In Zhuo County, they had just received the latest news. After Cheng Zhiyuan learned that Deng Mao had been completely wiped out, the army had rushed all the way. They estimated that they would reach Zhuo County in two days.
The soldiers in the city were all preparing for the war. Even Big Ear Liu, who always liked to bluff, had moved out of the prefect's mansion to live in the military camp and trained his soldiers every day.
After all, they had wasted such a good opportunity last time. This time, the three of them were going to do their best.
At this moment, Zou Jing ran to the prefect's manor.
"Brother, the blacksmith shop has sent someone to inform you to retrieve your weapon.”
As Zou Jing spoke, his eyes scanned the room. He was worried about the money. That was a hundred gold.
Originally, Lin Chuan had won a great battle. As long as he reported it to the imperial court, he would naturally be rewarded. However, he was stopped by Lin Chuan.
As the prefect's manor was actively preparing for war, Liu Yan had also invested all his money into military supplies. Now, he did not even have ten gold coins, let alone a hundred gold coins.
"Is that so? I'll go and see if it's suitable.”
Lin Chuan didn't even think about that and was about to leave, leaving Zou Jing alone in the wind.
No, did you forget about the fee? I have to remind him that Zou Jing chased after him. When he opened the door of the government office, he happened to meet the servants of the Zhen family.
"Young Master Lin, I've finally found you. This 1,000 gold was ordered by our Zhen family's head to be brought here. He said it was to express his gratitude for young master's bravery in killing the Yellow Turban bandits.”
As he spoke, he took out a large box of gold.
"Help me thank your patriarch."
Lin Chuan had already guessed that a businessman like Zhen Yi would not let go of such a promising stock. One thousand gold was already considered generous.
"Our master also asked me to tell young master that if you need money in the future, you can ask someone to come. I only hope that young master has the time to visit Zhen family again.”
"Definitely, definitely."
Lin Chuan was not a humble person. After giving Pei Yuanqing a look, he carried the box of gold and strode towards the blacksmith shop.
He didn't know that Zhen Yi wanted him to go to the Zhen Family not only for cooperation, but also for Zhen Jiang's marriage and the Zhen Family's future.
On the way, Lin Chuan pretended to be profound and said to Zou Jing,"
"How is it? Did I say that someone would send money? Are you afraid that I won't have money to pay?"
"Hiss…I've really seen a ghost. A big family like the Zhen family has always looked up to the sky, so why would they be so generous to you?”
Zou Jing stroked his chin with a face full of suspicion. He still remembered that when the Yellow Turbans exploded, Liu Yan had sent him to the Zhen family to ask for some money to build military supplies. However, he had only received a mere hundred gold. It was purely to send him off.
"That depends on the person. If he doesn't invest in a person with unlimited potential like me, who should he invest in?”
Lin Chuan looked satisfied. He would not have to worry about military supplies in the future.
"Yes, not only is my martial arts unparalleled, but my narcissism is also rare in the world.”
Zou Jing joked, but he agreed with Lin Chuan's words. How could a person who could make the Zhen family invest so much be an ordinary person?
Soon, the three of them arrived at the blacksmith shop. The boss had already placed the halberd. Pei Yuanqing gave the boss a hundred gold coins.
"Young Master Lin, you are our Zhuo County's great benefactor, so I will only charge you the cost price of 80 gold.
Although this halberd is ordinary in appearance, I used the best quality steel, black steel, and meteorite steel to forge it. It weighs 300 jin and is extremely sharp, cutting through iron like mud.”
"Oh, thank you, Boss."
Lin Chuan couldn't wait to pick up the halberd. Its weight was very suitable for his hand.
Probably because the hot blood in his body was infected by this halberd, Lin Chuan couldn't help but dance.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The halberd in Lin Chuan's hand was sometimes as agile as a snake, sometimes as heavy as a tiger, as if it was born for him.
"Brother's halberd technique has reached the acme of perfection, it has truly broadened my horizons.”
Zou Jing was completely stunned by Lin Chuan's warm-up. One had to know that Lin Chuan's Xiangyu Fighting Soul used a halberd, so he was no stranger to halberds.
Even Pei Yuanqing was surprised. He had always known that Lin Chuan's strength was definitely above his, but he didn't expect that his halberd technique would be so unpredictable. Even he couldn't defeat such exquisite halberd technique.
"Heavenly Dragon City Breaking Halberd! From now on, this will be your name!”
Lin Chuan stroked the halberd in his hand. That's right, it was the name of the weapon Xiang Yu used in the past. Only such a domineering name was worthy of Lin Chuan.
……
At this moment, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were training day and night.
Needless to say, the 500 peasant soldiers that they brought with them were now quite decent. Other than having no actual combat experience, they were the cream of the crop in terms of combat skills.
In fact, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both good at training soldiers, especially Guan Yu. He had a 94-point commander, so he wasn't just for show.
The three of them were exhausted from their training, so they sat at the side and drank a few cups of wine. After resting for a while, they were about to get up when Guan Yu's gaze was attracted by something far away.
"What's wrong, Second Brother?"
Liu Bei followed his gaze in confusion.
"Big brother, look at that youth. The white horse he's riding is obviously of the highest grade.”
In the distance, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth was riding a white horse with a silver spear in his hand. His eyes were like torches, and although he was wearing cotton clothes, he was in high spirits as he headed towards Zhuo County City.
"Moreover, the horse is so bumpy, but his arm holding the spear is so steady. One look and you can tell that this person is an expert with the spear.”
Guan Yu rarely praised others, but when he saw the youth in front of him, he couldn't help but praise him.
"Since even second brother has said so, then why don't we go up and get to know each other? Perhaps we can really take in a fierce general.”
After listening to Guan Yu's words, Liu Bei almost drooled. Now was the time to use people. Guan Yu was skilled in martial arts, so he could not be wrong in judging people.
The three of them mounted their horses and rushed forward, blocking the youth.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?”
The young man raised his spear and looked at Liu Guan Zhang and the other two warily without any fear.
"Young hero, don't be nervous. I am Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. These two are my younger brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
I see that you have a heroic spirit between your eyebrows, so I came to get to know you. I wonder if you would like to come to my camp for a chat?”
Liu Bei had almost worn out the reputation of being a member of the royal family, but in reality, this was the most effective.
Hearing Liu Bei's words, the youth relaxed a lot. He looked at Zhuo County City in front of him and thought for a while before bowing,"
"Greetings, Duke Xuande. Since you have already arrived in Zhuo County, I am not in a hurry.”
(Brothers, the flowers are only 1000. I beg you to give me a wave of flowers to stimulate me. Thank you, big shots.)）
