Chapter 239 - Stakes (1/2)
Chapter 239 – Stakes (Continuation of Charisma)
“Hahaha, smart move, SMART MOVE!!! Made your subordinate get out of the danger zone!!! In this big tent, who can stop this mighty Wei Yan?!” Shouted Wei Yan with arrogant tone. Looking at both old and young generals exit the tent, made Wei Yan beaming with arrogance. Wei Yan is really a person who doesn’t know his place. This person want to display his might, want to climb to high place. If one said this kind of att.i.tude nicely, they will say “nice motivation”, if said it negatively “what a narcisstic p.r.i.c.k!!!”
“Stop you?!” Liu Mang smiled and continued “You want to leave? Just try it yourself.” Liu Mang just standing on one side with no change in his expression at all. His a.s.s is still hurting and no he cannot sit down. Wei Yan then lowered his voice “You really think I cannot force my way out?!” Wei Yan then began to move toward the bed post where his armor and guandao were placed. The expression on Liu Mang’s face made Wei Yan really sick of him. That face with no expression as if everything is in his hand, that kind of expression is an expression of disrespect to Wei Yan. Wei Yan disliked disrespect the most and Liu Mang made this kind of expression made him seething with anger. In the original history as well, Yang Yi gave him this kind of expression and unconsciously made himself to be Wei Yan’s archenemy.
Force your way out, eh? Thought Liu Mang and he give a very smug smirk. Liu Mang still not paying attention to Wei Yan. With face still expressionless, he just put out another external wound medicine pouch and heated it up under candlelight. This external wound medicine was named Jin Chuang Medicine (literal translation: Golden Medicine for Pain. TN: Pah, really mouthful). This Jin Chuang Medicine were created by boiling the material first then sealing the juice of raw material by using oil paper and roast it slowly until the it burned all out and become juicy paste. (TN: Really? no more explanation given for this meaningless trivia, I might as well a few words) [With that meticulous preparation, it is a very expensive medicine at this era and Liu Mang is willing to part with it easily.]
Wei Yan then growled again “I..TOLD..YOU!!!! DON’T…LOOK…DOWN…ON….ME!!!!!!!!!!!” Wei Yan got really angry, then his speed become really fast and even though his a.s.s is still bleeding but did not hinder his skill. Wei Yan quickly retrieved his armor and his guandao. At that time, Wei Yan may rush toward Liu Mang and make Liu Mang as his hostage in order for him to escape the tent. His movement in the big tent is so loud that it agitated Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng. Both of them also held contempt toward Wei Yan, so when there is a sound of metal clanging, they quickly rushed in.
“Anything wrong?!” Xu Shu said to himself and quickly rushed toward the tent. His speed is not as fast as those two generals as he wear scribe’s clothing (literal translation: long gown), but he managed to catch up with them and quickly enter the camp with Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng. Both of them then screamed “Little lord!!! Danger!!!!” They already saw Wei Yan has grabbed the hilt of his guandao and already armored up, currently he is walking toward Liu Mang. Wei Yan who is already halfway toward Liu Mang, stopped his steps and swallowed his saliva. Everything is f.u.c.ked up now, thought Wei Yan. Huang Zhong is unbeatable by himself and now there’s two. His plan for taking Liu Mang hostage fall apart and even if he increased his speed, he cannot match Huang Zhong who is already in front of Liu Mang. Right this time, Liu Mang speaks.
“Hey, who allowed you all come in?” Liu Mang said it, feeling annoyed. Liu Mang’s brow pressed tightly and said “Get out again. Now!!!”
“Little lord, this….!” Huang Zhong protested. Thought Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng That Wei Yan is started to be unruly and now little lord asked us to be outside again? What is little lord really thinking?”
“Come generals, Let us stay at outside!!!” Xu Shu voiced his opinion, because he saw Liu Mang is disturbingly really calm. Even though there are Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng protecting him, that Wei Yan already held his guandao, his lord should become at least slightly agitated but Xu Shu saw none of it on Liu Mang. Xu Shu’s guess now is right, his lord wants to subdue Wei Yan.
“Yes, sir!!!” Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng quickly retreated and the tent become peaceful again.
“Want to try again?” Said Liu Mang while smiling toward him. The Jin Chuang Medicine on Liu Mang’s hand already become hot due to roasting under candlelight.
“HUMPH!!!!” Wei Yan snorted coldly. Wei Yan was still stubborn. There is a gate G.o.d outside, Wei Yan did not dare to go out again, but Wei Yan still a prideful person, so can only snorted to Liu Mang. Wei Yan then growled again “What actually do you want to do?!” But right now he is like a sick tiger put into a cage, together with Liu Mang and if Liu Mang did not give him a satisfactory answer, that tiger will put everything to his attack and would rather die together.
“What I want to do? HAHAHAHAHA” Liu Mang replied while laughing heartily and continued “I don’t want to do anything to you. See, the gate is there, go out of your own convenience. Just promise me one thing, that you don’t create an exit by yourself, I will be most thankful for that. This tent was bought using money and if it is ripped open then my soldiers will spend a lot of time sewing up the tent.”
“You really are going to let me go?!” Replied Wei Yan curiously. Wei Yan is chewing Liu Mang’s words and according to him, Liu Mang’s words meant to let him go and not ripped open the tent. Liu Mang then responded “Heh, why would I want to keep you here?!” and showed an expression not caring at all. Liu Mang then continued “You see, the front door is there. You can just get out of here, no one will stop you!!!”
“But they….!!!” Wei Yan then pointed toward Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng. Liu Mang then said this in a toneless voice “Relax, they are my subordinate. I am their little lord and they will obey my words. You can leave any time!!!” Wei Yan then walked toward front door but when he lifted the cover, he saw Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng drawn their swords. The coldness it radiated were splendid. It made Wei Yan stopped his steps and said “Hrn?!” Liu Mang then turned his head toward the front door and waved his hand and said “Let him leave”
“Yes, sir!” Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng sheathed their swords and stand on the front door side. “Is he going to let me go?!” Wei Yan’s heart whispered while he continued his steps. When he just get out of the big tent, suddenly Liu Mang’s voice opened “Wait a minute!!!”
Wei Yan then turned back and laughing with disdainful face toward Liu Mang “HAHAHA, SEE!!!! I KNOW THAT YOU WILL NOT LET ME GO SO EASILY!!!! YOU, A LITTLE HYPOCRITICAL VILLAIN!!!!”
“Heh, then leave!!! Just leave anytime you want!!!” Said Liu Mang while he stretched out his hand and making gestures with his hand as if he is seeing a guest out and he continued “But before you go, let me put on some Jin Chuang Medicine for you!!! Although your punishment is of your own making, but I don’t want other people gossip that Liu Mang and Lu Bu army is a big bully.”
“Hrm?!” Wei Yan’s pressed his brow again. He really cannot discern whether this Prince of Shu is a medicine peddler or anything else. He not only let him go away, but he also want to paste the Jin Chuang Medicine on him? Wei Yan’s a.s.s is truly painful and it is no lie. He want to quickly left the camp and go find a good doctor and search for another Jin Chuang Medicine. But now Liu Mang himself want to give him, will the medicine be poisoned? Wei Yan felt skeptical.
“Don’t worry, I will not kill you!!!!” Said Liu Mang while smiling. Liu Mang then put down the Jin Chuang Medicine on the tea table. Liu Mang then continued “If I want to kill you, I can just order them directly!!! Why would I need the Jin Chuang Medicine to just do that?! This Jin Chuang Medicine is our army’s secret medicine!!! Killing you by poison, is just wasting precious resources!!!” Liu Mang’s recipe for his own Jin Chuang Medicine is really a top secret and the cost of making it, is really high. If he want to kill Wei Yan, he can just simply order Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng and be done with it, no need to trouble himself at all.
Liu Mang then do a hand gesture toward Wei Yan and said “Come back in!!!” With Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng are blocking Wei Yan’s way, he can only walk back into the tent. Wei Yan found himself silently agreeing with what Liu Mang just said. To kill him, Liu Mang won’t even need to poison him, he can just order both of them and be done with it. Wei Yan then reached the tea table. He really realized that if he did not use this Jin Chuang Medicine now, he will not be able to leave. So he just gritted his tooth and take it, even if it is poison, he will also need to take it.
Right here, all men. So Wei Yan pulled down his pants and quickly
applied the Jin Chuang Medicine to his a.s.s. The Jin Chuang Medicine already been roasted by Liu Mang using candlelight and already become a paste. Because Wei Yan were using it while standing, the paste is trickling down from his a.s.s. Then Wei Yan’s pupil enlarged suddenly, the paste still very hot, although if it contacted with regular skin, there will be no issue. But currently his a.s.s is really hurting, so, imagine for yourself how painful it is.
Seeing Wei Yan’s pupils enlarged, Xu Shu’s face changed. Is it really poison? No, it is not possible. Thought Xu Shu. Huang Zhong and Xu Sheng had used that Jin Chuang Medicine before, but Xu Shu not yet used, so it is not possible for him to know its effectiveness and its process on healing the wound.
Xu Sheng laughed out loud, he knew that Wei Yan will immediately paste the piping hot medicine paste to his a.s.s. Huang Zhong want to laugh as well but he restrained himself. Liu Mang then said to Xu Shu “See, he did not die!!!! Did not harm himself at all!!!” Liu Mang don’t want Xu Shu to misunderstand that Liu Mang is a foul person.
