Liu Xuande would never be a succubus of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Zhang Fei on the side widened his eyes and opened his mouth into an "O" shape. It took him a while to come back to his senses.

She patted her chest and shouted, "Wow! Sister, you're even stronger than the cow at home!"

She jumped to the edge of the well, looked down, then looked up at Guan Yu, with a little more admiration in her eyes, but she still refused to admit defeat:

"But I can do this little thing, too! Come, let me show you my skills!"

As she spoke, she began to roll up her sleeves, revealing her wheat-colored arms with smooth muscle lines, revealing a wild beauty.

Then, Zhang Fei grabbed the edge of the millstone on the ground and pulled it hard. The millstone moved away a few inches, and the snowflakes were shaken into flying, covering her face.

Guan Yu stood aside, watching her struggle coldly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

She patted the snow off her hands, turned around and leaned against the edge of the well. Her green robe rustled in the wind, and her long hair fluttered in the snow, making her look like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, cold and lonely.

"Zhang, the meat has been pulled out, why don't you go and get it?"

Her tone was indifferent, yet contained a hint of command, like a high and mighty general.

"Hey, you unpleasant guy!"

Zhang Fei snorted, shook off the snowflakes on his head, and retorted, "Guan, don't put on that cold face. We haven't even decided who's stronger between us yet!"

Although she complained like this, she nimbly jumped to the edge of the well, leaned down, and pulled out several pieces of pickled meat with her nimble hands and feet.

The meat was frozen hard, with a thin layer of frost on the surface. She shook the rope, and the meat swung in the air, bringing up a cold breeze.

She finally grinned at Guan Yu, showing off her white teeth: "How is it, sister, am I doing my job well? This roasted meat is delicious, sister, you are so lucky!"

Her tone was full of pride, and her energetic and aggressive nature was clearly visible.

"..."

Guan Yu did not comment, but just nodded lightly and turned his gaze to Zhang Fei's round face, which was magnified by the snowflakes.

Although that face was not as delicate as hers, it was bright and charming, especially those big eyes, which were as bright as torches in the snow and revealed a spirit of not admitting defeat.

Suddenly, she felt that although this girl was a little noisy and came from a wealthy family, she was indeed very different from those wealthy children from noble families that she had met in the past. At least she had real strength.

So, Guan Yu walked forward and took the meat handed to him by Zhang Fei. His slender fingers accidentally brushed against the back of Zhang Fei's hand. At that moment, the latter was stunned for a moment and quickly grinned.

"Don't touch me!"

Zhang Fei subconsciously retracted his hand and glared at Guan Yu, but his tone lacked confidence.

Guan Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "It's just taking the meat, why is Zhang so nervous?"

Then she turned and walked towards the firewood pile in the corner of the yard, her back as cold and arrogant as a pine tree, leaving Zhang Fei standing there.

"Although you have powerful abilities, how can you be so arrogant and disrespectful!?"

"Hey, take my punch if you dare!"

Zhang Fei became angrier and angrier, and finally decided to use his fists to reason things out, but Guan Yu seemed to have anticipated this and dodged it easily.

"boring."

"Ahhhh, I'm so angry, take my punch again!"

"boom--"

Guan Yu threw the meat on the ground, then turned around and grabbed Zhang Fei's wrist with both hands, saying coldly, "It's you who wanted to take the meat, and it's you who wanted to fight. What do you want?"

"It's nothing special, I just want to compete with you!"

"Come on then."

Just as they were about to continue fighting, two hands suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed their wrists, and then separated them.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked to their side at the same time - a handsome man had appeared there without them noticing.

Brief Introduction: New Year: Chapter 3: There is a man, he is a relative of the Han Dynasty... (k)

This person has a handsome face, fair skin but not frail, and many snowflakes in his hair.

His eyebrows are as sparse as distant mountains, with the ends slightly raised, making his peach blossom eyes look even deeper; his pupils are dark and warm, his eyes are clear as if containing stars, and when the ends of his eyes droop slightly, he reveals a kind look.

What a handsome young man!

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still a little angry, but when they turned around, they were stunned and unable to move their eyes.

"Both of you warriors possess unique skills and astonishing martial arts. I admire you very much."

"..."

Guan Yu was the first to come back to her senses. When she saw that Liu Bei was not dressed in a noble manner, was wearing a commoner's headscarf, and was very handsome, the coldness and arrogance on her face disappeared instantly.

She quickly put away her arrogance, clasped her fists, bowed her head and returned the greeting, her voice clear but with a hint of respect: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."

She stood up straight, her figure under the green robe was as straight as a pine tree, and her slightly curly hair hung down to her waist, making her look like a cold sword, heroic and imposing.

"Hey, I just saw this sister is as strong as an ox, and she moved the millstone very easily, so I felt itchy and wanted to experience it myself, I don't have any other intentions."

As Zhang Fei spoke, he reached out and scratched his head, and the snowflakes on his short hair slowly fell off.

Her face couldn't help but turn red, and she smiled heartily with fangs on the corners of her mouth, as if she was a little leopard being praised by her owner.

Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei sideways after hearing this, then raised his eyes slightly, curled his lips, and revealed a cold smile, with a hint of teasing in his tone:

"I see. I thought you wanted to come up and ask for money for the pork."

She crossed her arms over her chest, her long legs slightly crossed under her green robe, and stood casually yet exuding a sense of aloofness and elegance. The snowflakes reflected on her face, outlining the sharpness and beauty between her brows.

"Hahaha, what nonsense is that? It's just a little bit of pork, why bother with it?"

Zhang Fei laughed so hard that he fell backwards. His round face flushed a little and his big eyes narrowed into slits, full of pride.

Suddenly, she stopped laughing, turned to look at the person who came, her eyes flashed, and a shrewd look began to emerge from her wild face.

Zhang Fei looked the visitor up and down, his rough but delicate nature clearly revealed. He whispered, "So there really is such a peerless beauty in the world... Could it be that you are Liu Xuande, known as 'the handsome man of Zhuo County'?"

She put her hands on her hips, shook her short hair, and the wooden hairpin swayed in the snow again, revealing her stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.

Although Zhang Fei looks careless and wild, he is actually very meticulous and always pays attention to small details that others fail to notice.

For example, the person in front of you has such a handsome face, he must be famous. With a little imagination, you can know his identity.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei smiled calmly, nodded, and admitted, "There is a reason for this. I didn't enter through the main gate. It was really rude..."

His eyebrows were arched and there seemed to be stars in his eyes.

Snowflakes slid down from his shoulders. His figure under the cloak was tall and straight yet elegant, and his handsome face was a bit humble, which made people feel good about him.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. If you hadn't helped us just now, we might have already fought head-on and demolished the gate."

Zhang Fei patted Liu Bei's shoulder with a laugh, then grabbed his wrist and said, "Well, now that you're back, we've prepared some good meat. Let's go have a drink together."

"So you are Liu Xuande..."

Guan Yu's eyes flashed with admiration when he heard this. She saluted again with clean and neat movements, and her long hair swayed slightly with the movement, making her figure under the green robe look fuller.

That cold and handsome face became a little gentler, and his voice was low but full of sincere admiration: "I have heard rumors along the way about Xuande's love for the people. Now that I see him, I can see that he is indeed a handsome man with profound martial arts skills!"

His eyebrows raised slightly, and the cold light in his eyes faded a little. Unlike the coldness and arrogance he showed when facing Zhang Fei, he was now full of admiration.

The news about Liu Bei's deeds in Yangzhou - fighting the powerful and dividing the land, doing charity, fighting the enemy single-handedly, etc., has long been spread throughout the streets and alleys. Although Guan Yu is cold and arrogant, she also respects such a hero.

After hearing this, Zhang Fei first looked at Guan Yu, then looked down at his own rude appearance, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his round face.

She scratched her head, her short hair swaying messily, and grinned, "I think so too!"

His tone was full of agreement, as if he was afraid of being at a disadvantage.

"?"

"You two are overpraising me. It's just some empty reputation."

Liu Bei smiled gently, shook his head, and said, "Even I know there are mountains beyond the mountains, let alone the two of you fighting just now. You were like tigers in spirit and form. It was a pleasure."

"Hahaha, easy to talk about!"

When Zhang Fei heard such a reputable person praising him, he was immediately overjoyed. If he had a tail, it would probably have been raised to the sky by now.

She said, "It's so cold outside. Why don't you two follow me into the house? I'll prepare some good wine and delicious food for you."

Guan Yu naturally had no reason to refuse. She nodded slightly, her voice clear but still polite: "Then it will be troublesome."

Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and the coldness on her face faded, becoming more gentle.

"No trouble, no trouble!"

Zhang Fei waved his hand, grinned with a sincere look on his face, and patted his chest roughly. The curves under his clothes swayed, and his petite body seemed to exude a warmth.

She turned her head to look at Liu Bei, blinked, and said, "Ha, Xuande, please rest assured. I understand what you mean."

She smiled slyly, as if seeing through his thoughts, and then said loudly:

"I'll send some meat, wine, and food to your house later so your mother can have a taste!"

Zhang Fei stood with his hands on his hips, his hair disheveled by the wind, his face full of pride, like a chivalrous hero who was willing to help others and give them alms.

Damn, this is a rich woman.

"That's it, thank you very much."

Liu Bei bowed and chuckled, a gentle look on his face, his eyes slightly lowered, revealing a bit of gratitude. The snowflakes on his cloak fell with his movement, and the snow grains in his hair reflected the candlelight, making him so handsome that it made people's heart beat faster.

"Oh, no, no, it's just a small favor."

Zhang Fei waved his hand, his face full of indifference, his eyes wide open, revealing a kind of cleverness that was both rough and subtle.

Then she extended her hand towards the house and said softly, "Two of you, please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei stepped aside, his clothes fluttering in the wind and his short sword dangling at his waist, making him look even more heroic.

"you first."

Guan Yu smiled slightly, and his slender fingers stroked his wrist gently, his movements elegant and gentle.

Seeing the two of them starting to play politely, Liu Bei quickly reached out his hands, grasped their hands, and said with a smile: "There is no need to distinguish between the front and the back. Let's go in together."

"……Eh."

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, his round face slightly red, his eyes wide open. She bared her teeth, her fangs flashing, as if she was a little shy because of the sudden closeness, but then she grinned and acquiesced to his action.

"……it is good."

Guan Yu was also slightly stunned, a blush appeared on his cold and fair face, his long eyes trembled slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

She glanced down at Liu Bei's hand. His long fingers were held by hers, and she felt a warm touch. She lowered her head, pursed her lips, and finally nodded slightly.

The three of them walked in side by side, and the snowflakes gradually brought silence to the courtyard.

"Come here, serve the wine!"

The servant who had been prepared immediately brought the wine tray, then took the pickled meat handed to him by Zhang Fei and went down to process the meat.

Guan Yu stood up straight and spoke first: "My surname is Guan Yu, my courtesy name is Yunchang, and I am from Xieliang in Hedong."

"I am Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide."

"My name is Liu Bei, also known as Liu Xuande."

"Come on, come on, it's time to drink in the winter! I'll give you enough!"

After the three of them had made their formal introductions, Zhang Fei smiled and filled a large bowl for Guan Yu and Liu Bei respectively. Then he raised his glass and said, "Let us drink this cup together for our meeting today."

"please."

"Hurry up and take a seat."

After Liu Bei sat down, Zhang Fei, who was sitting at the main seat, was the first to speak: "I was recently invited by Xuande, so I came to visit you. I wonder what advice you may have?"

Guan Yu also nodded slightly.

After she left Hedongrun, before she had time to decide which way to go, she received an invitation letter from Liu Bei, saying that he wanted to come to Zhuo County to discuss important matters.

In fact, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were not casual people. Without any reason, they would not bother to pay attention to this type of invitation, but for some reason, after seeing the words "signed by Liu Bei Liu Xuande", they agreed inexplicably.

"Hey, I see you two are not ordinary people..." Liu Bei said, and suddenly golden patterns appeared in his pupils. "I wonder if you can recognize this thing?"

"..."

"Oh?"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei opened their eyes wide at the same time, and subconsciously said together: "Fragments of the Heavenly Dao?"
