  ————

  "Husband, look at Ah Dou..." Lady Gan lifted Ah Dou up in front of Liu Bei.

  Liu Feng rushed up with everyone else, and when he saw Adou in his swaddling clothes, his heart skipped a beat.

  That originally spotless baby now had a bloodstain on his back, obviously having been injured.

  Liu Feng vaguely remembered that when he first took over A Dou from Mrs. Mi, he had carefully examined him and found the child to be in good health, so how did a scar suddenly appear on his back?

  "It was when he fell off his horse during a battle with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that Adou was injured."

  Zhao Yun's words reminded Liu Feng that even adults, if they didn't practice martial arts, could fall off a fast-running horse and get crippled or killed, let alone Adou, who was just a fragile baby.

  Liu Feng should have thought of this point as soon as possible, but at that time the war was fierce, and after escaping from death, he was busy fleeing south all the way, and forgot to check if Ah Dou was intact.

  "What's going on?" Liu Bei, as a father, couldn't help but lose his temper after seeing his own flesh and blood injured.

  "At that time, we encountered over a hundred Tiger and Leopard Riders. We were about to break through when an enemy general surnamed Xiahou suddenly appeared from behind and cut off my sword with his treasured sword that could slice through iron like mud. At the same time, he also cut off the cloak wrapped around my younger brother, causing Adou to fall off the horse. Most likely, it was because of this that he got injured."

  Liu Feng truthfully explained the situation at that time. In the matter of Ah Dou's injury, although Liu Feng felt a lingering regret in his heart, he did not have any self-reproach. After all, under such adverse circumstances, he had already exhausted all his strength. Who could have anticipated encountering the Green Dragon Sword, such a formidable weapon?

  "Nonsense, where is the sword that can cut through iron like mud? You must not have taken good care of Ah Dou and are now making up lies." Perhaps it was a mother's instinct, seeing her son injured, Lady Gan temporarily lost her composure and actually publicly scolded Liu Feng in front of many people.

  Gan's resentment instantly stung Liu Feng's heart, his sword-like eyebrows suddenly furrowed, the muscles on his face twitching slightly, his indignant gaze bursting out of his eyes, he was truly enraged.

  He could have dropped this "threat" and walked away, or even taken advantage of the chaos to get rid of Adou, but he didn't.

  He could also have jumped off his horse to save the kid when Adou fell, without putting himself in harm's way and risking being trampled by the tiger or leopard, but he didn't.

  Now, risking life and death, I sent this child who has no blood relation to me to the woman who is supposed to be his mother. Not only did she not thank me, but she also blamed me for not taking good care of her son.

  What kind of logic is this? Even a wooden puppet would get angry.

  Liu Feng really wanted to blow up on the spot, but he endured it. After all, Gan was a woman, and as a man, he didn't want to stoop to her level.

  Moreover, this woman was also his nominal stepmother. In an era of strict hierarchical relationships between ruler and subject, even if she had deliberately done so, Liu Feng could not have committed such an act of lèse-majesté in front of everyone, as it would not only fail to help him defend himself but also put him in a more disadvantageous position.

  "But if I don't fight back, does it mean I'm admitting that I was wrong?"

  Just as Liu Feng was at a loss for words, Zhao Yun stepped forward decisively and bowed his hands, saying: "Madam, please calm your anger. The eldest young master risked his life to protect the younger one all along the way, but at that time, there were many enemies and few of us, and the eldest young master was also injured. If he had been slightly careless, it would have been unavoidable. There is also much blame to be placed on me for not protecting him well enough. Please forgive him, madam."

  Zhao Yun is indeed a man of his word, standing up once again to defend Liu Feng.

  Zhao Yun had followed Liu Bei since he was in Hebei, and for over a decade, they went through life and death together. Although his official position was not as high as that of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and even lower than that of newly joined Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, Liu Bei's trust in him was irreplaceable. As soon as he spoke, Lady Gan dared not complain again.

  Liu Feng took advantage of Zhao Yun speaking for him and hastily removed the Qingying sword, holding it with both hands towards Liu Bei: "This is the precious sword that my son obtained. This sword is extremely sharp, even my armor can be cut through, if I hadn't reacted quickly, it would have been cut off by this slash, Father please take a look."

  Liu Bei did not look at the sword in Liu Feng's hand, but turned his head and glared at Gan Shi, scolding: "My son Liu Bei is injured, what's the big deal? Why don't you let the doctor treat Ah Dou's injury, what are you doing here making a racket?"

  Liu Bei scolded her like that, Lady Gan didn't dare make another sound, and could only hold Adou and turn away from the crowd.

  Liu Bei turned around, his clear and cold eyes suddenly filled with kindness. He pressed down the sword in Liu Feng's hand and comforted him with a smile: "How could I not know how to treat my younger brother? You've had a hard day today, get some rest early, tomorrow morning we'll set off for Hanjin to meet up with Yunchang."

  Liu Bei didn't ask about Liu Feng's injuries, only roughly comforting him with a few words. The people present were all exhausted and the matter had ended, so they didn't have the energy to pay more attention to him. Everyone found their own place and leaned against the fire pit, soon falling into a deep sleep.

  The Battle of Changban, the main force of Liu's infantry was almost completely lost. Moreover, Cao's army had already pursued and it was no longer realistic to rush south to seize Jiangling, the seat of Nanjun Prefecture. Fortunately, shortly after passing Dayang Bridge, Liu Bei met with Lu Su from Eastern Wu and initially agreed on a plan to jointly resist Cao Pi's southern invasion.

  Liu Bei then sent Zhuge Liang and others to rush to the eastern Hankou Port overnight, to contact Guan Yu's water army, and after meeting at Hankou, they would retreat south along the Han River to Jiangxia, where they would join forces with Liu Qi's troops and make further plans.

  Having personally experienced the Battle of Changban, Liu Feng knew that history had already begun to change. Fortunately, however, Liu Bei's strategic changes seemed to still be following the course of history, and if so, safely passing through this crisis of Cao Cao's southern invasion should not be a problem.

  Liu Feng is now concerned about the unpleasant episode that just occurred, and its impact on himself.

  He had originally thought that if he fulfilled his promise to Lady Mi, successfully rescued Adou and was able to help improve his own embarrassing status. However, the unexpected events that occurred along the way caused Adou to be injured, but unexpectedly offended Lady Gan instead.

  Although Liu Bei had explicitly expressed his trust in him, Liu Feng could still feel that beneath Liu Bei's benevolent appearance, a hint of dissatisfaction had already begun to form.

  "Is it against our wishes?"

  Lying in a corner far away from the bonfire, Liu Feng gazed up at the twinkling stars filling the sky, but the gloom in his heart was growing heavier. The wounds on his body still throbbed with pain from time to time, but for someone who had experienced life and death, this bit of pain was nothing.

  What really made him feel uneasy was the unfathomable depth beneath those benevolent eyes.
