VOLUME 9 CHAPTER 64: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS BEFORE THE BATTLE OUTSIDE XINYE CITY (2)

Liu Bei POV

“Here~”

“Lord Liao Hua went to the city tower early this morning already.”

“Lord Sun Qian and the other 2 are already waiting in the main hall.”

Everyone responded promptly to Yuan Zhi’s question at which she merely nodded.

“Un, let’s go then.” Yuan Zhi said as she began walking towards the main hall with light steps that did not leave much of a print in the mud. Everyone else followed along as well. Some waited to see if I was going as well before moving. Clearly, they still did not have complete trust in Yuan Zhi like yesterday.

Ah… Why is this hat so stuffy? I am beginning to sweat after just a short while now. And my face is itching from the leaves which keep sticking to my face.

As I took off the hat, or should I say helmet, or perhaps plant circlet, I looked at it closely and felt that though it did not have much practical use, it did serve the purpose of hiding my ident.i.ty well enough.

“Oi, oi! My lord, what do you think of it?”

“Ah?” I looked to side and saw a beaming and confident Zhou Cang, “Un, it’s not bad. Rather… Unique.” I nodded as I did my best to praise the hat she gave me.

“I see, I see~” Good thing Zhou Cang was satisfied with this, “By the way, since my lord needs to hide his ident.i.ty, shouldn’t you change your name as well?”

Where did this come from?

“My name huh… I don’t think there’s a need for that.”

Liu Bei is not my own name to begin with so if you ask me to change it, I really do not know what I ought to change it to. Honestly, now would be a good time to use my actual name but I have forgotten it so that does not work.

“I believe there is a need for that. When we need to call big brother on the battlefield, the truth will be exposed right away if we don’t use another name.” Yun Chang said as she walked beside me. She then stared at Yi De and looked about. When she saw that no one was paying attention to us, she whispered into my ear, “Did big brother speak to Yi De yesterday?”

When she asked me this, I frowned as I thought back to what happened yesterday night and shook my head, “I did but she didn’t respond well.”

“I see…” Yun Chang responded with a grim expression.

“Shamoke!”

“Un?” I was surprised at Zhou Cang suddenly yelling something unintelligible. Could it be the local dialect of Zhou Cang’s hometown?

“Shamoke! Shamoke!”

“No, even if you keep yelling it at me, I don’t know what that is…”

“Eh? My lord doesn’t know? Shamoke is the current leader of the Wuling Man.” Zhou Cang responded with a very surprised expression. To be honest, the look she’s giving me right now like she’s teaching me something really hurts.

“I don’t know.” I honestly answered and shook my head.

“It’s fine, you know now.” Zhou Cang said as she placed her hands on her hip and looked proud of herself, “During this period, you can just call yourself Shamoke.”

“Eh?! Really?”

That fellow sounds very formidable. Would it not be very troublesome if he hears of someone impersonating him?

“It’ll be fine. No one will know.” Zhou Cang said relaxedly as she placed her hands behind her head and continued walking ahead with wide steps.

Now that she’s not wearing any bandages around her legs, they are getting covered in sand

from her careless steps. Ah… It’s going to be troublesome to wash them off later…

Wu! What am I thinking about! No, no, now is most definitely not the time for thinking about such things.

*Putong*

“Ah…”

“Un? My lord, why were you so careless that you stepped into the water?”
