Jiangling.

The city gates were wide open.

The firelight illuminated the dark night sky.

Cao Ren was fully armed.

He led a team of elite cavalry and waited for them ten miles outside the city.

When Cao Ren saw the tattered banner with the character "Cao,"

Cao Ren's eyes immediately reddened.

He dismounted and knelt on the ground.

"Prime Minister!"

"This humble general has arrived too late to rescue us!"

The horse beneath Cao Cao was foaming at the mouth and could barely stand.

I'm even worse off than a horse.

His whole body was covered in mud, and his cheeks were sunken.

This journey has been incredibly difficult.

Three days and nights.

From the sea of ​​fire at Red Cliff.

At Huarong Road, he was relentlessly pursued by Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu.

Upon hearing Cao Ren's voice, the energy and spirit that had sustained them all the way vanished instantly.

"Zixiao..."

Cao Cao's voice was weak.

"I... am back."

His body swayed.

He rolled off the horse.

"Thump."

He fell to the ground.

"Prime Minister!"

The generals were greatly alarmed.

They lifted him up with all their might.

Cao Cao waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

I'm just tired, hungry, and thirsty.

They entered the prefect's residence.

A warm feeling washed over me.

There was no wind or rain, no pursuers, and no Guan Yu's bright red face.

Came alive.

Cao Cao lay sprawled on the soft couch.

It looks just like a dried salted fish.

His eyes were fixed on the roof beam.

My throat felt like it was on fire.

"water……"

Cao Cao groaned.

"No water, just soup..."

"Get me a bowl of hot soup."

"I want meat broth."

"quick!"

That sound was clearly the last breath of a dying person.

Zhao Yu stood to the side.

Cao Ren was by Cao Cao's side, just about to take action.

The dry mud on his body fell off with each movement.

[Command detected: Retrieve soup.]

[Priority: Highest.]

[Execution Mode: Ultra-fast.]

He was hungry, but he could still move.

Without saying a word, he turned and rushed out of the lobby.

……

Kitchen.

It's chaotic.

The defeated army had just entered the city.

Thousands of mouths are waiting to be fed.

The cooks were extremely busy.

The big pot has just been set up, but no one has started cooking yet.

Zhao Yu rushed in.

Look around.

It was all raw meat in cold water.

When will we have to wait?

If the Prime Minister's voice doesn't get moistened soon, it's probably going to burst into flames.

Sudden.

The nose twitched.

fragrance.

It has a rich chicken soup flavor.

On that little stove in the corner.

A clay pot is bubbling away.

That was food that Cao Ren had specially arranged to prepare for Cao Cao.

Stewed with old hen

I endured it for two hours.

It has a golden color.

Oil droplets floated on top.

The servant had just picked up the bowl,

I walked to the stove, picked up a spoon,

It was filled to the brim with a large bowl.

He blew on the hot air.

Fragrant.

They were preparing to send it to the prefect's residence.

"call--"

A gust of wind swept by.

It had a muddy, fishy smell.

The servant only felt a blur before his eyes.

My hand suddenly felt lighter.

The bowl is gone.

The servant maintained the posture of holding the bowl.

I was stunned for three seconds.

Looking at his empty hands.

I glanced again at the figure that had already darted to the door.

Who is that?

He was wearing tattered leather armor and was covered in mud.

Was he just a low-ranking soldier?

Are his wet nurse's soldiers all this wild now?

How dare you steal the Prime Minister's food?

"How dare you!"

The servant was furious.

I'm really angry.

This was specially arranged by Cao Ren for Prime Minister Cao.

He'll lose his head if he doesn't do a good job.

Are soldiers this crazy these days?

You don't want to live anymore, do you?

"stop!"

"Which battalion are you from?!"

"You've gone too far!"

"This is for the Prime Minister."

The attendant strode after him.

Zhao Yu didn't even turn his head.

Holding a bowl.

They run incredibly fast.

But his hands are very steady.

That bowl of soup was full, and not a single drop spilled.

Do not ask.

If you ask, this is the "absolute balance" honed on the fiery ship and iron chains.

"Stop right there!"

The servants chased after them, cursing.

"You dare steal the Prime Minister's soup? You don't want your head, do you?!"

Zhao Yu rushed to the lobby entrance.

They stopped in their tracks.

Turn around.

Looking at the disgruntled servant.

"What are you shouting for? What are you shouting for?"

The servants caught up, and good heavens, they were still wearing Wu army clothes. A surrendered soldier, daring to steal soup.

As she spoke, she reached out to grab Zhao Yu's collar.

"You...you scoundrel!"

"Put the soup down!"

"That belongs to the Prime Minister!"

Zhao Yu was holding the soup.

Look at the servant.

It's like watching a child who doesn't know any better.

"The Prime Minister wishes to drink."

Four words: simple and direct.

ah????

The servant's initial anger was immediately extinguished.

"Would the Prime Minister like a drink?"

Zhao Yu nodded.

"The Prime Minister is dying of thirst."

"Do you want more?"

Attendant: "..."

There's no way to respond to that.

He originally intended to give it to the Prime Minister.

The main problem was this soldier's attitude; he was too arrogant and deserved a beating.

"Then... then you should explain properly!"

The servant's face turned bright red with embarrassment.

"What are you robbing?!"

"What should I do if I spill it!"

Zhao Yu ignored him.

Turn around.

Enter the house.

The attendant, still angry, followed him into the main hall.

He wanted to see who this arrogant brat was working for.

……

Inside the lobby.

Cao Cao was still groaning.

"Soup……"

"My soup..."

Zhao Yu walked to the bedside.

"Prime Minister."

"The soup is here."

Cao Cao smelled the fragrance.

Eyes that were originally unable to open.

It lit up immediately.

He snatched the bowl away.

They didn't even care that it was hot.

"Gulp gulp".

in one breath.

I ate a whole big bowl of piping hot chicken soup straight away.

"ha--"

He choked.

Cao Ren hurriedly came to help Cao Cao.

(Press down along your chest to help you swallow.)

Go down.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

He threw the bowl on the ground.

"Cool!"

"He's alive!"

"She really came back to life!"

Finally, color returned to his face.

I regained feeling in my hands and feet.

The servant stood aside, looking aggrieved.

"kindness?"

"Xiao Li, what brings you here?"

Cao Ren noticed the attendant following behind Zhao Yu.

The servant looked grief-stricken.

He glared at Zhao Yu.

"General, Prime Minister!"

"That soldier is so rude!"

"Completely unruly!"

"They just snatched food from my hand!"

Cao Cao glanced at the empty bowl on the ground.

She glanced at Zhao Yu, who was standing to the side as if nothing had happened.

In an instant, I understood everything.

"Hahaha!"

"Good job!"

"Great move!"

Cao Cao pointed at Zhao Yu,

"It's alright, it's alright!"

"Don't blame him. Do you even know who he is?"

The servant shook his head.

"He looks unfamiliar; he's a surrendered soldier."

His name is Zhao Yu, he doesn't have a courtesy name.

Cao Cao's voice rose.

"During the fire at Red Cliff, it was he who carried me out."

"On Huarong Road, it was he who stopped Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei."

"And when I finally met Guan Yu, he wanted to die with me."

Cao Ren's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Looking at this soldier covered in mud.

How could he be so brave?

I originally thought he was just a corrupt and opportunistic soldier who had surrendered.

Cao Cao patted his attendant on the shoulder.

"Little Li, right? I'll remember you. Don't take it to heart."

"He has no respect for anyone."

"Because in his eyes, there is only me!"

"That's right!"

Cao Cao stood up.

Bare feet.

I walked around the lobby.

Pointing at Zhao Yu, he loudly announced:

"This is my vicious dog!"

"No one but me can truly tame him!"

At least for now.

"No one but me can order him around!"

"Don't even mention stealing a bowl of your soup."

"It's because I stole your wife."

"Anything that's for my use is worth taking!"

Zhao Yu stood there.

He lowered his head, his lips twitching slightly.

A vicious dog?

That title... think about it.

Anyway, you're the boss, so you call the shots.
