Chapter 115
After the divine weapons were collected, Liu Bei bowed slightly to the master blacksmith Pu Yuan to thank him for his kindness in forging the weapons.
Then he turned his gaze to Su Li.
Not just Liu Bei.
When all this was completed, the gazes of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also shifted to Su Li.
This time it was very clear that if Su Li hadn't appeared with his troops to assist them.
One could imagine what the consequences would have been.
Under the whirlpool of the million-strong enemy army, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, without the help of divine weapons, had already fallen into despair.
They thought the oath the three brothers had just made—not to be born on the same day, but to die on the same day—was about to be fulfilled on the spot.
But at this moment, Su Li led his troops to kill out from the enemy army, like a divine soldier descending from heaven, breaking through the enemy formation and defeating the enemy general.
Not to mention this bravery, just the life-saving grace of defeating the enemy general and causing the enemy to flee in a full-scale rout, thereby saving them from fire and water, was enough for Liu, Guan, and Zhang to look at him with admiration and treat him with deep affection.
Therefore.
When the gazes of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei fell on Su Li, they were 'deeply affectionate'.
And Su Li?
Alexander!
Originally, his plan was to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, trying to reap the benefits, and whether Liu, Guan, and Zhang died or not had nothing to do with him.
He hadn't even thought about having any relationship with Liu, Guan, and Zhang before.
And now.
A hidden task suddenly triggered by the system forced Su Li to save the three.
Now it also made him the focus of Liu, Guan, and Zhang’s attention.
Being stared at intently by two peerless generals who were the ceiling of this world and one future emperor of Shu Han, even knowing that he was their life-saving benefactor, Su Li was a bit nervous.
The atmosphere was slightly 'awkward'.
After a moment of silence.
Liu Bei stepped forward and bowed heavily to Su Li: "I am Liu Bei, courtesy name Liu Liu Xuande, thank you for your life-saving grace; if it weren't for your timely intervention, my two younger brothers and I would likely have perished here today!"
Liu Bei expressed his stance, and Guan Yu also slightly cupped his hands: "I am Guan Yunchang, thank you for your life-saving grace; I will never forget it!"
Although it was just a slight sentence, from Guan Yu’s expression, it could be seen that he had already remembered this favor in his heart and would definitely repay it if there was a chance.
Zhang Fei didn't have so many formalities.
After Liu Bei and Guan Yu finished speaking, Zhang Fei walked up to Su Li carelessly and said with a smile: "I won't say polite words like life-saving grace, Zhang Zhang Zhang Yide; brother, you look like a person of righteousness."
"How about you swear an oath with us three brothers, and in the future, you will be the fourth brother, and Third Brother will cover you?!!"
Su Li: ...???
Little question marks popped up on Su Li’s little head, followed by a moment of speechlessness.
Swearing an oath was one thing, but he actually wanted him to be the fourth brother?
If he changed his mind now and chose to join the Yellow Turban camp, letting the Yellow Turbans continue to surround and kill them, would it be too late?
This Zhang Fei was really too damn annoying.
Saved your lives, and you still want me to be the younger brother?
Being the big brother would be more like it!
"Third Brother, don't be rude!"
At this time, Liu Bei also realized something was wrong and suddenly stood out, scolding Zhang Fei with a serious expression, "How can you be so rude to the hero."
Zhang Fei still respected his big brother Liu Bei, so he immediately shrugged his head and stepped aside.
Liu Bei’s expression softened this time, and he bowed slightly to Su Li again: "Hero, don't take offense; my third brother is a bit reckless."
"It’s fine! Brother Zhang Zhang Yide is also a straightforward person."
There was no help for it; one doesn't hit a smiling face. Since Liu Bei had said so, Su Li could only wave his hand and say with a smile.
But the next second.
He couldn't smile anymore.
He heard Liu Bei’s expression suddenly become enthusiastic: "Actually, my third brother was right about one thing just now; we will never forget your life-saving grace, Hero Su. If we hadn't sworn our oath so early, I would have wanted to become brothers with you, and from then on, share joys and sorrows together!"
"Together, save the people, eliminate evil, and restore the country!"
When Liu Bei said this, Su Li was completely stunned.
You could say that Zhang Fei saying this was one thing; there were definitely no crooked thoughts in that simple head.
But for you, Liu Bei, to say this, the problem was huge.
This was clearly trying to pull him into the group!
Once sworn, who would be the big brother? You, Liu Bei, are the oldest and occupy the moral high ground.
If he were to be an enemy of you, Liu Bei, in the future, wouldn't it be said that he was killing his own brothers, murdering his elder brother, and ending up with a reputation of being unbenevolent and unrighteous.
And what "together save the people, eliminate evil, and restore the country."
That’s even more nonsense; what are you dreaming about.
In the end, didn't you declare yourself emperor?
Seeming not to notice Su Li’s mood, Liu Bei stepped forward and wanted to hold Su Li’s hand, "Come, Hero Su, we still have some thin wine here; how about we drink together?"
When Liu Bei came to hold his hand, Su Li couldn't help but avoid it, dodging Liu Bei.
And Liu Bei?
The enthusiasm on his face didn't change at all, nor did he feel any dissatisfaction because of Su Li’s actions, but instead asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to prepare the drinking items.
The four drank a few cups together.
Only then did Liu Bei’s expression become solemn.
"May I ask what Brother Su’s ambitions are for the future?"
Alright!
This was clearly going to be a thing.
Su Li raised an eyebrow and said lightly: "I am just an alien lord; coming to this world, I don't have any grand ambitions. Being able to occupy a corner and protect my life is enough."
For the indigenous people of this world like Liu Bei, players are aliens, people from another world.
But they subconsciously accepted this setting and didn't treat aliens differently.
So after hearing Su Li say this, Liu Bei’s expression didn't change at all, but instead, he tidied his clothes.
Then he suddenly gave Su Li a grand bow: "I am a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan and a member of the Han royal family. Now the Yellow Turbans are rising everywhere, and the world is in chaos. I want to gather a group of ambitious people to bring peace to the world."
"I see that Hero Su is a person of extraordinary talent, and the troops under your command are rare elites in the world."
"If you can follow us to eliminate the Yellow Turbans and serve the imperial court, you might not be unable to be enfeoffed as a marquis and prime minister, and leave your name in history!"
