Chapter 734 - Xingtian (1/2)

“Someone is following us,” Liu Bei reminded Ye Cang.

“I know…” Ye Cang had already laid his hands on his silver revolver that was hidden under his hood.

The two of them who were running gave each other a glance. Liu Bei suddenly stopped and pulled out his twin blades single-handedly, staring at the dark shadow descending from the sky.

In the meantime, being well prepared, Ye Cang had already pulled out his gun and was about to shoot at it but was stopped by Liu Bei as he could see who the dark shadow belonged to. “Hold on, that person is no enemy.”

“How do you know?”

“Because my legs’ reaction told me so. Usually, if it’s enemy of ours, my legs will tell me to run.”

“……”

“But we can’t let our guard down too,” wondering who it could be.

As the shadow trudged into the light, they saw a handsome man with long hair and red clothing. Behind him was a maroon guqin and a long red sword hanging on his waist. “Big Ear Liu.”

“Oh, look who we have here. It’s you, Bad Luck Zhou.” Liu Bei kept away his blade. “Knew that you would be abandoned by your envoy again.”

Seeing Zhou Yu getting pissed, Liu Bei went over with a smile. “Oops, I’m sorry. Sorry for reminding you about your sad story. Come. Have a cigarette to reduce stress.”

Zhou Yu took the cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath. With clouds of smoke surrounding him, he said. “I met Kongming that lil’fella along the way.”

“Oh, him again. So unlucky of you. Did he say anything to you?”

“Nothing much.” Zhou Yu tried to stay silent after glancing at Ye Cang and Liu Bei did not ask any further.

“Oh, Gongjin, if we could return to the past with this good stuff (cigarette), I bet most of the strategists would worship me. Guo Jia, Tian Feng, and the others would have definitely liked this.

“Guo Jia has been consuming poison pills and you still wanna give him this? Oh, come on. As for Tian Feng that old fella, I could tell he’s a smoker. Help me buy one packet, would ya?”

“……” Ye Cang was speechless as he stared at the two of them who were casually smoking sticks after sticks and gossiping just like employees taking long cigarette breaks. With a sigh, he kept away his gun and walked over.

“Come on, young man. Let me introduce you to someone. He is Zhou Yu, also known as Gongjin Zhou. The one who is always jealous of others’ intelligence.”

“It’s my pleasure to meet you.” Ye Cang knew who he was as he was able to recall a few dramas about ancient times.

You Big Ear Thief! Zhou Yu grinded his teeth and examined Ye Cang. His fashion sense is a little weird. And furthermore, I’m afraid of these people now as they can always come up with  any reason under the sun to give up the contract with me. He then glanced at Liu Bei. Well, well, this fella is sure good at choosing who to be his envoy. But I must never be careless in picking. Let me test him out. He took a deep breath and stared at the moon. “Young man, what do you think of Kongming?”

“A bastard?” Ye Cang sort of knew that Zhou Yu was tricked by Zhuge Liang in the past. Even though they were allies once, their relationship wasn’t that good.

“Indeed, this young man is no ordinary! You have good observation! I shall then assist you in getting the Holy Cup!” Zhou Yu was amazed and immediately summoned a magic circle to establish the contract. Ye Cang agreed and asked speechlessly, “It feels like Zhuge Liang was not favored by y’all in your time…”
