Chapter 234 Recruitment Order Brings Misfortune (1)
The green armored warrior pointed at the white armored warrior unforgivingly. The white armored warrior exercised restrain. Meanwhile, Liu Mang and the Urban Army were watching from a side.
“What happened here? Excuse me.” Liu Mang squeezed through the crowd. Behind him, Huang Zhong was moving the other generals aside. His arm strength was not a joke. So even if there were people in front of Liu Mang, they would willingly give him s.p.a.ce. For those that weren’t willing to move, they would be thrown aside.
“What is going on here!” Liu Mang finally squeezed through and frowned. That is because this was one of the place Liu Mang’s army is providing food to the poor. Now, the food was thrown aside and made others feel uncomfortable. Liu Mang picked up a bread that was covered in dirt, wiped off the dirt, and bit into it. In this life, food was extremely precious.
“Where did you come from you feather haired boy?” The green armored warrior rudely shouted at Liu Mang. “Why do you care about what happened here?”
“How rude!” Huang Zhong frowned. He wanted to walk in front and teach the green armored man a lesson but Liu Mang stopped him. The green armored man is currently crazy. Liu Mang does not need to know what happened to know that he was the one that caused this situation. However, Liu Mang cannot allow Huang Zhong to act. If Huang Zhong were to act, they may be able to subdue this green armored warrior but how would the other people think? The recruitment order was to gather people and show them that he is worth serving and then put them under his command. If this guy was beaten up, people would think that they travel thousands of miles only to get beaten up. At that time, the reputation of his recruitment order would be destroyed.
“General!” The Urban Management Army who saw Liu Mang knelt.
“General!?” The surrounding people started to become excited. They initially thought that he was just a boy being nosy. That is because Liu Mang was wearing common clothes. They never expected him to be a general in the Liu Mang’s Army.
The funny thing was that this was the Urban Army which was led by Liu Mang. As a result, they preferred to call Liu Mang, ‘General’. If they were to encounter the Black Flag Army or Gan Ning’s Navy, they would be calling him Little Lord or Your Majesty!
These people were here because of the recruitment order and wanted to curry favour with Liu Mang or his generals. Since they cannot do that at the moment, they all quieted down.
“What happened here!” Liu Mang saw that the entire food stand was overturned.
“General! It is that tall man that overturned this food stand!!” The Urban Management soldiers reported to Liu Mang.
“Is that so?” Liu Mang cannot just listen to his soldiers so he turned and asked ‘that man.’ “You! Tell me what happened here!”
Liu Mang pointed at the ominous looking green armored warrior.
“Hmph! If it was not this soldier was such b.l.o.o.d.y sn.o.b, how would I overturn this food stand!” The green armored man was still shouted.
“Be a b.l.o.o.d.y sn.o.b?” Liu Mang’s eyes were fierce. When he gave the recruitment order, he wanted the poor and humble to become successful. If the people under him looked down on them, would anybody come back and work under Liu Mang in the future? What would be reason Liu Mang offend the n.o.bles then? Is it not to capture the hearts of the humble people? Some people say that obtaining the hearts of the n.o.bles meant obtaining the world. However, Liu Mang believed otherwise. This was something the ancestors learned in the 20th century!
If this was really the fault of the Urban Army, he would not mind punis.h.i.+ng them with military law. Although he treats the Urban Army kindly, he shows no mercy in managing the army.
“No! That is not it, General!” The Urban Army officer was alarmed. Before Liu Mang gave the recruitment order, he told his soldiers to treat the common people well and that among those common people, there were those with talent. Liu Mang was a person that was nice to talk to but the orders he implemented must be carried out without negligence. Otherwise, the military law would end up killing a lot of people. That is how the people recognized him as a general. When the Urban Army soldiers saw Liu Mang’s fierce eyes, they quickly knelt down in fear.
“Excuse me general. Allow me to say that it was indeed this green armored man that knocked over the food stall and that the soldiers did not neglect him.” The white armored warrior stood in front of Liu Mang and cupped his fist. In fact, this was also partly his fault.
“What do you mean they did not neglect! You pretty boy! Why do we only get bread while you get wine and meat! What else is this if not neglect?” The green armored warrior pointed and shouted at the white armored warrior. “Is he your father? Is that why he gave you good food?”
In fact, the white armored warrior actually did look very handsome. The only other handsome people Liu Mang has seen so far were Lu Bu, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Everybody else could not be compared to them. Even Liu Mang felt jealous. He was tall and handsome like a superstar.
“That’s right! That’s right!” A few more figures wearing green armor appeared. “If you admit that he is your father, I would not care about it!”
“Hmph! Yun advises you not to go too far!” The white armored warrior finally got angry and glared at the green eyes warrior. (TN: Meanwhile the translator is extremely happy that one of his favorite characters that was never an a.s.shole in any existing 3 Kingdoms story is finally appearing.)
“Murderous aura?” Liu Mang who has entered that path was quite sensitive to the murderous aura. This white armored warrior’s murderous aura was not fake. He has absolutely killed no less than a hundred lives.
“So what if I go too far?” The green armored warrior was not a vegetarian and does not care about the murderous aura of the white armored warrior. He was also an arrogant person and gave a ferocious look. His own murderous aura was not any weaker than the white armored warrior. On top of that, his body was also filled with bandit aura(?). He was a ferocious general. “You want to fight me? Come on! Use your silver spear and come at me!” The green armored warrior repeatedly provoked the white armored warrior and really made him angry. “In that case, do not blame Yun.” The spear flew forward like a phoenix.
(TN: Yes it says bandit aura 匪气 Btw this is murderous aura 杀气. And for the longest time (war with Sun Ce arc) I always thought it was their smell… as in body odour/ bad breath.)
“They are fighting already?” Liu Mang was shocked. They only needed to say a few sentences and explain the situation to Liu Mang. However, they suddenly started to fight and ignore him.
“I’m afraid you won’t do!” The white armored warrior quickly stabbed towards the green armored warrior. However, the green armored warrior did not panic. He pushed aside the spear with his broadsword while slas.h.i.+ng towards the white armored warrior.
(TN: There is a missing sentence in the middle saying that ‘His hands holding the broadsword are also not vegetarians.’, which I felt the need to share but not include in the translation.)
The white armored warrior was also surprised. He initially just wanted to teach this green armored warrior a lesson. So, he only attacked lightly but he did not expect to be counterattacked. Even a normal attack from the white armored warrior could not be countered so easily by an average person.
“Why did you attack so lightly! Is it because you did not drink enough milk when you are in your mother’s womb? Why don’t you go back and drink your aging mother’s milk before trying to fight me again!” Liu Mang also felt that the green armored warrior’s poisonous tongue was a talent. A talent to taunt.
(TN: Embryo’s drink ‘milk’ in the mother’s womb. Either the green armored guy is referring to that or he was particularly an idiot. By the way, the word was this 娘胎 if you want to confirm that it is mother’s womb. Remember. I am using a machine.)
