Chapter 4: Don

Although Hua Xiong was a reckless man, he still possessed the necessary vigilance.

A person walking swaggeringly toward Sishui Pass.

From any angle, this was a highly abnormal matter.

After thinking it over, Hua Xiong decided to dispatch a squad of soldiers to intercept Gu Yi, who was walking this way.

Gazing at the dozens of Xiliang armored soldiers coming toward him.

The expression on Gu Yi's face did not change in the slightest, appearing incomparably calm and composed.

"Gentlemen, I am merely a lone individual."

"But I have a matter of great importance that needs to be reported to your General Hua Xiong."

"I ask that you gentlemen bring me into the pass."

Hearing Gu Yi's tone, which was not in the least bit flustered, the Xiliang armored soldiers fell into silence for a moment.

For some reason, in their hearts, a latent voice suddenly appeared, making them unable to harbor even the slightest bit of malice toward the person before them.

The next instant, an unprecedented scene appeared!

The squad leader of the Xiliang armored soldiers bowed to Gu Yi with a gentle tone and said:

"We are acting under the orders of General Hua Xiong; we shall bring you, sir, into the pass to see General Hua Xiong."

Stunned, brother!

Is this still the arrogant and domineering Xiliang Army of ordinary days?

Apart from their own people, the Xiliang Army had never been so kind to anyone else.

But right now, under the effect of Gu Yi's 【Eloquence】 talent trait, these Xiliang soldiers subconsciously agreed to his request directly.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of Gu Yi's mouth.

Immediately, under the escort of the Xiliang armored soldiers, he swaggeringly ascended Sishui Pass.

"Reporting to the General, this gentleman has been brought by us."

Walking onto Sishui Pass, the squad leader of the Xiliang armored soldiers reported to Hua Xiong.

"Hmm?"

A trace of doubt flashed through Hua Xiong's heart.

He had clearly ordered for this person to be intercepted.

But now, listening to the squad leader's tone, it sounded as if they had invited this person up.

Could it be that the tone he used when speaking just now was wrong?

Otherwise, how could this group of loyal and domineering Xiliang soldiers be so polite to this black-robed scholar?

However, since the person had already been brought up, Hua Xiong found it difficult to reprimand the group of Xiliang armored soldiers under his command.

He saw his brows lift slightly as he sized up Gu Yi.

Then he spoke:

"If this General is not mistaken, you just came from the direction of that group of rebels in Guandong, right?"

"Could it be that you want to sneak into my Sishui Pass to pass on information?"

Having said that, a sharp aura erupted from Hua Xiong's body.

Although his combat power was not the top in the world, looking at the heroes of the world, it was actually still at a decent level.

In the various games of his past life, if Hua Xiong's combat power were digitized, it could reach a height of ninety points!

It could be called the threshold of a first-class warrior. (Above first-class are super-first-class and top-tier powerhouses.)

For example, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, with digitized scores greater than ninety-five, were considered super-first-class fierce generals.

And those like Lu Bu, whose data exceeded one hundred points, were considered top-tier powerhouses.

However, Hua Xiong's aura was destined to have absolutely no effect on Gu Yi.

Gu Yi smiled calmly and replied:

"General, there is no need to be anxious."

"If I were a mole, then the General need not listen to what I have to say; you could simply imprison me directly."

"If I am not a mole, I can assist the General in achieving a great career!"

"Who is right and who is wrong, the General can judge for himself."

These words aroused Hua Xiong's keen interest.

A person who could still remain calm and composed in the face of his pressure must either possess superb martial arts or have a mentality far exceeding that of ordinary people.

And the black-robed scholar before him clearly had no strength to truss a chicken; he did not look like a person with superb martial arts.

Then there was only one possibility.

That was that this black-robed scholar's state of mind was definitely not that of an ordinary person!

To speak of such a figure, Hua Xiong had only seen two so far.

One was the chief strategist of the Xiliang Army, Li Ru, Li Wenyou, who was also the eldest son-in-law of the boss, Dong Zhuo. ===== CHAPTER 5 =====
