Chapter 254: Opportunity

Guo Jia said with great admiration,

"I only thought of one step, but my Lord has already thought of three. Wu Yi followed Liu Yan into Shu back then and is a high-ranking official in Yizhou."

"My Lord taking Wu Yi's sister will not only gain Wu Yi's allegiance but also put the people of Yizhou at ease. It is killing many birds with one stone."

What could Liu Bei do? Let Guo Fengxiao think whatever he wanted.

At noon the next day, Guo Jia and Zhang Fei came to invite Liu Bei. **CHAPTER 456**

"My Lord, we still have to go to Liu Zhang's for drinks tonight, but don't forget about going to Wu Yi's house for drinks at noon."

Liu Bei?

"When did I make that appointment?"

Zhang Fei grinned,

"Big Brother, we are going to campaign with Wu Yi; shouldn't we go and discuss it with him?"

Liu Bei glared at the two of them,

"You two are becoming more and more presumptuous, actually making decisions for me!"

The two hurriedly cupped their hands, indicating they didn't dare, they just wanted their Big Brother/Lord not to be so lonely in Yizhou.

At Wu Yi's residence,

"Duke of Liu Xuande, your visit to my humble home truly makes it shine."

Wu Yi was very moved by Liu Bei's humility. Logically, he should have been the one to go to Liu Bei's place.

Liu Bei smiled,

"Brother Ziyuan, we came today for two reasons: first, to drink your fine wine, and second, to hear you introduce the situation in Nanzhong."

Wu Yi hurriedly ordered his servants to bring out the fine wine from his home to prepare for the drinking.

The group drank and chatted,

"Duke of Liu Xuande, the major forces in southern Yizhou now are Yong Kai, who occupies Jianning; the King of the Sou, Gao Ding, of Yuexi Commandery; the Administrator of Zangke, Zhu Bao; and Meng Huo of Jianning."

"Among them, Yong Kai is a descendant of Yong Chi. After hundreds of years of development, he has now become a great clan in Nanzhong. Yong Kai is arrogant and domineering; this rebellion was mostly instigated by him."

Liu Bei laughed,

"Yong Chi rebelled against the High Ancestor many times, and now Yong Kai has also become a rebel; it really is..."

Everyone laughed loudly.

Liu Bei praised,

"Brother Ziyuan's summary is very correct. To pacify Nanzhong, we must destroy Yong Kai."

Zhang Fei raised his cup,

"Big Brother, we've discussed the big matters, can we drink happily now?"

Liu Bei nodded,

"Good, I knew you were greedy for wine."

Wu Yi hurriedly toasted him. He wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was very smart. He could see that Liu Bei thought highly of him, so why not seize the opportunity?

Judging by the trend, Liu Bei was a powerful figure with a great chance of reaching the pinnacle of the Han.

After more than a dozen rounds of drinks, Wu Yi was somewhat drunk. Zhang Fei winked at Liu Bei, and Guo Jia frequently looked toward the backyard.

Liu Bei? This is forcing a duck onto the perch!

He had actually already noticed a graceful figure peeking from the window just now. A fleeting glimpse, and the figure was extremely good!

Liu Bei stood up and walked toward the backyard.

The livestream exploded,

"The Big-Eared Thief has finally stopped pretending!"

"Actually, he had planned it all along in his heart!"

"For the sake of Yizhou, what's the harm in sacrificing a little? Even if she were ugly, wouldn't it be the same once the candles were blown out!"

Liu Bei arrived at the backyard and happened to see a girl with extremely good skin and red lips and white teeth walking around in the courtyard.

Seeing Liu Bei walk in, the girl hurriedly bowed gracefully,

"This concubine, Lady Wu, greets the Duke of Liu Xuande."

She looked up and boldly sized up Liu Bei, sighing in her heart,

"So the Duke of Liu Xuande is so imposing and handsome, with such temperament. No wonder so many peerless beauties admire him."

Actually, on the day Liu Bei entered the city, Lady Wu had also secretly gone to see the Duke of Liu Xuande, whose might shook the nine provinces.

Unfortunately, she was too far away to see his full appearance.

Seeing him this time, she truly felt that Liu Bei's face was like jade, his eyes like bright stars, and he possessed the temperament of a superior; his image was excellent.

Liu Bei sized up Lady Wu, sighing that the water and soil of Yizhou truly nourish people.

Lady Wu was in her twenties, with delicate, snow-white skin, an oval face, long eyebrows, and large, bright almond eyes. Her posture was graceful, her radiance was dazzling, and her collarbones were especially beautiful.

Rumor had it that the first time Liu Yan saw Lady Wu, he wanted to take her, but unfortunately, the age gap was too large, and she was the younger sister of his subordinate and the daughter of an old friend, so it wouldn't sound good to say it out loud, which is why he wanted his third son to marry her.

The livestream barrage exploded,

"Damn, this woman's skin is so white and tender!"

"Her expression is both charming and dignified; a top-tier product!"

"Her long legs must be very white, it's a pity I can't see them."

"These two have clearly taken a liking to each other."

"Lady Wu is clearly stunned; she has to seize the opportunity. If she misses the Big-Eared Thief, no one in Yizhou would dare to marry her."

Lady Wu clearly knew this was her opportunity; otherwise, living as a widow for the rest of her life, she would have wanted to die.

For the past few days, her dreams had been filled with the figure of Liu Bei she saw last time. It could be said that her dreams were all about Liu Bei, and as for what they were doing, it goes without saying.

Thinking of this, Lady Wu clearly blushed.

Liu Bei smiled,

"I didn't expect Yizhou to have such peerless beauty. I have been rude to the lady."

Lady Wu bowed gracefully again,

"The Duke of Liu Xuande flatters me."

Liu Bei took a few quick steps and helped Lady Wu up. Their hands touched, and it was like an electric shock!

Lady Wu's face was already flushed red.

Liu Bei coughed,

"Don't blame me, Miss; I drank too much just now."

Lady Wu said in a low voice,

"I am very happy to be able to see the Duke of Liu Xuande."

Having expressed her intentions to this extent, how could Liu Bei not understand? This young lady wants him to help her get out of her single status!

In order not to go against the woman's wishes, Liu Bei nodded,

"I have fallen in love with you at first sight; are you willing to let me take you into my household?"

Lady Wu was overjoyed. She finally didn't have to live as a widow! The key was that she had become a widow before even getting married; that was too miserable!

"I am willing."

She knew Liu Bei's deeds by heart. Being able to marry such a great hero, and one who was so handsome, she would wake up laughing even in her dreams!

The livestream was sour with jealousy,

"Damn, such a top-tier beauty, and Liu Bei got her in the snap of a finger!"

"The Big-Eared Thief's reputation is too good now, and he's handsome; he's unstoppable."

"Lady Wu is the one who profited; otherwise, living as a widow for a lifetime, is that a life for a human?"

Liu Bei took Lady Wu directly to the place where they were drinking.

Wu Yi?? What is the situation?

Liu Bei smiled,

"Brother Ziyuan, I have fallen in love with your sister at first sight and wish to take her into my household. I wonder what you think?"

Lady Wu signaled to Wu Yi: Hurry up and agree!

Wu Yi was of course willing to climb the high branch of Liu Bei, but he was afraid of offending Liu Zhang, as this was Liu Zhang's widow-sister-in-law in name.

Liu Bei naturally knew Wu Yi's concerns,

"No matter, I will speak to Liu Zhang; it won't put you in a difficult position."

Then Wu Yi had no problem. The Duke of Liu Xuande, whose might shook the world, being his brother-in-law was something he couldn't ask for more!

And seeing his sister live as a widow, he also felt bad.

The matter was settled just like that. Zhang Fei and Guo Jia looked at each other; their Lord had indeed succeeded! **CHAPTER 457**
