Mythical Three Kingdoms: Martial Arts Reach Divine Ranks, I Alone Rule the World

the next morning.

Zhen Jiang was standing in front of a pretty maid, giving her instructions on what to do if she stayed in the Red Mansion.

The maid was none other than the one Zhang Mu had rescued from the general.

This was originally part of Zhen Jiang's plan.

She wanted to send the girl out of the city to avoid attracting the attention of the General's Mansion and thus arousing suspicion about the Red Chamber.

after all.

As long as the people in the General's Mansion aren't stupid...

With a little investigation, one can follow the trail of the missing maid to find out who assassinated the general the night before.

however.

Before Zhen Jiang could take any action.

Last night, just as she was about to retire for the night, Zhang Mu suddenly sent her a telepathic message, informing her that the matter at the General's Mansion was settled and that the maid could stay or leave as she pleased.

finally.

Zhen Jiang decided to keep the maid Zhang Mu had rescued.

For no other reason than...

This is solely for the sake of those who might in the future harbor lustful desires for her and for the Red Mansion restaurant...

Before taking action, one must carefully consider and weigh the implications of the fact that General He Jin's maids and servants survived unharmed after his assassination attempt.

He was giving instructions.

Zhen Jiang noticed that the maid in front of her seemed somewhat absent-minded.

It seemed that the maid's gaze was always intentionally or unintentionally looking towards the entrance of the restaurant.

This infuriated her.

"Xiuhe, focus."

"If you want to work for me in the future, you must remember everything I just told you."

Xiuhe is the name of a maid.

Faced with Zhen Jiang's criticism, the maid Xiuhe couldn't help but shrink back.

"Miss...you've misunderstood me!"

"I was just looking at..."

Just as she was explaining, the maid Xiuhe hurriedly pointed to a young man who had entered through the door.

He defended himself, saying, "Miss, look!"

"Yes! It's him."

"I don't know if it's because I didn't sleep well last night."

"In the short time it takes you to speak to me, I have seen three young men with identical faces enter the restaurant and head straight upstairs."

three?

Exactly the same?

Hearing the maid Xiuhe's explanation, Zhen Jiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This world.

Where would you find three identical people?

But when she looked in the direction pointed out by her maid Xiuhe...

Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

"Brother Zhang?"

"How could it be you? Weren't you in your room upstairs? When did you leave? Why didn't you even greet me?"

Zhen Jiang spoke rapidly, and then approached Zhang Mu.

however.

To Zhen Jiang's surprise...

Despite her warm greeting, Brother Zhang acted as if he didn't see her at all when he came in.

He didn't even glance at her.

He then went upstairs on his own.

"Miss, do you know her?"

The maid Xiuhe had never met Zhang Mu, who had saved her life.

Or.

She originally had the opportunity to meet him.

But because she was afraid of being silenced, she pretended to be unconscious and never opened her eyes.

Zhen Jiang nodded gently in response to the question posed by her maid Xiuhe.

Just as Zhen Jiang was wondering if she had done something wrong that made Zhang Mu unhappy with her and was now ignoring her...

next moment.

Her eyes were wide open.

She saw...

At the entrance of the restaurant, another one of her brothers, Zhang, walked in.

Appearance and temperament.

She's exactly the same person who ignored her not long ago.

"Brother Zhang?"

Zhen Jiang couldn't help but call out softly again.

As before, her Brother Zhang ignored her calls.

"this……"

Zhen Jiang was suddenly filled with doubts.

Is this still the Brother Zhang she knows?

Which one is her Brother Zhang?

How come she suddenly has so many Brother Zhangs?

Just when Zhen Jiang thought Zhang Mu would never reappear...

Over the next half day.

She and her maid Xiuhe watched as no fewer than thirty Zhang Mus entered the restaurant one after another before going upstairs.

Their movements and expressions were so synchronized that they seemed to have been carved from the same mold.

at last.

Zhen Jiang could no longer sit still.

She went straight upstairs and knocked on Zhang Mu's door.

As soon as I entered.

She saw her brother Zhang sitting idly behind a long table, fiddling with a tuft of long hair in front of him.

"Did I see wrong?"

Zhen Jiang couldn't help but glance around the room a few times, wondering if any other Brother Zhangs were hiding there.

"Miss Zhen, what are you looking for?"

Zhang Mu noticed Zhen Jiang peeking around, smiled and asked a question, then teased, "But please don't worry."

"There was no mistress kept in Mu's room."

"Hide it!"

"The one who should be hiding is a great beauty like Miss Zhen."

Hearing Zhang Mu's teasing, Zhen Jiang blushed.

"No...that's not it!"

"Brother Zhang, I saw it because..."

Before Zhen Jiang could finish explaining, she suddenly stopped.

Because she noticed.

Behind her, another of her brothers, Zhang, arrived at that moment.

She glanced at Zhang Mu, who had just teased her behind the long desk, then looked at the lifeless, indifferent Zhang Mu beside her…

Zhen Jiang's cherry-like lips parted slightly, and she subconsciously moved her feet to the side to make way for Zhang Mu outside the door so that he could come in easily.

Later, Zhang Mu, whose expression was blank, ignored Zhen Jiang's shock.

He walked up to Zhang Mu behind the long table, and after exchanging a glance and nodding, his body vanished with a bang, turning into a strand of hair that landed on the long table.

"turn out to be……"

Zhen Jiang covered her mouth in surprise, her shock only growing.

"The thirty-odd Brother Zhangs I just saw were just a hair on his head. No wonder they acted so coldly."

Zhen Jiang's doubts vanished instantly, and she secretly marveled at Zhang Mu's unpredictable methods.

Just as she was about to step forward and ask Zhang Mu how many more hair incarnations had not yet returned, Zhen Jiang suddenly saw Zhang Mu sitting in the same spot and laughed.

"Tang Zhou has been found? And it seems he's being watched by Cao Cao?"

"hehe!"

"I thought it would take a long time to find Tang Zhou, but I didn't expect it to be so quick."

As the "Bean Soldiers" returned and dissipated, Zhang Mu immediately received the information he had seen.

This surprised him.

With a slight thought, he instantly withdrew the literary energy that had been overflowing from him to maintain the "Bean Soldier".

Without the support of literary style...

In an instant, the "bean soldiers" who had been ordered by Zhang Mu to search for Tang Zhou and had not returned were scattered all over Luodu. They disappeared into thin air like robots whose power had been cut off, turning into strands of hair that fell to the ground.

"Miss Zhen, could you please tidy up these strands of hair?"

"Shepherd".

"I need to go out again for some business."

……

Luodu West City.

At the corner of a street lined with houses on both sides, a middle-aged man, seven feet tall, with narrow eyes, a short beard, dark skin, and a sharp glint in his eyes, was staring intently at a courtyard gate in the distance.

Outside the courtyard gate.

There were two people dressed as civilians standing guard, constantly looking around warily.

"Mengde!"

Behind the man with narrow eyes and a short beard, a handsome and dignified companion tugged at his sleeve and stopped him from drawing his longsword.

"Your official rank is now that of a Consultant, not the Northern Commandant of Luodu who previously wielded a five-colored staff."

"While you suspect that the assassination attempt on the General last night was related to the suspicious owner of this courtyard, there's no need for you to personally intervene. Just inform the guards patrolling the city."

"Even if those guards can't take it..."

The speaker glanced at the thirty-six town general towers hanging high in the sky.

He continued, "With the abilities of those adults in the town's tower who rarely show themselves, they are more than capable of capturing the master of the courtyard alive."

"Why would we personally place ourselves in such a perilous situation? Have we not heard the saying that a wise man does not stand beneath a crumbling wall?"

Who would have thought?

Despite his companions' attempts to dissuade him...

The middle-aged man with narrow eyes and a short beard replied without turning his head.

"Benchu, if you're scared, remember to hide behind Cao Cao when the fighting starts."

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice echoed his sentiment.

"Yes, brother!"

"If you're scared, you should go back right now!"

"When Shu and Aman capture the villains in this courtyard and ask General He Jin for credit, and they join his staff as advisors, don't be jealous and say that we didn't take you with us."

"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, the handsome Yuan Shao glared at his younger brother Yuan Shu, who never missed an opportunity to taunt him.

"Clang!"

Yuan Shao drew the sword from the waist of the middle-aged man with a narrow eye and short beard; the sword's sharp light was intimidating.

"Mengde has guts!"

"My longsword, Yuan Benchu's, has never been ineffective."

Holding a long sword, Yuan Shao walked directly out of his hiding place and headed toward the two guards standing at the gate.

Not far away.

Zhang Mu, who arrived just in time to receive the news, witnessed this scene and felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Why does Yuan Shao seem even more reckless than Cao Cao?

Moreover, judging from the meaning behind the words of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu...

The reason why Tang Zhou was targeted by Cao Cao was actually because of his reprimand of He Jin.
