Infinite Streamer

The red-faced boy seemed to not believe that Lu Bu would buy his dates, and said angrily: "You pale-faced boy, don't make fun of others casually! Of course the dates are for sale. If you want to eat them, there are plenty on the tree over there! Pick them yourself!"

After that, he continued to push the cart forward. Lü Bu said helplessly, "How much do you sell this cart of dates for? I'll take as many as you can get. I want them all!"

The ruddy-faced kid took a closer look at Lü Bu's expression and his expensive silk clothes. It didn't seem like he was teasing him, so he parked his wheelbarrow steadily aside and asked doubtfully, "My cart of dates weighs at least 5,000 jin. One jin costs more than five taels of silver. Are you kidding me?"

Lü Bu reached out and pretended to take out a ten-liang silver coin from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "Here is a deposit of ten liang of silver. I want as many dates as you want, but you have to keep them for me for two days. I will come to get them later. As for this cart of dates, keep them for me first. When you have enough dates, come to the Yuelai Inn in Jiezhou City to find me. How about that? My name is Lü Bu, what should I call you, little brother?"

The ruddy-faced kid took the silver and thought to himself: "Oh my goodness, this rich kid is really generous. He is not afraid that I will run away with the silver. This means I have met a great customer!" So he said excitedly: "My name is Guan Yu. I live in the Yuxi Cave in front. I have stored tens of thousands of kilograms of dates in the cave. They are all for you!"

As expected, it was indeed Guan Yu in his youth! Lu Bu muttered to himself, let's see if this historical celebrity is really so loyal! If he is really loyal and righteous, I will accept this Guan Yu as my little brother without hesitation! There are also Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others. By the way, where is old Huang Zhong now? Huang Zhong should be in his thirties now. I don't know where he is wasting his time! I remember that he seems to be from Nanyang, Henan. Speaking of which, he is also from the same hometown as me. After accepting Guan Yu, I might as well go back to my hometown and find out the whereabouts of Huang Zhong!

"But is there a problem?" Guan Yu, who was standing by, saw that Lu Bu had been silent for a long time and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, so he said.

Lu Bu finally came to his senses and said quickly, "I suddenly thought of something. Brother Guan Yu, do you know any martial arts?"

Guan Yu said: "I have never learned martial arts because of my poor family, but I have been very strong since I was young. I have mastered some skills and strength from hitting dates frequently. I can hit the dates without damaging them and at the same time I can hit them with ease."

Lu Bu said, "We can have a fight if we have a chance! To be honest, I am working in Jiuyuan County. Brother Guan Yu, are you willing to follow me to join the army and defend the border for the country and the people?"

Guan Yu was stunned by the question. Could it be that this big, white-faced man was a military officer? He couldn't help but think of the time when he killed a bully. Although joining the army was his best option at the moment, would his qualifications be reviewed and his killing be exposed? If he concealed the fact that he had killed someone, and it was discovered later, wouldn't it cause endless troubles and even harm the people who had done him a favor? He hesitated for a moment.

At this time, Lu Bu said again, "Brother Guan Yu, you don't have to rush to reply to me. I will prepare what kind of weapon you like! Think about it carefully in the next few days, and then give me an answer when we meet again!"

Guan Yu then felt relieved for the time being. He first took care of the matter with the dates, and then thought about whether there was any good way to have the best of both worlds.
