Ouyang Shuo returned to the Lord's Manor and prepared himself to meet a special guest—Zhao Kuo, who they currently held in the Lord's Manor. They currently held him in a courtyard that people rarely visited, a place at a corner of the manor.
When Ouyang Shuo entered, Zhao Kuo was drinking in the patio; his beard currently in a mess.
After he experienced failure in the Battle of Lianzhou, Zhao Kuo seemed older and sadder. He did not look as handsome and as confident as before.
A hero's heart had totally fallen into the abyss.
When he saw Ouyang Shuo, Zhao Kuo held the wine flask and walked over. He was drunk, and his voice was hoarse, “Lianzhou Lord?" His voice contained a tinge of teasing and a sense of giving up.
Currently, Zhao Kuo was a man that lacked purpose and will.
"That's right!"
Ouyang Shuo did not care. He sat down on the stone seat and looked over at Zhao Kuo.
