Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

"Haha, Lord Xuande, how have you been?"

A moment later, a refined and gentle young man dressed in scholar's robes slowly walked in.

Who else could it be but Mi Zhu?

"Zizhong?"

Liu Bei and his two companions were taken aback, then overjoyed.

"After our parting in Xuzhou, Yide got drunk and made a mistake, losing Xuzhou and causing you to be imprisoned. I have been filled with remorse ever since, and my heart aches when I dream at midnight. I wish I could cut off Yide's head and go to your residence to apologize, but I didn't know where you were... Now that I see you are safe and sound, I am overjoyed."

It must be said that Liu Bei was not particularly talented in either military or political affairs.

The first half of the body is almost always a losing battle.

However, his skills in winning people's hearts and minds are unparalleled.

With just a few words, he portrayed himself as an innocent and righteous person.

Even if he harbored immense resentment, Liu Bei would likely be unable to unleash it in the face of this situation.

In fact, these words successfully brought the two of them closer together.

It not only expressed his concern.

This further demonstrates the importance they attach to it.

I'd even kill my third brother for you, so just ask if you're moved?

"Quickly, let me see if the gentleman is injured anywhere."

As he spoke, Liu Bei looked Mi Zhu up and down, his affection for him evident.

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Xuande. I hope Mi Zhu is well."

Mi Zhu was also quite moved.

However, thinking back to how Liu Bei had ignored his advice, which led to the disaster he suffered that day, he was still deeply troubled.

So I wasn't as moved.

No matter how well Liu Bei behaved, he still showed favoritism and was far less attentive to Zhou Heng than he had been to him.

This is just a superficial appearance.

Moreover, he has already acknowledged Zhou Heng as his master.

How can one be indecisive?

I have failed my lord's trust.

He immediately said calmly.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei frowned immediately.

Based on his experience, he thought that his combination of punches would leave anyone stunned.

Based on his understanding of the other party, he should have been extremely grateful.

Why did he act so calmly?

Could there still be resentment in his heart?

Upon realizing this, Liu Bei felt a slight sadness.

However, they quickly came up with a solution.

He then glared fiercely at Zhang Fei beside him.

"It's all your fault, you good drinker! You almost ruined one of my national heroes."

"Now that Zizhong has returned safely, why don't you quickly apologize with a bundle of thorns on your back?"

“If Zizhong does not forgive you today, I will no longer have you as my third brother.”

Liu Bei said sternly.

His words were undeniably harsh.

To rebuke one's own brothers in this way for an outsider.

Anyone would be moved.

This is what Liu Bei thought to himself.

Of course, he did this not just for Mi Zhu.

After all, although Mi Zhu was good, he was still far inferior to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

The reason for doing this is because Mi Zhu has the entire Mi family behind him.

It's important to understand that we lost the support of the Mi family during this period.

He lived a very frugal life.

He didn't want to live such a poor and destitute life for even a day longer.

The best solution, of course, is to obtain Mi Zhu's forgiveness.

They regained the support of the Mi family.

With the support of this richest man, even without Lü Bu, I might still be able to withstand him.

"Pfft."

“Mr. Zizhong, it was my fault back then. You can beat or scold me as you please, I only ask that you forgive my elder brother.”

"If you still feel it's not enough, then please take this knife and behead me."

“If I, Old Zhang, blinked, I wouldn’t be a man.”

Zhang Fei spoke in a gruff voice, and as he spoke, he pulled out a dagger from behind his back and handed it to Mi Zhu.

Zhang Fei was naturally well aware of Liu Bei's thoughts.

After all, the three brothers have done similar collaborations many times since their debut.

The most classic example is when Guan Yu let Cao Cao escape at Huarong Road.

That combination of punches even stunned Lu Su, let alone Mi Zhu.

However, that was only the Mi Zhu of the past.

The Mi Zhu of today is not the Mi Zhu of the past.

Zhou Heng knew that with Mi Zhu's return, Liu Bei would inevitably resort to his usual tactics of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

Naturally, they had already anticipated this.

So, long before setting off, he had already told Liu Bei about the little tricks he might play.

So at this point.........

Mi Zhu did not feel particularly moved.

On the contrary, they felt that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were just like clowns.

Having watched such a grand spectacle for no apparent reason, I couldn't help but feel a strange sensation within me.

"If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

Mi Zhu couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Of course, he couldn't say that on the surface, otherwise the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei would have killed him.

Therefore, Mi Zhu was also flattered.

"Third General, what is the reason for this? You are too kind to ask for this."

"Please get up quickly."

"The situation was critical at the time, and it's normal that the Third General didn't have time to inform me. How could I possibly hold a grudge?"

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but give Zhang Fei a thumbs up in his heart, thinking to himself, "This is a sure thing."

With just a little more effort, the other person will surely return to your embrace.

He gave himself strong support, even forbidding his younger sister from being sent to his bed.

Thinking about it, Liu Bei was even more delighted.

However, the next moment, Mi Zhu's next words completely stunned him.

"Besides, I have already acknowledged Zhou Heng as my master, and we each serve our own master. There is no need for the Third General to do so."

"boom."

Upon hearing this, the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were completely dumbfounded.

Nani?

Didn't we agree that once I was moved, I would immediately return to my embrace?

What the hell is this about switching sides?

Since you've already sided with someone else, why are you coming back to me?

Depend on.

Mr. Liu was completely stunned and didn't react for a long time.

The fake smile that had been on his face froze at that moment.

"Zizhong, what do you mean by that?"

After a long while, Liu Bei finally spoke in a low voice.

"Ah, Lord Xuande, this is a long story. I was saved by my lord that day..."

Mi Zhu was just about to explain.

After all, we still need to use Liu Bei later, so it wouldn't be good if things got too tense.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Fei interrupted him.

"Hmph, you bastard, you clearly betrayed my elder brother, yet you speak so sweetly. Bah... You betrayed my elder brother and still have the nerve to come back? You're clearly just here to laugh at us. I'll kill you."

Zhang Fei roared in fury.

In his view, Mi Zhu had previously sided with his elder brother, so he was one of his elder brother's men.

Without his elder brother's permission, he secretly sought refuge with someone else.

Isn't that being a traitor?

The fact that he had knelt before him before all this only fueled his anger.

Without hesitation, he wanted to kill Mi Zhu first.
