He had been lucky enough to receive only a slap, and that was how he had survived.
"Aaaargh! Cao Thief, you villain! You've gone too far!"
Zhang Xiu's eyes nearly split with rage. At those words, he flew into a fury, turned to take the treasured sword hanging on the wall, and made to seek out Cao Cao and fight him to the death!
The many advisers in the study hurried forward to stop him.
"General, you mustn't! Please calm your anger!"
A slightly plump scholar hurried to his feet and threw his arms around Zhang Xiu, holding him back with all his strength.
"Jia Xu! Let go of me!"
Rage had gone to Zhang Xiu's head, and his eyes were bloodshot. "My aunt raised me from childhood! I regard her as my mother!"
"You tell me to calm down? If someone violated your aunt, could you remain unmoved?"
"Let go of me! I'm going to fight Cao Thief to the death!"
Jia Xu gritted his teeth. "If you go now, General, you'll only be throwing your life away! If you wish to kill Cao Cao, then hear me out!"
Those words finally brought Zhang Xiu back to his senses.
He stopped struggling and stared fixedly at Jia Xu, breathing heavily. "You have a way to kill Cao Thief?"
"I do!"
Seeing Zhang Xiu calm down, Jia Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He straightened his appearance before saying with complete confidence, "This plan will ensure Cao Cao dies in Wan City!"
At those words, the treasured sword in Zhang Xiu's hand fell to the floor with a clang. He bowed deeply to Jia Xu, his hands clasped, and said through gritted teeth, "Please enlighten me, sir!"
