Guan Yu asked about Liu Bei's situation, but not many people knew about it, but when he asked about Tao Qian, many people gave him directions to the city. Liu Bei took advantage of Tao Qian's favor and stationed in the city, avoiding a lot of hardships in the wind and snow.
When we walked to the city gate, we saw a few people in the distance, but the heavy snow made it difficult to see their faces.
"Second brother, but second brother is back?" Liu Bei recognized the tall horse from a distance and couldn't help calling.
Guan Yu was shocked when he heard this, dismounted from his horse, and galloped forward, only to see Liu Bei and his men standing at the gate of the city. At this time, a thick layer of snow had fallen on Liu Bei's head and body.
"Brother!" Guan Yu quickly walked closer, unable to kneel down.
"What are you two doing, why don't you help Yunchang up quickly?"
Liu Bei pulled Guan Yu and shouted to Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.
Zhang Fei snorted and ignored it.
Zhao Yun hurriedly walked forward and helped each other, "General Guan, please get up quickly. Let's talk in the city. Ever since you left the city, eldest brother has been waiting here. We were afraid that you wouldn't come, so we tried hard to persuade him for a long time, but eldest brother kept saying that you would come. Yes, no matter how hard I try to persuade you, you won’t listen, and you should be freezing by now.”
"When I saw Yun Chang today, it was like a fire was lit in my heart. I can't feel the cold anymore. Come on, it's snowing well today. We brothers just took advantage of the snow scene to have a drink."
Liu Bei and Guan Yu held hands and returned to the city. Zhang Fei followed behind with a sullen expression and said nothing, while Zhao Yun went to fetch the red rabbit horse.
When they returned to the place where a few people lived, the food and wine had been prepared, and they were waiting for everyone to come back and have a drink.
Liu Bei didn't make any plans in advance and kept drinking. After several glasses of wine, the bodies became much warmer.
"Brother, aren't you Pingyuan Ling? How did you get here?"
After Guan Yu drank a few glasses of wine, he couldn't help but ask the question he was most concerned about.
Liu Bei waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yun Chang, don't mention the Pingyuan Order anymore. Now I am just in white."
Guan Yu was stunned when he heard this. Zhao Yun took over and briefly told how Liu Bei had to worry about raising money to build the palace, how he was made things difficult by the governor, how Zhang Fei got angry, and how he whipped the governor.
"Let's not mention this matter. There is nothing pity for a county magistrate. Nowadays, without an official, you are light. It is fun to fight on the battlefield and win military honors! Come, let's drink!"
Liu Bei said boldly.
"Hmph, that thief postal supervisor, if my elder brother hadn't stopped me, I would have had to beat him to death." Zhang Fei said and took a swig. After drinking a glass, he continued, "I told you, it's better to go to Luocao and become a bandit." , living a carefree life. Last time we helped Huangfu Song suppress the bandits and made a lot of military achievements, but in the end, we didn’t get anything. If we had known that that boy Zhou Cang could get into such a situation, he would have done anything at that time. Kill him!"
"What nonsense! I am the great-great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, the queen of Zhongshan Prince Jing. How can I be an enemy of the imperial court? Don't even mention that I will become a bandit in the future!"
Liu Bei reprimanded Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. Zhao Yun hurriedly got up to smooth things over and pulled him to continue drinking.
Guan Yu felt embarrassed when he heard Zhang Fei mention Zhou Cang. Hearing Liu Bei's words again, he suddenly felt a fever on his face.
"Come, let's drink. Don't listen to the nonsense of the third brother. He has always been like this and speaks freely. Today in the lobby, he dared to talk to the cavalry general. Alas, it is getting more and more outrageous."
Liu Bei was also very helpless towards Zhang Fei. For this younger brother, he often made smiles to others.
"The third brother has a straightforward temper, but he is talking without meaning. My eldest brother, please don't be angry." Guan Yu raised his wine glass and advised.
"Who do you call third brother?" Zhang Fei suddenly raised his head and said when Guan Yu mentioned him.
"Okay, this matter can't go on forever. Yun Changdu has returned safely. Don't show off your donkey temper again."
Liu Bei cursed.
"Is this strong man Zhao Yun?" Guan Yu didn't want to argue with Zhang Fei on this occasion, so he changed the subject and asked.
"My younger brother is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong. I would like to thank General Guan for showing mercy that day." Zhao Yun spoke sincerely, as if the two of them had just had a friendly discussion in Zhaojiazhuang.
"We don't know each other until we fight. If I did anything wrong that day, please don't mind Zilong. By the way, have you improved your marksmanship now? How many spears can you stab with one shot?"
Seeing Zhao Yun being so sincere, Guan Yu couldn't help but feel good about him. He still remembered Zhao Yun's stunning and decisive shot.
"My qualifications are dull. I can only pierce six spear flowers now, but it will be difficult to go further. I will have to ask General Guan for more advice in the future." Zhao Yun sighed.
Guan Yu was also very happy to know that his marksmanship had improved. Knowing that he was a humble man, he praised him, "Zilong has broken through another level in such a short time. Zilong is really a wizard in practicing marksmanship! Let's try it again when we have time later, so that I can experience it too."
Fan."
When Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were so speculative, he couldn't help but be elated, "I see, you are not brave men, General Guan is shouting. Although there is no peach garden today, the sky is filled with snow to prove it. How about the four of us renewing our sworn vows?"
"
Zhao Yun applauded repeatedly, Guan Yu also nodded enthusiastically, but Zhang Fei said leisurely, "I have no objection to renewing our sworn vows, but there is something that must be made clear first!"
When Guan Yu heard this, he sighed in his heart, Zhang Fei was still obsessed with this matter endlessly. How can this matter be put to an end? Do you want the elder brother to show his magical power and knock him down once?
"Third brother, why are you so unfinished? I have told you so many times that there must be something hidden in this, and it is definitely not Yunchang's intention to surrender to the enemy. Besides, Zhou Cang is also an official of the imperial court, so there is no need to mention this matter again!"
Liu Bei was extremely angry when he saw that such a good atmosphere was ruined.
"Okay, since eldest brother said that this matter has been exposed, then it has been exposed! I, Zhang Fei, will never mention it again in the future!"
When everyone heard that Zhang Fei finally understood, their brows relaxed, "However, there is one thing I want to understand. Are you coming here this time to visit relatives and friends, or are you going to continue to explore the world with your elder brother?
I don’t understand, I’m afraid this sworn vow is meaningless!”
Guan Yu was hesitant when he heard this. He had taken refuge with Zhou Yuanfu for five years at that time. And since he became a sworn sworn brother, he always thought about himself. If he wanted to study, he would try his best to find "Spring and Autumn".
He won a Qinglong Yanyue Sword for his life. Is it unkind and unjust for him to leave him now?
He turned around and saw the eager gaze in Liu Bei's eyes, and felt even more embarrassed. If Liu Bei hadn't discovered him in the market and then proposed a plan to recruit local braves to suppress thieves, he would still be selling mung beans. Even if he joined the army, he would still be selling mung beans.
, and may have died in the rebel army long ago.
Liu Bei was kind to me, and Zhou Cang was kind to me, so it was really hard to choose!
"Hahaha," Zhang Fei saw that Guan Yu was still silent and looked up to the sky and roared, "You evil thief! Now that you have become Sima, you can't bear to be rich and powerful. I, Lao Zhang, was really blind at the time and looked down upon you!"
After saying that, Zhang Fei raised the wine jar and drank. After a few sips, a mouthful of blood spurted out along with the wine.
Several people were startled. Liu Bei picked up his sleeve and wiped his mouth. Zhao Yun stroked his back. Guan Yu tried to help him forward, but he pushed him away.
"Go away, go away, go away! Go find your brother Zhou Cang, enjoy your glory and wealth, and don't bother me again in the future!"
Zhang Fei was filled with despair at this time, and his heart was bleeding. He was not so sad even when Guan Yu was defeated and surrendered to the enemy. He kept telling himself that his second brother was coerced by thieves and could not help himself. Now Zhou Cang has become an official of the imperial court.
Naturally, we can no longer coerce him. He is already free! But he is so hesitant between staying and not staying. This man is so cruel. The oath he made at the beginning was all lies. I was really blind and sworn sworn with him.
!Don’t be brothers anymore, let’s kill everyone on the battlefield!
When Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei vomiting blood, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly asked Zhao Yun to help him rest.
Guan Yu had tears in his eyes again. He had shed all his tears on this day. They say it is difficult between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but it is difficult between elder brothers!
"Yun Chang, don't listen to that black guy. If you can become a sworn sworn brother with Yun Chang, Bei will have no regrets in this life. No matter whether Yun Chang chooses to stay or go back, you will be Bei's good brother! Besides, now Zhou Cang has also surrendered to the imperial court.
Everyone agrees that they will serve as officials in the same court in the future, so why should they be separated from each other? Yun Chang must not embarrass himself. Going back early will also make General Zhou feel at ease." Liu Bei was afraid that Guan Yu would be in trouble, and even urged him to go back quickly.
Guan Yu was even more embarrassed when he heard this. Liu Bei still wanted to be an official in the same court as Zhou Cang, but Zhou Cang thought about rebellion every day. These two people were not thinking about the same thing!
"Brother, Yun Chang has something you don't know whether to say or not?" Guan Yu thought carefully about his words.
There was still a glimmer of hope in Liu Bei's heart, and he said cheerfully: "Between you and me, brothers, there is nothing we can't talk about, but it doesn't matter!"
"Brother, since I followed Zhou Cang, all I have seen is that the people are in dire straits. The eunuchs in the court are in power and deceive the saints, and the decrees issued are all harmful to the people. Take the money to build the palace, for example, how many people have lost their wives because of this?
The whole family is gone! Anyway, my eldest brother is also white now. Why don’t we follow Zhou Cang together and we can..."
Guan Yu finally spoke his mind. In his opinion, it is the right way for several brothers to join Zhou Cang together. In this way, the brothers can be together again. With Zhou Cang's ability, he can quickly find an official position for everyone, which will also make life easier.
He was oppressed by the government.
"Haha, Yun Chang is really capable. He actually persuaded me to seek refuge with Zhou Cang. I am a member of the royal family, and Zhou Cang is nothing but a rebel!" Liu Bei said with some contempt.
"Brother, Zhou Cang is the great-great-grandson of General Xiliu Zhou Yafu after Jianghou Zhou Bo. He is also from a famous family. Moreover, he solved the crisis in Hanzhong and put down the rice thieves rebellion in Bajun. He never killed innocent people indiscriminately..."
"Yun Chang, you are so confused!" Seeing Guan Yu eloquently defending Zhou Cang, Liu Bei interrupted, "I don't know what Zhou Cang did in Yizhou this time, and I know exactly what he wants to do!
I guess someone in the court can understand, but now the court has no choice but to drink poison to quench its thirst. Yun Chang, everyone has their own choice. No matter what you choose, my eldest brother will support you. But I, Liu Bei, can't choose! After all, Han
Thieves cannot stand together!"
Han and traitors are not at odds with each other! Guan Yu was awakened at once. He originally hoped that Zhou Cang could be friends with Liu Bei, but from this point of view, the gap between the two could not be bridged no matter what.
