After finishing the draw, Zhuge Liang turned to Li Hong with an awkward smile. "Don't mind him; he's just a bit eccentric."
Li Hong's lips twitched, his heart in turmoil.
Was this really the Zhuge Liang he knew? Why did he feel so... flamboyant?
"It's fine, it's fine. I didn't mean to intrude. You all carry on; I'll take my leave," Li Hong chuckled nervously, intending to excuse himself.
Although Li Hong was quite interested in discussing whip techniques with Zhuge Liang, that didn’t mean he could accept a three-person scenario! Three people together was just too embarrassing; Li Hong didn’t have the courage for that.
Unexpectedly, just as Li Hong was about to leave, Zhuge Liang's expression changed. He asked in a low voice, "You think you can just barge into my military tent and walk away? You must think very little of me, Zhuge Liang. Is my military tent so easy to enter?"
"What do you want then?" Li Hong's face changed as he asked.
"There are unspoken rules!" Zhuge Liang said confidently, holding his feather fan.
"You've got the wrong person! I'm not here for that!"
Seeing the situation turning sour, Li Hong tried to back away. Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang had already seen through his intentions. Just as Li Hong was about to exit the military tent, Zhuge Liang shouted, "Help! Someone is trying to assault Zhuge Liang!"
The shout was powerful and full of energy. Coupled with Zhuge Liang's almost effeminate tone and dramatic demeanor, it seemed very convincing. If Li Hong hadn't witnessed Zhuge Liang's performance from start to finish, he would never have imagined that this handsome man could be such a character!
Having just arrived, Li Hong had lost the energy he had strengthened in Nightmare Space. His modification privileges were still in a gray state, leaving him without any means of self-defense. Moreover, this was inside the opposing commander’s military tent. If Zhuge Liang called for help, who knew how many soldiers would come rushing in from outside?
Realizing this, Li Hong couldn't let Zhuge Liang continue shouting. He quickly stepped forward and covered Zhuge Liang's mouth with his hand in a flash.
"Be quiet! I'm not interested in you; stop yelling!"
Zhuge Liang blinked his expressive eyes, tears shimmering in their corners.
Li Hong was utterly confused. What was going on with Zhuge Liang? He had merely covered his mouth to stop him from shouting, yet somehow, he had ended up in tears.
After a moment of thought, Li Hong quietly removed his hand from covering Zhuge Liang's mouth.
To his surprise, after Li Hong withdrew his hand, Zhuge Liang neither shouted nor sobbed uncontrollably. Instead, he sat helplessly in a corner of the tent, looking at Li Hong with a sorrowful expression. He remained silent, leaving Li Hong unsure of what was going through his mind. With no other option, he stepped away to untie Meng Huo's ropes.
"You actually..." Zhuge Liang murmured.
Li Hong, who was busy untying Meng Huo, didn’t catch that and turned back to ask, "What did you say?"
"You dared to tarnish my innocence with your filthy hands? You have some nerve!" Zhuge Liang exclaimed angrily as he stood up.
"Come on, Zhuge! Stop with your underhanded tricks. This brother here is an honest man," Li Hong replied dismissively.
Meng Huo swiftly pulled the ropes off himself and treasured them as if they were precious gems, tucking them away in his pocket. Then, shaking his head in response to Li Hong's bewildered gaze, he explained, "Don't listen to this bastard. After what happened last night, he was just like this. His innocence has probably been flushed away by his own actions."
"Oh, I see!"
Wiping nonexistent sweat from his forehead, Li Hong awkwardly remarked, "Your circle is really chaotic."
"Actually, it's not that bad. It mainly started getting messy since Zhuge Liang showed up," Meng Huo said as he found a clean spot and sat down cross-legged to explain.
Seeing the two engrossed in their conversation and ignoring him completely made Zhuge Liang's face turn pale with anger; his body trembled. If it weren't for the surge of affection he felt for Meng Huo at that moment, he might have drawn the long sword from within the military tent and struck down these two shameless fools.
After contemplating for a moment, Zhuge Liang couldn't bring himself to act on those thoughts. He could only turn away in frustration and step out of the military tent.
After all, out of sight meant out of mind!
Stepping out of the Military Tent, Zhuge Liang immediately spotted the soldiers sitting on the ground in a circle outside. As he approached and took a closer look, he realized these heartless fellows were actually playing Landlord!
"How could you all be playing Landlord when I am calling for help?" Zhuge Liang exclaimed angrily.
A burly officer with a thick beard casually tossed down his cards. "Royal Flush!"
Then, turning to the furious Zhuge Liang, he said, "What are you talking about, Chancellor? You called us three times, yet we didn't see you lose any flesh. Since you're fine, we naturally pretended not to hear."
Zhuge Liang was momentarily speechless, and after a long pause, he stammered, "But times have changed! Did you not see such a large person fall into my Military Tent? Luckily it was just an idiot; if it had been an assassin or something, wouldn't that have been disastrous?"
"Relax, relax! You have your own protection despite your looks. Besides, who would go out of their way to trouble you? Do you really think my Six Hundred Thousand Brothers are just idle?" the officer scoffed.
Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and retorted angrily, "Fools! What can you lot do with zero armor? I'm a Mid Lane Mage, do you understand Teamfight Core? If you don't come to protect me and I get assassinated, it's game over for all of you!"
"Chancellor, you're mistaken. Although our armor is low, our magic resistance is decent! Regardless of our status as soldiers, we are still Super Soldiers!" another officer countered.
Zhuge Liang felt a rush of frustration and shouted, "The enemy is all physical damage dealers; I'm the only AP here. What use are you worthless Six Witches?"
"Prevent fire, theft, and Zhuge!"
"Very good! Very good!"
The soldiers all stood up and shouted in unison.
Zhuge Liang trembled with rage and pointed at them as he scolded, "This is too much! This is too much! Although I publicly declare victory during the day, I have always adhered to my duties and never overstepped military regulations. Your behavior truly chills my heart! What difference is there between your actions and rebellion?"
"Chancellor, please do not bring this up again. We act this way merely for self-preservation."
"I, Zhuge Kongming, have done nothing unjust to you. I do not eat people, nor do I bite; what need is there for self-defense?" After his anger subsided, Zhuge Liang calmly explained.
However, just as he finished speaking, the sound of hooves echoed outside the military camp.
The roar of warhorses and the shouts of soldiers charging filled the air.
Zhuge Liang's expression changed dramatically as he shouted, "Enemy attack! All troops, advance!"
The commotion in the camp was naturally noticed by Li Hong and Meng Huo, who stepped out of the Military Tent together. Approaching Zhuge Liang, Meng Huo asked the still-shaken strategist, "Zhuge, what kind of trouble are you causing now?"
Before Zhuge Liang could respond to Meng Huo's question, a furious shout came from outside the third Military Tent.
"Zhuge San, return my husband!"
