Vol 4 Chapter 32 (2/2)
Zhao Yun huh… Un, I feel more at ease with her by big brother’s side but in a certain sense, I feel even more uneasy~
Hai, what conflicted feelings.
“Let’s leave that aside for now,” I shook my head and placed the important things ahead of my own feelings for now, “Lord Lu Bu, go and tell Wen Yuan and Hua Tuo first. I’ll deal with the matter of Xuchang.”
“Alright, got it.” Lu Bu agreed but she did not leave and looked at me with a frown, “But… Lord Guan Yu, what are you going to do?”
I walked to the side and put on the green silk robe that Lord Cao Cao gave me before putting on the one from big brother on top. I thought it would be bulky and c.u.mbersome but it was surprisingly comfortable and fitting.
“I’ll go find Lord Cao Cao.” I slowly said, “And hope she will let us go.”
The only way to do this is to ask directly.
Hu… I breathed out as I stood outside Lord Cao Cao’s tent.
There were the 3 requests, and we did achieve much success in battles for them so I should not be so worried.
“Is it Lord Guan Yu who is standing outside?”
Wu! Did she see me?
“… Yes.” I slowly parted the curtains and saw that there were 2 people inside. Lord Cao Cao was sitting behind the table and the other was a girl I had not seen before.
She wore a set of grey robes and her hands were tucked in her sleeves as she quietly stood there. Her hair was long and was not combed neatly. If one drew some motifs on her face, she would look like a deity that descended to earth. Speaking of which, why are her eyes closed? Is she asleep?
“What is the matter today? It’s rare for Lord Guan Yu to be the one to come to me uninvited.” Lord Cao Cao got up and slowly walked over as she said so.
Big brother… I don’t know if it’s out of nervousness but I began calling for big brother in my heart.
Ah, no way about it, all I can do is say it!
“Lord Cao Cao, I’ve come here today to resign from service.” I saluted her and lowered my head as I said so, “I’ve just received news of big brother and am planning to leave for where he is immediately. I beseech Lord Cao Cao to let me go and permit me to return to Xuchang and gather my belongings and other companions before I leave.”
I closed my eyes when I finished, not daring to raise my head and look at Lord Cao Cao. Eventually I opened my eyes but stayed in a bow and looked at Lord Cao Cao’s skirt in front of me.
Should I have said some more? Or perhaps I should have bandied my achievements a bit…
Just as I was frantically thinking about what to do next, Lord Cao Cao gave a single loud clap and spoke out–
“Men, come in!”
