VOLUME 9 CHAPTER 159: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS THE SIEGE OF XINYE (8)

Liu Bei POV

“Could the enemy have seen through us? They haven’t done anything yet after all.”

“Un…” I could not deny that what Feng Xian said might have happened. At the same time, I could not really give a concrete yes either as all we could do was wait. Wait for them to come and then act as per Yuan Zhi’s strategy. Yun Chang and Wen Yuan must be agonising as well in the west side of the city.

“I really didn’t think that the city walls could be constructed like that though.” I said as I looked at the city walls, feeling impressed at the handiwork of Huang Zu and the rest. It was no wonder that Yuan Zhi’s plan could work. Huang Zu and the rest really contributed significantly to this.

“I’m here, my lord.”

Un? Another presence could be felt from behind. Normally, this could only be Wen Yuan but she was waiting at the west of the city. Additionally, this voice is far too tender and calm.

“Yi De?” I called out as I turned back and saw that I was correct.

“My lord.” She said as she saluted me respectfully.

“No no, wait…” I did not understand why Yi De was here, much less her outfit.

Yi De was now holding her Serpent Spear in hand and she wore shoulder plates as well as a protective chest piece on top of her clothing. There is definitely a lot more metal on her than the last time. If this were a game, her defence would definitely be significantly higher. But this is real life, so apart from the places that were covered, other places would still be exposed.

“Yi De, this is…” I asked as I pointed at her outfit.

“This is what Lord Hua Tuo and Lord Xu Shu got me to wear.” Yi De said as she felt her shoulder plates,”They said it was for the sake of safety.”

When she finished, she twisted about. Looks like she’s afraid that it looked weird on her. To be honest, it was a bit weird to see her in armour after so long but for the sake of safety, I do think that this is the right decision.

“Un, I think it fits you.” I said as I gave her a thumbs up.

“Really?” She said blandly. Well this sort of dull reaction is to be expected as it’s just a few pieces of metal after all.

“Lord Zhang Fei, when the fighting starts, you don’t need to charge to the front.” Feng Xian said as she came over and patted Yi De’s head.

Some of her fringe got pushed up while Feng Xian did so and Yi De hurriedly pulled it down and flattened her hair. Looks like she places great importance on her appearance huh? That’s quite unlike of Yi De before she lost her memories.

“That’s it for now, Lord Zhang Fei. You can go and help me count the troops.” Feng Xian said and then turned around, “Go and have a chat with my subordinate officers. They may not be as strong as us but they’ve followed me from the north. If you’re not too familiar with them, they might not listen to your commands later.”

“Ah… Un.” Yi De was stunned for a moment but she hurriedly nodded and saluted before running into the tent where she seemed to have some trouble as she ran about.

“The commander’s office is there!” Feng Xian yelled as she pointed to the right.

“Alright, thanks Lord Lu Bu.” Yi De thanked Feng Xian who nodded, before running off.

I was rather surprised at what Feng Xian did as I have not really heard of Feng Xian showing much concern to others.

“What’s the matter?”

“Ah…” Feng Xian seemed to have noticed

my gaze on her but I could not possibly be so direct with her and decided to say it in a sort of roundabout manner, “Nothing much. I just thought that Feng Xian has become easier to get along with.”

“It’s nothing much.” Feng Xian said as she took a small stool and sat beside me. I looked at her and saw that she was serious as ever, “All I can say is I feel that I should give everyone a better impression of myself.”

“Oh~”
