Yun Chang POV

Haa… Haa… Haa…

When we returned back to the city, Wen Yuan went with several platoons to take control of various officials within the city while I frantically dismounted and sprinted into the residential district, my destination being Luoyang’s official Administrator residence.

I prayed nothing untoward happened as I ran.

Perhaps there’s a market nearby or something, but it seemed like Luoyang city was really noisy and that made me even more agitated. It was a good thing that I didn’t attract too much attention as I ran so I was able to calm down my feelings on the way.

After I rounded the corner, I came to the row of dilapidated residences, and found the so-called official Administrator residence.

I was about to charge into the residence at full speed when I saw the girls and Lu Bu outside the residence, some standing, others sitting around a stone table.

Eh? This is…

“Oh? Sister Guan is back.” Gan Qing was the first to see me, and began waving at me.

I only felt easy once more when I was able to see clearly that everyone was well and unharmed.

“Ah, I’m back.” I smiled as I replied seeing the girls all fine, “Are you all alright?”

“Un, thanks to sister Lu.” Gan Qing smiled as she nodded, but there was still some sign of tension on her face. Or perhaps she got a scare.

I then looked at Lu Bu, and saw that she was sitting somewhere away from the rest, and was quietly and calmly drinking tea. I thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to ask her directly what happened.

“Lord Lu Bu, we fell for Han Fu’s scheme. The Yellow Turbans outside were all actually city troops. Han Fu probably wanted to deal with us on both sides.” I said as I looked at Lu Bu, who remained calm as she listened to me.

“Un, I know. The Administrator and his trusted general did send some a.s.sailants just now.” Lu Bu said as she raised her tea cup and pointed at Gan Qing, “He even tried to hold her hostage.”

“Han Fu, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

*Pa*! I slapped the table in rage. How I wished the table was Han Fu and Meng Tan instead.

“Don’t worry, Lord Guan Yu. I’ve settled everything and scared away the troops as well.”

“Un, it does seem like the case to me. Looks like I really don’t need to worry when there’s Lord Lu Bu around as expected.” As I said so, I looked about, “Then, where is Han Fu and Meng Tan? Did Lord Lu Bu tie them up and leave them in the residence?”

“… Tie?” Lord Lu Bu shot back with a question and a puzzled look.

I didn’t really understand why she was asking me that, but just then, I realised that there were 2 fresh bloodstains on Lu Bu’s armour.

Could it be…

I didn’t bother saying too much, and turned toward the residence and opened the door by a crack. When I saw what happened inside, I frowned and slowly shut the door before turning to Lu Bu

“Lord Lu Bu, what have you done!” I asked Lu Bu anxiously, and kept my voice as low as possible. “What good is Han Fu and Meng Tan’s deaths to us?”

“What’s the point of keeping the 2 of them? They’re just evil, treacherous men who could not possibly aid us in any way. Do you think they will let us pa.s.s?”

“Aiya! But that doesn’t mean we need to kill…”

“If I don’t kill them, then how could I save the 2 la.s.ses so quickly? How could I have driven off the incoming troops?” Lu Bu was irritated when she looked at my dismayed expression.

“Then…”

“Even if it’s me, a rescue operation is difficult especially since that’s not my specialty to begin with. If they had called for more troops all of a sudden or if I had neglected the la.s.ses due to exhaustion and either of us got injured, who would be responsible?” Lu Bu raised her volume with each sentence. Her tone was still calm and what she said did indeed make sense.

“Sister Guan.” Just then, Gan Qing came over, and looked at me with a difficult expression, “Please don’t blame sister Lu for this.”

“That’s right that’s right, sister Lu was so cool just now!”

“Ha~~~ So tired…”

Looking at the 2 girls, I didn’t have the heart to say anymore, and calmed myself down.

“… I’m not really blaming her.” I wanted to say something just now, but I’ve forgotten what it was already.

“Hai, I understand. This could have been avoided and I did indeed say too much.”

“No…”

Lu Bu seems to have realised that she was speaking loudly. But what Lu Bu said was right. If it were me, I would probably have chosen to kill those dishonourable people if I had to.

“Eh? Why is everyone outside?” Just then, Meng Huo and his band returned. They all had small and big bags of stuff in their hands and were puzzled when they saw us standing and sitting outside.

“Un, stuff happened.” I shook my head tiredly.

“Something happened huh…” Meng Huo smiled as he looked at me. It was difficult to look at that smile but he didn’t ask any further. He only said, “Is that so? Tell me later.” He then walked over to the side and spoke with the rest of his band.

It’s not like I can’t tell them what happened. It’s just a bit ironic how I told them not to act yet things happened like this anyway.

Un, what a joke.

“Yun Chang, my lord~~” Just then, Wen Yuan came rus.h.i.+ng over and waved with an excited look.

Just as I was about to ask Wen Yuan what happened, she spoke up, “Luoyang city is ours!”
