"Zhu Geliang, we’ll rember this grudge, just you wait!" You fiercely hurled the broken wooden post in the direction of Wen Pin. Wen Pin’s expression remained unchanged as he struck down with his steel blade, and in a flash, the wooden post was split in half by Wen Pin!
Seeing this, you couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and imdiately said to Wen Pin, "Wen Pin, I’m giving you a chance now. Would you like to join in conquering the world?"
Wen Pin’s expression did not change, standing firm, he pointed at you and angrily shouted, "Thief Li, today I will definitely take your head!"
Settling yourself, you suddenly took a deep breath and your gaze gradually sharpened. Scanning your surroundings, you realized you were surrounded by heavily armored troops and archers ready to strike, if it were anyone else, they’d surely die today!
"Since that’s the case, just wait for my army’s iron hooves to trample over Jingzhou then!"
A loud "bang!" was heard, and it was as if an explosion happened under your feet. You instantly leaped dozens of ters into the air and before anyone could react, you had already landed amidst the archers on the outskirts.
Without the great shields of the heavily armored infantry, those archers and ordinary soldiers were unable to stop your advancent. By the ti Wen Pin arrived with the heavily armored troops, a bloody path was already laid on the ground, with nurous soldiers fallen under your terrifying might.
"Chase them!"
Wen Pin heard your previous words loud and clear. If he truly allowed you to return, then Jingzhou would indeed be in trouble!
Breaking out of Wen Pin’s camp, you were already covered in layers of blood, appearing utterly terrifying. However, contrary to Wen Pin’s expectations, you did not quickly leave, instead returning to Jingzhou City. Under the cover of night, you stealthily infiltrated the governor’s mansion and soon found Cai Xiao’s private courtyard.
As you were about to enter Cai Xiao’s private courtyard, you heard a sowhat familiar voice, "Auntie, this ti you must help ."
"My dear Ying’er, marriages are always decided by the parents and arranged by matchmakers. Besides, that Zhu Geliang is known as Wolong, a formidable figure. Many wealthy ladies in our Jingzhou yearn for this marriage."
"Auntie, I just don’t like him! He’s always putting on airs, reading a few books and thinking himself to be the dragon of Jiutian. I heard from my father that the guy has close ties with that Liu Huangshu in Xinye City, and those guys are nothing good."
"Liu Bei? Zhu Geliang actually has dealings with Liu Bei?" Cai Xiao’s tone evidently changed. When Liu Bei ca to Jingzhou, Cai Xiao t him once and her impression was exceedingly negative. To Cai Xiao, Liu Bei was no esteed Imperial Uncle, but soone prepared to seize her Jingzhou inheritance!
"Hmm, hmm, Auntie, Liu Bei can’t be trusted. He’s surely here in Jingzhou with ulterior motives. Plus, Brother Qi has been very close to them lately."
"Hmph! Does Liu Bei think he can whip up any mischief?" Cai Xiao’s voice beca colder, hinting at a murderous intent.
"With just you, it’s too naive to deal with Liu Bei."
Suddenly, your voice ca from outside the door.
"Who’s out there?" Since Cai Xiao and her niece were discussing private matters, she’d previously sent all the servants away. At the mont, there was no one around.
After the door opened, your blood-soaked appearance ca into the sight of the two won. Cai Xiao nearly scread in shock, but quickly recognized your silhouette, asking in surprise, "Li Muyun? How did you end up like this?"
"Li Muyun?" The woman beside Cai Xiao was Huang Shuo, whom you encountered when you first entered Jingzhou. Even she couldn’t believe that such a person was the ferocious beast from Xuzhou!
Closing the door casually, you noticed pastries on a low table, sat down directly, and began eating by hand. Under the astonished and puzzled gaze of the two won, you quickly devoured the pastries, still not satisfied, you said, "This little bit isn’t even enough to fill the gap in my teeth. Have the kitchen prepare so more food. By the way, do you have a place to bathe? I just went a round in the barracks, had a fight with Wen Pin, and in the end, he coaxed out, haha."
You laughed heartily, showing no signs of fear from the danger.
"Mu Yang, is that really you?" Huang Shuo looked at you, asking intently.
"I was just wondering whose voice was so familiar, turns out it’s an old acquaintance."
"Ying’er, do you know him?" Cai Xiao asked.
You interrupted Huang Shuo and said nonchalantly, "We traveled together before. That’s not important. Quickly have soone prepare a bath for . I’m sick of all this blood on ."
Cai Xiao looked at you, sighed slightly, and said, "Alright, but you can’t wander around freely for now."
"Tch, what’s there to be afraid of, after all, Jingzhou will belong to sooner or later."
Your carefree attitude was sowhat off-putting for Cai Xiao, given her status, and your roguish behavior made Cai Xiao feel embarrassed in front of Huang Shuo, "Li Muyun, don’t think you can really just rely on ! To tell you the truth, an envoy from Cao Cao in Yan Province ca yesterday. You probably don’t know, but Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao at Guandu, Yuan Shao was killed on the spot by Cao Cao, and now the North is under Cao Cao’s rule!"
Initially, you still had so semblance of a smile, but your face suddenly turned cold, gazing at Cai Xiao with icy eyes. The mont you locked eyes, Cai Xiao felt as if she fell into a freezing cavern, shivering involuntarily.
"Miss Cai, you should know sothing about how I, Li Muyun, handle things. Don’t provoke lightly. Whether you have dealings with Cao Cao or entanglents with others, is none of my concern. I hope you understand, the reason I can sit here calmly is because I still have so sentint for you. Don’t ruin that last bit of goodwill I have toward you, or you will regret it."
"Li Muyun, who do you think I am?" Initially, Cai Xiao was fearful, but upon hearing your words, she suddenly stood up, showing rage.
You didn’t dwell on this topic further, "Go on, have them prepare hot water, I want a bath."
However, Cai Xiao was relentless and demanded, "Explain what you just said again!"
From the start, you didn’t have an emotional foundation with Cai Xiao, and you always thought that your relationship with Cai Xiao was rely one of utility. So, when faced with Cai Xiao’s pressing demands, you beca sowhat angry, "My words were quite clear. Our transaction is hereby cancelled. In a few days, I will personally lead a hundred thousand elite troops to attack your Jingzhou."
Upon hearing this, Cai Xiao was shocked and asked incredulously, "You, you don’t want Emperor Yu anymore?"
