A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 44 Kong Ming Doesn't Lie

In the middle of the night, a dim light came from the Changsha post house.

It was a semi-enclosed guest room near the corridor. The whole post house was pitch black, but there was only a glimmer of light here.

"Wow—"

At a certain moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cold wind poured into the room, almost blowing out the lamp on the desk.

"Who are you?"

Before the desk, Zhuge Liang looked out of the door according to his prestige, and subconsciously asked a question towards the shadow outside the door.

"Kong Ming, don't tell me you don't recognize me?" The visitor stepped into the room and took off the bamboo hat covering his face.

At this time, if Du Huo was here, he would definitely be able to recognize him at a glance.Because this person was the mysterious scholar who had tipped off Du Huo in Xuzhou City back then.

"Yuanzhi, why did you come here?" Zhuge Liang stood up from the table, and he couldn't help being a little surprised by Xu Shu's sudden visit.

"Cao Cao sent me here, and now I am working under Cao Cao!" Xu Shu walked up to Zhuge Liang with his hands behind his back, his words and demeanor were different from before.

"Hehe...Could it be that this Cao Cao is the enlightened master you have been talking about day and night?" Zhuge Liang held his fan and smiled lightly, and there seemed to be a bit of contempt in his words.

"Kong Ming, you are still the same after all! You always like to keep talking about the righteousness!
Maybe you don't know that there is no such thing as righteousness in this world.The stories in those books are just stories after all.It seems that you still haven't been able to realize the truth from this! "

Xu Shu turned his back, leaving only a back view for Zhuge Liang. It seemed that he was pretending to be deep, but Zhuge Liang was shocked by his words.

"Snapped!"

Subconsciously, Zhuge Liang clenched the scroll tightly in his hands, and the feeling of the bamboo slipping across his fingertips made him feel a little unbearable.

Finally, he threw away the scroll, and the scattered scrolls collided with the desk, making a crisp sound.

But at the moment when the voice sounded, the corners of Xu Shu's brows twitched inadvertently.

Then he turned around and looked at Zhuge Liang with a slight smile on his face. His lips and teeth moved slightly, but he never uttered a word.

"Is it because my doing this will make you feel satisfied?" Zhuge Liang's face was sullen, and his facial features seemed to be gradually becoming strange at this time.

Xu Shu laughed suddenly, his body trembling slightly: "Don't look at me with that look, I didn't come to fight with you today. You and I are both literati, even when there is a dispute, we need to use a refined way solve!"

"Whoa..."

"You are now Cao Cao's guest, my lord and Cao Cao are incompatible, so there is nothing to talk about between you and me!"

Zhuge Liang sat down slowly, and began to sort out the scrolls scattered on the desk before.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, Xu Shu slapped the book case with both hands. At that moment, it seemed that his whole body was lying on the book case.

"Are you so willing to be Liu Bei's servant for the rest of your life?"

Xu Shu's eyes were wide open, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and even a little cloudy and dark yellow.

"Your mental state doesn't seem to be very good, maybe you should take some time to take a good rest!" Zhuge Liang deliberately changed the topic, and at this time he didn't want to argue with Xu Shu on this issue.

"Zhuge Kongming, I'm not joking with you!" Xu Shu gritted his teeth and said, his forehead gradually began to ooze fine sweat.

"Xu Yuanzhi, when will it be your turn to interfere with me?!" Zhuge Liang frowned, his expression gloomy and terrifying.

"Heh...you really are a nerd, so confused!"

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Shu smiled stiffly, his words showing helplessness.

Zhuge Liang glanced at him subconsciously, but he couldn't figure out his thoughts at all.

"Huh..." Xu Shu raised his head and let out a long breath, then looked at Zhuge Liang again, and asked him solemnly, "Kong Ming, do you think I am a greedy villain?"

"you……"

"Oh!"

But at the moment when Zhuge Liang was about to answer Xu Shu's question, the door of the guest room was blown open by the wind!
The icy cold wind poured into the guest room like a turbulent river. The dim yellow candle struggled for a few seconds in the cold wind, but it was still extinguished after all.

"Damn the wind, it came at just the right time!"

Xu Shu cursed in a low voice, then turned around and closed the door tightly.

At this time, Zhuge Liang had already lit the extinguished lamp again, and the dim candlelight illuminated the guest room again.

"Speak, tell me your answer!" Xu Shu slowly walked back to the previous position, and continued talking about the topic he had talked with Zhuge Liang just now.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Zhuge Liang hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly stretched his brows and revealed a smile.

Xu Shu turned his head and looked aside, he seemed to be thinking about this question too.In the end, he finally came up with the answer: "If you said it, then I don't want you to lie to me!"

"Okay!" Zhuge Liang nodded pretending to be relaxed, but in fact he was encouraging himself, "In my memory, you have three images. You were young and frivolous at the beginning, arrogant and arrogant now, and you will be arrogant in the future." It's far away!"

"Is this really me? It sounds more like your evaluation of yourself!" Xu Shu shook his head, but his smile gradually solidified.

"Perhaps, after all, sometimes we look alike!" Zhuge Liang smiled, but that was all he said.

"Okay, thank you for giving me an answer! It's time for me to leave. I won't send you off!" Xu Shu bowed and saluted, then opened the door and left.

But Zhuge Liang has been suppressing his own thoughts, until now, he couldn't bear it anymore: "Yuan Zhi, do you really want to follow Cao Cao?"

At this moment, Xu Shu's steps suddenly stopped.

"No, I was joking just now!" Xu Shu turned around and replied seriously, "Cao Cao is just one of my many goals. He is a hero, and if you follow him, you will naturally achieve great achievements. What’s missing is that I’m used to being careless, and I’m afraid I’m not used to being thrown into a cage all of a sudden! So, I’m afraid I still need to think about this matter for a while!”

"Cao Cao's name is Han Chancellor, but he is actually a Han traitor. If your brother regards him as his master, wouldn't it be like recognizing a thief as his father?" Zhuge Liang seemed to want to persuade Xu Shu to turn around.

Xu Shu smiled and said: "Now that the world is in chaos, the Han Dynasty has long existed in name only. The talk of Han Xiang and Han thieves is nothing more than the vulgar words of those decadent scholars! Kong Ming, when did you join them?"

Zhuge Liang frowned: "Yuanzhi, your thoughts are simply frightening! Nowadays, the princes of the world dare not say that the great man is dead, but you, a scholar, dare to say such disobedient words!"
