649 I’ll Have Wine to Drink if I Follow You
“General Zhao Yun has already brought him to the palace three times. However, you have always been in seclusion, so they have returned empty-handed every time. When you see him, you should be able to guess his identity,” said Yang Mi with a smile.
“Sister Mi, Li Xiang, that big black guy is so powerful! He fought with Zhao Sheng and Zhang Jian early in the morning and defeated them again. Zhao Sheng was now a body-refining transcendent who had reached an extremely high level. His strength was at least tens of thousands of pounds, but he was easily defeated by the big black man. According to what General Zhao Yun said, not many people in the army would be his match.”
At that moment, Ning Xiaoyue, who was dressed in tight-fitting clothes that perfectly outlined her alluring figure, rushed in again.
Ning Xiaoyue’s body was slender, and she was wearing tight green clothes that outlined her perfect curves. The fullness of her chest was also unexpected and shocking. It had a different kind of charm and gave people a strong desire to conquer her.
“Li Xiang, there’s a big dark-skinned man who came recently. He’s so powerful that there’s almost no match for him in the army. He’s an amazing warrior!” said Ning Xiaoyue excitedly.
“Who is it?” Li Xiang was even more curious.
Zhao Sheng’s body-refining cultivation had given him astonishing strength. If he were to fight, he would be at the top of his level. Even fighting someone of a higher level would not be difficult for him.
“Country Lord, General Zhao has brought a man here!”
At this moment, a soldier came to report.
“Speak of the devil, here he is. Let them in. I’d like to see who the big black guy you’re talking about is!” Li Xiang also revealed a faint smile, and his heart was filled with curiosity.
Soon, the two of them entered the pavilion and waited for breakfast. Zhou Yutong and the others had arrived a long time ago and were casually chatting.
Not long after, Zhao Yun, who was dressed in martial attire, strode forward. Beside him was a burly, bearded, and dark-skinned man.
Li Xiang’s gaze also fell on him immediately.
“What a burly man!”
At first glance, he couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. Such a face had an innate advantage in the army and had a huge deterrent force.
“Greetings, Country Lord.”
When Zhao Yun saw Li Xiang, he immediately bowed and said, “There is great news for Country Lord. A few days ago, the Recruitment Hall obtained a great general. Not only was he extremely powerful, but he was also a peerless battle general who had experienced many battlefields. Although he was recruited into the army, I can’t make any arrangements for him. Thus, I can only come to ask for Country Lord’s arrangement.”
“What a valiant general! May I know what’s your name?”
Li Xiang looked at the dark-faced man in front of him and asked calmly.
“I’m Zhang Fei. Zhang Yide!”
The black-faced man opened his mouth and spat out a sentence. It was like a thunderclap, deafening the ears. He was also sizing up Li Xiang. This was the person he would be loyal to in the future, so how could he not observe him carefully?
The master chose his subjects, and the subjects also chose their masters.
If they didn’t get along, then needless to say, there was no need to work together.
“Zhang Fei?”
At this moment, even Li Xiang couldn’t help but be shocked.
Who was Zhang Fei? He was one of the protagonists in the “Oath of the Peach Garden”. Among the three countries, he was considered the top battle general. The legend of the three heroes fighting against Lu Bu was still circulating. Liu Bei’s strength might be slightly weaker, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were top-notch for sure. The world only knew about Guan Yu’s strength and his title as a Martial Saint. However, they did not know that in the eyes of many, Zhang Fei’s strength was not only on par with Guan Yu’s, but he was even slightly stronger.
In particular, Zhang Fei was not the legendary boorish man. When he was careful, he was more meticulous than anyone.
There were still legends of Zhang Fei’s embroidery and painting, which showed that he was multi-talented.
It was only because of his love and obsession with wine that gave people the image of a boorish man, which covered up his true face.
He was one of the most famous drunkards in history.
Once he started drinking, there was no end to it.
Of course, his leadership ability was also unquestionable. His combat strength was also the best.
“I didn’t expect the Recruitment Hall to give me such a big surprise. If I can get Zhang Fei, the strength of the Kingdom of Dawn will increase greatly.” Li Xiang’s heart was filled with ecstasy.
According to the records, Zhang Fei, also known as Yide, was a famous general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period.
One of the most famous events was when Liu Bei was defeated at Changban slope, Zhang Fei only led 20 cavalrymen to cover the rear. They blocked the river and the bridge, and no one in Cao Cao’s army dared to approach. One could only imagine how terrifying his power was.
When he was sweeping Xichuan with Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, he helped Yan Yan in Jiang Prefecture. During the battle of Hanzhong, he defeated Zhang Ji at Mingqu and made great contributions to Shu Han. He was promoted to General of Chariots and Cavalry, led Colonel-director of Retainers, and was given the title of Marquis of Xixiang. He was then assassinated by Fan Qiang and Zhang Da. In the post-lord era, he became the Marquis of Huan.
In the history of China, Zhang Fei had always been known for his bravery, recklessness, and hatred for evil.
It was undeniable that he was a peerless battle general. If used well, he could block an army of 100,000.
Even Li Xiang felt unbelievable that such a general would abandon his sworn relationship with Liu Bei and Guan Yu to join the Kingdom of Dawn. It was as if he was dreaming.
Of course, as long as Zhang Fei was determined to stay in the Kingdom of Dawn, he would not turn him away.
This was a brand new world. The vastness of the world was immeasurable. The three of them might be separated in different areas, and the distance between them might be impossible to meet again in their entire lives. It was even possible that they had encountered some kind of danger and had completely died. There were too many unknown factors. In the Myriad World Continent, there was no longer an eternal protagonist. All of them were fighting for their lives in the chaotic world.
No one could hope that they were the protagonists in the past and would not fall now. That was a dream.
“With your friendship with Liu Bei and Guan Yu, why did you choose to join the Kingdom of Dawn?” Li Xiang took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He asked Zhang Fei with a calm expression.
“Because… I’ll have wine to drink if I follow you!”
Zhang Fei’s answer almost made everyone’s jaws drop. Even Ning Xiaoyue, Zhou Yutong, and the others’ mouths were slightly agape. Their faces were full of shock.
This reason was powerful!
Even Li Xiang couldn’t help but curse in his heart at this moment.
“Big brother, second brother, and I were separated from the very beginning. Even now, I still don’t know where they are. This world is just too big, so I’m afraid I’ll never be able to find them in my life. It was a chaotic world, and the Human race had a hard time surviving. The Kingdom of Dawn was strong enough to protect a large number of humans. I’m not heartless. I’m just a human, so what’s wrong with joining the Kingdom of Dawn?”
