Chapter 238

He already knew that this was his future boss!

Moreover, Lord Liu Xuande had even taken the "Ugly" Huang Yueying for his sake; Lord Liu Xuande had it too hard.

Liu Bei also decided that Zhuge Zhang Liang was a good employee.

Devoted and conscientious, working until his death.

Working tirelessly for Liu Bei's cause—where could one find such a senior executive!

His salary wasn't high, he wasn't greedy, and after his death, he only left his son eight hundred mulberry trees and fifteen qing of fertile land!

Compared to ordinary people, it was okay.

But this was the Prime Minister of a country; think of Cai Jing, Yan Song...

Ask yourself, which chairman wouldn't like such a general manager.

Liu Bei pulled Zhuge Zhang Liang over for an enthusiastic conversation.

Zhuge Zhang Liang naturally tried his best to show his talent.

Liu Bei praised him highly.

"Kongming is truly a great talent. I intend to appoint you as an advisor to the General of the Cavalry's mansion; are you willing?"

Zhuge Zhang Liang was naturally willing; Liu Bei was his best choice, and he had helped him solve the trouble with the Huang family, so he had to join!

He bowed deeply and said with unusual seriousness,

"I am honored by the Lord's favor; I shall surely be devoted and conscientious until my death!"

Liu Bei sighed in his heart.

It was this one promise that ended Zhuge Zhang Liang's life of farming and lying flat.

He began decades of hard work, without holidays, wholeheartedly, working until he was exhausted.

Finally, he died of illness at Wuzhang Plains!

Thinking of this, tears welled up in Liu Bei's eyes, and his heart surged uncontrollably.

When Zhuge Zhang Liang saw that the Lord was moved to tears, he was also moved beyond measure, his face streaming with tears.

A thousand words turned into one sentence,

"My Lord!"

The two men's hands were tightly clasped together...

The live stream chat exploded.

"Damn, what is that Big-Eared Thief getting so excited about!"

"Isn't it just hiring a farmer?"

"Yeah, it's only people like Pang Tong who say Zhuge has great talent."

"An eighteen-year-old farmer? Looking at Zhuge's thin frame, he definitely can't fight!"

"He's just handsome. Liu Bei, that guy, isn't he still into that style!"

The Jingzhou gentry instantly thought more highly of Zhuge Zhang Liang; a talent who could make Liu Bei so excited must be a great talent!

Liu Biao? Does this Zhuge Zhang Liang actually have world-shaking talent?!

He shook his head; even if he did, he wouldn't use him. The positions in Jingzhou were basically held by local powerful clans.

If Zhuge Zhang Liang married Huang Yueying and became the Huang family's son-in-law, it might be possible.

Liu Bei went to toast again.

Cui Cui Zhouping, Pang Tong, and others surrounded Zhuge Zhang Liang.

"We can be together again in the future!"

"We must drink enough today!"

Liu Bei finished toasting and didn't see off Liu Biao and the others until late at night.

Liu Biao held Liu Bei's hand.

"Liu Xuande, I can't bear to part with you."

Liu Bei laughed.

"Brother Brother Jingsheng, I can't bear to part with you either, but I've been away from home for three months, so it's time to go back."

While Liu Biao expressed his reluctance, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Liu Bei's aura was too strong; if he stayed any longer and he caught some other illness, he feared he would really have to give up Jingzhou.

Liu Bei returned to the backyard and completed the ceremony with the help of Lady Cai and Lady Ding Yuan.

Actually, Huang Yueying had a graceful figure, a scholarly air, an outstanding temperament, was beautiful, and her skin was much better now; she could definitely do that.

But,

Liu Bei respected Huang Yueying's thoughts, chatted with her for a while, and let Lady Cai and Lady Ding Yuan accompany Huang Yueying tonight.

He went out to find others to drink and chat.

It was already late at night.

The guests had all dispersed.

The post house was left with Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Taishi Ci, Guo Jia,

as well as Pang Tong, Pang Pang Shanmin, Meng Sun Jian, Cui Cui Zhouping, Zhuge Zhang Liang, and others.

Zhuge Zhang Liang was flushed from drinking.

"Sigh, the Lord has paid too much for me!"

Thinking that Liu Bei was currently painfully doing something against his will, Zhuge Zhang Liang's heart was broken.

Pang Tong, who was beside him, also said,

"Kongming, when the Lord heard about your trouble, he wrote a petition that very day and went to Huang Huang Chengyan's residence the next day to try to talk to Huang Yueying."

Zhuge Zhang Liang's brother-in-law, Pang Pang Shanmin, also said,

"Kongming, the Lord values you very much."

Zhuge Zhang Liang let out a long sigh.

"The Lord is too hardworking! Why did he have to do this for me!"

Just then,

Liu Bei walked out and laughed heartily.

"Everyone hasn't gone to sleep yet? Good, let's keep drinking."

Gan Ning laughed.

"My Lord, why aren't you accompanying your bride?"

The person beside him hit him; this was touching a sore spot!

Gan Ning then remembered Huang Yueying's nickname, "Ugly," and cursed himself silently. No wonder he couldn't get ahead; this mouth was truly lacking!

He wished he could slap himself!

Liu Bei didn't mind.

"Yueying is not feeling well, so Lady Cai and Lady Ding Yuan are accompanying her."

Zhuge Zhang Liang had already seen it; Liu Bei was wearing the same clothes as before, and there were wine stains, clearly nothing had happened.

"The Lord is still forcing a smile!"

He was instantly streaming with tears and thought to himself,

"And the Lord still says it wasn't for me!"

Liu Bei was startled. What's wrong with this Zhuge Zhang Liang? Could it be that he was so sad because he snatched Huang Yueying?

"That shouldn't be; didn't he say he didn't want to marry her?"

Zhuge Zhang Liang bowed deeply.

"My Lord, you have done too much for me. I have nothing to repay you with, only my life!"

Liu Bei?

Pang Tong also sighed.

"My Lord, stop pretending. Everyone knows you only took Huang Yueying for Kongming's sake, yet you still lied to us saying Huang Yueying was very good."

"Sigh, with such a Lord, if we don't work hard, are we even human!"

Pang Pang Shanmin, Zhuge Zhang Liang, and Cui Cui Zhouping all nodded heavily.

Liu Bei let out a long sigh in his heart.

"Damn it, what a disaster; this misunderstanding is truly huge!"
