The air was filled with gunpowder, and the temperature was a bit low.
The light from the crescent full moon on the horizon was just bright enough to let people see the things around them.
Zhang Fei heard quarreling noises from outside his house, so he got up.
He finally had some rare peaceful and quiet days. He also had a few good night’s sleep, and the meals also felt more delicious. However, these comfortable days were disturbed again.
He was very unhappy, and he held the wooden stick again.
Zhang Fei walked out and roared: “You all, don’t run wild here. My condition is already fixed. Unless the mission is completed, I’ll not leave!”
Liu Bei greeted Zhang Fei and said: “Brother Zhang Fei, don’t get angry, we were just discussing something. We’ll retire for the night in a little while.”
Zhang Fei nodded his head and said ‘Okay’, then turned around and left.
At that moment, Shi Hao yelled: “Wait a moment!” He then calmly stepped forward and said: “Brother Zhang Fei, don’t you wish to see the Peach Garden?”
Zhang Fei was dumbfounded. Liu Bei was startled. And both of them exclaimed: “Where?”
Shi Hao smiled and said: “Here.”
Liu Bei stroked his long hair and looked around: “Where?” He couldn’t see anything: “Where is the Peach Garden?”
Zhang Fei was furious and he berated: “You, do you want to deceive me? I’m not a blind man. There is not a single peach tree here, and also no peach blossom.” His words were filled with anger. He even had the thoughts of running over and starting a fight, swearing to teach Shake the Heaven a lesson.
However, Pei Yuanqing, who was also confused, was clear about his own responsibilities. He protected Shi Hao with his own body, and he didn’t lose his focus, so that the others wouldn’t dare to make a move.
Not far away, in the darkness, there was a tall figure riding a war horse. He held a lance, secretly waiting for a chance for an ambush.
Shi Hao smiled again and said: “Peach Garden has always been here, merely, you can’t see it.”
Zhang Fei refuted: “I can’t seem to see it, and this big-eared fellow also can’t see it, why can only you see it?”
Shi Hao pointed at the ground with his right hand and said: “Peach Garden is a flourishing age, a flourishing age is Peach Garden. There is no Peach Garden here, only because it’s bleak and desolate here. Therefore, you can’t see it. However, in a flourishing and beautiful place, Peach Garden comforts people’s heart, oriole’s songs ease the ears, there is flourishing Peach Garden.”
Liu Bei’s eyes became clear. He then raised his right hand, took three steps back and asked: “According to people’s heart, we should build a flourishing land here?”
Shi Hao nodded his head and took out a Village Building Order.
Zhang Fei shouted: “How can just a Village Building Order be enough? How do I know that the village you built will certainly become a flourishing Peach Garden? No, don’t even think about fooling me.”
Shi Hao gave the Village Building Order to Zhang Fei and said: “But if you take the responsibility for this village, can’t you be at ease?”
Zhang Fei placed the wooden stick in his hand to one side, and repeatedly inspected the Village Building Order. He then hit his own head and said: “Like this, I can believe you.”
Liu Bei sighed, “since it’s not my fate, it’s useless to ask,’ and waved his hand.
That black figure in the distance was Guan Yu.
He said: “Brother, as matters stand, should I attack?”
Liu Bei shook his head and said: “Brother Zhang Fei has already recognized the master, we two must not insist on it.”
Guan Yu was unwilling to concede. He was ambitious and proud. He didn’t care about anything and rushed towards Shake the Heaven first, wanting to slay the other party in one move.
Pei Yuanqing had been on guard for a long time, standing in front of Shi Hao. “Don’t be insolent.”
Guan Yu sneered: “Humph!” The war horse under him soared and rushed over at great speed. This speed was definitely not ordinary. Pei Yuanqing was taken by surprise. He lost Guan Yu’s exact position, and he was forced to desperately protect Shi Hao to avoid Guan Yu’s broadsword directly hitting Shi Hao.
Guan Yu flashed to the left side of Pei Yuanqing, sneered again, ‘ignorant rats’, and swung his sword.
Pei Yuanqing’s skills weren’t ordinary. Although Guan Yu’s sudden acceleration had caught him by surprise, he also wasn’t confused. He immediately came back to his senses and fought back. But that sword hit Pei Yuanqing. Guan Yu then rode away, looked at the moon in the sky, took a deep breath and said: “Guan’s certain hit sword has never lost. You just relied on the toughness of your armor, Guan certainly didn’t lose.”
Pei Yuanqing still had a lingering fear. From that sword, he could sense that Guan Yu’s sword attack was not only very fast, but the strength behind it was also not weak. If they had the same-leveled equipment, then although Pei Yuanqing could still protect himself, he wouldn’t be able to protect Shi Hao beside him.
One had to say that, even with Shi Hao’s double buffs of Shadow Dragon Soul and Soul of the Warrior, without the equipment advantage, he wouldn’t be able to stop Guan Yu’s sword.
However, Shi Hao nodded his head and said: “The might of Guan Yunchang’s sword is known to everybody under heaven. Merely, I wonder if Yunchang’s sword would last forever?”
Guan Yu coldly snorted and said: “If it were not for relying on external things, my sword would be enough to take your head.”
Zhang Fei jumped out and yelled: “I never thought that you would have such an ability after riding a horse. Come, let’s fight again. I don’t have any treasure on my body. I just have my physical skill. Let’s see who can win. What, are you afraid?”
Guan Yu took a deep breath and sighed: “This Guan will fulfill your wish.”
After speaking, he used his full speed and flashed past people. He instantly arrived behind Zang Fei and swung his sword without any advance warning.
Zhang Fei’s blood splattered, but he was still full of vitality, and shouted: “Just this, you have an undeserved reputation.” He then turned around suddenly and swung his wooden stick. This hit directly reduced Guan Yu’s HP by half, which shocked Guan Yu so much that he nearly fell down. He had to flee to one side to make a plan again.
Guan Yu’s eyes were filled with seriousness as he asked: “What cheap trick did you use? You actually took my sword without relying on any external items and just suffered light injuries!”
Zhang Fei laughed: “I’m born a match for ten thousand enemies. Not to mention one-on-one, even if you have thousands upon thousands of troops, if I insist on taking your dog life, then it’s a very easy matter.”
Guan Yu was displeased and coldly said: “Keep bragging, and eat my sword again.”
Upon seeing this, Liu Bei shouted: “Second Brother, don’t be impulsive, quickly return.”
Guan Yu’s eyes flickered a few times and then, he returned to Liu Bei’s side. He still had an arrogant look, as if he believed that he didn’t lose to Zhang Fei and Pei Yuanqing.
Liu Bei then cupped his hands and said: “Since Your Excellency has already gotten the allegiance of Brother Zhang Fei, we two will leave first. I hope Your Excellency will take the destiny of your country as your own responsibility.”
When Liu Bei was about to leave, Shi Hao said: “Wait a moment, I want to discuss something with you.”
Immediately afterward, Shi Hao took Liu Bei to the front of Zhang Fei and said something. Liu Bei was very pleased and hastily called Guan Yu over. Shi Hao also called Pei Yuanqing to his side.
Not long after, in the originally dilapidated field, marvelous lights burst out from the ground, rising into the sky and burst into blood, illuminating the dim starry sky.
