I must investigate this thoroughly! Also, perhaps I can ask Yi Jiu; he should know the inside story, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei’s heart was in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he was very reluctant to believe what this person said, he felt a vague sense of unease, fearing that these things were true.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it were true, how could he face his second brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kill him?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He couldn't do it!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But if his second brother really killed his eldest brother, then he would have to kill his second brother to avenge his eldest brother no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, Zhang Fei preferred to believe in his heart that this was not true; even if it were true, there must be some hidden reason he didn't know about.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In short, his second brother could not have harmed his eldest brother, absolutely impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Guan Yu, don't let me down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei thought to himself with complex emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I am really not talking nonsense!

This can be easily verified!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Guo Wu couldn't help but defend himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, he was like a fish about to die of thirst, trying to grasp this only chance of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Whether it's true or not, you are useless! You can go to hell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei said this coldly, then exerted force with his hand, snapping Guo Wu’s neck in his desperate gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then he let go, letting Guo Wu’s corpse fall to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Let's go!

General Zhang, you returned so quickly? How was it? Did you capture and kill Guo Tu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Jiu looked at Zhang Fei with curiosity and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, he was just asking; in fact, he had already seen the previous battle through his spirit beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, because he was worried about being discovered by Zhang Fei, he did not let the spirit beast get close, so he was unaware of the conversation between Zhang Fei and that \"Guo Tu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei shook his head: \"I did kill quite a few people, and I killed the leader, but that person was not the real Guo Tu, just a double!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Also, I want to ask you, that person said my eldest brother was killed by my second brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is it true that my second brother Guan Yu defected to Cao Cao and helped Cao Cao kill Lord Yuan Shao’s great generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Partially true, partially false!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Jiu nodded and shook his head: \"Your second brother is indeed serving Cao Cao for the time being, but that is because Cao Cao earlier captured your eldest brother Liu Liu Xuande’s two concubines, and those two concubines were already pregnant, suspected to be your eldest brother’s children;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Cao Cao used this as a threat, forcing your second brother Guan Yu to temporarily reside under his command and serve him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei was stunned; clearly, he had not expected this to be the reason at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Two concubines? Are they them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei quickly remembered who these two concubines were.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Weren't they the women Tao Shi and Cao Shi had sent to his eldest brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But my eldest brother told us back then that he had never touched those two women! Did my eldest brother lie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei began to doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But his eldest brother did indeed sleep with him and his second brother every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Almost without exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But such things were hard to say; he couldn't follow his eldest brother every moment, and there was no rule that such things had to happen at night, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Eldest brother, why did you have to lie to me and the second brother? If you had told the truth, how could we have abandoned the two sisters-in-law back then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei complained in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He felt his eldest brother was too deceitful.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, he vaguely felt that this must be the real reason his second brother was temporarily serving the Cao thief.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In that case, was my eldest brother really implicated by my second brother and killed by Lord Yuan Shao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei asked Yi Jiu with a bitter expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Blame Guan Yu?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why did Zhang Fei feel he couldn't blame Guan Yu?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Or should he blame his eldest brother himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei guessed that his second brother probably didn't know at the time that his eldest brother had temporarily defected to Lord Yuan Shao, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Not exactly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, Yi Jiu shook his head: \"As far as I know, when Lord Yuan Shao learned that the person who killed his great generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou was your second brother Guan Yu, he was indeed very angry and called your eldest brother for a confrontation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But in the end, Lord Yuan Shao hoped to use your eldest brother to poach your second brother from Cao Cao, letting your second brother serve him, thereby offsetting the crimes of your eldest and second brothers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It’s just that I don't know what changes occurred, but in the end, Lord Yuan Shao changed his mind and chose to let Guo Tu surround and kill your eldest brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I don't know the specific reasons! You will have to investigate that yourself later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, this was a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a secret agent, how could he not know the real reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wasn't it all Cao Cao’s scheme?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the end, Lord Yuan Shao and Guo Tu were just caught in Cao Cao’s scheme and tricked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Yi Jiu could never tell Zhang Fei this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Otherwise, Zhang Fei would definitely want to kill Cao Cao in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>",1090,"2026-06-16T22:49:48.622Z","2026-06-17T08:57:40.402Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","702cde8123a8503682fc0f9b7961324a21425b7c530593620ceee93099ec2e99","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-454","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-452",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
