My Father in Law is Lu Bu

Chapter 686

Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and Han Dang have surrendered. Jiangdong’s civil and military officials were now in Liu Mang’s hands. Liu Mang already gained a lot. All that is left is to wait for Sun Ce and Sun Quan’s battle to end.

The battle at Huiji continued as corpses piled up below the city walls. Every day, people had to be dispatched to dispose of the corpse. Since they did not have enough manpower, they could only burn it.

The corpses on the walls were even easier to deal with and some of the corpse had fallen into the moat, building a bridge.

The city walls of Huiji was completely covered red.

Both sides were now fighting without any skills or tactics. Sun Ce’s troops would advance up the walls every day and start killing regardless of whether the opponents were acquaintances.

Sun Ce’s army of fifty thousand now only had about twenty thousand. Sun Quan was not in any better condition. Though the common people could be used as cannon fodder, he would need his own elites to actually push back Sun Ce’s elites. In fact, there were times where the common people were a burden instead. This is because the common people would withdraw in fear and break formation.

That was also why in the past few days, Sun Quan did not smile at all.

At the South Gate, Zuo Li’s treasured son Zuo Jie was patrolling the walls of the South Gate in a general’s clothing. Though the main battle was going on at the North Gate, the South Gate wasn’t entirely quiet. On top of that, Zuo Jie’s presence would boost morale.

“Yang Kui. You did well. I will definitely report this to my father!” Zuo Jie said in satisfaction. The person in charge was Zuo Jie’s father, Zuo Li. Though Yang Kui, or rather, Lu Su, was talented, Sun Quan still haven’t put him in an important position. This is because they needed to survive this ordeal first. As a result, Yang Kui was assigned to be Zuo Li’s subordinate. As Zuo Li has gone back to rest, Yang Kui was ordered to take charge. Zuo Jie was also around since Yang Kui had no authority to give order to the soldiers.

“This is just my job.” Yang Kui replied humbly.

Zuo Jie was enjoying Yang Kui’s deferential behavior. After all, he was suppressed by Yang Kui up until this point.

“Sigh! When would this end?” Zuo Jie grumbled. With Huiji besieged, Zuo Jie had nowhere to go to play.

Lu Su couldn’t help but agree. “That’s right. It would be good if this all ends soon. That way, we can start relaxing and have love affairs.”

Hearing this, Zuo Jie’s eyes glinted. He looked at Lu Su and could not help but laugh. “It seems that you also like this kind of stuff.” As one would say, a wife is not as good as a concubine and a concubine is not as good as what you take by force. That is why Zuo Jie still does all these despite having a wife.

“Are there no guys who would not like this?” Lu Su replied with a smile.

Zuo Jie nodded. “True.” They are all guys. They all think with their lower half. “But Master Yang Kui. With your face, will anyone be willing to serve you?” Zuo Jie said with genuine pity. Lu Su may look like a strong man but it was a pity that his face was useless.

“Haha. If I go to those places, will anyone care about my face? It would be fine as long as I have money. If they are still unwilling then I just need to pay more. They would finally agree after a while.” Lu Su said nonchalantly.

“Brother Yang. That’s not good. It would be meaningless if you spend money!” Zuo Jie said from the position of an experienced person.

“Oh? Then I would need Young Master Zuo to teach me.” Lu Su said with interest as he continued to talk to Zuo Jie until it was dark.

The moment Zuo Jie left, Yang Chen spat. Zuo Jie was a useless waste. He only became their boss due to his family’s influence. How could Yang Chen feel comfortable with this?

“Brother. How about we leave quickly?” Yang Chen said to Lu Su. They came to Jiangdong so that they could give Jiangdong away to Yangzhou. This have already been accomplished since Liu Mang’s troops were already stationed at Jianye and Sun Ce was carrying Yangzhou’s banner.

“No. We cannot leave yet. Our mission is not yet accomplished.” Lu Su shook his head. It was easy to leave now but Huiji still belonged to Sun Quan and the battle was in a stalemate. Sun Ce may not be able to win this. At the very least, Yangzhou’s army may need to get involved. At that time, there would be many casualties. That was why Lu Su intends to make Huiji fall from the inside. It would be a waste if Lu Su does nothing now that he was already inside the city.

“Then let us send a letter to Sun Ce’s army and tell them to attack the gate.” Yang Chen said to Lu Su.

Lu Su laughed bitterly. “How can it be so simple? First of all, they won’t believe it. Even if they do, we cannot open the gate. Zuo Jie may be a fool but his father is intelligent. Lu Su was not given any military authority at all. The most he could do was assist Zuo Jie and command the common people to strengthen the defenses. If they wanted to open the gates from the inside, they would probably get arrested before they could do anything. ＲÄNǑꞖĚṣ

“But if we just wait, we also would not be able to take the city. Zuo Li is holding on firmly to the military authority. Brother, you will not be able to obtain it.” Yang Chen advised. This is because Lu Su have already sacrificed a lot to obtain Jiangdong. There was also the fact that the soldiers here would only listen to Zuo Li.

“No. The soldiers do not only listen to Zuo Li.” Lu Su shook his head.

“Hm?” Yang Chen furrowed his brows in confusion for a moment before he understood. “Brother. Do you mean…?”

“These are all the Zuo Family’s troops. The only ones that can command them are Zuo Li and Zuo Jie.” Lu Su said to Yang Chen. He was planning to act at Zuo Jie’s side since Zuo Jie was easier to deal with compared to his father.

After two days, the Sun Ce’s army was no longer attacking as fiercely. After all, Sun Ce’s men were people too. They too, can get exhausted. This also gave the rebel army some time to rest.

As Zuo Li was old, he was no longer as energetic as before. When the enemy wasn’t attacking, he would go back to his room to rest, and leave his son in charge.

“Brother Yang.” After a few days of talking with Yang Kui about romantic affairs, Zuo Jie now felt close to Yang Kui.

“Young Master.” Lu Su cupped his fist.

“Come! Come! Brother Yang, today there is time! Let us continue our discussion from that day!” Zuo Jie said to Yang Kui. While other nobles pursued knowledge, this Zuo Jie went and visited most of the brothels.

“Let me tell you. Do you know the brothel in Jingzhou? That place was really Heaven on earth!” Zuo Jie started to talk.

Lu Su simply listened lightly and complimented as needed. Young Master Zuo Jie, you really have been to such a place. Then Zuo Jie would nod and reply to the compliment. Of course, this Young Master would do this and that.

After several days, the two of them became very close.

“Brother Yang. Once this war is over, I will take you to that place in Jingzhou. I will show Brother Yang the joys of the brothel.” Zuo Jie said generously.

“Young Master. Do you want this war to end faster?” Lu Su suddenly asked.

“Nonsense. Who doesn’t want the war to end faster?” Zuo Jie immediately replied and then became vigilant. Though Zuo Jie was unreliable, he was still aware that they had to defend Huiji. It is why he was at the walls in his armor. Zuo Jie was there to boost morale.

“What do you want to do? What is your motive?” Zuo Jie said as he looked at Lu Su vigilantly.

“Haha, Young Master. What else can I do? I just want to let you be able to enjoy your romantic affairs earlier! If I had a motive then it would be for the Young Master to take me to Jingzhou’s brothel!” Lu Su said with a yearning expression.

“True.” Zuo Jie nodded. He has been feeling bored for a long time. “All of this is because of that damn Sun Ce. If only he did not attack my Huiji!”

“That’s right. That is why we need to quickly defeat Sun Ce’s troops. That way, the siege on Huiji would end. If Sun Ce continues to surround us, this would never end!” Lu Su said to Zuo Jie.

“Yes! We have been attacked continuously by that whelp Sun Ce! Why can’t we strike back? We have more men than Sun Ce!” The incompetent Zuo Jie said in agreement. It was true that they had more in numbers but he had forgotten that his ‘men’ were just common citizens while the other side were all elite soldiers. The number of troops in Zuo Jie’s hands were thirty thousand. However, only three thousand were actually capable of fighting. The remaining twenty seven thousand were all cannon fodder.

“Young Master. We just need to go out and defeat Sun Ce then the siege at Huiji will end. Young Master would then be able to go out and enjoy himself and I would be able to accompany you. On top of that, Governor Zuo would have newfound respect for you. You would even be able to show your outstanding talent to the Lord. The Lord might even make you governor of a province!” Lu Su continued to incite Zuo Jie to attack. That way, Zuo Jie would abandon the safety of the walls. Without the walls, Sun Quan’s army was as good as dead.

“I don’t want to be a governor! I want to be a general commanding the army! That is more impressive! I want to be able to kill whoever I want! And if I want someone, the soldiers can help me kidnap them!” Zuo Jie started to daydream.

“Young Master. Right now, Governor Zuo has thirty thousand men. When we are besieged it is still you who commands them. If you manage to save Huiji from the siege, wouldn’t all these soldiers become yours? You would become Jiangdong’s Grand General!” Lu Su continued to entice.

“Grand General?” Zuo Jie’s eyes lit up.

“Young Master. Do you still remember the time we went to Zhou Yu’s residence? If you can break the siege, Zhou Yu’s position would become yours. You would basically become Jiangdong’s Grand Governor. At that time, I would be relying on you to give me a position!”

“You are not lying to me? I will become Grand Governor?” Zuo Jie envied Zhou Yu. Though Zhou Yu is of the same age, Zhou Yu was someone even his father had to salute. On the other hand, Zuo Jie feared his father. He would turn silent the moment his father shout at him. If he became the Grand Governor, his father would no longer dare to shout at him.

“How could I, Yang Kui, lie to you? I can even swear to the Heavens!” Lu Su replied. He did not lie as Sun Quan would really give this position to Zuo Jie in the event that Zuo Jie managed to solve the current predicament.

“But! Father said we cannot dispatch troops out. We just need to guard the city walls.” Zuo Jie hesitated. His father gave explicit orders that the soldiers were not to venture away from the walls. On top of that, Zuo Jie would not be needed during battle. Zuo Jie simply needed to wear his armor and show his face.

Lu Su saw Zuo Jie hesitated and panicked a little. “Young Master, I said something unpleasant, don’t listen to me.”

“Brother Yang and I are close, there is no harm in saying anything!” Zuo Jie replied generously.

“Young Master. Governor Zuo is already an old man. He is no longer energetic. On top of that, if Governor Zuo could have found a way out of this, he wouldn’t have been a governor in the first place. He may have even become the Grand Governor instead.” Lu Su said. He was basically telling Zuo Jie that his father was incapable. That was why Zuo Jie’s father was only a governor at most.

“Then Brother Yang has a way out of this?” Zuo Jie asked, still lacking in confidence.

“Of course!” Yang Kui nodded.

“Then why does Brother Yang not do it yourself?” Zuo Jie may have a weak head but he was not that stupid.

“Young Master. I only brought one servant with me when choosing to serve the Lord. Even if I have a stratagem, I would still need men!” Lu Su complained.

Lu Su only had Yang Chen with him. How could they even defeat an army on their own?

“Then you can go and speak to the Lord!” Zuo Jie replied to Lu Su.

“Tell the Lord? If the East Expedition General bothered listening to my master’s words, we would have already defeated the army outside.”

“Yang Chen! Shut up!” Lu Su’s expression changed as he turned to Yang Chen.

“Master! I must still say it! If it is not because of that villain surnamed Zhang, you would not be in this situation. If it was not because of that villain, the one commanding the men at the North gate would be you!” Yang Chen shouted loudly. Lu Su quickly covered Yang Chen’s mouth and prevented him from speaking more.

“Young Master. This is because this subject Yang is not good at instructing his subordinates and caused the Young Master to be ridiculed.” Lu Su quietly apologized to Zuo Jie.

“Mm! Mm!” Yang Chen continued to struggle until he was slapped by Lu Su.

“You still refuse to shut up? Do you want us both to die? Do you not know that if that person hears you, we would both suffer?” Lu Su said before Yang Chen finally shut up.

“Young Master. Please keep his words a secret. Otherwise, the two of us, master and servant would…” Lu Su said and then sighed.

“Don’t worry, Brother Yang. I will definitely keep this a secret!” Zuo Jie said while pondering about those words. The person surnamed Zhang must be Zhang Zhao who was by Sun Quan’s side. Yang Kui and Zhang Zhao must be opposing each other. Zuo Jie started to think like a tactitian.

Zuo Jie himself knew that Yang Kui had ability. Otherwise, Yang Kui would not have been able to sneak into Zhou Yu’s residence and escaped unscathed. This kind of person would normally be by Sun Quan’s side. So it was quite possible that Zhang Zhao excluded him, causing Yang Kui to be dissatisfied. He thought about it and saw that Yang Kui really had no authority at the South Gate. Zuo Jie nodded, feeling that such a thing might have really happened.

Zuo Jie’s thoughts were almost correct. The only thing is that Zhang Zhao did not actually excluded Yang Kui. If Zhang Zhao wanted to exclude Yang Kui, Yang Kui would not even be at the South Gate. Yang Kui was placed here by Zhang Zhao in order to give suggestions to Zuo Li. Unfortunately, Zuo Li was cautious, fearing that Yang Kui would steal away his military authority. That was why Lu Su was not given any authority at all.

“Since the Young Master have already heard it, I would not hide it anymore. That surnamed Zhang is afraid that I would become the Lord’s trusted aide because of my talents. That is why he refused to give me an opportunity give stratagems. I refuse to stick by his side which is why I am here as Young Master’s subordinate. If I were to speak my stratagem, then even when the siege is over, I would not gain any contribution! Instead of being taken advantage of that surnamed Zhang, I might as well tell Young Master. I am sure you will not disappoint me.” Lu Su praised Zuo Jie, making Zuo Jie feel ecstatic.

“When the Young Master becomes the Grand Governor, I, Yang Kui can just be a military officer or an advisor. I will assist you by your side. Who cares about the Zhang Family? The Zuo Family will be number one in Jiangdong!” Lu Su continued to entice. Becoming Grand Governor and on top of that, have their family in a dominant position in Jiangdong was very attractive.

“Brother Yang. No. Master Yang Kui. Do you have complete certainty that you can do it?” Zuo Jie asked with interest.

“Eighty… No. I have seventy percent certainty that I could do it!” Lu Su replied.

“Master?” Yang Chen did not understand. Zuo Jie already seemed interested so why not say one hundred percent? Wouldn’t this way reassure Zuo Jie that he could get what he want? What Yang Chen did not know was that Lu Su purposefully gave a small number because there was only two possibilities when someone gave a hundred percent certainty. The first was when the task is extremely simple. The other is that this is a trap.

Zuo Jie may not be that intelligent but he was not extremely stupid. He was at least smart enough to not get scammed by others so easily. Had Lu Su said one hundred percent, he would have judged that Lu Su was trying to cheat him. After all, if it were so simple, Sun Ce would have been defeated long ago by others. At that time, Zuo Jie would simply get his men to arrest Lu Su.

However, Lu Su said eighty percent before correcting himself to seventy percent. This made Zuo Jie more confident that Lu Su was not trying to cheat him. It was possible that Lu Su was telling the truth.

A seventy percent odds of success was still quite high. It was high enough to arouse Zuo Jie’s interest. However, Zuo Jie was still not satisfied as he was afraid of that thirty percent.

This really showed how contradictory people were. On one hand, Zuo Jie hoped that for a one hundred percent odds of success but on the other hand, he did not want one hundred percent because it would mean that Lu Su was lying to him.

“Master Yang Kui. How about we inform father?” Zuo Jie hesitated. This was an important matter that required genuine ability. That was why Zuo Jie wanted to inform his father first to make a decision.

Naturally, Lu Su could not agree to this. If Zuo Li finds out, Lu Su’s plan would be in ruins. Even if Zuo Li could not see through Lu Su’s schemes, this would be reported to Zhang Zhao. At that time, everything would be finished.

Lu Su was extremely anxious but he still showed a calm expression. After thinking for a while, he pulled Zuo Jie’s hand. “Young Master. You can go and tell Governor Zuo.”

Zuo Jie nodded and was about to leave when Lu Su added.

“Ah. It is such a pity. The Grand Governor’s position would then belong to Governor Zuo! Then again it would not be too bad. Since Governor Zuo and the Young Master are from the same family, you would also rise together with the tide. The Zuo Family would still become number one in Jiangdong and the Young Master would become the future patriarch of the Zuo Family.” Lu Su said while observing Zuo Jie’s reaction.

As expected, Zuo Jie nodded. Doesn’t his father’s things belong to him too? Reporting to his father would be safer.

“The Second Master could also be in the spotlight. Whatever happens, he could join the army. Young Master, I heard the Second Master loves reading books and conducts himself well. Governor Zuo always praises him.” Lu Su purposefully say.

“The Second Master?” Zuo jie’s eyes narrowed. Zuo Ren may be Zuo Jie’s little brother but their relationship weren’t very good. This is because they were half brothers. Zuo Li’s main wife had no children but the two side wives had one child each and raised their own children.

While Zuo Jie was incompetent, Zuo Ren was an obedient child who loves to read. Zuo Li even wanted to send Zuo Ren off to the Lumen Academy in Jingzhou.

Zuo Jie’s only advantage over Zuo Ren was his age. That was why Zuo Li placed Zuo Jie by his side. Once Zuo Ren grows up, Zuo Ren would take over his place.

If Zuo Jie became the Grand Governor, he could still give his little brother benefits. However, if his father were to become the Grand Governor, based on Zuo Li’s attitude, Zuo Ren would get most of the inheritance rather than Zuo Jie. No one would like their things get taken by others.

“Master Yang Kui. Since my father is tired, I think it would be best to let him rest. Let me handle this small matter myself.” Zuo Jie finally said. Hearing this, Lu Su smiled.

“Is the Young Master not going to discuss this with Governor Zuo anymore? This matter would be consequential!” Lu Su purposefully said.

“No need. My father is getting old, I should let him relax.” Zuo Jie said.

“But…” Lu Su still wanted to say something but was stopped.

“I said there is no need. Just listen to me in this matter!”

“Alright. In that case, I will listen to the Young Master.” Lu Su nodded while looking as though he was at a loss. However, Lu Su was smiling in his heart.

“Master Yang Kui. Tell me what should we do?” Zuo Jie already had a firm resolution to chase Sun Ce away.

“Young Master. Now is not the right time.” Lu Su replied.

“Oh?”

“Young Master. It is still bright. If we go out now, the enemy would easily see us. At that time, we would not be able to move freely.” Lu Su explained.

“Are you saying we should act at night?” Zuo Jie furrowed his brows. They would not be able to see at night so they might end up killing their own men.

“Don’t worry, Young Master. Have you noticed the changes at Sun Ce’s camp?” Lu Su said as he pointed at Sun Ce’s camp.

“Changes?” Zuo Jie furrowed his brows. He could not see anything different. The other side was just cooking food before attacking. However, Zuo Jie still nodded. “There is a change.” Zuo Jie lied to pretend that he has the same thoughts as Lu Su.

Lu Su naturally knew what Zuo Jie was thinking of. If Zuo Jie could actually figure out what was happening on his own, then he would not be incompetent. At that time, Lu Su would need to fear for his own safety. Lu Su did not bother to expose Zuo Jie. “Young Master is talented. There are less fires on the other side now. This means that the defenses are weaker. What do you think would happen if we sneak over there and attack at night?” Lu Su asked.

“The defenses are weak? A night raid?” Zuo Jie eyes slowly lit up as he thought about it. They could get good results if they were to attack at night. “Master Yang Kui. You want to attack at night?”

“The Young Master is a great talent.” Lu Su smiled and nodded.

If this strategy was successful, they could really break the siege.

“Master Yang Kui. How many men do you need?” Zuo Jie asked as he nervously looked at Lu Su. They only have thirty thousand men. On top of that, only three thousand were elites. He was afraid that Lu Su would take away all their men and sacrifice the defenses. If they were to lose on top of that, they would be finished.

Lu Su quietly raised three fingers.

“Thirty thousand?” Zuo Jie was shocked. It would be a crushing defeat if they were to lose so Zuo Jie hesitated to sacrifice his life.

“No, no.” Lu Su shook his head. “It is not thirty thousand but three thousand!” Thirty thousand soldiers? Are you kidding? Though Lu Su could win with thirty thousand men, it is not a victory that he wants. If Sun Ce’s Army is wiped out, they would need to fight against Yangzhou next. That was why Lu Su only needed three thousand.

“Three thousand?” Zuo Jie still felt distressed. He was not willing to part with the three thousand elites.

“Of course, it is not three thousand elites. I only need five hundred elites and the rest can be the ordinary soldiers.” Lu Su laughed.

“Five hundred! Why not take more with you?” Zuo Jie was not satisfied. How could you fight with only five hundred elites?

“No need. Five hundred is enough.” Lu Su smiled and then pointed at Zuo Jie. “The Young Master just needs to wait in the city for my good news.”

“Then I will rely on you!” Zuo Jie felt relieved since he did not need to do anything himself while Lu Su only asked for five hundred elites. Even if they were wiped out, it would not be too severe and if they were to win, Zuo Jie would gain benefits.

Lu Su nodded back. Soon, it was night. The clouds had also blocked the moonlight, making it suitable for a night raid.

Three thousand men had long been prepared. Amongst them were the people Zuo Jie had bought over. “Master Yang Kui. I will be relying on you. If… If it is not possible, please protect yourself.”

“Don’t worry, Young Master. We will definitely win this battle.” Lu Su also seemed touched.

“Move out!” Just as Lu Su and the others were about to leave, they were stopped at the gates.

“Stop! Who are you? Do you all not know that the city gates is an important location that no one can simply approach?” The officer at the gates said to Lu Su and Yang Chen.

Lu Su turned to Yang Chen and nodded. “We are ordered by Young Lord Zuo to go out for an important task. Quickly open the gates. Can you bear the consequences for delaying important matters?”

“Hmph! I don’t care which Young Lord Zuo you are talking about. Governor Zuo had already given the order not to open the gates for anyone.” The gatekeeper replied unyieldingly.

“What if we go through by force?” Yang Chen asked.

“Then you will have to ask my sword!” The gatekeeper and his subordinates all took out their weapons.

“Young Master, look. There are people who don’t give you face!” Lu Su said to Zuo Jie.

Zuo Jie’s expression turned cold. Normally, he would not care but earlier, he was provoked by the mention of his little brother. As a result, he was angry at the gatekeeper.

“Who is that? You cannot approach!” The gatekeeper and the subordinates behind him took out bows. “If you continue to approach, I will shoot!”

“Brother?” Yang Chen looked at Lu Su, questioning if he should step forward to protect Zuo Jie. It wouldn’t be good if Zuo Jie were to die here.

“No!” Lu Su shook his head. “Our Young Master will not let himself die.”

“Haha! Cheng Hu! I dare you to shoot!” Zuo Jie said angrily.

“Young Master?” The gatekeeper, Cheng Hu, originally worked for the third wife and her son Zuo Ren. He was transferred here because of the current situation. However, Cheng Hu still recognized Zuo Jie.

“What? You still remember that there is this Young Master here? Aren’t you Ren’s subordinate? And here I thought you no longer care that I exist!” Zuo Jie said.

“No! I don’t dare!” Cheng Hu could barely speak. It was night so why is someone like Zuo Jie not sleeping yet? That was also why Cheng Hu said those words earlier. He was just airing out his complaints.

“Even when I forgive you, you do not dare. Quickly open the gates!” Zuo Jie snorted coldly.

“Young Master. I can’t do that! The Master said no one can open the gates without his explicit orders!” Cheng Hu still followed Zuo Li’s orders.

“Not even for me?” Zuo Jie sneered.

“This… Ah!” Cheng Hu hesitated. At that moment he was suddenly kicked by Zuo Jie and fell down in pain. Zuo Jie may be a failure but he was still quite well built.

“Leader?” A few of the soldiers behind Cheng Hu quickly stepped forward trying to support him but Cheng Hu stopped them.

“So? Are you going to open the gates?” Zuo Jie sneered and asked again.

“Young Master. The Master said… Ah!” Cheng Hu could not finish speaking before he was kicked again.

“Young Master. That’s enough. At worst, we just don’t go.” Lu Su said from behind Zuo Jie. His words only served to increase Zuo Jie’s anger.

“Cheng Hu! Let me tell you! Today, this gate will open whether you like it or not. If you do not open this gate, my father may forgive you. However, I will not let you go! It would be easy if I want to crush you!” Zuo Jie said angrily towards Cheng Hu.

“I… I…” Cheng Hu was in a difficult spot. His original order was to keep the gates closed with his life. Yet, Zuo Jie wants him to open the gates and would kill him if he refused. He would be dead either way.

“General. There is no need for this! Our Young Master here has military affairs that needs to be done. Otherwise, he would not be here. We won’t make things hard for you. Let us pass and if anything happens, the Young Master will take responsibility. You will be innocent. We will go and return swiftly. It won’t take long.” Lu Su said to the Cheng Hu.

“This…” Cheng Hu was moved.

“So you really don’t fear death?” Zuo Jie was about to kick him again when Cheng Hu suddenly shouted.

“No! No! Men! Open the gates!” Cheng Hu was really afraid.
