Don’t Tell Me This Is the True History of the Three Kingdoms! Vol 5 Chapter 36

Feng Xian POV

*Shiku*~ Haa…

I slowly took a sip of hot tea and exhaled as I sat in the room.

One really should drink more tea in winter. I don’t know what type this is but the taste is pretty good. When Meng Huo and the rest go and get the leaves, I should join them as well.

“Oi! Look over here, you!”

Un? The sound came from where Meng Tan was but it wasn’t Meng Tan’s voice. I looked over and saw Han Fu appearing out of nowhere and panting. Meng Tan was standing in front of him and held a sharp blade in his hands.

I don’t know when it happened but Meng Tan had grabbed that little la.s.s Mi Zhen and was holding the blade at her neck.

“Sister Gan~”

“Mi Zhen!”

Gan Qing extended her hand to Mi Zhen but Han Fu grabbed on to her and pulled her up instead and took a blade which he held at Gan Qing’s neck.

“Come men!!” At Han Fu’s orders, several big men with choppers in their hands came walking into the room. Just by looking at them, you could tell they weren’t good.

Oi oi oi… What the heck is going on now?

I was very surprised at this scene before me but understood what was going on after thinking back on everything that has happened so far.

Looks like we’ve fallen prey to a treacherous scheme and the Administrator wanted to eradicate us from the very beginning. I don’t know about the details behind everything but I understand what’s going on now.

*Shiku*~ I slowly took another sip of tea when I thought so.

“Oi! Do you know what kind of situation you’re in now huh!”

“Sister Lu!” Gan Qing cried out as Han Fu pressed his blade further against Gan Qing’s neck.

“Calm down! Don’t get agitated!” I thought calmly for a moment and remembered that there were several people who were not here, “Where is Wen Yuan and Lord Guan Yu?!”

“They are… Hmph! We killed them all already!”

“Is that so…” Un, just by looking at Han Fu’s anxious look and his shaking hands, I can tell that it’s impossible that Wen Yuan and Guan Yu have been killed.

Now then, what do we do? It just so happens that Meng Huo and the rest of the Nanman have gone out to play so it seems like only I and Hua Tuo are left.

“Hu… Hu… Lord Xuan De~ It’s been a while~”

“…”

Hua Tuo’s weak breathing and mumbling could be heard. Looks like I can only count on myself.

Then–

I downed the tea that had already cooled down in 1 gulp, tucked the little furball Red Hare into my clothing and stood up.

“Y-y-you! What are you doing?!”

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.
