Chapter 75

Her high, straight nose was pretty and tender without losing dignity, and dimples appeared slightly on both cheeks.

Every smile and frown was beautiful and peerless.

Her crystal-clear skin was as soft as jade.

A purple-black long dress covered her body, yet it still couldn't hide her curvaceous figure.

With such looks, even without makeup, placed in the later era where makeup sorcery was prevalent, she could be rated ninety-five points.

Even with Gu Yi's concentration, the moment he saw this woman, he was slightly distracted.

However, he quickly reacted and subconsciously took this woman to be Li Ru's daughter.

Given Li Ru's age, having a daughter this big was perfectly normal.

Gu Yi slightly cupped his hands and said:

"Mr. Wenyou, I didn't know Miss Li was here today; I came rashly, please forgive me."

Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Li Ru's eyes.

He then slightly looked at the woman opposite, only to see that woman quickly give him a look to not make a sound.

Seeing this, Li Ru had to smile bitterly and say to Gu Yi:

"Young Friend Gu, don't be so formal."

"According to reason, I should be the one visiting you."

"If it weren't for you helping Hua Xiong at Sishui Pass before, I'm afraid with that scoundrel's ability, he would have long been defeated by the coalition."

What Li Ru said was indeed the truth.

Although Hua Xiong's martial arts were quite good.

But compared to top-tier fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he was a bit lacking.

If it weren't for Gu Yi's help.

Hua Xiong would probably not only be defeated.

But would also lose his life because of it.

Why was Li Ru so concerned about Hua Xiong?

In reality, Li Ru had quite good relationships with most of the Xiliang lineage generals.

Especially Hua Xiong; this scoundrel had once saved Li Ru from an encirclement while wounded in a certain battle.

Although in others' eyes, Li Ru was a ruthless person.

Who had once poisoned the young emperor.

But within the Xiliang Army, Li Ru's reputation was extremely good.

Although a literatus, he could play along with everyone.

"Mr. Wenyou is too polite."

"That was merely my duty."

"A person who plans and plots can achieve victory from thousands of miles away."

"But without a person who can coordinate from the center, even if the army is powerful, it can only be a group of rabble."

"Compared to me, Mr. Wenyou's contribution to the victory is even more undeniable."

Gu Yi spoke eloquently.

Li Ru, as the manager of the Xiliang Army, was doing things actually similar to Xun Yu of the future Cao camp.

The huge Xiliang Army.

If there were no one who could coordinate from the center.

Even if the army's combat power was strong.

It would ultimately be useless.

However, although that's how it's said.

But if you want to talk about the person who contributed the most to this victory, of course it was still Gu Yi.

However...

Who could refuse Gu Yi, who was handsome and spoke well?

Although there was a suspicion of flattering Li Ru, it was done just right.

Li Ru's gaze toward Gu Yi couldn't help but become more kind.

And the woman sitting beside Li Ru.

At this moment, she was blinking her big eyes continuously, not knowing what she was thinking about.
