Chapter 46: The Warm Wine Has Turned Icy Cold!

  You see why, it turned out that the giant bow in Qiu Shui's hand had no arrows, and just now was just an empty draw of the bowstring. This is also why Guan Yu glared at him with anger, and the other side actually used such a trick, but he didn't think about it either, if there were arrows on the bowstring, what would his own outcome be?

  "General Hua, are you alright?" Autumn Water asked hastily as he looked at Hua Xiong who had returned to the camp. After all, Autumn Water now understood General Hua's character - a straightforward and upright military general without much guile. His dedication to martial arts was silly and naive.

  Hua Xiong felt even more ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in after hearing Qiu Shui's words. Earlier, he had suspected that his opponent was despicable and had used some shameless tactics, but it turned out that his opponent hadn't even fired a cold arrow. The sound of the bowstring earlier was just meant to let him safely retreat from the battlefield.

  Hua Xiong lowered his proud head at this time, and with a moved heart, he respectfully bowed his fist to Qiu Shui, panting heavily: "General, I'm fine. That red-faced man is indeed formidable, but next time we meet, the opponent won't be able to take me down within three hundred rounds." His words were filled with determination.

  No mistake Hua Xiong made a lot of gains this time, and what about Guan Yu? Probably got nothing, and even got into trouble!

  Guan Yu gazed at Xi Ling, the fierce tiger of Western Liang, in the enemy's formation, his eyes blazing with fury. However, he glanced down at his own warhorse, which was exhausted from the previous battle with Hua Xiong, as both of them had wielded massive and heavy greatswords. The horse was on the verge of collapse. Guan Yu glared fiercely at Xi Ling in the distance, then turned his horse around and retreated back to his camp. At this moment, he thought about his boastful words before the battle and didn't know what to do, feeling ashamed with a bright red face. Fortunately, his face was originally red, so others couldn't tell.

  Hmph! Guan Yu returned to his tent with the heavy Qinglong Yanyue sword in hand, feeling ashamed and humiliated, he walked in with his head hung low.

  "Ha! Isn't this the general who just boasted that he would take Hua Xiong's head and present it to our commander?" Yuan Shu said with a gloomy smile, facing the nobles in the tent as Guan Yu walked into the camp.

  "You!" Guan Yu was so humiliated by Yuan Shu's words that he glared at him with anger.

  Yuan Shu still didn't know whether to advance or retreat and walked over to the side, picking up the hot wine that Cao Cao had poured for Guan Yu before he went into battle.

  "Hiss! The wine in the jug is now icy cold to the bone! Tsk tsk!" Yuan Shu picked up his cup and poured it onto the ground in front of Guan Yu, and indeed the spilled wine had no warmth at all.

  Facing such humiliation, Guan Yu was furious at this time, his round and bright Danfeng eyes emitted a thread of murderous intent, as if he would explode like a wild beast at any moment, and the whole camp seemed to have cooled down due to Guan Yu's killing aura.

  "Hum! You dare to speak wildly, how dare you be so presumptuous!" At this time, seeing Yuan Shu's face turn pale from Guan Yu's astonishing killing intent, a sturdy big man holding a three-pointed double-edged knife shielded Yuan Shu behind him and glared at Guan Yu with anger.

  "Scoundrel, you've gone too far! You've insulted my Second Brother!" At this point, a black-faced man with steel needle-like whiskers could no longer endure seeing Guan Yu being ridiculed. He broke free from Liu Bei's grasp and charged out.

  Bang! Zhang Fei and Ji Ling directly exchanged a punch, both of them stumbled back two steps. Suddenly, the two men simultaneously felt each other's strength, which was surprisingly evenly matched.

  Bang! Yuan Shao slammed his hand on the table and roared: "What are you all doing? What are you all doing? With Dong Zhuo still not eliminated, do we want to fight among ourselves? Hmph!"

  Yuan Shao personally walked down, came to Guan Yu's front, stretched out his hands and patted the non-existent dust on Guan Yu's shoulders, and said: "Everyone has seen it with their own eyes, General Guan is exceptionally brave. If it weren't for the Western Liang army secretly shooting cold arrows, Hua Xiong would have been beheaded by General Guan under his horse long ago."

  Cao Cao, who was beside him, also wanted to go forward, but unfortunately Yuan Shao took a step ahead. After all, Yuan Shao was the alliance leader, and in terms of current prestige and family background, Cao Cao couldn't compare with him. So Cao Cao stopped in his tracks and stood still where he was.

  Yuan Shao understood that it was to win over Guan Yu, after all, Guan Yu's bravery had just been witnessed by everyone, and it was rare in the world. Guan Yu's bravery was not inferior to Yan Liang and Wen Chou under his account at all. After seeing Guan Yu being ridiculed by Yuan Shu when he entered the camp, Yuan Shao knew that the time for him to perform had arrived, and he hurriedly stood out to stop it, in order to win over Guan Yu. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao did not know that although Guan Yu had many shortcomings, his loyalty to Liu Bei would never change.

  "Hmph! Yuan Shu saw that Yuan Shao had lifted the siege, and knowing that things were as they were, he let out a cold snort before retreating back to his seat with Ji Ling. His eyes fixed on Guan Yu, revealing a hint of resentment - it's you, this commoner, who made me lose face today."

  It seems that Yuan Shu deeply remembered Guan Yu and would definitely retaliate against him ruthlessly when the time came.

  At this time, Liu Bei saw Yuan Shao's pull and was filled with unease in his heart. He knew that he wanted to mix up a piece of the world and still had to rely on his two sworn brothers. He hurriedly walked out, pulled Guan Yu, and said with tears in his eyes: "After you went out of the formation, I was really worried. Now that I see Yunchang return safely, I can finally feel at ease!" After finishing speaking, he also wiped away the tears from his eyes with his sleeve.

  He's indeed worthy of being Liu Bei, these tears come so easily, if put in the 21st century, he'd be an Oscar-winning actor!

  As Guan Yu saw his brother's tears, he looked at Liu Bei with deep feeling and said: "Brother, rest assured, there is no one in the world who can harm me."

  Yuan Shao saw the two men hugging each other, and suddenly knew that Guan Yu was not someone who could be bought over. He snorted coldly in his heart, but still smiled and said: "General Guan has shown off his divine might today! Come on in! Let's give General Guan a seat." Yuan Shao was simply trying to drive a wedge between the two men. If Guan Yu accepted, it would mean that he had a place of honor in the camp, while Liu Bei was still standing aside.

  Guan Yu listened and emotionally clasped his fists in gratitude: "Thank you, Lord."

  Liu Bei's face looked rather unsightly, and at this time Zhang Fei also ran to the front of Guan Yu, asking about the previous battle.

  After Yuan Shao returned to his seat, the soldiers also brought a chair over. Guan Yu saw this and quickly pulled Liu Bei saying: "Brother, please take your seat."

  At this time, Liu Bei's face suddenly changed from cloudy to clear, and his eyes were filled with tears as he nodded heavily at Guan Yu.

  Upon hearing these two brothers' words, Yuan Shao's face turned somewhat unsightly, and he said: "Yunchang is one of the world's rare tiger generals; who are you to sit together with us lords in the same tent?" Since you don't know how to show respect, then I'll make sure you have no way out.

  "My family's elder brother is a descendant of Liu Sheng, the son of Emperor Jing of Han and King Jing of Zhongshan. How can he not sit in this position?" Zhang Fei roared back at the nobles in the camp after hearing Yuan Shao's words.

  "Ah! How can this guy's mouth be so loud?! After Zhang Fei let out a roar, everyone in the camp stretched out their hands to cover their ears. The sound was too loud, like thunder exploding beside one's ear. Liu Bei, who stood next to Zhang Fei, couldn't bear it and looked stunned."

  Cao Cao whispered to Yuan Shao at this time: "Ben Chu, now the matter is serious." At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart, even if you want to deal with people, don't be so blatant.

  Yuan Shao rubbed his sore ear and said, "Since you are a member of the imperial family, let's sit down." But first, let's deal with the battle at hand. Later, even if you are a member of the imperial family, won't you still have to obey my orders? Hmph!

  Liu Bei hastily pulled back Zhang Fei, who was furious, and stepped forward to bow to Yuan Shao: "Thank you, Alliance Lord." Although his face was full of gratitude, the hand in his other sleeve was clenched tightly, it seemed that Liu Bei's heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

  "Hmph! Zhang Fei let out a cold snort under Liu Bei's persuasion, and returned to stand behind him without saying another word. However, his gaze still burned with anger."

  Liu Bei was also helpless, as all the others present were warlords of various regions, leading armies of over 10,000 soldiers, while he... was only brought along by Gongsun Zan because they shared a master-disciple relationship.

  "On the other hand, Autumn Water turned his head to Lü Bu and said: 'I'll go challenge first, Fengxian is ready, later on all the brave generals under the eighteen vassals will gather together. At that time, I alone can't hold them back.' After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Lü Bu's response, patted his war horse, and Red Hare let out a loud whinny, suddenly rushing onto the battlefield."

  It can be seen that the name of the horse, Chi Wind Red Hare, is as fast as lightning. Not only is it a thousand-mile horse, but its red hare horse itself is most adept at explosive power. The horse's body is full of explosive and strong muscles, making it like a Schwarzenegger among horses.

  Lü Bu was about to retort, but Qiu Shui didn't give him a chance and rushed out. As the commander-in-chief today, Lü Bu had no choice but to follow his orders.

  Lü Bu also knew in his heart that among the vassals, there were many fierce generals, and at this time, one after another came out. If they encountered this chariot battle, if all the fierce generals that Qiu Shui mentioned yesterday came out, Lü Bu would really not be able to withstand it. It wasn't that his martial arts were inferior to others, but rather that his physical strength was far too weak. At that time, wouldn't he become a stepping stone for others? Therefore, after seeing Qiu Shui rush out, Lü Bu didn't have any anger in his heart. He also deeply knew that if he fought against Qiu Shui, he had to end the battle quickly. If not, even if the Overlord Xiang Yu were to be reborn, it would still be difficult for him to withstand.

  "General Hua, hurry up and recover your strength! There will be a fierce battle soon!" Lü Bu's eyes were fixed tightly on the battlefield as he gazed at Qiu Shui and said to Hua Xiong with a serious tone.

  Hua Xiong nodded in agreement after hearing Lü Bu's words, having already seen Guan Yu, who was mentioned by Autumn Water, and there would be more powerful generals whose martial arts were not inferior to his. Hua Xiong quickly grasped his breath to recover his strength in time, but his eyes were filled with fierce flames as he stared at Autumn Water, who was showing off his prowess on the battlefield.

  Qiu Shui rode his Jiaofeng Chitu Ma to the center of the battlefield, holding a halberd in one hand and raising it high. He pointed at the tents of the vassals and shouted with an icy face: "I am Qiu Shui, the great general under the Prime Minister's command! Is there anyone who dares to fight? Is there anyone who dares to fight?"

  The words "who dares to fight" were uttered twice in a row, coldly and calmly from the mouth of Autumn Water on the battlefield. The sound was not as thunderous as Zhang Fei's, but it clearly reached the ears of both sides' soldiers.

  Several million troops of the vassals heard the heroic words of Autumn Water and were suddenly intimidated by Autumn Water's momentum, retreating two steps! .......................
