Chapter Thirteen: Brotherhood

Guan Yu finally came, dragging a big sword backwards and walked up with steady steps. After seeing Xu Kang, he nodded slightly, then struck with the big sword, put the handle of the knife into the ground nearly a foot, cupped his fists and said to Yan Liang and the others: "

Sorry, in order to find this big knife, I traveled to a lot of places and wasted time. Don't blame me."

"Buy a sword before a battle." Yan Liang said with a smile, "Do you think that with this sword in your hand, you can defeat the Overlord Magic Sword passed down to me by my master?"

Wen Chou also said: "Did you just buy this knife? Do you just want to defeat my second brother with this incompetent weapon?"

"It doesn't matter, we can't lose." Guan Yu's words were extremely calm, but at the same time he was full of arrogance.

Yan Liang was furious when he heard this and said: "I just can't stand your arrogance. You are obviously just a commoner. Today I want to let the master know that he was right in passing the Overlord Sword to me. Come on."

The others immediately cleared a space for the two of them.

The two stood facing each other, then shouted loudly at the same time, and rushed towards each other with their swords. Xu Kang saw the two swords finally turned into a ball, and the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong was heard inside.

His clothes were making a rustling sound, but he could not clearly see how many moves the two had exchanged.

In this way, Guan Yu and Yan Liang were separated, joined together, and separated again. They fought back and forth for several hours, but they still couldn't decide the outcome. Seeing that the sun was setting, the two of them still had no intention of giving up.

Xu Kang was mesmerized by the scene of such a flash of swords. He felt that nothing in the world could be more exciting than this, and he became even more eager to learn superior martial arts.

Finally, there was a crisp "ding-dong" sound, and the two figures suddenly came together and then separated. Yan Liang was panting, while Guan Yu stared blankly at the sword in his hand that was broken into two pieces.

Yan Liang laughed and said: "How is it? I won."

"Nonsense." Seeing Guan Yu looking at the sword in his hand in a daze, Xu Kang retorted first: "Your sword was made by a famous master, but Brother Guan's sword was temporarily bought from the street. You just relied on it."

The sharpness of your knife is just enough to cut off Brother Guan's knife. This does not mean that you are more capable than Brother Guan."

"Okay." Guan Yu came back to his senses and said: "If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to complain about. However, I will repay you for the shame of the sword today."

Yan Liang snorted coldly and said: "I will wait for you anytime, let's go." After hearing this, several other people followed Yan Liang and left.

When Wen Chou walked to Guan Yu, he suddenly said: "Actually, I also want to fight you, but I have to wait until you have a useful weapon."

Guan Yu snorted and ignored him.

Xu Kang kept watching their figures disappear from his sight, and his heart was full of dissatisfaction. When he turned around, he saw Guan Yu sitting on the edge of the cliff, staring blankly at the county seat of Zhuoxian at the foot of the mountain.

Xu Kang sat next to him and comforted him: "Actually, you really didn't lose."

"I know." Guan Yu said: "I'm not thinking about this. My family has been poor since I was a child. When I was 10 years old, I met my master. He said that I was a prodigy in martial arts and accepted me as his apprentice. He taught me how to practice martial arts.

At the same time, he also taught me how to read. He is the person I admire most in my life. Later, when I was 18 years old, I rescued the young lady from Hujiazhuang from a bully, and then we fell in love with each other sincerely and got married. After three years of marriage, I raised

I have two children. I just didn’t expect that the bully in the past would not give up and found someone to frame me. I killed him in a rage. Then I wandered around and wandered. It has been 4 years and 3 months since I left.

I remember that my wife is pregnant again, but it's a pity that I can't be with her. I wonder if my third child is a boy or a girl?" When Guan Yu said this, tears filled his narrow eyes.

Xu Kang stared blankly at Guan Yu, who was out of control. Did he know Guan Yunchang, who was always as calm as ice and extremely arrogant at heart? Did he become so frustrated just because he lost Yan Liang's move? But in an instant Xu Kang suddenly

Thinking about it, isn't now the best time to win over Guan Yu? Although he was taking advantage of others, but thinking about his own life in the future, Xu Kang decided that it didn't matter even if he was despicable once.

Xu Kang quickly organized his thoughts and said, "What about Yan Liang? What's going on with him?" Xu Kang intuitively knew that Yan Liang would be a breakthrough if he wanted to win over Guan Yu.

Sure enough, Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Yan Liang? Do you know who my master is?"

Xu Kang didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, so he could only shake his head.

"Then do you know who the three great masters in the world are today?" Guan Yu asked again.

Xu Kang shook his head again.

Guan Yu said proudly: "They are the swordsman Wang Yue, the spear king Tong Yuan, and my master the magic sword Li Yue. Among them, the spear king and my master are sworn brothers, and they are brothers. In fact, my master and the spear king Tong Yuan were sworn enemies at the beginning, and the two of them fought the whole time.

They fought for 7 years and fought for 7 years, but in the end no one could do anything to the other. In the end, they cherished each other and became brothers of the opposite sex. They also married a pair of sisters from the Yan family in Hebei, Yan Yun and Yan Yu, which became a good story at the time."

"Yan family?" Xu Kang said in surprise.

"Yes, it's the Yan family. Now you understand. They are Yan Liang's aunts. With the help of his two aunts, Yan Liang asked my master and the gun king Tong Yuan to teach him their lifelong martial arts. Yan Liang himself also practiced martial arts.

A prodigy, he made rapid progress and was highly valued by my master and the Yan family. Until one day, when I was successful in my studies, my master took me to the Yan family and prepared to pass on the Overlord Magic Sword to me. Yan Liang refused to accept it and wanted to compete with me.

However, he was defeated by me. How could Yan Liang, who was praised to the heavens by everyone, bear my crushing on him? So from then on, he always opposed me, even if I left the Yan family, even if the master passed the Overlord Divine Sword to him.

, he still kept pestering me. Although his martial arts skills were not as good as mine, he was a child of a noble family and his family background was far better than mine, so he often used this to suppress me, and my relationship with him became increasingly bad. Later, I became a prisoner because of murder.

He became a wanted criminal of the imperial court and had no choice but to flee to the end of the world. Unexpectedly, he was still found by him."

"Another aristocratic family?" Xu Kang was filled with emotion when he heard this. Thinking of the conflict between himself and the Li family, he told Guan Yu all this. After Xu Kang talked about his hatred for the Li family, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "So I will

The purpose of joining the Taiping Dao is to eradicate the scum of aristocratic families like the Li family, and then equalize the land, level the wealth, and build a peaceful world where no one oppresses others, no one exploits others, and everyone has food to eat and clothing to wear."

Seeing Guan Yu smile bitterly and shake his head, Xu Kang continued: "Brother Guan, look at this Zhuojun County. The south of the city is the land of aristocratic families. Look at the courtyard with dense vegetation, rockeries and strange rocks, and pavilions and pavilions. Although there are few people there,

Walking around, we can feel the tranquility and beauty from here. Look at the poor people in the east of the city, the low stilts, dilapidated thatched houses, and the ants that are constantly flowing in and out just for a meal.

The same people, can you imagine the same human beings, the same human beings living in the same city, why is the gap between them so big?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Why do poor people have to live like ants, life after life, descendants and descendants, and they will never change?" Xu Kang said generously: "It's because of the aristocratic families and the existence of the gentry. They control the lifeblood of this country. In every

Placing one's relatives and friends in positions that can change their destiny makes those poor people who have ability but no family background can only become poor forever and can never change their own destiny. And I want to change all of this now.

, I want to eliminate those abominable aristocratic families and restore order to this world."

Guan Yu shook his head and said: "I admit that your statement is very novel and inspiring. I have never heard anyone dare to say this about the world before. But do you think that the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty can be overthrown so easily?

, and it is almost impossible to overthrow the rule of an aristocratic family with a history of thousands of years."

Xu Kang didn't expect that all the saliva he had wasted would be of no use to Guan Yu. He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. When he traveled to the Three Kingdoms, he could hand over a general with a few glasses of wine and buy a civil servant with a few pennies. How did he end up here?

Is it so difficult? Am I not even able to handle Guan Yu? Xu Kang said with some frustration: "Now that the people are withering and the world is in chaos, what does Brother Guan plan to do in the future? Is it to join the army?"

"Join the army?" Guan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe."

"But the current army has long been controlled by the nobles. If you perform meritorious service, it belongs to the sons of the nobles. If you obey, you may be given some small profits. If you don't obey, you may be given a glass of poisonous wine or something.

It's a cold arrow." Xu Kang deliberately frightened him.

But is Guan Yu someone who will be frightened? He smiled and said: "That is better than participating in the Taiping Road that is bound to fail. Listen to my advice, the Taiping Road will not achieve great things, and in the end you will only end up with a reputation as a traitor that will be infamy for thousands of years."

"Is there really no chance of winning in Taiping Dao?" Xu Kang wondered. He himself came from a later generation, so he naturally understood the ending of Taiping Dao. But was Guan Yu that powerful? He could actually see it.

"What do you think?" Guan Yu asked without answering.

"I'm the one who asked first." Xu Kang curled his lips and said dissatisfied: "Is there something that Taiping Road didn't do well that made Brother Guan feel that it will definitely fail?"

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just think so." After saying that, he was silent for a moment, and just when Xu Kang was about to express his dissatisfaction, he continued: "These days, I see that you are not very optimistic about Taiping Road.

Why even join?”

This time it was Xu Kang's turn to be silent. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "First, because my adoptive father saved my life twice, and I want to repay my kindness. Second, although Taipingdao will fail, it does not necessarily mean that I will."

Will fail."

Guan Yu was surprised and asked: "How?"

"Hasn't Brother Guan heard of the shortcut to Zhongnan? I have no father or mother, and no force to rely on. Based on my current ability, even if I can surrender to a force, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive in troubled times.

, let alone being heard by the princes. But I can be reused in Taiping Dao, so that I can establish my own power. Even if Taiping Dao fails, I can still support my troops and respect myself, and then bargain with the court.

At this time, it is not impossible to retreat without losing the titles of princes and generals, and to advance even break the earth and become king. It is not impossible to even watch the changes in the world and strive for hegemony in the world."

Guan Yu looked at Xu Kang blankly. At this moment, he seemed to see the light in Xu Kang's eyes. This kind of light was too familiar to Guan Yu, because he had seen this kind of light in his eyes countless times. This kind of light

The name is ambition.

"Is this your plan?" Guan Yu asked.

"yes."

Guan Yu was silent for a while and said: "It sounds good, you can try it."

Xu Kang thought he had heard wrong, and was a little dumbfounded. Then he said happily: "So Brother Guan is willing to join Taiping Dao with me?"

Guan Yu smiled and said: "No, I am cooperating with you. Anyway, I have nothing now, so why not give it a try according to your plan, maybe I can really be made a marquis? Haha."

"Okay, don't worry." Seeing Guan Yu's smile, Xu Kang couldn't help but smile and said, "I will definitely help you and make you famous all over the world." Xu Kang's thin body deliberately showed a heroic appearance.

, it seems a bit funny. But he is so confident that Guan Yu has already achieved the position of governor of Jingzhou in the Three Kingdoms. Now, with his understanding of the Three Kingdoms and Guan Yu's bravery and military ability, he will kick him away when the time comes.

It is not impossible for Liu Bei to become king on his own.

"No." Guan Yu refused: "I am here to assist you."

"Ah?" Xu Kang was stunned and said: "Brother, don't be joking. What virtues and abilities do I have for you to assist me?"

Guan Yu solemnly said: "Based on what you just told me and looking at the poor people in the city, your ambition should be greater than mine, right?"

Xu Kang hesitated for a moment and said, "But are you so confident in a child like me?"

Guan Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I have no choice. I have been wandering for too long, and even my sword skills have begun to become rusty. My pride has also begun to waver. I know that I can never waste time like this anymore."

"Then with my brother's ability, he can definitely find a better choice than me?" Xu Kang whispered.

Guan Yu said: "I know my character. I only have hatred for those aristocratic families and cannot serve them."

Seeing the affirmative look in Guan Yu's eyes, Xu Kang finally said: "Okay, I understand, I will definitely realize your ambition, and mine."

"Okay, today I, Guan Yu, swear that I will be loyal to you from now on." After Guan Yu said this, he was about to pay homage.

Xu Kang quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Guan, please don't do this. If you don't dislike it, why don't we become brothers and share the joys and sorrows in the future? How about that?"

"Okay." Guan Yu said cheerfully. "Let's go down the mountain to buy sacrifices for worship."

"Okay." Xu Kang was overjoyed and immediately led the horse and went down the mountain talking and laughing with Guan Yu.

While walking on the road, Guan Yu saw that Xu Kang was a little frowning and couldn't help asking: "Second brother, what's the matter?"

Xu Kang hesitated and said, "Brother, I seem to have forgotten something, but I can't remember what I forgot?"

Guan Yu looked Xu Kang up and down and said: "You have nothing missing. Okay, don't think too much, let's leave quickly, otherwise, the city gate will be closed."

Xu Kang agreed and followed Guan Yu quickly back to the city.

After returning to the inn, the two set up an incense table, offered sacrifices to the black cow and the white horse, then ordered the birth dates, burned the incense and worshiped and declared their oaths. Finally, Xu Kang worshiped Guan Yu as his eldest brother. The two were about to drink and celebrate when Xu Kang suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted

Said: "I remembered."

Guan Yu asked doubtfully: "Second brother, what did you remember?"
