Chapter 395

"Little demon, face the wind!"

Early the next morning,

Little Qiao was jumping around.

Taishi Ci, Lu Xun, and the others were amazed.

"My lord's medical skills are actually this terrifying?!"

Liu Bei explained,

"Miss Qiao had only been infected for a short time, and I have also studied the plague quite deeply today, so..."

Everyone understood and accepted this explanation quite well.

Only Little Qiao's cheeks were flushed red, and she gave Liu Bei several flirtatious glances!

Liu Bei?

"Little Qiao hasn't been cured yet; tonight I must '570' give her medicine to remove the illness!"

A few more days passed, and the plague in Yuzhang was eliminated.

The powerful clans of Yuzhang came one after another to thank Liu Bei.

Liu Yao smiled.

"Lord Xuande, everyone is very grateful for your rescue of Yuzhang Commandery this time."

He looked at Little Qiao beside Liu Bei.

"Miss Qiao did not fear the plague and accompanied Lord Xuande across the river; it was true love and a heroine among women. Why doesn't Lord Xuande take Miss Qiao in Yuzhang? It would also be a beautiful story for the time."

Everyone praised one after another.

"The Governor's words are absolutely correct!"

"Lord Xuande and Miss Qiao are a talented man and a beautiful woman; they are a perfect match!"

"We are all here; it wouldn't be right if Lord Xuande didn't invite us to drink wedding wine."

Liu Bei also had this intention. These powerful clans of Yuzhang were all rich; he had to collect some gift money before leaving!

He stood up tall.

"Good, thank you all for your kindness. I will welcome Little Qiao tomorrow; everyone come over to have a cup of wine."

Everyone said it was good!

Nanchang City was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers.

Lord Xuande welcoming Miss Qiao here made everyone feel very honored.

Many powerful clans sent Liu Bei generous gifts, also to thank Liu Bei for curing the plague this time, and also because they wanted to go to Chang'ancheng to do business.

Liu Bei thus obtained another 200,000+ shi of grain and fodder!

Hua Xin agreed to Liu Bei's recruitment and planned to go to Chang'ancheng to take up a post.

Liu Yao did not stop him; Liu Bei saved his life and also helped him bridge the connection with Liu Biao.

Liu Bei sent Huang Zu to bring troops to assist Liu Yao to resist Sun Ce.

After all, Sun Ce and Liu Biao had the feud of killing a father, and the conflict between the two could not be reconciled.

Liu Bei also sent Liu Yao 500 warhorses, making him moved to tears.

"Xuande, you are the person with the best character I have ever known!"

Liu Yao held Liu Bei's hand with tears streaming down his face.

Liu Bei smiled.

"Brother Zhengli, we are all descendants of Emperor Gao Zu; naturally, we should help each other."

Liu Yao nodded.

"Exactly, exactly!"

Liu Bei drank everyone under the table and returned to the backyard.

Little Qiao, who had dressed up carefully, was even more beautiful and charming.

Liu Bei hugged Little Qiao's slender waist.

"Wife, tonight your husband wants to treat you thoroughly."

Little Qiao's cheeks were flushed, and she said in a delicate voice,

"Please treat me, husband..."

At noon the next day,

Liu Yao saw Liu Bei and the others off to the ship.

When they came, Liu Bei had 1,000 people; when they left, it had become nearly 100,000 people.

Not only were there the Danyang elite soldiers recruited by Taishi Ci, Lu Xun's whole family, but also tens of thousands of Yuzhang refugees who had defected to Liu Bei, as well as merchants going to Chang'ancheng to do business.

"Take care, Xuande."

Liu Bei said in a low voice,

"Brother Zhengli, if things don't go well, you can come to Chang'ancheng to find me."

Liu Yao was moved inside.

"Thank you, Xuande."

Liu Bei returned to the camp on the north bank.

Everyone was boiling over again.

They didn't expect that not only was the lord fine after going to Yuzhang, but he also gained nearly 100,000 common people and hundreds of thousands of shi of grain!

Xun You, Fa Zheng, and others bowed in submission.

"My lord's name for benevolence is too powerful!"

Miss Yuan felt a bit aggrieved; clearly, she was the first to follow Lord Xuande, but she didn't expect that little girl Little Qiao to be taken in first!

"That Miss Qiao's move was too fast!"

Big Qiao was also furious.

"Little Qiao, couldn't you have learned from Kong Rong and understood how to share the pears when you were young!"

Little Qiao said aggrievedly,

"Sister, I had no choice; I contracted the plague and needed Lord Xuande to help treat the illness..."

After Little Qiao told her the treatment method,

Big Qiao was stunned.

"Lord Xuande is truly a god-man; should I also get sick recently?"

However, her personality was quiet, not as enterprising as her sister, so she could only let nature take its course.

Liu Bei received Liu Biao's invitation and announced that they would set off tomorrow for Southern Jingzhou!

Southern Jingzhou, Xiangyang City, Governor's Mansion,

Liu Biao looked at the intelligence on the desk.

"De Gui, what do you think of this Liu Bei?"

Cai Mao cupped his hands.

"My lord, Liu Bei started from humble beginnings, but he is brave and good at fighting and is famous throughout the world for his benevolence and virtue. His prestige is extremely high. I observe his ambitions, and they are not limited to this."

Liu Biao nodded.

"Liu Bei dominates Guanzhong and overlooks the world, broke Dong Zhuo, suppressed Yuan Shao, broke Cao Cao, and defeated Sun Ce. The world looks at him sideways. With a wave of his arm, hundreds of thousands of people in Jiujiang follow him closely. I cannot compare to this prestige!"

Cai Mao hurriedly cupped his hands.

"My lord commands the nine commanderies of Jingxiang, with over 7 million people, over 200,000 armored troops, and the common people in the state live and work in peace and contentment. He is the hope of the world, stronger than that Liu Bei."

Liu Biao smiled.

"Xuande is a rare talent of our Liu family and should be drawn closer."

Liu Biao had already felt Cao Cao's threat.

Liu Bei was famous for his honesty and kindness; if he didn't provoke him, Liu Bei would definitely not attack him. Cao Cao was different; he didn't talk about martial arts...

He immediately frowned.

"Alas, my wife's illness is getting more and more serious; I'm afraid..."
