Chapter 172

Wang Yun was quite righteous; if Liu Bei hadn't known the history of this guy, he would have almost believed it!

After Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, he became increasingly arrogant and complacent, becoming a powerful minister himself, but he didn't have the ability to control the Xiliang generals, and was forced to jump off the city gate and die!

Liu Bei held Diao Chan's hand,

"Minister, Diao Chan and I are in love and mutually attracted; I hope the Minister will fulfill our wish."

Wang Yun cursed secretly; what was meant to come was coming!

Diao Chan's face turned red, but she didn't pull her hand away from Liu Bei; in her heart, there was anticipation, excitement, and fear!

530 The broadcast room also exploded,

"Big-Eared Thief is awesome; he's already made his move!"

"Miss Diao Chan's expectant and conflicted expression is beautiful!"

"Wang Yun, you old rascal, wanting to sacrifice Diao Chan—should a beauty have a thin fate?!"

"This time I support the Big-Eared Thief; it's a pity I can't go there in person!"

Wang Yun coughed; Liu Bei was even fiercer than Lu Bu, so naturally he couldn't fight him, and could only suppress him with righteousness!

"Xuande, I know you have always been loyal and righteous, and I won't hide it from you; I have great use for Diao Chan, Lu Bu..."

Wang Yun wanted to say more, but Liu Bei interrupted him,

"Minister, Diao Chan is a weak woman; has our Great Han actually fallen to the point of needing to sacrifice a weak woman?"

"Are all the civil and military officials and countless generals useless? Need a woman to sacrifice herself?!"

"When I assassinated Dong, I never thought about letting someone else take my place!"

Liu Bei spoke with great force, and Diao Chan was naturally moved to tears.

Wang Yun also couldn't help but blush; this matter was indeed not very honorable, but it was a pity that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired!

"Xuande, in the time of the Great Han's crisis, I don't want to either... but"

Liu Bei was furious; was Wang Yun's heart this small? Just staring at Diao Chan?!

He coughed and pulled out the Seven-Star Precious Sword from his waist!

Wang Yun was shocked; this Liu Xuande wasn't enough with words, he wanted to use force!

"Xuande, don't be excited."

Liu Bei smiled,

"Minister, I'm not excited, I just want to give this precious sword to you; this Seven-Star Precious Sword is the sharp weapon I used to assassinate Dong!"

Wang Yun gave a start; wasn't this the one he gave to Cao Cao,

"If Dong Zhuo sees this Seven-Star Precious Sword, won't he tear me apart!"

Liu Bei continued to smile,

"Cao Cao originally assassinated Dong Zhuo under the guise of offering the sword; to tell you the truth, this precious sword is truly sharp, and I don't know where Cao Cao got it."

Wang Yun's heart gave another jolt!

"That night, I met Diao Chan in the backyard, and we chatted very happily."

Diao Chan's neck turned red; why was he talking about this again!

Liu Bei held Diao Chan's hand and laughed,

"When I just came out, I happened to see Meng De and the Minister, and Meng De also seemed to have..."

Wang Yun hurriedly waved his hand and interjected,

"Xuande, what did you just say?"

"Cao Cao assassinated Dong..."

"No, the sentence before that!"

Liu Bei understood,

"Diao Chan and I are in love and mutually attracted; I hope the Minister will fulfill our wish."

Wang Yun laughed loudly,

"Haha, I have always treated Diao Chan as my own daughter; now that she has a world-renowned hero like Xuande, who is both civil and martial and treats Diao Chan well, I am very satisfied!"

"Very satisfied!"

Diao Chan: "???"

She was completely bewildered, her little face full of confusion, her thirst for knowledge extremely strong!

She vaguely guessed, but didn't dare to be sure.

Liu Bei squeezed Diao Chan's hand, signaling to talk in detail later,

"Minister, I think so too; is this matter settled?"

Wang Yun nodded firmly,

"It must be settled!"

"Diao Chan, from now on you will follow Xuande and live a good life."

Diao Chan bowed deeply,

"Thank you, Foster Father, for fulfilling our wish; thank you for your grace in raising me."

Liu Bei said in a low voice,

"Minister, rest assured, the children of the Taiyuan Wang clan are all very excellent; I will reuse them."

Wang Yun nodded; actually, this Liu Bei was not bad.

The two discussed it for a while,

and Wang Yun suddenly left with his servants, cursing and swearing; it seemed he had been taken advantage of by Liu Bei!

Liu Bei curled his lips,

"Old rascal, it's a pity you didn't go into acting!"

Diao Chan: "???"

"Lord Liu, what exactly is going on? Foster Father even asked me to perform the Chain Scheme yesterday..."

Liu Bei looked at Diao Chan's delicate and dripping face, holding her soft and slender hand,

"Want to know? Call me husband and let me hear it."

Diao Chan pouted and rolled her eyes beautifully,

"Hmph, so the world-renowned Liu Xuande is actually a lecher who bullies weak women!"

Liu Bei laughed loudly,

"Alright, wait until we return to Anyi, and we will talk in detail in front of the candles; rest assured, I won't make you cry."

Diao Chan knew Liu Bei had serious business to do, so she very obediently took her maid and didn't disturb Liu Bei; she felt beautiful in her heart, thinking about her future life made her happy!

Liu Bei let Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Liao reorganize the surrendered troops while organizing the commoners to march toward the Maojin Ferry,

"Fellow villagers, I have prepared houses for the winter in Hedong and Taiyuan, and prepared grain; everyone go there to spend the winter first."

Liu Bei soothed the many Luoyang commoners, letting them go to Hedong with peace of mind.

The Luoyang commoners were originally worried; Luoyang had already been burned, they couldn't go to Changancheng, and they had deeply experienced how brutal Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers were!

These people were just worried about having nowhere to go, and Liu Bei had sent them a pillow—how could they not be moved?

Tens of thousands of commoners were all speaking of Liu Bei's goodness,

and many commoners said to Diao Chan,

"Miss, your husband, Inspector Liu, is truly a great man."

"I say Inspector Liu is the best person in the whole Great Han!"

"And also the most valiant person!"

Diao Chan thanked them while feeling beautiful in her heart; she had a feeling of running from hell to heaven!

Many people in the broadcast room were also sighing,

"Liu Bei did the right thing this time!"

"I see Cao Cao talking about the Great Han, but he doesn't care about the people at all."

"He is a member of the scholar-official class, high and mighty; naturally, he is not like Liu Bei toward the people."

"Not just Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, and even those like Tao Qian who claim to be very good to the people—who has truly treated the people well!"

"Liu Bei rose from the grassroots; his subordinates Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zilong, Guo Jia, Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Hao Zhao, etc., all don't have high backgrounds; Zhang Liao and Jia Kui also had their families fall into decline; perhaps they can walk out of a different world!"

"Big-Eared Thief, we all support you!"

Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to lead five thousand troops to charge again; if they encountered a large group of enemies, they shouldn't fight hard, but if they encountered Dong Zhuo's convoy transporting the imperial tomb's wealth, they should intercept it all! ===== CHAPTER 173 =====
