The sun was already setting in the west. The three of them had been chatting for nearly two hours. During this time, Little San had truly felt the "charm" emitted by this legendary "benevolent" general. It was not because Liu Bei was handsome. On the contrary, he, who was not outstanding in appearance, could win the hearts of others more than other handsome men. This was because whether it was his words or his expression, he gave people a very warm feeling. This was what Little San felt the most. Considering his status, he was just a servant. However, when he said something, General Liu always smiled and listened to him. How could he not be moved by this?
Just as Liu Bei and the " mistress " were chatting happily, they saw Zhang Fei carrying a body full of prey and laughing as he walked over. Looking at the big and small game, there were a total of seven or eight of them. Presumably, Zhang Fei would definitely win this competition! One had to know that this was only because Zhang Fei's strength was not small. Even if his strength was small, he might not be able to retrieve so many prey.
Walking up to him, Zhang Fei threw away the deer that was half the size of a goat in his right hand and took off the pheasants and rabbits on his back. He shook his shoulders and laughed,"Brothers, I'm back. That kid hasn't returned yet?"
Looking at Zhang Fei's tattered clothes, Liu Bei shook his head in amusement, answering Zhang Fei's question. Then, he opened his mouth and said,"You! Didn't I say that you're so serious with a youth? Tearing off his clothes and tying up his prey? What is this?"
Hearing his big brother's rebuke, Zhang Fei chuckled and didn't mind at all, saying: "Big brother, how can we not be serious about this agreed upon competition? Haha! Didn't you always admonish me to pay more attention to everything?”
Liu Bei did not know what to say after hearing Zhang Fei's rebuttal. He could only shake his head helplessly.
Seeing that his big brother was not saying anything, Zhang Fei was about to say something to his second brother Guan Yu, but he saw that the latter was not in high spirits. He could not help but feel very puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly heard a loud laugh,"The warrior is back? I've been sleeping for half a day. I'm so anxious!”
As they spoke, Liu Bei and the others hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound. At this moment, they saw Han Gang coming from a tall tree not far away. His figure was revealed as he walked over. As he walked, he yawned. Looking at his lazy appearance, how could he be serious about this competition?
Looking at the two wild rabbits in Han Gang's hands and the clean clothes on Han Gang's body, could it be that he was already prepared to admit defeat? Or did he not care about the outcome at all?
At this moment, Guan Yu was a little disappointed. With such a lazy personality, how could the youth seek wealth in this chaotic world? Could it be that he wanted his only daughter to follow such a young man who had no desire to win? Although he was very unwilling, what could he do if his big brother kept doing this? Since ancient times, Guan Yu knew that the elder brother was like a father. Not only that, he valued this even more. Otherwise, he wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles alone. He had to go through five trials, kill six generals, and painstakingly search for traces of his big brother.
Just as Guan Yu was changing his thoughts, Han Gang had already walked up to him and smiled at Zhang Fei."Just now, the two of us had already agreed that whoever has more prey will win. Now, please count!”
Looking at Han Gang, who was still smiling, Liu Bei and the others could not help but feel very puzzled. Even Little Three was confused." Could it be that he was already prepared to admit defeat?”
Just as everyone was still in a daze, Han Gang suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He slapped his forehead and took out a sparrow from his waist. He asked softly,"Just now, I suddenly had the urge to play and shot a sparrow to death. Is this considered hunting prey?”
This action made Liu and Guan shiver. How big was a sparrow? Moreover, birds were the hardest to hit. In ancient times, there were people who raised their bows to shoot condors, but no one had ever heard of anyone who could shoot sparrows. Even if the other party used a relatively accurate crossbow, not just anyone could do it!
Liu and Guan did not speak, but Zhang Fei hurriedly asked,""Even if these sparrows are among the prey, you only have three of them. Don't tell me you don't plan on winning?”
Han Gang didn't care about the second half of Zhang Fei's question. Instead, he asked with a strange smile,"Such a small sparrow is considered prey?”
Seeing Han Gang's expression, everyone knew that he was about to explode. Liu Bei had a 'good show' expression on his face as he smiled and replied on behalf of Zhang Fei,"Why not? Since it's a wild animal that you've hunted, it should be considered as prey. There's no difference in size. Your previous agreement was about the number of prey, not the size.”
At this moment, Guan Yu's disappointment had been swept away. With a face full of interest, he quietly watched Han Gang's plan.
Han Gang smiled when he saw everyone's expressions. He once again extended his hand into his bosom. This action caused everyone to feel puzzled. His bosom was indeed bulging. However, when they saw the distinct and prominent shape, everyone had subconsciously thought that it was an exquisite crossbow. Now, following Han Gang's actions, everyone discovered that although this appearance was indeed that of a crossbow, the bulge was a little too high. Could it be that there was really some mystery behind it?
After Han Gang took out the things in his arms, Liu and Guan looked at them and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Zhang Fei's face was filled with anger but he had no way to vent it. Looking at the face of the 'little three', it was already completely tangled together.
This was because what was in Han Gang's hand at this moment was nothing else but a small bird's nest. There were more than a dozen young birds that had just broken out of their eggshells not long ago.
Thinking about the current season, it was the season for birds to reproduce. This kind of bird nest could be seen everywhere, so it was not very strange. However, who would have thought that Han Gang would use him to design Zhang Fei, who had a rough personality?
Everyone laughed for a good 15 minutes before they gradually stopped, leaving behind a depressed Zhang Fei who looked at Han Gang with a " you're cheating " look. However, this legendary unreasonable man did not say anything. The two of them had already agreed that whoever had the most prey would win. Although Zhang Fei sensed that there was something wrong with his words, he did not react on the spot. It was inevitable that he would lose his status if he said anything now.
Liu Bei laughed and said,""Young man, you're so scheming! Thinking of my third brother, although he is reckless, he is a rare fierce general on the battlefield. Now that you have won like this, you can also be praised by the world in the future, haha!”
At this moment, the "mistress" also walked up to Han Gang. Just as he was about to introduce himself, he was interrupted by Han Gang with a smile. Han Gang respectfully said,"Greetings, Imperial Uncle Liu. Please forgive me for my rudeness just now.”
Han Gang's words stunned Liu Bei. He quickly asked,""Little brother, how come you didn't listen to the introduction, and you've already revealed my identity?”
The moment Liu Bei spoke, Han Gang had a look of anticipation on his face as he replied without hesitation,""Could it be that Imperial Uncle has forgotten what I said just now? I have been sleeping behind the tree for half a day? Imperial uncle and my third brother are chatting happily. It's inevitable that this kid will hear them.”
In fact, even if Han Gang did not listen, he knew about Liu Bei. However, he could not say it out loud. He could only use this excuse to say it. Moreover, it was indeed so. Being behind the big tree, it was not strange to hear the conversation.
However, when Liu Bei heard this, he felt a chill in his heart. He thought that his alertness was not low, so how could this youth in front of him hide behind that tree and not know? Previously, he thought that the youth was just trying to provoke his third brother. Now that the other party had confirmed the authenticity of what he said, Liu Bei didn't know what to say.
" Crouching Dragon's disciple is indeed extraordinary," Liu Bei thought to himself as he smiled at his second brother Guan Yu, who was also shocked."Alright, now that the competition is over, what should we do with so many prey? Why don't we find a place to cook and have a good drink? What do you think?"
After recovering from his shock, Guan Yu quickly turned around to look at the place where he had discussed Guan Feng's marriage with Liu Bei. After realizing that the place was very far away from the big tree where Han Gang was, he turned around and replied with relief,"Alright."
One had to know that with Guan Yu's arrogant personality, if the person involved heard about his daughter's marriage, he would probably commit suicide. He could not afford to lose face.
Big Brother and Second Brother both spoke, and Zhang Fei couldn't help but agree,""Alright, alright! Let's find a place to drink! We're not in a hurry to go back anyway."
According to Zhang Fei's thoughts," It doesn't matter who wins or loses in this competition, as long as there's wine to drink." As for losing to a youth, he didn't care. When he was this age, he had even killed people, let alone others. He just felt that Han Gang's victory was not too fair.
Since the other party had already spoken, Han Gang did not delay and hurriedly replied with a smile,"Not far away is the thatched cottage where my master lives. Now that master has traveled far away, there are only me and the three brothers at home. This time, we came out to hunt and prepare to drink a little. Now that we have guests visiting, let's entertain the three warriors at home! Besides…"
Halfway through Han Gang's words, he stopped and turned around with a smile. He said to the 'little sister',"Third brother, go buy some wine. I'll bring the guests back first.”
Just as the "mistress" was about to nod, he heard Zhang Fei say loudly,"How can he take it alone? Why don't I, Old Zhang, go with him!"
Hearing Zhang Fei's words, everyone smiled knowingly. This Zhang Fei was definitely afraid that the "mistress" would not be able to buy too much wine. If there was not enough for him to drink, wouldn't he be depressed?
Liu Bei also reacted quickly. He quickly reached into his clothes and took out a silver ingot. He ordered Zhang Fei,"If you don't have enough money, call that 'little San' brother. Come back to get it. We'll go first."
These words were quite knowledgeable. One ingot of silver was not a string of money. According to the current prices in Jingzhou, it was enough to buy twenty jars of wine. Although everyone was good at wine, how could they drink twenty jars of wine?
Without waiting for Zhang Fei's reply, he smiled and followed Han Gang with Guan Yu, walking towards the thatched cottage.
The three of them chatted as they walked. Liu Bei smiled and asked,"I wonder what little brother didn't say just now? Can you explain?"
When Han Gang heard Liu Bei's question, he did not hide it and replied with a smile,""If Imperial Uncle doesn't see my master, how can he stop this trip to the thatched cottage? What I wanted to say just now was to show Imperial Uncle the way.”
Liu Bei seemed to have known that the young man in front of him had guessed something, so he did not hide his words. Instead, he began to chat with admiration.
As for Guan Yu, who was following behind him, the look of satisfaction in his eyes grew stronger. Although he couldn't say that Guan Yu approved of Han Gang being his son-in-law, at least he had a very good impression of him.
