"May I ask your name?" Guan Yu hesitated for a moment before asking.
Until now, he still didn't know who he had lost to, nor did he know the name of the person who had defeated him…
It was a little sad to say that a young man who was unknown in Lu Bu's army had actually defeated him, one of the two super generals…
Guan Yu knew most of the high-ranking generals in Lu Bu's army. If this young man had an extraordinary status in Lu Bu's army, he would definitely recognize him…The only possibility was that this young man did not have a high status in Lu Bu's army.
No…wait! He seemed to have neglected someone…
Lu Bu's newly promoted vice commander…Mu Qing!
Although Mu Qing hadn't made a name for himself in this chaotic world, he was now one of the high-ranking generals of Lu Bu's army. How could he have forgotten about him?
He shifted his gaze to Mu Qing and thought,""Could it be…"
"Mu Qing, remember this name. It will become a nightmare for your Shu army.”Just as Guan Yu was looking at Mu Qing suspiciously, Mu Qing's words confirmed Guan Yu's guess.
The person who defeated Guan Yu! It was Mu Qing! It was Mu Qing! Guan Ping and Guan Yinping's savior!
After a long silence, Guan Yu left with his 3,000 soldiers, leaving behind 3,000 warhorses.
" They're finally gone…" Mu Qing let out a sigh of relief as he watched Guan Yu and the three thousand soldiers of the Shu Army disappear from Yueling City. Before Arilla rushed back to Yueling City, he did not have the strength to fight Guan Yu head-on. Even if he and Raven joined forces, they would not be a match for Guan Yu.
…………
Not long after, the 15,000-strong Mu Qing army led by Arilia returned to Yueling City and joined forces with Mu Qing.
In the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Aria personally reported the results of the battle to Mu Qing.
" In this battle, we have invested a total of 20,000 troops, 89 casualties, and…8,000 enemies. We have captured 3,000 people, including Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Suo, and Guan Yinping."
"Arilia, you did well in this battle. You didn't disappoint me.”Mu Qing was not stingy with his praise.
Arilia was undoubtedly one of the greatest heroes in defeating Guan Yu's army. It seemed that handing over the 15,000-strong main force to Arilla was the right choice.
" Hmph, what's so great about it? If I lead the 15,000-strong main force, I can also annihilate Guan Yu's army..." Rui Mengmeng pouted and said with jealousy.
Raven was extremely dissatisfied that Mu Qing only praised Arilla despite her contribution.
Mengmeng was unhappy, Mengmeng was feeling a little emotional…
"I admit that." Mu Qing said seriously.
If Raven led the 15,000-strong main force, they would be able to annihilate Guan Yu's army led by Guan Ping.
"That's right. You're not that great. I can do it.”She nodded vigorously. After getting Mu Qing's affirmation, Raven's mood immediately improved.
"If you lead them, you can definitely annihilate Guan Yu's army. However, the casualties of our main force would probably exceed half, right?”Mu Qing looked at Rui Mengmeng with interest.
This girl, she was still panting after a few words of praise.
"You…"
Hearing Mu Qing's first sentence, Raven thought that Mu Qing was praising her, but after hearing Mu Qing's second sentence, she realized that Mu Qing was really insulting her...
Rui Mengmeng sat in a corner angrily. She was sulking alone. From time to time, she would peek at Mu Qing from the corner of her eyes. No one knew what she was mumbling.
"Young master, how should we deal with the four Guan siblings?”Arilla asked.
"Where are these four siblings imprisoned?”Mu Qing asked instead of answering Arilla's question.
"Prison."
"Bring them to me." Mu Qing instructed.
Mu Qing was not a person who went back on his word. Since he had promised Guan Yu, he would naturally let Guan Ping and the others go.
Soon, the Guan siblings were escorted into the meeting hall.
"Mu Qing! " It's really you…I should have known, I should have known…" Guan Ping laughed self-deprecatingly. Ever since he saw Arilla, he had guessed that this matter had something to do with Mu Qing. Now it seemed like…he was right.
Guan Yinping lowered her head, not daring to look at Mu Qing. She didn't want Mu Qing to see her in such a sorry state.
"What do you have to say?" Mu Qing looked at the four of them and said.
"Since you're already a prisoner, you can kill me or cut me up.”Guan Ping snorted coldly. Although he was a prisoner, he still had his backbone as the son of a Martial Saint.
"I want to kill you! As you wish!" Guan Xing and Guan Suo said in unison.
" I only hope that you won't use the lives of my siblings to threaten my father…" Guan Yinping's tears continued to fall, but she still didn't dare to look up at Mu Qing. She didn't know how she should face Mu Qing at this moment.
" Let's go..." Mu Qing waved his hand and motioned for the four of them to leave.
"Hmm?" The four of them did not understand what Mu Qing meant.
"What's wrong? I let you go, but you're still unwilling to leave?”Mu Qing was a little impatient.
"Let us go?" This time, the three Guan brothers and Guan Yinping were dumbfounded. Mu Qing actually wanted to…release them?
"This is what I promised your father, Guan Yu, so I naturally can't go back on my word. For this, your father paid the price of three thousand warhorses. Let's go, leave Yueling City and return to your Shu City.”Mu Qing waved his hand again and spoke to the four of them in a tone that was almost driving them away.
The Guan siblings looked at each other, still a little confused…
"Let's go!" Guan Ping winked at Guan Xing, Guan Suo, and Guan Yinping, then left the meeting hall first. No matter what, he had to leave this High Mountain City first.
" Um, thank you…" Guan Yinping stood up and finally mustered up her courage. She looked at Mu Qing, but when her eyes met Mu Qing's, she became a little nervous.
"Why are you thanking me? It has nothing to do with me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you go if your father had offered three thousand warhorses in exchange.”Mu Qing smiled.
"Go. The next time we meet, we will still be enemies.”
" I don't want to be your enemy…" Guan Yinping was a little sad. She really didn't want to be Mu Qing's enemy, not only because Mu Qing was her savior, but also for other reasons…
"I know, but there are some things that we can't decide. This is fate. You are Liu Bei's man, I am Lu Bu's man. We…can only be enemies.”Mu Qing sighed.
