[ Zhang Liao hesitates slightly; Chen Gong is not his usual self. Irritation is an ugly emotion but its sound rings worse when it's heard from those who rarely wield it.
The strategist's impatience, and Zhang Liao's uneasiness...and the tension in the castle...they all essentially had the same source. And as much as he tries to quash his inner thoughts, it is both honor and reason that have led him here to Chen Gong's room. He cannot leave, as much as he wants to. Not if he is to enter what might be his last battle tomorrow.
He bows his head and salutes Chen Gong sharply, respectful and polite as always. ]
Forgive me. I would rather not interrupt, but I seek your counsel and your advice for tomorrow's battle. Your wisdom and insight has proven useful in the past, and I would be humbly grateful if you could spare me a few moments of your time, Master Chen Gong.
