Chapter 20

When Liu Bei arrived with the main force, the battle here had already ended.

Zhang Fei looked aggrieved.

"Big Brother, Zhang Bao and Zhang Zhang Liang were killed by Second Brother and Zhao Zilong! I didn't get to kill them!"

Liu Bei laughed heartily.

"Zhang Yide, be faster next time, and you might snatch one."

"Yunchang, Zhao Zilong, I have noted your contributions!"

Zhao Yun cupped his hands, admiring him from the bottom of his heart.

"Lord, you are truly wise. As soon as you received news that Zhang Bao was defeated, you had us whip our horses to intercept the Huang Jin soldiers heading toward Guang Sect, and we indeed encountered Zhang Bao and Zhang Zhang Liang!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"It also required you to seize the opportunity. Seal the heads of Zhang Bao and Zhang Zhang Liang well; we are going to see Lord Huangfu Song."

"Understood!"

Remembering something, Liu Bei said to Hua Hua Mulan and Bai Yuekui,

"Stay mixed in with the soldiers later; do not come out."

Bai Yuekui rolled her eyes.

"What's wrong? Does your old flame have a presence there?"

Liu Bei looked at her.

"Look at how jealous you are. I received news that Cao Cao is also with Lord Huangfu Song; he definitely has his own candidates, and I don't want to expose myself too early."

Hua Hua Mulan nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, it's better not to be targeted by thieves. We will dress as men and mix with the soldiers; Captain, just pretend to be a local."

Bai Yuekui curled her lips.

"I knew this guy was very insidious!"

Many netizens in the live stream were also discussing.

"Damn, the Big-Eared Thief's luck is truly heaven-defying."

"I just came from Captain America's side; they besieged them for half a day, let Zhang Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao run, and then Liu Bei picked the peaches at the end!"

"This isn't just luck for Liu Bei; he had already estimated the escape route of Zhang Bao and Zhang Zhang Liang."

"With Cap's IQ, I feel like he's going to be tricked by the Big-Eared Thief!"

"Liu Bei is too insidious, pretending to be an ancient person so everyone has no guard against him."

Boss Cao was very depressed.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Zhang Liang were right in front of him, how did they run away!

At this moment, a soldier reported,

"General, over three thousand troops have arrived, claiming to be led by the imperial clansman and Lu Zhi's student, Liu Bei."

"Imperial clansman?" Cao Cao scoffed. The Han Dynasty had lasted hundreds of years; one could count imperial clansmen for days.

Soon, he became sour.

This Liu Bei had actually beheaded both Zhang Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao!

He looked at Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun beside Liu Bei, and became even sourer.

"These subordinates of Liu Bei all look quite good!"

Liu Bei was also observing Cao Cao.

"Is this Boss Cao? He is tall, his eyes are like torches; one look and you can see he is a shrewd person."

He also noticed Rogers and Hawkeye.

"These two seem to be Cao Cao's confidants already; I estimate their battlefield performance is good."

Rogers and Hawkeye didn't pay attention to Liu Bei; after all, Liu Bei was the last-ranked choice. If anyone chose him, unless he had a cheat, their brain must be broken!

Liu Bei cupped his hands.

"Liu Bei of Zhuoxian pays respects to Brother Cao."

Cao Cao returned the salute.

"Brother Liu, you have an extraordinary bearing, and your soldiers are extremely elite; I am very envious, especially that man with the beautiful beard."

Cao Cao had only seen the nine-foot-tall Guan Yu in the crowd and already liked him quite a bit!

Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat. Guan Yu hadn't even shown his martial arts yet, and this Cao Cao was already eyeing him?

His impression of Cao Cao was,

"Everything belonging to others is good!"

Other people's generals!

Other people's wives!

Even other people's children!

Liu Bei laughed it off.

"Brother Cao's subordinates are also very elite, especially those two Hu Ren."

At this time, Cao Cao had not yet raised his army; his relatives Cao Ren, Cao Hong, the Xia Hou brothers, and others were still local wealthy landlords.

Soon,

Lord Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun arrived together. Seeing the heads of Zhang Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, both sighed.

"The luck of this student of Lu Zhi is truly heaven-defying!"

Lord Huangfu Song finished reading Lu Zhi's recommendation letter and sized up Liu Bei.

"Brother Brother Zigan rarely praises people, yet he values you so much, saying you are his most outstanding student. He truly didn't misjudge; you captured both Zhang Bao brothers as soon as you arrived."

Liu Bei cupped his hands.

"Lord Lord Huangfu, you flatter me. It was the two generals who defeated Zhang Bao; I just happened to encounter them."

Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Liu Bei a few more times.

"Most outstanding student? This evaluation is not low! This Liu Bei should have some ability."

Cap and Hawkeye exchanged a look; they didn't expect the lowest-ranked Liu Bei to have such good luck and such a high evaluation!

However,

even if given ten thousand more chances, they would only choose Cao Cao.

After spending these days together, they found that Cao Cao indeed had the potential of a hero!

Zhu Jun also nodded.

"If these two thieves had escaped, the future troubles would be endless!"

"Now that only Zhang Jiao remains, trapped in Guang Sect by Brother Brother Zigan, things will be much easier!"

Just then,

a scout reported,

"Lord Lord Huangfu, Lord Lu Zhi has been framed by the minor eunuch for not giving a bribe; he has been imprisoned by the Emperor and is being escorted to Luoyang!"

"What?"

Lord Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun exchanged a look. It was a great opportunity to besiege Zhang Jiao, and the Emperor had actually imprisoned Lu Zhi!

"Who is coming to replace Lord Lu?"

"It is the Administrator of Hedong, Dong Zhuo."

Lord Huangfu Song was speechless.

"It's actually that good-for-nothing Dong..."

He had campaigned against the Huang Jin army with Dong Zhuo; he knew exactly how much Dong Zhuo was worth!

Liu Bei suddenly shouted,

"Yunchang, Zhang Yide, gather the troops immediately! We are returning to Guang Sect!"

Cao Cao: "!"

Lord Huangfu Song: "!"

He grabbed Liu Bei.

"Liu Xuande, what are you trying to do? Don't be impulsive; Brother Brother Zigan might be fine."
