Hathaway looked at Zou Henxu in surprise, quickly got off her horse and asked:

"How did you get here?".

Zou Henxu smiled bitterly and said:

"Thanks to my sister who gave us ten gold coins, I used the money to buy a horse, prepare dry food and fodder, and then came all the way with my sister and the big dog."

Hathaway immediately laughed and said to Xu Kuang:

"Look, what did I say? My decision was correct."

Before Xu Kuang had time to say, "Yes, yes, you are right." He heard Hathaway's slightly whimpering voice:

"It must be very hard for you guys to come all the way, right?"

Zou Henxu spoke again:

"Sister, please accept us!".

Hathaway laughed and said:

"Take it, take it."

But she soon felt guilty. She looked at Xu Kuang and asked:

"Can you accept it...?"

Only then did Zou Henxu notice Xu Kuang.

He stood up, saluted Xu Kuang, and said:

"Please master, accept us.".

Xu Kuang nodded.

Well, the mission is completed and the rewards have been settled. But Xu Kuang just... felt a little unhappy for no reason.

Xu Kuang smiled and thought:

"I'm such a big man, and I still care about these little things. I shouldn't, I shouldn't."

After he figured this out, he smiled at Zou Henxu and said:

"You have come all the way, you must be very tired, right? Find a truck that transports fodder and take a nap, then wash yourself clean when you wake up. After all, you will be from Mogu Ridge, so you can't embarrass us. ."

Xu Kuang said the word "we" very seriously.

Everyone laughed.

…

mushroom ridge

A quick horse arrived and reported to Zhuge Duan the news that Xu Kuang was about to arrive.

After Zhuge Duan read the message from Xu Kuang, he quickly summoned relevant personnel to clean the warehouse, arranged a welcome guard, and led his people to wait early at the entrance of Mushroom Ridge.

When Xu Kuang arrived, he saw Zhuge Duan waiting here. He quickly dismounted and saluted Zhuge Duan.

Zhuge Duan smiled heartily and said:

"It's been a month since we've seen each other, how wonderful my lord is."

"Okay, okay, how are you, sir?".

"Okay, Mushroom Ridge is also good.".

Then Xu Kuang introduced everyone to Zhuge Duan.

Henry and Winston noticed the power in Zhuge Duan's body early, quickly got off their horses and returned the favor to Zhuge Duan.

Henry looked at Zhuge Duan with intense eyes, and then smiled:

"I didn't expect Brother Xu's men to be crouching tigers, hidden dragons.".

Xu Kuang realized something was wrong:

"No, this old boy wants to poach my people, no, I have to pull aside!".

"Haha, Brother Henry is joking. There is a banquet prepared inside. Let's go to the living room to eat first."

Henry sneered and said:

"good.".

Henry asked Winston using the sound transmission equipment:

"How about this Zhuge Duan?".

"On the surface, there is only a brave level, but there is a more powerful force sealed within the body, which should not be underestimated.".

Henry's desire to poach people became active again.

The group of people were making an assault boat upwards, which did not shock Henry. He just regarded it as a novel alchemical product.

In the final analysis, after Henry saw Zhuge Duan, he couldn't move his eyes away, and he didn't have the heart to care about what was there and what was not.

After the banquet was over, Xu Kuang said:

"It's getting late. Brother Henry, why don't you go to bed early? I'll take you to visit Mushroom Ridge tomorrow. What do you think?"

Henry nodded helplessly. His curiosity was already over the top, but Xu Kuang had no intention of taking him to see it immediately.

Henry and Winston were led to a hotel to rest.

Winston could not help but say to Henry:

"Isn't this too contemptuous of you? No matter what, I have to bring you home to live, right?"

The waiter who led the way quickly explained:

"No, our lord does not have a mansion, only a bedroom.".

"What?" Winston's eyes widened and he asked, "He is such a wealthy lord, but he doesn't have his own mansion?".

The waiter smiled bitterly and said:

"Yes, but the generals and officials under our lord have their own mansions.".

When Henry heard this, his face was ashen.

Winston asked quickly:

"What's wrong?".

Henry dismissed the waiter, and then said to Winston:

"It seems that it is difficult to conquer that Zhuge Duan!".

Winston sighed and said to Henry:

"I advise you to accept this idea.".

Henry jumped up from the bed and asked:

"Why?".

"This Zhuge Duan's real strength should be higher than mine, but he is willing to serve as an official in charge of internal affairs for Xu Kuang. We don't understand the relationship between this. If we do it rashly, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect, and if Zhuge Duan If I really come under your command, I guess we and Xu Kuang will be enemies. Choose one of the two, you choose one."

Henry suddenly realized it, and he said to Winston:

"Winston, you saved me.".

Yes, Zhuge Duan is certainly valuable, but isn't Xu Kuang, who conquered Zhuge Duan, even more valuable?

…

At Zhuge Duan's mansion.

Xu Kuang sat in front of Zhuge Duan with runny nose and tears, while Zhuge Duan kept comforting Xu Kuang.

"Lord, why is this happening?"

Xu Kuang sobbed:

"It's just that my husband is leaving me soon, and I feel reluctant to leave."

Zhuge Duan's expression changed drastically and he asked quickly:

"Master, why did you say this?"

Xu Kuang still sobbed:

"Then Henry's wealth is a hundred times greater than mine, and his power is a hundred times greater than mine. Now that he has fallen in love with you, I have absolutely no reason to stop him."

Zhuge Duan also sighed after hearing this.

"Lord, you and I have known each other for less than two months, but the kindness between you and me cannot be described in two months. In the past two months, my lord has trusted Duan so much, how could Duan bend down for mere wealth and power!"

When Xu Kuang heard this, he looked ashamed and apologized quickly:

"I'm sorry, sir, I lost my temper."

Zhuge Duan's expression softened slightly, and he said to Xu Kuang:

"Don't worry, my lord, all I want in this life is to always be by your lord's side, hold a lamp, study ink, and do the work of a dog or horse!"

Xu Kuang was completely relieved. Since Zhuge Duan said this, his tears that night were not in vain.

There was no way, Xu Kuang really had no way. Compared with Henry, he had nothing. Although Zhuge Duan was extracted from the system, he was really worried about Zhuge Duan being abducted, so he imitated Uncle Liu Huang.

At the moment, it seems that the effect is pretty good.

…

the next day

Henry and Winston got up early and started walking around Mushroom Ridge.

Winston said to Henry:

"In just one kilometer, I have already seen 71 warriors, 33 priests of various types and 5 magicians. This Mushroom Ridge is really scary."

"More than that...".

Just as Henry was about to speak, a group of people rushed down the slope.

The two quickly got out of the way.

The leader immediately saluted the two of them with clasped fists, and then left gracefully.

"A bunch of samurai...".

Henry said to Winston:

"Do you think they can help me in the future?".

Winston was silent for a long time, and then gave an answer that Henry didn't expect:

"Although it is difficult, it is very possible.".
