Two hours later, after his passionate speech ended, Liu Hong couldn't wait to leave the Imperial Guard Camp.
Soon, the group was divided into fifty groups of one hundred people each, with a member of the Imperial Guard serving as the group leader, responsible for their daily training.
Whether by design or coincidence, Hua Xiong and Sun Jian, these two arch-rivals, were not only assigned to the same group, but also to the same dormitory.
However, Hua Xiong could also see that Sun Jian was not someone to be trifled with, so he did not provoke him.
On the other side, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, these two old buddies, also unsurprisingly came together.
"Benchu, I told you long ago, you can't escape my grasp. How about it? Want to sleep together tonight?"
As he spoke, Cao Cao raised an eyebrow and looked at Yuan Shao with a wicked smile.
Yuan Shao covered his forehead and said irritably, "Aman, this is the Imperial Guard Camp, stop acting strangely, okay?"
"Tch, that's boring."
Seeing Yuan Shao's serious expression, Cao Cao curled his lip and turned to look at Liu Bei, who was focused on tidying up the bedding.

Then Liu Bei asked, "Brother Benchu, are you from the Yuan family of Runan?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's expression changed slightly. Just as he was wondering how to respond, Cao Cao sneered, "Hmph~ You big-eared fellow, Yuan Shao is Yuan Shao. What business is it of yours which family he comes from?"
"Mengde!"
Yuan Shao noticed that Liu Bei's expression was a bit off, so he quickly spoke up to stop Cao Cao, but Cao Cao snorted angrily and stopped talking.
Liu Bei then realized that he might have said something wrong, and said sincerely, "Brother Benchu, Brother Mengde is right. Now we are all His Majesty's students. It doesn't matter which school we come from. It was I who was presumptuous!"
