Chapter 49 - I Am Me (MTL)
Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by TyrLoki
”I will not allow this!” It was not Lu Bu that spoke, instead it was Liu Mang who was already standing that refused.
Liu Mang had to refuse this. Fuck you, Old Yuan, by saying that thing. “My son not yet married” you spoke that word easily so it can act as a fishing line for your glory?
I who has twenty years of being a bachelor, whose only girlfriend is my left hand cannot allow this. My spring time of youth has finally come. I have a beautiful but fierce fiancée. Will I allow those things to be snatched so easily by Old Yuan.
You have always said that your Yuan family is a good family. You are the third brother of the fourth generation of Yuan family. Tall, rich and handsome wit good genes but this treatment on asking for a woman's hand, you are an absolutely no-good, unethical person. Both of you are arrogant pricks who are also a wife-snatchers.
“Who art thou? Dost thou have not seen my father and your sovereign had a discussion of utmost importance, thou as an unwanted party here, must stand down your opinion?” Young Yuan is very angry before, when he called Lu Bu, honorable father-in-law, he had already refuted by him. Now however he can directly oppose Lu Bu with his father by his side.
“Make me withdraw my opinion? Your father is not qualified to speak with me at the same level, let alone you!” Liu Mang will not be polite against these two wife-snatchers.
After hearing Liu Mang's words, Yuan Shu become startled and angry immediately because in Yuan Shu's view, Liu Mang was just Lu Bu's young bodyguard. “Fengxian, is this your subordinate?! He, a mere servant, dared to speak while his masters are discussing important matters? Arrest him immediately!”
Arrest Liu Mang? Ha-ha, if there is no Liu Mang, there will be no Lu Bu now. In Lu Bu's army, the one who cannot be sacrificed by Lu Bu right now is probably only Liu Mang.
Hearing Yuan Shu orders to arrest Liu Mang, Lu Bu said this coldly “I want to see, who would dare to arrest him!”
“Fengxian You?!” Yuan Shu shocked to see Lu Bu's expression. “Lu Fengxian, what the hell you getting angry for? Isthis notjust a servant of yours?!” Yuan Shu thought.
“Yuan Gonglu, my visit here was just to borrow grain and provisions rather than talk about marriage matter. Hast thou forgotten about Han Yin?!”
TL: Han Yin, Yuan Shu's messenger. He came to Xu Province to make alliance with Lu Bu through marriage. But was killed due to intervention of Chen Gui and Chen Deng. For more complete information.
“Han Yin?!”Yuan Shu face started to look bleak. This year he sent a messenger to Lu Bu, discussing about marriage alliance. That messenger is Han Yin. It is a pity that this messenger actually was executed by Lu Bu.
“Moreover, Yuan Gonglu. The one who stands before you is the Han Dynasty Prince of Shu. Do you really have the audacity to arrest him?!” Lu Bu berated them.
“Prince of Shu?!” Yuan Shu look startlingly at Liu Mang. Although Yuan Shu have proclaimed himself as an Emperor but he also still have a fear of Han Dynasty. Otherwise Old Cao will not be able to annihilate him. After that, he himself also cannot show his face in public again.
“Correct, this is the Prince of Shu! His Emperor majesty bestowed him also General of Southern Expedition. His title is even above yours, Yuan Gonglu. And you actually said that he is a servant? In this nation, who dares to use him as a servant?!”
When hearing Lu Bu's rebuke, Yuan Shu's face is really red with anger. His anger even rises when he stroke his throne “Enough! Lu Fengxian, I asked you only this thing. Do you want to marry or not marry your daughter to my family?!”
“This Lu Fengxian's daughter already been betrothed to the Royal Prince of Shu, no second daughter to marry your son, Yuan Gonglu!” Lu Bu also glares angrily at Yuan Shu. 5000-shi grain to marry my daughter? What kind of offer is this? Do you, Yuan Gonglu, think everybody is a fool?
”Hey!” Liu Mang's heart cooling down a bit, but his mood is really not well.
Lu Fengxian, today you have to marry your daughter or else!” Old Yuan was angry and more determined to force Lu Bu to marry his daughter. Old Yuan then made a signal to his palace guards to surround Lu Bu and co.
“Yuan Gonglu, from the very beginning, I did not disrespect you even a bit, why should you start this now?!” Lu Bu said it with disdain tone. These people may not know about Lu Bu's prowess, but they heard about Lu Bu's participation in Hulao Gate. Only he can make the alliance of 18 warlords deadlock their advance and making all alliance warlords' faces becoming very bleak and pale.
Among those 18 warlords, Yuan Shu was one of them, so he felt the first-hand how terrifying Lu Bu can be. Lu Bu's army was stationed outside of Shouchun city. Even 100,000 troops of Cao army cannot hold them. There is no way those soldiers of Shouchun can protect this city if besieged, in addition Old Yuan's soldiers are all in no condition to fight, they are already old, weak, sick and disabled.
