Chapter 724: The Real and Fake Guo Tu, and the Disbelieving Zhang Fei (1st update!)

In truth, Zhang Fei had already basically believed that his eldest brother had truly met with disaster.

Although he was deeply grieved, he knew now was not the time for sorrow.

Once he killed Yuan Shao and Guo Tu, retrieved his brother's remains, and buried him, he would mourn slowly before his brother's grave.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei looked at the secret guard: "I don't know whose men you are, but you are indeed capable. Once I verify the truth of the news, I can entrust my family to your protection first!"

"If everything is true, I owe you two massive favors, and in the future, I will surely repay them with all my might!"

"This is my, Zhang Fei's, promise!"

"Very well!"

The secret guard nodded with a faint smile, indicating he had no objections.

"Phew! Then many thanks!"

Zhang Fei felt a sense of relief.

At the same time, he was even more certain that the secret guard was a decent person and not a fraud.

Of course, the necessary verification still had to be done.

Afterward, Zhang Fei sent out men to scout.

Two days later, although he had not found news of Liu Bei, he did discover that Guo Tu was leading several thousand armored soldiers toward Zhuo Commandery.

Their target was the Zhang family.

Zhang Fei could no longer sit still; he took the initiative to strike, intercepting Guo Tu and his several thousand soldiers on the road.

"Zh... Zhang Fei? Why are you here?"

"Guo Tu," seeing Zhang Fei standing in the middle of the road on horseback from afar, felt his pupils shrink and couldn't help but exclaim.

"You are Guo Tu?"

Zhang Fei, hearing this, looked at Guo Tu with a flash of cold light in his eyes and demanded: "I heard you killed my eldest brother? Is this true? Are you here to kill me?"

"Ah?"

The "Guo Tu" on the other side was stunned, looking suspicious and uncertain: "How do you know this news? Impossible! My Lord... cough, cough! I clearly rushed here at the fastest speed possible; logically, you shouldn't know yet!"

"Is someone helping you?"

Thinking of this, "Guo Tu" frowned slightly.

He had a vague feeling that his master had been schemed against.

"Answer my question!"

Zhang Fei roared again.

The sound was deafening, leaving "Guo Tu" feeling dizzy.

"Kill him! He is our target this time! Kill him!"

"Guo Tu" came to his senses and, not daring to say more, directly issued the order to attack.

The next moment, the several thousand armored soldiers spurred their horses to surround and kill Zhang Fei.

"Die for me!!"

Zhang Fei sneered, directly forming a military formation with the 800 personal guards he had brought, and counter-attacked.

With his strength and the support of the military formation, a large swath of these thousands of soldiers was slaughtered in a single clash.

In just a few minutes, hundreds had already been killed or wounded.

Zhang Fei led his guards like a hot knife through butter, entering the enemy ranks as if there were no one there; not a single soldier of Yuan Shao's army was a match for him.

Faced with the one-sided slaughter, the soldiers' morale quickly collapsed, and they began to flee in all directions.

When "Guo Tu" realized Zhang Fei was far more terrifying than he had imagined, he turned his horse around and began to flee.

But he was soon caught up by Zhang Fei's troops.

Zhang Fei reached out and plucked "Guo Tu" right off his horse.

The reason he did not use a weapon was that he feared he might kill the man instantly, leaving him unable to ask questions.

After capturing "Guo Tu," Zhang Fei stopped his troops and looked coldly at the "Guo Tu" in his hand: "Speak! Was my eldest brother killed by you? Tell the truth, and I might give you a quick death; otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead. Believe me, I can do it!"

"Don't! Hero, spare my life!"

"Guo Tu" cried out in terror: "I'll speak! I'll speak!"

"However, before I say that, I must clarify that I am not actually Guo Tu. Guo Tu is my master! I am his double and servant, Guo Wu! I am the one who handles his dirty work!"

"If I tell you about Lord Xuande, can you spare me?"

He truly did not want to die!

At this moment, Guo Wu hated Guo Tu to the core.

It was all his fault; why provoke a peerless powerhouse like Zhang Fei?

The key was, if you were going to provoke him, why send me to surround and kill him?

Could a mere few thousand soldiers surround and kill such a person?

This was simply sending him to his death!

No wonder Guo Tu did not come himself this time.

He must have known there would be no good outcome, which is why he did this.

"Speak!!"

Although Zhang Fei was surprised that this person was not the real Guo Tu, he had no desire to hear these digressions. He roared coldly, his eyes looking at Guo Wu as if he were looking at a dead man.

At the same time, Guo Wu felt from Zhang Fei's gaze that if he dared to babble another word, Zhang Fei would take his life the next moment. ===== CHAPTER 726 =====
