The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 286 Happy New Year (New Year Special)

"Did you find it?"

Fang Mu looked at the shadow on the siman and asked Zhang Ji, but Zhang Ji shook his head.

"Our spies in Jiangdong have searched through all the portraits the lord gave us. Even passing dogs lifted their legs to check the male and female, but they still haven't found the person the lord mentioned!"

Zhang Ji shook his head. Although Fang Mu was a little disappointed, he finally nodded.

"Alright, maybe it's really not our destiny yet. You should withdraw after you pick up Zhao Yun!"

Fang Mu hung up the phone and turned to look at Zhuge Liang who was eating and drinking happily with the Five Tiger Generals and others. He couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"It seems that if we want to find Huang Yueying, we really have to rely on this guy!"

……

"President, how are the troops preparing?"

Fang Mu walked to Cao Cao's side and looked at the troops who were constantly training. After a period of training, this army was already able to be used by Cao Cao.

"We're almost ready, how about you?"

Cao Cao looked at Fang Mu, and Fang Mu gave the same answer. Because of the poor geographical location of the people in the Xiliang area, famines often occurred in history. This led to many Xiliang people leaving Xiliang to plunder everywhere. In order to grab more supplies, the Xiliang people were almost always in a state of war readiness.

If Fang Mu had not taken charge of Xiliang and asked Zuo Ci to improve the food varieties in Xiliang, thereby minimizing the possibility of famine, Xiliang might have become another Yellow Turban University long ago!

“It’s getting colder!”

Cao Cao rubbed his hands and looked at the gray sky. It was already the twelfth month without him noticing. He recalled that at the beginning of this year, he was still a small student union president of the Eastern Han Academy. Now he had become the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!

"After the soldiers have celebrated the New Year, we will go to war!"

Fang Mu glanced at the soldiers below. The Spring Festival was approaching and they were about to go to the battlefield. At least they should be able to celebrate the New Year!

"Then do as Brother Fang says!"

……

At this time, Jiangdong, who was far away, was extremely busy.

Since all the members of the Sun family except Sun Quan, Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Shangxiang have disappeared, all affairs now fall into the hands of Sun Quan alone.

"Chen Wu, Chen Wu!"

Sun Quan sat in the principal's chair with piles of documents in front of him, and the pen in his hand was sparking as he wrote. As Sun Quan shouted, a woman in a black leather jacket and a mysterious mask on her face walked out from the shadows of the room.

"Where's Gongjin? Why is school so busy now and I haven't seen him?"

"this…"

Chen Wu hesitated, as if she was weighing the pros and cons. If she told the truth, she might offend Zhou Yu, and offending a smart man was the last thing she wanted to do.

However, if I don’t tell the truth, the person I will offend will be Sun Quan.

"say something!"

Sun Quan threw his pen down suddenly, frightening Chen Wu so much that he trembled and could only speak with gritted teeth.

"Vice President Zhou has been busy looking for someone lately! He's not in school all the time!"

"Looking for someone? Didn't I tell you not to look for Father and Big Brother right now? The New Year is almost over, and we need to prepare for the annual meeting with the various school directors and investors first! Go get him back!"

"Vice President Zhou... Vice President Zhou isn't looking for the principal, the president, or the eldest daughter, but..."

"Why are you hesitating? Hurry up and speak!"

"Vice President Zhou went to...look for Xiao Qiao, and he also...he mobilized the Jiangdong Army!"

"Snapped!"

Sun Quan slammed the documents in his hand to the ground, his face looking very unhappy.

"At such an important time, he actually still cares about these sentimental things!"

Sun Quan roared, "This Zhou Yu is obviously extremely smart, but he always makes mistakes in love. What is the most important thing for a man? Money and power, of course! As long as the shareholders of Jiangdong University are kept happy, then Jiangdong University will get more resources and achieve better development in the future!"

By then, what will you want?

However, Sun Quan still tried to calm down and said to Chen Wu.

"Call him back immediately. If he disobeys, tell him that he will no longer be the vice president of the Jiangdong High School Student Union!"

"Yes!"

Chen Wu respectfully picked up the documents on the ground, placed them on Sun Quan's desk, and turned to leave the principal's office.

Looking at Chen Wu's receding back, Sun Quan opened the drawer in the principal's office, and inside was the military token of the Jiangdong Army - a bronze military token in the shape of a black tortoise.

"Without my orders and military tokens, Zhou Yu was able to mobilize the Jiangdong Army. It seems he has quite a bit of prestige in the army!"

Sun Quan secretly decided to weaken Zhou Yu's influence in the military camp. In the future, Jiangdong must belong to him, Sun Quan, alone!

"Forget it, let him look for it if he wants. After all, even without him, I can carry the banner of Jiangdong on my own!"

Sun Quan thought for a moment, sighed, opened the siman in his hand, sent a message to Chen Wu, then picked up a cup of coffee and walked to the window, looking at the already strong New Year atmosphere.

……

"Hey, hey, hey, don't grab it!"

Ma Chao was holding the dumplings that had just come out of the pot, and Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong rushed over with bowls and chopsticks. Ma Chao couldn't help but use his "Cotton Sweet Fist" to dodge the chopsticks of the two men, and then put the dumplings on the table.

"Chao, you are so disloyal. You actually used martial arts on your brothers!"

Zhang Fei was a little "angry" because he didn't get to eat dumplings, and said with his hands on his hips.

"Alright, my master knows you have a big appetite, so feel free to eat. He's prepared several pots of dumplings today, so you're sure to be full!"

Ma Chao patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder, then returned to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"I didn't expect Fang Mu to consider the customs of a southerner like me. I'm so touched!"

Zhuge Liang was holding a bowl of glutinous rice balls in his hand. He scooped one with a spoon and put it into his mouth, but he was burned and tears came out of his eyes.

"I didn't expect Brother Fang's cooking skills to be so good. It seems I have to learn from him. After all, Guan Yu only learned for a week and he was able to win over Diao Chan. If I learn for a longer period of time, wouldn't I be able to..."

Cao Cao stopped talking halfway, and his brothers immediately became unhappy and chased after him to ask who he liked.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"

Cao Cao smiled awkwardly, but his hands were in a panic as he kept "scooping" soup into the bowl with his chopsticks.

"A Chang, I wish you a happy new year!"

"Thank you, Diao Chan. This... is a red envelope for you!"

"Huh? The red envelope...why isn't it red?"

Guan Yu blushed instantly, then covered his face with the wallet, and then the color of the red envelope became extremely bright!
