Vol 7 Chapter 23 (2/2)

“Attention!”

*Ka*!

Just as we made our way to the port, Han Dang roared out and the troops to our right and left stood at attention and watched us silently pa.s.s. The wind was very strong but none of them were shaken in the least.

“Xuan De, I’ve come to send you off.” Bo Fu yelled out at me from afar. From how she sounds, it seems like she’s back to normal now.

I waved at her, but quickly retracted my hand and saluted her instead when Zi Long cleared her throat.

“I didn’t think Bo Fu would give me such a grand farewell. I really am surprised.” I said what I truly felt when we got closer.

“This isn’t much. I’m not satisfied with how I hosted you in this period after all.” She slapped my back a couple of times as she said so, making me cough a few times. Her strength is as great as ever huh.

I smiled and looked about. All the generals were saluting me. Apart from the few I knew before coming here, I’ve mixed up some of the names already. This isn’t a television show after all, so there’s no display tag with their names. But to express my grat.i.tude, I still saluted and bowed to each and every one of them.

“Xuan De, I won’t say too much.” Bo Fu walked up and lightly clapped my shoulders, with a relieved expression, “Now that you’re leaving, I’m going to feel a little lonely again.”

“Doesn’t big sis still have me?” Sun Quan said, at which Bo Fu laughed and rubbed Sun Quan’s head,

“Work hard, Imperial Uncle. I’ll be looking to you as a role model.”

“What role model? I’m not even remotely good at ruling.” I said honestly and laughed.

I turned back and saw that my warrior generals were mingling with Jiangdong’s warrior generals; Ma Zhong, Pan Zhang were chatting and laughing with Yun Chang and Guan Ping, while the Xu state 3 were engrossed in discussions with some administrative officials as well. Everyone else seemed to be chatting with someone on the Jiangdong side.

Perhaps the Sun-Liu alliance is something that will definitely come to pa.s.s, I thought.

“We’ll be seeing you off from here then. Zhang Zhao and Huang Gai will be taking you to Jiangxia.” Bo Fu saluted me as she said.

I nodded resolutely and returned the salute.

“Ah, right.” Just then, she suddenly thought of something and came up close as she whispered in my ear, “By the way, what do you do in your era when sending people off?”

Bo Fu’s eyes were gleaming. Seems like she’s really interested in this.

I don’t really know how I ought to answer this. Shaking hands feels a little bland to me personally speaking.

“… That would have to be a kiss I guess–”

Just as I finished, I felt something soft cover my lips.

As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words.

At this very moment, I fully understood our mutual attachment to each other and our reluctance to part.
