镇东王的叛乱被平息之后，平州城下的大批人马仍在休整之中。
石天弓已派出人马，前往青州解救被关押的翟龙彪。
趁着这难得的机会，刘谦在新落成不久的皇宫之中，设晚宴宴请了身在平州的三位结拜弟兄，共叙手足情深。
刘谦端起酒杯，眼含热泪地深情道：“所谓真金不怕火炼，如果没有你们二位兄弟，我和你二哥可能早已命归黄泉了！二弟，你我共同敬五弟、六弟一杯酒吧，聊表心意”。
唐万年与关羽连忙端着酒杯，不约而同地站起身来。
唐万年说道：“大哥九五之尊，小弟担当不起。哥哥有难，做兄弟的自当抛头颅，洒热血，肝脑涂地，在所不辞！我先敬两位哥哥一杯。”说着，一仰脖，自己先一饮而尽。
关羽笑道：“我们自家兄弟，大哥不必拘泥于虚礼。平定叛乱，不光是为了两位哥哥，也是为了天下百姓免受战火之苦，早日迈入太平盛世，安居乐业。”
刘谦连忙摆手道：“都坐下，都坐下。今日酒席宴上没有圣上与臣子，只有手足亲兄弟。”
二人落座后，石天弓关心地问道：“六弟，那聂姑娘还没有下落吗？她能跑到哪里去了呢？”。
关羽脸上露出苦涩的笑容，轻轻摇了摇头。
刘谦与众人干了一杯，抄起竹筷叹道：“经此一劫，禁卫军与大哥我身边的侍卫死伤惨重，各地的兵力也要适当调整。六弟呀，你身手不错，身边可有可靠的护卫推荐给大哥啊？”。
关羽抱拳道：“大哥既然开口，我身边有几个兄弟倒还是真不错！尤其是一个我给他起名叫“段誉”的，曾随我出生入死，功夫么，不比您原来身边的护卫差。”
刘谦喜道：“哦？那就这么说定了！六弟可不许反悔，别过一阵子又说大哥我夺人所爱。哈哈哈”。
唐万年红着脸抬头道：“我身边的护卫就算了，大多是酒囊饭袋，侍卫长就曾被六弟身边的陈灵儿姑娘三拳两脚打趴下过，说起来实在是惭愧！”。
刘谦和石天弓哈哈大笑，石天弓捋着胡须笑着对关羽说：“六弟总是艳福不浅，哥哥们望尘莫及之余，心里十分艳羡。为兄只是好奇，那灵儿姑娘什么来历，为何武功如此高强？”。
关羽连忙抱拳道：“几位哥哥恕罪，原本早该将灵儿的身世回禀哥哥们，一直没有合适的机会。那灵儿姑娘原是云空山云尼师太的弟子，带发修行，她们师徒云游至此，云尼师太一时病倒，小弟我出手相助，故而结识了灵儿姑娘。那灵儿单纯质朴，一来二去我们就……”。
刘谦与石天弓大张着嘴，恍然大悟地点了点头，又相互对视一笑。
刘谦微眯双眼，盯着关羽说道：“六弟呀，阮武死后，青州方面只剩下你四哥，但他又是个粗枝大叶之人，我与你二哥商议后，想让张佰仟将军前去协助他共理青州防务，不知你意下如何？”。
关羽连忙坐直了身子，正色道：“佰仟兄武艺高强，为人忠厚，早就能够独当一面，在我手下做个副将已是屈才了！两位哥哥真是慧眼识珠，我先替佰仟兄谢过二位兄长。”请求出错，状态码:0内容:请求出错，状态码:504内容:<!DOCTYPE html>
