Chapter 233 Another Month Has Come

It was already late at night when they arrived in Jingzhou. As time did not allow, after a bland conversation, Wang Yao went home to accompany Luna.

As for Zhuge Liang, he also returned to his headquarters' military camp. He had to deal with seemingly endless official duties. It was not easy to be a military advisor. Although he looked bright and handsome, second only to the emperor, he was actually busy like a dog all day long, and he had little time to rest.

At least if Wang Yao were to choose, he would rather be like this now. Although he doesn't have much power, he is more relaxed. After all, in such a cold night, it is much better to go home and hug a warm girl than to be with a pile of cold bamboo slips, right?
On the second day, a piece of big news, "Wang Yao, the former captain of the seventh main force of the Shanglu Legion, was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the legion," was spread throughout Jingzhou in the Canyon Gazette, a "weekly" newspaper. It quickly caused a great sensation throughout the Shu Kingdom.

People both inside and outside the country gave mixed reviews to this result, with the most intense conflict and verbal battle between the legion soldiers and the civilians of Jingzhou.

"Why can this little soldier be promoted to the general commander of the legion?"

"That's right. Not long ago, he killed so many people because of his vanity!"

"Don't say that. Wang Yao often comes to the market to buy food. He is very close to us old men and women. He is a very good person."

"He was the one who killed my husband!"

"Could it be that he bribed the higher-ups in private?"

"Shut up! What qualifications do a bunch of civilians who haven't even been to the Canyon Battlefield have to criticize that adult?!"

"You have no idea what a legendary figure that gentleman is!"

As a popular figure at the center of the storm, under Luna's joyful persuasion, Wang Yao not only invited Wang Ping, Wei Yan, Jiang Wei, Fei Yi and a dozen other centurions or soldiers with whom he was on good terms to have a small celebration, but other than that, he was dismissive of all kinds of comments from the outside world.

After all, no gold is pure, and no one is perfect.

As he gained more experience, Wang Yao gradually began to understand a truth: there are a hundred opinions for a hundred kinds of people, and you can't satisfy everyone because not all people are human.

On the third day, at Zhuge Liang's request, Wang Yao began arduous adaptation training in the secret Wolonggang. In fact, it can't be said to be arduous, because the main training program is to constantly switch to the 'hero form' and let the body adapt to the power of fire as quickly as possible.

Just like that, before I knew it, a month had passed.

During this period, Wang Yao finally began to adapt to the heroic form, and accompanied by Zhuge Liang, he began to practice martial arts with Zhuge Liang at regular times every day. With Zhuge Liang's guidance, Wang Yao's physical skills became more and more sophisticated. In the end, in a short period of time, he was able to fight Zhuge Liang with physical skills alone.

With the hard training, Wang Yao's appetite has also increased a lot. At least now, for every meal, he has to eat the amount of three or four ordinary people. There is no other way. After all, physical strength determines the release time of the hero form. In order to maximize physical strength, you can't eat less.

Of course, as the closest person, although Luna is usually a little slow, she can still see the changes in Wang Yao.

At lunch that day, the girl looked at the rice pot that was almost empty, and seemed to think for a moment before she asked in a low voice, "Ayao, what happened recently? You go out early and come back late every day, and you seem to eat more and more. Also, why do I often see you with the military advisor? In the past, you would even avoid him when you met him on the street."

Wang Yao, who was eating his rice diligently, raised his head from the bowl and looked at Luna, who had become more and more beautiful and rosy in the past month. He couldn't help but smile and joked, "Why? Are you still worried that I have a gay relationship with that guy? You know that I always hand in my homework on time no matter how late I come home every day."

Luna blushed slightly, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Wang Yao who was laughing non-stop, and said, "What? I just felt that the military advisor hadn't trained with me for a month, so it was a little strange. I'm definitely not imagining that you two have an abnormal relationship or something like that..."

Wang Yao looked at the girl with amusement, who would start rubbing the hem of her skirt nervously whenever she lied. He did not speak, but handed Luna the Canyon Gazette placed beside the dining table. On it was written in huge black characters a headline: "On the current ranking of the Moonlight Girl who crushed the Peerless Demon on the Wei Highlands in terms of combat power among the Three Kingdoms."

"You are now famous, and your Moonlit Infinite Combat is almost praised to the sky by the soldiers. Why do you still need training?"

"Then what do you and the military advisor do all day long?"

Looking at Luna's extremely serious eyes, Wang Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If he didn't explain clearly, this girl might really think that there was some ambiguous relationship between him and Zhuge Liang.

Although Zhuge Liang said that the hero's deeds could not be made public for the time being, considering that Luna was the person closest to him, there was no point in hiding it any longer, so Wang Yao simply said, "I went to special training with the military advisor, because I can now freely switch between the two forms."

"What's perverted?" Unexpectedly, when Luna opened her mouth, her weird ability to summarize was exactly the same as Zhuge Liang's.

(￢_￢)
Wang Yao's mouth twitched, and he almost spit out a mouthful of rice. But looking at Luna's watery eyes and innocent face, he couldn't lose his temper, so he said helplessly: "Sister, the word pervert is actually a very heavy derogatory word. In a sense, you can't say that about your future husband."

Luna blinked in confusion, seemingly not quite understanding what Wang Yao was trying to express.

Wang Yao patiently explained: "In short, although it is still a secret that cannot be made public, I have indeed become a British."

Before he finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly came from the doorway. "General Yao!"

They saw a fully armed soldier standing at their door. After respectfully performing a standard military salute, he spoke in a loud voice.

"Master Military Advisor, please come to the meeting room with Lady Luna to discuss important military affairs!"

The so-called conference hall, as the name suggests, is the place where the Shu Kingdom's top leaders discuss important military and national affairs. Normally, only those powerful Shu Kingdom heroes and a very small number of individual military and political personnel can participate. But because Wang Yao is now the governor-general of three armies, he is also qualified to participate in the meeting. Of course, this is also his first time to participate in such a parliament.

Following Luna, who was familiar with the place because she often attended parliamentary meetings, they came to the meeting hall with a gloomy and solemn atmosphere, chatting and laughing. Wang Yao discovered that in the center of the hall, facing the door, there was a long table. In addition to the obviously more high-end chair at the top, there were eight chairs on each side of the long table, and Zhuge Liang was sitting on the first chair on the left.

For the time being, Zhuge Liang was the only one in the entire hall sitting there with his eyes closed and resting.

"Military Advisor." Luna greeted Zhuge Liang politely, and then sat down on the seat across from him. Wang Yao just yawned, pretending not to see her, but he also picked a seat on the left, sitting right between Zhuge Liang and Luna.

"Uh, Ayao, this is your uncle's seat. I won't be responsible if you get scolded later." Luna reminded in a low voice.

"It's okay. It's not like I haven't been scolded by my uncle before. Can he just throw me out?" Wang Yao bared his teeth at Luna with an indifferent look on his face.

At this time, Zhuge Liang said calmly: "After discussing military affairs, I still have things to do. The special training in the afternoon is temporarily cancelled. You can take a day off."

Wang Yao leaned on the table with his chin propped up and nodded: "Okay, so what happened?"

Zhuge Liang said, "You will know in a moment."

Wang Yao, who was used to Zhuge Liang's strange temper, did not ask any more questions. Instead, he turned to Luna beside him and said with a smile: "Girl, how about I take you to the market this afternoon?"

"Okay! You haven't taken me out for a walk in the past month."

Just as Wang Yao and Luna were whispering and laughing, a slight tremor suddenly shook the entire hall, as if some huge monster in the distance outside the house was approaching here step by step.

"Chengdu is my home, Dad is the greatest~!"

Along with a familiar childish voice, the door was pushed open with a bang. Several burly figures, reflected by the sunlight outside, cast huge shadows into the house. The whole room was dimmed in an instant, and an invisible pressure came towards them!

There are the NPC Liu Chan, the righteous Guan Yu, the old-fashioned Huang Zhong, Li Ping who is in charge of the logistics and finance of Shu Kingdom, and the big guy Zhang who always has a sour face as if everyone in the world owes him money.

"Military Advisor." After entering the room, Guan Yu politely greeted Zhuge Liang, then turned around and pinched Wang Yao's face, ignoring the pain that made his eyes water with tears, and smiled proudly, "Boy, it's not easy. In less than a year, you have climbed all the way to the top. Well! You are indeed a promising young man, and I didn't make a mistake about you, second brother! How about it? Do you have time in the afternoon to accompany you to the martial arts arena to practice?"

Wang Yao, who had been traumatized by this, turned pale and shook his head when he heard this: "Sorry, second brother, I have to go shopping with my sister this afternoon!"

Just kidding, when I was young and ignorant, it was also in the arena. Guan Yu just rode his horse and charged with a sword, and almost split the entire arena in two! At that time, there were no less than three digits of soldiers who were scared to death by Guan Yu's earth-shattering sword. To practice with him? Isn't that like hitting a fly on a tiger's head - looking for death!

On the side, Huang Zhong saw that Wang Yao had secretly sat in his usual seat. The hot-tempered old man originally raised his fist and wanted to "care" for this young man together with Guan Yu. However, when he saw Luna next to him looking at him pitifully with pleading eyes, his heart softened immediately. He snorted and sat down on the last chair on the left without saying a word.

Afterwards, everyone took their seats one by one.

Except for Liu Chan who sat on the more gorgeous chair at the top, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Li Ping sat on the right side of the long table, while Zhuge Liang, Wang Yao, Luna, and Huang Zhong sat on the left side.

Looking at the table full of heroes full of vigor and vitality, Wang Yao unconsciously became serious under the influence of the solemn atmosphere.

You have to know that the people sitting around this round table are the top figures of the Shu Kingdom who are in charge of the entire country!
only.
Looking thoughtfully at the empty seat next to Li Ping, Wang Yao couldn't help but wonder, is that seat for the guy called 'Yuan Ge'?
Just as Wang Yao was still guessing, he saw that everyone had taken their seats and Zhuge Liang had already stood up first.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started. I won't say any more unnecessary words. I called you all here today mainly to discuss matters concerning the lord."

　Damn, it's really hard to write with too many characters appearing at once. It's too difficult to take care of each of them.

　　I am very grateful for the 2000+2000+500+500 reward from '总忘' on Qidian. I also congratulate him on his promotion to elder. It's not easy to write, please vote.
