Redeeming King Yuan Ji and compensating Gu Yuanping, with each coming and going, didn't Lu Bei just resupply?
The benevolent see benevolence, and the lustful see desire. With hundreds of diligent thoughts, King Yuan Ji saw Lu Bei as his kind and sent a message to his sister, asking her not to be fooled.
Mr. Lu has no good intentions. Releasing one hostage and retaining another, Xiongchu cannot be made a scapegoat.
Admittedly, King Yuan Ji did not guess Lu Bei's true intentions, but he was right about Lu Bei being up to no good.
But Gu Yuanping didn't think so.
Thinking back to the words said over the drinks and seeing Lu Bei's firm stance, Gu Yuanping sighed over this twist of fate, frowned and said, "If Master Lu is interested, Gu would not dare to interrupt. Let's limit it to three moves, win or lose, it won't harm the relationship between the Heavenly Sword Sect and Xiongchu, can it?"
"Agreed."
Lu Bei nodded in agreement.
