Chapter 227

After the maid was sent out,

Lady Cai began to pour out her grievances to Liu Bei.

"Lord Liu Xuande, I do not want to marry Liu Biao. My brother and the others keep forcing me. Why should a young woman like me have to sacrifice for the family?"

"I only want to find a husband who shares my feelings and spend my life with him."

After speaking, she gave Liu Bei an affectionate look; it was very alluring!

Liu Bei cursed her as a little enchantress!

He considered it: intercepting Liu Biao was a bit immoral, but it felt great!

Besides,

the Cai family was the largest gentry family in Jingzhou. If he took this Lady Cai, entering Jingzhou in the future would be extremely smooth.

Lady Cai looked at Liu Bei nervously, fearing he would say he wasn't willing; she was extremely tense.

Liu Bei smiled.

"Since I cured the Chen woman, Brother Brother Jingsheng can continue to be with his original wife, and Lady Cai will have to wait in her boudoir for another ten years. I will naturally take responsibility."

The word "responsibility" touched Lady Cai's heart!

Lady Cai smiled like a blooming flower, and she gripped Liu Bei's hand tightly.

"Lord Liu Xuande, is that true?!"

"I, Liu Bei, never lie. However..."

"However what? I will agree to anything, but I am a bit weak right now..."

Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat. This girl was indeed proactive; it seemed she was determined to cling to him.

He coughed.

"However, you still need to move around more. Lying in bed for days leads to poor circulation and makes you prone to illness."

Lady Cai struggled to get up and said pitifully,

"Lord Liu Xuande, I have no strength left."

Lady Cai had gotten her wish, and her girlish behavior burst forth, making Liu Bei want to...

He thought for a moment.

"I haven't had lunch yet. Shall I have your maid bring something to eat?"

Lady Cai praised him; Lord Liu Xuande is truly full of brilliant strategies.

Soon, the maid went to fetch food.

"Hey, Lord Liu Xuande and my mistress have the same tastes; the things they like to eat are almost the same."

Liu Bei 'treated' Lady Cai for an hour or so, which was actually just chatting. Lady Cai's admiration for him grew even stronger!

"Lady Cai, get some good rest. I will come to see you again tomorrow."

Lady Cai bowed gracefully.

"Lord Liu Xuande's medical skills are superb; I feel much better!"

"Good."

The two looked at each other, everything understood without words.

Liu Bei left the Cai residence and returned to the guesthouse.

Before he could even sit down,

Guo Jia and Pang Tong arrived together.

"My Lord, you have worked hard!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Not hard at all. What is it?"

Guo Jia cupped his hands.

"My Lord, Pang Shiyuan and I have discussed it. Could you work a little harder to win over Lady Cai and sacrifice yourself for the great cause?"

Liu Bei??

"Guo Fengxiao, where does this come from?"

The livestream chat exploded.

"Damn, Guo Guo Fengxiao is here to persuade Liu Bei to pick up girls again!"

"The two of them are still in the dark, while the Big-Eared Thief has already drawn the whole plan!"

"This is why the Big-Eared Thief is the Lord!"

"The Big-Eared Thief has already anticipated Guo Jia's anticipation!"

Guo Jia cupped his hands.

"My Lord, the Cai family is one of the largest families in Jingzhou. When Liu Biao entered Jingzhou alone, it was thanks to the support of the Cai and Kuai families that he was able to stand firm."

"If you win over Lady Cai, entering Jingzhou in the future will be as easy as turning over one's hand!"

Pang Tong also said,

"My Lord, Lady Cai is the greatest beauty in Jingzhou. I hear she is peerlessly beautiful. You are a hero of the world and so handsome; the union of the two of you would be a legendary tale!"

Liu Bei frowned.

"I am a guest in Jingzhou; taking Brother Liu Brother Jingsheng's prospective wife—isn't that too immoral?"

Pang Tong hurriedly waved his hand.

"My Lord, you are mistaken. Although this is an open secret, you are not from Jingzhou. An open secret is still a secret, and it is normal for you not to know."

"Besides, you cured the Governor's wife, so Lady Cai has no hope of marrying into the Governor's mansion. If you take her, the Cai family should be grateful to you!"

Liu Bei nodded.

Pang Tong is capable; his theory is awesome, but his background is poor. Otherwise, he would also be a scumbag!

Guo Jia advised,

"My Lord, if you become a son-in-law of Jingzhou, there will be many fewer obstacles to taking Jingzhou in the future. Please work hard, my Lord!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Don't be in such a hurry, you two. I chatted with Lady Cai today, and she begged me to help her escape this situation; she doesn't want to marry into the Governor's mansion either."

Guo Jia and Pang Tong looked at each other. The Lord is the Lord; he is always ahead of them!

Pang Tong smiled.

"My Lord, I'm afraid Lady Cai is very interested in you. She wants to marry into the Governor's mansion in Chang'an, not the one in Xiangyang."

Liu Bei was startled. He hadn't expected Pang Tong to understand a woman's heart so well.

Pang Tong laughed heartily.

"Haha, my Lord is a hero of the world, shakes the nine provinces, is young and promising, and is handsome. Which woman wouldn't like you? If I were a woman..."

Liu Bei hurriedly waved his hand.

"Alright, Pang Shiyuan, stop talking. I know..."

Imagining Pang Tong turning into a woman was too difficult for Liu Bei!

"I can take my time with Lady Cai's matter. As for Kongming, help me find a way to recruit him."

Liu Bei didn't have a hell-difficulty endgame game for Zhuge Zhang Liang to play, and it was impossible to let Zhuge Zhang Liang be his strategist the moment he arrived.

He wasn't the down-and-out Liu Bei from Xinye with only a few thousand soldiers. He held the three provinces, and many old brothers who had followed him to conquer the world were watching. What would they think of him?

Pang Tong thought for a moment.

"My Lord, Kongming compares himself to Guan Zhong and has great ambitions. His pride is also extremely high. Recruiting him with ordinary methods will likely be quite difficult."

Zhang Fei snorted.

"My Big Brother is the honorable General of the Flying Cavalry. What does a village farmer have to be so arrogant about!"

Liu Bei waved his hand.

"Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix are equally famous. With Pang Shiyuan's great talent, I think Kongming will not be inferior."

Pang Tong was secretly delighted and cupped his hands.

"My Lord, you flatter me. Actually, Kongming has a thorny problem recently. If you help him solve it, he will surely be moved to tears."

Liu Bei? Zhuge Zhang Liang also has a thorny problem?

Pang Tong continued,

"My Lord, Kongming is eight feet tall, his face is like jade, and he is handsome."

Speaking of this, Pang Tong felt a pain in his heart. Having a friend who was both handsome and talented by his side, he naturally became the background.
