Chapter 60

There was much discussion in the live stream.

"Cao Cao was in such danger; he almost met his end there."

"Patriotic middle-aged Cao Cao must be okay!"

"I was so scared I didn't dare to make a sound, fearing I'd wake Dong Zhuo."

"Cao Cao is still unprofessional; he should have wrapped the blade in cloth so there wouldn't be any glint."

"Holy crap, everyone else is going to catch Cao Cao, and the Big-Eared Thief is coming to suck up to Dong Zhuo again?"

At this moment.

Liu Bei came trotting to the Prime Minister's mansion, shouting.

"Prime Minister, are you alright!"

"I really didn't expect that scoundrel Cao Cao to be so ungrateful; he actually wanted to assassinate you—he deserves to die!"

Dong Zhuo was also depressed and felt extremely wronged.

"Liu Xuande, this Meng De has truly broken my heart!"

"I treated him so well, even gave him a fine horse, and he actually wanted to kill me!"

Liu Bei launched into a tirade, criticizing Cao Cao until he was worthless, which made Dong Zhuo feel slightly better.

"Liu Xuande, you are still the best; you are truly loyal."

Dong Zhuo pointed to the Seven-Star Precious Sword on the ground.

"Cao Cao Aman used this very sword to try and assassinate me!"

Liu Bei looked around; Lu Bu and the others were not there. He picked up the sword.

"The sword is a fine one, but it's a pity the owner who used it is a bit useless!"

Dong Zhuo was shocked! What did that mean!

A murderous aura suddenly appeared in Liu Bei's eyes; he kicked Dong Zhuo to the ground and prepared to stab him in the kidney!

[Ding, Liu Bei, you are currently assassinating Dong Zhuo. If you cause Dong Zhuo serious injury or death, you will be directly judged as having failed the quest for hegemony!]

The voice of the World System rang in Liu Bei's mind!

Liu Bei shifted his hand, and the Seven-Star Precious Sword stabbed into Dong Zhuo's fat buttocks!

"Old thief Dong Zhuo, I endured humiliation and bore burdens just to kill you, the traitor of the nation!"

Dong Zhuo let out a miserable shriek.

"Ah! Someone come!"

He was very confused inside; Liu Bei had been eating and drinking well at his mansion all day, and he had even promoted him—how had he been enduring humiliation and bearing burdens!

Guards rushed over.

Liu Bei pulled the sword out abruptly, and Dong Zhuo let out another miserable shriek, rolling on the ground several times as blood stained the floor.

The cost was high, but he had managed to hide behind the guards!

Safe!

Liu Bei leaped up, killed two guards who rushed at him with one strike, and without any hesitation, ran toward the outside.

The guards rushing in along the way were caught off guard and fell to Liu Bei's lethal strikes!

Shouts of battle also came from outside the gate.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei led troops to kill the unprepared guards and reunited with Liu Bei!

"Zhao Zilong, Zhang Yide, let's go quickly!"

The three of them, along with a dozen men, leaped onto their horses and rode frantically toward the city gate.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye; most of the guards at Dong Zhuo's mansion hadn't even reacted yet!

Arriving at the city gate.

Liu Bei happened to run into Lu Bu, who was returning.

"Fengxian, has that dog thief Cao Cao been caught?"

Lu Bu shook his head, somewhat depressed.

"His horse was good, and he had a head start, so I didn't catch him."

Liu Bei frowned.

"The Prime Minister is furious; I will go and pursue him further!"

"Giddyap!"

Liu Bei led his men out of the city smoothly!

Lu Bu spat at Liu Bei's retreating back.

"Pah, bootlicker, all he knows is how to lick boots!"

And just like that, Liu Bei left the city smoothly!

He led Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to the military camp outside the city, and with two thousand cavalry, they sped toward the north!

The live stream exploded.

"Holy crap, the Big-Eared Thief is awesome! Fat Dong got stabbed in the leg, and it's full of blood!"

"The Big-Eared Thief is too treacherous. The so-called 'darkness under the lamp'—who would have thought that right after Cao Cao finished his assassination, he would go and assassinate him too!"

"That simpleton Lu Bu was tricked left and right!"

"Dong Zhuo is so pitiful; his heart was broken twice in one day—too heartbreaking!"

"Fat Dong has finally experienced the evil of society!"

At Dong Zhuo's mansion.

Dong Zhuo lay on his couch, his face pale.

"Liu Bei is shameless, despicable, and extremely treacherous! Ouch, it hurts!"

Li Ru's eyelids twitched; this Liu Bei was indeed treacherous, actually knowing how to utilize such a fleeting opportunity!

"My lord, I have already ordered men to pursue him!"

Lu Bu, standing nearby, regretted it to death; Liu Bei had been right in front of him just now—such a great merit, and he had just let him slip away!

"Alas, my blockhead!"

He didn't dare to say this out loud; if Dong Zhuo knew, he would probably scold him again!

Dong Zhuo was furious.

"Quick, go and kill Liu Bei's family for me!"

Although Cao Cao had broken his heart, he hadn't physically harmed him!

Liu Bei had not only broken his heart but also stabbed him in the back, meaning he would need at least a month or two to recover—forget about any beauties for now!

Li Ru stammered.

"My lord, Liu Bei did not establish any property in Luoyang; his father-in-law's family has already moved to Taiyuan, and his teacher, Lu Zhi, has also gone to Youzhou."

Dong Zhuo cursed loudly.

"That Big-Eared Thief is hateful; it turns out he had already planned his escape route, and I was completely unaware. Quick, issue a warrant for this thief immediately!"

"Ouch!"

Dong Zhuo moved too much, aggravating his wound, and let out another miserable shriek.

"Offer a reward of one hundred million coins for the Big-Eared Thief!"

Li Ru cupped his hands.

"And that thief Cao Cao?"

"Offer a reward of ten million coins!"

Lu Bu was stunned; the gap between the two was a bit large—it seemed Liu Bei had caused his foster father too much damage!

Li Ru added.

"My lord, Cao Cao will likely flee toward Chen Liu, where he has many old friends and relatives. Liu Bei will flee toward Taiyuan County, where he has twenty thousand troops."

Dong Zhuo hummed.

"Tell Zhang Ji, who is in Hedong, to intercept and kill Liu Bei for me! He must kill this thief; I will grant him a marquisate and make him Inspector of Bingzhou!"

"Understood!"

Lu Bu regretted it to death; Inspector of Bingzhou—the opportunity had slipped through his hands again!
