Asked by Liu Bei, Liu Qi stood up from his chair and approached Fu Xun where he then used his arm to point to Fu Xun at his side with an open arm, ”Yes Foster Father, this is Master Fu Xun. He is living well at Xinye with me and has agreed to swear his allegiance to you, that’s why I brought him here to introduce him to you on better terms!”, Liu Qi said excitedly not noticing the dark look that passed Liu Bei’s expression, which Fu Xun takes notice immediately.

Fu Xun trembled to see the dark look that passed Liu Bei’s face because this meant that he had entered Liu Bei’s target list and his survival was threatened, especially since no one would believe him.

Even Liu Qi would not believe him and would think that he tried to separate him and Liu Bei, as Liu Qi was already under Liu Bei’s influence.

Not noticing that Fu Xun had noticed the dark expression that passed through his face, Liu Bei took a deep breath and turned to Fu Xun, ”I see that’s wonderful news, Master Fu Xun! I hope that we can work together well in the future, and don’t worry I forgave all of your past mistakes!”.

While saying so, Liu Bei showed a compassionate and kind smile which could make many people trust him, but unfortunately, Fu Xun already sees past the facade, and Liu Bei doing this just for formalities and because it was in front of Liu Qi.

Liu Qi on the side was happy and finally felt calm seeing that Liu Bei accepted Fu Xun with an open heart, and even forgave all of his past transgressions just like that.

”Foster Father, I truly admire your compassion to forgive Master Fu Xun so easily. I need a long time before I can forgive his betrayal of me and you.”, Said Liu Qi his eyes shining bright full of admiration for Liu Bei.

Hearing what Liu Qi had just said, Liu Bei shook his head, ”Why do we need to hold the thirst for vengeance and anger for so long? Relieving ourselves from such a burden is a big relief for our health.”, Liu Bei turned his head and look to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi nodded his head understanding and agreeing with what Liu Bei had just said, and Liu Bei who grew a bit tired of Liu Qi told him to change the letter right now, with him and Fu Xun at his side.

He then called for a servant and asked the servant to bring papers and stationery to the main hall, and after waiting for a couple of minutes it was brought in by the servant and placed on the table beside Liu Qi.

After it was placed down by the servant, Liu Qi began to copy some of the words that he wrote in the previous letter, while Liu Bei and Fu Xun sometimes told him what to write after each word or sentence he copied.

Fu Xun who wanted to stay alive, could only follow whatever Liu Bei said saying that it was right, causing Liu Bei to have a little increase in his favorability for Fu Xun, but only by a minuscule amount.

While Liu Qi, Liu Bei, and Fu Xun were composing Liu Qi’s letter that would be sent to Liu Biao at Wuling, to the northwest of Xiangyang, Lie Fan who was staying at his residence in Xiapi received the news as well.

But the news he revived was much more elaborate and explicit than other Warlords, where the content described Liu Bei’s unknown illness as due to the Cai Clan brother and sister.

Poisoning the food that Liu Biao eats with supplements that were created by mixing numerous amounts of diseases, causes Liu Biao to get serious unknown illnesses and had to put Liu Cong to replace him.

This is the true purpose of Cai Mao and Lady Cai, as having Liu Cong on the swat of power, Cai Mao turned him into a puppet, making himself reinstated as the Grand General and empowering the Cai Clan to a whole other level.

While he was reading the letter, he was accompanied by all of his wives who had decided that it was a good time today to spend time with just the five of them, while the kids were left to Wannian, Sima Yi, and the maids that was assigned as their caretaker.

Ying Yue who was peeling some fruits for Lie Fan, saw that Lie Fan’s eyebrow furrowed tightly, ”Husband what’s wrong? Does the letter contain some bad news?”, asked Ying Yue while giving a piece of fruit to Lie Fan.

Taking the fruit from Ying Yue, Lie Fan takes a bite before replying to her, ”It can’t be called bad news Yue’er, but it can’t be said to be good news either since it causes some changes in my plan.”, after saying that Lie Fan finishes the piece of fruit in his hand.

”Well, that’s a cryptic answer for Sister Yue, Husband. What does the letter contain anyway, for it to change some of your plans.”, Diao Chan on the side was intrigued after hearing the exchange between Ying Yue and Lie Fan, deciding to join in on the conversation.

Seeing the cute look on Diao Chan’s, Lie Fan could not help but pinch her cheek, ”Liu Biao has gotten ill with an unknown disease, which was orchestrated by Cai Mao and his sister Lady Cai as an act of revenge, and do instill Liu Cong to roelcae Liu Biao, turn in I’m into their puppet.”, as he was saying so he released his hand from pinching Diao Chan’s cheek.

Caressing her cheek that hurts from Lie Fan pinching, Diao Chan showed a surprised expression alongside the others who were also surprised, not expecting such revelation at all.

Lie Fan had never told them about what happened or what he was planning, so when Lie Fan told them about some of the news that he received, they never expected such a surprise.

Lu Lingqi at the side was angered by this revelation and hit the table loudly surprising everyone there, ”I didn’t expect that Cai Mao and Lady Cai could be that despicable! How could they betray their family member?!”, with a loud passionate voice Lu Lingqi said so while looking at Lie Fan.

”I don’t know why Qi’er, but some people would do anything even betray their own family for personal greed, which I sometimes encounter.”, Lie Fan said to Lu Lingqi while approaching her and caressing her head to calm her down.

Cai Wenji who was reading a poetry book on the side, after being surprised by Lu Lingqi’s action and listening to Lie Fan, turned her head to him, ”Then you would not do such a thing right Husband? I know it’s a foolish question to ask but I just wanted to make sure.”

Cai Wenji’s question received three no’s at the same time from Ying Yue, Diao Chan, and Lu Lingqi at the same time, who then chastised Cai Wenji for even asking such a question causing her to be flustered.

Seeing this happening, Lie Fan helped Cai Wenji relieve her from the site of his other wives and said that Cai Wenji didn’t mean anything and that it was a normal question to ask then he turned to Cai Wenji, hugging her and swore that he would never do such thing.

While she was being hugged by Lie Fan, Cai Wenji showed a smirk to her other sisters, who realized that she planned this all along and never expected the gentle Cai Wenji to do such a thing.

As Lie Fan’s residence in Xiapi was filled with happenings and playful bickering, to the far east of their location, Tianshui which was under heavy siege by Cao Cao entered a critical situation.

Even though Ma Teng had tried his best to position his generals and soldiers, after around a week of siege his soldiers were killed left and right at a fast speed, while Pang De and Ma Chao grew exhausted with each duel they passed through.

Xu Huang and Zhang Ji had substitutes to replace them after dueling Ma Chao and Pang De, in the form of Han Sui’s eighth rider generals or Cao Hong and Zhang Xui to help them conserve their energy.

This caused Pang De and Ma Chao to be exhausted to the extreme, and Ma Tweg was on his wit’s end because, without the two of them, the defenses at the south and north walls of Tianshui were vulnerable.

Zhao Ang the Governor of Tianshui also panicked, because he couldn’t replace Ma Chao and Pang De as he didn’t have the strength, maybe he could face some of Han Sui’s generals, but not the likes of Cao Hong, Zhang Ji, and Xu Huang.

So in a state of panic, he could only turn to his wife Wang Yi who he knew was very full of wisdom and smarter than him, that’s why he married her not just because of her beauty even though they haven’t done anything yet.

So while Ma Teng was holding the fort, Zhao Ang slipped through and headed to his residence where his wife was staying there with full protection.

Entering his room, he saw Wang Yi doing some embroidery and looking up when she heard the door opening, and seeing him she showed a gentle smile asking him to take a seat.

After sitting down, Zhao Ang turned to his wife, ”Yi’er, the situation at Tianshui is worsening by the day, what do you think we should do?”, he asked Wang Yi while holding both of her hands.

”How bad is it Husband? Do we need to evacuate Tianshui or do we still have some room to maneuver?”, Wang Yi asked her husband while trying to calm him down, and her brain began to spin fast.

Zhao Ang managed to calm himself down with the help of his wife, ”There is still some room for us to maneuver some moves, but I don’t know if our army could even survive the onslaught from Cao Cao’s Army.”, as he said so with a trembling voice, Zhao Ang caresses the hand of his wife and kissed it.

Listening to her husband’s words, Wang Yi sighed not expecting the situation had turned this bad because a week before the situation look optimistic for them, and how the tables have turned now, ”Then there’s only one thing we can do now Husband, which is to choose which side we stand on this war, will we stay loyal to Ma Teng or we swear our allegiance Cao Cao.”, as Wang Yi said so she looked at her husband eyes deeply.
