Chapter 616

Liu Bei was somewhat confused,

"That... Xu woman, how does this come about?"

The Xu woman's face was flushed red, somewhat embarrassed,

"Xuande, I originally calculated that my marriage was with Sun Yi, but who knew that this marriage changed before."

Liu Bei waved his hand,

"I first want to ask, what does two lives in one body mean?"

The Xu woman was also only half-understanding,

"It might be dragon energy; I don't understand it very well either."

"Dragon energy?!" Guo Jia's eyes lit up; this could actually be used for propaganda.

He cupped his hands and said,

"My lord, since it is a marriage arranged by Heaven, you should not go against Heaven."

Liu Bei was left speechless by Guo Jia; that not taking the Xu woman would be going against Heaven—could he be any more ridiculous?

Liu Bei sized up the Xu woman from top to bottom,

To tell the truth, this girl's figure and appearance were extremely good, she valued her reputation, and her personality was the type Liu Bei appreciated,

it was just that the speed was a bit fast... he had been caught off guard.

Liu Bei coughed,

"Xu woman, since it is destined by Heaven, then I have nothing to say. How about I take you into the house three days from now?"

The Xu woman bowed gracefully,

"Thank you, Xuande."

Liu Bei nodded; this Xu woman was quite polite, but to be thanked for taking her—he really was a popular commodity!

"Thank you too."

The Xu woman was amused by Liu Bei and covered her mouth, laughing softly.

Liu Bei called Bu Lianshi and asked her to go to the back courtyard to keep the Xu woman company and chat.

The broadcast room barrage exploded,

"I like this fortune-telling young lady too; calculate for me, maybe we have a connection!"

"I suspect this Xu woman has taken a fancy to Liu Bei and is just too embarrassed to say it."

"She's so beautiful, and her personality is so unique; my Brother Bei has earned it!"

"After plucking Sun Quan's wool, the Eared Thief has now set his sights on Sun Yi."

"To the person above, this time it seems like the Xu woman set her sights on Liu Bei."

Guo Jia's eyes were already red,

"Being able to meet my lord is the greatest fortune of my life; just as the Xu woman said, if it weren't for my lord, I might already be dead."

Liu Bei held Guo Jia's hand,

"Fengxiao, why say such things between the two of us?"

Guo Jia nodded,

"My lord is wise; this Xu woman designed the revenge for Sun Yi, and her prestige in Danyang and even Jiangdong is very high."

"If my lord takes her, it will just happen to bring you closer to the people of Jiangdong, and Sun Yi's former subordinates also admire the Xu woman; my lord can also win them over."

Liu Bei nodded; it seemed his decision was still quite good.

That day,

Liu Bei announced to the outside world that he would take the Xu woman as a concubine in three days and that everyone should come to drink wedding wine; he naturally gained the support of the Danyang noble clans.

Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Taishi Ci, and others were currently at the recruitment center outside the city.

Zhang Fei sighed with emotion,

"I didn't expect that Danyang really produces elite troops; there's not much difference between new recruits and veterans of two or three years; they just need training in formation and coordination."

Wei Yan and the others also had eyes shining; these soldiers would be their subordinates in the future, so they had to be selected carefully.

The recruitment activities in Danyang Commandery were in full swing.

Three days later,

Liu Bei took the Xu woman as a concubine, making the people of Danyang Commandery identify with him even more, and the Danyang noble clans were also drunk under the table by them.

Returning to the inner chamber,

Bu Lianshi was chatting with the Xu woman.

When the two saw Liu Bei enter, they both bowed gracefully,

"Husband, greetings."

Liu Bei laughed,

"Greetings, my two ladies."

The Xu woman was even more beautiful after being carefully made up; happy events make people refreshed. The Xu woman looked at Liu Bei with eyes like silk.

The two soon completed the ceremony with Bu Lianshi's help.

Bu Lianshi covered her mouth and giggled, closing the bedroom door.

Liu Bei sat beside the Xu woman,

"My lady, I have a question."

"Husband, speak."

"If it weren't destined by Heaven, would you not have married me?"

The Xu woman shook her head and said with unusual firmness,

"To be able to marry a great hero who is world-renowned, I would naturally be very willing; besides, this great hero is handsome and understands me especially well."

Liu Bei hugged her slender waist and laughed,

"Then I have no more questions; we can..."

The Xu woman, however, took out a tortoise shell,

"Husband, let me cast a hexagram first; tonight..."

Liu Bei's fire ignited,

"Miss Xu, once you've entered my house, this matter is no longer up to you."

The Xu woman cried like rain on pear blossoms; she hadn't expected that Xuande not only wouldn't let her divine but was also a bit brutal!

On Liu Bei's side, taking concubines and recruiting soldiers were in full swing!

Over in Wu Jun, however, there was a chorus of wailing.

Sun Quan returned to Wu Jun to discuss matters with people, but he always felt that the way these people looked at him was wrong—disdain? Distrust?
