Wancheng, Bencao Cottage.

Guan Yu squatted on the steps, holding his cheeks, and stared blankly at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, motionless. A group of children carrying schoolbags danced in songs and jumped past the door. Seeing Guan Yu squatting there like a stone beast, squeezing at each other, giggling, changing songs, clapping hands, and singing in unison.

"Guan Yunchang is long, Hedonglang. He is nine feet tall and has a beard of one foot. He has a strong martial arts skills after studying the Spring and Autumn Period."

Guan Yu opened his phoenix eyes and glanced at the group of children, too lazy to pay attention to them. These children were not afraid of him, so they clapped their hands and continued singing.

"I have a bad temper and have a fortune. I have no wife in the New Year's Eve. Master Guan is panicked. I ask for marriage in the east and visit the west..."

Guan Yi walked from a distance with great strides and shouted with a hurry: "Where did the bastard come from? Who said my elders don't have a wife?"

When the children saw Guan Yi, they scattered. Although Guan Yi recovered well, his eyes were still not good. He could only see a blur and could not see who it was, so he had to let them go. Guan Yu stood up and helped Guan Yi back. Guan Yi was still indignant, but he comforted Guan Yu and said, "Changsheng, don't be anxious. I begged someone again, and there will be news soon."

"Aweng, I'm not in a hurry. A real man has achievements, so why not have a wife?"

"Yes, the most important thing is that my elders will be a marquis and generals in the future. How could they not have a wife? This Nanyang people regard themselves as people from the Imperial Village, with no eyes and no knowledge of talents..."

Guan Yu was very embarrassed, his face turned redder, and he quickly helped Guan Yi aside. "Aweng, what do you think recently?"

"What else can I do? I'm so anxious! You see my eyes are so anxious, and I'm always foggy in front of me..."

"No, I mean, how are your health?" Guan Yu interrupted Guan Yi's complaint. If he had been talking all the time, I don't know when he would stop. "Look, we have lived in Bencaotang for so long, and the money would have been spent long ago. If it weren't for Gongming's face, we would have been driven out. If..."

Guan Yu looked at Guan Yi with anticipation. Guan Yi was stunned for a while, sighed, turned around and sat on the steps, gently pounding his knees. "Changsheng, I know what you want to say. I really feel wronged that you have to accompany me here. Forget it, I can't find a suitable woman anyway, so it's better to make contributions first. Where are you going to go and go to Youzhou? If you want to go to Youzhou, send me back to Hedong first."

"I……"

"Actually, I'm in a hurry to find a woman for you and let you get married and start a career, and I want you to feel at ease." Guan Yi pulled Guan Yu and asked him to sit down aside. "This man, if he doesn't get married, he is still a child after all, and he has no character. You are knowledgeable and good at martial arts, and you are a big deal, but he is too impatient and not steady enough. Once you get married and have ties, you are a man."

Guan Yi was nagging, suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he muttered: "It's a pity that Mr. Du's daughter, if you could bear it, maybe I'd already hugged my grandson now. Oh, such a good woman, I don't know if she is still alive."

Guan Yu's eyes suddenly felt a little lonely. He turned his head aside and avoided Guan Yi's eyes. In fact, this was just a waste of time. With Guan Yi's current vision, he could not see the expression on his face clearly. However, the father and son were in love, and Guan Yi could not see it, but he could feel it. He patted Guan Yu's hand, stood up, and walked into the maternal cottage.

"Go away, pack up and go home."

Guan Yu lowered his head and followed. The two entered the back hall. Guan Yi was fumbled to pack up his things. Guan Yu sat aside and watched, and suddenly said, "Aweng, I think... you might be able to go to Xiangyang."

"Xiangyang? Go and trouble Gongming again?" Guan Yi shook his head. "It's not easy for Gongming to be Changsheng. A Hedong native was appreciated by General Sun and became the commander of Xiangyang. I wonder how many people are staring at him. If you are willing to stay under General Sun's command, it's okay. If you are unwilling to leave under General Sun, you may even be an enemy of General Sun. How can you implicate Gongming?"

"No, Ahon, although I can't turn to General Sun, I will make contributions before leaving and will not be an enemy of him in the future."

Guan Yi turned around and stared at Guan Yu with his white eyes. "Changsheng, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Aweng, I said, I want to make contributions in front of the formation to repay General Sun's kindness. Even if I go to Youzhou, I will not be enemies with him in the future. So you can stay in Xiangyang? You are here, maybe I will come back one day."

"That's it." Guan Yi felt it made sense, so he nodded happily and grinned. "Okay, OK, this is the best. Nanyang people are too snobbish, Xiangyang people may be better. Maybe they can help you decide on marriage, both old and young, even if you settle down here. There were Xiongnu people in Hedong first, and now there are Xiliang people, which is too scent, which is not as good as Jingzhou."

Guan Yu was amused and crying. Seeing that Guan Yi agreed to his plan, he stopped talking, packed up his things and rushed to the dock.

Guan Yu was mostly in Bencao Tang during this period. Not to mention Wancheng, he didn't even leave the inner city, and he didn't know the situation outside. After leaving the city and arrived at Jinkou, he found that although there were many ships in Jinkou and there were more customers. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find a ship willing to carry them. Guan Yu was a little anxious and pulled a boatman to ask. He realized that there were too many people going south recently, and each ship was full of loads. A few days ago, he overturned a boat and drowned people, which made everyone very nervous and did not dare to overload it casually. He had to control the number so as not to happen again.

Guan Yu had no choice but to report his name, claiming that he was not only a villager with the Xiangyang Duwei Xu Huang, but also a good friend with Sun Ce. Guan Yu was handsome and outstanding in figure. The boatman thought he was familiar with him. After hearing what he said, he remembered Guan Yunchang, a prodigal man who was sung by children in Wancheng. He couldn't help but smile and arranged a bed for the Guan family and kept apologizing. It was really because the cabin was tight, otherwise he would have arranged a separate cabin for him.

Guan Yu didn't care. He liked to chat with these ordinary people very much. He became familiar with them within a short time. Only then did he know that many people came from Luoyang. Yuan Shao led his troops south, and the war in Luoyang was likely to start again. The Grand Marshal Zhu Jun was recruiting troops. He heard that Yuan Shao had a Hu people under him, and he killed people without blinking. The people fled one after another. He heard that Zhou Yu went south and was preparing to conquer Jiangnan and wanted to farm in Jiangnan, so they wanted to go to Jiangnan to be military farmers. Although the farming was harder, it was better to be killed by Hu people in Luoyang.

Guan Yu was very surprised. Yuan Shao had a Hu people under his subordinates. Could it be that he had already captured Youzhou? Not long ago, Liu Bei had just written to him that he had arrived in Youzhou, reconciled Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, and served as the prefect of Yuyang. Logically speaking, Youzhou should still be controlled by Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan. Where did Yuan Shao's Hu people come from?

These people could not answer Guan Yu's question. Guan Yu had to take a boat with a bunch of questions for three days and arrive in Xiangyang. After seeing Xu Huang, Guan Yu raised this question, but Xu Huang knew a little about it and revealed the key points in one sentence.

"Yuan Shao married several Wuhuan tribes and forged an edict to grant them the Shanyu. What is the only few thousand Hu cavalry?"

Guan Yu was furious and cursed. "If such scum meets in front of the two armies, Yu will definitely behead his head, thinking it is a weapon of drowning."
