Chapter 508

Chang'an City was decorated with lanterns and colored banners,

Lord Liu Xuande returned from his campaign, connecting Yizhou and Guanzhong,

Yizhou's Shu brocade, jewelry, ivory, and other specialties were selling well in Chang'an, and Guanzhong's specialties were also being transported to Yizhou in a steady stream.

The people's lives were getting better and better; compared to the Ling Emperor's reign, it was like heaven and earth, not to mention the time when Li Jue and Guo Si were causing chaos in Chang'an.

Li Jue had long been beheaded by the Xiliang people.

Today was a great day for Liu Bei,

He was going to take Da Qiao, the zither teacher at home who had been longing for him,

Liu Bei first went out of the city to welcome the remnants of Brother Brother Gongsun Zan Zan, his son Brother Gongsun Zan Xu, Yan Gang, Tian Yu, and others,

"Nephew, how about working in my Chang'an from now on?"

Brother Gongsun Zan Xu cupped his hands,

"Thank you, Uncle."

Liu Bei patted his shoulder and went to visit Brother Brother Gongsun Zan Zan's family.

Afterwards, he chatted with Yan Gang and Tian Yu,

"Yan Gang, I appoint you as the Colonel Protector of the Wuhuan."

"Thank you, my lord."

"Tian Yu, I appoint you as the Colonel Protector of the Western Xianbei."

"Thank you, my lord."

Both were grateful in their hearts; after their defeat, they were originally terrified, but they didn't expect Lord Liu Xuande not only to rescue them but also to appoint them as Colonels.

"I have already prepared houses for you two in Chang'an. After settling your families and drinking my wedding wine, go to Yanmen Commandery to assist General Zhao Zilong."

"Yes!"

Everyone drank until they were swaying in the General of the Cavalry's mansion,

Pang Tong said enviously,

"My lord, I envy you so much; the beauties of the Great Han legends are almost all in your hands."

Liu Bei patted Pang Tong's shoulder,

"Pang Shiyuan, you took one in Nanzhong and another in Shu Commandery; you're living so well, yet you still envy me?"

Pang Tong chuckled,

"My lord, it wasn't taught to me by 640 Military Advisor Guo; if you want to understand the local customs, you have to learn from the person on your pillow."

Guo Jia??

"Pang Pang Shiyuan, you want to take a concubine yourself, and you're throwing this pot at me?"

"Today I must drink you under the table!"

Pang Tong pulled Lu Su, who had a good tolerance for alcohol,

"Lu Zijing, save me!"

Liu Bei greeted Zhang Ren to drink,

"Are you and the soldiers used to living in Guanzhong?"

Zhang Ren cupped his hands,

"My lord, the soldiers' pay has tripled, and everyone is very motivated, wanting to build merit and share land; it would be even better if they were given a concubine."

Liu Bei smiled,

"Tell the soldiers to train well; the great war is not far off, and there will be plenty of opportunities to build merit."

"Yes!"

Late at night, Liu Bei finished entertaining everyone and returned to the inner courtyard.

Xiao Qiao and Beauty Feng helped Liu Bei into the room,

The girls at home were all accompanying Da Qiao to chat,

Seeing Liu Bei walk in, they all bowed gracefully,

"Congratulations, husband."

Liu Bei laughed loudly,

"Congratulations to us all!"

Liu Bei looked at Da Qiao, who was dressed up,
