"You recognize me?!"
Hou Jue looked at the effeminate man before him with wariness, his body slightly bowed.
"Of course."
With a smile on his face, Zhang Suohao spoke, "At that banquet years ago, Brother Hou's scathing criticism of General Fei's brashness still rings in my ears. And your demeanor, Brother Hou, is vivid in my memory."
Hou Jue was initially startled, then his heart sank. He knew that his plan to infiltrate undercover had ended before it had even begun.
"So, what do you want from me?"
Frowning, Hou Jue asked in a deep voice.
"Simple."
Zhang Suohao chuckled as he looked at Hou Jue, his tone carrying a faint arrogance, "After offending General Fei, you concealed your identity and snuck into Beiliang to become a mere Defense Army Captain, hoping to make a comeback, correct?"
Hou Jue remained silent, still watching Zhang Suohao warily.
"Brother Hou, don't you think that this world is unfair?"
