Chapter 456

"My lord, we still have to go to Liu Zhang's place to drink tonight; don't forget about going to Wu Yi's house for a drink at noon."

Liu Bei?

"When did I make an appointment?"

Zhang Fei grinned,

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

Liu Bei glared at the two of them,

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

The two hurriedly cupped their hands, saying they dared not, they just wanted their big brother/lord not to be so lonely in Yizhou.

At Wu Yi's residence,

"Xuande Gong, your visit to my humble home truly makes it shine."

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

Liu Bei smiled,

"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,

"Xuande Gong, 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 of Nanzhong. Yong Kai is arrogant and domineering; this rebellion was mostly instigated by him."

Liu Bei smiled,

"Yong Chi rebelled against Gao Zu many times, and now Yong Kai has also become a rebel; it is truly..."

Everyone laughed loudly.

Liu Bei praised,

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

Zhang Fei raised his cup,

"Big brother, the big matters are discussed; can we drink happily now?"

Liu Bei nodded,

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

Wu Yi hurriedly offered a toast. He was not 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 trends, Liu Bei was a powerful figure with a very good chance of aspiring to the Han throne.

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

Liu Bei? This was forcing him onto the stage!

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 broadcast room exploded,

"The eared thief has finally stopped pretending!"

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

"What's wrong with sacrificing a little for Yizhou? Even if she's an ugly woman, isn't it the same once the candles are 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 back and forth in the courtyard.

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

"This concubine, Lady Wu, pays her respects to Xuande Gong."

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

"So Xuande Gong is so imposing and handsome, with such charisma; 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 Xuande Gong whose might shook the nine provinces.

It was a pity 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 charisma of a superior, with an excellent image.

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

Lady Wu was in her twenties, with delicate, snow-white skin, a goose-egg face, slender eyebrows, and large, bright almond eyes. Her figure was graceful, her appearance radiant, and her collarbones were especially beautiful.

Rumor had it that the first time Liu Yan saw Lady Wu, he wanted to take her in, but it was a pity 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 if it got out, which was why he wanted his third son to marry Lady Wu.

The broadcast room's barrage exploded,

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

"Her expression is both charming and dignified; top-grade!"

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

"It looks like these two have fallen for each other."

"It's obvious Lady Wu is stunned; she has to seize the opportunity. If she misses the eared thief, no one in Yizhou will dare to marry her."

Lady Wu obviously knew this was her opportunity; otherwise, if she remained a widow for the rest of her life, she would have the heart to die.

For the past few days, her dreams had all been of 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 went without saying.

Thinking of this, Lady Wu obviously blushed.

Liu Bei smiled,

"I didn't expect Yizhou to have such a peerless beauty; I have been abrupt with the lady."

Lady Wu bowed gracefully again,

"Xuande Gong, you flatter 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,

"Lady, do not blame me; I drank too much just now."

Lady Wu said in a small voice,

"I am very happy to be able to see Xuande Gong."

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

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

"I fell in love with you at first sight; would you be willing to let me take you in as my wife?"

Lady Wu was ecstatic; she finally didn't have to remain a widow. The key was that she had become a widow before she had even married, which was too miserable!

"This concubine is willing."

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

The broadcast room was sour,

"Damn it, Liu Bei got such a top-grade beauty in the blink of an eye!"

"The eared thief's reputation is too good now, and he's handsome, so everything goes his way."

"Lady Wu is the one who profited; otherwise, remaining 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,

"Ziyuan, I fell in love with your sister at first sight and wish to take her in as my wife. 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 also afraid of offending Liu Zhang; after all, this was Liu Zhang's widow-in-law in name.

Liu Bei naturally knew Wu Yi's concerns,

"No matter, I will speak to Liu Zhang; I won't make it difficult for you."

Then Wu Yi had no problem. To have the Xuande Gong, whose might shook the world, as his brother-in-law was something he couldn't ask for!

And seeing his sister remain a widow made him feel bad too.

The matter was settled just like that. Zhang Fei and Guo Jia looked at each other; their lord had truly pulled it off!
