I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1867 - 1868: Just You Wait

Chapter 1867: Chapter 1868: Just You Wait
Since you made a promise in front of so many people, naturally he won’t deceive himself. Zhang Fei agreed without thinking carefully. In his eyes, as long as he doesn’t die, he’ll eventually be able to return to Liu Bei’s side; after all, he’s just slaughtering pigs for you, and Liu Bei wouldn’t blame him.
Once you made the promise, you quickly borrowed money from the middle-aged uncle leading the caravan and gave each of Zhang Fei’s subordinates twenty taels of silver.
While Zhang Fei and his subordinates were bidding farewell, you pulled Wei Yan aside and whispered a few words to him. Wei Yan nodded solemnly, and he also called two of his subordinates aside to whisper to them, after which the two subordinates quietly left.
"Zhang Heizi!" After Zhang Fei’s subordinates left, you directly called Zhang Fei to your side. Looking at Zhang Fei, who was half a head taller than you, you suddenly smiled.
Zhang Fei felt an eerie chill from your gaze and weakly asked, "Why are you smiling?"
"From now on, I’m your boss. No more ’you you you,’ call me boss!"
"Yes, boss!" Zhang Fei replied extremely speechlessly.
You chuckled and called Wei Yan, "Before returning to Xuzhou City, let this Zhang Heizi follow you. We won’t keep idle people here; he’s strong and fit, get him to do the heavy work."
"Alright!"
Wei Yan, being young, still had a bit of childlike demeanor and immediately beckoned Zhang Fei to work.
With this commotion from Zhang Fei, everyone finally gleaned your true identity, and at the same time, you left a deep impression on the Mi Family caravan, especially those in the tent guarded by them.
Mi Cheng, the leader of this caravan, and an officer of the Mi Family. After everyone dispersed, he walked up to you with a smile and bowed deeply, "Li Zhuangshi, thank you very much!"
"Don’t mention it, your caravan is under the protection of the Longmen Escort Agency anyway. Not stepping forward was never an option. Besides, I have some grudges with Liu Bei, and anything related to him, I’ll interfere. Heh, the real show is yet to come." Saying this, a hint of malevolent smile appeared on your face.
At this time, Liu Bei was quite depressed as he encountered Guan Yu while returning to Xuzhou. Seeing the injury on Liu Bei’s arm, Guan Yu’s expression drastically changed, "Lord, who injured you!?"
Liu Bei recounted the entire situation to Guan Yu, and as Guan Yu listened, his demeanor grew darker, until his face even seemed somewhat distorted, "No! This matter cannot be let go like this!"
Seeing Guan Yu’s expression, Liu Bei clung to him as if grabbing a lifeline.
Actually, speaking frankly, Liu Bei only truly trusted Zhang Fei. Guan Yu was not as simple as he appeared; behind him was a powerful and secretive organization that had never shown itself. The reason this organization sought Liu Bei was by coincidence. Initially, Liu Bei, upon traversing to the Three Kingdoms, was intent on realizing his grand vision. Hence, he spared no effort to find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, dazzling them with bombastic rhetoric seen online.
The outcome was, they naturally aided him, and they made a pact in the peach garden. But as time went on, Liu Bei found Guan Yu increasingly mysterious, until one night Liu Bei overheard Guan Yu conversing with a mysterious individual.
Ultimately, Liu Bei was discovered by the two, but they did not kill him and promised to fully support him. At that moment, Liu Bei thought he was blessed by luck, but little did he expect the organization rarely showed itself, offering assistance only at key moments, leaving Liu Bei to rely on his own efforts and Oscar-worthy acting skills.
"Second brother, do you have a plan?" Liu Bei cautiously asked.
Guan Yu’s face was somber like overcast skies, staring fixedly at Liu Bei with a sinister expression, "Kill!"
Liu Bei was instantly startled and asked, "But our people are too obvious. If the operation fails, we’ll have nowhere to stand in Xuzhou City."
After a slight pause, Guan Yu whistled an eerie tune. Soon, a shadow landed on a branch nearby.
Guan Yu looked at the black-clothed person and said gravely, "Organize a team immediately to surround and kill the Mi Family caravan. Spare no one but Mi Xiang!"
Liu Bei hastily added, "There’s also someone named Li Muyun among them; make sure to eliminate him! I’ve heard this guy is invulnerable to blades and spears; I suggest using poison."
The black-clothed individual suddenly glanced at Liu Bei, and in the instant Liu Bei was stared at, his whole body felt a chilling sensation down to his spine, nearly suffocating him.
"Go!" Guan Yu huffed, and the black-clothed individual vanished instantly.
After the black-clothed person left, Liu Bei deliberately turned his face away so Guan Yu wouldn’t see the change in his expression. At this moment, Liu Bei’s face appeared extremely gloomy, and his eyes revealed endless murder intent.
"You all just wait for me! There will come a day... there will come a day!"
Liu Bei shouted frantically within himself.
On the other hand, after wrapping up, your caravan began gradually proceeding towards Xuzhou City.
The morning sky was clear and cloudless, but by noon, light rain started to fall, and the clouds grew thicker with increasing rainfall.
Mi Cheng, being an experienced merchant, did not stop the convoy, instead leading them onward.
You had been walking all along with the caravan, maintaining steady breathing while observing Wei Yan and others’ escort abilities. Of course, recruiting these people wasn’t solely to manage an escort agency, and not only Longmen Escort Agency, but even outside forces had likely noticed this.
Longmen Escort Agency was merely a facade, accumulating funds while serving as a training and military drill approach.
You always walked at the tail end of the convoy. As the skies began to darken, inexplicably, a sense of danger heightened within you. Given you metaphorically carried your life on your waist, you pursued meticulous caution, preferring to take extra measures to prevent unnecessary occurrences.
Suddenly, you lifted your head and yelled toward Wei Yan in the middle of the convoy, "Wei Yan!"
"Present!"
Originally somewhat absent-minded while walking, Wei Yan sprang alert at your shout, quickly responding.
"Pick two people and find a piece of open ground ahead, bring the convoy to a halt."
