My Father in Law is Lu Bu

Chapter 131 - The Bloody Administration Office

Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto

“HURRY, QUICK!!!” The buttocks of his warhorse WAS already red; showing traces of blood on it. For cavalry units, their warhorse is their other half. So cavalry soldiers are very reluctant to use whips on them unless it’s for charging. But the little lord right is whipping his warhorse endlessly in order to increase its speed to save his lord’s family.

Currently Wancheng city has been cleaned up, therefore squadron can travel in full speed.

“I WILL NOT LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO THEM, I WILL NOT LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO THEM!!!”

Liu Mang talks to himself slowly while whipping his horse. If even a single strand of hair was harmed on any of Lu Bu’s family, Liu Mang will not forgive himself and possibly commit suicide. Moreover, at Administration Office he also had three of his beloved fiancé. Lu Lingqi, Miss Yuan and He Yu.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of Miss Yuan. A few weeks ago, when they are still in Huangzhou city after capturing it, Lu Bu asked Liu Mang to get acquainted with her as he has approved her to receive Yuan Shu’s legacy (Imperial Seal) formally and in order to walk the path of the Emperor.

Her complete name is Yuan Fang and she is the youngest daughter of Yuan Shu. In Liu Mang’s opinion, although her body is smaller and her bosom is smaller than Lu Lingqi and He Yu, she is very gentle, sweet and a little bit of a quiet girl.

She is definitely a good-educated girl, also she is very intelligent and wise beyond her years just like He Yu, and also well versed in diplomatic matters which Yang Hong taught her. All in all, Liu Mang really got three irreplaceable treasures. Since the Administration Office has been breached, how can Liu Mang not worry now?

TL: Miss Yuan will now be known as Yuan Fang

“FASTER, FASTER!!!” Liu Mang urged.

“General, this is the limit of our warhorse!” Said cavalry soldier nearby. Cavalry troops naturally familiar with their horse’s limit and these cavalry troops are also familiar with Liu Mang who made them eat delicacies and wine. So, they also understand his anxiousness.

Liu Mang’s warhorse is glistening with sweat; its fur already very wet. With this, cavalry soldiers knew that the warhorse has reached its limit. If it accelerated again, his warhorse may fall down because of exhaustion.

“I DON’T CARE. IT MUST ACCELERATE AGAIN FOR ME!!!”

Liu Mang exclaimed very loudy. How can he not know that his warhorse already exhausted. But it is very urgent and if Liu Mang is late for even one second, there will be dead bodies waiting for him.

Damn you Sun Ce, you are really ruthless. Dispatching a superclass strength general just to kill women who cannot fight back. In Lu Bu’s army, there are only 4 general that can at least fight with superclass strength. That is Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba. Lu Bu and Huang Zhong are in their own class, which is pinnacle of super-class. Zhang Liao and Zang Ba have also reached the status of superclass generals.

However, now they are all dispatched to their respective mission, leaving only Liu Mang to fight against these monsters. Liu Mang is pondering, who the hell did Sun Ce send? Is it Sun Ce himself or Taishi Ci? Liu Mang really cannot think of anyone else beside them because in the original history, Sun Ce’s army can be said only have 2 powerful generals, which are Sun Ce and Taishi Ci.

Huang Gai, Han Dang and co, they are now old and what made him still valuable to the army is their rich experience.

Sun Ce really overdid himself this time. Did he not know that once a superclass strength general is surrounded, he will be useless? Is it worth it to trade a life of your mighty general to a settle blood debt? Normal people would not do something this rash, but Sun Ce did. He really did the unthinkable.

Sun Ce and Lu Bu, thinking of these two people, Liu Mang smiled bitterly. These two people are too similar. Their biggest advantage and weakness is their attachment to one thing. Lu Bu is attached to Diao Chan. For Diao Chan, Lu Bu is willing to kill Dong Zhuo and become public enemy number one in this nation. Sun Ce also like that. Sun Ce is attached to exact revenge for his father and to strive for hegemony in order to fulfill his father’s ambition.

Regarding Lu Bu, historically when Xiapi was surrounded. If only he listened to Chen Gong’s advice, he would have been able to win against Cao Cao, perhaps also eliminate him. But Lu Bu did not pay heed to Chen Gong’s advice, but he listened to his wife Madame Yan and Diao Chan’s words to stay beside them to maintain a stubborn defense in Xiapi.

After that, Guo Jia drowned Xiapi by breaking Si River and Yi River’s dams. Lu Bu himself died in the White Gate Tower. This time also, he was almost dead in the White Gate Tower but was averted due to the intervention of a wild card called Liu Mang.

TL: Madame Yan and Diao Chan historically quite smart, because when Chen Gong told his scheme, they can see through him immediately. At that time, Chen Gong wanted to betray Lu Bu and sold him to Cao Cao. But the novel, made them clingy women, really degenerating their roles.

Sun Ce is also like that historically. He is too attached to his fatherʼs will, he did not see anything at his back. At that time, he kept going to hunt despite Zhou Yuʼs warning. He was assassinated by three of Xu Gongʼs retainers. But when he died, his final will is to make Sun Quan succeed him. So Sun Quan can fight for his and their fatherʼs will.

But by doing that, he had closed the path for his wife and son to rise even further and possibly lose good treatment toward them, because Sun Quan is also a person with big ambition and will not let anyone block him in his path for hegemony once he got the power in Jiangdong.

TL: Xu Gong is one of the warlords during pacification of Jiangdong, He and his family was massacred by Sun Ce due to his never-surrender attitude. Xu Gongʼs “ghost” kept living inside his retainers and managed to kill Sun Ce.

But Sun Ce had done that. Actually another option that Sun Ce could have done was let Zhou Yu take over power as regent of Jiangdong and when his son grew up, Zhou Yu can transfer back the power. Zhou Yu is not a person who clings to power, he is like Zhuge Liang; a man of character and integrity.

Maybe at his last moment he thought, Sun Ce realized he had sacrificed so much to follow in his father’s footsteps. He decided he did not want to pass his will to his son, sparing him from the pain that he felt! He also thought to at least honor his mother’s request to appoint Sun Quan as the ruler of Jiangdong as the last filial act toward her.

Two people who had big sentiments towards their family went all out now. Lu Bu’s army has “executed” Da Qiao so Sun Ce was outraged. If Sun Ce’s army managed to harm Lu Bu’s family, then these two tigers will fight to the death.

With that thought “WH-TCH” Liu Mang again whipped his horse’s buttocks.

“General, please don’t, please don’t do that!!!” One of cavalry soldier was startled. How can their general order to slash their horse’s buttocks? These cavalry soldiers are truly unwilling because they are slashing their partners. Even if they themselves were slashed, they were still not willing to slash their horses.

“THEN TELL ME, DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER WAYS TO SPEED UP?!” Liu Mang’s eyes which were already red, full of rage, stared at that soldier who made that speech, and exclaimed toward him

”I!”

“SLASH THE HORSE BUTTOCKS!!!” Liu Mang said again.

“YES SIR!” All of the cavalry troops executed Liu Mang’s order. They quickly slashed their horse’s buttocks, their fur which has been wet by sweat, was now smeared with blood as well.

The warhorse that was slashed suddenly boost their speed again, but every time they ran, blood flowed endlessly. Whatever place that cavalry squadron passed, a trail of blood was present.

“RUSH, RUSH!!!!” The Cavalry squadron’s mood was really bad. Their horses shed too much blood. Judging from their condition, this will be their last ride. Those cavalry squadron cannot lash their rage toward Liu Mang, so they are suppressing it until they meet with those rebel assholes who made their horses like this.

“CHING, CHING!!!!” The sound of battle from the Administration Office grew louder. Liu Mang was really anxious now, not because of the battle sounds, but because of fire that already rose high up.

“NEIGGGHHHH!” The Warhorses were already at their limits, and they started to fall down one by one, almost making Liu Mang fall down as well. Liu Mang however did not have time to mourn his warhorse, he quickly shouted “DISMOUNT!!!!”

The Cavalry troops quickly dismounted as Liu Mang ordered. Right now they are stroking their warhorses, they can no longer do anything for them, so they can only stroked them gently in order to say goodbye to them.

The warhorses as if understanding the feelings of its rider just stayed silent and eased their breathing to accept death.

“BREAK THE DOOR!!!” Screamed Liu Mang

The Administration Office’s front door was closed breaking the line of sight of whatsoever was happening inside, however it could not block out the screaming.

“BANG!!!”

Finally the front door was broken. Inside the Administration Office, blood and corpse were everywhere. Servant’s bodies, Urban Army troops, Black Flag troops are joined in one location. The number of Black Flag troops numbered only 7 – 8 bodies, but the rest of them are innumerable.

Wancheng city Administration Office had never been ruined like this. Not at Lu Kang’s hand, not at Liu Xun’s hand, and not at Sun Ce’s hand. Only in Lu Bu’s hand was Administration Office now in a desolate state.

“NOT GOOD!!!!” Liu Mang just walked aimlessly inside the Administration Office along with his dismounted cavalry squadron. Administration Office is too big, so Liu Mang can only follow the sounds.

The Blood stench became heavier. It came from the Urban Army’s corpses.

“Er Gou, Er Gou!!!” A cavalry soldier picked up a “corpse”. This Er Gou is his fellow villagers. Hearing some people shouting at him, the Urban Army soldier opened his eye slowly. His body is already bleeding profusely and his hand almost chopped off.

Er Gou was one of great shield heavy infantry soldier. Those who were sent by Liu Mang to guard Administration Office are those who survived from Battle of Mt. Bagong. Liu Mang begged Gao Shun to keep their armor and great shield from that time.

Er Gou was wearing the aluminum armor and great shield that Liu Mang brought from the future. That same great shield was now broken into two. The person who did this must have the strength of a superclass general.

Liu Mang had Lu Bu test the defensive power of these heavy armor, only he, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba can break these heavy armor. Lu Bu able was cleave this armor into two, but Zhang Liao and Zang Ba can only pierce it through.

“Are you still alive?!” Liu Mang hurriedly held Er Gou.

“Cough… General Liu!!!” Er Gou opens his eyes to see clearly the man who held him. “Er Gou, Er Gou is incompetent, Er Gou failed to protect Milord’s wives and General’s fiancée’s!!!”

“WHAT!!!!” Failed to protect? What does that mean? Were they killed? Liu Mang exerted too much strength because of his agitation.

“COUGH, COUGH!!!” Er Gou’s hand bleed more and on his face showed a painful look, but he needed to say his last words! “General, QUICK. Go to the West Wing. Milord’s wives and yours fiancée‘s, they are in troub….!!!!” Er Gou had not yet finished his words, when Liu Mang saw the light fade from his eyes.

“WEST WING? WEST WING?!” Liu Mang said it in blank tone.

Wasn’t that the place where He Yu lives in? “They are now with her!!!”
