What just happened left Liu Bei puzzled. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were sworn brothers, so how could they have a falling out over half a piece of cake?
"Xuande, I'm fine...! You should get some rest, we need to relieve them later to continue protecting His Majesty!!"
Yuan Shao's face regained its usual amiable expression. He smiled at Liu Bei beside him, then closed his eyes. In his mind, he kept replaying the oath he had taken before the emperor. Between the fleeting emotion and loyalty, Yuan Shao firmly chose the latter.
Upon hearing Yuan Shao's words, Liu Bei nodded, then closed his eyes, and the large rest room fell into silence.
"Old Dian, have some too!..."
In front of Deyang Palace, Wen Chou took his and Yan Liang's share of food and came to Dian Wei, who was at the front of the line.

Xu Rong looked at Dian Wei and said softly, "It's rare that you still remember His Majesty's words. You should eat these things and take good care of yourself!"
"But...but His Majesty...broke his promise!!"
At this point, Dian Wei's eyes turned red, and he continued to stare intently at the gate of Deyang Palace. A single tear welled up in his tiger-like eyes.
