Chapter 217

"Lord Liu Xuande."

Liu Bei helped him up.

"Lu Ji, I originally wanted to take you to Chang'an, but who would have thought you would encounter the plague; I have failed you."

Lu Ji was moved to tears; this was a great hero who shook the nine provinces.

Liu Bei followed him into the room.

A sixteen-year-old youth lay on the bed, his face pale, his lips cracked.

Liu Bei walked over, took Lu Xun's hand, and took his pulse.

"Fortunately, the condition is not serious; after drinking the medicine and resting for six or seven days, you will be fine."

Lu Ji hurriedly thanked him!

Lu Xun also sighed in a daze,

"How dare Lu Lu Boyan let Lord Liu Xuande come in person."

Xiao Qiao said from the side,

"When Lord Liu Xuande heard you had caught the plague, he was anxious and took a boat over that very night."

Lu Xun instantly had two lines of hot tears flowing down, struggling to get up to salute Liu Bei.

"Lord Liu Xuande's great kindness, I..."

Liu Bei pressed him down and smiled.

"Lu Boyan, rest well; I brought you here because I hope you will work for me."

Lu Xun cupped his hands and said solemnly,

"My lord, this subordinate will definitely exert all his strength until his heart stops."

Liu Bei looked toward Lu Ji again.

"Gongji, how about you study at the Chang'an Academy and learn from my teacher Lu Zhi?"

Lu Ji was overjoyed; being able to worship Lu Zhi as a teacher was naturally very good!

"Many thanks, Lord Liu Xuande!"

Liu Bei chatted with the two for a while and let Lu Xun rest well.

The live stream room barrage also increased.

"Liu Bei is too ruthless; even the child laborer Lu Xun has signed a contract of servitude!"

"Is this Lu Xun very powerful? He looks thin, his martial arts must not be very good!"

"I believe in the big-eared thief's vision!"

"Maybe Liu Bei is raising the two of them, and in the future, he will avenge Lu Kang and crusade against Sun Ce in their names."

"Am I the only one who thinks Liu Bei has taken a fancy to that little handsome guy named Lu Xun? Too dirty!"

As Liu Bei's prescriptions and handling measures began to operate,

The plague near Pengze was greatly alleviated.

Many commoners with mild cases had already been cured.

They were grateful for Liu Bei's kindness and took the initiative to start taking care of those patients who had not yet recovered.

Lu Xun's body also recovered, helping Liu Bei handle various affairs.

Although he was not old, Lu Xun did things steadily, and Liu Bei was very relieved to hand things over to him.

Liu Yao could also walk out of bed and was naturally grateful to Liu Bei—this was a life-saving grace.

Unfortunately, while some people got better, others got sick.

Xiao Qiao's body was relatively weak; following Liu Bei to work in the plague area, she herself was also infected.

Liu Bei gently let Xiao Qiao lie down to rest.

"I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming; now something has happened."

Xiao Qiao was extremely aggrieved; after getting sick, her body was even weaker.

"Wuwuwu, I just wanted to accompany you..."

Her voice soft and glutinous, her face somewhat pale, and tears in her eyes—the soft and weak Xiao Qiao made Liu Bei unable to bear scolding her.

Xiao Qiao's expression was uncomfortable.

"My head is so dizzy, so uncomfortable; Lord Liu Xuande, am I going to die?"

"Lord Liu Xuande, after I die, please take good care of my sister; she has long had deep feelings for you."

Liu Bei smiled.

"And you? Before you die, don't you want to tell me the truth?"

Xiao Qiao was terrified; she had originally just pretended to be sick to confess, not knowing she was so serious.

"Wuwuwu, Lord Liu Xuande, I had long heard of your deeds and admired you for a long time; meeting you this time, I liked you even more in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't have run to your camp with my sister to confront those people..."

"Am I too bad, to have suffered this retribution, wuwu."

Xiao Qiao said everything, her expression extremely miserable.

"Wuwu, I didn't expect that I would suffer such a great disaster."

Liu Bei, however, smiled.

"It may not be a disaster; I can not only cure this illness of yours but also make you recover quickly—it just depends on whether you are willing."

Xiao Qiao??

"Really? I am naturally willing; how do you want me to cooperate?"

Liu Bei finished speaking in Xiao Qiao's ear.

Xiao Qiao's face was instantly covered in a blush; if these words hadn't been spoken by Liu Bei, Xiao Qiao would have cursed him as a lecher!

Her voice trembled.

"Lord Liu Xuande, you aren't lying to me, are you?"

Liu Bei shook his head.

"When has Liu Bei ever lied to anyone? Don't worry, I will definitely be responsible; I can take you as a concubine right here in Yuzhang."

What else could Xiao Qiao say? Treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

She braced her body to chat with Liu Bei, for her own recovery, and also to repay his kindness...

Liu Bei praised secretly,

The delicate Xiao Qiao has a unique flavor!

"Sure enough, she is an art student; she has some things in her hands."

The live stream room naturally went to a black screen.

"Damn, I have never seen a scumbag more shameless than the big-eared thief!"

"Xiao Qiao is already like that, and you still treat her that way; what exactly do you want!"

"The person upstairs, what kind of heavenly book are you talking about?"

"I actually think they are quite a match; Xiao Qiao had already made up her mind, didn't you see how enterprising she is!"
