My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 288: The Dispirited Liu Bei

"Where is the millstone?"

After Guan Yu lifted the millstone high, he still had the energy to ask questions, which frightened the child so much that he stammered, as if he couldn't speak anymore.

"Just put it here..."

"Just put it here..."

With a bang, the millstone hit the ground heavily, splashing up a cloud of dust.

"Be good!"

"My brave man, you are truly born with supernatural powers!"

"I wonder what the warrior's name is, how could he have such strength!"

The onlookers also gathered around in shock and praised Guan Yu again and again.

Even Lu Bu and Gao Shun, who had originally complained about him, could not help but admire Guan Yu's strength when they saw this.

"My surname is Guan, my given name is Yu, and my courtesy name is Yunchang!"

Guan Yu was a very concerned person. He had been wandering for many years and had kept his identity secret. He was very happy to be able to show his strength in front of everyone today.

"Waiter! Since your master has said that whoever can move the millstone can take all the meat in the well, I have already moved the millstone in public, so hurry up and get the meat!"

Guan Yu then urged the waiter who was still unable to hide his shock.

"I will take the meat now!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately picked up a pole, put his upper body into the well and started taking out the meat.

At this moment, Gao Shun, who had been silent all the time, suddenly became interested in the millstone beside him. He also squatted down and picked up the millstone like Guan Yu.

However, Gao Shun's face turned red as he only lifted the millstone halfway before he lost strength and had to put it down again.

"Yun Chang is indeed a brave man. This millstone must weigh hundreds of pounds, but Yun Chang can lift it so easily. It seems that the ancient saying that Xiang Yu was able to lift a tripod weighing a thousand pounds was true!"

"A certain Gao Shun admires me!"

After Gao Shun put down the millstone, he couldn't help but praise Guan Yu.

In this era, the Han people highly respected the use of force, and Gao Shun, as a military general, was naturally no exception.

"Hahahaha... I've traveled a lot and never met an opponent in martial arts. Brother Gao Shun, you're already stronger than most people by being able to lift half of this millstone."

Guan Yu was obviously very happy with Gao Shun's praise and comforted him repeatedly.

Lu Yi was a long-established frontier official. Both his reputation and achievements were far beyond the reach of Guan Yu today.

Guan Yu was moved by Lu Yi's humble attitude, but he also felt inferior. He was eager to perform in front of Lu Yi to prove that he was also a hero worthy of Lu Yi's humble attitude.

"Humph, what's the point of a millstone? I, Lu Bu, will try it too!"

Seeing that there was some arrogance in Guan Yu's words, Lu Bu felt unhappy and came to the millstone.

He didn't even have to move his hands and feet to prepare, and he lifted the millstone more easily than Guan Yu. After lifting it, he didn't stop there. Lu Bu even used both hands to weigh the weight of the millstone, and then threw the heavy millstone back to the ground with a relaxed look. This shocked the onlookers who had been amazed by Guan Yu's supernatural power even more.

I didn't expect to meet two such brave men in the small Zhuo County today.

Even Guan Yu was surprised when he saw this.

He had just moved the millstone himself and knew that its weight was close to his limit.

And it was obvious that Lu Bu in front of him was far from reaching his limit.

But judging from strength, he was definitely no match for this person.

Guan Yu, who was originally somewhat proud of his strength, suddenly felt depressed.

Lu Yi was standing beside Guan Yu, watching his every move and couldn't help but smile.

He knew that if he wanted to win over a proud man like Guan Yu, in addition to treating him with courtesy and humility, it would be best if he had abilities and qualities that would impress him.

In the past, Liu Bei won Guan Yu's loyalty by claiming that he was a descendant of the Han Dynasty.

Although Lu Yi is now the prefect of Yanmen County, he is still slightly inferior to the descendants of the Han Dynasty emperor. Therefore, when he saw the waiter had taken out the pork, he immediately seized the opportunity and walked up to Lu Bu with a complaining look.

"Fengxian, this millstone is the property of the butcher shop owner. Now that we have taken the meat, how can we just throw his things around?"

As he spoke, Lu Yi squatted down, lifted up the heavy millstone, and put it back on the wellhead, under Guan Yu's astonished gaze.

He performed this move very beautifully. He neither saved Guan Yu's face by slapping him in the face, but at the same time he used actual conditions to let Guan Yu fully understand his own strength.

Therefore, Guan Yu was shocked and subconsciously became more respectful to Lu Yi.

After all, who wouldn't feel fondness and respect for such a person who holds a high position and has means, ability and charm?
"This guest is so powerful!"

"In the past, only my master could lift this millstone. I didn't expect that today I would meet three heroes who are as strong as my master!"

"This fan of pork belongs to the guests!"

The waiter handed over the pork with admiration on his face.

After Lu Bu signaled Gao Shun to take the pork, he continued to speak in a rude manner.

"I want to hold a banquet to entertain the warriors. Meat without wine is not a good banquet. Go and inform your master and get some good wine!"

"what?
When these words were spoken, not only the waiter was shocked, but even the people watching on the side were stunned by Lu Yi's domineering attitude.

They thought that today they might be encountering bullies who were blackmailing the store owner and that there would be a good show to watch, so instead of dispersing, more and more people gathered.

Even Guan Yu felt that something was wrong and stepped forward to advise him somewhat embarrassedly.

"Well... Lord, since we have already taken the pork from the store, how can we ask for wine? This is a bit too much..."

"Yun Chang, you don't know this!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi turned around and smiled.

"If it was someone else's shop, not only would I not force the pork, I would pay according to the price, for fear of taking profits from the people!"

"But the Zhang family is a big family in Zhuo County, and they are quite wealthy. It would be a waste if we didn't accept it!"

Seeing that Guan Yu's face turned unhappy after hearing this, Lu Yi added another sentence.

"Besides...if the store owner knew we were coming, he would be so happy that he wouldn't be stingy with just a little wine."

As he spoke, Lu Yi continued to urge.

"Just tell your master what I said, and he will kill pigs and sheep and prepare wine to entertain us."

"This……"

The waiter didn't dare to disobey the tough guy Lu Yi, so he could only run towards Zhang's house with a strange look on his face.

When the people who were watching on the side saw that the waiter really went to report the news, they couldn't help but get excited.

"Hey, it's obvious that these guests haven't lived in Zhuo County for a long time. They don't even know the reputation of Butcher Zhang." "Today, these people not only took the meat, but also wanted Butcher Zhang to prepare wine. It seems that there will be a good show to watch today!"

They were all from Zhuo County, and most of them knew Zhang Fei's abilities and temper, so they all put down their business and gathered around the small butcher shop to discuss the matter.

Not long after, a burly young man with a leopard head and round eyes followed the waiter back to the market with a happy look on his face.

However, when he was about to arrive in front of his own butcher shop, the joy on his face disappeared and he acted as if he was coming to call someone to task.

"Who took the meat from my well and asked Zhang to prepare wine at home?"

"What a courage! What an arrogant tone!"

When the onlookers saw that Zhang Fei had really come, they screamed and moved away, fearing that if a fight broke out, the city gate would catch fire and innocent people would be affected.

"Since you, the butcher, have said before that whoever can lean on the millstone can take all the meat in the well, I can move the millstone and take the meat myself!"

"Are you trying to eat your words and gain weight?"

Guan Yu's phoenix eyes flashed coldly, and he said to Zhang Fei unhappily.

He hated people who were not trustworthy the most in his life, and the apology he had felt for taking Zhang Fei's meat disappeared immediately.

"What if I break my promise?"

"You want to take my pork, but I don't know if you, a big red-faced man, have the ability to do it!"

Zhang Fei became furious upon hearing this. Without waiting for Guan Yu to explain, he swung his fist, which was as big as a casserole, and hit Guan Yu on the head.

"How brave!"

Guan Yu himself was a murderer on the run. How could he be frightened by Zhang Fei's aura when his hands were stained with blood?

He immediately swung his fist to meet the attack, and the two men, one red and one black, immediately started fighting.

But the two men's martial arts skills are equal.

Guan Yu once admitted that Zhang Fei's strength was even stronger than his.

However, Zhang Fei was a little younger, not even twenty years old, so the two of them fought back and forth and were evenly matched.

"Hey! You red-faced man have great strength!"

The two fought for a long time, but there was still no winner. Seeing this, they immediately separated temporarily in tacit understanding. Zhang Fei rubbed his sore wrist and looked at Guan Yu in front of him with some surprise.

"Humph, you black bastard may not keep your word, but you do have some tricks up your sleeve!"

Guan Yu moved his shoulders and looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

"That was just an appetizer. Do you dare to fight me, Old Zhang, for another three hundred rounds?"

Zhang Fei's rude temper was aroused by Guan Yu, and he pointed at Guan Yu and provoked him in a bad tone.

"Haha, Guan has traveled all over the country and has never been afraid of anyone!"

Guan Yu also smiled proudly, and immediately stepped forward to fight with Zhang Fei again.

Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are humanoid beasts with incredible destructive power.

Neither of them had suffered any injuries yet, but the surrounding taverns, teahouses, and stalls had suffered a lot of losses because of the fierce fight between the two.

Even a few bystanders who were accidentally hit by their fists and kicks were so unlucky that they screamed and flew backwards.

Only Lu Yi and his two men, who were skilled and brave, watched the fight with great interest. Although Gao Shun was no match for them, he was more than capable of protecting himself.

After two years of training, with his perverted brother as a daily sparring partner, Lu Yi's fighting skills have been improved again, and are now no less powerful than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

But if he gets serious, he is still no match for Lu Bu.

However, Lu Bu became even more confident.

He was certain that he would not be afraid even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei attacked him together, and there was naturally no need for him to dodge.

Lu Yi waited for a moment, figuring in his heart that the two men must have been seriously exhausted after such a long fight, so he seized the opportunity, took two steps forward and came in front of Guan and Zhang, grabbed each of their tightly pressed hands, and slowly separated the two men.

"Hmm? This Lu Yi is indeed very powerful. It seems that it was no accident that he lifted the millstone just now." Guan Yu couldn't help but feel moved after feeling Lu Yi's true strength.

"Hiss... Where did this pretty boy come from? Why does this guy, who looks fair and clean, have so much strength?" Zhang Fei was even more shocked and opened his mouth in surprise. As the tyrant of Zhuo County, he had never had any opponent. Now, not only did he meet Guan Yu who could fight against him on equal terms, but he also met another master. It was naturally difficult for him to remain calm.

And if he knew that Lu Yi had a younger brother, Lu Bu, who was stronger than him, this black guy's mouth would probably get even bigger.

"You two are both heroes of Hebei. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. How can you risk your life for a piece of pork?"

"I am Lu Yi, the governor of Yanmen County. Please stop fighting and make peace for my sake!"

Lu Yi separated the two people. On the surface, he looked relaxed, but in fact, he was extremely tired. It was estimated that even if Lu Bu was the one to separate the two people, it would take a lot of effort.

He now very much doubted whether Liu Bei was a hidden master, as he was able to separate the two of them effortlessly.

"Since it is Lord Lu who has spoken, Guan Yu is willing to follow him!" Upon hearing this, Guan Yu immediately expressed his obedience.

Zhang Fei, who was standing by, originally just wanted to test Guan Yu's character and didn't really feel sorry for a piece of pork, so he also laughed.

"Haha... What's a piece of pork worth?"

"I just heard that there is a man who can move the millstone. I want to see what a hero he is."

"As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Guan Zhuangshi is truly a hero!"

Having said that, Zhang Fei turned around and looked at Lu Yi with excitement.

"I, Old Zhang, have heard of the name of the Lord of the Mansion a long time ago. The Lord of the Mansion not only holds a high position, but is also the number one hero in the entire Hebei Province. It is a great honor to meet two heroes today."

"My surname is Zhang, my given name is Fei, and my courtesy name is Yide. My home is not far from here, and I have already arranged a banquet according to the Lord's order. I hope the Lord and Guan Zhuangshi will do me the honor of attending the banquet!"

"Hehe, Yunchang, what did I just say to you?"

"We took the pork from Zhang Zhuangshi, and he wants to treat us to a feast. Will it come true?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi smiled and teased Guan Yu, who also laughed uncontrollably upon hearing this.

"Your Excellency has great foresight, I admire you!"

"Since Mr. Zhang has invited us so kindly, we should not refuse his favor and go to the banquet together!"

As Lu Yi said this, he took Guan Yu, Lu Bu and Gao Shun and headed towards Zhang's mansion under the guidance of Zhang Fei.

However, just as they were leaving the market, they passed by a young vendor wearing a straw hat and carrying a lot of straw mats and straw sandals at the intersection.

After a quick glance, Lu Yi found that this man had a handsome face and extraordinary bearing, especially a pair of very slender hands that even reached below his knees. He was moved.

When he passed by Lu Yi and others, he observed them calmly.

When I saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei talking and laughing as they passed by me, I suddenly felt a strong sense of loss and regret in my heart, as if I had suddenly lost my soul.
