"Your Majesty, it's like this..."

Xiahou Dun then recounted to Liu Hong the details of their previous conflict with Zhang Fei.

"You two brothers, not a single day is easy for anyone to worry about."

While reprimanding them, Liu Hong turned to Jian Shuo beside him and said, "Go tell the Xiahou family head that after the brothers return home, give each of them ten lashes and discipline them properly."

Upon hearing this, the Xiahou brothers turned pale and inwardly groaned.

Everyone else rewards people with money and beautiful women, but here I'm being rewarded with whips, and I can't even refuse them.

Ignoring the two, Liu Hong raised his eyes and looked behind him with a smile. He immediately spotted Guan Yu, the man with the distinctive appearance, whom he had been looking forward to for a long time.

At this moment, Guan Yu, like the other students around him, was gazing intently at the emperor with reverence.

When Guan Yu first entered the Imperial Guard, he and the others swore allegiance to the emperor in front of Huo Qubing's statue.

In addition, with constant political education every day, the concept of loyalty had permeated Guan Yu's blood.

The moment the emperor looked at him, Guan Yu was terrified.

Under Guan Yu's incredulous gaze, Liu Hong waved to him.

Then, amidst the envious gazes of those around him, Guan Yu walked step by step to Liu Hong.

"Your subject, Guan Yu, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

Guan Yu's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Liu Hong smiled and nodded: "No need for formalities!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Hong: "Have you ever used a courtesy name?"

Guan Yu: "Your Majesty, before I set out, my father hired a tutor to give me the courtesy name Changsheng (meaning 'longevity')!"

"Immortality...?"

Liu Hong murmured a couple of words, then shook his head: "This character is not good. 'Yu' means the feathers of an eagle; it signifies soaring high in the sky, overlooking all directions, and ascending to the top of the clouds."

In my opinion, how about changing his name to Yunchang?

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing this inscription!"
