Chapter 428

As for why they were separated?

It's shameful to say, but it's because they encountered a large group of extremely terrifying alien wolves in the mountains and forests.

The weakest of these alien wolves had the strength of the Gang Realm, and the strongest were comparable to the Celestial Realm, super terrifying.

The number was no less than 100.

It made Guan Yu and the others have to run for their lives at the time. In the end, in order to lure these wolves away, Guan Yu had to run separately from his big brother and third brother.

That's how they were separated.

Originally, Guan Yu was prepared to heal his wounds and then set off again for Yecheng to meet his big brother and third brother.

But now, he can only temporarily change his plan and rush toward Xiapi City.

He must save the two sisters-in-law before they arrive at Xiapi City.

"This Cao Cao has a very bad reputation when it comes to women. I heard he likes other men's wives. I absolutely cannot let the two sisters-in-law fall into his hands! Otherwise, the reputation of the two sisters-in-law will not be preserved, and big brother's face will also be gone;"

"More importantly, big brother's flesh and blood that hasn't been born yet will probably fall into the hands of the thief."

Thinking this way, Guan Yu had to drag his injured body and rush all the way to Xiapi City.

Along the way, he kept asking about the situation of his two sisters-in-law.

A few days later, he finally found out that his sisters-in-law would arrive at Xiapi City in 2 days.

And he was less than a hundred miles away from his two sisters-in-law at this time.

Guan Yu immediately seized the time to catch up.

At this time, it had been several days since Cao Cao met Liu Bei's two concubines.

Cao Cao also successfully "persuaded" Liu Bei's two concubines according to his plan without any accident.

Let them honestly cooperate according to his plan.

To make the plan flawless, Cao Cao had also been very hard-working these days, toiling all the way.

Finally, 1 day later, he successfully lured Guan Yu, who came to rescue his two sisters-in-law, into a trap and blocked him.

Then, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Lord Yuan to persuade him to surrender.

"Brother Yunchang! You don't want your two sisters-in-law to have an accident, and you don't want your two unborn nephews and nieces to have an accident, right?"

After Xiahou Lord Yuan's persuasion failed, he played his trump card and gave Guan Yu a fatal blow.

"You... I... this..."

Guan Yu was speechless, his face very ugly: "Cao Cao is a prince of a region; could it be that he wants to bully my big brother's wife and children?"

"Eh! Brother Yunchang! That's not how you say it!"

Xiahou Lord Yuan shook his head with a smile: "You and I are still enemies at this time. Treating enemies, no matter what, it's not too much, right?"

"Even if you cut the weeds and remove the roots, that's a matter of course, isn't it?"

"No one wants to leave trouble for themselves, right?"

"It's just that my big brother has taken a fancy to you, values your talent and loyalty, and is willing to compromise;"

"The General has been separated from your two brothers at this time, and you probably can't find them for a while;"

"Why not temporarily agree to my lord's recruitment, temporarily join my lord's command, work for my lord to repay my lord's kindness, and look for the whereabouts of your two brothers at the same time?"

"In this way, you can also protect your two sisters-in-law and the children in their wombs, right?"

"This..."

Guan Yu hesitated, his thoughts clearly shaken.

Indeed, he cannot ignore his two sisters-in-law and the children in their wombs.

In the end, Guan Yu had to compromise: "I can agree to you! But I want to make a three-point agreement with King Han!"

"First, during the time I stay under King Han's command, he must ensure the safety of my two sisters-in-law and the children in their wombs, and must not let them have the slightest mistake;"

"Second, he must do his best to help me find the whereabouts of my big brother and third brother, and must not hide their news from me;"

"Third: Once I get the whereabouts of my two brothers, I want to take my two sisters-in-law and the children in their wombs and leave immediately to meet my big brother and third brother. King Han must not obstruct us in any form;"

"If King Han can agree to these three points, then Guan Yu is willing to listen to King Han's orders temporarily, how about that?"

"Ah, this..."

Xiahou Lord Yuan was stunned, then frowned.

These conditions are a bit harsh!

Isn't this empty-handed white wolf?

What if he finds out the whereabouts of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei all of a sudden, wouldn't Guan Yu just run away?

"I can't make a decision on this matter. I have to ask my lord before I can reply to you, General!"

Xiahou Lord Yuan didn't get angry directly in the end, but cupped his hands.

"Okay! General, go and come back quickly!"

Guan Yu naturally had no objections and knew that his conditions were a bit excessive.

But he had to do this.

Otherwise, he would rather take his two sisters-in-law and the children in their wombs and commit suicide here than temporarily defect to Cao Cao.

"Okay! Then I'll be back soon!"

Xiahou Lord Yuan nodded immediately, turned on his horse and returned to Cao Cao, and told Cao Cao all of Guan Yu's conditions one by one.

Then he said: "My lord! These conditions of Guan Yu are a bit excessive! It's clearly wanting to be an empty-handed white wolf! If possible, it's best not to agree to him."
