Since you made a promise in front of so many people, naturally he won’t deceive himself. Zhang Fei agreed without thinking carefully. In his eyes, as long as he doesn’t die, he’ll eventually be able to return to Liu Bei’s side; after all, he’s just slaughtering pigs for you, and Liu Bei wouldn’t bla him.
Once you made the promise, you quickly borrowed money from the middle-aged uncle leading the caravan and gave each of Zhang Fei’s subordinates twenty taels of silver.
While Zhang Fei and his subordinates were bidding farewell, you pulled Wei Yan aside and whispered a few words to him. Wei Yan nodded solemnly, and he also called two of his subordinates aside to whisper to them, after which the two subordinates quietly left.
"Zhang Heizi!" After Zhang Fei’s subordinates left, you directly called Zhang Fei to your side. Looking at Zhang Fei, who was half a head taller than you, you suddenly smiled.
Zhang Fei felt an eerie chill from your gaze and weakly asked, "Why are you smiling?"
"From now on, I’m your boss. No more ’you you you,’ call boss!"
"Yes, boss!" Zhang Fei replied extrely speechlessly.
You chuckled and called Wei Yan, "Before returning to Xuzhou City, let this Zhang Heizi follow you. We won’t keep idle people here; he’s strong and fit, get him to do the heavy work."
"Alright!"
Wei Yan, being young, still had a bit of childlike deanor and imdiately beckoned Zhang Fei to work.
With this commotion from Zhang Fei, everyone finally gleaned your true identity, and at the sa ti, you left a deep impression on the Mi Family caravan, especially those in the tent guarded by them.
Mi Cheng, the leader of this caravan, and an officer of the Mi Family. After everyone dispersed, he walked up to you with a smile and bowed deeply, "Li Zhuangshi, thank you very much!"
"Don’t ntion it, your caravan is under the protection of the Longn Escort Agency anyway. Not stepping forward was never an option. Besides, I have so grudges with Liu Bei, and anything related to him, I’ll interfere. Heh, the real show is yet to co." Saying this, a hint of malevolent smile appeared on your face.
At this ti, Liu Bei was quite depressed as he encountered Guan Yu while returning to Xuzhou. Seeing the injury on Liu Bei’s arm, Guan Yu’s expression drastically changed, "Lord, who injured you!?"
Liu Bei recounted the entire situation to Guan Yu, and as Guan Yu listened, his deanor grew darker, until his face even seed sowhat distorted, "No! This matter cannot be let go like this!"
Seeing Guan Yu’s expression, Liu Bei clung to him as if grabbing a lifeline.
Actually, speaking frankly, Liu Bei only truly trusted Zhang Fei. Guan Yu was not as simple as he appeared; behind him was a powerful and secretive organization that had never shown itself. The reason this organization sought Liu Bei was by coincidence. Initially, Liu Bei, upon traversing to the Three Kingdoms, was intent on realizing his grand vision. Hence, he spared no effort to find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, dazzling them with bombastic rhetoric seen online.
The outco was, they naturally aided him, and they made a pact in the peach garden. But as ti went on, Liu Bei found Guan Yu increasingly mysterious, until one night Liu Bei overheard Guan Yu conversing with a mysterious individual.
Ultimately, Liu Bei was discovered by the two, but they did not kill him and promised to fully support him. At that mont, Liu Bei thought he was blessed by luck, but little did he expect the organization rarely showed itself, offering assistance only at key monts, leaving Liu Bei to rely on his own efforts and Oscar-worthy acting skills.
"Second brother, do you have a plan?" Liu Bei cautiously asked.
Guan Yu’s face was somber like overcast skies, staring fixedly at Liu Bei with a sinister expression, "Kill!"
Liu Bei was instantly startled and asked, "But our people are too obvious. If the operation fails, we’ll have nowhere to stand in Xuzhou City."
After a slight pause, Guan Yu whistled an eerie tune. Soon, a shadow landed on a branch nearby.
Guan Yu looked at the black-clothed person and said gravely, "Organize a team imdiately to surround and kill the Mi Family caravan. Spare no one but Mi Xiang!"
Liu Bei hastily added, "There’s also soone nad Li Muyun among them; make sure to eliminate him! I’ve heard this guy is invulnerable to blades and spears; I suggest using poison."
The black-clothed individual suddenly glanced at Liu Bei, and in the instant Liu Bei was stared at, his whole body felt a chilling sensation down to his spine, nearly suffocating him.
"Go!" Guan Yu huffed, and the black-clothed individual vanished instantly.
After the black-clothed person left, Liu Bei deliberately turned his face away so Guan Yu wouldn’t see the change in his expression. At this mont, Liu Bei’s face appeared extrely gloomy, and his eyes revealed endless murder intent.
"You all just wait for ! There will co a day... there will co a day!"
Liu Bei shouted frantically within himself.
On the other hand, after wrapping up, your caravan began gradually proceeding towards Xuzhou City.
The morning sky was clear and cloudless, but by noon, light rain started to fall, and the clouds grew thicker with increasing rainfall.
Mi Cheng, being an experienced rchant, did not stop the convoy, instead leading them onward.
You had been walking all along with the caravan, maintaining steady breathing while observing Wei Yan and others’ escort abilities. Of course, recruiting these people wasn’t solely to manage an escort agency, and not only Longn Escort Agency, but even outside forces had likely noticed this.
Longn Escort Agency was rely a facade, accumulating funds while serving as a training and military drill approach.
You always walked at the tail end of the convoy. As the skies began to darken, inexplicably, a sense of danger heightened within you. Given you taphorically carried your life on your waist, you pursued ticulous caution, preferring to take extra asures to prevent unnecessary occurrences.
Suddenly, you lifted your head and yelled toward Wei Yan in the middle of the convoy, "Wei Yan!"
"Present!"
Originally sowhat absent-minded while walking, Wei Yan sprang alert at your shout, quickly responding.
"Pick two people and find a piece of open ground ahead, bring the convoy to a halt."
