Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.

"gentlemen……"

"I still feel that this is not quite appropriate."

"Given the current situation, wouldn't going to the Minister of Works' residence arouse suspicion?"

Xu Huang pursed his lips and said hesitantly.

Su Chen is now being watched by quite a few people.

Although it looks like there's no one here right now.

But there are so many gentry in Xuchang, who knows if there might be spies around?

Going straight to the Minister of Works' residence right after taking down the notice is bound to raise eyebrows.

"Don't worry, I've already planned it out."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, about to speak.

"Knock knock knock".

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

This immediately surprised Su Chen slightly.

Who could be coming to find him?

In this city of Xudu, the only person who could possibly be looking for Su Chen is Cao Cao.

However, it is clear that Cao Cao cannot come at this time.

Who could it be?

Xu Huang looked at Su Chen.

After Su Chen nodded, he went to open the door.

"Hahaha, Jingming, long time no see!"

As soon as the door opened, a hearty laugh rang out.

Su Chen was slightly taken aback and looked at the person who had come.

The one who arrived was none other than Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao!

"Brother Fengxiao?"

Upon seeing this, Su Chen smiled slightly.

Su Chen had a fairly good impression of Guo Jia.

This was evident from the moment he first entered Cao Cao's camp.

Guo Jia, who also came from a poor family, greatly helped Su Chen.

Even if Guo Jia didn't say it, Su Chen knew that Guo Jia had spoken to him quite a bit before he arrived.

"I heard you just moved into your new house."

"However, military affairs are complicated, so I have come to pay a visit."

"Jingming, you won't blame me, will you?"

Guo Jia walked over with a smile on his face.

Xu Huang quickly closed the door and stepped aside.

Su Chen chuckled and said:

"Brother Fengxiao, you flatter me."

"No one visits the Three Treasures Hall without a reason."

"What brings you here today?"

Su Chen didn't even need to think about it.

It's clear that Guo Jia couldn't have come to congratulate him on moving into his new home.

As a military strategist, Guo Jia was extremely busy in the army and simply couldn't spare much time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have died at such a young age due to overwork and a cold constitution.

Guo Jia immediately laughed:

"As expected, I couldn't escape your eyes."

"I heard that you, Jingming, tore down the challenge notice in Xudu City today?"

Su Chen nodded:

"A fool wouldn't make money if he could."

"I made twenty copper coins for free, and no one has come to collect them for five days."

Guo Jia was immediately taken aback:

"Money earned for free?"

"Jingming, don't tell me you just tore down the notice without even reading what was on it?!"

He was truly dumbfounded.

He originally came because Cao Ang had told him about this matter.

He wanted to ask Su Chen what his plans were.

After all, this is a crucial step in promoting frugality in Xudu.

We can't afford any mishaps.

However, he never expected that Su Chen would say that this was free money, and it would be a waste not to take it.

Now, he really had no idea what Su Chen was up to.

"I can't explain it to you in a short time."

"Come with me."

Su Chen shrugged and gestured for Xu Huang to open the door.

"Come with you? Where to?"

Guo Jia was completely baffled.

What exactly is Su Chen trying to do?

How come he can't understand it at all?

In the past, no matter what happened, Guo Jia could always guess a thing or two.

He is therefore known as a genius.

But he really couldn't figure out Su Chen's thought process.

My thinking can't keep up at all.

Su Chen doesn't play by the rules at all.

"Just follow me, what are you afraid of?"

Su Chen said this and then took Xu Huang and headed out.

Seeing this, how could Guo Jia stay here?

He hurriedly lifted his feet and followed closely behind.

"Gongming, don't worry."

"I've already explored this road; very few people travel on it."

Even those aristocratic families wouldn't notice this place.

As Su Chen spoke, he led the two into a narrow alley.

The path was filled with a strange smell, which made Guo Jia frown.

"Don't be disgusted. If it weren't for the smell, why wouldn't the retainers of those aristocratic families come here?"

"There's a restaurant up ahead; this is where they dump their swill."

Su Chen covered his nose and spoke.

Guo Jia nearly fainted from anger.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Soon, the three of them passed through the alley.

Not far from the alley, one can clearly see the appearance of the Sikong Mansion!

"The Minister of Works' residence..."

"Jingming, don't tell me you're going to join the Minister of Works' mansion!"

Guo Jia was completely stunned.

Now, he was even more unable to figure out Su Chen's thoughts.

"We're heading to the Minister of Works' residence."

"Don't worry, Fengxiao, come with me, it'll be fine."

"You also enjoy Sikong's deep trust."

After saying that, Su Chen strode towards the Sikong Mansion without saying another word.

Guo Jia quickly followed:

"Jingming, this is really inappropriate!"

Even though he knew that Su Chen had deliberately avoided those who wanted to watch him.

But is it appropriate to enter the Sikong Mansion without authorization?

However, Su Chen didn't care about any of that and strode directly to the side gate of the Sikong Mansion.

"Mr. Su, you've arrived?"

Upon seeing Su Chen, the guard immediately greeted him with a fawning smile.

"Xiao Wang, are you on duty today?"

"Do a good job."

"By the way, don't tell anyone I was here."

Su Chen patted the guard on the shoulder with practiced ease.

The guard immediately beamed with joy:

"Please rest assured, sir, I will not reveal a single word!"

Su Chen said with a smile:

"That's good, if anyone finds out about this."

"Young Wang, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the Sikong Mansion anymore."

The guard's eyes widened immediately;

"Don't worry, sir, my tight-lipped nature is well-known far and wide."

"Otherwise, Sikong wouldn't have given me this opportunity."

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.

He then took out two copper coins and handed them to the guard.

"Thank you, sir!"

The guard immediately became excited.

It's not about how much money he has, but about Su Chen's identity!

This series of actions left Guo Jia and Xu Huang completely dumbfounded.

How come Su Chen is so familiar with the guards of the Sikong Mansion?

How many times have you come here?!

Guo Jia and Xu Huang were in the army and had no idea that Su Chen had been living in the Sikong Mansion for some time.

Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the two astonished people.

Maintaining a good relationship with the guards on a regular basis is called being worldly-wise.

Those who are already in high positions and completely blind to those below them will never understand.

Even though Xu Huang was just a captain, he was still an unattainable figure in the eyes of ordinary people.

In terms of these things, they should really learn a thing or two from Su Chen.

"Jingming, I really don't understand."

"What brings you to the Minister of Works' residence?"

Guo Jia simply couldn't hold back any longer.

Now that we've finally arrived at our destination, I had a moment to ask.

Su Chen rolled his eyes at Guo Jia:

"What else could we be here for?"

"Just trying to freeload a meal."

"what?"

Guo Jia's brain short-circuited at that moment.

To get to the Sikong Mansion, we had to go through the side gate.

If Su Chen hadn't said anything, Guo Jia would have thought that Su Chen had some important matter to report to Sikong!

They're here to freeload?!
