Chapter 13

~6 min read 1,021 words

Hua Mulan and Bai Yuekui finally figured it out,

Liu Bei already planned to recruit soldiers and buy horses with the two 'peerless fierce generals' he had just recruited!

Hua Mulan reminded,

"Captain, we only have ten kilograms of gold; we can't recruit too many troops, can't forge many weapons, and still have to buy horses, so spend it sparingly."

Liu Bei waved his hand, indicating she didn't need to worry; the money had already been arranged!

Hua Mulan... "If I didn't know you brought a few pounds of potatoes, I would have almost believed you."

At the city gate,

Hua Mulan was already doubting life,

Zhang Fei opened several boxes, which were piled full of Wu Zhu coins, as well as many gold and silver items,

"Big brother, this is all my money; I sold the pork shop, and I sold the manor too!"

Bai Yuekui couldn't figure it out; this Liu Bei went out for a trip and not only tricked two big men,

but this Zhang Fei actually joined the group with his own capital!

She observed Zhang Fei's appearance,

"Hmm, this one seems to make sense too!"

Liu Bei was moved to tears,

"Third brother, big brother is ashamed to accept this!"

Zhang Fei stomped his feet,

"Big brother, don't be so long-winded; take it all. If you don't take it, you're looking down on me!"

What could Liu Bei do? He couldn't beat Zhang Fei, so he could only let Hua Mulan collect the money first.

Netizens in the live broadcast room collapsed,

"Holy crap, holy crap!"

"Zhang Fei has been completely PUA'd."

"Not taking his money is looking down on him? Give me a dozen brothers like this!"

"Poor Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan, both are completely confused!"

At the city gate, the matter of Zhang Fei giving money attracted many onlookers,

Seeing the timing was just right, Liu Bei

stood on a high platform,

"Everyone, listen to me,"

"I am a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan of the Western Han Dynasty, the eighteenth-generation grandson of Emperor Jing. Now the imperial court is powerless, the Yellow Turbans are rampant, and the people are suffering..."

The opening statement instantly stunned everyone!

"Imperial relatives!"

"I didn't expect Liu Bei's birth to be so impressive!"

Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan exchanged a glance; this identity seemed quite useful!

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu looked excitedly at Liu Bei, who was speaking eloquently on the stage, and felt they hadn't chosen wrong!

Liu Bei gave a passionate speech on the stage, tears flowing involuntarily, moving the people below the stage to tears!

"Good, I want to join the army!"

"I want to be loyal to Liu Xuande and kill the Yellow Turban Army!"

"I want to build merit!"

"Following the royal family means having meat to eat!"

The ruffians, unemployed people, and those who wanted to build merit in the city signed up to join the army one after another,

Bai Yuekui and Hua Mulan were already too busy to handle it,

"I didn't expect his appeal to be so great!"

Two horse merchants below the stage exchanged a glance, feeling that this Liu Bei seemed quite promising,

The two found Liu Bei and cupped their hands,

"Zhongshan horse merchants Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang meet Brother Liu!"

Liu Bei felt a jolt in his heart; another two lovely angel investors?

He quickly chatted with the two, and within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn,

the two were already incomparably admiring of Liu Bei; his far-sighted vision and compassionate temperament instantly conquered them!

"Brother Liu, you must accept these thousand gold items, and the one hundred horses we brought!"

Su Shuang added,

"We also have a thousand pounds of iron, Brother Liu, take it to forge weapons for the soldiers."

Bai Yuekui, who was registering the names over there, was numb,

"Just squeezed Zhang Fei dry, and now two more merchants have thrown themselves into the net?"

Hua Mulan...

Liu Bei sighed and firmly waved his hand,

"Two brothers, coming from Zhongshan, working hard in business, earning hard-earned money—how can I take your wealth?"

Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang were instantly angry and raised their voices,

"Brother Liu, are you looking down on us?!"

"This is all hard-earned money, not black-hearted money; rest assured and accept it. If you don't accept it, you're looking down on us!"

What could Liu Bei do? Seeing the two merchants rolling up their sleeves as if they wanted to fight, he couldn't necessarily beat them, so he could only let Hua Mulan accept the money, horses, and refined iron.

Zhang Fei slapped his leg hard,

"Big brother is truly destined by heaven!"

"By the way, my Zhang family still has dozens of acres of ancestral land in the countryside; I must sell it today!"

He was even more convinced of his decision to scatter his family fortune!

Zhang Fei mounted his horse and rushed out of the city in a flurry!

Guan Yu clenched his fists and let out a long sigh,

"I only regret that I have no money to help big brother; I can only train the soldiers desperately, kill the enemy on the battlefield, and repay big brother's kindness in recognizing me!"

Live broadcast room,

"Everyone, I'm already numb!"

"Zhang Fei is truly a clever ghost; he PUA'd himself!"

"Liu Bei is too ruthless; even telecom fraud wouldn't take everything in one go!"

"Red-faced Guan Yu is about to be rolled to death by Zhang Fei!"

"Liu Bei started with a few pounds of potatoes, and by relying on his face and mouth, he directly tricked so much money and troops?"

"Are the ancients so easy to trick?"

"Does Liu Bei have the so-called 'aura of a king'? Destined by heaven?"

"Forget it, the US Captain and Hawkeye next door have already killed many Yellow Turban soldiers!"

"Miyamoto beat up a few ruffians and won Yuan Shao's appreciation."

"India's Baahubali, under the command of Zhang Ji, the uncle of the Northland Spear King Zhang Xiu, is also shining brightly and can compare with Hu Cheer."
