The next day, Liu Bei and Guan Yu came to Li Qiutong's wooden house as promised.

"General Li, how is your health lately?"

After Li Qiutong invited Liu Bei to a seat, he said, "Fortunately, there is no danger to life." ”

"That's good. With that, Liu Bei turned to Guan Yu and said, "Second brother, you go out first." Let me talk to General Lee alone for a moment. ”

"Yes, big brother. After speaking, Guan Yu turned around and left the wooden house.

"General Guan is a hero among people, how did Uncle Huang meet him?" Li Qiutong said curiously.

Liu Bei nodded and said: "The second brother is indeed a rare famous general in the world, but his personality is too arrogant. When the three of us met in Zhuocheng, because of the same ambition, we married Jinlan in Taoyuan. For so many years, if it weren't for my two younger brothers who have always supported me, I wouldn't be the king of Shu today. ”

"That's quite a coincidence, I also have two Jinlan brothers. It's just that my second brother is not in Beitongguan now. ”

"I see, City Lord Li's brother must also be a person with strong martial arts, after all, he is a person who can fight with the overlord. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Qiutong probably knew the reason why Liu Bei knew him. Immediately said modestly: "Uncle Huang praised it falsely, it was just the overlord who kept his hand, and we were also lucky." But this time I really thank Uncle Huang for saving me, I can't drink alcohol today, so I thank Uncle Huang with this tea. Saying that, Li Qiutong raised the teacup in his hand and drank it all.

Seeing Li Qiutong say this, Liu Bei also knew that he was almost polite, and it was time to get to the point.

He also raised his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the cup, he said: "If the general says so, Liu will not buy Guanzi." This time he came to Beitongguan to meet the general, and Liu actually wanted to discuss a problem with the general. ”

Seeing that Liu Bei started the topic, Li Qiutong also became serious, "You say." ”

Liu Bei looked at the sky outside the window and said slowly: "What does the general think is like today?"

"In today's world, there is chaos behind what seems to be calm. Li Qiutong remembered that Ren Xingtian seemed to have said this, so he directly applied Ren Xingtian's words.

After hearing Li Qiutong's answer, Liu Bei was a little surprised for a while, "That's true, since the war of destroying the gods three hundred years ago, the eight points of the world have been formed, and in the past three hundred years, there has been a long grudge between the eight countries, and there is only one fuse missing." But that's not what I'm referring to. ”

"What is Uncle Huang referring to?"

"It is the people of the world, and the people are the foundation of the country. And when it comes to today's eight, the political economy is different. These distinctions are bound to have a significant impact on people's lives. Moreover, the strength of the martial arts is constantly squeezing the lives of ordinary people. ”

Li Qiutong listened silently and didn't say anything more. And Liu Bei also continued: "And now the strongest people are the Qin State and the Chu State. King Qin's ambitions are known to the world. The United Heavenly Kingdom, the Han Kingdom, and the Chu Kingdom must be intended to unify Dongwu. If he can treat the people well and govern the country with goodness, it is not impossible for Qin to establish a dynasty. It's just that the king of Qin is a person who is trying to redeem his troops and is bent on the military. If it dominates the world, I am afraid it will not focus on improving people's livelihood. On the contrary, it will become even worse, the Northern War, the South China Sea, and the West Devil, he will not let go of any of them. When the time comes, the people will only suffer more than they are now. And the overlord himself does not have the intention of dominating the world, he may just want to maintain the status quo and implement his way of hegemony. Moreover, Qin and Chu all belong to the country of martial arts, and ordinary people have no status at all in the Qin State. ”

"What about you, what do you think should be done?"

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Although the contemptible people do not have the ambition of the King of Qin, they also do not have the force of the overlord. But I have the people and the people in my heart. The common people are the most ordinary people in the world, but they are also the greatest people. They may not have earth-shattering abilities, but they are an essential part of the world. Without the people, there can be no peace, and without the people, there can be no development. And the warrior was born in the world, and he was supposed to protect the people and the weak. This is the true way of a martial artist in my heart. On the other hand, now, the martial artist is superior to others, bullying and dominating the market, and he is the only one, and this kind of martial artist is a wrong path. Liu's lifelong wish is to realize such a peaceful and prosperous world and bring peace and tranquility to the world. ”

"There was once a man who said something similar to me. It was she who taught me the way of a warrior who hoes the strong and helps the weak. ”

When Li Qiutong said this, Liu Bei also nodded and said: "I can't imagine that there are people in this world who have similar views to Liu, if I have the opportunity, I would like to meet him." ”

"yes, I want to see her again, too. Speaking of this, Li Qiutong looked at Liu Bei and said, "Then the purpose of Uncle Huang's trip is to let me join you?"

Liu Bei didn't expect Li Qiutong to say his purpose so bluntly, and immediately continued: "General Li is really straightforward." That's right, when I heard about General Li's deeds of fighting the overlord for the people of Zhou from my friends in Tianshan, I felt that we were one person. Because a great dream cannot be realized by one person, it is the unremitting efforts of countless like-minded people that we can get closer and closer to that dream. ”

After listening to Liu Beizhi's words, Li Qiutong was silent for a long time, and the two sat quietly. Liu Bei's words reminded Li Qiutong of Yun Luoxuan, maybe the world in their hearts is the same.

After a while, Li Qiutong spoke: "To be honest, I didn't think about it so much at all. I just want to have the ability to protect myself, my brothers, and the people I like in troubled times. Compared to Uncle Huang, my goal is still too selfish. However, today's remarks also made me figure out some things. Back then, I was just an innocent and ignorant teenager, and I often accompanied my grandfather to the market to sell medicines. I have seen the bullying and domination of martial artists, and I have also seen the powerlessness of ordinary people. At that time, I wanted to become stronger and become the strongest martial artist, so that I could protect the people around me from harm. But now that I think about it, I was really naïve at that time, even if I really became the number one in the world, how could one person protect all the people who were bullied in the world. ”

"What does General Lee mean?"

"I agree with Uncle Huang's idea, you have clicked through me. I am willing to work with Uncle Huang to realize that great dream. ”

After getting Li Qiutong's reply, Liu Bei was very excited in his heart and raised his teacup, "Today, with General Li's help, Liu is endlessly grateful, so he will pay tribute to the general with this cup. After speaking, Liu Bei drank the tea in the cup.

Li Qiutong also drank the tea in the cup, and then returned to the topic, "But Uncle Huang, you also saw this time, there are people in the Tang Kingdom who want to harm me." If this matter is not resolved, it will inevitably cause trouble again in the future. After I catch the mastermind behind this time, I will defect from the Tang Kingdom and go to Shu Han City to join you. ”

Liu Bei also knew the seriousness of this matter, and immediately said: "What General Li said is extremely true, this person can lead the Mongolian army here, and the conspiracy behind it is not small, and the general has to be careful." If there is anything you need help with, the general said bluntly. ”

"It's okay, thank you Uncle Huang for worrying. ”

"Then I'll wait for the good news from the general. After speaking, Liu Bei got up to say goodbye.

Li Qiutong also reluctantly stood up, wanting to send Liu Bei out of the city. But Liu Bei supported him and said, "I have received the general's wishes, but the most important thing is that you still take care of your body in the house." ”

Seeing Liu Bei's resolute attitude, Li Qiutong had no choice but to do this, and watched him leave the wooden house.

Looking at Liu Bei's leaving, Li Qiutong was not thinking about Liu Bei, but Yun Luoxuan. From a rational point of view, Li Qiutong shouldn't have agreed so simply just now, and it is simple to take refuge in Liu Bei, but there are also many problems. Not only the problem of soldiers, but also Yang Ruiyun and others may not want to take refuge in others.

But Li Qiutong still agreed, not because Liu Bei's dream really moved him. It was because of Liu Bei's words that Li Qiutong remembered Yun Luoxuan and her dreams.

"Sister Yun said that a warrior should take it as her responsibility to protect the weak, what she needs is not my protection, but my ability to protect the weak and her dreams. As long as our goal is a direction, I will definitely bring your dreams and meet you again. ”

The tea in the pot was still steaming, but Li Qiutong's thoughts had already drifted into the distance.

And Liu Bei, who had just gone out, was also shocked by the scene in front of him. The playground, which was originally level, was now full of potholes, and in the ruins, two people were standing. One person's face is like a red date, and his beard is as long as his waist. And the other, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, is tall and has a resolute face. It was Guan Yu and Deng Zhanxuan.

"What's going on?" he finally persuaded Li Qiutong, if his second brother injured his brother, it would be worth it.

Seeing Liu Bei come out, Ren Xingtian walked up to him and explained to him: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, Ah Xuan is just talking to General Guan." ”

After hearing Ren Xingtian's explanation, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

"How long have they been fighting?"

"Hit from the moment you went in. ”

Half an hour ago,

When Guan Yu just came out of the house, Ren Xingtian and Deng Zhanxuan were standing outside the house. Guan Yu walked slowly past the two of them without any communication. With his eyes closed, he stood still.

The three of them were a little embarrassed for a while. Ren Xingtian spoke first: "I have heard the name of General Guan for a long time, and I am really heroic when I see it today. ”

"It's over. Guan Yu only said coldly, not taking Ren Xingtian in his eyes at all.

And Ren Xingtian then asked: "The big sword used by General Guan should be the legendary Four Holy Divine Soldiers, the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife." ”

Hearing this name, Guan Yu's eyes widened slightly. glanced at Ren Xingtian, "Exactly." ”

"General Guan is also holding the Four Elephant Divine Soldiers, no wonder you can condense the green dragon. Deng Zhanxuan said excitedly.

Guan Yu glanced at the giant axe behind Deng Zhanxuan, and said, "You are the Xuanwu Earth Shaking Axe." ”

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect to meet the owner of another Four Elephant Divine Soldier, this is fate. ”

Guan Yu just smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.

And Ren Xingtian suddenly asked, "General Guan shouldn't have been able to sign a contract with the Blue Dragon Divine Beast yet, right?"

Guan Yu's eyes opened instantly, staring at Ren Xingtian. "How do you know?"

Before Ren Xingtian could say anything, Deng Zhanxuan preemptively said: "Impossible, General Guan is so strong, how can he not sign a contract yet?"

"Although General Guan is already in the realm of a three-star holy martial artist, his sword does not have the slightest breath of divine yuan. In other words, although the Qinglong Glaive chose this master, the Qinglong Divine Beast had not yet recognized General Guan. I guess I'm right, General Guan. Ren Xingtian explained seriously.

And Guan Yu didn't hide it, even if he admitted it. And the tone of his speech to Ren Xingtian also changed, "The Blue Dragon Divine Beast has indeed not signed a contract with me yet, I wonder if the master knows why?"

Ren Xingtian shook his head and said, "The divine beast chooses the host, depending on the divine beast's own wishes. In my record of receiving the Tianshan Mountain, the Qinglong Divine Beast, as the honor of the four elephants, is powerful and has a lofty status. The general is now able to use the Blue Dragon Glaive, which shows that he has acquiesced to you, but why he hasn't shown up to communicate with you yet may be the general's own problem. ”

Guan Yu sighed helplessly. "Then did General Deng sign a symbiosis contract with the Xuanwu Divine Beast?"

Deng Zhanxuan nodded and said, "When I was five years old, Lord Xuanwu appeared and signed a contract with me and became my symbiotic beast. It's just that my strength is not as strong as the grandmaster, so I can't use his power at all. ”
