Chapter 106: Zhao Yun: My teacher? How come I don’t know?
"Second brother, third brother, Zilong, since we know each other, then don't stand here, let's sit down and talk."

Liu Bei grabbed Zhao Yun's hand and pulled him to sit down.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other, then sat down around Liu Bei and Zhao Yun.

Suddenly, Zhang Fei, who was sitting next to Guan Yu, jumped up, attracting curious glances from the other three.

Without waiting for them to speak, Zhang Fei smiled innocently at them, "Big brother, second brother, Zilong, even the old man at the theater door talks about 'family and national affairs' with his mouth open. What's the point of us chatting dryly? I'll go get some snacks."

"Wait, Third Brother."

As soon as Guan Yu's voice came out of his mouth and he stretched out his hand, Zhang Fei rushed out of the house, leaving only a hurried back.

Seeing Zhang Fei's impatient look, Liu Bei shook his head and laughed, "This third brother is still so impatient, Zilong, please don't be surprised."

"No." Zhao Yun smiled, "I think Third Brother is a true person."

"Well said." Guan Yu stroked his long beard and nodded to show his agreement.

Liu Bei cast his eyes on Zhao Yun's face and asked with concern, "I wonder how Zilong is doing?"

"Of course, they are not as good as the people here."

Zhao Yun's face changed slightly as he remembered the reactions of Lao Zhao and Lao Li. Of course, Zhao Yun didn't hate them, but the kindness of these people was too much for him to handle. If he continued to eat, he might not be able to walk. He thought he had a big appetite, but when he saw the food they brought, he was stunned. After tasting it himself, he found that it was not only delicious, but also rich in oil and sugar, which once again refreshed his understanding of the "fairyland".

Shaking his head, Zhao Yun drove away these thoughts for the time being, and continued, "I am from Changshan Zhending. My parents died early, and my family fell into poverty. Fortunately, my uncle from the same clan helped me, and my brother also worked very hard and got a position in the county. That's why I don't have to starve to death. Even in recent years, I have been able to have enough food at home. My brother has always been supportive of my ambitions."

After hearing what Zhao Yun said, Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other, and the same thought emerged in their minds. No wonder Zilong had to observe mourning for his brother. In this situation, the elder brother really is like a father.

Zhao Yun paused for a moment and continued, "Brother Liu, according to my brother's original idea, I was allowed to build up my reputation in my hometown and practice martial arts, and then go to a master. But since the immortal came to my dream, I can't control myself, and I can't wait to catch up with Brother Liu. It's a pity that my brother has dissuaded me again and again. Until recently, I learned that you went to Liangzhou, and I was often uneasy. Today, my chest hurts. I really can't stand it anymore. I want to say goodbye to you, but I don't know what the 'me' in your room will become after I come here."

"What do you look like?" Guan Yu said with a smile, "Zilong, don't worry. When you come to the fairyland, the 'you' on the Han side is just sleeping lightly."

"Sleep? In the afterlife?"

Zhao Yun noticed the words Guan Yu used and asked, "Second brother, you said this is the future? I wonder how many years have passed since the Han Dynasty?"

"How many years?" Guan Yu said vaguely: "About 1,800 years."

"One thousand eight hundred years?"

The excitement that had just surged into his head gradually subsided. The weight of time was too heavy, causing him to sigh, "Too long, too long."

"Hahaha." Liu Bei smiled and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder. How could he not see Zhao Yun's thoughts? The gap between the later generations and the Han Dynasty was so big that it was like the stars compared to the bright moon. How could a decayed firefly compete with the bright moon? Even Yao, Shun and Yu could not be compared with the later generations. It was like a beautiful dream floating in the air.

Liu Bei consoled him, "Zilong, we are still young, not even thirty years old. Don't sigh. Although it is difficult, isn't it the favor of the Emperor of Heaven that we can come here? Eat one meal at a time, walk one road at a time, see the big picture from the small, first let all the people of the Han Dynasty have enough food and warm clothes, then talk about other things. Who could have thought that Emperor Taizu Gao founded the Han Dynasty as a commoner? Who could have thought that Emperor Guangwu would revive the Han Dynasty again?"

"Brother, I'm teaching you a lesson." Zhao Yun lowered his head in shame.

Liu Bei patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder again and said, "What's the point of teaching him a lesson?"

Guan Yu echoed, "We are all brothers, there is no need to be so distant."

"Hahaha, big brother, second brother, Zilong!" A rough voice sounded, and Zhang Fei came with herbal tea, melon seeds, peanuts, and broad beans.

"Clang-"

Zhang Fei placed a blue and white porcelain teapot and two large bags of melon seeds, peanuts, and broad beans on the table. Zhao Yun felt it was novel, because he knew broad beans. Broad beans were among the crops that Marquis Bowang brought back from the Western Regions.

"Third brother, what are these two things?" Zhao Yun pointed at the melon seeds and peanuts and asked curiously.

"These are melon seeds and peanuts. I heard they were brought from the West. Come, Zilong, try them quickly." Zhang Fei grabbed two handfuls and stuffed Zhao Yun's arms full. He taught Zhao Yun how to crack the melon seeds and even peeled the peanuts himself, his eyes full of eagerness to try.

"Come on, Zilong, open your mouth."

"Open your mouth." Zhao Yun opened his mouth subconsciously.

"Whoosh-"

The peanuts were thrown out by Zhang Fei, drawing a graceful curve in the air and falling accurately into Zhao Yun's mouth.

The delicate and mellow taste spread in his mouth. Zhao Yun's eyes lit up and two words popped out of his mouth, "Delicious!"

"Hey, do you want more?"

Seeing Zhang Fei was about to peel it again, Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped him, "Enough, enough, Third Brother, I can do it myself."

Zhang Fei's eyes turned, "Good Zilong, now that you've tasted my peanuts, can you answer a question for me?"

"Third brother, you can tell me anything you want. Even if it's just one, even if it's a thousand or a hundred, as long as I know about it, I will definitely not keep it for myself."

"Okay." Zhang Fei squeezed next to Zhao Yun and asked, "Zilong, is your teacher Tong Yuan in Changshan?"

"Ah? Tong Yuan?"

Zhao Yun was stunned by the unfamiliar name and frowned unconsciously. His teacher was called Tong Yuan? How come he didn't know that?
So I started searching for this name frantically in my mind.

Zhang Fei thought Zhao Yun didn't want to reveal the whereabouts of his 'teacher', so he laughed and said, "Zilong, if you don't want to tell me, just forget it. Just pretend I didn't ask."

"No, Third Brother, wait a minute." Zhao Yun's brows relaxed and he came back to his senses. He was full of doubts. Could it be that Third Brother saw the records of later generations and knew that I would meet a mentor in the future? No, while I am still in Changshan, I must ask clearly.

"Third brother, which great sage is this Tong Yuan you are talking about???"

"what?"

This time it was Zhang Fei's turn to be dumbfounded. Even the smile on his lips froze, his ears were buzzing, and his expression became increasingly weird.

"It's the teacher who taught you martial arts."

At this point Zhang Fei shuddered, as if he remembered something, and quickly closed his mouth.
