Night fell, and in the bleak and desolate countryside, the temperature was a bit low.
Shi Hao didn’t sleep that night. He took Pei Yuanqing to sneak outside Zhang Fei’s house. Liu Bei and Guan Yu had struggled for a long time in the daytime, but they were helpless against Zhang Fei. Now, they had left for the time being. It could be estimated that they wouldn’t return until dawn to continue the recruitment task.
Pei Yuanqing knocked on the door and yelled: “Is anyone inside?”
After he knocked for a while, the door burst open with a ‘bang’, and a burly figure suddenly appeared. Pei Yuanqing was caught off guard and Zhang Fei’s wooden stick hit his head. However, Pei Yuanqing was Pei Yuanqing. He was unscathed, and he just smiled.
Pei Yuanqing then said with a smile: “Uncle, you are truly angry…”
Zhang Fei was taken aback, and after a few more rounds, he discovered that this fair kid still looked fine.
Therefore, Zhang Fei directly threw away his wooden stick and directly used his body. He stepped forward and used a lock skill, planning to choke Pei Yuanqing and press him to the ground. Even if your defense is high, and I cannot beat you, I can still keep you under my control. This was Zhang Fei’s thought.
Pei Yuanqing, however, just smiled. In terms of skill, Pei Yuanqing had also never been afraid of anyone.
Thus, Zhang Fei and Pei Yuanqing wrestled together. Under the dim moonlight, Shi Hao vaguely saw two people’s figures, fighting from outside to inside the house, and inside to outside the house. In the end, they arrived at the open field and rolled a few laps around it.
Finally, Zhang Fei and Pei Yuanqing stopped just before dawn and the sky was slightly bright.
The two of them were soaked with sweat and backed away from each other.
Zhang Fei asked: “What is your name?” His eyes were filled with excitement. He had never played so happily against anyone before.
Pei Yuanqing replied: “I’m Cui Yuanqing.”
Zhang Fei nodded his head and said ‘Brother Yuanqing’. He then stepped forward and patted Pei Yuanqing’s shoulder, looking very enthusiastic.
Zhang Fei understood that, in terms of skill, His brother ‘Yuanqing’, was not inferior to him, might even be a bit better. As for the actual combat, his brother ‘Yuanqing’ had such astonishing defense power, and his attack power was also quite outstanding. He was absolutely a dragon among men. Zhang Fei felt ashamed of his inferiority. Honestly speaking, in the fight just now, if Pei Yuanqing had the heart to kill him, then he might have already become a corpse.
At this moment, Shi Hao walked out and said: “Brother Zhang Fei, why don’t you go back with me, and have three hundred rounds of drinks?”
Zhang Fei patted his head, looked at Pei Yuanqing and said: “Okay! I can go with you, merely, if you want me to pledge allegiance to you and work under you, then that’s not possible!” Zhang Fei seemed to insist on something. He was only willing to go to drink together, not willing to be recruited.
Shi Hao was not surprised and intentionally asked: “Why is that?”
Zhang Fei sighed, pointed at the uncultivated ground beneath him and said: “This land is handed down from my ancestors, and my ancestors have stipulated that we must wait here. Only when someone predestined by fate comes and turns this land into a flourishing peach garden, I can follow that person and leave.”
Shi Hao already knew that this was the regular recruitment mission set by the system for Zhang Fei. It didn’t seem difficult to complete this task. It was just planting trees. However, it would take a long time for the trees to grow. It would be impossible to complete this mission without spending several months in the game.
However, fortunately, Shi Hao also had no intention to complete the recruitment mission via the regular recruitment method.
Shi Hao smiled, and just when he was about to say something, two people suddenly ran over from a distance.
Looking closely, those two people were Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
Pei Yuanqing immediately stood in front of Shi Hao and asked: “Why are they here?”
Shi Hao replied: “They naturally came because they knew that I would return.”
Pei Yuanqing asked again: “Then why did they dare to leave and let us take advantage of the opening?”
Shi Hao smiled and answered: “If they don’t leave, how would he come over? And if we didn’t come, then how can they know Brother Zhang Fei’s intention?”
Pei Yuanqing nodded his head, no longer asked questions and stared at Guan Yu.
Speaking about it, although Liu Bei and Guan Yu had arrived later than expected, they had also seen Pei Yuanqing’s skills. Guan Yu, who was empty-handed, clearly knew that he was not the opponent of Pei Yuanqing, without good equipment. However, even if Guan Yu was given good equipment, he wasn’t confident that he would be able to take down Pei Yuanqing.
Guan Yu looked cold, and stood in front of Liu Bei, guarding against Pei Yuanqing’s sudden attack.
Liu Bei patted Guan Yu on the shoulder and said: “Yunchang, there is no need to do this. Shake the Heaven is so well-known, how can his subordinate use a despicable sneak attack?” It was not that Liu Bei was not afraid of Shake the Heaven ordering Pei Yuanqing to attack and capture him. Merely, in front of Zhang Fei, he had to show his bearing and courage. After all, in the matter of recruiting Zhang Fei, he had obviously fallen behind Shake the Heaven. If he didn’t do this, then he would fall behind more and more.
Guan Yu stepped aside and Pei Yuanqing also stepped aside.
Shi Hao and Liu Bei looked at each other and smiled.
Shi Hao said: “It’s already at this stage, what will you do?”
Liu Bei said: “I’m a person who cares about the world. Brother Zhang Fei is in need of my help. I hope Your Excellency will be flexible. In any case, we must not break the harmony.” Liu Bei naturally didn’t dare to break this harmony. If he truly made a move, then the one who suffered losses would only be him, Liu Bei.
Shi Hao said: “Okay! Harmony is the most important. If you don’t make a move, I’ll also not make a move.”
Liu Bei nodded in satisfaction, cupped his hands and bowed.
But Shi Hao added: “However, it’s absolutely impossible if you want me to leave just like this. Even if you are a person who cares about the world, this doesn’t mean I will let you do it.”
Liu Bei nodded his head and was even more satisfied. In his opinion, since Shake the Heaven said such words that defied world’s righteousness, Zhang Fei would be disappointed in Shake the Heaven.
Therefore, Liu Bei struck while the iron was hot and said: “Your Excellency, your words are not good! I take it upon myself for the peace of the common people! The world is the world of common people. I hope you can consider it for the world.”
Shi Hao smiled and said: “Well! I should truly consider it for the people of the world. Since that’s the case…”
Shi Hao suddenly stopped talking, waved his hand, signaling Pei Yuanqing. Then, Pei Yuanqing directly rushed towards Liu Bei.
Liu Bei exclaimed in surprise: “Your Excellency, what does this mean?” He was afraid that Shake the Heaven planned to use force and capture him and Guan Yu alive.
Guan Yu hastily stepped forward to stop Pei Yuanqing. However, for an unknown reason, although Guan Yu’s skill was extremely good, his combat stats seemed to have reduced. It was like he was no different from an ordinary knight now. Therefore, such combat power was not enough to stop Pei Yuanqing’s steps.
Soon, Pei Yuanqing arrived in front of Liu Bei…
