I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1922 - 1924: Lost My Temper and Couldn’t Control Myself

Chapter 1922: Chapter 1924: Lost My Temper and Couldn’t Control Myself
Cai Mao and Wang Can exchanged a glance, your words and actions had completely shattered the impression they had of you. Especially Cai Mao, upon confirming that the person in front of him was you, he even planned to return and select a few beautiful women to serve you, because all of the Nine Provinces were spreading the rumor that your seven beauties were so captivating that everyone inferred you were as fond of women as Cao Cao himself.
Who would have thought that after hearing the name Cai Zhaoji, you not only had no desire, but instead focused on the person who saved Cai Zhaoji from Chang’an.
Wang Can smiled and said, "This person is named Liu Xi, a man well-versed in learning and traveling the world, and is a close friend of Cai Yong."
"Traveling the world?" you frowned unconsciously upon hearing this, "A scholar has such capabilities?"
Cai Mao continued, "I heard that when Liu Xi was young, he studied martial arts with a Wandering Taoist Priest and his swordsmanship was exceptional, extraordinary."
Only then did you nod, "Where is Liu Xi now?"
Wang Can also looked at Cai Mao, because he had only heard of Liu Xi by name, but had never met him.
"He should be in Jingzhou City, I heard he will be heading south to Jiaozhou in a few days."
Wang Can was surprised and said, "Why is that? That Mr. Liu is very well-received in Jingzhou."
Cai Mao also shook his head.
You seemed to have figured out something, and said in a deep voice, "If I am not mistaken, this Liu Xi is a man of great ability, he probably already calculated that Jingzhou would be affected by war, so he decided to head south to Jiaozhou to take refuge."
Cai Mao was instantly filled with shock, staring at you, his voice trembling slightly: "Could it be Yuan Shu?"
"Well, it’s hard to say, Jingzhou has always been prosperous, although Liu Biao has no ambition for conquest, it doesn’t mean others won’t extend their claws towards Jingzhou. Hey, to put it bluntly, if I switched positions with Yuan Shu, I would probably have an army of two hundred thousand in Jingzhou by now."
At these words, Cai Mao was even more unsettled, he got up and was about to leave, but you stopped him, "Do you think that telling Liu Biao now would make him believe you?"
Cai Mao paused and sat back in his seat, letting out a long sigh.
Wang Can did not dare to speak at this moment, as he knew it was your time.
You fixed your gaze on Cai Mao, "What kind of person is Liu Biao? I think you, as his brother-in-law, know better than anyone. If he had any ambition for conquest, he would have already sent troops to seize Luling and Yuzhang of Yang Province. Right now, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian and his son are in a heated battle. If I were Liu Biao, I would definitely stab Yuan Shu in the back, hehe. Of course, I also wanted to do that, but unfortunately, Sun Ce is my junior disciple, and since he asked me for a favor, it’s not appropriate for me to get involved."
Cai Mao looked at you intently, wanting to say something but holding back, then let out a long sigh.
You naturally knew what Cai Mao wanted to say but didn’t. Cai Mao’s dilemma was clear to you, he wanted to draw you into Jingzhou, but with your methods, Jingzhou’s nobles would be in chaos, and the Cai Family could be affected, he couldn’t take that risk.
Even knowing this, you did not persuade Cai Mao, as it was not the right time. The waters of Jingzhou run deep, and for now, you did not have the strength to get involved.
"However, Jingzhou should be safe for a short period, as neither Cao Cao from Yan Province nor Yuan Shu from Nanyang currently has the opportunity," you concluded and then focused on your meal.
Cai Mao and Wang Can exchanged glances, communicating subtly before forcing themselves to smile and drink.
After eating and drinking, you asked Cai Mao: "De Gui, I want to ask you about someone."
"Please go ahead, General." Cai Mao still respected you greatly, although not as excessively as Wang Can.
"Have you heard of a descendant of Lu Ban in Jingzhou City?" you asked directly.
Cai Mao nodded, "There was such a person, but unfortunately, he passed away due to a serious illness a couple of years ago."
"What!?" you slammed the table, your dark force strong enough to shatter the entire table. The soup bowls spilled all over as your fury also stunned Wang Can and Cai Mao, "He’s dead, how could he just die like that! I traveled a thousand miles to find this bastard, and he dares to die!"
At this moment, an intense killing intent swirled around like a tornado, filling the entire room. Wang Can and Cai Mao, caught in the whirlwind of murderous aura, turned pale. Although Cai Mao was a Military General, in front of you, he felt as insignificant as an ant, as if you could crush him with a mere flick of your fingers.
However, Cai Mao, who had also experienced life and death, quickly asked, "Why are you looking for this person, General?"
"A ship! I need a ship!" At this moment, you were like a ferocious beast, instilling terror in both body and mind.
"As for ships, I have many, and I could give the General a few."
You turned to Cai Mao, suddenly recalling that as Naval General, Cai Mao must have information on ships similar to the Emperor Yu.
Your figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye, you were already in front of Cai Mao, lifting him up and looking him straight in the eye, "Do you have the Emperor Yu?"
"The Emperor Yu?" Cai Mao swallowed nervously. Such a colossal battleship had no use even in Jingzhou, how could he have one? However, Cai Mao dared not answer in this way, considering your current state; he might be torn apart just for speaking, "I don’t have the Emperor Yu, but Jingzhou does have a replica created by descendants, although half the size, the craftsmanship is identical."
"Oh? Where is that battleship?"
Upon hearing this, you were delighted as it was the best news you had received recently.
"My sister holds it, but she set sail for Yiyang a few days ago. It will take about a month before she returns to Jingzhou City."
Upon hearing that the battleship was in Liu Biao’s wife’s hands, you felt a sense of testicular distress realizing that direct seizing might not be feasible. You put down Cai Mao, patted his shoulder, and laughed, "Sorry, I lost my temper for a moment, couldn’t control it."
Afraid to blame you, Cai Mao hastily assured it was fine, while Wang Can timely intervened to ease the tensions among the three.
Not long after, Cai Mao left, and you returned to your room to rest, leaving only Wang Can too excited to sleep all night.
Returning home, Cai Mao dismissed the servants, sitting alone in his study, deeply pondering. This was probably the most troubled night since Cai Mao came of age. His mind was in constant turmoil as he struggled with unclear goals and uncertain positioning.
