VOLUME 7 CHAPTER 36: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS A SHORT REST AT XIANGYANG (5)

Liu Bei POV

After I finished eating dinner, I felt that it was really warm and stuffy in the residence. Feng Xian had also gotten drunk and I had a bad feeling about it so I took my coat and decided to get some fresh air in the courtyard.

When I reached the courtyard, I found that it wasn’t very cold and the coat I had in my hands was unnecessary so I put it at the side. As I looked at the skies, I stretched my back and took a deep breath of the cool, fresh air.

“Wen Yuan, bring me my halberd, I want to do some moves.”

“My lord! Stop messing around. You might look steady on your feet but you’re already drunk right?”

“Just give her the d.a.m.n halberd, I would like to see some of her moves.”

“Lord Zhao Yun, don’t make things worse. When she gets going, even the 2 of us can’t stop her. Little sister, say something too.”

“Eh? You mean me?”

“Wu, please help Lord Zhang Fei.”

“I’ll be waiting at the back, I have my limits.”

“I’ll be stepping away from mother as well. Sister Mi Zhu, you should get the others to back off as well.”

“Un, Mi Zhen, sister Gan, come to the back and watch the show.”

Looks like something was just about to happen as I left. My intuition is getting more and more accurate huh.

But I feel better seeing how energetic they are. We’ve been wandering about and I’ve always been worried that they might be unhappy about our circ.u.mstances. I know I haven’t been doing as well as I should and if they were to tell me that they are unsatisfied with things as they are, I really don’t know what I ought to say then.

But from how things look now, perhaps I was just thinking too much. Or perhaps they are just used to dealing with my pathetic self.

Un… Let’s leave that aside for now, I thought as I took out the piece of silk that Liu Qi handed to me this afternoon.

There were only 3 rows of words written on it, first was [Be careful], second was [Beware of the lies people might tell you], and the third was [The next time Yi Ji Yi Ji Bo comes knocking, I hope that you can make an appearance. Both my father and I have words to speak to you].

Only the last line was rather long, and was the one that bothered me the most. Leaving aside Liu Biao, why didn’t Liu Qi speak to me if she had something? It was a good opportunity to do so today after all.

Or did it have to do with seniority?

As I’ve said before, I have read a little about the Three Kingdoms so I do know there’s an inheritance issue with Jing state that will result in a mess later on. But that has to do with Liu Biao. What business does Liu Qi have with me? Does she want me to support her bid to be the heir?

I don’t know but perhaps I should visit this father and daughter next time. When the time comes, I just have to deal things as they come.

“… My lord.”

“Ah!” All of a sudden, a soft, floating voice that sounded like a ghost’s moan gave me an awful fright,
