Now, if Zhou Ping refuses again, Liu Bei will think that he is either a fame seeker or dissatisfied with Liu Bei.
The drama has been done, and Liu Bei has paid enough attention to himself. According to the situation, it will only take a few days for Chen Deng to invite Liu Bei. No matter what happens then, Liu Bei will agree to Xuzhou's invitation and go to Xuzhou to take over the post of prefecture pastor.
Zhou Ping suddenly looked solemn, stood up and left the case, bowed deeply to Liu Bei, clasped his hands, and said sincerely: "Zhou Ping is willing to follow the envoy and worship the envoy as his lord!"
Liu Bei was stunned. He just asked him to accompany him to help him, but he didn't expect him to be so solemn and call himself "Lord".
After being stunned, Liu Bei immediately stood up, stepped forward to support Zhou Ping, and laughed and said: "Sir, you are so polite. Liu Bei thanks his ancestors. I am lucky to have you today. It seems that our Han Dynasty will be prosperous again and the people will be safe."
a ha ha ha……"
Liu Bei is really happy now. Zhou Ping calls him "Lord", which is equivalent to recognizing his lord, and he will follow Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the future.
In this way, he will have Zhou Ping, Tian Yu and Jian Yong, Wu Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen Dao by his side. When he gets to Xuzhou, he should have no problem guarding Xuzhou.
Defend Xuzhou and then capture Yangzhou, and the world will become easy to fight for.
Zhou Wen'an's previous strategy of "establishing Xu, seizing Yang, and conquering the world" is now progressing smoothly step by step.
"My lord, please come back. After I say goodbye to my brother today, I will go to Xiaopei tomorrow."
Since Zhou Ping decided to follow Liu Bei, he couldn't leave now. He didn't know when he would be able to come back after leaving. He wanted to have a good talk with his brother.
Strictly speaking, Zhou Qi is not his real brother, but after getting along with him for more than two years, Zhou Qi has always taken care and love for him. He seems to have regarded Zhou Qi as his real brother.
Liu Bei hesitated: "Well... why don't I stay here for the night and go to Xiaopei with you tomorrow?" He felt uneasy if Zhou Wen'an didn't go with him!
Zhou Ping guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile: "My lord, Zhou Ping is also a man of his word. Once he has promised his lord, he will not break his promise. Parting is coming soon. Ping wants to have a good farewell with his brother today. If my lord is here, I'm afraid we will
It would be a poor reception.”
Liu Bei thought the same thing. Zhou Ping was about to go to Xuzhou with him. Their brothers would definitely have a lot to say. If he were there, they would not be able to say goodbye to each other in order to entertain him.
"Haha, sir, you are true to your words. How can I not believe it? In this case, I will go back to Xiaopei today, and I will wait for you outside the city tomorrow!" After Liu Bei finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Zhou Ping, turned around and was about to go out.
"Lord, the person holding the halberd outside the door is..."
Zhou Ping thought of the man holding a halberd he saw outside the door just now, and guessed that this man should be Chen Dao, but he was not sure.
Speaking of Chen Dao, Liu Bei's face became even more joyful: "This is a righteous man from Runan. His name is Chen Dao, and his courtesy name is Shu Zhi. He is very powerful, not weaker than Yide. He fights with Yide."
One hundred and fifty rounds without any sign of defeat, hahaha..."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he stroked his short beard and laughed. It was obvious that he was really happy.
Sure enough, it’s Chen Dao!
Chen is just a little-known person until now, and he is far away in Runan. He knew that Tian Yu was outrageous before. At that time, it was to keep Tian Yu in his life, and he had to tell him when something urgent happened.
Now if I knew Chen Dao again, I would be too awesome. Being too awesome is bad and unreal.
There are too few historical records about Chen Dao, and Zhou Ping did not know what his military power was.
If he really fought Zhang Fei for 150 rounds without showing any sign of defeat, then his strength can be imagined. It seems that he should be about the same as Zhao Yun, otherwise Yang Xi would not compare him with Zhao Yun.
"I just saw that he is very powerful. He will definitely be a tiger general in the future. My lord is very happy to have such a general!" Zhou Ping said with a heartfelt smile.
Liu Bei took Zhou Ping's hand again, and the two of them laughed hand in hand.
Outside the hall, Zhang Fei was holding a jar of wine and drinking. Guan Yu was still Guan Gong, half-squinting his eyes, not listening or looking.
Zhang Wu had seen Zhang Fei's drinking capacity, so he didn't find it strange, but the way he looked at Zhang Fei seemed to say, don't finish our young master's wine.
Chen Dao followed Liu Bei. Although he knew that Zhang Fei liked to drink, he had never seen him drink like this. At this time, he was watching with wide eyes in surprise.
"Yide, why did you drink again?"
When Liu Bei went out and saw Zhang Fei drinking, he couldn't help but frown and asked.
"Hey, brother, I just drank half of the jar."
Zhang Fei hugged the wine jar and laughed.
"Stop drinking, let's go back."
Liu Bei said and walked out, but still held Zhou Ping in his hand.
"Then my wine..."
Seeing the situation, Zhang Fei wanted to put down the wine jar, but he was reluctant to do so. After hesitating for a moment, he finally put the wine jar down and picked up the zhangba snake spear to follow.
Zhang Wu also followed closely behind Zhou Ping.
Only when they reached the gate of the village did Liu Bei let go of Zhou Ping's hand and said with a smile, "I will greet you sir outside Xiaopei City tomorrow, and I will hold a banquet in the mansion to welcome you."
"My lord, go slowly." Zhou Ping cupped his hands to send him off.
Liu Bei rode slowly, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the left and Chen Dao behind, and left Zhoujiazhuang.
"Brother, just now, Zhou Wen'an called you my lord?" Zhang Fei remembered what Zhou Ping had just said.
"Not bad." Liu Bei was still immersed in joy until now.
"Hehe, from now on I will also call my eldest brother my lord." Zhang Fei said with a smile.
Liu Bei turned to look at Zhang Fei with joy: "Since we have become brothers, you and Yunchang can just call me eldest brother, and others can call me lord."
In fact, Liu Bei enjoys the title of lord. Anyone who is willing to call himself lord shows that he is willing to follow him and has no intention of betrayal.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately turned around and said to Chen Dao who was following him: "Uncle Zhi, you will call me your eldest brother from now on."
Ever since he failed to win the last battle with Chen Dao, Zhang Fei has always been dissatisfied, but Liu Bei did not allow him to fight Chen Dao again.
He went to find Chen Dao, but Chen Dao refused to compete with him anymore, which made him feel unbearable.
Although Zhang Fei had never competed with Guan Yu, he obeyed Guan Yu and believed that Guan Yu's force was superior to his own. In the camp, many people compared him with Guan Yu, believing that the two had equal force.
Chen Dao, a newcomer like him, could fight with him for 150 rounds without losing. How willing was he to be compared with him?
Now he finally has the opportunity to differentiate himself from Chen Dao.
Chen Dao didn't seem to take it seriously and responded: "No."
Liu Bei turned around and smiled, then clapped his horse hard and galloped forward. Guan Yu and the other three clapped their horses and followed closely.
When Zhou Ping returned to the courtyard, his brother appeared again at the right time.
"How about it? Are you going to go with the envoy this time?"
Zhou Qi seems to have guessed Liu Bei's intention this time.
"Yeah." Zhou Ping nodded, "Brother, how about we brothers get drunk today?"
"Okay, hahaha..."
Although Zhou Qi laughed, there was a lot of reluctance in his laughter.
"Do we still have plenty of wine?" Zhou Ping asked.
"There are not many left. There are less than ten altars left. You can take them all away tomorrow!"
"No, no matter how much I bring, it won't be enough for Zhang Fei to drink. I'll just bring two jars."
"Hahaha...that Zhang Yide is really drunk."
"I drank too much."
"With your little gourd, you can drink for half a day without giving up a sip. Although you drink often, you don't drink much, and you rarely get drunk. You just want to pretend to be a slut." The elder brother pointed at Zhou Ping's waist.
The hanging wine gourd said.
"I'm being free and easy." Zhou Ping refused to accept it.
"Haha, if you have a free and easy heart, you will walk free and easy. If you don't have a free and easy heart, no matter how much you drink, it will be in vain."
"Why do you suddenly understand so many things?"
"I've always understood it!"
"Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"
"Have you ever spoken so much to me before?"
"..."
"..."
The two brothers started fighting before they could drink, attracting Chen Rong and Gan Qian as well.
There were also servants in the house who came to laugh and look at the two of them, listening to the two of them arguing pointlessly.
