My Father in Law is Lu Bu

Chapter 670

“We deal with Zhou Yu?” The others began to react. To them, Zhou Yu was scarier than Sun Ce. Zhou Yu was the most intelligent person in Jiangdong.

If they wanted to rebel against Sun Ce, they were afraid that Zhou Yu, not Sun Ce, would find out. Now that the black robed stranger told them to go and deal with Zhou Yu, the nobles started to feel a sense of dread.

“Kill Zhou Yu? If we do that, wouldn’t we no longer have any way of reconciling with Sun Ce?” One of them still had wishful thinking.

“Who asked you to kill Zhou Yu?” The stranger’s hoarse voice echoed. “If you do, you can forget about taking Jiangdong. You all would not even be able to live.” The stranger laughed as he drank his tea. If they were to kill Zhou Yu, Sun Ce would not even bother negotiating. He would go berserk and send his entire force of at least thirty thousand men at the culprits. Even Zhang Zhao would not be able to deal with it with his current assets.

“Then what do you suggest?” Zuo Li asked.

“We capture Zhou Yu and force Sun Ce to submit.” The black robed person said firmly. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were very close. It can be said that without Zhou Yu, the current Jiangdong would not exist. Though Sun Ce does not listen to all of Zhou Yu’s advice, Zhou Yu still play a part in major decisions.

“But how do we enter Zhou Yu’s residence?” This was also a problem as the residence was very well guarded. It was not possible to sneak in and if they were to attack head on, Sun Ce’s reinforcements would come before they could even reach Zhou Yu.

“Entering Zhou Yu’s residence shouldn’t be too hard. Don’t you agree Master Zhang Zhao?” The stranger smiled as he looked at Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao also gave a smile. “It would be hard in the past but it would be different with this person.” Zhang Zhao said as he pointed at He Rui’s corpse.

“He Rui?” The others thought for a while before they understood. He Rui was Zhou Yu’s subordinate. He only planned to rebel alongside Zhang Zhao and the others because he had thought that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce was going to surrender to Yangzhou. After finding out that Sun Ce did not surrender and instead deceived Yangzhou, He Rui began to hesitate again.

As Zhou Yu’s subordinate, He Rui could pay a visit to Zhou Yu. One could say that this is no longer possible since Zhang Zhao just killed He Rui but they could always use He Rui’s token to go as He Rui’s representative. With He Rui’s token, entering Zhou Yu’s residence became easy.

“This matter should not be delayed. Let us act now.” The Hao Family’s Patriarch said impatiently.

“There is no rush.” It was already getting dark. Going now would only bring suspicion. They might end up not even being able to get past the front gate.

“Hm. It is getting late. Are you all going to stay here or are you all going back home?” Zhang Zhao asked as he looked at the others. Zuo Li initially thought of going home but then he saw the sword in Zhang Zhao’s hand and changed his mind. As one would expect, this was a crucial moment. Zhang Zhao would definitely not allow any possibilities for mistakes to happen.

“What about you?” Zhang Zhao looked at the black robed stranger.

“I will be bothering Lord Zhang.” The black robed stranger said. Zhang Zhao then nodded. “Men! Go and prepare rooms for these patriarchs and Master Yang Kui. You must properly serve them. If something goes wrong, you will be held accountable!” Zhang Zhao gave the order to his housekeeper.

“Yes! Patriarch!” Soon, a several servants came to guide the others. The black robed stranger and his servant was also given a room.

“You all go out first. We want to take a bath and change clothes.” The black robed stranger said to the servants.

“Do you not need our help?” Nobles usually have the female servants scrub their backs. Sometimes they even bathe together.

“My Master is obsessed with cleanliness.” The young man replied. He simply wanted to chase the servants away but he did not take the hint.

“Oh!” The servant smiled. “Please do not worry. These women are all virgins who has not been touched before.” It was clear that he has a misunderstanding.

“Haha. Brother. We do not like servants to help us bathe. We can do it ourselves.” The black robed stranger said.

“Ah!” The servant initially thought himself and the others to be inadequate but now misunderstood the two to be homosexual.

“What are you thinking of?” The young man wanted to explain himself but he was stopped by the black robed stranger. “Brother. Do you want to join us?”

“No, it is alright. The two of you do as you wish.” The black robed stranger’s smile caused the servant to panic. He quickly walked away and closed the door.

Only after the servant left did the black robed person took off his clothes.

Seeing the black robed stranger’s face. The young man gritted his teeth. “Brother Lu. Is this worth it?”

The black robed stranger, or rather, Lu Su, laughed with a hoarse voice. “It is not about whether it is worth it. I failed to live up to the Lord’s expectations so now I must make up for it.” ṙ𝙖ℕO͍𐌱Ę𝙎

“But…!” Yang Chen wanted to argue but Lu Su stopped him. “If I do not do this, do you think we could have entered the Zhang Family’s residence?

“Sigh.” Yang Chen sighed. Lu Su may not be as handsome as Zhou Yu in the past but he was still a handsome man. But now, Lu Su’s face was full of scars. His own voice was also destroyed by swallowing carbon.

“Don’t worry, Ziyu. This won’t go on for long. This is just our flesh. Once we are dead, no one would remember our faces. They would remember us by our actions.” Lu Su placated Yang Chen.

Yang Chen nodded even though he did not fully understand.

“We need to hurry up! Milord. This incompetent Zijing has lost Jiangdong. He must now take it back.” Lu Su thought to himself as he approached the cask.
