Vol 5 Chapter 36 (2/2)

What a lousy question to ask, and in such a weak voice too.

“Ha.” So that I wouldn’t wake Hua Tuo up, I lightly breathed out as I swiftly extended a hand and grabbed a spear from a nearby soldier who was still in a daze.

Ah.

“Ha!!” He cried out in surprise but still managed to hold on instinctively so I grabbed on and pushed back with full force.

He gave a useless moan and flew back, knocking down several rows of troops.

Is this the level of the troops in this city? I thought, ignored the rest of the ordinary troops and pointed the spear at Han Fu.

“Kuh! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, aren’t you afraid I’ll– Ka!!”

Han Fu clearly had more to say but I wasn’t listening. I grabbed onto the spear by its end and threw it out. The spear buried itself deeply into Han Fu’s hand which held the blade. While he was sill reeling from the pain, I flicked away Han Fu like a rag doll and he crashed into the wall.

“Gan Qing! Jump!”

“Eh?! Oh!”

I didn’t stop there, and under my instructions, Gan Qing jumped up with all she had, and I swept the spear under her and smashed into Meng Tan’s legs.

“Guaa!” Meng Tan yelled out as he lost his balance and let go of Mi Zhen in his panic before tumbling to the ground.

In just a few seconds, I have eradicated all dangerous elements.

See, Guan Yu, Wen Yuan. I told you both nothing would happen.

“You outrageous, brazen fiends!” Meng Tan began to curse and swear at us after he was unable to get up after trying a few times.

“As Liu Bei’s subordinate generals, letting you all go will only bite us and the Imperial Chancellor in the end. Moreover you all don’t even have the permits, what reason can there be to let you all through?!”

“Ha! What a joke!” I looked at Meng Tan with contempt. His gaze was filled with self-righteousness and his words did seem to make sense, but were they? Looks like I need to tell him what I think.

“Firstly, Cao Cao has allowed us to return so even if this decision does cause her issues later on, it is by her will. Secondly, the rule about requiring permits was set by your lord so we have no reason to comply.”

When I finished, he looked even more enraged. “You’re being unreasonable!”

“In troubled times like these, does reason still exist?! And is your treacherous scheme to destroy us reasonable then?! You’re ridiculous!” I couldn’t help but to yell at him when I heard his naive words, “We could have ended this nicely with words, or with swords if need be. I’m different from Guan Yu and Wen Yuan. When it comes to me, that’s there is to reason!”

At this, Meng Tan sank into silence, probably because he didn’t want to argue any further.

But that was enough.

“La.s.ses, take Hua Tuo out with you. Follow Meng Huo and the other Nanman when you see them.”

Gan Qing seemed to have something to say but when she saw my expression, she stopped and only asked about Mi Zhen before she dragged Hua Tuo, who was soundly asleep, out of the residence.

Next is…

I looked at the 2 men on the ground who had more or less given up and raised a broadsword I picked up off the ground.
