Chapter 42

Cao Cao also advised,

"Xuande, Lord Lu has experienced many ups and downs and has a great reputation; he might not be in trouble. You don't need to be so anxious."

Tears welled up in Liu Bei's eyes, and he sighed deeply.

"Everyone, Lu Shi treated me extremely well. Ten years ago, he taught me many things, and I have always regarded him as a role model. Hearing this news, I am a bit at a loss."

Zhu Jun sighed.

"Xuande is truly loyal and righteous!"

Huangfu Song also nodded. In this day and age, such loyal and righteous people were too rare; there were plenty of sycophants who curried favor with the Ten Eunuchs!

Liu Bei cupped his hands.

"The three of you, I will set out for Guang Sect immediately. Farewell."

Huangfu Song grabbed him.

"Xuande, the Ten Eunuchs have too much power; don't be impulsive."

Liu Bei nodded.

"Thank you for your concern, General Huangfu. My journey is to escort Lu Shi to Luoyang; I will not be impulsive."

Huangfu Song was moved again and advised sincerely,

"Xuande, you killed Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang and have great merit. If you do this, won't you offend the Ten Eunuchs? Your official career is worrying."

Liu Bei shook his head and said firmly,

"Lu Shi treated me extremely well, and the Ten Eunuchs are corrupting the government. How could I compromise with these eunuchs for the sake of an official career!"

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other.

"Xuande is truly Brother Zigan's proudest student! Good, what ambition! You have the backbone of Brother Zigan!"

"Rest assured, we will report your merit in killing Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to the imperial court truthfully."

Cao Cao also said from the side,

"Lord Lu has his own destiny; Xuande, you don't need to worry too much."

Liu Bei cupped his hands and leaped onto his horse.

"Everyone, take care!"

Watching Liu Bei's receding back,

Huangfu Song murmured,

"Xuande is of high righteousness!"

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were also moved to tears by Liu Bei.

Guan Yu sighed.

"Guan prides himself on loyalty and righteousness, but compared to Big Brother, it's like heaven and earth!"

Zhao Yun sighed.
