Vol 1 Chapter 7 (2/2)

“I don’t have any strong feelings about that.” I said as I glanced at the Inspector’s room. “And isn’t she leaving tomorrow anyway? Just bear with it for now.”

I too had observed her actions this afternoon and besides some morally unrestrained acts, she didn’t engage in any wrongdoings and so I felt I had no reason to whip her. As for her personality, we just have to bear with it for a bit.

Of course, this was definitely not because I had some kind of ideas in my head so please don’t misunderstand.

“But for some reason, I keep getting an ominous feeling…” Yun Chang pondered with a frown. Just then a minor official came by.

“Oi! Come over here for a bit.”

On hearing me call him, the official jogged over.

“Un? What’s everyone doing here?”

“Maa, there’s something I want to ask…” Yi De said as she looked away. “What’s up with that Inspector? You’re an old hand here so tell us about her.”

“Lord Inspector? Isn’t she a pretty good person?” On mentioning the inspector, the official turned red instantly. “But Lord Liu, you really are lucky.”

“Eh? Lucky?”

I pointed at myself in confusion.

“Just one week after a.s.suming your role and it’s that Inspector who came. Judging from how it was this morning, she seems to favour you greatly so tonight she will most likely…”

“What?”

“Most likely what?!” Yun Chang asked with even greater anxiousness.

“That, that is, of course come to spend the night with you.”

On hearing that, I froze.

“Haa!?”

What kind of logic is this? And we only met once, could it be that love at first sight is real?

“Why does my big brother have to sleep with that b.i.t.c.h!”

“What is wrong with that woman! Why does our big brother have to sleep with her?!”

Similar words came from my angry little sisters, but why are these 2 so much more anxious than I am?

“General Guan, General Zhang, you all should have heard about bribing right.” The official said. Yi De and Yun Chang looked at each other and nodded. “Well then, that’s simple. Actually Lord Liu sleeping with the Inspector is a form of bribery, except you are giving your body instead of money.”

“”When is there such a thing!!”” This time it was the exact same words from both mouths.

“Isn’t it a good thing. That Inspector is so s.e.xy and beautiful. I would gladly offer myself up if I could.”

Why am I getting more and more scared the more I hear about this?

“Alright, go back to your business for now.” I quickly chased the official away as I could see my little sisters consumed by the flames of anger and was afraid he might be collateral damage.

“… I want to beat her up.” Yi De said in a low voice.

Ah… These words of Yi De are really dangerous and it feels like something is about to come true.

“No, we mustn’t use force as much as possible.” Yun Chang said as she ran her fingers through her hair. “But for the sake of protecting big brother, we have a duty to talk with her about this.”

Protect me? Protecting my virginity you mean?

“… Alright, I’ll do my best to solve this with words.” Yi De breathed in deeply, and out.

Just then, the Inspector’s room door opened and the still-sleepy inspector walked out.

Oh no, did she hear everything?

“Un?” She saw Yi De who was sitting on the stone rail outside her room and said completely without thinking, “Why is there a flat chest sitting here?”

Almost immediately I could hear the sound of a temple vein bursting.

“Escaping up to this far should be good enough.” I looked around and realised we couldn’t see Anxi county city anymore.

“Hai~~ In the end we resorted to violence.” Yun Chang rubbed her forehead. “Even though we agreed to use words to get our point across.”

“But, but… *s.h.i.+ku*… She said I was…” There were still trails of tears on Yi De’s face and she still hadn’t recovered from the trauma before. “And there was also a weapon lying conveniently around.”

“What is the matter? I was still having a nap when you all woke me up.” Only Hua Tuo was calm as she rubbed her eyes.

“… Hua Tuo, I have to ask. If I used such a thick whip on a person with barely any clothes, and in quick succession for over 10 times. How long will it take for that person’s wounds to recover?”

“Why are you asking this out of the blue? Un… Though there won’t be any issues, but such wounds would probably leave scars.”

Ah, that really is terrible.

Miss inspector, I’m so sorry. In a way, this could be said to be a necessary plot event. If I get another chance, sleeping together for one night is– No, nothing.

(TL: In the original, the inspector had been disrespectful to Liu Bei and had tried to get some commoners to accuse him of injustice and thus extract bribes from Liu Bei. These commoners refused and were whipped by the inspector. Zhang Fei got wind of this and whipped the inspector.)

“What now? We did manage to bring the few hundred troops we raised originally with us.” Yun Chang said to me.

I turned around to look, and saw familiar faces everywhere.

“We’ll do what we always have, walk first think–”

“Xuan De! ~~~~~”

“Un? Why do I hear someone calling me?”

“Xuan De? It really is you!” I looked back and saw a girl clad in white plate riding a white horse running over with a wide smile. The aura I felt from her was at complete odds with what she was wearing.

“You are…” She happily ran to me, and seemed to know me but I have no idea who she is.

“How could you have forgotten me? I’m Gong Sun Zan! Your childhood friend!”

(TL: In the original, they did study together as kids.)

“You are Gongsun Zan?!”

To think Gongsun Zan is a girl… Forget it, never mind.

“That’s right. Why, did I mature so much you couldn’t recognise me?”

“Haa…”

No, I really don’t know you. And speaking of maturity… You’re just like how you look, a young girl in her teens.

“Leave that aside first,” Her expression took a drastic turn very quickly. “Please help me Xuan De, I’m in trouble.”

“… I’ll ask first anyway, what is it?”

Upon hearing my question, Gongsun Zan’s tears streamed down.

“I’m being bullied by my brigadier general!”

On saying that, Gongsun Zan started wailing.

“… Oi oi oi.” I looked at her helplessly and couldn’t say a thing.

Though I don’t really know you, but being bullied by your subordinate to the extent that you’re crying is just… Too pathetic.

Un, I need to be a bit tactful in handling this.
