Chapter 548

"This woman is alright; she looks quite smart and has courage. Her genes should be good!"

"The girl has also taken a liking to him; she looks like she's almost drooling over my Brother Bei!"

Just then, Pang Tong rode over to report.

"My lord, the rogue soldiers have basically been killed, but several hundred commoners have also been killed."

Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"Have the soldiers continue searching for routed troops; anyone found plundering the people is to be executed without mercy!"

"Understood!"

Hearing the words 'my lord', the woman in the carriage couldn't help but have her eyes light up; her eyes rolled, and she cried out.

"My head is so dizzy!"

Her body swayed, and she fell toward Liu Bei outside the carriage.

Liu Bei??

"Did I just get scammed?"

He still hurriedly caught her; warm fragrance entered his arms!

Liu Bei, who hadn't tasted meat in three months, smelled the faint fragrance on the woman and hugged her tighter.

The woman's eyes were closed, her eyelashes were long, and her face was full of collagen...

Pang Tong had excellent eyesight and hurriedly cupped his hands.

"My lord, we have also been on the road for a day, and the weather is cold; we should head to the Wenxian seat to take shelter from the wind and snow first."

Liu Bei nodded.

"That's fine!"

The commoners had originally feared the rogue soldiers, but hearing that Lord Liu Xuande had led troops to arrive, they walked onto the streets one after another, bringing vegetables and wine to Liu Bei's army.

"It's a good thing Lord Liu Xuande came; otherwise, we would have been wiped out by the rogue soldiers."

"Indeed, Lord Liu Xuande's soldiers have such good discipline; Cao Cao and Yuan Shao don't do good things!"

"Lord Liu Xuande, please take Henei Commandery so that we can also live a good life."

"Eh, who is the woman in Lord Liu Xuande's arms?"

"I heard she was snatched by the rogue soldiers and saved by Lord Liu Xuande."

"She's also pitiful; please, Lord Liu Xuande, take her in, otherwise she has nowhere to go."

Everyone didn't know the situation and thought she had been snatched by rogue soldiers—they didn't know if anything had happened—and now that she was being held by Lord Liu Xuande, if this girl didn't follow Lord Liu Xuande, she really had nowhere to go.

Liu Bei felt more and more that the girl in his arms was scamming him.

"To actually latch onto her savior; this girl's IQ is not low."

Liu Bei stayed temporarily in the county government office in the city; the original county magistrate had long since run off without a trace.

Liu Bei tucked the quilt in for the woman.

The woman suddenly woke up, hugging Liu Bei's arm with a pitiful expression, and said in a delicate voice.

"Benefactor, this little woman is all alone and has nowhere to go; please, benefactor, take me in."

Liu Bei was ignited by her expression, so he simply stopped pretending; after all, the woman was lonely and helpless, and he was just doing one good deed a day!

Liu Bei taught the woman advanced chatting techniques, leaving her drenched in sweat.

The two chatted more and more enthusiastically.

Liu Bei exclaimed.

"Your name is Zhang Chunhua?!"

The woman was puzzled.

"Yes, benefactor, do you know me?"

0 ······Seeking flowers····· ·······

Liu Bei shook his head.

"I don't!"

He continued to bury himself in chatting, thinking to himself.

"Am I letting down Military Sima Yi, or am I letting down Military Sima Zhao?"

After a long time, Zhang Chunhua curled up in Liu Bei's arms, recounting her 'tragic' encounter.

"Benefactor, my family sent me to Wenxian to get married, but I didn't expect to encounter the chaos of war, and that Military Sima family ran off without even saying a word!"

"I had just arrived outside Wenxian, and the servants in my family were all killed; fortunately, my father is in poor health and didn't come this time."

(Group number)

"If it weren't for you, benefactor, I fear I would have already met a tragic end!"

Liu Bei pinched the warm cotton ball.

"This Military Sima family is indeed not decent; from now on, you will follow me."

Zhang Chunhua had been waiting for these words; her eyes shone, and she thought to herself.

"The ancients were right: after the darkest hour comes the dawn. Although I was almost caught, I met Lord Liu Xuande. Hehe, life will be good from now on. If my father knew I didn't marry Military Sima Yi but followed Lord Liu Xuande instead, he would probably be overjoyed!"

Zhang Chunhua said in a delicate voice.

"Lord Liu Xuande, there were some things I didn't understand just now; please teach me more."

........... 0

Liu Bei was naturally fond of being a teacher and satisfied her reasonable request!

He sighed inwardly.

"So much for pursuing the Cao army; how did Military Sima Yi's wife disappear? What about Military Sima Zhao's ambition? What about Emperor Wu of Jin? What a disaster!"

Thinking of this, Liu Bei seemed even more motivated.

Zhang Chunhua was moved to tears, "Benefactor is truly brave and skilled in battle; this slave admires you, woo woo woo."

Early the next morning, Liu Bei left the bedroom under Zhang Chunhua's service.

Pang Tong was already waiting there.

"My lord, the rogue soldiers in Wenxian have basically been cleared out."

"The Military Sima family had already crossed the Yellow River with their whole household before the rogue soldiers arrived, heading toward Yuzhou."

"The messenger they sent to notify Zhang Chunhua's carriage team was killed by the rogue soldiers' cavalry, so they missed each other."

Liu Bei frowned.

"So this Military Sima family went to rely on Cao Cao?"

"My lord, Military Sima Lang was already working under Cao Cao."

Liu Bei didn't know how much of a decision-making role Military Sima Yi had played in this.

"This Military Sima Yi is planning to suck the Cao family dry, isn't he?"

Pang Tong reported other matters.

"My lord, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others have already pursued out of Henei Commandery and arrived in Wei Jun."

Liu Bei nodded.

"The defenses of Ye City are extremely strong; let them show off their might in Wei Jun and then return."

"Understood!"

Liu Bei did not expect that.

Ma Chao and Zhang Liao, after a fierce charge, had also caught a big fish for him.

Yuan Shao's most beloved third son, Yuan Shang, had been caught by Zhang Liao!

Liu Bei, having nothing to do, pacified the scholar-official families of Wenxian and went to the inner courtyard to pacify Zhang Chunhua's heart.

"Chunhua, the Military Sima family has already crossed the Yellow River with their whole household and gone to defect to Cao Cao."

Zhang Chunhua spat.

"Shameless Military Sima Yi, to run off without even saying a word!"

Liu Bei naturally didn't say that Military Sima Yi had actually sent someone to notify her.

"I have already sent people to Pinggao to notify and protect your father."

Zhang Chunhua bowed gracefully.

"Thank you, benefactor."
