The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 208: Reactions from all sides, Liu Bei's true face revealed

"I can't believe Brother Fang is actually the King of Xiliang? And now he's the president of Xiliang High School!"

Cao Cao was reading the newspaper with everyone, and a very complicated light flashed in his eyes.

"Ma Chao, have you known Fang Mu's identity for a long time?"

"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm so sorry. My master asked me to keep this a secret from everyone. He said he wanted to get along with everyone as an ordinary person!"

Ma Chao scratched his head and spoke a little embarrassedly.

"No wonder when we became sworn brothers, my eldest brother invited Fang Mu to join us. Fang Mu said he met the requirements for admission to the Eastern Han Academy. It turns out Fang Mu was already a prince at that time!"

Guan Yu couldn't help but admire that a person of such noble status but not arrogant was indeed worthy of his respect.

"But then again, Fang Mu just became the principal, and he immediately announced that he would attack Donghan Academy, Jiangdong University, and Runan University. Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

Huang Zhong looked at the contents of the newspaper. Although he knew that Fang Mu wanted to attack Dong Zhuo, it was a bit too exaggerated to attack these three first-class schools of the Han Dynasty at one time.

"No, I'm going to ask Fang Mu!"

Ah Xiang immediately returned to her seat, put all her things on the desk into her schoolbag, and then rushed to Cao's house to get her luggage.

"My eldest and second brothers are such good friends with Fang Mu, so why would Fang Mu attack Jiangdong? And with our Jiangdong army here, Fang Mu will definitely lose miserably. I must go back and tell my eldest and second brothers this news immediately!"

"I don't think so!"

Cao Cao put the newspaper in his hand aside and spoke to the few people with a heavy expression.

"Actually, I told my father about this when Dong Zhuo sent us to quell the rebellion. Later, my father told me that he secretly sent 500-man Sea Dragon and Navy Seal troops to protect us. However, when we were ambushed by the White Wave Yellow Turban bandits, they were about to help but were stopped by another troop!"

Cao Cao raised his head slightly and looked towards Xiliang.

"Maybe that unit is Fang Mu's unit!"

"President, are Fang Mu's troops really that strong that they can actually stop your Cao family's troops?"

Zhao Yun was also full of doubts when he heard this. He often saw Cao Cao's troops, and they could be said to be elite troops.

"I can guarantee that Fang Mu's troops are stronger than my Cao family's troops!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath and then spoke to everyone.

"Everyone, since Fang Mu is sending troops to attack Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo will definitely not just sit there and wait for death. He will most likely ask us to fight in his place. I think everyone should quickly find an excuse to leave school, so as not to be used as cannon fodder by Dong Zhuo!"

"I don't think so!"

Just as Cao Cao was making suggestions to everyone, Liu Bei walked up to them with a look of disdain on his face.

"That kid named Fang Mu is just the principal of a newly established school. That's in the Xiliang region. How many powerful troops can be trained in such a remote place? I think he's just bluffing!"

"Brother, how can you say that about Fang Mu?"

Guan Yu was very puzzled and looked at Liu Bei in doubt.

"Brother, didn't you have a very good relationship with Fang Mu before? Why do you seem to be not very optimistic about him now that he has announced his attack on Dong Zhuo?"

After hearing what Guan Yu said, Liu Bei's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and he immediately tried to make excuses for himself.

"That...that...that happened in the past. Now we are in the Eastern Han Academy, and he actually disregarded our past friendship and sent troops to attack us. How could I have a good relationship with such a person? You...you...don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Bei looked around with a guilty conscience and found that no one heard what Guan Yu said, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I believe Fang Mu sent troops to attack the Eastern Han Academy in order to overthrow Dong Zhuo's rule. Based on my understanding of him after spending so much time with him, he certainly wouldn't be the type to harm innocent people!"

Guan Yu still insisted on his opinion, but this also made Liu Bei a little unhappy, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

"You're such a fake! You've been impersonating me and serving as the eldest brother of the Five Tiger Generals for so long, yet you don't even know how to discipline your younger brothers. You even dare to teach me a lesson! And that bastard Fang Mu! When I first saw him, I knew nothing good would come of being around him! Fine, if you want to fight, I'll fight with you!"

Liu Bei immediately looked at the five tiger generals in front of him with eagerness to try.

"Everyone, I have a proposal! We must overthrow Dong Zhuo, but after overthrowing Dong Zhuo, I feel it is necessary to give our classmates a better tomorrow, so I hope that everyone can help me and support me in becoming the principal of Dong Han Academy!"

"??!!"

Liu Bei's words were so shocking that even Ah Xiang, who had packed up her things and was about to return to Cao's house, stopped and looked at Liu Bei in disbelief.

"Brother, you said you wanted to be the principal?"

"That's right. I, Liu Bei, am a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, the uncle of the current leader and the young emperor. I have a legitimate bloodline. And as the Eastern Han Academy is directly under the leadership of the leader of the entire school alliance, it's only natural for me to take over!"

Cao Cao, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Liu Bei, and kept looking at the man in front of him.

"Why does this Liu Bei give me a completely different feeling than before? Was his previous appearance of lack of ambition just a facade?"

Cao Cao secretly made up his mind and at the same time increased his vigilance against Liu Bei.

"The Eastern Han Academy must not fall into Liu Bei's hands!"

However, Liu Bei didn't seem to notice Cao Cao's gaze and continued to talk to his brothers.

"But, big brother, shouldn't the selection of the president of the Eastern Han Academy be decided by the entire school alliance? Isn't it a bit against the rules for us to do this?"

Huang Zhong looked at Liu Bei and raised his questions.

"Alas, what time is it now? Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! Besides, who in the world is more suitable than me, Liu Bei, to be the principal of the Eastern Han Academy?"

"Brother, you seem to have become a different person overnight!"

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei in front of him and shook his head. This man was far inferior to the big brother in Hepingli.

"Alright, alright, people change. I'm just expressing my ideals and ambitions. If you're still willing to acknowledge me as your big brother, then stop nagging and just follow me! Otherwise, don't blame me for not respecting brotherhood!"

Since Liu Bei had said so much, the brothers couldn't bear to sever their brotherhood like that. Seeing Liu Bei leaving, everyone said goodbye to Cao Cao and then chased in the direction Liu Bei left.

"Fei, why don't you leave?"

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Fei who stayed where he was. Zhang Fei just laughed and said that he had other things to do, then walked in the direction where Ah Xiang left.

……

"Sister-in-law, do you think my brother is weird?"

Zhang Fei quickly caught up with Ah Xiang and asked.

"Liu Bei is a little different than usual. This morning I asked him to play the new song he wrote for me, but he actually refused. And the way he held the guitar, it didn't look like he was very skilled at it!"

After receiving Ah Xiang's reply, Zhang Fei became more certain of his inner thoughts.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you say before that you were going to look for Fang Mu too? I have something to ask him too. Why don't we go together? That way, we'll have someone to look after us on the way!"

"Okay, I'll go back to Cao's house to pack up my things, and then I'll call Jinxiangtuan!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the ferry!"

……

At this time, Xiu was already in Xiliang, looking at the figure sitting on the high seat with some restraint. For some reason, he always felt that the back of the person above looked familiar.

"What's wrong? Why has Hu Yanjue Luo Xiu, the leader of the East City Guard of the Iron Guard, become so cowardly?"

Fang Mu stood up from his seat and slowly walked to Xiu.

"Fang Mu, is it really you? Did you save me?"

Xiu was a little surprised. Just a few nights ago, when he was out for a walk, he found someone struck by lightning. When he was about to go forward to rescue him, he fell into a trap. Someone also threw stones down from above. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have been seriously injured by the stones.
