Chapter 63

Although countries mocked him one after another.

But it cannot be denied that netizens from all countries now view Liu Bei as a hypothetical enemy, which shows that Liu Bei also has the potential to compete for the world.

It is mainly because Liu Bei's early performance was too good; from a straw sandal seller, in just over a year, he became a hero admired by the entire Great Han!

"Perhaps he will create miracles again!"

The people of the Xia Kingdom naturally defended Liu Bei; although they would mock him crazily when they saw him picking up girls, that was just teasing and envy for one of their own!

Wenxi County.

A farmstead leaning against the mountains.

Hedong prominent families, including Guanqiu Xing and Pei Mao, gathered together.

Sitting at the very head was Liu Bei, who was wanted by Dong Zhuo for one hundred million coins.

Guanqiu Xing (father of the famous general Guanqiu Sun Jian) cupped his hands.

"Small"

"Inspector Liu, Dong Zhuo is lawless; he deposed the young emperor, and this time he even poisoned Emperor Emperor Hongnong. Heaven cannot tolerate this; we are willing to follow Inspector Liu to drive the Xiliang troops out of Hedong!"

"Speak"

Pei Mao (the Pei family of Hedong flourished until the Tang Dynasty; starting with Pei Ji, the entire Tang Dynasty had 17 prime ministers from the Pei family of Hedong) also cupped his hands.

"Group"

"Dong Zhuo's Xiliang troops have corrupt military discipline and are looting and killing everywhere in Hedong; we have long been unable to bear it!"

"7"

The heads of several other powerful clans also listed the evil deeds of the Xiliang troops.

"0"

Guanqiu Xing cupped his hands.

"③"

"Inspector Liu, you must stand up for the people of Hedong this time."

"2"

Liu Bei nodded, looked around, and cupped his hands to everyone.

"①"

"You are all loyal men who care about the safety of Hedong County; I admire you extremely."

"6"

Several people repeatedly said they didn't dare, but they still felt very comfortable inside; this was Liu Bei, the Liu Liu Xuande who had become famous throughout the world for assassinating Dong!

"2"

"Liu Bei said I am loyal—that's enough to brag about for a lifetime!"

"2"

Liu Bei stood up.

"0"

"Hedong is the hometown of my second brother Guan Yu, and it can be considered my half-hometown. Rest assured, everyone, I will never stand idly by; this time I will completely drive the Xiliang rebel troops out of Hedong!"

If it were normal times.

These Hedong prominent families would not dare to resist Dong Zhuo's rule, but now it was different.

Prefects everywhere were starting to oppose Dong Zhuo, and it looked like Dong Zhuo was at the end of his rope.

Moreover, there was a hero like Liu Bei.

In the past, Niu Fu was beaten to a pulp by the Baibo Army, but Liu Bei easily destroyed the Baibo Army—the difference was clear!

Taiyuan County had developed rapidly in the past few months, and the people were living and working in peace.

The young talents of the Wang and Guo families of Taiyuan were all arranged by Liu Bei to serve as county magistrates and county assistants.

These powerful clans in Hedong County saw it all; it was impossible not to be envious.

Several people discussed strategies on how to deal with Zhang Ji!

The ten thousand elite troops led by Guan Yu traveled day and night, and under the cover of the Hedong prominent families, they soon arrived near Wenxi County.

"Big Brother, you did such a big thing and didn't bring me."

Guan Yu felt a bit wronged.

Liu Bei smiled.

"Yunchang, Taiyuan and Yanmen are so peaceful now, thanks to you deterring the surroundings; with you, I can feel at ease doing things outside."

Guan Yu cupped his hands, moved.

"Thank you for your trust, Big Brother."

Liu Bei tightly grasped Guan Yu's hand.

"Yunchang, with the support of you and Zhang Yide, I have been able to walk smoothly to this day."

Guan Yu, however, said.

"Big Brother, without you, I would still be a fugitive, or at most a common soldier!"

The two looked at each other and laughed heartily.

Afterward.

Guan Yu introduced that this time, besides Gao Shun leading troops to guard Yanmen, Guo Jia, Bai Yuekui, and Hua Hua Mulan were guarding Taiyuan.

Xu Huang, Hao Zhao, Wang Ling, Hu Cai, and others had all come.

Liu Bei nodded.

"Good, this time we will defeat Zhang Ji's army in one fell swoop!"

"This scoundrel Zhang Ji, fifty years old marrying an eighteen-year-old—I must act on behalf of Heaven!"

Five days later, Anyi City was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers.

Zhang Ji was getting married today; whether they liked him or not, the people of Anyi swallowed their anger, and every household hung red lanterns to show congratulations.

"Fifty years old marrying an eighteen-year-old—this Zhang Ji is truly shameless!"

"My family's chicken was snatched by the Xiliang troops, saying it was to celebrate!"

"That's nothing; Butcher Zhang's wife was violated, and when he went to report it to the officials, he was beaten half to death."

"I hope Zhang Ji drinks himself to death today!"

The people of Anyi were secretly 'blessing' Zhang Ji and his Xiliang soldiers in their hearts!

Zhang Ji was very happy today.

The Hedong prominent families were very respectful, sending many people to attend the wedding, and the gifts were piled up like a mountain.

At the post house.

The bride-to-be, Lady Zou, felt bitter; this Zhang Ji was older than her father, and she heard he was old and fierce-looking.

"Alas, why is my fate so bitter? Why can't I be like a talented woman like Cai Yan, marrying the most upright hero of the Great Han, Liu Liu Xuande!"

Lady Zou pitied herself and secretly wiped away tears in front of the bronze mirror.

"Young lady, it seems you don't truly want to marry that old man Zhang Ji."

Liu Bei pushed the door open and walked in.

Lady Zou was startled; the man who walked in was handsome, imposing, and had a noble air, though his ears were a bit large.

"Who are you? How dare you come to my boudoir?"

Liu Bei was also observing Lady Zou.

Her figure was graceful, her body was top-notch, her temperament was refined, her appearance was beautiful, and a pair of fox eyes were very charming! She was highly recognizable!

"No wonder Boss Cao lost his eldest son, eldest nephew, and great general Dian Wei for her—she is indeed a top-tier beauty."

Liu Bei smiled.

"Naturally, I am from your family, sent to take you to Zhang Ji to get married."

Lady Zou was clever and stared at Liu Bei.

"You want to assassinate Zhang Ji? What great courage! Who exactly are you?"
