Gu Yi walked into the city and then headed straight into the city.

The guards at the city gate saw Gu Yi like this and hurriedly greeted him.

"General Gu, why have you returned? Has Cao Cao pursued you?" The city gate guard asked.

"No need to worry, I have already left smoothly." Gu Yi smiled slightly.

"That's great, General, you have finally returned safely. We were all sweating for you." The city gate guard said gratefully.

"No need to be polite." Gu Yi waved his hand and then changed the subject, "This time I have come to find your lord; you take me to see your lord."

"General, our lord does not like to see strangers; you had better come back another day." The city gate guard said with a bitter smile.

"I have a very important matter to report to the lord, it cannot be delayed!" Gu Yi said.

"However, the lord has ordered that he will not see anyone!" The city gate guard said in a dilemma.

"Then have him come to see me in person." Gu Yi said indifferently.

"General, you had better come back another day." The city gate guard said in a dilemma.

"I will say it one last time, have your lord come to see me in person." Gu Yi said with a cold face.

"General, if you make things difficult for us like this, I am afraid..." The city gate guard said in distress.

Gu Yi saw this, snorted coldly, and said, "Are you trying to disobey the lord's order?"

"Dare not, this subordinate dare not!" The city gate guard was so scared he knelt on the ground.

Gu Yi saw this and was too lazy to talk nonsense with the city gate guard anymore; he directly flipped onto his horse and then left Xuzhou.

After Gu Yi left, the city gate guard slowly stood up.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered, "Fortunately I was witty and stopped General Gu in time; otherwise, the lord would definitely punish me. However, why doesn't the lord like to see General Gu?"

"Forget it, anyway the two of them are mortal enemies and will fight sooner or later; let us return to report first." The city gate guard said to himself.

"Right, the General said he had a very important matter to find the lord, so the lord will definitely come to see him in person, so I don't need to worry."

"Still go back to rest, today is indeed a bit tired." The city gate guard said to himself.

Gu Yi rode on the horse, continuously whipping the horse and galloping rapidly toward Xuzhou City.

"Giddyup!"

Gu Yi whipped the warhorse hard, making it run forward with all its might.

Soon, Gu Yi arrived at the Xuzhou city gate; Gu Yi reined in the horse, jumped off the warhorse, and headed straight into Xuzhou City.

The scale of Xuzhou City was very large, and the buildings inside were also quite prosperous.

There were many patrolling officials at the city gate; seeing Gu Yi rush over, they drew their blades one after another, preparing to obstruct Gu Yi's advance.

"Stop!" Gu Yi roared.

"You all move aside for me!"

Gu Yi shouted.

"What kind of thing are you? Actually daring to order us, come here! Capture this little thief who offended us!" The city gate guard roared angrily.

His voice was very loud, and the surrounding officials also drew their swords one after another, preparing to attack Gu Yi.

Gu Yi saw this, his expression changed; he had not expected that the Xuzhou guards would be so lawless.

Gu Yi snorted coldly, immediately took out the long sword from his waist, and shouted loudly, "I am Gu Yi, here to see Liu Bei!"

Gu Yi's voice was very loud; soon, all the officials in Xuzhou City knew Gu Yi's identity, and they were all dumbfounded.

They had not expected that Gu Zifang would actually come to Xuzhou City in person.

And what shocked them even more was that Gu Zifang was actually ordered to come and pay a visit to the lord, Liu Bei.

They could not help but think, could this Gu Zifang be Liu Bei's man?

Thinking of this, they retreated one after another, leaving enough space for Gu Yi.

Seeing Gu Yi successfully squeeze into the city gate, the guards at the gate breathed a sigh of relief; they were glad they hadn't impulsively gone up to capture Gu Yi; otherwise, it would have been a capital crime.

At the city gate, Gu Yi rode his black horse and entered Xuzhou City rapidly.

After entering Xuzhou City, Gu Yi rode his horse directly toward the north, heading toward Liu Bei's mansion.

Liu Bei's mansion was not very far from the city gate, and it only took a few minutes to arrive.

Gu Yi sped on the street without any hesitation, heading straight toward Liu Bei's mansion.

Gu Yi's mood was anxious and uneasy; he could not guarantee whether Cao Cao would accept him.

"Whew!"

Gu Yi stopped his footsteps; he took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then raised his head, walking in with his chest held high.

Entering Liu Bei's mansion, Gu Yi discovered that there was no one inside.

"Strange, where are the people? Could it be that they are not in the mansion?" Gu Yi thought suspiciously.

Subsequently, Gu Yi observed all around.

At this time, Gu Yi heard footsteps.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and were accompanied by talking.

"My lord, are you still angry? This won't do, my lord, you must pull yourself together; these years, our Xuzhou has suffered no less bullying from Yuan Shao."

"If you don't pull yourself together again, then the people of our Xuzhou will suffer."

Gu Yi listened, and a burst of anger suddenly surged in his heart.

"My lord, you must not forget, the world today is still your world, you should pull yourself together."

"You should lead the army, kill your way into Yuan Shu's lair, and seize Yuan Shu's empire!"

"You are a famous general of the present age, how can you lose your direction because of a few women?"

"They are just vases, not worth your effort, my lord."

"You are a hero of the present age; if you are blinded by those mediocre women, wouldn't that be shameful?"

"In this world, the women who can match you, apart from my lady, I am afraid there is only Yuan Shu's daughter."

"My lord, you must pull yourself together, and must not be confused by them."

Gu Yi listened, his fists clenched tightly, his teeth gnashing with a creaking sound.

At this time, he felt as if raging flames were burning in his chest.

Over these years, he had never encountered such a situation; he thought he would not care about anyone's opinion, and would not easily get angry for a woman.
