Chapter 214

"It looks exactly like my husband who goes to the kindergarten at two in the afternoon to pick up the kids!"

"Providing a job for two young ladies, including room and board—isn't this just getting the advantage of being close to the water!"

"Beauty that topples kingdoms, looking back with grace, bright and radiant—one would be a lifetime of luck, yet the big-eared thief gets double the luck!"

"Young ladies, I advise you to be careful and stay away from the big-eared thief!"

Liu Bei turned and went to arrange other matters.

Xiao Qiao whispered to Da Qiao,

"Sister, I said that if we made a big scene, Lord Liu Xuande would notice us, right... hee hee."

Da Qiao hurriedly said,

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Liu Bei??

His hearing was excellent, so he naturally heard the two's conversation!

"Could it be that the Qiao sisters are the high-end hunters? I didn't expect you to be such Qiao sisters!"

He did not expect that he had actually been played by the Qiao sisters.

"Hmph, there will be a time for you to cry later."

The live stream room exploded.

"I ate a plate of peanuts and still haven't figured out where I lost!"

"The Qiao sisters are the hunters? The big-eared thief is the prey—sorry, I'm confused!"

"Sure enough, beautiful women are the best at lying!"

"Could it be that the Qiao sisters just want to never be separated for the rest of their lives?"

"Does the big-eared thief need a stunt double?"

When Liu Xun heard his subordinates report, he was stunned.

"My Wancheng actually has two such beauties? Why am I the last to know?!"

A few days later,

Sun Ce, who had just returned to Qu'a to recover from his injuries, received the news like a bolt from the blue!

"What? Liu Bei snatched my concubine Da Qiao?!"

"And he said I forcibly seized women? Big-eared thief, I will not stand under the same sky as you!"

Sun Ce was extremely furious and spat out another mouthful of old blood!

Zhou Yu, while heartbroken over the loss of Xiao Qiao, hurriedly and frantically had a physician check Sun Ce's condition.

A young man with a square jaw and a large mouth was also furious.

"This Liu Bei dares to bully my elder brother like this!"

"I, Sun Quan, will definitely seek justice for my elder brother!"

A little girl pouted and said,

"Big brother is a hero, why care about a woman? Lord Liu Xuande letting them choose for themselves is not wrong either."

Sun Ce's little cotton-padded jacket Sun Sun Shangxiang is also leaking?

Yanzhou,

Cao Cao was very depressed; after returning, Guan Yu had already circled Chen Liu and left with tens of thousands of commoners.

Lu Bu also snatched quite a lot of things to take home.

Cao Cao felt that his trip to Shouchun was for nothing!

He didn't gain any money, grain, troops, or commoners!

After reading the intelligence from Huainan, he had to sigh,

"Liu Bei is indeed a genius; such an operation is possible—eating grain in Huainan and having merchants pick up goods in Chang'an!"

"Obtained 800, 00 shi of grain?! And someone named Lu Su gave away 30, 00 shi for free?"

Cao Cao's eyes were red; he was short of grain, he was truly short of grain!

"This Lu Lu Zijing must be a spendthrift!"

Cao Cao was sour and extremely depressed.

Xun Yu sighed,

"My lord, Liu Bei has almost emptied Jiujiang Commandery, obtaining over 400, 00 people; the total population of Guanzhong has already exceeded 7 million."

Cheng Yu also sighed,

"I originally didn't think much of the land of Guanzhong, with years of war and raids by the Qiang and Xiongnu, and a small population. I didn't expect Liu Bei to resolve the threat of the Hu Ren, supplement the population of Guanzhong, and open up the trade route to the Western Regions in just a few short years."

Seeing that everyone was a bit discouraged, Cao Cao laughed loudly.

"No matter how hard Liu Bei tries, the population is only 7 million; the population of my Yanzhou and Yuzhou is even larger than that. As long as I take Taking Xuzhou, the population can exceed 10 million!"

Cao Cao stood up tall.

"Ding Yuan Shu of Huainan is already a skeleton in the grave and poses no threat. Our army's next goal is to annex Taking Xuzhou and occupy the Central Plains!"

"My lord is wise!"

After everyone went down, Xia Xia Houyuan stayed behind.

"My lord, there is news from Huainan."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"The two Qiao sisters north of the river are almost here?"

Xia Xia Houyuan knelt on one knee.

"My lord, our envoy arrived in Wancheng just as Sun Ce's envoy arrived; he wanted to take the two Qiao sisters to Jiangdong, one for each for him and Zhou Yu!"

Cao Cao??

"Sun Wentai's son is this shameless? Did he ask for the Qiao sisters' opinion!"

Xia Xia Houyuan's eyelids twitched; it seemed his lord hadn't asked either.

"But I didn't expect the Qiao sisters to flee into the refugee camp, and everyone was arguing in the refugee camp..."

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat.

"Don't tell me the big-eared thief was drawn there."

Cao Cao discovered that the more he worried about something, the more it would indeed happen!

"My lord, the argument drew Liu Bei; he shouted Sun Ce's envoy away, slandered our envoy as a spy and killed him, and then hired the Qiao sisters as music teachers for his children."

Cao Cao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Is there anyone more shameless than the big-eared thief!"

"Diao Chan, the two Qiao sisters north of the river, Zhen Mi of Hebei, the Feng beauty of the Central Plains?! Big-eared thief, can you handle it all?"

Cao Cao paced back and forth.

"No matter, when I destroy the big-eared thief, I will take these beauties back."

The eagle-eyed guard outside the door twitched his eyelids; this boss's hobbies are truly unusual!

At the same time,

Ding Yuan Shu, who had returned to Shouchun, also got the scoop.

"What? The big-eared thief earned 800, 00 grain and over 400, 00 people, and there are the two Qiao sisters north of the river, who are as famous as the Feng beauty? Just how beautiful are they!"

Ding Yuan Shu was sour; he was now more miserable than anyone, not even as good as that traitor Sun Ce.

"Just muddle through the days! At worst, I'll go defect to Ding Yuan Shao!"

Liu Bei rested in Wancheng for three days and selected 3, 00 new recruits from the refugees, handing them to Zhang Fei to train while marching along the way.

He also selected 3, 00 new recruits for the Jianghuai navy to be responsible for the warships plotted from Sun Ce.

This day, they were resting in the Xunyang area west of Lujiang, and ahead was Zhen Jiang Zhen Jiang Xiajun.

He had to receive an invitation from Liu Biao before he could take people over.

Guo Jia cupped his hands.
