Chapter 189

"Brother Ma's sons and nephews are also heroes among the youth. Not bad, not bad!"

Ma Teng laughed loudly,

"Ma Chao, come quickly and toast Lord Liu Xuande!"

The few hurriedly stood up and showed their faces before Liu Bei!

Liu Bei encouraged them a few words, making them feel inspired.

Liu Bei looked at a corner of the hall again, where a pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be peeking at him, flashing away.

He drank several more rounds of wine with Ma Teng,

And walked swaying out of the hall.

The live broadcast room was instantly filled with exclamation marks,

"Ma Teng, your backyard is about to catch fire!"

"Liu Bei was scared just now; he thought of Ma Teng as a father-in-law, but Ma Teng actually wanted to be his brother. No eye for detail!"

"That big-eared thief steals the house every time he goes to someone else's place to drink!"

"That big-eared thief came here with a mission; he must take Ma Ma Yunlu!"

"Hard to guard against; Lu Bu held a banquet outside the city and still had his house stolen."

"Ma Chao and the others are quite handsome; his sister shouldn't be bad either."

Liu Bei hadn't even left the hall before he was discovered by Ma Chao.

Guo Jia was quick-witted and signaled Zhang Fei to intercept the person.

Zhang Fei laughed loudly,

"Ma Mengqi, I heard from the people of Liangzhou that you have great strength? I don't quite believe it!"

Ma Chao??

"Zhang Zhang Yide, right? Come, come, let's compare strength!"

The two instantly began to compete in strength.

Guo Jia secretly thought,

"My Lord, we can only help you this much."

Jia Xu also pulled Ma Teng to reminisce about the past and think about old events in Liangzhou.

Liu Bei left the hall and turned to walk in the direction where the girl had flashed earlier.

Just as he reached the back courtyard,

A tall, long-legged girl with a great figure, dressed in military attire and looking heroic, blocked his path.

"Lord Liu Xuande, I am Ma Teng's daughter, Ma Ma Yunlu."

Liu Bei looked at Ma Ma Yunlu—high nose bridge, big eyes, deep eye sockets, bright and charming, with a very exotic beauty feel.

"I didn't expect this Ma Ma Yunlu to be a mixed-race girl? Ma Teng's mother and wife were both Qiang, so this is possible."

Ma Ma Yunlu was also looking at Liu Bei,

"Is this the great hero who shook the world? Indeed, he has a unique temperament and is so handsome!"

Liu Bei smiled,

"I have disturbed you, Miss, please forgive me."

Ma Ma Yunlu gave a charming smile, her eyes large and lively,

"Lord Liu Xuande, you didn't disturb me."

She looked around and whispered,

"Lord Liu Xuande, you should leave Didao early."

Liu Bei's heart stirred; he imitated Ma Ma Yunlu's manner, looked around, and whispered,

"Why does Miss Ma say that?"

Ma Yun06lu pouted,

"Lord Liu Xuande, what time is it, and you're still imitating me..."

She whispered even more softly,

"I heard my father say last night that Han Sui has gathered the King of Western Qiang, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, and others, totaling eighty thousand troops, and is coming to Longxi Commandery!"

Liu Bei secretly laughed; it turned out that Ma Teng's little cotton-padded jacket was also leaking. Ma Teng hadn't said anything yet, but this Ma Ma Yunlu had told him first.

In fact, Liu Bei had known about Han Sui's troop movement the day before yesterday, and he even knew about the impending attack by Ding Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

He smiled, looking not at all anxious,

"A mere eighty thousand troops, I don't take them seriously."

Ma Ma Yunlu admired him in her heart; her father had been shocked when he heard Han Sui was bringing eighty thousand men, but this Liu Bei was truly a hero!

She advised,

"Lord Liu Xuande, I know you are a great hero, brave and skilled in battle, but you only have six thousand troops... even if you can fight ten, it's still not enough."

Liu Bei's expression was calm,

"Isn't there still your father's thirty thousand troops? Don't worry, the Ma family has been loyal for generations. Your father, Ma Teng, and brother, Ma Chao, are both brave and skilled in battle; they don't fear Han Sui."

Ma Ma Yunlu was anxious,

"Lord Liu Xuande, my father hasn't made up his mind yet."

Liu Bei indicated that he believed Ma Teng would make the right choice.

Ma Ma Yunlu stomped her foot,

"Hmph, if you don't listen, forget it. Anyway, I've said my piece."

Liu Bei smiled,

"Don't be anxious, Miss Ma. Han Sui is just a man who marks his own head for the executioner; it won't be hard for me to break him."

Ma Ma Yunlu indicated she didn't believe it; it was absolutely impossible, the others had at least eighty thousand men.

Liu Bei looked at Ma Ma Yunlu—beautiful and charming with a heroic spirit, delicate skin, absolutely beautiful.

"Miss Ma, how about we make a bet? If I win, will you marry me?"

Ma Ma Yunlu instantly blushed,

"How can you, how can you bet yourself..."

However, she was a woman from the north, clear about love and hate, not so pretentious, and had long admired Liu Bei. Her beautiful eyes turned,

She had always wanted to marry a handsome great hero—well, a great hero who must also be handsome.

"Lord Liu Xuande, what if I win? What then?"

Liu Bei smiled,

"Then I will inevitably be captured by Han Sui and will have to rely on you, Miss Ma, to rescue me."

Ma Ma Yunlu's mouth twitched, and she spat,

"Bad guy! You're betting on a sure thing, aren't you?"

Liu Bei chatted with Ma Ma Yunlu again, and the two quickly became familiar.

When Liu Bei was about to leave, Ma Ma Yunlu again advised Liu Bei to leave Longxi first, gather his troops, and then he wouldn't have to fear Han Sui.

Liu Bei was noncommittal, only telling Ma Ma Yunlu to remember tonight's bet.

Netizens in the live broadcast room were frantically complaining,

"Since ancient times, routines win hearts!"

"That big-eared thief has dug a good pit for Miss Ma Ma Yunlu."

"This Miss Ma is truly beautiful, exotic style, spicy personality, goddess face, female lunatic heart—also an interesting soul."

"The big-eared thief's demonic claws have stretched too far!"

"Ma Teng's backyard has been stolen, and he's still thinking about being sworn brothers with Liu Bei!"

Liu Bei returned to the hall. Ma Chao had just competed in strength with Zhang Fei and lost, feeling very frustrated, and wanted to compete in martial arts tomorrow.

Liu Bei also agreed with Ma Teng to gather outside the city tomorrow.

Ma Teng was still struggling in his heart whether to lean towards Liu Bei or continue to cooperate with Han Sui.

"Let's see tomorrow."

At night,

Liu Bei returned to the military camp, and the smell of alcohol instantly faded.
