Chapter Sixteen: Look at Your Sister
"Haha, haha!" Lü Bu was very pleased with himself. This was the first time he had laughed so heartily since his defeat at Xiapi.
Mr. Lü is satisfied, that's all! Liu Mang also let out a sigh of relief, he touched his pocket, inside there were still 5,000 big yuan left from selling that robe, Liu Mang's heart moved! One robe can sell for 20,000, what about other things? For example, some calligraphy and paintings, or some antiques related to history in this era!
Liu Meng may not be from the economics department, but he also knows that antiques are valuable! In addition to antiques, there is another thing that is valuable in the Three Kingdoms, and that is gold! If you follow Lü Boss to occupy a piece of land and have a position, what's the worry about getting this gold?!
Just as Liu Mang was still in a daze, Lü Bu's expression changed and he suddenly became serious.
"Brother Liu Mang!" Lü Bu shouted sternly at Liu Mang.
"Ah!" Liu Mang heard Lü Bu's shout and hastily wiped his mouth before responding.
"This military rations you brought on time, and also brought me the divine weapon bestowed by the great ancestor, according to reason, I should heavily repay you!" Lü Bu put down his trident and sat in the center of the big tent, with three wives beside him, each one more beautiful than the last.
"No need for heavy repayment, just give me 180 gold and we're settled!" Liu Mang said bluntly.
"One hundred and eighty thousand taels of gold?!" Chen Gong shook his head with a bitter smile. If it were in ordinary times, or when Xuzhou was still under Lü Bu's control, Liu Mang's request would not be excessive at all, and Lü Bu might even have given more rewards. But now, they were breaking through the siege and fleeing! Who would bring gold with them? Only Lü Bu's three wives might have some jewelry on them!
"But!" Lü Bu added a "but"! Liu Mang's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding arose!
"Liu Mang, you rascal! You said you'd come back from heaven, but instead of going to my tent, or Chen Gong's tent, or even Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's tents, you had to appear in my daughter's tent. How do you explain this?" Lu Bu said with a flash of gold light in his eyes.
"Father!" Originally, Liu Mang's appearance in his own camp was only known to Lü Bu and Chen Gong, but now that Lü Bu had spoken, everyone around them heard it! It made Miss Lü's face suddenly turn red.
" Misunderstanding, this is absolutely a misunderstanding!" Liu Mang was entangled, how many days had it been since she... he had already been misunderstood so many times!
" Misunderstanding?!" Lü Bu looked at Liu Mang with a playful expression, and Chen Gong, who was standing beside him, also saw the look on Lü Bu's face and took a step forward, speaking in a righteous tone.
"What a misunderstanding!" Chen Gong said with righteous words, "A woman should be chaste and virtuous, guarding her body like jade. You've misinterpreted things and already seen the young lady's body, how can I let the young lady of Lü Bu's army meet people in the future? How can she get married in the future?"
"It's really a misunderstanding, that transmission... no, it was my great-grandfather who gave me the positioning of the White Sheep Saint Robe to descend into the mortal world, but the saint robe was taken by Miss Lü and I didn't know about it!" Liu Mang was speechless, his explanation clearly dissatisfying Lü Boss, who once again grasped his divine sword in his hand.
"This won't chop me off, will it?!" Liu Mang subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said "If you can't marry out, then marry me!" As soon as the words left his mouth, Liu Mang knew he was in trouble. Not to mention that Miss Lü was the daughter of Boss Lü and had a noble status, but her looks were absolutely stunning, a true beauty who could topple cities! In modern times, she would definitely be a genuine rich beauty, how could she possibly take a liking to him, a useless guy?!
"Who would want to marry a good-for-nothing like you!" Lü Qílíng was furious, tonight had been a terrible night, she had just finished performing her martial arts routine and was about to take off her armor to rest when suddenly this good-for-nothing appeared out of nowhere, not only did he see her completely but also...
Afraid of calling out loud, he even went forward and hugged himself, and touched, touched! Lv Qiling's face was all red! Bu knew whether it was being angry or being shy!
He actually dares to say that he wants to marry me himself, does he really think that I, a young lady, have no other suitors? Father will definitely not agree!
Lü Qí Líng and Liú Mǎng both believed that Lü Bù would not be able to answer, Liú Mǎng even wanted to slip away but where could he run to in this desolate wilderness? The transmission CD was still on!
"Good! A gentleman's word is like a runaway horse, impossible to catch!" Lü Bu slapped the chair and stood up. "Your marriage is settled then! Once we reunite with Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, and Guo Jia, you two will get married!"
"What?! Father!" Lü Qílíng cried out.
"What?! Liu Mang also stared at Lü Boss with wide eyes in incredulity."
"Father, I don't want to marry this good-for-nothing!" Lü Qílíng cried out in urgency.
Liu Mang was about to decline, but after hearing Lü Qiulian's words, Liu Mang seemed to be provoked. "Who wants to marry you, violent woman!" The marks of being beaten by Lü Qiulian were still there!
"Who are you calling a violent woman!" Lü Qílǐng's eyes flashed with anger as she shouted at Liu Mǎng.
"You are you!" Liu Mao said from behind Gao Shun's back.
"Are you looking for death, Dong Tu Zi!" Lü Qiulian, this little tigress, was furious, rolled up her sleeves and revealed her jade-like arms, ready to strike Liu Mang.
"Save me, Mother Tiger is killing people!" Liu Mang and Lü Qiulian played hide-and-seek around Gao Shun, making him extremely embarrassed. You said you'd stand here, but Mr. Liu was caught by the big sister, and he's definitely going to get a good scolding. With his small build, who knows if he can withstand it? If he can't, being treated like a wooden stake by the two of them would be very uncomfortable!
"What nonsense! Have you had enough of your antics?" Lü Bu suddenly roared in anger.
The movements of the two people stopped suddenly, and there was a big tiger on the stage!
"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, got this dragon-riding son-in-law!" Chen Gong was the first to react. He and Lü Bu were of the same mind. He was shocked by Liu Mang's cunning that day. If what Liu Mang said was true, then whoever got Liu Mang would get the world! Divine weapons and sharp tools, as well as rations for a thousand soldiers, suddenly appeared out of thin air. Although Liu Mang said he was following the will of the ancestors to pass on the throne to the Lü family, who knew what Liu Mang was really thinking?!
So now the key is to tie Liu Mang to Lü Bu's war chariot! Lü Bu currently has no city, no treasure, and the only thing he can take out is his own precious daughter.
Getting Diaochan is equivalent to getting half of Lü Bu's army.
"Old Master Lv, absolutely not!" Liu Meng wasn't unwilling to marry a beautiful wife back home. According to the twenty-something-year-old rascal Liu Meng, just having a girlfriend who was still alive would be good enough!
But beauty is one thing, can't your combat power be lower? Liu Mang has already been beaten once, don't want to be oppressed for a lifetime!
"Do you want to be irresponsible?!" On other issues, Lü Bu could compromise, but this one was an exception. A pair of tiger eyes stared at Liu Mang, making him swallow the words in his stomach.
Swallowed it down.
"Dad, I don't want to marry him!" Upon hearing Lü Qīlíng's words, Liú Mǎnglè was overjoyed. Not marrying me is great, please, Big Auntie, whatever you do, don't marry me!
"Parent's orders and matchmaker's words, how dare you talk back?!" Scolding Liu Mang and Lü Bu might be understandable, but scolding his own daughter is not quite normal.
"Mother? Second lady, third lady!" Father's persuasion was to no avail, Lü Qīlíng set his mind on Lü Bù's three wives.
"Is this not the case, my lord?!" Madam Ren, who was known as the number one beauty in ancient times, Diao Chan, spoke up, she being the most beloved of Lü Bu, and her affection for Lü Shaoqun was no less than that for Lü Bu.
"This is non-negotiable!" Lü Bu loved Diao Chan dearly, and would even give up his entire empire for her, but now he didn't give her any face.
Mrs. Yan was the elder lady and also the mother of Lv Qiling, she couldn't bear to part with her own daughter either, once her daughter got married, she would be someone else's wife, how could she possibly bear it! However, seeing her husband so resolute now, Mrs. Yan didn't dare to persuade him otherwise.
"Jiliang, your father is also doing it for your own good! Don't be reckless!"
"Hmph!" Seeing her parents say so, Lü Qīlíng knew she couldn't escape marrying this good-for-nothing. In a huff, she didn't care about the people present and stormed off towards her own tent.
Liu Mang had made up his mind, anyway he had already rescued Lü Bu, and had treated Boss Lü with utmost kindness, thinking of his own life in the future, it's better to wait for the transmission CD time to leave!
You can go and offer yourself to Sun Xiaquan or Yuan Dashao, sell them some modern armor and whatnot, they'll definitely treat you as a honored guest!
"Report!" A messenger ran in "Reporting to the master, enemy troops were found twenty miles ahead?!"
"Enemy troops found?!" Lü Bu's eyebrows furrowed "Cao Cao has arrived quite quickly indeed!"
"It's not Cao Cao!" Chen Gong shook his head, the Cao army was blocked at the Xiacai Gate, Wei Xu and Song Xian had delayed them for at least half a day, which was enough time for Lü Bu's army to pull away from the Cao army.
"It must be the troops dispatched from Guangling!" Chen Gong guessed.
"Guangling?!" Lu Bu's eyes flashed with killing intent. "Guangling Chen Deng!!" The Chen father and son had indeed wronged Lu Bu greatly! For the sake of their own family interests, they directly sold out Lu Bu! As for Wei Xu and Song Xian's betrayal, Lu Bu could still forgive them since they were once his sworn brothers, but this Chen family was a different story altogether!
"Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, follow orders! Come with me to meet Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong!"
"Yes!" Gao Shun and Zhang Liao each returned to their camps, mobilized their troops, and joined Lü Bu in the battle.
Liu Mang had originally planned to slip away at this time, but was held back by Lü Bu "Come on, Liu Mang's son-in-law, let's take a look at the divine weapon in my hands for the first time!"
"Whoa, look at your sister!"
