Lu Li's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said, "Brother Mengde, I would like to invite you to lead troops to attack Dong Zhuo together. Is that alright?"

As soon as Lu Li finished speaking, Cao Cao's face turned cold instantly, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he stared straight at Lu Li and said, "Mr. Lu, are you joking?"

“I’m not joking, I’m seriously inviting Brother Mengde,” Lu Li said calmly.

Cao Cao's face twitched, and he said, "Mr. Lu, although we have gone through thick and thin together, you have now joined the Yellow Turban Army. Dong Zhuo is, after all, the Chancellor of the Han Dynasty. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to invite me to join you in attacking Dong Zhuo?"

"Fine, then pretend I didn't say anything." Lu Li sighed, shook his head, and made as if to turn and leave.

"Wait!" Cao Cao's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Oh? Brother Mengde, have you changed your mind?" Lu Li turned to look at Cao Cao, his face full of smiles.

Cao Cao's face twitched, and he slowly said, "Since you've come, sir, I, Cao Cao, should extend the hospitality of a host. If you don't mind, why don't you stay for lunch before you leave?"

Lu Li laughed and said, "Alright! Then I'll gladly accept your offer."

At this moment, Cao Cao's face twitched again. He was just being polite, but who knew that Lu Li would actually stay?

"It's good, though. I'll take this opportunity to probe his background and see what this guy is up to!" Cao Cao secretly decided.

"Mr. Lu, please!" Cao Cao gestured for him to enter and then led Lu Li toward the living room.
