Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 109: I Bet Hua Xiong Wins

"Second brother, do you... do you know Prefect Long?" Liu Bei’s eyes revealed a hint of complex emotion.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, shaking his head.

His already reddish face blushed even more, resembling a monkey’s buttocks.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao quickly spoke to the other feudal lords, asking, "Which hero is Guan Yu among us? Please reveal yourself quickly!"

A man standing below stood up calmly and said, "I am Guan Yu from Jie County in Hedong County!"

Feudal lords looked at this person, a figure nine feet tall with a two-foot-long beard, phoenix eyes, crescent-shaped eyebrows, a face like a ripe hawthorn, a voice like a giant bell, and a green hat on his head, standing behind Liu Bei. freewebnøvel.com

Although he looked tall and sturdy, why did he dress so strangely?

Especially for the people from the modern world, the strangers in the chat room started to make a fuss when they saw Guan Yu.

"Guan Yu? Who is that? Is it the one with the green hat?!"

"Oh my, this guy’s face looks like a monkey’s buttocks. I’m laughing so hard!"

"What kind of stuff did Sword Wind recommend this time?!"

"I just sensed the aura of that guy with the green hat; he’s so weak! Is Sword Wind serious this time?!"

"Could it be that he recommended a nobody randomly..."

Although these strangers were discussing animatedly, they generally thought that Long Chen had made a mistake this time and randomly picked someone strong to go into battle!

Yuan Shu also noticed, and his face showed disdain.

In a cold tone, he asked, "Who are you under?!"

Facing the scrutiny of Yuan Shu and other feudal lords, Guan Yu showed no fear and calmly replied, "I am currently residing under General Gongsun, only following the orders of my elder brother Liu Xuande!"

Yuan Shao asked Gongsun Zan about Guan Yu’s current position.

Gongsun Zan smiled bitterly and said, "He is serving as a horse archer under Liu Xuande."

Sword Wind, you might have embarrassed me. Guan Yu is just a small horse archer under Liu Xuande; it will definitely be ridiculed by other feudal lords.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu shouted in the tent, "Are you trying to deceive the other feudal lords that we don’t have a great general!?"

"A mere horse archer, how can he withstand the mighty Hua Xiong! Guards, throw him out!!"

Upon hearing this, Long Chen stood up and said coldly, "Hold on! I recommended this person, and when I say he can kill Hua Xiong, he can kill Hua Xiong!"

Yuan Shu stared at Long Chen with a dark expression, pointing his index finger and scolding angrily, "Do you still dare to say that this person is just a small horse archer? How can he defeat Hua Xiong? The generals before him could withstand Hua Xiong for at least three rounds! This red-faced man is probably unable to resist even a single round!"

The reason he was so confident was first because Guan Yu held a low official position, which did not catch his eye. The second reason was that Jiling informed him that Guan Yu did not emanate a strong aura, which made him so sure. frёewebnoѵēl.com

In fact, Guan Yu had a formidable aura, but he was skilled in concealing it.

Long Chen was about to speak in defense of Guan Yu when Guan Yu directly stepped to the center and said calmly, "I’m willing to go into battle and kill Hua Xiong! I’m willing to make a military order! If I fail, just cut off my head!"

After speaking, he turned to Long Chen and expressed gratitude with a grateful look.

Unexpectedly, a small and unknown soldier like himself could be recommended by Long Chen, confirming his ability to kill Hua Xiong. Guan Yu, a man with great pride, felt very happy to be recognized by Prefect Long.

"Ding! Guan Yu’s goodwill towards you has increased to 53 (slightly favorable)." A metallic sound echoed in Long Chen’s mind.

Long Chen smiled back at him, encouraging Guan Yu.

Liu Bei saw the subtle interaction between Guan Yu and Long Chen. His fists clenched tightly, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Second brother... How can you show such an attitude towards Prefect Long...

Liu Bei suddenly felt a bit suffocated in his chest, feeling uneasy.

Cao Cao, a talented commander, had the wisdom to identify talents. As soon as he saw Guan Yu, he felt that this person was extraordinary. He immediately spoke, "Public grievances, calm down. Since this person has said so and is recommended by Prefect Long, he must be extraordinary! Let him go into battle and try it out! If he fails, we can punish him then!"

Yuan Shao furrowed his brows, hesitating, and said, "Sending a mere horse archer into battle will be ridiculed by Hua Xiong, mocking that even our coalition forces lack real generals."

Cao Cao added, "This person has a decent appearance. How would Hua Xiong know that he is a horse archer?"

Long Chen, with a furrowed brow, raised his hand and said, "If Guan Yu fails to behead Hua Xiong, I am willing to accept punishment."

Upon hearing this, the entire assembly was shocked. Even Cao Cao, who aimed to gain Guan Yu’s favor, couldn’t help but admire Long Chen. You are truly ruthless! Even he wouldn’t dare to say such words himself, especially since Guan Yu did not emanate the powerful aura characteristic of a formidable general!

Guan Yu’s gratitude towards Long Chen increased to 55 (favorable) with a metallic sound in Long Chen’s mind.

Long Chen then instructed his subordinates to pour a cup of hot wine and handed it to Guan Yu, saying, "Why not have this drink before beheading Hua Xiong?"

Guan Yu clasped his fists and replied, "Let me have this drink, and then I will go."

Guan Yu left the tent, carrying the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and mounted his horse.

Yuan Shu sneered, "It’s truly shameful! Since when did our coalition forces only send a small horse archer to face enemy generals?"

Long Chen calmly said, "Indeed, a small horse archer alone can easily defeat all of your generals."

"Long Chen, you!!! You infuriate me!!!" Yuan Shu swung his sleeves fiercely and shouted, "I want to see how strong this horse archer in your mouth is! Humph! Don’t forget to accept your punishment later!!!"

Long Chen paid little attention to this and knew the moment of truth was about to come. He turned to Zhou Tai and Xu Chu, saying, "Yuping, Zhongkang, let’s go to the city gate and see how Guan Yu beheads Hua Xiong!"

Yuan Shu chuckled, "Since Prefect Long is so interested, let’s all go and enjoy the show! Assist that horse archer!"

Other lords followed suit, going up to the city wall to witness how the horse archer Guan Yu would contend with the formidable general Hua Xiong.

In the chat room, the players started placing bets.

"Betting time! Betting time!"

"The odds for the horse archer Guan Yu against the formidable general Hua Xiong are 100:1."

"Hurry, this is a chance to earn easy money! I bet five thousand silver on Hua Xiong winning!"

"I bet one hundred thousand silver, Hua Xiong for the win!"

"Now you can also bet on the number of rounds. Most foreigners are betting on one to three rounds for Hua Xiong to behead Guan Yu."

Standing on the city wall, Long Chen naturally noticed the scene in the chat room. He smiled slyly.

Seems like I’m forced to make some money!

It’s just perfect; I’ve had some big expenses lately. Let’s earn some silver for fun...
