Murong Zirui hurriedly stepped forward, asking with a smile, "Eunuch Wu, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Upon hearing the voice, Eunuch Wu stopped his hurried steps, took a few breaths, and replied, "Oh, it's the strategist! I was just about to go and pay my respects to the lord."
Murong Zirui looked closely and realized that Eunuch Wu had changed into a brand new and clean set of clothes.
So he joked, "Oh my, Eunuch Wu, you've even changed your clothes! That's quite a grand ceremony!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wu smiled slightly and replied, "When meeting His Majesty, I would naturally not dare to be negligent or careless in the slightest."
As soon as he finished speaking, he prepared to continue walking forward.
Upon seeing this, Murong Zirui quickly reached out and grabbed Eunuch Wu.
Wu Gonggong was somewhat confused by this sudden action and turned to look at Murong Zirui, who was tightly gripping his arm, with a puzzled expression.
Murong Zirui realized his actions were somewhat rash and quickly released his grip, explaining, "Oh dear, Eunuch Wu, please don't be offended! It's like this, His Majesty and the Empress are returning from their journey and said they were too tired, so they've gone to rest. In my opinion, why don't you wait until they've woken up before paying your respects? That way, you won't disturb His Majesty, will you?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wu nodded in sudden realization and said, "Thank you for the reminder, strategist. If you hadn't informed me in time, I would have almost offended the lord. Alright, I'll come back later."
After saying that, he turned around and left with light steps.
Murong Zirui's lips curled up slightly, his smile as cunning as a fox, making it difficult to discern his true intentions.
He said softly, "Eunuch Wu, you seem to have some free time right now, why don't you come with me to visit those wounded soldiers? It would be a way to express the Emperor and the General's concern."
Wu Gonggong was originally thinking of refusing, but after hearing the second half of Murong Zirui's words, he couldn't help but feel that there seemed to be some truth to it.
After a moment's hesitation, he nodded and replied, "Alright, then I'll go with you as Strategist Murong suggests."
After saying that, the two walked side by side.
At this moment, Murong Zirui secretly made a gesture with his right hand behind his back, as if he had successfully accomplished something.
All of this naturally did not escape the eyes of the guards standing to the side. Watching Murong Zirui's little actions, they thought to themselves, "Our resourceful strategist is probably just fooling people again."
