VOLUME 10 CHAPTER 15: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS FAN CITY (2)

Liu Bei POV

“Ah yes,” Just then, Chen Dao thought of something and spoke up, “Lord Guan Yu said she would receive us but where would she be?”

“Ah… Let me see… I don’t think she specified a location. Maybe the city gates?”

“Ah, could it be that Yun Chang and the rest are currently in the 2 patches of forest on either side of the road we are on now?” Chen Dao suggested.

“Ahem, that’s not too likely.” Yuan Zhi replied as she cleared her throat, “As you can see, the trees are all barren and it’s impossible to hide anyone.”

“No, it’s still possible.” Zi Long said as she carved a line in the dirt road with her spear, “The ground is soft here and there are a lot of leaves on the forest floor so they might be lying down on the ground waiting to scare us.”

“Hahaha, that’s way too ludicrous.” I laughed as I tried to imagine how Yun Chang and Feng Xian were lying down on the floors with serious faces as they waited to scare us, “Don’t mess around, that is impossible. Given Yun Chang’s personality, she would definitely choose to receive us from the front.”

“Un, that does make sense.” Zi Long agreed immediately.

But from the front huh… To be honest, I had given the most sneaky and dastardly role for the final battle to her. She did not say anything back then but she must feel terrible inside.

“Ah, I see Lord Guan Yu and the rest.”

When I heard Zi Long’s words, I instinctively looked up and saw 2 groups of troops waiting for us at the end of the forest with Feng Xian and Yun Chang at the head of each group.

“Looks like it’s the most ordinary method of receiving us huh?” Chen Dao said as she smiled at me.

“Come on, let’s get going. Jia!” I said and commanded my horse to gallop forth. I am not riding Dilu today as usual and everyone around me has better horsemans.h.i.+p so they would undoubtedly be able to overtake me shortly. But they did not do so and allowed me to ride at the front.

“Xuan De, your horsemans.h.i.+p has not improved at all huh. Could it be that you can only tap into your potential in the heat of battle?”

Wu. Of course, Zi Long’s tongue is the same as ever.

“Xuan De.”

“Big brother.”

Feng Xian and Yun Chang saw us and rode over as they greeted me.

“Feng Xian, Yun Chang.” I returned the greeting and looked them over, “Are you both doing alright?”

“Yes.”

“I did sustain a few small injuries in the battle but I am fine now.” Yun Chang said as she patted her and looked at each of us in turn, “You’re all here huh… Ah, Yi De came as well.”

“Ah, un.” Yi De frowned as she replied and nodded. Yun Chang looked at me and I smiled stiffly at her upon which she too responded with her own stiff smile.

“By the way, is it just the 2 of you?”

“Ah yes, most of our troops are in the empty s.p.a.ce outside of Fan city.” Yun Chang said as she pointed behind.

“The 2 of us came out to receive you first.” Feng Xian said as she looked down, “Red Hare couldn’t wait.”

*w.a.n.g*! Red Hare barked as it poked its head out of Feng Xian’s breastplate.

“But we’re…” Yun Chang said as she looked behind us, “Big brother, where are your troops?”

“Ah, we didn’t bring any–”

“What?!” Yun Chang seemed alarmed at

my words and exchanged glances with Feng Xian before cautiously surveying the surroundings.

“Ah… What’s the matter?”

“No…” Yun Chang shook her head and finished scanning the surroundings before she continued, “We can’t stay here for long. Let’s return to our troops.”

She’s being so cautious and prudent, but why?

“Did something happen?” Zi Long asked.
