Chapter 269: The Righteous Spear
Welcome Liu Bei?

Upon hearing this news, Wang Yao's expression suddenly became a little subtle. To be honest, although his relationship with Liu Bei was actually quite good before, this meaningless war made him somewhat concerned.

In the final analysis, if it weren't for Liu Bei's delay in sending the information, this war wouldn't have been necessary, and many soldiers wouldn't have died.
After taking a cryptic glance at Wang Yao's brand new equipment, Zhuge Liang simply said, "You guys come over to greet him as well."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked to the front line.

As soon as Zhuge Liang left, Luna finally breathed a sigh of relief. The girl usually behaved herself and behaved properly outside, and never did anything wrong in front of Zhuge Liang and others. Even when she was at home, she never had any overly intimate actions with Wang Yao in front of Huang Zhong. But this time, she happened to be caught by everyone on the spot. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

But
Gently holding the delicate golden ring in her hand, Luna couldn't help but raise a sweet smile. When she thought that this was actually equivalent to announcing their relationship to everyone, she felt shy and sweet in her heart, which was extremely complicated.

Perhaps, this is actually the best outcome in the universe?

Carefully putting the Fengming Ring back to her waist, Luna whispered to Wang Yao beside her: "Then let's go."

The girl said it lightly, but Wang Yao was a little unhappy: "Girl, don't try to get away with it. What just happened is not over yet!"

Speaking of which, Wang Yao felt depressed no matter how he thought about it. He had arranged everything carefully, but in the end, not only did he fail to win the beauty, he didn't even get any "benefits"!

Looking at Wang Yao who was full of resentment, Luna's pretty face revealed a hint of shyness. After giving Wang Yao a cold look, she gently stood on tiptoes and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

"Stop making trouble, let's talk about it when we get home." After Luna whispered softly in Wang Yao's ear, she broke free from his arms and ran forward like a deer with a red face.

Let’s talk about it when we get home.

The girl's soft ending voice still echoed in his ears, and Wang Yao suddenly lost all his grievances. He was left with only warmth and satisfaction. At the same time, he was also moved by these meaningful words.
Forget it, at least the girl is willing to pay attention to him. It won’t be too late to talk about the engagement later, right?

Middle road of the canyon, front line of the central river.

More than four figures of soldiers were neatly arranged in vertical formations on both sides of the route, silent as a mouse. Some of them held their heads high and their chests puffed out, while others stared with burning eyes at the five figures standing in the center of the route, representing the highest echelons of the Shu Kingdom.

Out of courtesy, Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong, and Guan Yu did not speak, but just stared ahead. But Wang Yao was different. He never paid attention to those red tapes, so he kept staring at Luna's exquisite profile with a smile.

The girl naturally also felt Wang Yao's undisguised fiery gaze, which made her heart rate accelerate frequently. This subtle feeling made Luna not know where to put her hands.

Why is this guy always staring at her with a smirk?

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Luna didn't know how to say anything in such a serious occasion, so she could only blush and look down at the tip of her boots to hide her inner throbbing.

In the whole audience, apart from the ambiguity lingering in the hearts of the two people, everyone was holding their breath, waiting for something.

When the figure wearing a velvet coat and cloak slowly came from the direction of Wu State, the soldiers knelt on the ground in unison and shouted at the same time: "Welcome to His Majesty, long live His Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang and others bowed their heads slightly as a courtesy to show their respect for the returnees.

The benevolent and righteous Liu Bei finally returns at this moment!
Walking up to the crowd, the mature and steady Liu Bei smiled at everyone and took the lead in greeting them: "Military Advisor, Second Brother, Han Sheng, Sister Luna, thank you for coming to the canyon to greet me."

Zhuge Liang held up his glowing fan and said, "Your Majesty, this is what we should do."

Liu Bei nodded with a smile, then looked at Wang Yao standing aside. Under his dark blue sword-like eyebrows, his deep eyes flashed a hint of brilliance: "Oh? Brother Yao, it's only been a few months since we last met, and you've become more and more like a general. But what's wrong with your eyes?"

Wang Yao also imitated Zhuge Liang and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Liu. This is just a minor injury I suffered before, it's nothing serious."

Liu Bei patted Wang Yao's shoulder enthusiastically and said with some emotion: "I have heard about the war between Shu and Wei when I was in Wu. I guess you have suffered a lot during this period. Well, I'm glad you are fine. If anything happened to you, I don't know how I would explain it to the captain of the Great Wall Army in the future!"

Wang Yao nodded, but said nothing more.

People will always become more mature with experience. I was naive before and didn't notice it. Until now, seeing Liu Bei always smiling warmly when facing him, Wang Yao suddenly felt that Liu Bei looked at him strangely for no reason.

There is a subtle sense of caution, and the same awkward feeling as looking at "safekeeping items".
Guan Yu said, "Brother, why did this trip to Dongwu take so long?"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you, brother. I fell in love with the little sister of the Sun family, so I was delayed for some time. But fortunately, hard work pays off. The little sister Sun finally agreed to come with me to visit Shu. I came back first, and she followed behind. She should be here soon."

As they were talking, there was a low commotion suddenly heard in the distance.

"Oh, she's here." Liu Bei turned around and looked at the graceful figure walking slowly towards him from the distance as if he were looking at a carefully crafted work of art.

Everyone looked back and saw a slim girl in a light green dress walking towards them in the distance with her hands behind her back, her pointed, smooth chin slightly raised, like a proud little princess.

The girl was extremely beautiful, with a naturally rosy little mouth, a complexion whiter than snow, and green eyes that sparkled like gems on her delicate oval face. Her liveliness carried a bit of unrestrained arrogance, which made people involuntarily attracted to her beautiful face, yet at the same time, felt a little out of reach.

Wu and Shu had been at war for many years, and there were many disputes between them. No need to introduce, everyone knew that the person who came was Wu's attack leader - Sun Shangxiang, the heavy crossbow worth thousands of gold! As a fellow archer, Huang Zhong was unwilling to be submissive. He took a step forward and was about to say something official to show that his throne as the number one archer in Shu was unshakable. Unexpectedly, when he walked in front of Sun Shangxiang, the eldest lady directly sprayed everyone present with a word.

"What are you all standing here for? If you are not my fans, just get out of my way! You are blocking my way!" The eldest lady said to everyone with her hands on her waist.

This arrogant opening remark was so abrupt that not only Huang Zhong was stunned, but even Zhuge Liang was stunned and didn't know how to respond!

Well, before the girl had even had a chance to show off her power, she took the initiative and made a grand exit for everyone present with just one sentence.
Everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed and stopped talking. After all, they were all famous heroes, so they couldn't be so serious and argue with a young girl in public, right?

Wang Yao, on the other hand, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

The eldest lady's willful and arrogant temper really hasn't changed at all.
Sun Shangxiang's pride and sense of superiority are innate, almost deep in her bones, and she treats everyone equally, whether they are heroes or soldiers, as if to say, "This is how I am, what can you do to me?" This is different from Luna, who occasionally throws a princess-like temper, but that is only in front of Wang Yao. Usually outside, she is very gentle, respectful, and modest.

Of course, the most embarrassed person at the scene was Liu Bei. Seeing that he had choked everyone without even saying hello, he felt a little embarrassed, and immediately forced a smile and said: "Shangxiang, they are all the pillars of my Shu Kingdom, you can't be so shameless."

Before I could finish my words, Sun Shangxiang frowned, "What are you doing? You want to control me before I even agree to your marriage proposal? You didn't say that when you were chasing me in Jiangdong. You clearly promised me that as long as I was willing to come to Shu, no one would control me no matter what I wanted to do, didn't you?"

After being questioned by Sun Shangxiang so confidently, Liu Bei suddenly felt like a wilted eggplant. He held back his anger for a long time, and finally could only laugh dryly: "Don't be angry, just do as you please, that's all I said."

Everyone looked at Liu Bei in silence; Your Majesty, are you going to arrange a marriage? Why does it feel like you have invited an incredible Buddha back?

The straightforward Sun Shangxiang was naturally too lazy to appreciate the subtle expressions of the crowd. She snorted lightly with her upturned little nose, then walked among the crowd, shaking her shiny black ponytail.

Perhaps it was because a soldier standing out among a bunch of heroes was too conspicuous. When she walked through the crowd, Sun Shangxiang instinctively glanced at Wang Yao from the side. After walking a few steps, she froze for a moment, turned around, and looked Wang Yao up and down carefully, and then -

"what!!"

Amid the extremely high-decibel shouting, everyone was shocked and didn't know what the eldest lady meant. But they saw Sun Shangxiang pointing at Wang Yao, her unpainted face full of astonishment: "You, you, you, aren't you that so-and-so?!"

that whoever?
Everyone turned to look at Wang Yao, who smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, long time no see."

"So you are really a Shu soldier just as Zhou Yu said?" Wang Yao's response made Sun Shangxiang realize that she had not recognized the wrong person, and a trace of resentment immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Brother Yao, do you know the eldest lady of Dongwu?" Guan Yu asked in a low voice.

"It's a long story. When I was on my way, I was trapped in the highlands of Wu State by mistake, so I met this gentleman once."

After explaining to Guan Yu, Wang Yao said to Sun Shangxiang, "Please don't mind, sir. On the battlefield, everyone was just serving their own masters. I didn't mean to deceive you."

"It seems to be true. Later, I was thinking that you, a soldier, are so arrogant that you dare to sneak into our high ground with a team of troops. Hey! I've told you many times that you have to call me Miss!"

Sun Shangxiang wanted to say something, but Liu Bei interrupted her with a smile: "Shangxiang, you must be tired from the journey. Let me take you to rest first."

Sun Shangxiang glanced at Liu Bei and nodded immediately. She first pointed her finger at Wang Yao and made a threatening "shoot" gesture before shouting to Liu Bei, "Let's go. I'm really tired."

Afterwards, this proud young lady, led by Liu Bei, took the lead and headed towards the highlands.

Soon after, a blue light curtain rose from the sky above the high ground square of Shu Kingdom.

The homeward teleportation matrix is ​​now activated!
After returning to Jingzhou, Liu Bei first settled Sun Shangxiang in the most magnificent palace in Jingzhou to rest, and then he walked towards his own palace alone.

At this time, the streets were quiet, the moon was dark and the wind was strong.

On the way, Ren De Yi Qiang raised his pair of deep dark red eyes and looked at the black night sky in silence. No one could guess what was in his mind.

"Third brother, is that you?" Liu Bei suddenly said without warning.

"It's me, big brother." A deep response was heard, and in the darkness of the street corner, a tall and burly man with wild and standing hair came up behind Liu Bei with heavy steps that made the earth tremble slightly.

The blood-forbidden beast Zhang Fei!

Liu Bei turned around and looked at Zhang Fei's rough face full of gloom, and smiled to himself: "I haven't seen you for several months. I miss you very much. Why don't you follow the military advisor to the canyon to welcome me, your brother?"

Facing the smiling Liu Bei, Zhang Fei had a serious look on his face: "Brother, it's rare that you can still smile."

"Oh?" Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged, still smiling and said, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just feel that if Big Brother comes back a little later, our Shu Kingdom will probably be taken over by a group of outsiders."
