My Father in Law is Lu Bu

Sun Ce’s eyes grew wide as Zhou Yu suddenly rushed towards him and pushed him away.

The arrow struck Zhou Yu’s heart.

“Gongjin!” Sun Ce quickly ran towards Zhou Yu and supported Zhou Yu from falling.

“My… Milord… Care…ful…” Zhou Yu’s chest was covered with blood. Blood was also flowing down his mouth.

“Grand Governor!” The men Zhou Yu brought over quickly surrounded Zhou Yu to protect him.

“Sun Quan Sun Zhongmou!” Sun Ce turned his head and glared angrily at his brother.

“Brother. It’s not me!” Sun Quan tried to explain.

“Hahaha! Even if I can’t kill Sun Ce Sun Bofu! I can still kill Zhou Yu!” Xu Gong laughed savagely. He did not even put down the bow in his hand. Though Sun Ce had destroyed the ballista, they still had normal bows. As a noble of Jiangdong, Xu Gong was naturally capable of using bows. He took action on his own because he was afraid that Sun Quan would really let Sun Ce go. He wanted Sun Ce to die, not abdicate.

Normally, Sun Ce would not have been hit. But he let his guard down after suffering from the shock of Sun Quan’s betrayal. He did not even bother to take his Overlord Spear as he left. That was how Xu Gong succeeded in attacking him.

What Xu Gong did not expect was for Zhou Yu to shield Sun Ce. Though Xu Gong felt regret for not being able to kill Sun Ce, he also hated Zhou Yu. This is because it was Zhou Yu’s intelligence network that caught him trying to send a letter to Xudou, which resulted in his family being wiped out.

“Xu Gong! I will kill you!” Sun Ce’s eyes turned red.

“Second Lord! Save me!” Xu Gong immediately became afraid and pleaded. Though he wanted revenge, he also did not want to die right after taking revenge.

Sun Quan did not act. Besides that, his men also did not allow Xu Gong to approach Sun Quan no matter how much Xu Gong cried out for help.

“Second Lord! The both of us share fortune and misfortune together! I am Lord Cao’s envoy! If I die, how will you explain this to Lord Cao?”

Sun Quan furrowed his brow at this since killing Xu Gong would be offending Cao Cao.

“Besides that, Second Lord. Zhou Yu will not survive. You also know Sun Ce’s relationship with Zhou Yu! My death is trivial but what do you think will happen once Sun Ce goes back on his word and takes out his anger on you?” Xu Gong added. Sun Quan was already having trouble dealing with Yangzhou. Though he was shameless enough to ally himself with Jingzhou, he was not shameless enough to seek help from Jingzhou. On top of that, Liu Biao was also powerless to defend himself. Because of this, Sun Ce had to abdicate.

“Second Lord! Once you kill Sun Ce, Lord Cao will definitely commend you! At that time, getting promoted will not be a problem!” Xu Gong enticed Sun Quan.

Sun Ce became angrier. He handed over Zhou Yu to Zhou Yu’s subordinates and then walked towards Xu Gong with a sword in hand.

“Brother. You cannot kill Xu Gong.” Sun Quan stepped in front of Sun Ce to stop him.

“Sun Zhongmou! Even you want to stop me?” Sun Ce glared at his brother. “That man lying over there is Gongjin! It is your brother Zhou Yu!” Sun Ce said.

“Brother Zhou Yu.” Sun Quan also felt a little depressed. It was true that Zhou Yu treated him well. Aside from matters regarding Jiangdong’s authority, Zhou Yu had shown a lot of consideration for Sun Quan.

“Brother. We still cannot kill him!” Sun Quan still shook his head. “Jiangdong can only continue to exist if he survives. Otherwise, we will get annexed by Liu Mang without having a chance to retaliate.

“Haha! Sun Ce! Come and kill me!” Xu Gong continued to shout from behind Sun Quan.

“Haha. I understand now!” Sun Ce pointed at Sun Quan. “Zhongmou. Master Zijiang is right. You will scheme to rule! It is in your nature to be a ruler! However, you are a terrible little brother!” This was the description that Xu Shao Xu Zijiang had given to Sun Quan. To become a ruler is to be cold blooded and ruthless.

“Sun Quan Sun Zhongmou! You cannot stop me! I will kill whoever who tries!” Sun Ce said to Sun Quan.

“Brother. You really must not kill Xu Gong!” Sun Quan insisted. His men already stood in front of him with their swords ready.

“Protect the Lord!” Aside from the few protecting Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu’s men also moved in front of Sun Ce.

“You really want to stop me? My good little brother!” Sun Ce asked again. He really hoped his little brother would step aside.

“Brother! You must not kill him!” Sun Quan said again. Sun Ce only had about three men with him while Sun Quan had more than a dozen men.

“Haha! Sun Ce! Come and kill me! I want to see how you intend to kill me with so little men!” Xu Gong continued to provoke. Sun Quan did not speak but his troops already showed his stance. They would not attack Sun Ce but they also would not allow Sun Ce to kill Xu Gong.

“Is it a problem with numbers?” Sun Ce said as he looked at Sun Quan. Sun Quan also seemed approach this situation naturally due to having more soldiers with him.

“Pass down my orders! Any who stop me will die!” Sun Ce raised his hand. His voice echoed through the woods.

“Sun Ce! Do you still think you have military authority?” Xu Gong said coldly. Yet before he could truly smile, his expression suddenly froze.

Countless arrows suddenly flew out from behind the trees as countless more black clothed men appeared.

“What!?” Sun Quan was shocked. There was another group? Before this, Xu Gong was hiding, followed by Sun Quan. Now there was a third group?

“Brother?” Sun Quan looked back at Sun Ce.

“Come out!” Sun Ce shouted towards the trees as more people appeared. Sun Quan’s expression turned even uglier. Most of these places were very near them yet no one noticed this. There was no other choice but to say that Sun Quan’s men had failed to carry out their duties.

“Milord! We apologies for being late!” Two warriors, Lu Meng and Ling Cao appeared and knelt in front of Sun Ce.

“Stand up. You two bear no fault.” Sun Ce replied.

“Where were you all hiding? How could this be?” Xu Gong could not believe his eyes. He knew Sun Quan’s men were behind him but he never expected Sun Ce’s men to also be following them. If that was the case, why would these people not appear when Sun Ce was in danger?

“That is because the Lord did not allow us to come out! If he did, you would have already died several times!” Ling Cao glared at Xu Gong. Ling Cao did not know who Xu Gong was but he was able to say Xu Gong’s name. This showed that Ling Cao had been hiding for a long time. In that period of time, he failed to show his restraint and almost charged out. Fortunately, he was restrained by Lu Meng. They were told not to act until ordered.

“Is this your scheme?” Sun Quan looked at his brother in shock.

“Scheme? Hahaha.” Sun Ce laughed loudly. “I, Sun Ce Sun Bofu, would never scheme against my own relatives! Have you ever seen a brother than scheme against his own little brother?” Sun Ce mocked.

It is not that there were no brothers that schemed against each other. However, those cases were different. The children were raised as enemies. The side that loses were killed so there was no affection.

On the other hand, Sun Ce and Sun Quan lost their fathers at a young age. Sun Ce then acted as a father figure to raise Sun Quan. Yet Sun Quan repaid Sun Ce with betrayal.

“Do you still have things to say? My beloved little brother?” Sun Ce asked.

“No. The winner is the ruler. The loser is a bandit.” Sun Quan stopped resisting. He dropped his sword and waited for himself to be arrested.

“Second Lord! Don’t do this! We can still charge our way out! Let us fight!” Xu Gong panicked as the situation turned around again. Xu Gong could not find a way out of this but he still resolved himself to fight to the end. This is because he could not afford to lose. Though he could struggle, he could not escape on his own. That is why he wanted to get Sun Quan’s help. He believed that Sun Ce would not be too ruthless if he could use Sun Quan as a shield. Once he escapes into the woods, he would have a chance to survive.

“Fight?” Sun Quan shook his head. Even if he were to ignore all of his brother’s elite troops, there was no way he could outrun his brother who was at the Peak of Refinement. Besides that, Lu Meng and the others had even picked up and returned Sun Ce’s Overlord Spear.

“Arrest Sun Quan and cut Xu Gong into a thousand pieces. Lu Meng, do not make me disappointed in your skills. You will be hit one time with the rod for every missing cut.” Sun Ce said as he gave Lu Meng a sword

“Ah!” Lu Meng was stunned. He was skilled but even asking him to make a thousand cuts before killing was too much. In the end, he could only passively accept the order.

“Cut into a thousand pieces?” Xu Gong felt his heart stop. He had heard of being hanged or being executed before but not this. “Hahaha!” Xu Gong laughed madly. He was scared senseless and his trousers started to turn wet.

“Sun Ce Sun Bofu! You want to torment me to death? I will not allow you!” Xu Gong then snapped off an arrow and stabbed himself with it.

Xu Gong coughed after piercing his own chest. “Sun Ce! I will not allow you to have your way! I will die and I will have Zhou Yu accompany me! Hahaha!” Xu Gong laughed and then laid still on the ground. “Nan’er. Your father is coming. Mother. Your son is coming to do his filial duty.”

Sun Ce did not bother to stop Xu Gong killing himself.

“Milord. This…” Lu Meng was stunned. What should he do now? He did not even cut Xu Gong a single time. Was he going to receive a thousand hits?

“Do you think it is over with just death? Tie Xu Gong up and dismember him with five horses! Dig up all of the Xu Family’s grave and burn their bones to ashes!” Sun Ce ordered ruthlessly.
