of Guo Jia's mouth curled up slightly.
"Young man of the Zhuge family, since you have aroused the lord's desire to conquer the Wuhuan, then I will use you to test the attitude of the court officials.”
With that in mind, Guo Jia looked at Xu Chu again and immediately found him more pleasing to the eye.
"It's good to let Xu Chu, that silly fellow, make a scene. It'll be a good opportunity for Zhuge Mu, that slippery kid, to enter everyone's field of vision. Otherwise, if the head that asked for directions was not heavy enough, wouldn't it be a joke?”
Guo Jia, who deliberately added fuel to the fire, immediately poked half of his head out and greeted Xu Chu at the entrance of the Drunken Spring Restaurant loudly,"General Xu, you came a step too late. He has already left.”
"If you want to fight Zhuge Mu, you should go to Xu Shu's residence.”
Zhuge Mu did not know what Guo Jia was planning.
However, when he saw the contents of the official appointment document, he cursed Guo Jia in his heart.
He didn't have any objections.
After all, it was just a miscellaneous title. In Xudu City, where nobles and generals were everywhere, this position was neither big nor small, and it was difficult to attract the attention of others.
However, the document assigned the soldiers under the Qiang-Breaking General Zhang Xiu to him, which made Zhuge Muli uneasy.
After the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, Guo Si, and Li Que, the reputation of the Xi Liang Army was ruined.
From the bottom of his heart, Zhuge Mu did not want to have anything to do with Zhang Xiu.
It was because of what Zhang Xiu had done in Wancheng that he had been pushed to the opposite side of the Cao camp.
If he were to " risk universal condemnation " to get close to Zhang Xiu at this time, he would be described as " having an incorrect political stance " and would be defeated.
"Sigh!"
Sighing lightly, Zhuge Mu, who was dispirited, said to Wei Yan and Huang Xu who were riding on horseback,""Later, the two of you can stroll around the capital city. After you're done, you don't have to wait for me.”
"As for me…"
Thinking of the scene where he would see Zhang Xiu next, he rubbed his teeth." I still have something to do."”
With that, Zhuge Mu whipped his horse and galloped towards the southwest corner of Xudu City.
……
Zhang Manor.
Zhuge Mu, who had just arrived on his horse, looked at the empty and cold door. Even if he did not want to have anything to do with Zhang Xiu, he still felt a trace of desolation for Zhang Xiu.
"In the Battle of Wan City, was it wrong for Zhang Xiu to kill Cao Ang and Dian Wei?”
Zhuge Mu couldn't help but ask himself as he stood at the entrance of the Zhang Residence.
Immediately, a deep self-deprecation appeared on his face.
Only children could distinguish right from wrong, while adults only looked at success or failure.
Even if Cao Ang and Dian Wei's deaths were caused by Cao Cao possessing Zhang Xiu's respected aunt, Madam Zou, since Zhang Xiu had lost, he was wrong.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Mu no longer hesitated. He went forward and knocked on the door of the Zhang Manor.
"Who is young master? Why are you looking for my master?”
The door slowly opened and an old man asked Zhuge Mu.
"Please inform your master that the bandit general Zhuge Mu is here to visit!”
"Esteemed guest, please wait for a moment. Allow me to go and report!”
Not long after, the old man returned with a report. He said to Zhuge Mu apologetically,"I hope you understand. My master said he won't see you, so he told you to go back to where you came from.”
Zhuge Mu was not surprised by the old man's answer.
If Zhang Xiu could meet anyone who came, he would not have lived until now.
Just the crime of forming cliques for personal gain was enough to make Zhang Xiu, who was currently disliked in Cao Cao's camp, suffer.
Zhuge Mu said to the old man,"Fan, please help me ask your master one more thing…"
"Where is the glorious Western Liang Army now?”
"If he is still indifferent after hearing this and is unwilling to see me, I will turn around and leave.”
When the old man saw this, he turned back again.
"Kakaka!"
Suddenly, the door of the Zhang Manor opened.
The old man smiled and bowed to Zhuge Mu.""Esteemed guest, my master invites you in.”
