Chapter 2: Legendary Blade (Part )

On the rugged mountain road, two figures were walking slowly, one in front and one behind.

No matter what, Wang Yao eventually followed the steps of the woman in red armor who called herself "Mulan", not only because of her words "there are demons lurking nearby", but also because Wang Yao had too many questions at the moment.

Wang Yao was very sure that he slept at home last night, but everything before his eyes was so real that he was also very sure that he was not dreaming.

Looking at the slim and heroic figure walking in front of him, Wang Yao's thoughts were like a tangled mess of spider silk.

Well, it’s not that Wang Yao has never thought about “time travel”, but as a otaku who has lived in the Internet age for 20 years and has watched countless movies and novels that open up his mind, the idea that “time travel is just people’s imagination” has long been deeply rooted in him. So, under the influence of inertial thinking, it is inevitably a bit far-fetched for Wang Yao to insist that he has traveled through time.

What's more, although he played Honor of Kings fairly well, it was just a game, right? In theory, "travel" is just a transfer from one material world to another, but the world of Honor of Kings is just a virtual program, and every once in a while, there are still a large number of programmers who regularly perform maintenance and updates. Can such a "world" be traveled through?
But how do I explain the current situation?

Is it really a prank?
"Hey, you little idiot! Hurry up, do you think you are a snail?"

An unexpected cry came from the front, startling Wang Yao who was lost in thought. Only then did he realize that while he was distracted, the woman in crimson armor had left him far behind, and was now looking at him with dissatisfaction in her dark red eyes.

Most of the time, men always subconsciously want to behave more appropriately in front of women, especially when the other party is a beautiful woman. At the moment, Wang Yao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I was distracted."

"You can be distracted in such a desolate mountain? Aren't you afraid that you will be dragged into the woods and torn to pieces by some strange demons if you are not careful?" The scarlet-armored woman always spoke like a proud princess: "Although you are weak, you are quite courageous."

Even if Wang Yao is a otaku, he is a otaku with self-esteem! Being told by a weak woman that he was powerless, he felt a little depressed. He glanced at the huge black sword behind the cherry-haired woman and felt that he should do something to prove himself.

"You must be tired after carrying this sword for so long. Come, I'll hold it for you for a while."

"Can you do it?" The woman in scarlet armor hesitated for a moment, but still took off the giant sword behind her. After a long journey on the mountain road, her body was indeed a little exhausted.

"It's just a sword. I'm not so weak that I can rely on it!"

Wang Yao, who was full of confidence a second ago, turned pale the moment he took the giant sword handed over by the woman in scarlet armor. It was estimated that this black sword weighed at least a hundred pounds. Let alone carrying it on his back, he had to use all his strength to even hold it up!
"Forget it, I'll do it myself." Seeing that Wang Yao's face turned red just from holding up his sword, the woman in scarlet armor sighed, as if she didn't have much hope in Wang Yao in the first place. She picked up the huge sword with one hand and put it back on the sword bag behind her. The whole process was as easy as grabbing a very ordinary piece of clothing.

Wang Yao stared in amazement at the tall beauty who was almost as tall as him. She was just carrying a huge sword weighing at least a hundred pounds on her back and walking forward as usual. There was not even a drop of sweat on her clean face. His worldview collapsed.

The Olympic weightlifting champion is no more than this, right? But the woman's body looks soft and soft, with only perfect and impeccable sexy curves. Where is the sturdy and strong feeling that a weightlifting champion should have? !

Wang Yao was struck by five thunderbolts, and was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. After that, he was led by the scarlet-armored woman like a puppet for a long time, until the outline of a city appeared in the sky ahead, and then he gradually recovered.

"We're here." The woman in scarlet armor looked at the city in the distance and seemed relieved.

"Where is this?" Wang Yao looked at the huge city standing in the vast sky and earth under the sky in disbelief.

"In Jingzhou of Shu Kingdom, one of my friends is the boss here." The woman in scarlet armor explained as she walked.

"Could your friend be called Liu Bei?" Wang Yao asked cautiously.

"Wow, how did you know that?!" The woman in scarlet armor looked at Wang Yao in surprise.

Wang Yao covered his face and groaned.

He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad at this moment!
Then, as we gradually got closer to Jingzhou, the outline of the city became taller and taller. When we arrived under the city gate, the towering ancient buildings were as terrifying as a prehistoric beast crawling in front of us.

On both sides of the ten-meter-high city gate, ten soldiers in blue armor were guarding each side, the sharp blades in their hands flashing a deadly cold light in the sun.

Looking at the group of soldiers, Wang Yao almost fainted.

Their image is exactly the same as the costumes of the soldiers in Honor of Kings!
At this moment, he could finally conclude that, whether it was a time travel or for some other reason, he had indeed come to a different world from Earth! If you say this is a prank on a variety show, it would be too self-deceptive. Which program group would spend so much effort for an unknown little person? Although Wang Yao, like many people, has always boasted of being extraordinary, but look at this majestic city, look at the armor of these soldiers, how much money does this cost?

Wang Yao is conceited, but he also knows himself well. He knows that his "talent and appearance" are indeed not worth a TV station paying so much money for!

So is everything in front of us real?
But this is too ridiculous, right? There must be a reason for a person to travel through time, right? For example, a car accident, or a failed suicide attempt, and then a blessing in disguise comes to another world, and from then on, he embarks on the road to becoming the master of picking up girls. This is a normal scenario, right?

On the other hand, he could travel through time without knowing why while sleeping at home? This is not normal at all!!
at this time--

"Stop! Who is it?"

A soldier who looked like the leader came up with a knife in hand. Under the helmet that covered the upper half of his face, his pair of black eyes were full of vigilance and hostility.

The scarlet-armored woman stepped forward and said, "Don't be nervous, little brother. We are not enemies. Is your Liu Bei here?"

Wang Yao on the side almost fell to the ground. Sister, although you are very polite, Liu Bei is the ruler of a country after all. What do you want to do by saying "Hurry up and send the big-eared thief out of the city to welcome him"?
As expected, when the leading soldier saw the cherry-haired woman calling out her king's name without any hesitation, he shouted angrily, "How dare you! How dare you call out our king's name directly? Come, take down these two rude people and hand them over to the military advisor for punishment!" Amid the clanging sounds, just as the soldiers were on the verge of drawing their swords, a loud shout came from afar.

"Go back!"

Wang Yao, who was about to slip away, couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound, and saw someone riding a tall horse galloping towards the long dark city gate.

Wang Yao took a closer look and saw that the man was wearing golden armor, a green cloak on his shoulders, his face was as red as a date, his beard was two feet long, and he had a pair of phoenix eyes. He exuded a heroic aura that made him look majestic without even being angry.

"Guan Yu?" Wang Yao stared at the general on the tall horse in a daze, feeling that he was getting farther and farther away from the earth.

Guan Yu rode his horse to the front of the crowd and shouted at the soldiers who surrounded Wang Yao and the other man, "Don't be rude, retreat now!" Then Guan Yu dismounted in a handsome manner, came forward and clasped his fists towards the woman in scarlet armor, saying, "Captain, long time no see. Please don't be offended by my subordinates' blindness."

"Haha, it's okay, it's normal that a few new recruits don't recognize me." The scarlet-armored woman patted Guan Yu's shoulder armor generously, "It's been two years since we last met, and you've become more and more powerful and domineering. I guess even my heavy sword can't resist your blade cavalry now, right?"

"Captain, you are too modest. Compared with you, I, Guan Yu, am just like the glow of rotten grass. How can I compare with the bright moon like Captain?" Guan Yu bowed modestly and clasped his fists.

"Hahaha, even if you flatter me, I won't be happy." The woman in scarlet armor slapped Guan Yu's shoulder armor wildly.

Wang Yao looked at the red-armored woman who was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, isn't this quite happy? But then again, what the hell is this daily conversation that makes people want to complain?

After exchanging pleasantries with the scarlet-armored woman, Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wang Yao beside him without leaving any trace: "Captain, who is this little brother?"

The scarlet-armored woman said, "Oh, him, my new little brother, named Wang Yao."

Wang Yao quickly followed suit and saluted: "Greetings, Second Master."

Although his face was calm, Wang Yao couldn't help but feel excited at this moment. Why? Because this was the real Guan Erye who was worshipped by thousands of people in the future!
The woman in scarlet armor beside him suddenly burst out laughing: "What Second Master? Xiaoyu is in his prime, does he look that old?"

Guan Yu blushed and said, "Since I am the captain's man, you can just call me Second Brother if you don't mind."

What the two said made Wang Yao blush. Damn, this is so embarrassing. He was used to hearing people calling him "Second Master" all the time, so he subconsciously followed suit. People's gossip is hurting people!

Smiling and shaking her head, the scarlet-armored woman turned to Guan Yu and asked, "By the way, where is Liu Bei? And why haven't we seen Xiao Fei yet?"

Guan Yu replied, "Some time ago, the Wu Kingdom launched an invasion. My eldest brother led the military advisor and my third brother to fight. I was in charge of guarding Jingzhou because my body was already overwhelmed. The war should be almost over now. Captain, why don't you go to Jingzhou to rest first? I will inform my eldest brother when he comes back."

"Well, I'm a little tired after traveling for such a long time. My house should still be there, right?"

"Of course, the house has been kept. There have been many demolitions in Jingzhou in the past two years, but my brother insisted on keeping the house. He said that it would give you a place to rest when you come back, Captain."

"This kid is still so good at being a human being. I'll go to the city first."

Knowing that Guan Yu had the important task of defending the city, the woman in red armor did not ask Guan Yu to go with her. After saying goodbye, she pulled Wang Yao into the gate of Jingzhou.

Looking at the two people's backs gradually going away, the original leader of the team couldn't help but come over and said to Guan Yu with a little dissatisfaction: "General, who is this woman? How dare she call the monarch by his name?"

Guan Yu glanced at the soldier calmly and said, "She is Hua Mulan from the Great Wall Guard."

"Mulan?" The soldier thought for a moment, and then, as if he suddenly remembered a legendary nightmare, he began to tremble all over: "You mean, she... No, that lady is...?!"

Guan Yu did not respond, but turned around, mounted his horse and rode away, leaving the soldier shivering in the hot sun for a long time.

"Captain, are you okay? Who is Mulan?" another soldier came up.

The leading soldier seemed to come to his senses. He glanced at his ignorant subordinates and said in a dry voice: "Do you know how we came to Jingzhou?"

The soldier said, "Of course I know. Two years ago, we won a great battle against the State of Wu and occupied the present Jingzhou. What's wrong?"

The leading soldier looked towards the dark city cave in fear: "You have only been in the legion for a year, and you may not know many details. In fact, in the Battle of Jingzhou that year, our Shu Kingdom was on the verge of collapse, and even the highlands were defeated by the Wu Kingdom. But at that time, an adult defeated Zhou Yu, the iron-blooded governor of Wu Kingdom, with his extraordinary strength, which enabled our Shu Kingdom to turn defeat into victory!"

The soldier was horrified: "Are you saying that the man just now is also a [Hero]?!"

The leader swallowed hard and said, "Yes, she is a member of the Great Wall Guards of the Tang Empire. It is said that countless heroes have lost their lives to her sword. She is nicknamed the Legendary Blade!"

There has been an unwritten rule in the King's Continent since ancient times, that is, heroes have the power of life and death over those soldiers who dare to disobey them!
It was not until this time that the team leader realized that he had inadvertently walked around the gates of hell just now.
