Time goes back to the second day after Guan Yu left Luoyang.
Zhang Fei and Huang Xu appeared outside Luoyang City with a team of 500 people covered in dust.
Not all the Longshan troops brought by Zhang Fei returned. Only 500 people came back this time, mainly the jade brought back by the guards.
As for the Dragon Breathing Guards brought by Huang Xu, all of them stayed in Indochina and were temporarily lent to Sun Ce for deployment.
As soon as the two appeared, they were recognized by the patrolling Qilin Army. After all, they were both former Longshan Army members and they knew each other very well.
Only then did Zhang Fei realize that so many things had happened during their absence.
The Four Spirit Army, the military parade, Xu Huang and others were crowned king, and Wei Jun initially wanted him to command the Qilin Army.
The stewards of the supply ship had told these things before, but they had only a partial understanding of them. Only now did they know the details.
Zhang Fei and Huang Xu couldn't help but sigh. The most important thing was Huang Xu. His father actually became the king!
"Then I will be the prince from now on, hahaha." Huang Xu joked and laughed at himself.
Zhang Fei and others clasped their fists and saluted in unison, "We have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Huang Xu kicked him away angrily, and the group entered Luoyang City talking and laughing.
Zhang Fei said: "Should we report our work first? Or should we go back and freshen up first?"
Huang Xu looked at Zhang Fei's chicken coop-like hair and felt that his image was not much better, so he hurriedly said: "Go back first and let someone bring a message to the palace. It won't be a problem."
Zhang Fei thought to himself, it just happened that he hadn't been back for a long time, and he didn't know how his sister and niece were doing, so he missed them.
The two of them lived in the same street and returned home together.
Zhang Fei pushed open the courtyard door and saw a little maid playing on the lawn with a little boy who had just learned to walk.
When the little girl saw Zhang Fei, she hid behind the maid in fear, but the maid was stunned and exclaimed: "The master is back?"
Zhang Fei also recognized this maid, nodded and said: "You are back, isn't my sister at home?"
The little maid bowed respectfully and said: "The eldest lady just left. She said she was going to Tangchi to check the accounts and would be back in an hour."
Mrs. Du was Du Liniang. Zhang Fei nodded and looked at the little one. He wanted to give his little niece a hug, but suddenly he realized that he was full of sweat and stinky, and he was extremely sloppy.
The little maid was indeed very discerning and said hurriedly: "I will prepare the hot soup right now. Master, please wait a moment."

···
"Yide, hahaha, you are finally back!"
The courtyard door opened, and Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Hui, Du Liniang, and some colleagues from the Longshan Army came over.
Zhang Fei had just taken a bath, changed into normal clothes, and was holding his niece and teasing her.
Seeing so many people arriving, he smiled and handed the little one to the maid aside.
"Brother Yan, I heard that you married a lovely wife. Didn't I come back to ask for a wedding drink, haha."
Yan Liang and Du Liniang looked at each other, and the latter shyly pulled Zhang Hui into the kitchen.
When men get together, they definitely want wine and food. Although Zhang Hui also wants to catch up with her younger brother, she is not in a hurry.
Everyone formed a circle around the stone table in the small courtyard. If there was not enough space to sit, they directly moved the Taishi chairs in the room.
Not long after, Huang Xu also came with a few people, and more than ten people gathered together to form a whole table.
The Zhang family is in good condition, and both siblings are high-income earners. All kinds of delicacies and bottles of fine wine are served to them in a short time.
Everyone was curious about the situation in the South China Sea, and Zhang Fei and Huang Xu didn't hide anything. They told the story as if they were telling stories.
The party lasted until midnight.
During this period, the palace sent someone to ask Zhang Fei and Huang Xuming to come to the palace early to see them.
Yan Liang and others said with envy: "You two brothers have made great achievements this time, Lord Wei doesn't know what he will reward you with!"
Zhang Fei and Huang Xu looked at each other and smiled. Wei Chengkang was so generous, and they were looking forward to some reward.
"By the way, does Yide know about your second brother's defection to King Liang?" someone suddenly said.
Zhang Fei was stunned, "Prince Liang?"
Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at each other. They still remembered the embarrassment of Guan Yu's sudden arrival and departure that day, but they did not expect that Guan Yu did not follow Liu Bei to the Japanese island, but went to the northwest instead.
The soldier said: "Yes, we set off yesterday, and some of us went with your eldest brother to see him off."
Zhang Fei raised his thick eyebrows and said in surprise: "My eldest brother is also in Luoyang? Then why did the second brother defect to King Liang?"
Everyone smiled awkwardly. They didn't want to say too much about the three brothers. To sum up, everyone has their own ambitions.
Zhang Fei took a sip of wine and thought about going back to his eldest brother Liu Bei to ask clearly why he didn't keep his second brother.
The next day.
Zhang Fei and Huang Xu entered the palace to see Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng had been waiting in the imperial study room early. When he was counting the jadeite last night, he had already thought about the rewards he wanted to give the two of them.
Not to mention anything else, the two of them brought him billions of unexpected incomes one after another, and with this time, it was well over 10 billion.
Wei Cheng has always been very generous to this kind of boy who gives money.
Of course, with so much jade, whether the market can absorb it is also a question, but this is what Uncle Hua should have a headache for.
If it doesn't work, break it into small pieces and let Mumu package it and sell it to downstream channels. Anyway, the jewelry company has developed well in the past two years.
"The last general, Zhang Fei (Huang Xu), has met Lord Wei!"
"Haha, you two, don't do this to me, just get up and sit down."
Zhang Fei and Huang Xu both had a carefree temperament. After hearing this, they stood up immediately and each pulled out a chair to sit down on.
Wei Cheng just likes to get along with people of this kind of temperament, unlike Xun or He Tianfeng, who are full of red tape.
"Thank you for your hard work on this trip south."
"I'm not bitter."
"What Mr. Wei said, it's not hard work. It's just like going out to play. Just give me such a task, haha."
Wei Cheng chuckled and looked up at the big pendulum clock in the corner.
Huang Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Wei, do you still have something important to do?"
Wei Cheng shook his head and said: "There are still two people who haven't come yet. If I want to come in advance..."
Knock knock~!
"Haha, here we come...come in."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The door opened, Sima Yi and Xu Shu came in side by side, and bowed respectfully to Wei Qing.
Seeing Zhang Fei and Huang Xu, they both smiled and said, "You are finally back."
Zhang Fei and Zhang Fei also returned the favor. They were both acquaintances and did not need too many polite words.
Wei Cheng saw this and said to Sima Yi: "Xiao Yi, please move the blackboard over."
Sima Yi walked behind the screen and pulled out a small blackboard. On the blackboard was a division of labor table similar to staffing.
On the top row, five vigorous and powerful characters of "Imperial Knights" were written in penetrating three-point font.
After the disbandment of Long Breath Guard, Wei Cheng has been thinking about how to form a legion that represents the strongest combat power of the empire.
Not only to intimidate Xiao Xiao, but also to create a Sword of Damocles suspended above the Four Spirit Army.
What will happen outside, and your orders will not be accepted?
Wei Cheng will not let this situation happen. I can make you king today, but I can kill you and replace you with someone tomorrow.
The establishment of the Imperial Knights was a violent organization established to prevent this situation from occurring.
Wei Cheng pointed to the list of personnel on the blackboard and said, "I'll give you a month to gather the people above."
···
Xuanwu City is also the original Shuofang City.
Zhao Yun and others are sparring in Dingjunfang. This is daily homework and no one is allowed to be absent.
As the saying goes, Xu Huang is a martial arts maniac. Under his leadership, every one of the Xuanwu Army followed suit.
Zhao Yun held an ebony spear and faced the siege of three people at the same time, but still fought back and forth.
In terms of understanding of marksmanship, I'm afraid no one in the entire Xuanwu Army can match him, not to mention that Zhao Yun knows more than just marksmanship.
"Okay, Zilong, let's get here early today. You'll have to patrol the grassland later."
Not far away, eldest brother Zhao Feng shouted this way.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he took three steps back and saluted the three training officers with cupped fists.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They spent all their efforts on the boss and used all their moves, but in the end they couldn't even trap Zhao Yun.
Looking at Zhao Yun's calm and relaxed expression, it was obvious that he didn't use all his strength when he was sparring with them just now.
However, it's good to think about it. Being able to spar with such a powerful person will also improve their martial arts a lot.
"Brother, can you come back later from patrol today?" Zhao Yun walked over and asked while washing his hands.
Zhao Feng handed over the towel and frowned: "Why, are you going to trouble those two big withers again?"
Zhao Yun nodded and said angrily: "When I woke up this morning, I heard that two more lambs were taken away. I can't let it go anymore."
Zhao Feng said angrily: "Don't think I don't know, has the girl from the Ma family found you again?"
"Ahem, cough, cough." Zhao Yun was raising his head to drink water. He choked on the words and explained with a red face: "Brother, I, I am..."
Zhao Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Forget it, don't explain to me, just go if you want. Remember to take good care of that girl and don't let her get hurt."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young man coming on horseback.
"Zhao Zilong, you tricked my sister into going out again?" Ma Chao shouted angrily.
Seeing Zhao Feng, Ma Chao cupped his fists and saluted, "Master."
Zhao Feng smiled and said: "I told you not to call me Master, I'm not a few years older than you."
Ma Chao bowed respectfully and retorted: "A master is a master, and the master teaches me marksmanship. What is he if he is not a master?"
Zhao Feng waved his hand speechlessly.
Ma Chao looked at Zhao Yun who turned to run away, and shouted angrily: "Zhao Zilong!"
When Zhao Yun heard this, he hurriedly ran away. Ma Chao was not willing to let this guy who favored his sister run away, so he hurriedly chased after him.
When Zhao Feng saw this, he sighed helplessly, "What a bad fate..."
In the afternoon.
Zhao Feng was dealing with military affairs when he suddenly heard someone coming from Luodu and hurriedly got up to greet them.
"Brother Zihu, long time no see!"
The visitors were none other than Sima Yi and Xu Shu.
Zhao Feng was startled for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "It turns out to be Yuan Zhi and Xiao Yi, who are you?"
Sima Yi looked at Xu Shu, who took out a piece of edict and said: "By order of Lord Wei, I am here to recruit your younger brother and several others."
Zhao Feng took the edict and after reading it, his eyes lit up, "I didn't expect that Zilong would have such a good fortune, it's great, it's great!"
···
Xuanwu City.
Guan Yu is training the newly formed artillery team in an orderly manner.
Fortunately, I have trained many new troops with Liu Bei in the past two years and accumulated a lot of experience, so it is not a joke.
What's more, these fifty people are all elites carefully selected by him. The first requirement is excellent archery skills.
Whether it is the Thunder Dragon Cannon or the Wind Dragon Fire Gun, there are certain requirements for aiming and arm strength.
Those with superb archery skills are in need of both.
"The shooting angle of a musket is different from that of a heavy artillery, and is easily affected by many factors such as wind speed. You should also feel this way when shooting, so it is best to lift the gun head a few minutes. Look at this caliper. One moment represents one hundred meters.
…”
Guan Yu actually had never fired a gun, but that didn't stop him from drawing inferences. The world only knew that he was good with swordsmanship, but in fact he was also good at archery, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to hold a cannon and shoot.
Not far away, Lu Bu and Wei Jue were sitting under the pavilion and watching.
The two were chatting about some of the recent government affairs in the DPRK, and Lu Bu talked about how he was troubled by the government affairs. His original intention was to ask Wei Jue to introduce him to some talented people, such as the talented people from Heluo Academy.
Wei Jue smiled and said: "You can write a letter about this and submit it to the college, and they will naturally make arrangements."
Lu Bu didn't understand this. He just found out today that Heluo College will arrange the places for graduating students. He didn't want to have another person to please... I always felt that this Liang Wang was particularly aggrieved.
On the hillside, a series of roars sounded.
This made Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others at the foot of the mountain very envious. They looked up from time to time, thinking about how to make Guan Yu a good friend.
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran over and said, "I have seen Gaoyingtou. I am from Kyoto and want to see His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang."
Hearing this, Gao Shun hurriedly asked, "What's the important thing?"
The soldier shook his head and said: "I just asked to see His Highness. Oh, by the way, the man also asked me if Captain Guan was here."
Gao Shun frowned and looked at Zhang Liao and others aside. Zhang Liao shook his head and said he didn't know what was going on.
Hao Meng rolled her eyes and guessed: "Is it that Liu Xuande?"
Gao Shun frowned and said, "It's possible, I'll go see you first and then talk about it."
Outside Dingjunfang.
Zhang Fei and Huang Xuzheng looked curiously at the roaring sound on the hillside.
Huang Xu guessed: "They should be training troops, it doesn't look like there is an enemy attack."
Zhang Fei nodded slightly.
Not long after, Gao Shun came out with a few people. When he saw Zhang Fei, he immediately thought of the battle of Hulao Pass.
At that time, the scene of Zhang Fei leading five hundred Longshan troops into the battle formation, easily taking off Hua Xiong's head and leaving was still fresh in the memory of Gao Shun and others.
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. Mr. Gao didn't come to greet him from afar. I'm sorry for the disrespect, but I still hope Haihan will do it."
Zhang Fei and Huang Xu clasped their fists and returned the greeting, saying: "We came here under orders without any prior knowledge. We are the ones who are nagging."
"I don't know what the purpose of General Zhang's coming here is?" Gao Shun asked tentatively.
Zhang Fei did not hide anything, took out the edict, handed it to him directly, and said: "Wei Jun ordered the formation of the Imperial Knights. I came here this time to ask for people. I also asked Brother Gao to take us to see Liang Liang."
King, so as not to lose your etiquette."
Gao Shun took the edict and after browsing it for a while, he was shocked on the spot.
"Imperial Knights?!" Zhang Liao and others also looked over, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
It looks like that person is going to make some big move again.
