Liu Bei POV

It was now in the evening and we set up camp on the spot after cleaning up the battlefield. The reason why we didn’t advance any further was because the troops were exhausted after travelling and the battle, and because we received word from the frontlines that the situation wasn’t as critical as initially thought and we had the time to rest up before joining up with Jiangxia.

And so, with this in mind, Liu Qi and I decided to give the troops half a day’s worth of rest after the battle and only advance the next day after a good night’s rest.

Presently, I was with my companions at the brazier as we went through the battle today.

“Earlier today, I led my troops to the eat, and we would completely surrounded those d.a.m.ned robbers within 15 minutes if we did as I ordered. But I never thought that those lazy a.s.ses were so tardy, and even seemed unhappy about taking orders from me. If they weren’t troops that didn’t belong to us, I would have had them court-martialed by now.”

“Chen Gong, you’re getting too agitated. They aren’t our troops so not accepting our orders is natural. Try and get along with them for now.” I felt that Chen Gong’s complaints were fair but I had no choice but to placate her for now since, as I said, they weren’t our troops.

“Let’s stop talking for now and eat first.” Just then, Chen Dao came back with 4 wooden bowls and pa.s.sed 1 to each of us.

“Here, this is yours, my lord.”

“Eh! Why does our lord’s bowl have roast meat! Ours only has dried meat!” Zhou Cang looked over, and immediately spotted the difference between our bowls, and yelled out roughly in a manner that was at odds with how she looked.

“Lord Zhou Cang, our lord has been labouring all day and nearly died after falling from his horse so he should eat some meat to recover. Be more sensible!”

“Chen Dao, Chen Dao, I’m fine.” I said as I took my meat and gave some to each of them, “Come, everyone should eat too. Today’s been hard on everyone after all.”

“Aiyaya! My lord, you… I, Chen Dao, will fight to my last drop of blood to make sure my lord returns safely!”

Chen Dao, that’s a little too much. Why do you always have to exaggerate things that much?”

“Meat, fresh meat~ Thank you my lord. My lord is the best.” Zhou Cang’s att.i.tude completely changed, and she even addressed me as lord instead of Imperial Uncle. Isn’t she a little too easy to trick?

“Hmph! You think you can earn my loyalty with some meat? Let me tell you, you only earned a little bit of it! If you want my loyalty to increase further, you will have to promote me!”

Official positions and t.i.tles aren’t left to me. Gong You handles it.

“By the way, the troops on the west side were difficult to command and were unwilling to follow my orders as well. And for some reason, the men keep looking at me.”

“Well of course they will be. Your looks and figure are all outstanding after all.” Chen Dao said what I’d always thought but never said.

“Really? I don’t think I’m that eye-catching at all. Come to think of it, I’ve never paid attention to my looks too.” Zhou Cang ate her food with big mouthfuls as she said so.

Looks like she is completely unaware of it huh. If that’s the case then we won’t get through to her.

“You really make people mad, whether it’s these cheeks or these b.r.e.a.s.t.s.” Chen Dao said as she reached out with a serious expression and rubbed Zhou Cang’s face, and moved her hands down Zhou Cang’s twin peaks.

“Un? What’s the matter?”

I was already red from watching but Zhou Cang was completely oblivious and unperturbed. It seems like you can do anything to her as long as you don’t get in the way of her eating.

“Though your b.r.e.a.s.t.s aren’t especially big, they feel like they’re softer than Lord Zhao Yun’s. I must say, your b.r.e.a.s.t.s are nice to feel.”

“Un? Really? I didn’t know, hahahaha!”

“Wu… All her specifications are so good, but her personality is like this.”

Judging from Zhou Cang’s refres.h.i.+ng laugh, she probably thinks that Chen Dao is praising her.

“Idiot.”

I thought that Chen Gong who was silently eating until now wasn’t paying too much attention to us but then I heard her utter a single word disdainfully. I looked and saw that she was trying to lift up her b.r.e.a.s.t.s with 1 hand with an angry expression on her face. Of course, she doesn’t have much she can lift up.

Looks like most women are rather concerned with that, apart from some obtuse ones.

“What is everyone discussing?”

Just then, a floating and gentle voice came from behind. If you only listened to the voice, you might have thought that it came from a deity

But that was clearly impossible, and I was actually rather familiar with that voice.

I turned around, and saw a girl wearing long robes with a bagua motif staring straight into my eyes.

“Eh?! Yi Ji?”
