Chapter 14: Zhang Fei: Big Brother

Liu Bei drank Brother Gongsun Zan and Zou Jing under the table and walked out of the hall, swaying.

From afar, he saw Zhao Zhao Zilong leading a horse, waiting quietly.

Liu Bei hurried over, his shoe even falling off.

He gripped Zhao Yun’s hand tightly.

"Zhao Zilong, I’ve kept you waiting."

Zhao Yun was very moved; Brother Gongsun Zan didn't value him,

but he didn't expect Liu Bei to value him so much!

He even lost his shoe!

Zhao Yun hurriedly picked up Liu Bei’s shoe.

"My Lord, it is only right for your subordinate to wait for you."

Liu Bei gripped Zhao Yun’s hand tightly.

"Brother Brother Bogui wanted to give me a team of White Horse Volunteers, but he didn't know that Zhao Zilong is worth all the White Horse Volunteers combined!"

Zhao Yun was completely moved and shed two lines of hot tears. A scholar dies for one who understands him—he finally had a profound understanding of this saying.

"My Lord, I will go through fire and water for you, never to decline!"

Liu Bei sighed lightly. He had just spoken the truth; Zhao Yun was indeed much more useful than the White Horse Volunteers.

He didn't expect to move Zhao Yun to this extent; he really didn't know what to say.

He patted Zhao Yun’s shoulder.

"Good, tonight we shall talk by candlelight and have a good chat!"

The two walked toward the camp hand in hand.

The livestream exploded.

"The ancients are really easy to swindle."

"The Big-Eared Thief’s shoe is really obedient; it falls off exactly when it needs to!"

"The Big-Eared Thief is definitely a master at picking up girls. With one round of swindling, Little Brother Zhao is already limping!"

"It looks like Zhao Yun’s virginity won't be kept tonight!"

"I’m worried about our Rogers; what if he gets targeted by Liu Bei!" (An American netizen intruding).

"Get lost, Rogers is almost a hundred years old; Liu Bei isn't that unpicky!"

"Can the system not censor Liu Bei’s 'hidden rules' for Zhao Zhao Zilong? I want to see it!" (A fujoshi screaming).

Things didn't go as everyone thought. Liu Bei and Zhao Yun talked all night,

from the great affairs of the world to the common people, to his recent plans.

Zhao Yun was completely won over by Liu Bei and secretly swore in his heart to help his Lord with all his might!

At dawn,

Zhang Fei rushed into the tent and shouted loudly,

"Big Brother, I heard you refused a team of White Horse Volunteers and only asked for a young personal guard?"

"Big Brother, you are confused!"

"Big Brother, this personality of yours of not taking advantage needs to change!"

"Just to avoid taking advantage of Brother Gongsun Zan, you only asked for a personal guard!"

Liu Bei rolled his eyes. This Third Brother was imagining too much!

The livestream burst into laughter.

"Zhang Fei is too deeply poisoned. The Big-Eared Thief doesn't take advantage?"

"Poor Fei Fei, you must have some misunderstanding about 'not taking advantage'."

"Liu Bei will suffer a loss? I don't believe it anyway!"

Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Yun.

"So that personal guard is you? A pale-faced scholar with no hair on your face; you don't look like you can fight at all!"

Zhao Yun cupped his fists.

"Third General, one should not judge by appearances. You are being too arbitrary!"

"Hey, with my eyes as big as copper bells, how could I be wrong!"

Zhang Fei was furious. This personal guard actually dared to question that his eyes were small! That was a personal attack!

"Let's go, let's go outside and spar!"

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Bei.

"My Lord?"

Liu Bei nodded. ===== CHAPTER 29 =====

"Very well, let everyone see your martial arts, so they don't look down on you!"

Zhang Fei was heartbroken.

"Big Brother, you’ve changed; you’ve changed your heart!"

Liu Bei made a move to kick him and chased Zhang Fei out!

A temporary drill ground was quickly surrounded by hundreds of people.

Bai Yuekui and Hua Hua Mulan also rushed over.

"Captain, what’s the situation?"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Brother Gongsun Zan gave me a personal guard last night, and Zhang Fei is shouting to spar with him."

Bai Yuekui curled her lips.

"The version I heard is that Brother Gongsun Zan originally intended to give you hundreds of elite White Horse Volunteers, but you were too embarrassed and only asked for one personal guard!"

"Captain, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but where did your usual cleverness go?"

"Aren't you usually someone who never refuses anything!"

"Our start is too poor; having a hundred White Horse Volunteers wouldn't have been bad!"

Bai Yuekui complained.

Liu Bei waved his hand.

"Alright, maybe this Zhao Yun is a peerless fierce general!"

Hua Hua Mulan was numb.

"Do you think you’re scratching lottery tickets and winning the grand prize every day? Generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are rare; do you think they’re cabbages at the market?"

The two in the field had already mounted their horses.

Zhang Fei held his Serpent Spear.

"Pale-face, I’ll go easy on you later, so I don't break you!"

Zhao Yun cupped his fists.

"Third General, please use your full strength."

Zhang Fei was enraged and roared,

"Good lad, you’ve got guts!"

He kicked his horse’s belly and charged at Zhao Yun!

Zhao Yun’s eyes narrowed, and he also drove his horse to charge at Zhang Fei.

The two drew closer and closer.

"Clang!"

As the horses crossed, sparks flew, and a collision sound that shook the eardrums rang out.

Both Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were shaken to their cores!

Zhang Fei shouted,

"You have some brute strength!"

Zhao Yun replied faintly,

"Third General’s strength is not bad either."

Zhang Fei snorted.

"I’ll test your martial arts now!"

The two fought together again.

Zhang Fei’s strong body was very agile, like a hunting eagle spreading its wings to catch a rabbit.

The Serpent Spear struck at Zhao Yun on the horse from an unbelievable angle!

Hua Hua Mulan sighed.

"Zhang Fei is truly an agile fatty!"

Bai Yuekui nodded.

"Indeed. Someone has really had damn good luck; this Zhao Yun seems pretty good too!"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Isn't it my keen eye for talent?" ===== CHAPTER 30 =====
