Thus, Liu Mang knew that if he says he didn’t want to be the boss right now, then perhaps Boss Lu would tie him up and force him to be the boss!
Liu Mang turned his eyes and half kneeled toward Lu Bu and said. “The Great Han Dynasty’s days are already numbered. The world shall belong to Lu. The Great Emperor have sent me down the the earthly realm precisely to help Boss Lu accomplish this great cause!”
[TL: Great emperor refers to the first emperor of Han, Liu Bang.]
“What?!” Lu Bu’s eyes were wide open. Unaware, he was emitting murderous aura.
Liu Mang felt as if he was currently being stared by a beast, unable to move. Cold sweat was almost dripping from his forehead. However, Liu Mang was still preserving. He knew that should be back down, the situation would be even harder to deal with.
““The Great Han Dynasty’s days are already numbered! The Great Han Dynasty’s days are already numbered?!” Chen Gong had perplexed eyes. He was completely dazzled.
“The Great Han Dynasty? Lu clan’s great cause?!” Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, although having affections for the Han Dynasty, it wasn’t as deep as their affection for Lu Bu. Thus, they are only looking at Lu Bu.
“Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, this world belongs to the people of the world. He who have the virtues shall possess it! Your expedition against the foreigners have helped protect our Han people from outside invasions - a quality achievement! You killed Dong Zhou and saved our Liu clan’s little emperor - a grace to our Liu clan! Thus, the Great Emperor, after much consideration, have sent me down to earthly realm to hand this world to your hands!” Under the powerful pressures of the fierce tiger known as Lu Bu, Liu Mang managed to speak these words out one by one.
“Boss Lu, the provisions bestowed by the Great Emperor is located outside of your precious daughter’s tent.” Seeing that Lu bu did not respond, Liu Mang shifted his attention.
“Provisions? Heaven? Great Emperor’s bestowment?!” Lu Bu was mutting to himself as he looked at Liu Mang. He was thinking of something. If Liu Mang was telling the truth about the expedition against foreigners, then Gongsun Zan was also a great general in the expedition against foreigners! He too would have helped the Han people. Why not choose him? If it’s about having grace to the Liu clan then Cao Cao have even welcomed the Emperor Xian of Han to Xudu, allowing him to be spared from the pursuit of the likes of Guo Si and Li Que.
[TL: After finding the old capital Luoyang ravaged by war, Cao moved the imperial court and Emperor Xian to Xudu in 196.]
Why would he, Lu Bu, be the selection?!
If what Liu Mang was saying is to be false, then what of his golden armor? Just by looking one would know that it’s not something that’s made possible to be made currently. Lightweight and with amazing defense. There’s also that golden light that caused Liu Mang to disappear right in front of their eyes!
And now, he even brought provisions out of thin air! Is this not something only gods and devils could do?!
Lu Bu did not get carried away, instead he was calm and composed and kneeled down toward Liu Mang. “This subject Lu Bu shall follow the Great Emperor’s will!”
“Whew!” Liu Mang took a deep breath, he finally settled it. “Boss Lu, shall we go to have a look at the provisions and armor?!”
“Armor?!” Lu Bu was confused. Didn’t Liu Mang only brought with him food?!
“Yep, armor! The Great Emperor knew that you have lost your Sky Piercer, thus he specially ordered the Heavenly craftsmen to make an armor and weapon for you!” Liu Mang was looking forward to seeing Lu Bu wear that Saint Cloth and Trident.
[TL: was thinking of putting scale there because I’m quite certain this is the poseidon's scale.]
“Let’s go!” Lu Bu, having lost his Sky Piercer, had his fighting prowess greatly decreased. Now that he have heard that the Great Emperor had the Heavenly craftsmen craft him a weapon, Lu Bu can’t help but get excited.
For a general, the most important things are the weapons and armor! A good weapon and armor is a general’s second life!
“Let’s go!” Liu Mang lead the front, followed by Lu Bu. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao was in the rear. The muddleheaded Chen Gong also followed.
