Chapter 26: Liu Bei: Arranging the Gan woman for me? I don

The pursuit lasted for half a day.

Zhao Yun reported the results:

“My lord, our army has won a great victory. We captured over 6,300 prisoners, seized 93 warhorses, and over 5,000 swords and spears.”

Liu Bei nodded,

“Good. Pass down the order: reward based on merit. Tonight, we slaughter chickens and sheep to celebrate!”

Zhao Yun hesitated, wanting to speak.

Liu Bei laughed,

“Zhao Zilong, we have a bond forged in life and death. If you have something to say, speak freely!”

Zhao Yun cupped his hands,

“My lord, as your personal guard captain, I have a duty to protect you. You going out to duel just now was truly too dangerous.”

Liu Bei laughed in spite of himself,

“I was just itching for a fight. Don’t worry, next time I won’t duel; I’ll leave it to you all.”

Zhao Yun cupped his hands,

“Thank you, my lord, for accepting my suggestion.”

Zhang Fei returned on horseback, also very dissatisfied,

“Big Brother, Second Brother isn’t here, so I fully expected to slaughter a main general. Why did you go up instead! This is too hard for me!”

Zhang Fei felt he was being outdone. Guan Yu stole kills, Zhao Yun stole kills, and he hadn’t expected Big Brother to start stealing kills too!

Liu Bei was speechless,

“Alright, since you all have objections, next time I’ll just watch you kill the enemies.”

Zhao Yun hurriedly said,

“My lord is wise!”

“Big Brother, you promised!”

Just as Liu Bei returned to the county office, he didn’t expect the local powerful clans to have sent him a grand gift.

“The Gan woman?”

Liu Bei then remembered—wasn’t A Dou’s mother right here in Xiaopei!

Although A Dou wasn’t much—it was possible his brain had been damaged when Liu Bei dropped him—

But this Lady Gan was excellent. Not only was she beautiful with skin that glowed white, but more importantly, she was virtuous, didn’t fight or scramble for power, and had a gentle personality. She was a good helpmeet!

Besides, he could find a clever girl to be his legal wife and just not make A Dou his heir!

Liu Bei shook his head,

“Everyone, this isn’t quite right. The Great Han is currently in turmoil; I don’t have the heart for this.”

Several elders persuaded him one after another,

“County Magistrate, the old saying goes: of the three unfilial acts, having no descendants is the greatest.”

“That’s right, my lord, you are already twenty-eight. At your age, I was already a grandfather!”

Liu Bei was somewhat shocked,

“Then you are truly impressive!”

Several women pushed Lady Gan inside,

“This young woman greets the Magistrate.”

Liu Bei looked at Lady Gan. Her figure was graceful, her skin white and beautiful, and she wasn’t old. Her skin was like frost and snow illuminated by the bright moonlight.

A pair of watery, sparkling eyes shone with brilliance; she was beautiful beyond description!

“Truly top-tier!”

The netizens in the livestream were instantly restless,

“Damn, this Lady Gan is really pretty!”

“Unique temperament, skin and looks are both top-notch. The key is she looks very obedient—does she do whatever she’s told?”

“This Liu Daer thief is still pretending!”

“Liu Liu Daer, draw your sword! This is the hatred of stealing a wife!”

“There’s actually this kind of benefit? Why wasn’t I selected to participate in the competition!”

“No sleep tonight, my Lady Gan!”

Liu Bei coughed,

“Lady Gan, are you willing to marry me of your own free will?”

Lady Gan nodded, her large eyes looking at Liu Bei with a shy expression,

“My lord, I made up my mind when I was on the city wall.”

After she finished speaking, her face instantly turned red.

Liu Bei asked again,

“Following me might mean a life of displacement. Are you willing?”

Lady Gan nodded,

“To be able to follow a hero like you, my lord, I would be willing even in death.”

Liu Bei walked over,

“Good. Rest assured, I will treat you very well. I won’t let you suffer any grievances, and I won’t let you cry.”

Lady Gan bowed gracefully,

“It is all up to the Magistrate’s arrangements.”

Liu Bei nodded to himself. Ancient women were indeed good; they followed their husbands after marriage and listened to everything their husbands said.

That day, several wealthy families sent people to decorate the county office.

Liu Bei took Lady Gan as his wife that very night.

The residence was decked out in lanterns and colorful decorations.

Liu Bei drank all the powerful clans of Xiaopei under the table!

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were also very happy and drank quite a bit of wine.

Liu Bei staggered back to the inner chamber. Lady Gan, having been dressed up, looked even more delicate and charming.

The candlelight flickered, and their two shadows leaned together.

However, ===== CHAPTER 53 =====

Liu Bei soon broke his word. He had promised not to let Lady Gan suffer any grievances,

but as it turned out, Lady Gan was crying her eyes out that very night!

Perhaps she was crying tears of joy from marrying Liu Bei, the hero in her heart...

The livestream was sour,

“What does the system mean! Is there something we VIPs can’t watch!”

“Exactly, there’s no human rights! Maybe Lady Gan is an assassin sent by someone else; let me observe carefully!”

“The Liu Daer thief is too shameless. On one hand, he says he doesn’t want it, and on the other... I’m too embarrassed to talk about him!”

“Liu Liu Daer, I am at odds with you!”

“Bai Yuekui and Hua Hua Mulan are still being kept in the dark!”

“The Liu Daer thief must have thought of this day when he sent them to Zhuojun!”

“Too treacherous! On the surface, he’s unwilling, but his body is very honest!”

Early the next morning,

Liu Bei felt he had integrated even more into the Three Kingdoms world!

“Husband, let me wash your face.”

Although Lady Gan had some difficulty moving, she insisted on getting up early to fetch water for Liu Bei to wash his face.

Liu Bei grabbed her jade-like hand,

“Wife, it’s too early. Let’s go back to sleep for a bit!”

Soon, the screen in the livestream showing Liu Bei turned black, leaving only Hua Hua Mulan and Bai Yuekui far away in Zhuojun, working hard to train the soldiers! ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
