Vol 4 Chapter 22 (2/2)

“Ah~~ Wine always tastes better just before a big battle!”

“That’s right, for us sisters anyway. Generals have to be slain, blood has to be shed, and wine has to be drunk~”

Just then, 2 off-key and refres.h.i.+ng voices came from behind.

I instinctively turned to look, and saw 2 young girls in plate armour sitting opposite each other at a table. One was wearing grey plate armour while the other was wearing brown plate armour. Both sets of armour had fearsome tiger and dragon motifs. Though the 2 of them had beautiful features, their pupils were narrow as though they had just taken medicine, perhaps from being on the battlefield for too long.

And their table was filled with wine jugs. Apart from wine, there was yet more wine.

These 2 are…

“Don’t look anymore, Lord Liu Bei. Those 2 are Yuan Shao’s most favoured generals– Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Their tempers are terrible and if we should catch their attention, I don’t know what might happen.” Zhang He warned me with her head still lowered.

I hurriedly turned my head back and stopped looking at them.

I’d thought that Yan Liang and Wen Chou would be big, burly men like Ju Yi. Though they differed from what I’d thought they would look like, seems like they aren’t ordinary people at all.

As I thought so, the scene I saw outside the tent came to mind again, and I couldn’t help but be convinced of the inevitability of Yuan Shao’s loss.

I looked at Zhang He’s face, which seemed thinner than before at Xu state.

After staring at her for a while, I shook my head.

No matter how I look at it, Meng De is better than Yuan Shao by far. Perhaps there is a reason why fate led Yuan Shao to lose.

By the time I regained my senses, we had finished the wine. Zhang He was planning on ordering another jug but I hurriedly stopped her.

“By the way,” Just before we separated, I remembered to ask about the combat situation, “Where is Yuan Shao planning to attack first?”

Zhang He did not speak, and wrote ‘Baima, Yan Liang’ on the table with wine.

I nodded, gave my farewell to Zhang He, and took a last look at Yan Liang and Wen Chou before I left the restaurant.
