Chapter 853

Besides these openly arriving major forces, there were also some people mixed in the crowd, entering the Number One City Under Heaven.

Including the remnants of Liangshan and Zhang Bao of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Bao failed to catch up with Tang Luo, but the Liangshan remnants did see King Wei Cao Cao, although none of these burly men had a wife present.

Yet Cao Cao still warmly received Wu Song and the others, saying that as long as you are willing to join, we will all be good brothers from now on.

Only, soon came news that the army pursuing Jia Rong suffered a crushing defeat, and that "Heaven and Earth Miracle" was made by Jia Rong's hand.

Wu Song and the others arrived at the huge fissure "Deep Valley" over ten kilometers long carved by Tang Luo, and after hearing the news of the update to the version of contending for supremacy under heaven and chasing deer in the central plains, they pondered for a moment, chose to leave the Great Cauldron, and head for the City of Chaos.

Jia Rong's proposed "Chess Warrior" is their only chance for revenge.

Although Cao Cao regretted that these people could not be used by him, he also did not stop them.

He sometimes has an astonishing appetite, for example Xu Shu; this fellow, after taking refuge with Cao Cao, truly said nothing, treating himself as a useless person.

Cao Cao also did not mind, and kept him for many years.

When Zhu Bajie saw Xu Shu, this guy was fat and sturdy, living a life of unknown comfort, and Zhu Bajie said he wanted to help him "escape the sea of suffering," but Xu Shu sternly refused.

After prolonged persuasion to no avail, Zhu Bajie once doubted whether Xu Shu had planned everything from the beginning.

Striving for a year or two, he emerged prominently, was valued by Cao Cao, poached talent, remained silent yet showed integrity, and happily lived out his old age.

Because of the act of buying a horse with a thousand gold, as long as one does not court death like Yang Xiu, one can happily live out one's old age until death.

Perfect.

After being tied up, Xu Shu's behavior of crying for father and mother served as corroboration for Zhu Bajie's guess.

"The dream of the Three Kingdoms, all shattered by you." Zhu Bajie often gazes heavenward and sighs.

"Was it not already shattered when you last met Zhuge Liang?" Ao Yulie laughed, saying, "By the way, second senior brother, this time's Zhuge Kongming..."

"Quite normal." Zhu Bajie said, answering in a way that let Ao Yulie feel somewhat disappointed.

How great would a burly Zhuge Kongming be.

The delegations of Great Ding, Great Yin, and Great Qian entered the Number One City Under Heaven, and the originally spacious roads instantly became crowded.

Between the "Three Kings Delegation," they yielded nothing to each other, and Great Qian and Great Yin also exchanged hostile glances.

The roads instantly became jammed, making forward movement impossible.

"Manager Xu..." Jiang Wei, deputy manager of the Number One City Under Heaven, looked toward Xu Shu.

Xu Shu repeatedly shook his head: "Ah, little Jiang, I am already old, this manager position of mine is fake, you are the future great manager of the Number One City Under Heaven..."

"..." Jiang Wei looked speechlessly at Xu Shu, then said, "Then I'll go clear the way."

He used to greatly admire Xu Shu, but now, he has turned from fan to detractor.

"No need, no need, the one to clear the way has come." Xu Shu smiled slightly, and grabbed Jiang Wei.

As they spoke, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, a hundred cavalry arrived instantly, and at the entrance of the Number One City Under Heaven (the Number One City Under Heaven has no city gate, nor does it need one), they slowed their pace.

Entering the main thoroughfare of the city at normal speed.

Leading them was a man in black armor, a burly fellow, his steed by day the Red Hare horse, which all martial artists under heaven greatly desire.

By night, Cao Cao, representing all men under heaven, openly desires it.

The gleaming bald head reflected sunlight into a dazzling ray.

The one who came, was Lü Bu!

Formerly the Number One Expert Under Heaven, after being defeated by Jia Rong, he did not suffer a lasting setback, merely his ferocious reputation remains.

Later, when he went out, everyone was no longer particularly afraid of him.

Now he has kept a bald head, looking even more ferocious than before, probably to make everyone fear him again.

According to rumors, Lü Bu's bald head is also Jia Rong's handiwork.

That day, Jia Rong swung the "World-Shocking Sword," and Lü Bu and his cavalry happened to be upon the sword's light.

Lü Bu, with his own strength, turned back the raging tide, blocking the sword light.

Yet thus he also had his remaining hair destroyed, so he took this as a "scar," swearing that before defeating Jia Rong, he would never again grow hair.

Openly transforming from a baldy to a bald head, very clever.

This idea surely came from Chen Gong; Lü Bu's head is full of muscles, one would not expect such a clever method.

No wonder Chen Gong is so highly regarded by Lü Bu, besides the daytime mount and the nighttime mount, the rest can be shared.

The bald-headed version of Lü Bu has a more intense killing aura than before, and is utterly one with the cavalry behind him.

Terrifying killing aura surged forward toward the group blocking the road, the "chief" of each delegation frowned, unwilling to clash with this bald head here, and simply made way.

"Hmph!"

Lü Bu coldly snorted, nostrils upturned, leading the charge toward the city center's upside-down mountain that defies common sense and the lord's manor above it.

After a while, everyone continued forward in front and behind, the road resumed smooth flow.

"Did the manager prepare in advance?" Jiang Wei looked at Xu Shu, truly deserving of being the silent man loved and supported by Cao Cao.

If he were willing to speak, his current position in Cao Cao's camp should not be inferior to that of Zhuge the Chancellor.

Road turns to fan.

"No, just now Elder Jia sent me a voice transmission saying Lü Bu has come." Xu Shu chuckled.

Jiang Wei's surprised expression on his face instantly vanished.

Fan turns to black, goodbye!

Jiang Wei left, of course not because he was angry, but because all the delegations need him to receive guests.

As for the legendary "Furnace People," speaking honestly, after briefly contacting them a few times, this grandmaster who can only stay in the furnace due to injury has a bad temper.

As for the legendary "people inside the furnace," to be honest, I've had brief contact with them a few times, and this grandmaster, who can only stay inside the furnace due to his injuries, doesn't have a very good temper.

Under the arrangements of Jiang Wei and Zhu Bajie, the reception work proceeds in an orderly manner.

Under the arrangements of Jiang Wei and Zhu Bajie, the reception work proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Important members of the delegation were all arranged to be in the garden.

On the lawn of the garden, there were many long tables, with various kinds of food and snacks, and maids and servants coming and going.

Simply put, Zhu Bajie had brought a Western-style buffet dinner here.

It was convenient for everyone to communicate freely, and the effect was quite good.

Here, one could see many big shots revealing a hidden side.

By the snack table, Zhuge Liang happened to reach out toward a delicate little snack, when another hand reached out and snatched it first.

The handsome and elegant Zhou Yu, with puffed cheeks, mumbled unclearly: "Sorry, Brother Kongming, I'm just a little bit faster than you."

"Would the Grand Commander like a drink of water?" Zhuge Liang said kindly.

He was afraid Zhou Yu would say a few more words and spit out the food in his mouth.

Spitting it out didn't matter; Zhuge Liang was afraid it would land on himself.

On the other side, Guan Yu's face was flushed red, staring at two people not far away, feeling an urge to go to the nearby weapon rack and retrieve his Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

The two people he was staring at, Lü Meng and Lu Xun, looked straight ahead, pretending not to see.

Two years ago, Guan Yu suffered a great loss at their hands, even losing Jingzhou, and despite his strength as a Grand Master, he was still severely injured; a month ago, when pursuing Tang Luo, he had not yet fully recovered.

Guan Yu regarded this as a great disgrace in his life, and had always wanted to regain face.

Beside him, Zhang Fei and his second brother shared the same hatred, saying, "I feel the same way."

On the Wei king's side, Ao Yulie patted Cao Pi's shoulder: "You've worked hard, you've worked hard."

Cao Pi's expression was somewhat difficult, not knowing how to respond, wondering why he had suddenly been told he had worked hard for no reason.

"Well, little Cao, could you tell me in detail what your wife looks like? No other meaning, just pure curiosity, I just want to ask."

Cao Pi turned his head away: (╬▔皿▔)

"Really, there's nothing. I'm just purely curious; later I still want to ask Zhou Yu what his wife looks like." Ao Yulie swore.

He just wanted to appreciate, is there anything wrong with that?

"……" Cao Pi couldn't help but look toward Zhou Yu, who seemed to have gained some weight.

Then he looked toward the "Jia Huan" in front, and for a moment, he had the idea of introducing him to his own father.

In that case, would the Jia and Cao families have common ground and become allies?

Wait, it's also possible that due to uneven distribution of spoils, our own people would turn on each other with dog brains.

Jiang Wei was weaving through the crowd, saying a few words here, laughing a couple of times there, fully displaying the charm of a social butterfly.

After a while, the chatter of the crowd gradually quieted down, and the main figure should appear soon, right?

"The City Lord has arrived!"

A shout came from somewhere unknown, and everyone unconsciously looked up at the sky.

The Heavenly Man Jia Rong... huh? He didn't descend from heaven.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Luo walked over from a small gate of the garden.

"……"

Everyone's gaze focused; you made your entrance, but it's not as flashy as before! Are you no longer capable?

If you're not capable, just say so quickly, and we'll immediately go back to continue fighting.

"The 108 Stars of Liangshan request an audience!"

At that very moment, a shout came from outside, covering the entire City Lord's mansion.

Many people frowned; the remnants of Liangshan? What do they want to do...

Cao Pi's expression changed slightly, somewhat worried that these people would drag their Wei forces into trouble, considering that Cao Cao had once taken them in.

Tang Luo glanced at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei nodded slightly, walked out of the garden, and soon brought back more than ten remnants of Liangshan.

The leader was none other than Wu Song and Lin Chong.

"Liangshan remnants! We wish to challenge Xuan Zun with the way of chess; does Xuan Zun dare to accept?" Wu Song looked at Tang Luo and said loudly.

"No need for such provocative tactics." Tang Luo said, "If I don't agree, do you think you can enter the city? Originally, someone else was arranged, but now, I, of the Jia family, will truly open a new way to contend for supremacy under heaven."

"After this, the Jia family will exist as the arbiters of the world, only taking action when arbitration and punishment are required."
