"Zhu Jingli?!"

Seeing reinforcements arriving beside Lu Bei, a man and a woman were both greatly shocked, "Why is the old man not waiting at the ancestral home for his oil to run out and lamp to burn out, but coming to Yue Province instead? Is he pretending to be lost in the chaos so he can create problems in our Xiongchu?"

"What an old trick of the guilty party always complaining first. The Virtuous King still has such a thick-skinned heart."

Zhu Jingli let out a dry laugh, "The moment the Xiongchu royal family entered Yue province, their whereabouts were in the hands of my Wu Zhou Xuanyin Department. Although they are undesirable guests, they have an honorable status, hence, I had to personally entertain them."

"Impressive! As expected of our Xuanyin Department, getting hold of important information so early," Lu Bei nodded in agreement, even though he didn't quite understand. As a Purple Guard, praising oneself at this moment wouldn't hurt.
