Chapter 1 The Crown Prince

  "Haven't you obeyed the young master's orders yet?" Liu Bei, who was standing beside them, saw this and felt that something was not quite right. These two men were fierce, but they also didn't know how to restrain their expressions. So, Liu Bei shouted loudly.

  "Alright." Zhang Fei responded with a single word and mounted his warhorse.

  Drive.

  With a loud shout, Zhang Fei rode his horse at full gallop. A black warhorse, like lightning, sped past with an astonishing speed. The rider on the horse was also quite impressive, coordinating perfectly with the warhorse.

  In the best posture, let the war horse show its footwork and display its speed.

  "Good."

  Liu Feng shouted in agreement.

  "As expected, good riding skills."

  "Horses are good, generals are also good."

  After Zhang Fei galloped his horse for three rounds, even Cao's generals who had biases against Liu Bei's forces couldn't help but say.

  Even Guan Yu and Liu Bei showed a hint of pride in their eyes, secretly applauding Zhang Fei's performance.

  "Yi De is indeed a good rider, with a fine horse matched with a brave warrior, it's a perfect match." Zhang Liao beside him also felt quite surprised and said with a smile.

  "It's too much praise. My third brother was just helped by a stroke of luck." Liu Bei said humbly.

  "Xuande is too modest." Zhang Liao shook his head and smiled.

  A moment later, Zhang Fei galloped back on horseback.

  "Brake." With a beautiful emergency stop, Zhang Fei drove the Lightning to a halt about twenty steps in front of Liu Xie, Liu Feng and others. Immediately after, he dismounted and came before Liu Xie and others.

  Just as everyone was about to praise, Liu Feng suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, saying: "Good, the best horse, the strongest warrior. From now on, you will follow me."

  Shocking, this time it's really shocking.

  Not only did the words of praise that everyone was about to utter get swallowed back into their stomachs, but some people even choked on them. Today can be said to be a grand day for Crown Prince Liu Feng's dazzling debut.

  Recently, it was rumored in the palace that the crown prince had stabbed and killed his junior tutor with a sword, and set loose a large black dog to bite and injure Xiahou Shang and others, many of whom died from their injuries, leaving only one Xiahou Shang barely clinging to life.

  But that only gave everyone a preliminary impression of the crown prince Liu Feng, and today is the first time everyone meets Crown Prince Liu Feng.

  Today, Liu Feng has already shown what it means to be muddled and confused, what it means to be greedy, and what it means to be clever and wise. He has shocked everyone several times.

  As if he had called out Cao Cao, his words were logical and to the point, piercingly incisive. Even the conqueror's military power was secondary to the builder's moral transformation. Such phrases that grasped the way of emperors could be uttered by him.

  It's really shocking, but what's even more shocking is that the person who said this actually had an ulterior motive of making money. The purpose of calling out Cao Cao was to make money.

  What the hell is this?

  Liu Feng's shocking journey began here today. Immediately afterwards, Liu Feng opened his golden mouth and sealed a marquis of 500 households, as well as extorted Cao Cao's lightning horse.

  This guy is really a prodigal son.

  But all of this is nothing compared to this time, Liu Feng actually cleverly seized and plundered, wanting to take Liu Bei's fierce general as a guard. What a shocking blunder!

  Although Liu Bei said he would surrender to Cao Cao, he was a man of great benevolence and righteousness, and also a close relative of the Han imperial family. No matter how reclusive Liu Bei usually was, the officials of the Cao clan were all very wary and on their guard against him.

  Also consider Liu Bei as one of Liu Xie's party. And now Liu Feng actually speaks out, taking a knife to an important figure in his own camp, what does this mean?

  At this moment, whether it was Cao Cao or the forces of the Cao family, or Fu Wan and his forces. Even men like Zhao Yun and Xun Yu who knew Liu Feng's true abilities and intentions couldn't help but look at him sideways.

  Can't figure out what Liu Feng is doing.

  Only Liu Xie slightly understood a bit, because he remembered that Liu Feng had said before that Liu Bei himself might be a water-injected pork, and it's not necessarily a loyal person to the Han dynasty.

  At this time when people were suspicious of each other, perhaps this son had already picked up his knife and struck Liu Bei.

  At this moment, Liu Xie suddenly had a flash of insight and thought of this point. And thus, he remained calm.

  Liu Feng, on one hand, wanted to force Liu Bei to hand over Zhang Fei. On the other hand, he was also wary of the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhao Yun.

  If Liu Bei obediently handed over Zhang Fei, then so be it. Liu Bei could still have the reputation of being a loyal minister of the Han dynasty. If he refused to hand over Zhang Fei,

  It can be inferred that the reputation of Liu Bei, who has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty, will be ruined. This also severed the harmonious relationship between Liu Bei and Zhao Yun.

  Detaining a brave general and yet not giving priority to the crown prince, isn't this forming cliques for personal gain and plotting something sinister? What Liu Feng did today seems topsy-turvy.

  But all for these two purposes, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, or Liu Bei.

  Against Liu Bei's entire force.

  If it weren't for this, why would Liu Feng pretend to be crazy and act foolishly. He's bored out of his mind, putting on a show for others to see.

  The knife has been raised, and it's up to Liu Bei to respond next. On the surface, Liu Feng looked at Zhang Fei with a proud face, but in his heart, he was filled with cold laughter.

  Outsiders don't know the abacus in Liu Feng's heart, nor do they know that Liu Feng doesn't consider Liu Bei as his own person, but rather a future competitor, a treacherous minister and a rebellious son. He made a fatal move.

  One knife down, even if you don't die, you'll be covered in blood.

  So, after the shock, Cao's men began to watch with cold eyes. Including Cao Cao, who was also somewhat afraid of Liu Bei's prestige, but feared that killing Liu Bei would lead to a rebellion by the people. That's why he spared Liu Bei.

  So for Cao Cao, if Emperor Xian of Han and Liu Bei were to turn against each other, that would be exactly what he wished for.

  Cao Cao, this weathervane, has already taken such a posture, and naturally others will follow suit.

  The Han faction led by Fu Wan was sweating bullets. Even Fu Wan had cursed Liu Feng to death in his heart, and this nephew had already given him a lot of joy and shock today.

  This is a mess. Even our own people are being harmed. Liu Bei's true nature has not been exposed yet, and Fu Wan still thinks he is one of us. As a result, after being anxious for a while...

  Fu Wan stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, Left General and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu are three people with a sworn brotherhood, not ordinary. They are almost inseparable. As the saying goes, 'a gentleman does not take away what others love', if we forcibly separate the three of them, it is not the behavior of a gentleman. Even if Your Highness needs someone with prestige, in my humble opinion, Xu Chu and Yu Jin would be better choices."

  Originally, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's expressions were the most wonderful, all of them were completely stunned. Moreover, even Liu Bei did not think that Liu Feng would suddenly make a killer move for a while.

  Whatever answer is given, it's not good. Send Zhang Fei away? Liu Bei can't bear to part with him and will be heartbroken to death. Not send Zhang Fei away? It's equivalent to not respecting the crown prince, which means not respecting the Han imperial court.

  Some of the benefits of reputation will be lost.

  It was indeed riding a tiger and finding it hard to get off, seeing Fú Wàn open his mouth to help him escape, in his heart he couldn't ask for more. However, Líu Bèi didn't continue to make excuses for himself.

  The more he argued, the more it would reveal his unwillingness to hand over Zhang Fei and his disloyalty to the Han dynasty. Therefore, Liu Bei remained silent.

  As the person involved, Zhang Fei was even more frightened in his heart, and Guan Yu's eyes were already wide open, looking very shocked.

  It can be said that Liu Feng's sword this time was dazzling. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Fu Wan, Cao Cao and other historical figures with great reputations all found it difficult to parry.
