VOLUME 9 CHAPTER 98: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS A RAID ON FAN CITY (2)

Liu Bei POV

“Haha, I guess. But Yun Chang has already explained things to me.” I smiled stiffly and felt worried as I looked at the 2 at them, “… Umm, will you both be alright?”

“Eh?”

“Alright?”

Feng Xian and Wen Yuan looked at each other and seemed puzzled at my question.

“Our troops will be split in half, right? You’re going to be up against the enemy’s full forces, will it really be alright?”

Based on what Yun Chang just told me, that would mean that Feng Xian and Wen Yuan would have to deal with an enemy that had twice their numbers. If that’s the case, the battle will probably be very harsh.

“Hahaha, my lord, you don’t need to be worried about that~” Wen Yuan broke into peals of laughter when I finished and slapped my back, making me cough. When I looked at them, I saw that they both had confident smiles on.

“Who does my lord think we are!” Wen Yuan roared. Well, I guess that’s true.

“Yes.” Feng Xian agreed whilst stroking Red Hare. It was very surprising to me as this was the first time that I have heard Feng Xian say such confident words.

“Xuan De,” Feng Xian said as she saluted me, “I hope that you can watch me in the upcoming battle.”

There did not seem to much light in Feng Xian’s eyes but unlike the dead emptiness I saw when we first met, I could see a thin light in her eyes, a light that shone a way to her path.

“Un, I’ll be counting on you.” I said and saluted as I nodded. Overall, I would say that I am not very worried about these 2. The difference in strength may be great but all I can do is pray for them.

Now that I was done with Feng Xian and Wen Yuan, I made my way to Yuan Zhi, taking care to go around anyone to avoid getting entangled in anymore conversations.

“Yuan Zhi.” I called out as I stepped out from behind Yuan Zhi and sat down beside her to the left.

“Ah… Un?” Yuan Zhi jolted when she heard me. Looks like she was brooding about stuff. She turned to look at me and when she saw that it was me, she relaxedly turned back and picked up her bowl of sugar water, “Xuan De, are you here to ask me about what I was talking about during the meeting?”

Eh? I am surprised that Yuan Zhi would ask me this the moment I came over. This is the 3rd person now, after Feng Xian and Wen Yuan.

“Yuan Zhi.”

“Un?”

“Was it that obvious that I was dozing off just now?”

“Of course it was. Your head was practically on the table.” Yuan Zhi shrugged as she said so and blew some particles off her sugar water, “Of course, that is what I saw from my seat.”

“Then why didn’t anyone wake me up?”

“That huh?” She said and took a sip of sugar water before letting out a sigh, and looked at everyone with a dazed look, “I don’t know.”

“I see…”

Yuan Zhi seems to have given me a casual answer without seriously thinking about it. But at the same time, I realised why when I asked. I could feel that everyone was showing me some sort of kindness and understanding. Probably.

“So if you’re not here to ask me about what happened during the meeting, then you must be here to give your opinion on the strategy I proposed.” Yuan Zhi said as she brought her bowl to her lips but did not sip. Looks like she is going to wait for my answer before drinking.

“I wouldn’t call it an opinion…”

I do not know how Yuan Zhi f

eels now but she should be rather nervous. In the battle before, I could see that Yuan Zhi was very harsh on and demanding of herself. She probably will be very worried about my view on her strategy. Perhaps she would be sensitive to even someone calling out to her at this time.
