Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2114: Chapter 1876: Lyu Bu’s Entry Pass

Lyu Bu and Diao Chan didn’t stay long in Chang’an. Basically, after Lyu Bu met Guo Huai, knocked him down with a punch, and gave a point, Diao Chan pulled Lyu Bu away.

Although Lyu Bu didn’t quite understand why their daughter wasn’t going with them, under Diao Chan’s persuasion, he didn’t think much and prepared to return to Australia with Diao Chan.

"Hey hey hey, finally came back once, didn’t even take my daughter with me, saw so many skilled people in Chang’an, and didn’t even have a good fight, and now we’re leaving." Lyu Bu sighed as he walked, feeling very unsatisfied to leave without causing some big news.

"Husband, don’t sigh anymore. If you make a move here, dozens of Inner Qi Manifestations will come to challenge you. Although they can’t defeat you, they’ll swarm around you like before." Diao Chan patted Lyu Bu’s abdomen and chest to comfort him.

"Fine, fine, I won’t appear then. But I heard our Bingzhou old comrades were cut down again. Now I want to go cut some Hu People." Lyu Bu said with slight resentment.

"Qiling has already informed me, those Hu People who caused trouble in Bingzhou have been captured. There’s no chance they’ll continue to disrupt, Bingzhou will be stable from now on, don’t think too much." Diao Chan continued to comfort him, knowing that Lyu Bu wouldn’t be able to settle down in the Central Plains for long before wanting to stir something up.

"My old comrades were attacked, and not helping them makes me feel a bit guilty." Lyu Bu said helplessly, "I left so many people on the Bingzhou border, what are Gongzheng and Wen Yuan doing, and Hu Kongming boasting as a noted scholar of the realms..."

However, before Lyu Bu could finish his grumbling, a resolute yet excited laughter came from the side, "That’s because we went north to deal with the Northern Huns, Fengxian."

Lyu Bu was taken aback by the voice and turned immediately, discovering Gao Shun and Zhang Liao walking side by side from the alley, both looking at Lyu Bu with excitement.

Diao Chan glanced at Lyu Bu, a hint of reproach in her eyes. She knew Lyu Bu’s secret technique was unreliable. See, people found them so quickly.

"Fengxian, it really is you. Gongzheng said the Military Spirit felt it, I thought it was a joke, but it turned out to really be you." Zhang Liao rushed over excitedly.

Lyu Bu was also in a state of surprise, genuinely not expecting this. On one hand, he was confident, while on the other, he was indeed keeping a low profile. Unexpectedly, he was still discovered, but upon hearing Zhang Liao’s explanation, he basically understood the reason.

The Vanguard Camp is Lyu Bu’s trusted aide, just like the Flying Bear Army is Dong Zhuo’s. If they don’t even know where their leader is, how can they be called trusted aide?

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, just came back to see how you’re doing?" Lyu Bu said awkwardly, originally hesitating whether to go see these two guys, and unexpectedly got confronted.

"Not bad. We fought a Han and Huns battle, feeling refreshed. Fengxian, if you had joined, our victory might have been better. Many military generals have grown stronger, but still feel a bit of a gap from you." Zhang Liao replied with a smile.

"Don’t mention Qiling, mentioning it will make Fengxian kill." As Zhang Liao and Lyu Bu chatted, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun heard a voice transmission from Diao Chan inexplicably, their expressions unchanged, and they expressed understanding.

"You’re doing well, seeing you both is good enough for me. I did do many things to let you down in the past." Lyu Bu examined Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, both had excellent Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

"Let’s not talk about the past, at least after we returned to Bingzhou, we didn’t make mistakes." Zhang Liao shook his head, saying the past was past.

"What are your plans for the future? Joining Liu Xuande? To be honest, it seems good to me." Lyu Bu asked while recommending.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun both smiled at the suggestion, "We’re planning to go to the Western Regions and guard the borders for the Central Plains. When the Central Plains are unified, we’ll join the Han."

"That’s indeed a good suggestion." Lyu Bu nodded, "Let me think, oh right, take this."

As he spoke, Lyu Bu injected an Inner Qi into Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, "If you need my help, just use this Inner Qi. I estimate I can arrive in a few hours."

"Okay." Zhang Liao and Gao Shun nodded, naturally accepting Lyu Bu’s gift.

"If you encounter something really irreparable, remember to notify me." Lyu Bu said with a smile, while Diao Chan behind him also smiled broadly at the scene without stopping him. Even when Lyu Bu did something wrong in front of others, Diao Chan wouldn’t stop him.

Moreover, since the opposite parties are the likes of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, old comrades of several decades, Diao Chan wouldn’t stop him, confirming their character.

"Remember, if a master shows up, you must notify me. I’m almost bored to madness now, and my whole body feels uncomfortable. I just want to cause a big scene in Chang’an now." As Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were about to say more, Lyu Bu’s second round of voice transmission came.

Both of them smiled bitterly in their hearts, but didn’t find it wrong. Lyu Bu was indeed a battle maniac; if it weren’t for Diao Chan holding him back, who knows what kind of trouble he would have caused.

"Alright, I won’t stay long in Chang’an. In this place, I always have an impulse to let loose and fight a battle." Lyu Bu said with a hint of resentment, "Seeing you all doing well now, I’m satisfied."

"Then Fengxian, we won’t see you off. The situation in Chang’an is hard to explain now." Gao Shun, who hadn’t spoken all the while, said seeing Lyu Bu like this.

"You two are actually smarter than me, but one of you is too rigid in character, the other too flexible, unwilling to suppress me. Although you can’t beat me in a fight, if you two cooperate in commanding troops, you’re stronger than me. If you’re together, I’m at ease. Remember to notify me if anything happens." Lyu Bu said, waving his hand as he turned and left.

Soon Lyu Bu and Diao Chan disappeared into the streets of Chang’an, and Gao Shun and Zhang Liao exchanged glances, strangely envious of Lyu Bu’s current carefree state.

"Fengxian seems to be doing well now." Zhang Liao said with a smile, "Let’s go back to drill our soldiers and fully prepare the Vanguard Camp before we talk."

"Let’s go." Gao Shun nodded upon hearing this, and the two of them left through the alley while speaking.

Elsewhere, Xiahou Yuan was chasing Zhang Fei around, but it ended inconclusively. After all, Zhang Fei’s strength surpassed Xiahou Yuan’s, and if not for Zhang Fei’s courtesy, Xiahou Yuan couldn’t possibly defeat Zhang Fei, especially while chasing him in a fight.

Meanwhile, Guo Huai on this side was scared into a cold sweat, completely unaware of what kind of person he provoked. Someone rushed in and knocked him unconscious, only to hack at him hundreds of times in his dreams.

If he hadn’t felt when waking up that the moves used in the dream seemed quite familiar, Guo Huai would have dismissed the whole ordeal as just a dream.

"Ha, this must be what they call a dream bestowed by a divine being. I never thought I’d experience such a day." Guo Huai woke up, practiced the spear technique effortlessly with great vigor, and felt very satisfied.

But then he remembered the promise he made to Wang Chen, and thought about the seven-year-old daughter of the Wang Family. Extending his thought, he felt his father would beat him to death.

"I feel like my father would beat me to death. Although my performance in the Northern Frontier was good this time, I might get promoted slightly, but if I tell my father I want to marry Wang Fan, he might break my legs." Guo Huai felt inexplicably frightened.

"I better quickly find someone to direct me to a place to avoid disaster." Frightened, Guo Huai hurriedly went to Zang Ba’s place, as he was more acquainted with Zang Ba.

"Oh, General Zang went to General Hua’s place, huh." Guo Huai jogged over to Zang Ba’s, only to be told by the doorman that Zang Ba had a not-so-good news. He knew Zang Ba and Hua Xiong had a pretty good relationship, and also knew Zang Ba was on good terms with Zhang Fei.

To be precise, it seemed Zang Ba had a good relationship with most military generals under Liu Bei’s rule, just particularly close with a few.

However, Zang Ba could go to Hua Xiong without concern, but Guo Huai couldn’t possibly do that, so he had no choice but to run off somewhere else to inquire.

In fact, Guo Huai didn’t know that Zang Ba was currently discussing this matter with Hua Xiong and Guo Si. From this perspective, Zang Ba was indeed a good supervisor.

"Didn’t expect the Western Regions to have such scenes." Zang Ba raised a cup to Guo Si, completely thinking Guo Si did well in the Western Regions. As for character, back in the day Zang Ba was an official while being a bandit on Mount Tai; who doesn’t have some dark secrets?

"Honestly, I didn’t expect it either." Guo Si drank the wine in his cup and said heroically, "If you have the chance to come there, I’ll let you sit on the throne."

Zang Ba was stunned. He felt he had heard something shocking, yet looking at Guo Si’s expression found that he didn’t really seem drunk. Sitting on the throne is not something others can do casually; isn’t this nonsense?

"Xuangao, the Western Regions are different from our Central Plains. There are many nations there, with as few as ten thousand people counting as a country." Hua Xiong started showing off to Zang Ba the information he’d previously heard.

"A country with only about ten thousand people? Is this seeking death? If I went there, I’d wipe out such small nations completely within three days; it’d be a miracle if I didn’t destroy over a dozen in a year." Zang Ba clicked his tongue in wonder, showing deep disdain for the small nations in the Western Regions.

However, a few months later, when Taishi Ci returned to Ye City, boasting about his achievements in the Wa Kingdom, Zang Ba and the others realized that Central Plains-type countries were actually a minority, while the real majority were indeed those small countries with thousands to tens of thousands of people.

Of course, Zang Ba was unaware of these matters then, still deeply interested in the small nations of tens of thousands of people. After all, when boasting of military feats, saying "I fought against hundreds of thousands of troops and won" definitely doesn’t sound as thrilling as "I wiped out several countries."
