Ye Gong Bridge, ten miles away from Xiaopei City.
Mei Zhen stood at the bridgehead. The moonlight shone on her light yellow clothes, reflecting a moving light. Her beautiful eyes wandered about, and no one knew what she was thinking about. Finally, her eyes fell on the back of Han Shang, who was tall and sturdy.
" Are you worried that I won't give you the Flame Jade after this?" Mei Zhen asked.
Han Shang wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to get the Flame Jade. Taishi Ci and Mei Zhen were both outstanding people. Even if they disguised their appearances, they couldn't hide the extraordinary elegance that seeped out from their bones. They would be recognized no matter where they ran.
" Do you want to escape to Chang 'an and live in seclusion? Taishi Ci is a genius. Are you willing to live an ordinary life?" Han Shang asked. He was asking Taishi Ci to give up his ambition for a woman. How many men in the world could do that?
Mei Zhen suddenly became irritated. She wasn't confident either, so she said coldly," Isn't that what you want? If Taishi Ci really doesn't come, wouldn't it be too good for you?" She changed her name from Big Brother Taishi to Taishi Ci. Although it was just a form of address, it showed Mei Zhen's true feelings for Taishi Ci. If Taishi Ci really didn't come, this woman would hate him for the rest of her life.
Han Shang smiled awkwardly when he heard this. How could such a beauty not be moved?" You should have sent the Flame Jade over earlier. If you were to leave after this, where would I find you?"
Now that Han Shang already had a piece of Flame Jade in his hands, if he could obtain another piece, he would be able to combine the two into one and upgrade it to a Level Two Flame Jade. At that time, its power would be even more shocking.
" Alright, if you break your promise to me, I will use all sorts of methods to take your life," Mei Zhen said fiercely. She could indeed use many people who could kill Han Shang, such as her future brother-in-law Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, or her lover Donglai Taishi Ci.
Han Shang smiled nonchalantly." Of course I'll do my best. However, can I ask for some interest?" He turned around as he spoke.
"Don't turn around!" Mei Zhen shouted in fright.
Han Shang revealed a proud smile and said in a childish voice," Young Miss is so beautiful, how can you not let others see you?" Finally, she didn't turn around, afraid that she would scare away the beauty behind her.
" You hooligan, what interest do you want? Didn't I promise to give you the Flame Jade first?" Mei Zhen's voice became gentle.
Han Shang blinked his eyes and unconsciously revealed an evil smile. A kiss or a hug is fine, right?"
Mei Zhen's cute face turned red as she spat at the side and cursed," Damn pervert!"
Han Shang was even more pleased and said,"Then I'll let you kiss and hug me."
"Pui, pui, pui!" Mei Zhen turned around and spat."I've never seen anyone as thick-skinned as you. May I ask where you live now?"
Han Shang laughed out loud and replied,"The best place to stay is the Elegant Residence."
" Oh, I know. Zhen 'er has left. I'll send someone to look for you." He turned around and left.
Han Shang turned around and looked at Mei Zhen's beautiful figure as she left. He whispered,"I want the bear paw, I want the fish, I want both."
The next morning, the warm sunlight shone through the window into a private room in the Elegant Residence.
Han Shang and Zhao Yun were enjoying breakfast in the room when a knocking sound came from the door. Zhao Yun opened the door and saw a servant in plain clothes standing at the door with a brocade box in his hand.
" Sir, someone sent me to deliver this brocade box to your room," the servant said.
Zhao Yun's gaze swept across the brocade box, and a wave of heat surged in the depths of his mind. He couldn't help but let out a 'huh' sound as he took it.
Han Shang knew that Mei Zhen had sent someone to deliver the Flame Jade, so he smiled at Zhao Yun and said," Guess what treasure is inside. If you guess correctly, I'll give it to you."
Zhao Yun smiled and said,"Does my lord know what treasure is inside?"
Han Shang revealed a smug expression. He smiled without saying a word and nodded.
" Yun, I guess it's the Divine Flame Jade," Zhao Yun said confidently.
" Pa, pa, pa." Han Shang clapped his hands slowly." Zilong guessed it right. This Flame Jade is yours. Cao Rendao has another piece of Flame Jade. The two pieces of Flame Jade will be upgraded to a second-grade Flame Jade. Then, they will be embedded in Zilong's Spear and become a peerless divine weapon."”
Zhao Yun cupped her hands and said,"Thank you, my lord."
Han Shang waved his hand and continued,"Even with the Stage Two Flame Jade Spear and the Divine Item Azure Rainbow Sword, I don't have the confidence to win against the Demon God Cao Zixiao. The threat of the Hellfire is too great."
Zhao Yun nodded and continued," The hellish flames can continuously consume the opponent's life force and protective true qi. According to Buyi Divine Image Sect's description, the divine item, the Black Tortoise Axe, can completely resist the damage caused by the hellish flames after transforming into a petrified saint."
Sun Ce's muscular body flashed across Han Shang's mind.
" Dong dong dong." There was another knock on the door. Zhao Yun opened the door and saw a scholar in a long robe standing at the door.
" May I ask if the Herald of Jizhou, Lord Han Shang, is here? This is an invitation from our Liu Shijun." The man looked elegant and seemed to be a well-read person. He should be a civil servant under Liu Bei. He did not expect to be sent here to deliver an invitation.
Zhao Yun reached out to receive the invitation and said, Just give me the invitation."
The scholar turned around and left after delivering the invitation.
The general idea of the invitation was that Tao Qian, the herdsman of Xuzhou, had learned that Han Shang and Zhao Yun were passing by Xiao Pei. He had specially invited Chen Deng and Mi Fang to visit. Liu Bei, as the host, wanted to invite everyone.
……
At night, the Liu Residence was brightly lit.
In the inner hall, there was a stove. It was steaming hot, and occasionally flames would jump out.
A long table surrounded the stove, on which there was a table of wine and delicacies. From this, one could see that Liu Bei was a smooth person. As the host, he should have been the host, but Han Shang and Tao Qian were both state overseers, so they should have given up their positions.
However, Han Shang and Tao Qian were both Prefecture Overseers, so it was inevitable that the other person would be unhappy if he gave up the position of the head of the family to someone else. So he came up with such a clever plan to retreat from the position of the main family, surrounded by a circle, up and down with joy.
When Han Shang and Zhao Yun arrived at the Liu Residence, Liu Bei was already waiting for them at the entrance.
The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries before being led into the manor. A white-haired old man dressed in luxurious clothes came out from the inner hall to welcome them. Although he was already in his twilight years, his eyes and outline could still vaguely see his former glory.
The old man laughed out loud." I finally see that nephew Han is an outstanding talent. Duke Wen Jie is really blessed." This person was Tao Qian, the Mu of Xu Prefecture. His two sons were both of no talent. When they saw that Han Shang's talent and martial arts were famous in the world, they envied the late Han Fu.
Han Shang admired the old man in front of him. For the sake of the country and the people, he did not pass the family business to his own children but to the talented Liu Bei. Tao Qian had let Xuzhou Mu pass on his good name for a while.
" Tao Gong is noble and pure. Shang admires him." Han Shang bowed to Tao Qian.
