Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

Chapter 573 Closure Arrives

The people along the way all made way for him. They saw the Third Master holding an eighteen-foot spear, riding a black horse, looking majestic and awe-inspiring. The black horse seemed to know that its master was eager to return home, and its four hooves seemed to fly, running very fast.

Behind Zhang Fei followed a squad of elite soldiers, all of them spirited and in high spirits.

These were all his former subordinates whom he later recruited.

He was incredibly excited when he heard that his elder brother had captured Wancheng.

And so, they traveled day and night without a moment's rest, heading towards Wancheng!

"How much longer until we arrive?" Liu Bei asked hurriedly.

"We should be able to reach Wancheng soon." Upon hearing this, Liu Bei was overjoyed and suddenly stood up, spilling a lot of wine from his cup.

"It's wonderful that my third brother is coming. My brothers and I have been separated since the Battle of Xuzhou. I never thought we would meet again."

Qianhe smiled slightly, thinking that with Zhang Fei's arrival, Liu Bei's side was even more powerful.

When Guan Yu arrives, we can take Jingzhou!

Liu Bei hurriedly gave the order: "Quickly prepare wine and food, clean the room, and welcome my third brother."

The soldiers obeyed the order and left, and the entire mansion bustled with activity as everyone eagerly awaited Zhang Fei's arrival.

.......................

"Hehe, I'm here too, I wonder if it's the same one who likes to say 'I'm here too'!" Chizuru thought to herself.

Before long, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves grew closer.

Liu Bei hurriedly led his men to the door to greet them.

Zhang Fei spotted Liu Bei in the distance and shouted, "Brother!" His voice was so loud that it made everyone around him's ears ring.

Zhang Fei dismounted and strode to Liu Bei. The two looked at each other for a moment, then embraced tightly.

"Third brother!"

Zhang Fei's eyes were filled with tears: "Brother, I've missed you so much."

Liu Bei's eyes also reddened: "Third brother, today we brothers are reunited, we must have a good reunion."

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, Sun Qian said from the side, "My lord, General Guan has returned."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei smiled broadly, while Zhang Fei's smile vanished instantly.

He had heard that Guan Yu had defected to Cao Cao and had killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou!

"Whoaaah!"

Zhang Fei gripped his eighteen-foot spear tightly: "Damn Guan Yu, he's joined my brother. Now I hear that you've captured Wancheng, so he's coming to attack Wancheng. Don't be afraid, brother, I, Zhang Fei, will go and poke a few holes in him right now."

Just as Liu Bei was about to grab Zhang Fei, he saw Zhang Fei ride away on his black horse.

The atmosphere became tense at this moment: "Oh dear, Third Brother! You've misunderstood Yun Chang!" Liu Bei shouted from behind.

But Zhang Fei wouldn't listen to any of that.

Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, and the others standing to the side exchanged bewildered glances.

Only Chizuru remained calm.

"It's alright, let's go outside the city!" Qianhe said, clapping her hands to signal them to go.

They immediately rode off on horseback.

........................

Upon arriving at the city gate, looking into the distance, one could see Guan Yu, like a god of war, riding the Red Hare and wielding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, galloping towards them at breakneck speed.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei, like a tiger descending the mountain, grabbed his eighteen-foot spear and charged out like an arrow, eager to fight Guan Yu to the death!

"Give me your life, you red-faced thief!"

Zhang Fei roared, his voice shaking the heavens.

As soon as Liu Bei and his entourage stepped out of the city gate, they witnessed the fierce battle between Zhang Fei and Guan Yu!

When Guan Yu saw Zhang Fei approaching with a fierce and murderous aura, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

However, before he could react, Zhang Fei's spear attacked him like a venomous snake emerging from its hole.

He was terrified and hurriedly brandished his knife to block the attack.

In an instant, the Azure Dragon Blade and the Serpent Spear made a crisp clanging sound, like the clash of metal, which resounded through the sky!

However, Guan Yu did not panic. He tightened his grip on the reins and shouted in a booming voice, "Third brother, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean? You've sided with Cao Cao, and now you're here to attack my elder brother!" Zhang Fei roared furiously.

Guan Yu retorted righteously, "Stop talking nonsense! Why would I hit my elder brother?"

Zhang Fei's eyes widened in fury as he roared, "You traitor, what face do you have to lie here? You killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, do you really think I didn't know?"

Guan Yu spoke earnestly, "Third brother, I feigned surrender to Cao Cao only to protect my sisters-in-law. I have now brought them back safely."

Zhang Fei's eyes widened like copper bells, his anger barely contained: "Who would believe your sweet talk? You've killed countless enemies for Cao Cao, do you think I wouldn't know?"

Just then, Liu Bei rode up on his horse and shouted, "Third brother, what second brother said is true. The situation was critical at the time. If second brother had not agreed to Cao Cao's request, I'm afraid my sisters-in-law would have met with misfortune. This was just a temporary measure."

Zhang Fei's spear trembled slightly, and his heart began to waver.

He might not believe what others say, but he would never doubt what his elder brother says.

Liu Bei, having heard Qianhe's words, naturally believed them even more!
