My Father in Law is Lu Bu - Chapter 343

Chapter 343






Liu Bei’s entire army began to move along with the Xiliang Cavalry .

“Hmph!” Xu Shu snorted at Liu Bei’s confidence . Liu Bei’s Army had moved to take Shouchun .

The army marched forward with their generals, including Zhang Xiu, in front . A blackish faced man on a horse then went to the front .

“Yuanzhi, long time no see . I had truly been concerned about you . ” This meant was the the Military Advisor of the Liu Bei’s Army, Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan .





“Haha, Shiyuan . You said you were at Nanyan but here you are, making a ruckus!” Xu Shu knew had seen Pang Tong in the Liu Bei’s Army when Shouchun was attacked . However, that was hundreds of meters away . They never had the chance to exchange words like this .

“If you, Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi can leave the mountains, why can’t I? I believe you have met Milord Lord Xuan De . As for your Lord, forgive my words but you have made the wrong choice . Even Kongming refused to go to him . Yet, you still… Sigh . ” Pang Tong shook his head and showed an expression of concern towards Xu Shu . Liu Mang had been looked upon highly by Zhuge Liang . This was why Xu Shu was also interested in him . Initially, Xu Shu also wanted to join Liu Bei but he went to Liu Mang first because of the recruitment order . However, in the end,Xu Shu swore fealty to Liu Mang was because of what happened at Hefei that day . The distinct punishment was what made Xu Shu wanted to join Liu Mang and it had nothing to do with Zhuge Liang .

Now, Pang Tong had ridiculed his choice and even said that Zhuge Liang do not think highly of Liu Mang . If Pang Tong had only ridiculed Xu Shu, Xu Shu would not have said anything . However, once Pang Tong ridiculed Liu Mang, Xu Shu was no longer polite .

“Haha . In that case, congratulations! Shiyuan’s Lord Xuande must be a great man! He is a leader that can stand tall or submits as required! When Marquis Wen captures his Xuzhou, he welcomes Marquis Wen with a smiling face! Lord Xuande was even able to exercise patience towards Cao Mengde . He is so good at it that even the Emperor could not clearly understand him! Lord Xuande is truly a formidable person!” Xu Shu praised and even bowed towards Liu Bei . However, those words were actually insults .

A leader that can stand tall or submits as required is a common phrase that is also a praise . However, these words could not only be looked at on its surface . When interpreted in a good way, it meant that the person had tolerance . If interpreted in a bad way, it meant that the person was a coward . What was the point of following a coward? A person with such tolerance can tolerate things others could not . They could also accomplish things others could not . However, Liu Bei started off with the high position of the Left General and Imperial Uncle . An accomplishment would mean becoming the Emperor . On top of that, Liu Bei was an ambitious person . In other words, he was saying that Liu Bei was a treacherous hypocrite conspiring to become Emperor .

“Yuanzhi . You still do not know how to appreciate kindness!” Pang Tong’s eyes turned cold . Since he had been studying with Xu Shu, they never quite got along with each other . Xu Shu was only a man from a humble family . Xu Shu would not have become a resourceful advisor if he had not studied but would simply remain as a simple swordsman .

A long time ago, Xu Shu had almost gotten himself executed for murder . He was good at martial arts but he needed knowledge if he was going to gain a lot of enemies . However, not many people would take him in as a student as he was from a humble family . Only Shui Jing took him in . Shui Jing had many studious subordinates . Besides Xu Shu, Shui Jing also taught Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Shi Tao, and many other children from Jingzhou . Xu Shu could not be compared to them in lineage and was ashamed . Xu Shu studied hard despite being looked down on others . He knew he had to study hard to preserve his dignity .

Pang Tong said Xu Shu did not know how to appreciate kindness because Pang Tong’s uncle, Pang Degong, looked favourably towards Xu Shu . Because of his uncle, Pang Tong decided to help out Xu Shu . However, Pang Tong did not know that this was a humiliation to Xu Shu . Xu Shu was a man . He did not need to be sheltered under someone’s wings .

Pang Tong had this misconception when Xu Shu rejected Pang Tong’s help to preserve his own dignity . They only got to know each other more because of Zhuge Liang but they only remained a little more than friends .





“Shiyuan . You are still so competitive!” Xu Shu who had always been humiliated could not always stay calm . Pang Tong’s days during his studies was also not smooth sailing . In Pang Tong’s case, he was looked down on because of his appearance . Everyone said not to judge a book by its cover but the truth is that the cover was extremely important . Pang Tong was jeered at for being fat and having dark skin . The smaller noble families would not dare to do so but the big families like the Cai, Kuai, and Huang families . In other words, both Xu Shu and Pang Tong were equally humiliated .

To not be looked down on by others, Pang Tong strived to be better than others and hide his inferiority . These two advisors have now pointed out each other’s weak points . They both looked at each other unyieldingly . Pang Tong then laughed .

“Pang Shiyuan . What are you laughing at?” Xu Shu shouted coldly . Xu Shu’s animosity showed that he was no longer talking about friendship but about confrontation .

“I am laughing because very soon, you are going to offer Shouchun to us and become my prisoner!”

“You must be dreaming!” Xu Shu interrupted him .

“You will find out whether I am dreaming! Men, bring that here!” Following Pang Tong’s cold words, a carriage was driven out to the front .

“Let me go!” A screaming female voice could be heard inside the carriage . Xu Shu’s face turned blue . He did not expect it to be true . 1
