Chapter 365 Guo Jias First Move - Part 3 (2/2)

”… I hope so.”

Chen Gong packed his belongings and left the city. As for the trio, they gathered Cao Cao's 5,000 elites, who wore disguised leather armors and worn-out spears, into the military compound with Chen Gong's tokens.

Xiahou Yuan rubbed mud and dirt all over his body to make himself look like a thug. Furthermore, he had not taken a bath for weeks on purpose. His bodily smell was so strong that Guo Jia and Xu Chu had to pinch their nose when they were close to him.

Upon arrival at Yuan Shao's military camp, the guards inspected them.

”Who are you?”

”We're mercenaries from Cao Cao. Our lord told us that we have to work under Yuan Shao from now on.”

The guards turned to their friends in confusion as they had not heard about this transfer. Before they could confirm it with their superiors, a person arrived to vouch for the disguised mercenaries.

Yan Liang, the only remaining great general under Yuan Shao, came here to check the new faces.

”Let them in. These people are Cao Cao's tributes.”

”Tributes?” Yan Liang's subordinates were even more confused.

”Yes, a tribute. Cao Cao sold these slaves to our lord for an alliance. We're friends of Cao Cao now.”

”OH!”

Yuan Shao's soldiers cheered and laughed while the disguised 5,000 men gritted their teeth in anger. Xu Chu was also on the verge of snapping, but Xiahou Yuan raised his hands, stopping them from ruining their masterplan.

Yan Liang also noticed Xiahou Yuan's action. He praised the mercenary leader in his mind as he approached Xiahou Yuan.

”Are you their leader? What's your name?”

”I'm Miao Cai. Who am I talking to?”

Miaocai was Xiahou Yuan's style name. However, he was using it as his fake real name.

”Who am I? I'm your boss, you stinking buffoon! Go and take a bath before I dump you in the latrine. And for the rest of you, come with me. I'll take you to your camp!”

Yan Liang kicked Xiahou Yuan's buttock with his full strength, sending him tumbling forward.

Noticing that Xiahou Yuan did not cry or collapse from his kick, Yan Liang liked this mercenary leader more.

'Come to think of it, I've seen this man before. Where have I seen it?'

Looking at the face of Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu, who stood out from the rest, Yan Liang had a sense of déjà vu.

In reality, Yan Liang had seen them in action in the battle in front of Hulao Gate. Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu had once dueled with Khan's clone soldiers.

'Bah, forget it. I got a good platoon in my army for free. What's there to think about?'

Yan Liang disregard the familiarity of their faces and continued guiding Xu Chu and the others into the camp.

Guo Jia, who followed along with them as the group's strategist, hummed and relaxed as if this undercover task was a walk in a park.

'Now then, where is Tao Qian's former subordinates I can exploit?'

.

Meanwhile, a group of envoy arrived in Ye City.

In Ye Palace, Tong sat on his throne with Liu Xie at his side as usual. They watched the visitor with a cautious glare.

Tong recognized this person and warned Liu Xie about it.

Standing at the side, Xun Yu frowned as he questioned the envoy's motive.

The envoy refused to kneel, but he bowed nonetheless, ”Greetings, your majesty. I didn't attend your wives' funeral and the coronation ceremony. I hope you won't take this as an offense.”

”Cao Mengde, stop the formality and get to the point. What are you doing here?”

Guarding next to the throne, Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci placed their hands on their sword sheath, getting ready to attack Cao Cao at any moment.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Everybody knew that Cao Cao was a powerhouse warlord and Tong's rival. They might not have quarreled with the other, but their borders connected. Sooner or later, they could be enemies.

Cao Cao laughed, ”Can't I come to visit you? We're neighbors, so can't I come by to say hello?”

Tong glared at Cao Cao and glanced at the person behind his back.

”I would have welcomed you if you come here without an immortal tailing behind you.”

Pu Jing, who came with Cao Cao as his bodyguard, smiled as he glanced around the throne room.

”Why are you so nervous? We're just here for a peace talk.”

A sweatdrop dripped from Tong's face. His soul injuries had not completely healed yet, but an otherworlder with angelic wings appeared before him.

Li Feihong and others with wing powers were not present. Friday and Medusa were at Pingyuan.

Tong could not count on Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci right now as they had not matured enough to fight Pu Jing without wings.

Moreover, Tong could not use 100% of his strength at the moment. If they fought, he was not confident that he could protect his confidants in this room.

'This can get ugly.'

Mustering his courage, Tong touched a hidden shotgun behind his seat, ”Tell me what your proposal is.”

Cao Cao and Pu Jing grinned, ”We want to form an alliance with you.”
