Chapter 62

Bai Yuekui and Hua Hua Mulan in Taiyuan also received the reward: +8 Physique.

Bai Yuekui sighed with emotion.

"Sister Hua Mulan, this captain is truly far-sighted; I'm starting to admire him a bit."

Hua Hua Mulan smiled.

"It's not just you; Lady Cai and Lady Gan couldn't admire their husband more—I reckon they would be happy to do whatever Liu Bei asks."

Bai Yuekui's face turned red.

"Sister Hua Mulan, why are you making dirty jokes for no reason?"

Hua Hua Mulan: "??"

"Sister Bai, you've got a dirty mind!"

The American public also received certain rewards because of Cao Cao's assassination attempt.

However, compared to the Xia Kingdom, it was much worse.

"+1 Physique? 20% grain production increase? The gap is so huge!"

People in many countries around the world wanted to become Xia Kingdom citizens at this moment!

"If the Big-Eared Thief is caught, he's definitely a dead man!"

"Dong Zhuo hates him the most now; he won't be able to stay in Taiyuan either!"

Netizens from India, Japan, and South Korea were constantly sour!

"Ding Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan Shu have already recruited troops and bought horses; those Ding Yuan family disciples are sending money and grain, and powerful clans are bringing men to join—the momentum is huge!"

"Liu Bei gained reputation, but his foundation is still too poor!"

"Just wait for Dong Zhuo to deal with him specifically."

Cao Cao only realized when he ran to Zhongmu County.

"What? Liu Bei also assassinated Dong Zhuo, and his bounty is one hundred million coins? I'm only ten million? Who is this Dong Zhuo looking down on!"

Cao Cao felt bitter; he had assassinated Dong Zhuo, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to do it too, and do it much better than him—his spotlight was completely stolen by Liu Bei!

Captain America's mouth twitched; his lord's focus was a bit off.

Hawkeye looked around vigilantly; they had escaped safely without any danger along the way!

"My lord, where are we going now?"

With the protection of Captain America and Hawkeye, Cao Cao was not captured by Chen Gong this time, nor did he go to Lu Lu Boshe's house, but went directly to Chen Liu.

In this way, Boss Cao also avoided one of the great mysteries of the ages: when Lu Lu Boshe's family was sharpening their knives, were they really killing a pig, or were they killing Cao Cao?

Jia Xu, who had started working under Niu Fu far away from Luoyang, felt ten thousand grass-mud horses galloping through his heart after seeing the news of Liu Bei's assassination attempt!

"This Liu Bei is actually this treacherous; he even fooled me!"

When Jia Xu was young, he was praised for having the wisdom of Zhang Zhang Liang and Chen Ping; this time, he had truly taken a big fall!

Li Ru sent a letter saying Dong Zhuo had almost executed him, but fortunately, Li Ru had dissuaded him.

"Liu Bei has great ambitions; I have truly misjudged him!"

At the seat of Hedong County, Anyi City.

Wei Ji cupped his hands.

"General Zhang, Liu Bei has the heart of a wolf; he actually dared to assassinate the Prime Minister. I have already contacted the prominent families of Hedong; as soon as Liu Bei enters Hedong County, they will report it immediately."

Zhang Ji nodded.

"Good, if we can capture Liu Bei this time, I will request a reward for you!"

Wei Ji valued the reward, but he valued destroying Liu Bei even more.

His younger brother, Wei Zhongdao, had not been able to marry Cai Yan to improve his health and had now passed away; the family blamed all these things on Liu Bei and Cai Yan!

His old mother nagged every day, blaming that pair of adulterers, Cai Yan and Liu Bei!

Zhang Ji wanted to kill Liu Bei even more.

He knew clearly how much Dong Zhuo hated Liu Bei; moreover, he was nearly fifty years old and had only been a Captain before, only recently promoted to General of the Household.

"As long as I kill Liu Bei, the position of Inspector of Bingzhou is mine!"

Wei Ji cupped his hands.

"General Zhang, for your wedding in five days, I have already contacted many powerful clans; they will definitely come to have a wedding drink."

Zhang Ji laughed; he could collect gifts!

"Good, I will await your arrival."

Wei Ji muttered to himself inwardly.

"He's over fifty and still getting married, and to an eighteen-year-old young lady—this Zhang Ji is truly shameless!"

According to his understanding, the wife Zhang Ji was about to marry was the daughter of the Zou family, a powerful clan in Guzang, Wuwei County, and she was very beautiful!

Dong Zhuo sent men to poison the deposed Emperor Emperor Hongnong and Empress He, and proclaimed himself Grand Tutor; although he could not attend court for the time being, he still monopolized the government!

Cao Cao was extremely angry when he learned that Empress He had been poisoned; was it really that hard to pick up the pieces?!

He issued a prepared forged edict in Chen Liu, calling on heroes of the world to come and crusade against Dong Zhuo.

The prefects and inspectors of the world, especially the Guandong warlords, had endured Dong Zhuo for a long time; seeing someone take the lead, they responded one after another!

Cao Cao recruited troops in Chen Liu, exhausted his family wealth, and several angel investors, such as Wei Hong, came forward.

His father also provided huge funds to help.

Relatives from his family, such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Ding Yuan, each brought one or two thousand men to join!

Good generals like Yue Jin and Li Dian also came to join!

Cao Cao's momentum was extremely high for a time!

American netizens flocked to the Xia Kingdom's live stream to show off.

"See that? Although Cao Cao had his thunder stolen by Liu Bei, with a wave of his arm, so many people came to join him!"

"Look at these Xiahou brothers; they look extraordinary in martial arts. Cao Ren, Yue Jin, and Li Dian are also good generals, and Xi Zhicai is much more famous than Guo Jia at Yingchuan Academy!"

"The end of the Han Dynasty is also an era of relying on your father; with Boss Cao's family wealth and reputation, with a wave of his hand, his son was armed!"

Japanese netizens also came.

"Our Ding Yuan Benchu has an even higher reputation; he raised thirty thousand troops in Bohai just like that, and gained several great generals like Yan Zhang Liang and Wen Chou!"

"The Ding Yuan family disciples provide money and effort; Ding Yuan Shao doesn't have to worry about troops, horses, or grain at all."

"The various warlords intend to elect Ding Yuan Shao as the leader."

"How am I, Ding Yuan Gonglu, inferior to anyone? I occupy Nanyang County, which is the place where Liu Xiu started his rise! Nanyang County has a population of over two million, more than the entire population of Youzhou!"

"When the heroes truly rise, Liu Bei's connections and power won't be enough to look at."

PS: Thanks to the big boss... for the generous reward! Asking the readers for data again, thank you very much.
