Chapter 90

Wang Yun was quite righteous; if Liu Bei hadn’t known this guy’s history, he would have almost believed him!

After Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, he became increasingly arrogant and complacent, becoming a powerful minister himself, but he lacked the ability and couldn’t control the Xiliang generals, eventually being forced to jump off the city gate to his death!

Liu Bei held Miss Diao Chan’s hand,

“Commandant, Miss Diao Chan and I are in love and are a perfect match; I hope the Commandant will grant us your blessing.”

Wang Yun cursed secretly; what was bound to happen was happening!

Miss Diao Chan’s face turned red instantly, but she didn’t pull her hand away from Liu Bei’s; her heart was full of hope, excitement, and fear!

“The Big-Eared Thief is awesome; he’s already made his move!”

“Miss Miss Diao Chan’s expectant and conflicted expression is beautiful!”

“Old scoundrel Wang Yun, wanting to sacrifice Miss Diao Chan—is a beauty destined for a tragic life?!”

“This time I support the Big-Eared Thief; it’s a pity I can’t go there in person!”

Wang Yun coughed; Liu Bei was fiercer than Lu Bu, so he naturally couldn’t fight him by force and could only use righteousness to suppress him!

“Liu Xuande, I know you have always been loyal and righteous, and I won’t hide it from you—I have a great use for Miss Diao Chan, Lu Bu...”

Wang Yun wanted to say more, but Liu Bei interrupted him,

“Commandant, Miss Diao Chan is a weak woman; has our Great Han truly fallen to the point where we need to sacrifice a weak woman?”

“The entire court is full of civil and military officials and countless warriors—are they all useless? Do they need a woman to sacrifice herself?!”

“When I assassinated Dong, I never thought about letting someone else take my place!”

Liu Bei spoke with force, and Miss Diao Chan was naturally moved to tears.

Wang Yun also couldn’t help but blush; this matter was indeed not very honorable, but it was a pity that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired!

“Liu Xuande, in this time of crisis for the Great Han, I don’t want to... but...”

Liu Bei was furious; was Wang Yun’s heart this small? Was he just staring at Miss Diao Chan?!

He coughed and pulled out the Seven-Star Precious Sword from his waist!

Wang Yun was shocked; this Liu Liu Xuande wasn’t enough with words and was now resorting to force!

“Liu Xuande, don’t be excited.”

Liu Bei smiled,

“Commandant, I’m not excited; I just wanted to give this precious sword to you—this Seven-Star Precious Sword is the sharp weapon I used to assassinate Dong!”

Wang Yun’s heart skipped a beat; wasn’t this the one he gave to Cao Cao,

“If Dong Zhuo sees this Seven-Star Precious Sword, won’t he tear me apart!”

Liu Bei continued to smile,

“Cao Cao originally took advantage of the opportunity to present the sword to assassinate Dong Zhuo; to be honest, this precious sword is truly sharp—I don’t know where Cao Cao got it.”

Wang Yun’s heart skipped another beat!

“That night, I met Miss Diao Chan in the backyard by chance, and we chatted very happily.”

Miss Diao Chan’s neck turned red; why was he talking about this again!

Liu Bei held Miss Diao Chan’s hand and laughed,

“When I just came out, I happened to see Meng De and the Commandant, and Meng De seemed to have...”

Wang Yun hurriedly waved his hand and interjected,

“Liu Xuande, what did you just say?”

“Cao Cao assassinated Dong...”

“No, the sentence before that!”

Liu Bei understood,

“Miss Diao Chan and I are a perfect match; I hope the Commandant will grant us your blessing.”

Wang Yun laughed loudly,

“Haha, I have always treated Miss Diao Chan as my own daughter; now that there is a world-famous hero like Liu Xuande who is both civil and martial and has a good destination for Miss Diao Chan, I am very satisfied!”

“Very satisfied!”

Miss Diao Chan??

She was completely bewildered, her little face full of confusion, her desire for knowledge extremely strong!

She vaguely guessed, but didn’t dare to be sure.

Liu Bei squeezed Miss Diao Chan’s hand, signaling to talk in detail later,

“Commandant, I think so too; shall we settle it like this?”

Wang Yun nodded firmly,

“It must be settled like this!”

“Miss Diao Chan, from now on, you will follow Liu Xuande and live a good life.”

Miss Diao Chan bowed deeply,

“Many thanks to my foster father for your blessing, and many thanks for your upbringing.”

Liu Bei said in a low voice,

“Commandant, rest assured; the disciples of the Taiyuan Wang clan are all very excellent, and I will use them heavily.”

Wang Yun nodded; actually, this Liu Bei was not bad.

The two discussed it for a while.

Wang Yun suddenly left with his servants, cursing and swearing; it seemed as if he had been taken advantage of by Liu Bei!

Liu Bei curled his lip,

“Old scoundrel, it’s a pity you didn’t go into acting!”

Miss Diao Chan??

“Lord Liu, what is going on? My foster father even asked me to perform the chain strategy yesterday...”

Liu Bei looked at Miss Diao Chan’s delicate face and held her soft, slender hand,

“Want to know? Call me husband and let me hear it.”

Miss Diao Chan pouted and rolled her eyes beautifully,

“Hmph, so the world-famous Liu Liu Xuande is actually a scoundrel who bullies weak women!”

Liu Bei laughed loudly,

“Alright, when we return to Anyi and face the candles, I will talk to you in detail; rest assured, I won’t make you cry.”

Miss Diao Chan knew Liu Bei had serious business to do, so she very obediently took her maid and didn’t disturb Liu Bei; her heart was beautiful, and she was happy just thinking about her future life!

Liu Bei had Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Zhang Liao organize the surrendered troops while organizing the commoners to march toward Maojin Ferry.

“Fellow villagers, I have prepared houses for the winter in Hedong and Taiyuan, and I have prepared grain; everyone go there to spend the winter first.”

Liu Bei soothed the many Luoyang commoners, letting them go to Hedong with peace of mind.

The Luoyang commoners were initially anxious; Luoyang had already been burned, Chang’an was not a place to go, and they had experienced firsthand how brutal Dong Zhuo’s Xiliang soldiers were!

These people were worried about having nowhere to go, and Liu Bei had sent them a pillow—how could they not be moved?

Hundreds of thousands of commoners were all speaking of Liu Bei’s goodness.

Many commoners said to Miss Diao Chan,

“Miss, your husband, Inspector Liu, is truly a good man.”

“I say Inspector Liu is the best person in the entire Great Han!”

“And also the bravest person!”

Miss Diao Chan thanked them while feeling beautiful inside; she had a feeling of running from hell to heaven!

Many people in the livestream barrage were also sighing,

“Liu Bei did the right thing this time!”

“I see Cao Cao talking about the Great Han, but he doesn’t care about the commoners at all.”

“He is a member of the gentry, high and mighty; naturally, he is not like Liu Bei toward the commoners.”

“Not just Cao Cao; Ding Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan Shu, Sun Sun Jian, and even those like Tao Tao Qian who claim to be good to the commoners—who has truly treated the commoners well!”

“Liu Bei rose from the grassroots; his subordinates Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Hao Zhao, and others all have humble origins, and Zhang Zhang Liao and Jia Kui also had their families fall on hard times—perhaps they can carve out a different world!”

“Big-Eared Thief, we all support you!”

Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to lead five thousand troops to continue the charge; don’t fight hard if you encounter a large group of enemies, but if you encounter Dong Zhuo’s convoy transporting imperial tomb treasures, intercept them all!
