Chapter 1772: Fighting Together

"Hmph, for the sake of you few, I won't bother with him." Gu Yi snorted lightly, his expression carrying a hint of arrogance, but a flash of cunning crossed his eyes. He knew that behind these so-called apologies were more of these people's shrewd calculations and fear of power.

Tian Feng and the others nodded and bowed, looking terrified. "Lord National Teacher is magnanimous; we admire you."

Yuan Shao's face turned blue and white upon seeing this, but hindered by Gu Yi's status and strength, he could only squeeze out a smile and said: "Lord National Teacher is magnanimous; I, Yuan, am ashamed of my inferiority."

Gu Yi ignored Yuan Shao's insincerity and turned to look at Liu Bei and the others, his eyes revealing a hint of appreciation. "You few, today you have become sworn brothers, deeply affectionate and righteous. I, Gu Yi, am also quite moved. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei felt a warmth in his heart and quickly bowed. "Thank you, Lord National Teacher, for your love; we will certainly not fail your expectations."

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and the others also bowed one after another to express their gratitude. They knew that with Gu Yi's support, their survival rate in these chaotic times would undoubtedly increase greatly.

At this time, Xu Shu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Lord National Teacher, although we have become brothers, we still need to accomplish something in these chaotic times. I wonder if Lord National Teacher has any good strategies to help us?"

Gu Yi smiled slightly, a flash of wisdom in his eyes. "Good strategies naturally exist, but before that, you need to understand your own strengths and weaknesses. I observe you few; although each has its own merits, you have not yet formed a synergy. If you want to stand firm in these chaotic times, you must be united and advance and retreat together."

Liu Bei and the others nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this. They knew that Gu Yi's words were not false; they indeed needed to be more closely united to cope with future challenges.

"In addition, I need to remind you of one point." Gu Yi changed the subject, his expression becoming serious. "In these chaotic times, people's hearts are unpredictable. You must always remain vigilant and do not easily believe others' words. Especially those who seem honest and kind but are actually harboring evil intentions."

Liu Bei and the others felt a shock in their hearts upon hearing this. They knew that Gu Yi was reminding them to be careful of people like Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao was polite to them on the surface, who knew what tricks he might be playing behind their backs?

"Thank you, Lord National Teacher, for the reminder." Liu Bei and the others replied in unison.

Seeing this, Gu Yi nodded with satisfaction. "Alright, today's matter is finished. You go back and prepare; tomorrow I will have tasks for you."

Liu Bei and the others were energized upon hearing this. They knew that the tasks Gu Yi gave them would certainly be beneficial to them. So, they said goodbye one after another, preparing to welcome the upcoming challenges.

Watching the backs of Liu Bei and the others leaving, a flash of anticipation crossed Gu Yi's eyes. He knew that although these young people were young, they all had extraordinary potential and talent. As long as they could be united and advance and retreat together, they would surely be able to make a name for themselves in these chaotic times in the future.

Yuan Shao stood in place, looking at the backs of Liu Bei and the others with gloomy eyes. He secretly swore in his heart that he must let Liu Bei and the others know his power. At the same time, he also felt deep dread toward Gu Yi. He knew that this seemingly young National Teacher was actually a master who did not reveal his true colors. He must deal with him carefully, otherwise, he might fall into his hands if he was not careful.

Night fell, and the stars were dotted. After Liu Bei and the others returned to the camp, they began to discuss the plan for tomorrow. They knew that the task Gu Yi gave them would not be simple, but they were also full of confidence and anticipation. They believed that as long as they were united and advanced and retreated together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and complete the task Gu Yi gave them.

Gu Yi sat alone in the tent, closing his eyes to rest. His heart was thinking about more far-reaching plans. He knew that in these chaotic times, only the strong could survive. He must constantly improve his strength to stand firm in these chaotic times. At the same time, he must find more allies and helpers to fight against those powerful enemies together.

"Second brother, what kind of task do you think Lord National Teacher will arrange for us?" Zhang Fei scratched his head, looking at Liu Bei and Guan Yu with a puzzled face. His roughness carried a hint of childishness, making the originally tense atmosphere slightly subtly relaxed. ===== CHAPTER 1773 =====
