Chapter 626

Liu Bei took Sun Shangxiang out of the room.

Zhu Rong, Lu Lingqi, and Ma Yunlu looked at Sun Shangxiang with some smugness.

"Miss Sun, not convinced? Shall we practice again?"

Sun Shangxiang was angry.

"Who's afraid of whom? Once I learn martial arts from Lord Xuande, I'll take on all three of you!"

Zhu Rong laughed heartily.

"You have quite the ambition."

Liu Bei smiled.

"Alright, don't bully Miss Sun anymore. We'll all be one family from now on."

Sun Shangxiang blushed instantly.

"Lord Xuande, I'll head back first."

Lu Lingqi smiled.

"What's there to be shy about? We'll all be sisters from now on."

Sun Shangxiang smiled, but still ran off; the young girl was still very thin-skinned.

Liu Bei looked around.

"Alright, everyone, let's head back."

Everyone rode back to the Governor's Mansion. Zhu Rong whispered,

"Husband, what did you go find that General Ye for last night?"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Naturally, to discuss how to settle the Sun family's affairs."

Zhu Rong looked at the subtle hickey on Liu Bei's neck.

"Oh, that discussion must have been quite intense!"

The broadcast room was naturally filled with barrages denouncing Liu Bei as a scumbag.

Lu Lingqi whispered,

"Husband, that Sun Quan wants to stir up trouble. Why not just kill him?"

Liu Bei put his arm around Lu Lingqi's waist.

"Sun Quan has ostensibly surrendered to me, but if I kill him, how will the people of Jiangdong view me? Who would dare surrender to me in the future?"

Ma Yunlu was thoughtful.

"So we are waiting for him to act, and then we'll wipe him out?"

Liu Bei smiled.

"The little wild horse is smart. I'll pick you tonight."

Ma Yunlu giggled and dragged Lu Lingqi off to find Lady Xu for fortune-telling.

Liu Bei came to the front hall.

Everyone was already waiting there.

Liu Bei cupped his hands.

"Everyone, I was just discussing the marriage with Shangxiang with the Dowager, so I am late."

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands.

"Congratulations, Lord Xuande. It is we who arrived early."

Liu Bei smiled.

"I have set the date for five days from now to welcome Shangxiang. You must all come to drink."

Everyone quickly indicated they would definitely come.

Liu Bei began to announce new appointments. He looked at Sun Quan.

"Everyone, I am appointing Zhongmou as the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and he will accompany me back to Chang'an."

Everyone was stunned. The position of Grand Minister of Agriculture was not low; it was one of the Nine Ministers, in charge of the scheduling of money, grain, gold, silk, currency, and the finances of the border commanderies.
