Liu Xuande would never be a succubus of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

"Alas, judging from your actions today, your master knows that you are a brat who likes to take everything on yourself... Remember, even if the sky falls, your master will hold it up. If you have any difficulties that you can solve on your own, then solve them yourself. If you can't, then come to me in time. Understand?"

"The disciple understands."

"it is good."

The sound of faint breathing came from behind again.

Master, I fell asleep again.

Liu Bei carried the silver-haired beauty on his back and walked down the mountain step by step, but there was a hint of red in his peach blossom eyes.

Chapter 36: Trends of Various Parties

The next day, we went to school and slept.

When Liu Bei opened his eyes, he saw the red pupils close to him.

"woke up?"

This indifferent voice was like the alarm clock in his previous life, instantly making Liu Bei's remaining sleepiness disappear. He quickly sat up and looked at the teacher standing at the head of the bed.

As I recall, I carried the teacher back to my room last night - fortunately, Teacher Lu was quite wealthy and arranged for each student to sleep alone.

After all, in today's world, students who can still afford to pay tuition and become disciples of wise teachers must have elders who are either rich or noble and will not need a few sons.

The last scene in my memory was that I was thrown onto the bed by the teacher, and then my eyes went black... So, didn't I sleep with the teacher last night?

How treasonous this is, how disrespectful to teachers and ancestors, and how disrespectful to teachers and elders.

If this were known to others, the Master would surely be reduced from a Confucian teacher to a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone.

While Liu Bei was still worried about his teacher's reputation, the latter's face remained calm. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he took the initiative to say:

"Last night's agreement still stands. I've left breakfast for you on the table. Please eat and head down the mountain immediately... Your friends of the opposite sex are still waiting for you."

After saying this, the silver-haired, red-eyed girl turned and left. However, when she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something and looked back at the stunned Liu Bei, and said:

"You know the world is not peaceful these days. You have to be extra careful when you're out there alone. You also have to remember the importance of not meeting the wrong person. You have to be prepared for any mishaps. You understand."

After saying this, Master Lu left without even stopping.

As for the incident of sleeping together last night, there was no comment or blame.

but……

Liu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the teacher had just left as if he was running away.

But this should be an illusion.

After all, the Master is not the kind of person who cares too much about secular etiquette and the love between men and women.

Her temperament was too indifferent.

This is not an iceberg beauty above the nine heavens, nor is it cold and arrogant, but just a calm mentality after reaching a reconciliation with one's own heart.

This mentality enables the Master to remain calm no matter how he is treated, and enables him to abide by the morality in his heart effortlessly.

No one can defeat such a master.

I wish I could reach this level one day.

"Disciple...I will remember the Master's teachings."

Even though the teacher had left, Liu Bei still insisted on performing the formalities towards the door.

There are still many things to do today, and we cannot slack off in the slightest.

The revenge from the Jian family will definitely come in the near future, and the information unearthed from the Bishui Pavilion also needs to be confirmed with Meng De. Finally, I will go and appease Senior Sister Gongsun.

Okay, time to get up.

-

After a while, Liu Bei, who had tidied up, walked out of the dormitory. He first nodded and greeted many senior and junior sisters one by one, and then walked down the mountain without stopping at all.

He looked back at the top of the mountain. There seemed to be a small figure standing there, and it seemed to be looking over here.

"Disciple, resign."

"Ah."

Liu Bei turned and left. At the same time, dark shadows surged on both sides of the road, and then a bamboo slip was thrown over from somewhere else.

He caught it with one hand and lowered his head to check it.

This is the report from Lao Wu, which records that Zhang Jian and other righteous men encountered Master Lu yesterday and were forced to hand over a treasure. Then they set off towards Zhuo County.

Zhuo County... Is this somewhere they're waiting for me? Or is this just a coincidence... In any case, I still need to prepare in advance.

"Strengthen the defenses of Zhuo County. Never allow any thieves to get close to my mother, nor allow them to plot against my fellow villagers."

"only."

The dark figure in the shadows nodded and immediately left.

Liu Bei pondered for a while and then looked down.

Yesterday, after Cao Cao said goodbye to Liu Bei, he immediately sent someone to find Senior Sister Gongsun. Then, they suddenly started to argue with each other at the dinner table. Finally, under the instigation of Chen Xu, they fought each other, and Senior Sister Gongsun won.

Chen Xu.

You are such a fun person.

Liu Bei shook his head slightly, thinking that he would hang this fox up and teach her a lesson later, so that she would know what is good and what is bad.

But Senior Sister Gongsun actually defeated Meng De, which is amazing... However, Cao Cao is very vengeful, so Senior Sister must be careful.

Liu Bei skipped over these records and looked at the last record about the Jian family - Jian Shuo's cousin Jian Siyuan, who suddenly replaced the garrison personnel in Luoyang without any warning last night.

This behavior seems to be doing something behind his brother's back.

Although Jian Shuo nominally obtained half of Luoyang's military affairs yesterday, he did not have the prestige and ability to command, so he could only delegate power to his family and confidants.

As his cousin, Jian Siyuan naturally gained a considerable amount of power, and even successfully replaced the garrison personnel that night.

This seems to have been premeditated...

What was his intention in changing the garrison? Was he planning to commit something extremely treasonous?

When Liu Bei saw this, he looked a little nervous.

No, this guy wouldn't be so foolish as to think that just by replacing the garrison personnel, the conditions for launching a coup would be met, right?

Laughing to death.

It is very likely that Jian Siyuan has never seen the current emperor with his own eyes, so he has no idea what kind of face the emperor has hidden beneath the appearance of being greedy for pleasure and wasting time.

As long as the emperors of the Liu family could survive to adulthood, they were all extraordinary people.

It is true that the imperial power is now divided and the court is dark, but it is far from the point where the people at all levels are disunited. Even if it really reaches that point, who would support the unknown Jian Siyuan?

happy.

And stupid.

But it seems that there is more to it than that.

Jian Siyuan is the brother of a eunuch. Even if he has the intention to commit a crime, he would not have the courage to do it, unless he has some backing... In this case, it must be a certain noble family that is behind this.

So what were they trying to do? Were they trying to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the Jian family, or were they simply testing the power of the imperial court?

Liu Bei did not continue to investigate further because of his low status. Even though the assassins tried their best to collect intelligence, they still could not obtain any important news.

He did not forget that the Jian family still had plans to deal with him.

I am still too passive. I can only respond after the other party makes a move. It is far from being able to immediately know and counterattack as soon as the other party makes a move.

If one wants to be an official nowadays, the most basic requirements are to be filial and honest, have meritorious service, and have someone recommend you. The second is to bribe the people above you. The third... of course is to have made military achievements that others cannot erase.

The name is four words - Meritorious Service in Saving the Emperor.

As well as Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Master Lu, etc., you can enter the officialdom with the recommendation of any one of them.

Kindness: Chapter 37: In the Carriage with Cao Bin...

When Liu Bei came out of the mountain, he found a carriage parked at the foot of the mountain.

The groom in front also noticed him with his sharp eyes, so he turned around and muttered a few words to the back, and the window was opened from the inside.

A little head popped out.

Although she looks somewhat similar to Cao Cao, her temperament is completely different, that of a girl next door.

This is Cao Cao's sister, Cao Bin.

Liu Bei felt touched and bowed, saying, "I'm deeply sorry to have kept Miss Cao waiting for so long."

"Huh, you still know..."

Cao Bin had good intentions, but she had been spoiled since she was a child, and was made to wait for Liu Bei in the hot sun early in the morning. Naturally, she was a little unhappy, so she pretended to be fierce.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei suddenly raised his head, and his pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes stared at her without blinking.

This is the decisive blow.

Even Cao Bin's sister Cao Cao couldn't resist this move, let alone her who was still mentally incomplete?

So, the girl shyly turned away her gaze, her tone flustered and soft: "It hasn't been long, I, I just got here not long ago... It's okay..."

"??"

The groom sitting in the front was stunned when he heard this.

Miss, it's still daytime now, how can you lie with your eyes open?

We've been waiting here since dawn, and now it's almost noon, so how come it's become 'just arrived not long ago'?

The coachman was afraid that his young lady would be deceived, so he turned around and wanted to give a hint or two to wake her up, but he happened to look into those peach blossom eyes.

"..."

A few seconds later, the dazed groom jumped down from the front, respectfully opened the door for Liu Bei, and said with a bow, "Please get in, sir."

"Thank you."

"It's okay, this is my job."

The coachman threw a coquettish glance at Liu Bei, but the latter ignored him and got on the carriage, sitting in the same direction as Cao Bin.

"Then please get ready, everyone. We are about to set off."

The sound of horses' hooves scraping the ground and neighing could be heard, and then the entire carriage began to move slowly and quickly.

The scenery outside the window gradually faded away, only the scorching sun at noon was still hanging in the sky.

Liu Bei noticed that Cao Bin had been secretly looking at him. He turned his head away with amusement and took the initiative to say:

"Come to think of it, we haven't officially met each other yet. My name is Liu Bei, and my courtesy name is Xuande."

Who knew that this opening of the mouth was like a hunter startling a rabbit.

Cao Bin shuddered all over, his buttocks tightened slightly, he bit his lower lip, and he didn't know where to look.

After a long while, she finally uttered a weak voice: "My name is Cao Bin. I just got married this year and am not yet engaged. Um... may I ask, Xuande, do you have a woman you like?"

Perhaps Cao Bin realized that something was wrong as soon as he said this - you are a girl who has not yet been engaged, and you are actually asking about who someone likes. This will damage your own reputation.

So, she quickly excused herself, "Well, it's mainly because my sister is interested in this, and I...I was just asking for her..."

Although this still damaged the reputation of the Cao family, it didn't matter, because my sister has always been shameless. Even if she knew about this in the future, she would definitely just laugh it off and not take it seriously.

"I see."

Liu Bei had no doubt about this. He first shook his head and then frowned.

Cao Cao has the personality of a domineering female CEO. Although she is indeed very nice, if you insist on saying that she is "admired"... it seems that it has not reached that level yet. After all, they have only known each other for less than two days.

As for Senior Sister Gongsun, she is a loli who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although she is also quite good, her character seems to be a bit of a nympho. If you marry her, I'm afraid she will be unable to leave her room day and night.

As for that fox Chen Xu... well, let's not talk about it.

Liu Bei thought hard for a long time, and for some reason, the image of a beautiful girl with silver hair and red eyes appeared in his mind... He quickly put an end to this momentum.

Although he is very fond of that fetish, he doesn't want to be a traitor for the time being.
