A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 54 Du Huo's Hesitation

"Returning to the lord, although Li Su has the intention of surrendering now, he is still a little hesitant. He has always heard that the lord is a benevolent and righteous king, and he is afraid that the lord will not tolerate him as a greedy courtier.

Therefore, I want to ask the lord for a letter of forgiveness, hoping to save his life with this letter! "

Under Du Huo's questioning, Cai Yong revealed his true purpose with a look of hesitation.

Perhaps this was one of his ways. Since Du Huo could ask himself, it would be better than him saying it himself.

"Oh... so this is your real purpose! Why do you say you have to make such a big circle? Just say no!"

After realizing Cai Yong's intention, Du Huo shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help sighing inwardly that Cai Yong was pretending to be smart.

Cai Yong apologized and said: "My lord, I hope you will forgive me. I am humble and condescending, and I think I can't take on such an important task. Therefore, I have to test the lord's mind first. After I understand the lord's mind, I dare to speak out my intentions below!"

Du Huo shook his hands, showing a nonchalant expression: "The matter is not as serious as you think. Although you are my subordinate, there is no need for you to take yourself too lowly! In my military camp, as long as there are I will treat talented and capable subordinates as equals. And you just meet this standard!"

Hearing this, Cai Yong immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your praise, my lord, I am ashamed!"

Du Huo's evaluation made Cai Yong somewhat unexpected.Before that, he also served several monarchs.But I have never met a monarch who spoke such words like Du Huo!

Therefore, it is quite normal for him to have such a reaction.

"Heh... isn't your reaction too big? Get up quickly, I don't want to accept this great gift for no reason!"

Du Huo lowered his head and glanced at Cai Yong, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.

Although Du Huo is not very used to being worshiped by people, but when this moment really comes, it does feel a bit different.

However, he did not let this feeling last too long.Perhaps it was because of the deep-rooted concept of equality in his heart that he felt a little uncomfortable even when he was enjoying himself.

"Here!"

Cai Yong stood up with his hands on the ground, patted the soil on his knees, and then returned to his respectful posture.

"How about this, you go back to the post to rest first! After I finish writing the letter, I will send someone to deliver it to you!"

Du Huo originally planned to go back to the study and write a letter to Cai Yong, but he felt that the matter seemed a bit unreliable. After all, whether Li Su should be killed or retained, he had not yet reached a conclusion at the moment. Accurate decision.So she felt that she had to discuss it with Zhuge Liang before making a decision.Therefore, he planned to settle Cai Yong first and wait for him to make a decision before replying!
"My lord, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not?" Hearing this, Cai Yong's eyebrows showed a little worry, as if he had guessed Du Huo's mind at this moment.

"You don't have to be reserved, just say whatever you want!"

"Here! My lord, before this trip, General Fengxian only gave me two days. If I can't go back within two days, then General Fengxian will have a decisive battle with the enemy. Now , General Fengxian's troops are not sufficient, I am worried..." At this point, Cai Yong deliberately paused for a while, as if he wanted to give Du Huo some time to think.

"I understand what you mean, you go back and wait, I have my own measure in this matter!"

Du Huo understood Cai Yong's words, but he didn't respond much.

Now he already has a plan in his heart, so even if Cai Yong urges him, he will not change his mind.

Cai Yong glanced at Du Huo again, although he felt a little reconciled, but there was nothing he could do.

"Here! Then I will go back to the post and wait for the Lord's news, and I will take my leave!"

After giving another salute, Cai Yong stepped back a few steps, resigned and left.

Looking at Cai Yong's disappearing figure, Du Huo didn't feel anything.Time is running out now, the only way to discuss this matter with Zhuge Liang first is the best policy.

Therefore, after bidding farewell to Cai Yong, Du Huo hurriedly put on a new suit of clothes, drove to the palace, and made an appointment with Zhuge Liang.

……

Guiyang Mansion Palace, the meeting hall.

"Snapped!"

Zhuge Liang patted the last stack of scrolls heavily on the desk.Guiyang is reclaimed, and the trivial matters that need to be dealt with right now are obviously much more than those in other cities.

Therefore, since the early hours of last night, Zhuge Liang has been staying in this meeting hall reviewing files and stayed up all night. At this time, he couldn't help but look a little haggard.

And at this time, there was the sound of a car driving outside the hall, and now, except for Du Huo, there is no one else who dares to drive directly to the palace.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang didn't need to get up to check to know who was coming.

"Kong Ming?"

Du Huo walked into the mansion with big strides, pushed open the door of the meeting hall, and called softly.

"My lord..."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang hastily put down the file in his hand and got up to meet Du Huo.

"You are indeed here, you haven't gone back all night, have you?"

Du Huo's question was somewhat casual, as if it was a normal greeting.

"Hehe..." Zhuge Liang laughed a few times, and his peeling lips gradually cracked a few scars with his smile, "There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with in the city recently, so I spent more time!"

"Mister, you have worked hard! Although the affairs in the city need to be dealt with urgently, you also need to pay attention to your body! After all, you are the pillar of our army, if you are exhausted, who should support this army!" Du Huo Persuade.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. I will pay attention!" Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile on his face. Although Du Huo just mentioned it casually, in Zhuge Liang's opinion, it is worth a thousand words.

"Well! Do you have time now? I have something I need to discuss with you!" After a few chats, Duhuo quickly got to the point.

"If I'm not wrong, this incident should be related to the battle in Lingling City?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Well! Right now, our army has all been stationed around Lingling City. However, because there are camps blocking Lingling City's periphery, it is impossible for the army to go deep.

However, it is said that Lu Bu has reached a consensus with Li Su, the camp guard. After Li Su accepts the gift, he is willing to donate the camp and surrender to our army.If this is true, I believe that Lingling City will be regained soon! "

"If that's the case, then what is the Lord worried about?" Zhuge Liang asked puzzled.

"Alas!" Du Huo sighed softly, "You don't know, right now Li Su wants me to show him a letter of forgiveness, assuring him that I will not make things difficult for him in the future.

Only in this way can he dare to surrender to our army with peace of mind, while I am hesitating whether I should write this letter or not! "
