Chapter 451: The Nearly Berserk Zhang Fei (2nd update!)

Unless Cao Cao could harden his heart and manufacture an accident to prevent these two children from being born or growing up successfully.

Only then would it not be exposed.

But could Cao Cao do it?

Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs!

Xun Yu understood Cao Cao quite well.

He appeared ruthless in many matters and aspects, and his bottom line was quite low.

But he was still very good to his own children.

It was hard to imagine him being able to commit the act of killing his own children.

"Forget it! Why am I thinking so much? These are things that will happen years in the future!"

"By then, it's not even certain if I will still be around! Thinking too much is meaningless!"

Xun Yu thought to himself with self-mockery.

After all, there was still Su Xuan, a great enemy, in the future!

Guan Yu did not know these thoughts in Xun Yu’s heart. If he had known, who knows if he would have swung his Cold Beauty blade and cut Xun Yu down as a gesture of respect.

Hearing Xun Yu’s words, he merely bowed to Xun Yu in gratitude: "Many thanks, Mr. Xun! I shall take my leave then!"

Immediately, Guan Yu mounted his horse, rode out of the city gate, and hurried toward Guandu.

At the same time, in the Zhang family peach garden in Zhuojun City,

A secret agent handed Zhang Fei a piece of intelligence and said: "General Zhang! My lord has an urgent piece of intelligence regarding your eldest brother that I must present! Please take a look, General!"

"Farewell!"

Having said this, the secret agent prepared to leave immediately.

"No! Wait a moment!"

Zhang Fei, bewildered, raised a hand to stop the person and asked suspiciously: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"You said there is news about my eldest brother? What exactly is this news?"

He always felt that this person was in such a hurry to leave as if he were hiding from him.

This was very abnormal.

The secret agent looked at Zhang Fei with a faint smile: "As for what the news is, the intelligence I gave you has detailed records, and there is even some news about your second brother, Guan Yu!"

"General, you will understand everything after reading it yourself!"

"I won't stay any longer!"

As he spoke, the secret agent flickered and easily avoided Zhang Fei’s obstruction, then vanished from the Zhang family estate in two blinks before Zhang Fei could stop him again.

"You... this... why run so fast? It makes it look like I would do you harm!"

"At least tell me who is behind you!"

While Zhang Fei was astonished, he felt even more depressed and confused.

At the same time, he had a vague, bad premonition.

With doubt and trepidation, he opened the intelligence and quickly browsed through it.

The more he read, the darker and redder his face became.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! My eldest brother is peerless in the world; how could he just die like this? I don't believe it!"

"Bastard! Where did you go? Come out! Come out!"

"Tell me! This is all not true! It's fake, right?"

"Don't stay silent, I know you definitely haven't gone far! Come out!"

"Come out!!!!"

"I'm begging you, isn't that enough? Just come out and tell me this isn't true, right?"

Zhang Fei roared in the courtyard for half an hour until his voice grew hoarse before he finally stopped.

During this time, the servants and the Zhang family members outside the courtyard dared not approach, fearing they would anger Zhang Fei.

"No! I must go to the Guandu front line; I must see with my own eyes if my eldest brother has truly met with disaster!"

"If so, then I will personally hack that Guo Tu and Lord Yuan Shao to pieces to avenge my eldest brother!"

Zhang Fei, with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious expression, prepared to take action.

"Swish!"

The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall.

Zhang Fei looked up, and wasn't it the same secret agent from before?

He had actually returned.

"It's you?"

Zhang Fei was startled, then hurriedly rushed forward, jumped onto the wall in one stride, and reached for the secret agent.

However, the secret agent dodged Zhang Fei’s hand with a flicker and appeared in the center of the courtyard, then looked at the pursuing Zhang Fei and said: "General Zhang, please stop! Otherwise, I will truly leave!"

"You..."

Zhang Fei’s movements stalled. Despite his reluctance, he had to stop. He widened his eyes and looked at the secret agent: "Is what this intelligence says true? Was my eldest brother really harmed by Lord Yuan Shao? Is he really dead?"

"Correct!"

The secret agent nodded firmly: "I would not tell such a lie that could be easily exposed;"

"Moreover, if it were a lie, it would undoubtedly offend you, General Zhang, which would bring me no benefit at all!"

"If you don't believe it, General, you can go to the Guandu front line to verify it yourself;"

"Or, you can wait here for a few days. I believe Guo Tu will soon bring men to your home to assassinate you, General!"

"After all, you are the sworn brother of Liu Liu Xuande, and given your sense of loyalty and your feelings for him, it is impossible for you to sit idly by and not seek revenge!"

"Guo Tu and Lord Yuan Shao are clearly aware of this, and given your strength that can match ten thousand men, they clearly want you removed as soon as possible!"

"The reason I appeared again is to warn you of this, General!"

"For the sake of your family, you had best arrange for them to leave here quietly as soon as possible and hide under assumed names!"

"Of course, if you trust me, General, you can choose to hand your family over to me. I will arrange for people to escort them away from here to a safe place;"

"Once the storm has passed, or when you have a place to settle them, contact me, and I will return your family to you!"

"Furthermore, you also need to be careful of Lord Yuan Shao and Guo Tu’s strangulation;"

"While you possess the strength to fight ten thousand, you must also guard against the enemy's underhanded methods..."

These were actually things Su Xuan had ordered them to do.

The goal was to first show favor to Zhang Fei, making it easier to recruit and subdue him in the future.

After all, for such a stubborn bull, if there were no kindness or righteousness involved, it wouldn't be easy to subdue him even if he were captured later.

"Is that so?"

Zhang Fei frowned, his eyes flashing with cold light: "I didn't expect those two dog thieves, Lord Yuan Shao and Guo Tu, to be targeting me and my family as well, not intending to let us go?"

"Heh! Very well! Very well indeed!"

Zhang Fei’s face was ferocious as he snarled: "Just as well, I didn't intend to let you go either!"

He decided that he would personally execute Lord Yuan Shao and Guo Tu, and along the way, slaughter their entire clans.

Only then could he console his eldest brother’s spirit in heaven.
