After leaving Zhang Xiu's mansion, Zhuge Mu, who was riding on the back of the Red Hare Horse, felt the heavy token in his arms shaking up and down along with the jolts. His mood lightened up a lot.
"Now that I have the token, the next thing to consider is how to subdue those arrogant Western Liang soldiers.”
"Hehe, I believe that Wen Chang will be very happy to help.”
"If Wen Chang still can't deal with them, then we can only beat them into submission.”
From Zhuge Mu's point of view, although the discipline of the Xi Liang Army was criticized by the world, they also had their own merits.
The reverence towards the strong!
Once an expert gained their recognition, the Western Liang Army would display an extremely terrifying obedience and impressive combat strength.
If he had to use an animal to describe the Xi Liang army, it would be…
Wolves!
When a pack of wolves attacked, even a ferocious tiger had to take a detour.
As Zhuge Mu was thinking about this, a clamor of cheers entered his ears.
Raising his head, Zhuge Mu realized that the Red Hare had unknowingly brought him back to the street where the Xu Manor was located.
Zhuge Mu sighed softly as he looked at Xu Chu and Wei Yan, who were fighting fiercely in front of the Xu Manor, surrounded by passersby.
"Why did you have to come looking for me?”
"Are you asking to be humiliated?"
Zhuge Mu dismounted from his horse and tied the Red Hare to a pillar not far from the Xu Manor. Then, he unsheathed the Heavenly Sword that he wore at his waist and walked toward the two of them.
"Xu Zhongkang, you are Lord Sikong's Tiger Guard. How can you fight in the streets?”
While he was scolding Xu Chu, Zhuge Mu reached out his sword and blocked Xu Chu's slash at Wei Yan.
"Ding!"
The saber and sword clashed, producing a crisp sound.
Looking at Zhuge Mu who had appeared in front of him, Xu Chu, who had suffered the humiliation of being defeated yesterday, became even more eager to fight.
"Zhuge Mu, you finally showed up!”
"Come, come, come. Let's fight for a hundred rounds today.”
Xu Chu said loudly.
Xu Chu, who did not care about his injuries at all, looked like an injured tiger at this moment. His entire person emitted a bloodthirsty madness.
However, Zhuge Mu only glanced at Xu Chu's injured left arm in the face of the mad tiger's clamor. He walked towards the Xu Manor's main gate without looking back.
"Xu Zhongkang! I'm afraid that your arm will be crippled after a hundred rounds! If I were you, I would find a doctor to prescribe some prescriptions for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, then go home and recuperate.”
"Oh right…"
Zhuge Mu suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around. He sized up Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and the others who were supporting Xu Chu.
"By the way, on the way here just now, I have already informed the Golden Guards in the city that someone has gathered here to cause trouble and commit violence.”
"If you don't want to embarrass Lord Sikong, you'd better…"
The moment Zhuge Mu said this, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.
The people who reacted the fastest were the bystanders.
The Han laws were not as lax as the laws of the later generations. There was no such thing as watching a show and not thinking that things would get out of hand.
According to the Han law, those who gathered together to fight would be whipped at the lightest punishment, and in serious cases, they would be imprisoned.
Even if the bystanders were caught by the patrol officials, they would be fined varying amounts of copper coins.
As the crowd dispersed, Xiahou Dun, who was the leader of the Cao Clan's generals, looked at Zhuge Mu with a playful expression. His expression was no better than Xu Chu's.
"Zhongkang, let's go!"
"A momentary victory or defeat is nothing. Slaying a general and seizing a city is true ability.”
Xiahou Dun snorted coldly at Zhuge Mu and turned to leave.
Upon hearing Xiahou Dun's words, no matter how unwilling Xu Chu was, he had no choice but to be wary of Cao Cao's existence.
As Cao Cao's personal guard, Xu Chu knew better than anyone else: If it was an ordinary person who broke the law, Cao Cao might give him a light punishment. However, if the people around him knew the law and broke it, Cao Cao would not forgive them easily.
In the end, Xu Chu could only leave in frustration.
Zhuge Mu looked at Xiahou Dun and his group disappearing into the corner of the street. He turned to look at Wei Yan, whom he had saved at the critical moment, and said to him,""Wenzhang, how do you feel?"
"Very strong!"
Wei Yan spat out two words.
"If it wasn't for the injury on his left arm, I definitely wouldn't have lasted until you arrived."”
"At that time, I might have to trouble uncle to take action.”
As he said this, Wei Yan glanced at Huang Zhong, who hadn't attacked yet.
Zhuge Mu found it funny when he noticed the unwillingness on Wei Yan's face.
"What? Are you planning to get back at me one day?”
"Wen Chang, do you know that with Xu Chu's strength, there are not many people in the world who can defeat him. Why do you have to compare yourself with him?”
"No matter how strong Xu Chu is, he's just a warrior who guards Sikong. Your talent lies in leading an army to attack cities and seize territory. How can the two be compared?”
After consoling Wei Yan, Zhuge Mu placed the command token that he had just received from Zhang Xiu on Wei Yan's chest.
"Hey, if you really want to find someone to fight, go to the military camp and fight.”
"If you can tame the Xi Liang army, I'll give you the position of a lieutenant.”
As an official appointed by the Imperial Court, well, his title was Bandit-Destroying General. Zhuge Mu still had the authority to appoint his own lieutenants.
"Brother Mu, what about me?"
When Huang Xu, who was standing beside Huang Zhong, heard that Zhuge Mu wanted Wei Yan to be a lieutenant, he immediately became anxious and asked Zhuge Mu.
Zhuge Mu did not immediately agree to this. Instead, he planned to listen to his father's opinion first.
Noticing Zhuge Mu's gaze, Huang Zhong pondered for a moment and said,""Shuzhi, let Xu 'er help Wenchang first.”
"After all, marching and fighting is not child's play. It's good to let him learn from Wen Chang.”
Since Huang Zhong, Huang Xu's father, had said so, Zhuge Mu naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Zian, you heard it. It's not that I don't want to promote you, but Uncle doesn't agree.”
Looking at the unhappy Huang Xu, Zhuge Mu patted his head in annoyance." Go, bring the Red Hare back to the courtyard for me. Perhaps I'll really make you a lieutenant if I'm happy."”
When Huang Xu heard that, he immediately led the horse away happily!
Seeing this, Huang Zhong and Zhuge Mu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Shuzhi, didn't you say that you had informed the Golden Guards? Why isn't he here yet!" Wei Yan said.
"Hehe, I lied to them!"
"The moment I came back, I saw that the front door of the manor was in a mess. I didn't even have the time to catch my breath. How could I have the time to inform the Golden Guards?”
Rolling his eyes at Wei Yan, Zhuge Mu walked past Huang Zhong and Wei Yan and entered the courtyard.
"Which damned person stole Brother Mu's horse!!!”
Suddenly, Huang Xu's voice came from outside, causing Zhuge Mu to stumble.
For a moment, Zhuge Mu only had one thought in his mind…
My horse is gone?
