MY FATHER IN LAW IS LU BU

Chapter 673

“Master Yang Kui. You are finally here.” Zhang Zhao said excitedly. He had been waiting for Lu Su and the others.

Beside Zhang Zhao was a young man who looked naturally impressive and had blue eyes.

“This subject Yang Kui greets the East Expedition General.” The black robed person greeted. This was the title Cao Cao gave to the Lord of Jiangdong to ally with Jingzhou. Addressing a person with that title meant considering that person to be the Lord of Jiangdong.

“N!” The young man nodded. Of course, this man’s identity can only be Sun Quan. Though he looked haggard, he wasn’t injured at all. Sun Ce only had this person locked up but did not treat him as a criminal, as though waiting for Sun Quan to come to his senses.

Sun Quan nodded. The black robed person looked familiar to him but he could not properly recall as to who. Fortunately, he did not bother to think too hard.

“Milord. This person, Master Yang Kui, is the one I was talking about.” Zhang Zhao was already addressing Sun Quan as his Lord.

“So it is Master Yang Kui. Come, rise.” Sun Quan was still very good with his outer appearance. He even went to help up the black robed person.

“Master Yang Kui. Where is the Grand Governor?” Zhang Zhao asked with a smile.

“The Grand Governor did not come with us.” Lu Su replied.

“What?” Zhang Zhao’s smile froze. What can they do without Zhou Yu? Are they really going to fight against Sun Ce? There was no one in Jiangdong that could be a match for Sun Ce in battle.

“Lord Zhang. Originally, I wanted to bring that Zhou Yu over. But this person whispered something to Zhou Yu and let him go!” Zuo Jie said unsparingly. As he did not get along well with Yang Chen, he also took out his anger on the black robed person. Zuo Jie considers himself the Young Master of the Zuo Family. He looked down on the black robed person and Yang Chen, who came from a humble family.

“You let Zhou Yu go?” Zhang Zhao’s eyes narrowed. Failing the task was one thing but letting Zhou Yu go free was too shocking. “Who are you? What are you trying to do? Are you here to sabotage us?” Zhang Zhao asked gloomily.

“I am not trying to do anything. I only want to gain a good position. If I had ulterior motives, would I be here to talk to Master Zhang Zhao?” The black robed person said without fear.

“Then why did you let Zhou Yu go? You must know, that we need Zhou Yu in our hands if we are to capture Jiangdong. Once Zhou Yu and Sun Ce teams up, all of us here would be in trouble!” Zuo Li also spoke in a flustered manner. Nobles were opportunists. If he was not forced by the circumstances, he would not be here rebelling with Sun Quan. Now that he heard that Zhou Yu was not captured, he started to panic as Zhou Yu still casted a large shadow in their hearts.

“Don’t worry. The Grand Governor will not be helping Marquis Wu. He would not be able to!” Lu Su said indifferently while hiding his pain.

“What do you mean by that?” Zhang Zhao asked.

“If I brought the Grand Governor back, we would all be dead.” Lu Su said. “Zhou Yu is already on the brink of death.”

“What!” Everyone cried out in surprise. Lu Su then explained what happened. Jiangdong was something Sun Ce struggled to obtain for many years. It was Sun Ce’s ambition. Zhou Yu could not leave Sun Ce with nothing. So in the end, Zhou Yu chose to open up his wound. Zhou Yu did not even alert anyone. Lu Su and the others also did not do so as it would prevent them from escaping Zhou Yu’s residence. With this, it could create the scenario that Zhou Yu died because his wound reopened and not because of Sun Quan. At the very least, Sun Ce would not go and take revenge.

“If I brought back Zhou Yu’s corpse, then we will have to deal with Marquis Wu’s fury.” Lu Su said. If they had brought Zhou Yu back, it would be evidence that they killed Zhou Yu. With Sun Ce’s temperament, he would not stop until Zhang Zhao and the others were dead.

“Zhou Yu is gone?” Everyone’s eyes widened. Zhou Yu was Sun Ce’s brain. If Zhou Yu is dead, then Sun Ce was nothing to fear even if he has thirty thousand men since someone who only knows how to charge forward will not live long. They still had hope.

“Now is an important time. We must strengthen the defenses at Huiji and await Marquis Wu’s attack. If we manage to persevere, we would no longer need to fear Marquis Wu.” The black robed person said to Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao.

Lu Su’s words was attractive. What they feared was Zhou Yu and Sun Ce working together. When that happened, they were able to capture Jiangdong and defeat Xu Gong, Yan Baihu and Liu Yao, despite having only three thousand men. The one they actually feared more was Zhou Yu. Now that Zhou Yu is dead, their morale went up. Huiji and its surroundings were their territory while Sun Ce only has Jianye. It was not yet certain who would win.

“Father. I think this person and Zhou Yu…” Zuo Jie said to his father. Zuo Li then furrowed his brows and quietly told Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan.

While the others were agitated, Sun Quan calmly walked forward and asked. “Master Yang Kui. Why do you continue to wear those robes and not take off your mask?” ꞦÁＮο𝐛Ëʂ

Yang Chen immediately stiffened.

“I am ugly and afraid I would worsen Milord’s mood.” Lu Su replied.

“Don’t mind it. I, Sun Quan, have seen ugly people like before. Look at Dian Wei. He is ugly but he is still one of Cao Cao’s outstanding subordinates.”

“I still think there is no need!” The black robed person continued to object.

“Brother Yang. You are already going to be working for the Lord. Why do you still try to be secretive? How is the Lord supposed to treat you then?” Zhang Zhao said with a smile as he approached Lu Su. He then suddenly removed Lu Su’s robes.

“What are you doing?” Yang Chen immediately stepped forward to protect Lu Su. He was ready to fight against Zhang Zhao.

“Ziyu, withdraw.” Lu Su said to Yang Chen. He then lift his head to look at Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao.

“East Expedition General and Lord Zhang wants to see my face? Alright. I will let you see it. There is no need for this.” Lu Su then removed his mask.

The others present took a deep breath when they saw the face behind the mask. It was so full of knife scars that the facial expression could hardly be seen. Everyone looked disgusted except for Yang Chen who looked bitter.

Even Sun Quan was shocked. “It is not him.” Sun Quan thought to himself and then immediately changed his expression. “Haha. This General does not mean to offend. I only did it in consideration of the overall picture. Please forgive me.”

“It’s alright. Only a bright ruler knows to differentiate allies and enemies. I Yang Kui am simply not the right person.” Lu Su put his mask back on.

“Haha. As you said, we should raise our defenses at Huiji. So now, let us quickly leave for Huiji! Things might change if we stay here any longer.” Zhang Zhao also said awkwardly.

“Of course. Of course!” The others all nodded in agreement to continue the discussion at Huiji. Meanwhile, Lu Su looked towards the North where his friend was. “Gongjin. Stay well.”

“Not good! Not good! Someone get over here quick! The Grand Governor has collapsed!” One servant girl shouted in fear after noticing Zhou Yu on the ground and covered in blood. The entire Zhou Residence was in a state of alarm.
