Zhuge Mu rubbed little Guo Yi's head and said gently,""When you grow up…"
"If you want to become a general who commands thousands of troops, I will teach you military books and strategies!”
"If you want to be an official, I'll find you the best teacher in the world to teach you the classics and history.”
"Even if you want to be a rich man…"
Zhuge Mu's tone paused for a moment, but he did not rashly say the word 'godfather'. Instead, he whispered to little Guo Yi,"I will also guarantee that you will not have to worry about food for the rest of your life.”
Zhuge Mu's words were "appalling".
In the eyes of others, this was completely beyond what friends could do.
However…
No one asked.
They understood that Zhuge Mu must have his own reasons for treating Guo Yi as his nephew.
Perhaps Zhuge Mu's words had touched the softness in little Guo Yi's heart.
Finally, after looking at Zhuge Mu's sincere face for a moment…
Little Guo Yi could no longer hide the determination on his face. He cried out loud as he laid on Zhuge Mu's shoulder.
As she cried…
Little Guo Yi actually fell asleep in Zhuge Mu's arms.
Seeing little Guo Yi still frowning in his sleep, Zhuge Mu felt pity for him.
He gently picked up little Guo Yi from the ground and quietly held him in his arms.
Watching this scene, Xun Yu and Xun You smiled kindly.
Children were the most innocent.
They could tell who was genuinely good to them and who was not.
Knowing that Zhuge Mu would not be able to leave for a while, the uncle and nephew nodded at Guo Jia's wife Ma and Zhuge Mu before choosing to leave.
After Xun Yu and Xun You left, Madam Ma looked at her son who was sleeping soundly in Zhuge Mu's arms. She looked at Zhuge Mu apologetically.
"General, I've made a fool of myself!"
"Let me carry Yi 'er!"
Zhuge Mu didn't hand little Guo Yi over. Instead, he smiled and said to Guo Jia's wife Ma,"I'm still little Guo Yi's foster father.”
"Take advantage of the fact that no one is coming to mourn.”
"Let me take care of the child!”
Noticing the confusion in Mrs Guo's eyes, Zhuge Mu said,""After the Dingxiang Battle, Feng Xiao asked me to be little Guo Yi's foster father, and I agreed!”
After saying that, Zhuge Mu, who felt a little depressed in front of the mourning hall, carried the sleeping little Guo Yi to a tree shade in the courtyard.
He just sat there quietly.
Hence, he decided to do it.
When the countless civil and military officials who had come to pay their respects to Guo Jia entered the Guo Residence, they saw this strange scene.
In the mourning hall, Guo Jia's womenfolk were kneeling in front of the coffin.
Under a big tree in the courtyard, a young general who had not taken off his armor in time was carrying a sleeping child in his arms.
When they saw the general's face clearly.
The civil and military officials who came to offer their condolences were all stunned.
They never expected…
Zhuge Mu, who had just been conferred the title of Governor of Yongling, Governor of Liangzhou, and Marquis of Langya by His Majesty, had just finished attending the celebration banquet.
Instead of returning home to rest, she quietly hugged the child and coaxed him to sleep in the late Guo Jia's mansion.
One had to know.
Zhuge Mu had just returned from an expedition and had been invited into the palace without even resting.
Taking into account the weight of the armor, one could imagine how exhausted his body was during this period.
Even an iron man might not be able to withstand it!
It was unbelievable that he still had the energy to hold the child and let him sleep in his arms.
Heavens!
Was this still the same God of Death who had killed thousands of non-humankind beings on the battlefield and would soon rule the world?
At this moment, anyone who came to offer their condolences would believe that he was a harmless young man next door.
Zhuge Mu naturally noticed the reaction of those who were offering their condolences.
Before those who wanted to get close to him could get close, Zhuge Mu stopped them with his eyes.
"You can go and offer your condolences. Don't worry about me!”
"If anyone wakes up my foster son, I…"
Zhuge Mu's eyes flashed coldly. He didn't care if his words would offend anyone.
Before he could finish his words, those people understood what he meant.
At the same time, they also obtained an extremely important piece of information from Zhuge Mu's words.
Guo Jia's orphan!
He had actually become Zhuge Mu's foster son.
Silently, they glanced at little Guo Yi who was sleeping soundly in Zhuge Mu's arms. A hint of envy flashed in their eyes.
It could be said that as long as this child did not die prematurely, with Zhuge Mu, this newly promoted military tycoon, protecting him, the child left behind by Guo Jia would have a bright future.
When they looked at Guo Jia's coffin in the mourning hall, a sentence suddenly appeared in their minds.
Leave!
The tea was not cold yet!
Although the world was cold!
But the warmth was still there!
Zhuge Mu's performance today was no different from telling those who thought that the Guo Residence would decline with Guo Jia's death.
Guo Jia was gone!
However!
Guo Jia's old friend was still here!
With his protection!
Those who wanted to kick the Guo family while they were down had better think about whether they could withstand the anger of Governor Yong Cong before they made their move.
Could anyone withstand Zhuge Mu's anger?
The people who came to offer their condolences shook their heads.
Because in their eyes:
Once Zhuge Mu had secured his position as Governor Yong He, he would have a 100,000-strong cavalry under him.
Under such circumstances, no one would be so unwise.
In the mourning hall.
If Guo Jia's wife Ma and housekeeper Guo Fu knew nothing about Zhuge Mu's identity, only that he was a good friend of his late husband and a general…
Then, the two people who learned Zhuge Mu's true identity from the low voices of the mourners were completely shocked.
Governor Yong!
Liangzhou Provincial Governor!
Marquis Langya!
Killing the Wuhuan King, the leader of the Xianbei, his contribution was no less than Wei Huo's!
The God of Slaughter of the Northern Lands!
The new aristocrat in the army.
The burly man was the God of Slaughter!
……
The appearance of such words made it difficult for the two of them to associate Zhuge Mu, who had a harmless look on his face as he coaxed little Guo Yi to sleep, with him.
However, after knowing all this, they immediately understood why Zhuge Mu was sitting there with little Guo Yi in his arms, unwilling to leave.
He wanted to use his power to protect the Guo family, which had lost its head of the family.
At the same time, it was also to express his attitude to everyone.
He, Zhuge Mu, was the backer of the Guo family!!!
"Husband is so fortunate to have such a good friend when he was alive.”
Guo Jia's wife, Madam Ma, had tears in her eyes, and her cheeks were wet with tears.
Unknowingly, Madam Ma's confusion and anxiety towards the future due to her husband's sudden death had disappeared.
As for Guo Fu, his eyes were filled with respect when he looked at Zhuge Mu.
Guan and Bao's friendship!
That's all!
P.S. I beg for an automatic membership! I believe that true love exists in this world!
