Chapter 25. Lotus Blossoms Now fugitives, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei seek refuge at the home of Master Yu, a longtime acquaintance of Zhang Lei. There, Liu Bei is unexpectedly reunited with Lady Lotus, turning their desperate flight into a fleeting moment of hope and joy—he has sacrificed for his greater cause. But their sanctuary is short-lived. After receiving word that government officials may be pursuing the brothers, Master Yu urges them to leave before the authorities arrive. Forced onto the road once more, Liu Bei leaves Lady Lotus behind and reaffirms his grand ambition to restore the Han. The brothers bid their hosts farewell, vowing that they will meet again when autumn returns.

Chapter 24. The Hand That Offers, The Hand That Binds Liu Bei finally earns his first legitimate government post as magistrate of Anxi, believing public service will give him a foothold from which to restore order to a country falling apart. Instead, he discovers that honest leadership is powerless within a system ruled by bribery, exploitation, and corrupt officials protecting one another. When an imperial inspector threatens to remove him unless he pays a bribe, Liu Bei realizes that the position he worked so hard to attain has made him a servant of the very system destroying the nation. Refusing to compromise his principles, he abandons his office and leaves Anxi with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The three brothers become fugitives once again, wandering into an uncertain future with no official standing, no safe refuge, and no clear path toward fulfilling their dream of rebuilding the country.

Despite their decisive contributions to the victory over the Yellow Turbans, the brothers receive no recognition or reward from the deeply corrupt imperial court.

Chapter 22. Fall of The Yellow Turbans After the Yellow Turban leaders fall, lingering rebels continue to threaten the Han Empire, prompting Zhu Jun, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to besiege Wancheng. Although Liu Bei questions Zhu Jun’s ruthless refusal to accept surrender, he devises a successful trap that routs Han Zhong’s forces. When rebel reinforcements nearly overwhelm the imperial army, the timely intervention of Sun Jian—alongside Liu Bei’s decisive archery—kills the remaining commanders and secures victory, beginning a bond of mutual respect between two future heroes of the troubled age.

Chapter 20. Unsung Heroes Though the fire attack at Yingchuan ended in triumph, no laurels await the three brothers. Zhu Jun once again summons Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei—this time to Guangzong, where they are ordered to reinforce General Lu Zhi.

On their way to Guangzong, Liu Bei makes a shocking discovery: his former mentor, Lu Zhi, was falsely accused and stripped of his command. Realizing their loyalty was met with indifference and injustice, the three brothers are left questioning whether answering Zhu Jun's summons was the right decision.
