Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 83: The Founding Of A New Faction In Luoyang

Sun Qian agreed with the idea and now another problem has come out, getting Cai Wenji out of the Estate is also another problem as even though oriole members have infiltrated the Cai Clan estate, Cai Wenji movement was monitored by the elders even though the monitors will be gone but Cai Wenji leaving out on the open is too conspicuous.

While both of them are thinking of a way to get Cai Wenji out, Xun You tells them that they can take Cai Wenji out by the Kitchen Supplies Wagon that comes in and out every day. They can use the empty barrels and bribe the guards to look the other way and put a woman acting as Cai Wenji staying in her room.

Jia Xu and Sun Qian feel that is feasible if the guards can’t be paid off they can just eliminate him or knock him out or change the guard’s rotation with some Oriole members slipped inside to guard the back entrance.

Lie Fan let his advisors do the strategizing and scheming, even though he had future knowledge but his brain capability was below all people in this carriage. Even though Sun Qian was higher than him, Lie Fan could only give some ideas from the future that could be implemented by them.

They arrived at Lie Clan estate and got down from the carriage, Lie Fan told them to also prepare for tomorrow’s meeting where they would create their Faction to balance the battle in the Imperial Court between He Jin and the eunuchs. If they can make Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Lu Zhi join their side many neutral officials will join them.

Jia Xu, Sun Qian, and Xun You heed Lie Fan’s order and tell him that they will organize everything to perfection Lie Fan doesn’t have to worry about anything and Lie Fan can spend some personal time with his family.

Lie Fan thanked them and he left them to do their things while he walked inside and went towards Ying Yue’s room as he wanted to hold her about the promise or agreement between him and Diao Chan. He doesn’t want Ying Yue to feel left out and unimportant to him, so she should know about the decision he made to interact with more women.

In Ying Yue’s room, Ying Yue was doing some embroidery on a handkerchief making flower designs on it. She wanted to give this to Lie Fan so that he could bring a piece of her anywhere he goes as a Good luck charm.

Ying Yue was smiling happily when the embroidery was finally finished and when she turned her head to put down the needle, She saw Lie Fan standing in at the door looking at her with a smile.

Ying Yue: “Husband! Since when you are standing there?”

Lie Fan: “Not too long, I don’t want to disturb the beautiful moment I’m seeing hehe. What are you making so serious and smiling beautifully?”

Ying Yue: “I’m making this for your husband, a handkerchief with the chrysanthemum flower for you considered it a lucky charm for you.”

After Ying Yue finishes saying that she blushes as she is shy, this is the first time she is proactive and gives Lie Fan something. Lie Fan who heard that can only give a warm smile and warm gaze that melted Ying Yue.

Lie Fan approaches her and takes the handkerchief from her, Seeing the exquisite embroidery Lie Fan feels a bit guilty as Ying Yue makes him a token of love while informing her that maybe there will be another woman beside her in the near future who will become his wife.

Lie Fan: “Wife, actually I came here because I have something I wanted to tell you.”

Ying Yue: “Hmm? What is it, husband?”

Lie Fan: “I just came back from Master Wang Yun’s estate and met Miss Diao Chan, she told me that she wanted to uncover the feelings she has for me. If it’s love she wants to marry me and I agree to that arrangement.”

Ying Yue hearing that felt like a thunderbolt shooting her, She knew that someday this would happen but not this fast and certainly not before she was married to Lie Fan. She knew that Diao Chan had some feelings for Lie Fan, from the first day they met she could see the tension between her and Lie Fan.

Lie Fan seeing the pale Ying Yue immediately panicked, he didn’t know what to say as he didn’t have experience with women in his previous life.

Lie Fan: “Wife if you don’t agree with this, I will immediately cut off all contact with Miss Diao Ch-”

Ying Yue: “No need H-husband, I knew that this would happen someday I’m just surprised. As long as I still have a position in your heart you can do anything you want.”

Lie Fan sees the sacrifices she made so that she can still be with him pains his heart, he can only hug her kiss her forehead, and inwardly make a promise to himself that he can abandon all his wives except Ying Yue as she has been with him and accompany him sacrificing her feelings for him.

Yong Yue felt the warm hug and the kiss on the forehead warm her heart, even though she was pained by the revelation that Lie Fan had given her she knew that this would happen someday and she had to go through it so she could be with Lie Fan forever.

Both of them continued spending their time together hugging each other and seeing the birds from the window until they were told that dinner had been served and Yu Yan alongside Wanniang was waiting for them in the dining room.

When they arrived at the dining room, Yu Yan could see that something was bothering Ying Yue because of how absent-minded she was and staying silent throughout the dinner. She determined to talk with Ying Yue to ask if something was bothering her tomorrow.

Dinner was not as joyful as before, Lie Fan seeing this can only sigh and let Ying Yue process her feelings. He can feel the accusing eyes his mother gave to him so after saying goodbye to everyone he goes back to his room to rest for tomorrow.

The next morning, Lie Fan wakes up and takes a bath. While taking was bath he remembered Ying Yue’s pale face and shook his head to get him out of his dilemma focusing himself on today as this today would become one of his most ambitious moves he take.

Lie Fan after his bath immediately goes to meet his retinue and bodyguards together leaving the Lie Clan estate and going towards the Serenity Inn, the designated location for their meeting today as Serenity Inn is the only safe place that was secured from prying eyes. ｎ𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｃｏ𝚖

Arriving at the Serenity Inn, Lie Fan and his retinue go towards the 3rd floor where only VIP members of the Serenity Inn can enter. Today the floor was booked by him so only he and his guest can enter the 3rd floor.

Lie Fan takes his seat and begins to talk with Jia Xu, Sun Qian, and Xun You to talk about the foundation of the faction he will establish.

Lie Fan: “So what do we need to prepare for the establishment of our Faction?”

Jia Xu: “Yesterday the three of us discussed what we need to do for the Faction that My Lord led personally can establish a foothold here in Luoyamg. Firstly after our establishment, I hope that My Lord personally invited the neutral officials as only My Lord has the reputation that this Neutral official respects and will follow.”

Sun Qian: “Secondly after we have enough members, My Lord can announce My Lord’s Factions to both He Jin and The Eunuch. My Lord has taken the piece of pie left on the table where the remaining officials join My side and begin to contradict the movement that was made by both factions to ‘help’ the Emperor.”

Xun You: “Lastly My Lord will announce your Support subtly to The Emperor to ensure that the Court will go smoothly and from there we can carry favor with The Emperor until My Lord is trusted by The Emperor. From there our movement will be more open and easy as we will act as the Emperor’s protector and ignore both factions while pushing them to fight while we wait becoming the fisherman that will reap the benefits.”

Lie Fan: “Excellent! We will do what the three of you said!”

Lie Fan was ecstatic as with these 3 men, he now didn’t have to plan his movement wasting his energy and time. When They were talking, Lie Fan was informed that his guests had arrived and he told them to bring them in.

Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Wang Yun enter the private room at the same time. It’s a coincidence that the four of them arrived together which was fortunate as they didn’t need to wait anymore.

Lie Fan stands up to greet them and proceeds to tell them to take their seat. Zhu Jun who saw how dignified Lie Fan was now still couldn’t believe that the boy he had met before had grown to become a person more powerful than him in 2 years and Lie Fan still showed some potential to advance in ranks.

Lie Fan: “Greetings everyone, thank you for sparing your time for our meeting today. Today we will discuss the establishment of our Faction which has the purpose of protecting and stabilizing the Imperial Court! So do I have the support of Generals and Masters that come here today?”

Zhu Jun: “Of Course Little Lie! I alongside Old Huang and Old Lu support the establishment of Your Faction! We will help you rally support with the Military Generals and Officials!”

Wang Yun: “Governor Lie will always have my support since the time when you revealed the scheme those eunuchs have done in the Court!”

Lie Fan: ‘That’s great! So now let it be known today that the Baohuzhe (AT:Protector in Chinese) Faction is established! With I Lie Fan as the leader and General Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Lu Zhi alongside Master Wang Yun and Xun You become Inner Council members! Let the Heavens and Earth help our noble goal to protect the people and the Han Dynasty!”

(AT: With the number of Yes votes I received for the Idea that Y4RN1 gave to me! Then it will happen in the future chapters! Thank you to everyone that have spared their time to vote!)
