Chapter 658 The Female Beggar
Chizuru, who was standing to the side, twitched at the corner of her mouth.
I thought to myself, "This guy must be Fazheng. I've flattered the wrong person!"
Just then, Zhang Fei stepped forward in a gruff voice, "Brother, Fa Zheng is right! Now that we have the strength, what's wrong with becoming king? We don't need to pay attention to those who are gossiping!"
Huang Zhong nodded in agreement, “Yes, my lord, being promoted to King of Guanzhong will only benefit our army.”
Everyone agreed, feeling that Fazheng's words were quite right.
Chizuru watched this scene with great interest, thinking that the situation was quite amusing.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the crowd, Liu Bei pondered to himself.
...........................
Qianhe laughed and said, "You want to improve yourselves, but how can you be the King of Guanzhong? When Xuande unifies the world, it won't be enough for just one King of Guanzhong to be the king."
Chizuru's words reminded everyone.
Only then did everyone calm down.
Yup!
At that time, he will be the emperor!
Only then did they realize how naive they had been in promoting Liu Bei to the title of King of Guanzhong!
Without hesitation, everyone admitted they were wrong.
Liu Bei smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but the time is not yet ripe. Let's wait until I have completely annihilated Cao Cao and restored the Han Dynasty."
After hearing this, everyone felt that Liu Bei's words made sense.
Thus, the discussion about becoming king came to a temporary end, and everyone continued to drink heartily and plan for the great cause of defeating Cao Cao.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Liu Bei began his final sprint.
That is to eliminate Cao Cao!
Cao Cao is no longer viable; they must defeat him!
Chizuru, on the other hand, wanted to wander around.
He wanted to see the world at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Qianhe strolled along the streets of the late Han Dynasty, where the cries of street vendors rose and fell.
Suddenly, a female beggar appeared in front of him, her clothes were tattered and her eyes were full of exhaustion.
Looking at her, Chizuru sighed.
That's just how times are. The only right thing to do is for Liu Bei to end the chaos as soon as possible, cultivate high-yield crops, and promote them throughout the land.
Chizuru took out some money from her pocket and bought food and dry rations from the people on the roadside, which she then handed to her.
"Mine?" the female beggar asked, pointing to herself.
Chizuru nodded: "Eat."
She gratefully accepted it and then wolfed it down.
But thinking of her father and mother's upbringing, she sighed.
............................
Her name was Lü Lingqi, and she was Lü Bu's daughter.
He is already nineteen years old this year.
She ran away after her father died and wandered around.
She wanted to avenge him, but she also resented two other people.
One is Cao Cao, and the other is Liu Bei.
If it weren't for Liu Bei's words at the time, her father wouldn't have died.
Therefore, she harbored deep resentment towards Liu Bei and Cao Cao.
The world is now a battleground for the two of them, and she really doesn't want them both to die!
Chizuru looked at her, a pang of pity rising in her heart, and asked softly, "How do you make a living in this chaotic world?"
Upon hearing Qianhe's words, the female beggar swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "In these chaotic times of war, I can only beg on the streets to barely survive."
Chizuru nodded slightly: "Judging from your words and actions, you must have come from a wealthy family before? And your hands... are you a trained martial artist?"
Chizuru raised an eyebrow.
He noticed the calluses on the woman's hands.
This is something only those who practice martial arts year-round possess.
How could an ordinary person possibly have that?
Lu Lingqi was alarmed. She hadn't expected the Taoist priest in front of her to be so powerful, able to see through her disguise at a glance.
She shook her head again and again.
"Looks like you have a story to tell. Well then, take this money." Chizuru said, taking out some money and handing it to her.
Lu Lingqi stared at him blankly, then asked, "Why are you helping me?"
“You’re not the first. I’ve helped others along the way, and I’ll help them whenever I can,” Qianhe said, shaking her head.
"I wonder what has become of my benefactor?" Lü Lingqi asked again.
"This humble Taoist is Qianhe!" Qianhe said calmly.
"Qianhe!" Lü Lingqi was initially surprised and delighted. She had long heard of Qianhe's miraculous abilities, and she was a legendary figure in this chaotic world.
To help Liu Bei make a comeback.
With skills like these, what else could he be but a god?
..........................
But soon, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
She recalled her father Lü Bu's death. Although it was mainly Cao Cao's fault, Liu Bei's words, which added fuel to the fire, indirectly contributed to her father's tragedy.
But now Chizuru is assisting Liu Bei, isn't that aiding and abetting evil?
