My Father in Law is Lu Bu

“It’s you?” Sun Ce’s eyes grew wide in realization. His mood also immediately plummeted. If he could, he would choose to kill Zhuge Liang right then and there. After all, it was because of Zhuge Liang that he was still stuck here. In fact, there were many times that his army had suffered defeat because of Zhuge Liang.

One such defeat caused Han Dang to end up bedridden. If Zhuge Liang was not there, it was possible that they would have already captured Jiangxia. It was ironic for a mortal enemy like Zhuge Liang to now become an ally.

“Master Zhuge is truly talented.” Sun Ce mocked. His eyes narrowed at the person who caused Jiangdong so much trouble.

“Marquis Wu flatter me. I am just a little bit clever.” Zhuge Liang replied indifferently.

“A little bit clever?” Sun Ce felt even angrier at Zhuge Liang’s reply. If Zhuge Liang is only a little bit clever then the rest of them would be idiots to get stalled for over half a year and lose countless soldiers to Zhuge Liang.

“Master Zhuge. Are you not afraid that I would kill you here?” Sun Ce’s eyes narrowed as his strong killing intent spread out. He wished he could kill Zhuge Liang and remove one huge obstacle. Although Wen Pin and Zhou Cang were there, they would not be able to deal with Jiangdong’s talents on their own like Zhuge Liang’s strategies.

“Haha. Would Marquis Wu do that? Even if we are not allies at the moment, I believe that Marquis Wu would have enough manners to not kill me like this!” Zhuge Liang was unaffected by Sun Ce’s killing intent and laughed. He then turned to Sun Ce’s guards. “Why are you still standing there? Go and get me a small chair. I want to converse with your Lord.”

“This…” Sun Ce’s personal guards were dumbstruck. Only Zhuge Liang could walk into an enemy camp all carefree and give commands to the enemy’s men. The guard could not help but look at sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

“Haha!” Sun Ce laughed angrily. Where does Zhuge Liang think he is? Just as he was about to order Zhuge Liang to be imprisoned, he was stopped by Zhou Yu.

If it was someone else, Zhuge Liang would have really been imprisoned. This is because Sun Ce ruled through tyranny. His opinions were hard to change. Like the old Lu Bu, he had little enemies as his grudges were quickly settled. The reason he stopped was because the one that stopped him was Zhou Yu.

“Quickly bring a seat for Master Zhuge.” Zhou Yu said to the guard. His actions and attitude showed that they should not offend or kill Zhuge Liang.

“Gongjin?” Sun Ce was questioning Zhou Yu’s attitude as Zhou Yu also wanted Zhuge Liang dead.

Zhou Yu looked back at Sun Ce and showed an expression that Sun Ce could understand. He wanted to say that they must not kill Zhuge Liang, at least not yet.

Zhuge Liang himself would know that the Jiangdong Army would want him dead. Even if they were now allies fighting together against Yangzhou, they were still enemies. If Zhuge Liang was able to enter Jiangdong’s camp so indifferently, he would definitely have an assurance that he would be able to escape.

“Why did Master Zhuge come here personally? I am sure a messenger would have sufficed.” Zhou Yu laughed as he spoke to Zhuge Liang.

“Haha. I also want to be at camp allocating the troops but I am extremely worried about this.” Zhuge Liang pointed at the Northeast causing Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to be confused. That was the direction of Yangzhou’s main camp.

“To ensure that Jiangdong is no longer threatened and to properly return and report to Milord, I will have to do my best.” Zhuge Liang said.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu turned their attention towards Yangzhou the moment Yangzhou was mentioned. This is because they had already saw Yangzhou’s strength. Despite Wen Pin sending out thirty thousand men, he suffered a defeat and barely damaged the enemy.

They were sure that Jiangdong could not fare much better against Yangzhou. Besides that, the Yangzhou threat was imminent. Even if they had any objection towards Zhuge Liang, these can be done after the Yangzhou Navy is dealt with.

“Master Zhuge. How do you intent to do your best?” Zhou Yu asked.

“Two forces will cooperate to destroy the Yangzhou Navy.” Zhuge Liang replied calmly. It was as though the Yangzhou Navy was not an issue to him.

“If that is just the case, then I don’t think Master Zhuge would have come personally.” Zhou Yu prodded. Zhuge Liang’s words were too vague.

“That would be me and Zhou the Beautiful Youth.” Zhuge Liang replied. “Although Yangzhou has little people, they are already too powerful. If we combine our strategems, would we be able to fully annihilate Yangzhou?” Zhuge Liang asked.

It was true that by working together, their options would increase. To defeat Yangzhou, they would need to be at their best. Jingzhou and Jiangdong could not afford to be fighting each other if they wanted to defeat Yangzhou.

“That is why I am here, to ensure that both sides are in close relation and to show Jingzhou’s sincerity!” Zhuge Liang said to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
