Chapter 28

Liu Bei drank Gongsun Zan and Zou Jing under the table and walked out of the hall, swaying.

From afar, he saw Zhao Zilong leading a horse, waiting quietly.

Liu Bei hurried over, even losing a shoe in the process.

He gripped Zhao Yun's hand tightly.

"Zilong, I've kept you waiting."

Zhao Yun was deeply moved; Gongsun Zan didn't value him,

but he didn't expect this Liu Bei to value him so much!

He even lost his shoe!

Zhao Yun quickly picked up Liu Bei's shoe.

"My Lord, it is only right for your subordinate to wait for you."

Liu Bei gripped Zhao Yun's hand tightly.

"Brother Bo'gui wanted to give me a team of White Horse Followers, but he didn't know that Zilong is worth more than all the White Horse Followers combined!"

Zhao Yun was completely moved and shed two lines of hot tears. A scholar dies for one who understands him; he finally had a profound understanding of this sentence.

"My Lord, I will go through fire and water for you, and never refuse!"

Liu Bei sighed lightly; he had only spoken the truth, as Zhao Yun was indeed far more useful than the White Horse Followers.

He didn't expect to move Zhao Yun to this extent; he really didn't know what to say.

He patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder.

"Good, let's talk by candlelight tonight and have a good chat!"

The two walked toward the military camp together.

The broadcast room exploded.

"The ancients are indeed easy to fool."

"The Big-Eared Thief's shoe is truly obedient; it falls off exactly when it needs to!"

"The Big-Eared Thief is definitely a master of picking up girls; after a round of fooling, Little Brother Zhao is already crippled!"

"It seems Little Brother Zhao's virginity won't be kept tonight!"

"I'm worried about our Rogers; what if he gets targeted by Liu Bei!" (A random American netizen).

"Get lost, Rogers is almost a hundred years old; Liu Bei isn't that unpicky!"

"Can the system not block Liu Bei from 'subtly ruling' Zhao Zilong later? I want to see it." (A certain fujoshi shouting).

Things didn't go as everyone thought; Liu Bei chatted with Zhao Yun all night,

from the great affairs of the world to the common people, to his recent plans.

Zhao Yun was completely won over by Liu Bei and secretly swore in his heart to help his Lord with all his heart and soul!

At dawn,

Zhang Fei rushed into the tent and shouted loudly,

"Big Brother, I heard you refused a team of White Horse Followers and only asked for a young personal guard?"

"Big Brother, you are confused!"

"Big Brother, you should change this personality of yours that doesn't take advantage of others!"

"Just to avoid taking advantage of Gongsun Zan, you only asked for a personal guard!"

Liu Bei rolled his eyes; this Third Brother's imagination was a bit too much!

The broadcast room burst into laughter.

"Zhang Fei is poisoned too deeply; the Big-Eared Thief doesn't take advantage?"

"Poor Fei Fei, you seem to have a misunderstanding about not taking advantage."

"Liu Bei will suffer a loss? I don't believe it anyway!"

Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Yun.

"So that personal guard is you? A fair-faced young man with no hair on his face; you don't look like you can take a beating!"

Zhao Yun cupped his hands.

"Third General, one shouldn't judge by appearances; you are being too arbitrary!"

"Oh my, with my copper-bell-sized eyes, how could I be wrong!"

Zhang Fei was furious; this personal guard actually dared to question his small eyes! That's a personal attack!

"Let's go, let's go outside and practice!"

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Bei.

"My Lord?"

Liu Bei nodded.
