Guan Yu had a strange realization in his mind, although he was awarded the honorary title of "King of Dingbei", in the army, he only asked his subordinates to call him a general or marshal. In his subconscious, he always felt that the so-called princes were all caged birds and didn't do business.

He selected three able-bodied guards who had followed him for many years and summoned them to his tent. After the three of them gave a salute, Guan Yu raised his head and asked, "Ben Shuai wants to take you to a special mission, which may be extremely risky. If you don't want to take the risk with me, you can offer to stay, and Ben Shuai will never blame him. ”

The three strong men looked at each other, and none of them flinched.

Guan Yu nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, I'm going to give each of you a new name, and you have to memorize it." What are your last names? ”。

The strong man who was slightly older and had a thin circle of sideburns and a beard bowed down and saluted: "General, the humble surname is Qiao." The other two also reported their surnames, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Duan.

It's night, starry. Guan Yu took "Qiao Feng", "Zhang Wuji", and "Duan Yu" to the shore of the sparkling Hongze Lake, took out the bamboo whistle from his arms, put it to his lips and blew it gently.

A short, shrill whistle gently swept across the deep water, and a moment later a small canopy emerged from the nearby dark reeds, and rowed silently towards it.

Approaching the shore, the boat did not dock, and at a distance, Guan Yu saw two tall figures on the bow of the boat, one of whom clenched the steel knife in his hand tightly and whispered: "Who are you?" ”。

Guan Yu raised his hand and clasped his fists unhurriedly and said, "Don't panic, we came to join the gang at the invitation of Miss Zheng Lin'er!" The boatman might as well come closer, and I'll show you something. ”

After hesitating for a moment, the boat staggered to the shore. Guan Yu was not in a hurry to get on the boat, but approached the side of the ship, took out a green jade bracelet from his arms and handed it over. The man on the boat stretched out his hand to take it, and the two of them lowered their heads and whispered to each other for a while, then stretched out their arms and handed them back, and greeted in a gentle tone: "Brothers, get on the boat!" ”。

The boat left a few ripples and sailed towards the vast water, heading towards the island in the middle of the lake.

Located in the heart of Hongze Lake, the island is in the shape of an irregular gourd, and most of the island's residents make a living from fishing.

When the boat docked, the man with the knife on the boat led them to a wooden hut and arranged for them to rest.

Guan Yu lay in his clothes, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, thinking about possible situations and coping plans. He originally planned to go out and take advantage of the darkness to wander around, but he inexplicably felt that there were more than one pair of eyes staring at them in the darkness around him, and he didn't dare to act rashly, and he was dazed until it was nearly dawn, and he finally closed his eyes.

After daylight, Guan Yu got up and finished washing, and was planning his next move, when the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Zheng Lin'er walked in with a red face.

This girl is wearing a very well-fitting new blue-green cotton linen gown today, a pair of pink embroidered shoes on her feet, her long black hair is no longer unkempt, but clean and translucent, braided into a long braid that naturally hangs down on her waist, her figure is concave and convex, her two well-proportioned long legs are breezy step by step, and her skin is healthy wheat.

Guan Yu couldn't help but look her up and down a few more times, and secretly said in his heart: This girl looks average, but her figure is really good! There is a tranquil nature that has experienced the wind and sun.

Seeing Brother Bi looking himself up and down with appreciative eyes, Zheng Lin'er blushed shyly, but she still couldn't hide her excitement and stepped forward to salute: "Brother Bi, you're finally here!" Sure enough, Lin'er has been waiting here for a long time. ”

Guan Yu returned the salute with a smile, and called the personal guards to introduce Zheng Lin'er: "These are the friends I made." ”

Zheng Lin'er politely greeted them one by one, and then stared at Guan Yu with flashing eyes and said, "Brother Bi, heroes, I have already mentioned you to my eldest brother, so I will lead you to meet him, and he will definitely close his mouth happily." ”

Under the leadership of Zheng Lin'er, they came to a tall wooden house, and several soldiers with guns in front of the door nodded slightly when they saw Zheng Lin'er, glanced at Guan Yu and the others lightly, and ignored them, and let them step into the hall.

Dozens of people were gathering in the hall, and the air was filled with the uneasy smell of gunpowder, and it was clear that there had been a fierce quarrel here.

Zheng Lin'er trotted a few steps and shouted affectionately: "Big brother, this is the big brother Bi I mentioned to you a few days ago, my life-saving benefactor, these three are his friends, come together to help us fight against Chu Qi!" ”。

Everyone turned their attention to Guan Yu and the others, and Guan Yu found that some of them were not kind to their eyes, especially a tall thin man with a beard under his jaw that was half black and half white. Zheng Haoran put aside everyone with a smile on his face, stepped forward, hugged his fists and bowed, and said to Guan Yu: "I have listened to my sister talking about you these days, and thank you for saving my sister's life." ”

Guan Yu smiled and saluted: "Bi Lei is not talented, it's a trivial matter, why worry about it?" ”。 Zheng Haoran has a skin color similar to Zheng Lin'er, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and two black and thick eyebrows. What made Guan Yu a little uneasy was that behind his smiling eyes, there seemed to be a pair of cold eyes.

Guan Yu raised his hand and said with a smile: "These three are Qiao Feng, Zhang Wuji, and Duan Yu, all of whom are my friends, and we have the heart to join your army together to complete the great cause of opposing Chu and restoring Qi together!" ”。

Zheng Haoran turned to the three of them, still smiling and clasping his fists: "I have admired it for a long time, and the names of the three are like thunder." ”

Guan Yu on the side smiled in his heart: Obviously, I don't know each other, how did I come from like thunder? If you really knew the origin of these three names, you would have sat on the ground in fright.

The three of them also thanked Zheng Haoran in unison with a fist salute.

I don't know who in the crowd snorted coldly in the nostrils, and said in a strange way: "Nameless! It's not impossible to join our rebel army, but you have to submit a petition and kill a few officers and soldiers with their heads. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Lin'er said in a loud voice unhappily: "Uncle Niu, why did you say this? When did our rebels have such a rule? ”。

The tall and thin man glanced at Zheng Lin'er, and said with a smile on his face: "Miss Lin'er, don't get me wrong, this is a decision made not long ago, if you don't believe it, you can ask your eldest brother." ”

Zheng Haoran smiled slightly, lowered his eyelids, and was noncommittal.

Zheng Lin'er saw that her eldest brother didn't help her speak, and said with a displeased face: "Since it's a new rule, it's not good for me to say anything." It's just that one of these people is my savior, and the rest are his friends. Give me a boat and a sword, send me to the other side, I'll help them cut down a few red turban bandits, and hand in their names for them, right? ”。

A dark-skinned young man with muscular arms walked out of the crowd and said, "Sister Lin'er doesn't need to be angry, our rebels are not someone who wants to join, it depends on whether he has the ability!" ”。 He glanced at Guan Yu, Qiao Feng and the others contemptuously, and said loudly: "I want to fight with one of you alone, if you can win against me, then the vote can be appropriately reduced." ”

Guan Yu smiled slightly, he was still very familiar with the kung fu of his subordinates, and he knocked that self-righteous and dark-skinned strong guy to the ground, and he didn't need to make a move at all.
