Upon seeing Guan Yu charging towards him, Zhang Fei hurriedly took two steps back, grabbed his spear, and began to fight back with all his might.

Guan Yu's swordsmanship was always characterized by its wide, sweeping strokes, overwhelming force, and extremely high speed.

Even Zhang Fei found it extremely difficult to parry.

In an instant, the sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the courtyard, waking Elena from her deep sleep inside the house.

After getting up and dressing, Elena went to the window and immediately saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei competing in the courtyard, as well as Liu Bei sitting on the side watching the battle.

Upon seeing this scene, Elena, who was still a little grumpy from waking up, immediately suppressed her displeasure.

She knew that since Liu Bei allowed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to compete in the courtyard, their relationship must be extraordinary.

Moreover, Elena had previously been exposed to some aspects of Han Chinese etiquette and knew that Han people valued loyalty and righteousness highly.

If I show any dissatisfaction, I'm afraid I'll be abandoned by Liu Bei immediately.

Thinking of this, Elena adjusted her expression, then walked out of the room with a smile and headed towards Liu Bei.

Seeing Elena approaching, Liu Bei also stood up and walked over.

"Did the competition between my two brothers disturb you?" Liu Bei asked with a smile, holding Elena's hand.

Elena smiled and shook her head: "No, I also really enjoy the duels between warriors!"

"No wonder Nana is so bold and unrestrained; it turns out she's also quite martial. That's truly rare!"

Upon hearing Elena's words, Liu Bei's face broke into a happy smile.

As he spoke, Liu Bei took Elena's small hand and said, "Come, let's watch together. These two brothers are both men who can defeat ten thousand men. It's very rare for ordinary people to see them compete."

"yes!"

Elena obediently agreed, then sat down with Liu Bei and watched the duel between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with a serious expression.

Although Elena's earlier statement that she enjoyed watching the fight was merely a flattering remark to Liu Bei, after sitting down and witnessing the exceptionally intense battle between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, she couldn't help but be deeply captivated.

The two, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were locked in a fierce battle, their weapons clashing in a dazzling display that left the audience breathless.

In the past, she had watched gladiators compete, and her impression of them had always been that they were simple, brutal, and savage.

But after witnessing the contest between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei today, she realized that such a contest could exist in this world.

"Oh dear, sister-in-law, please say something! I can't hold on much longer!"

Just as Elina was engrossed in watching, Zhang Fei suddenly took a few steps back and shouted at her.

Upon hearing this, Elina looked at Liu Bei beside her with some confusion.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Yide is asking you for help, so please help him!"

Upon hearing this, Elina also stood up and looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the courtyard: "Gentlemen, please rest for a while!"

Upon hearing Elena speak, Guan Yu, who was in the middle of an attack, immediately stopped.

Zhang Fei seized the opportunity to immediately take two steps back, letting out a long breath with a look of lingering fear.

After putting away his weapons, Zhang Fei approached Elina with a grateful expression: "Thank you for speaking up, sister-in-law. Otherwise, I, Zhang Fei, would probably have been beaten so badly by my second brother that I couldn't walk today!"

Zhang Fei's address of "sister-in-law" made Elina blush, and she lowered her head, unsure of what to say.

Guan Yu, who was behind them, also came over and bowed to Elina in greeting.

The attitudes of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also delighted Elina.

The fact that she was recognized by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei meant that Liu Bei truly accepted her and regarded her as his woman, not as a tool for marriage alliance.

This is something that Elina can be very happy about.

Liu Bei took Elena's hand and said with a smile, "Nana, in our Han Dynasty, there is a saying: the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother."

As elder brothers and sisters-in-law, besides taking care of their brothers, they should also think carefully about their brothers' marriage prospects.

Elina smiled and said, "Does my husband mean that I should find a few marriages for your two uncles?"

Liu Bei nodded: "That's right. Now that I've settled here, these two brothers should naturally have a home too!"

"What do you think, my husband, should we find for our two uncles?" Elena asked.

Liu Bei said solemnly, "Then she must be a lady of noble birth, well-educated and courteous."

You must know, my two brothers are heroes who have fought on the battlefield and received awards from the Emperor!

Upon hearing about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's situation, Elena couldn't help but ponder it carefully.

Then, Elena looked at Liu Bei and said, "My lord, in my opinion, within this province of Egypt, only the two daughters of the governor are worthy of our two uncles!"

"Oh? Then how is the Governor's daughter doing?"

Liu Bei's brow furrowed, and he inquired about the governor's family.

If one wants to develop one's own power in the Egyptian province, in addition to the support of the local nobles, the most important thing is the support of the governor.

If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could become the governor's sons-in-law, it would be of great help to his career.

"The governor's two daughters are twins, the elder named Pekeya and the younger named Pekey. They were born within half an hour of each other and are now sixteen years old."

I once saw the two sisters at a banquet; they were both elegant and beautiful, and quite a good match for their two uncles!

"Okay, okay!"

Upon hearing Elena's introduction, Liu Bei nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Liu Bei took Elena's small hand and said with a smile, "Nana, why don't you hold a private banquet for women and invite the noble ladies, and also invite the governor's two daughters?"

"My lord is right, I will go and make the arrangements immediately!"

Elina agreed to Liu Bei's order without hesitation.

Then, Liu Bei, along with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, entered the house to discuss the next steps.

After taking their seats, Liu Bei glanced at the two men and said in a deep voice, "Yide and Yunchang, after yesterday's banquet, my reputation will soon resound throughout the noble class of the entire Egyptian province."

Next, we need to build momentum for the two of you. We need to show them your true abilities!

Peckney was, after all, the governor of a province, so getting him to willingly marry his daughter to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would definitely require some planning.

Guan Yu said solemnly, "Brother, I'm sure you already have a good plan in mind. Whatever you say, I'll do!"

“Me too!” Zhang Fei stepped forward and echoed.
