The motorcade had been walking for an hour, but Xu Kang finally couldn't bear it any longer and asked Ma Jie, "Brother Ma, what's that person's name?"

Ma Jie glanced at the red-faced man Xu Kang signaled and said: "His surname is Guan Mingyu. He seems to be from Jizhou. He has been fleeing to Youzhou for four or five years. He usually helps others transport goods and does part-time work.

I think he should have no problem living his life."

Xu Kang said: "Brother Ma knows him."

"I don't know. But since he is the person I found, I naturally have to inquire about his personality. And this person seems to be difficult to get along with. I don't see him having any friends."

Although Xu Kang had already heard about the name Guan Yu, he still felt that it was a bit unreliable. Is Wu Sheng, who was known in history as unparalleled in loyalty, righteousness, wisdom and courage, such a cart driver? But his appearance is indeed consistent with what history describes.

Too close.

Xu Kang finally made up his mind and rode up to Guan Yu. He kept looking him up and down. This behavior was very rude, but Guan Yu didn't seem to mind. He just glanced at Xu Kang from his narrow eyes and continued.

Go forward.

"Brother's name is Guan Yu?" Xu Kang followed closely: "What's the name?"

Guan Yu frowned. He had a word, but no one had ever asked him. After all, "words" were only given by people with family backgrounds. No one expected that a cart puller would have a word. But he still answered Xu Kang's question.

When asked, he said: "The word cloud is long."

Xu Kang was able to give nine points of affirmation. Sure enough, this man was the famous general in the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang.

"Hedong people?"

"Hedong Jieliang." Guan Yu was a little surprised.

"Is Guan Yu's real name?"

Guan Yu's narrow eyes showed a hint of danger, and he said: "Guan Yu is Guan Yu, is there any other name?"

Xu Kang frowned. He had read some information about Guan Yu before. It said that Guan Yu had killed someone in his hometown and escaped, so he changed his name to Guan Yu. He was curious and asked about it just now. It seemed a little bit...

Sorry.

However, it was obviously impossible for Xu Kang to back down because of this, and he continued to ask: "Why did you come to Youzhou?"

"Escape." Guan Yu's answer was extremely concise.

"Because of killing?"

The cold light in Guan Yu's eyes reappeared, and he stabbed Xu Kang like two sharp swords, saying: "Young master, we are joking."

Xu Kang was stabbed by his sword-like eyes. He felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse. He couldn't help but be horrified. Is this the strength of a super master? Just one look made him almost fall off his horse.

But after the fear, Xu Kang felt the most excited, saying: "You are so awesome."

Guan Yu's eyes also showed interest and said: "You are so bold."

Xu Kang chuckled and said, "I have dozens of courageous people here, so they are naturally big."

Guan Yu also smiled and said: "But these are meaningless to me."

Xu Kang nodded and said: "I know, you are so powerful, so powerful that all of us together are no match for you."

Guan Yu did not answer. Xu Kang jumped off his horse and climbed onto the carriageway pulled by Guan Yu: "Is it very heavy if I ride in your carriage?"

Guan Yu smiled and said: "Anyway, you're up here. Besides, I don't have any other abilities, I just have a lot of strength."

Xu Kang thought for a long time and didn't know what to say to him. He couldn't explain his situation clearly, and Guan Yu didn't seem like the type to talk to him heart-to-heart, so he took out a copy of "Spring and Autumn" from his pocket.

It is said to be half a book because the book is incomplete. This was discovered accidentally by Xu Kang in Majiazhuang. Books in this era were a means for the gentry to maintain their rule. Those aristocratic families had a strong belief in "Those who work hard will govern people, and those who work hard will govern."

He understands the word "people" very clearly, so he controls all kinds of books. If some students from poor families want to study and make progress, sometimes they have to rely on those wealthy families to borrow books. This is also the case for some students.

One of the reasons why aristocratic families can exist for hundreds or thousands of years.

Therefore, when Xu Kang found this book, he immediately hid it like a treasure. Naturally, he read "Spring and Autumn" not to learn the knowledge in it, but just to recognize the characters. Although Xu Kang graduated from the Chinese Department, he

Xu Kang's ancient literature scores have always hovered between passing and failing, and this is mainly determined by the invigilator. If the invigilator is not strict, then fortunately, Xu Kang will have a great chance of passing. But

If the invigilator is harsh, he will have no choice but to cry and prepare for a make-up exam.

Xu Kang took out the Spring and Autumn Annals and said, "You have words, so you should be literate, right?"

"Get to know some."

"How about I read "Spring and Autumn" to you?" Xu Kang said: "If I read the wrong words, you can tell me."

"Okay." Guan Yu's answer was still simple.

So Xu Kang sat in the car and read "Spring and Autumn" aloud, causing everyone to look over. Xu Kang didn't care at all. His only purpose now was to make friends with Guan Yu, and other people's eyes didn't look at him at all.

Don't take it to his heart. In order to succeed, Xu Kang encouraged himself in his heart like this.

Guan Yu, since I met you here, you must belong to me. Because this is my consciousness as the protagonist.

During the night break, Cheng Yuanzhi called Xu Kang aside and said straight to the point: "Kang'er, do you want to make friends with Guan Yu?"

"Yes." Xu Kang agreed readily.

Cheng Yuanzhi frowned and said, "I think it would be better for you to give up."

"Why?" Xu Kang asked puzzledly: "He is very powerful. If he can be used by us, he will be of great help to us."

"He is not very powerful, but he is too powerful. He is like a dragon swimming in the water, a sleeping tiger. Once he is given a chance, he will become the dragon of Chengyun and the tiger descending from the mountain. This way

These people are not something we can control."

Xu Kang didn't expect Cheng Yuanzhi to have such a vision. He was surprised, and then he was silent for a while, and then said: "Why do we want to control him? Since he is a dragon and a tiger, why don't we help him and let him become a real dragon. I

When I think about it, he will definitely not forget our benefits. We don't want to be a monomaniac who dominates the world. One more friend will naturally open up another path. If he succeeds, he may also succeed in us at the same time. Why not do it.

"

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at Xu Kang in surprise, as if he didn't expect that a 13-year-old child could say such a sentence. After thinking about it carefully, he found that what Xu Kang said made sense, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

Xu Kang knew that the opportunity was too good to miss. If he wanted to regain Guan Yu, he must first get Cheng Yuanzhi's consent. He also said: "By doing this, at least our enemies will not win him away. Otherwise, if he becomes our enemy, then

It would be too bad for us." Xu Kang remembered that Cheng Yuanzhi died at the hands of Guan Yu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Cheng Yuanzhi finally relented and said: "Okay, then do what you want. But remember if it doesn't work, don't force it, don't anger him, otherwise I'm afraid all of us will lose our lives." Cheng Yuanzhi's last sentence was almost

He said it with a wry smile. He was considered a master of the generation and usually had few opponents, but this Guan Yu actually made him feel helpless in his heart. This feeling was like when he faced his master, the "Great Master" Zhang.

The appearance of Guan Yu is the same as when he was playing the role. But this Guan Yu is obviously younger. Such a young man actually has the same level of strength as his master. Just thinking about it makes Cheng Yuanzhi feel fear in his heart. Maybe winning him over is not a problem.

If he wanted to do something bad, what would it matter if he gave up his position as the leader of his side to him? After thinking about it, Cheng Yuanzhi immediately encouraged Xu Kang and told him to succeed at all costs.

Xu Kang, who received Cheng Yuanzhi's approval, even moved his car to Guan Yu's car, and Xu Kang's current little follower Luo'er came with him. Guan Yu had no objection to this.

From then on, the sound of Lang Lang's reading could be heard in the motorcade every day, and the relationship between Xu Kang and Guan Yu became harmonious because of the sound of reading. Zhuoxian is the administrative area where the entire Zhuojun prefect is located, and Liu Yan, the prefect of Zhuojun,

The Prefect's Mansion is located in this city.

After the convoy arrived in Zhuoxian County, Cheng Yuanzhi first contacted Feng Dehai. Feng Dehai was the person in charge of Taiping Road in Zhuoxian County and was the financial expert Cheng Yuanzhi relied on most. He was a businessman himself and was usually responsible for the entire Taiping Road in Zhuo County.

For daily expenses, he is one of the people Cheng Yuanzhi trusts most. This time, Cheng Yuanzhi may have to discuss the use of the 4,000 kilograms of gold with Feng Dehai.

Xu Kang did not join in the fun. As he arrived at his destination, Xu Kang was filled with anxiety. Although he successfully aroused Guan Yu's favor, he still didn't know how to recruit him. In fact, this activity was the most suitable for Cheng Yuanzhi.

, after all, his identity is there, but it would be good if Cheng Yuanzhi expressed no objection now, so why would he be willing to recruit him personally?

"Are you here?" Guan Yu said with a smile on his face when he saw Xu Kang walking over with Luo'er.

Xu Kang said "hmm".

"What's wrong? I'm not energetic."

Xu Kang said "hmm" again and then said, "Are you leaving?"

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes, I just unloaded the things and left."

"Where to go?"

"Anywhere is fine, it's just a casual meal."

"Can you come back to Chengjiacun with us?" Xu Kang asked hopefully.

Guan Yu remained silent and did not answer. Xu Kang did not give up and wanted to persuade him again. But Guan Yu said: "I am used to being free, so it is better to stay here." After speaking, he looked at Xu Kang seriously.

Xu Kang saw that maybe Guan Yu understood something, that he was rejecting him, so he had no choice but to say: "How about we go out to eat at noon, I don't know when we can meet again in the future."

"Okay, when I get my wages at noon, I will take you to have a delicious meal. I am quite familiar with this place in Zhuo County."

At noon, Guan Yu took Xu Kang and Luo Er to a restaurant called "Zhichun Pavilion". Guan Yu led the way and said with a smile: "This restaurant has a kind of barbecue from the grassland, which is very unique. Today I invite

You guys have a good meal."

The three of them had just entered the door and saw that the place was already full. They were about to greet the waiter in the restaurant when a group of people came down from the stairs on the second floor. Four men and one woman. Each of the four men was wearing silk clothes and looked extraordinary. The woman was a

Xu Kang took a closer look at the little girl who was about the same age as Xu Kang, and he actually recognized her as the girl who was present when he and Tian Yu had a feud with Li Shi outside Gu'an City.

Xu Kang saw that these four people looked extraordinary, so he couldn't help but glance at them more, but he didn't pay attention. He was waiting for Guan Yu to greet them, but unexpectedly he noticed that Guan Yu looked wrong.

At this time, the five people had already walked in front of Guan Yu. One of them was about to speak, but Guan Yu spoke first: "Guan Yu, I wonder if any of you have anything to do with me?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with interest and said: "Your name is Guan Yu now? But this has nothing to do with me. I just didn't expect to see you here. This is really hard to find."

It takes no effort at all.”

"Junior Brother Yan, do you have a problem with me?" Guan Yu's expression gradually turned cold.
