My Father in Law is Lu Bu Chapter 558

Cai Mao was walking up and down at his residence. Everything had happened so quickly that he could only rely on his shadow guards for information. With Liu Biao’s n keeping watch of the place, Cai Mao could not move and relying on the shadow guards provide information too slowly.

“Master. The Lord of the Kuai Family requests to et you.” The housekeeper said to Cai Mao.

“No! I am not eting anyone!” Cai Mao said impulsively. He wasn’t in the mood to et anyone at this critical juncture.

“Huh? But it is Master Kuai!” The housekeeper was shocked.

“Master Kuai? Yidu is here? Quickly! Go greet him!” Cai Mao finally responded.

“Yes!” The housekeeper nodded. Soon, the three Kuai Family mbers t with Cai Mao in his room.

“Brother Yidu. You are finally here!” Cai Mao looked at Kuai Yue as though he was looking at his close relative. He pulled Kuai Yue over to a seat and said, “Co, let us drink so tea.”

“Drink tea? In this ergency?” Kuai Liang complained with dissatisfaction.

“Zirou is here too?” Cai Mao had only noticed Kuai Yue.

“I am here too, Uncle Cai.” Kuai Ran cupped his fist.

“Brother Yidu. How eid you co here? Didn’t that brat Huang She blockade the entrance?” Cai Mao asked.

“Degui. We did not use the entrance but the tunnel.” Kuai Yue explained.

“So it is finally ti to use that tunnel?” Cai Mao gritted his teeth. The Cai Family and the Kuai Family had dug up this tunnel to use in case their family was in danger of being wiped out.

“If we don’t use it now, we might as well never use it.” Kuai Yue shook his head bitterly. Lady Cai was arrested. Cai Mao is under house arrest and Liu Biao was dealing with Liu Mang. It is possible for the Kuai Family to soon experience disaster as well. “Have you gotten any news about her?”

“All of this is that King of Shu Liu Mang’s fault!” Cai Mao imdiately beca angry when asked about his sister. He did not have any news about his sister ever since she was thrown into prison. This wouldn’t have happened if it was not because of Liu Mang.

“Brother Degui. Do you really think those two are really those kind of people?” Kuai Yue asked as he drank a sip of tea.

“Hmph! I don’t know about that King of Shu, Liu Mang but my sister is definitely not that kind of person!” Cai Mao trusted his sister. For the Cai Family, his sister had sacrificed her youth away. She was definitely a sensible person.

“Then is the King of Shu that kind of person?” Kuai Liang asked indignantly.

“Who knows?” Cai Mao replied.

“You!” Kuai Liang felt irritated.

“The King of Shu is also not that kind of person. The barbarian princess from the brothel was also beautiful but the King of Shu was not tempted.”

“Hmph.” Cai Mao harrumphed but then recalled that during those feasts, nobles had introduced their daughters to Liu Mang. Liu Mang treated them well but did not leave with any of them. Since the won that ca out to entertain Liu Mang would definitely be skilled, it can be said that Liu Mang is not a womanizer.

If Liu Mang knew how Cai Mao had evaluated him, he would have definitely thanked Cai Mao. It wasn’t that Liu Mang wasn’t a womanizer. He was just afraid of the fierce won at ho.

“Then how could such a thing have happened?”

“Could it be that the two fell in love?” Kuai Ran interrupted.

“Bullshit! How could my sister fancy him?” Cai Mao shouted.

“You think the King of Shu is not worthy of your sister?” Kuai Liang also beca quick tempered.

“Stop arguing.” Kuai Yue felt his head ache. If he knew this was going to happen, he would not have brought his younger brother and his son along.

“If both of them aren’t like that, it ans that soone else is causing problems.” Kuai Ran explained.

“Do you still rember what happened at Jingshan three months ago?” Kuai Ran asked Cai Mao. Cai Mao naturally rembered as it was the first ti Liu Biao treated Cai Mao so coldly. Liu Biao even sent troops to Jingshan.

“That day, the King of Shu and your sister fell into a trap.” Kuai Yue explained. Soone had killed one of Liu Biao’s bodyguards and irritated him.

“However, she never said anything to !”

“How could she tell you?” Kuai Yue asked. “Do you still rember who the King of Shu and your sister dealt with after that incident?”

“Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan!” Cai Mao finally rembered. The day after that, Liu Mang’s subordinates and Lady Cai had requested for him to deal with Pang Tong. Initially he thought that Liu Mang and his sister had co to so sort of agreent. He now realize that they simply shared a common enemy.

“How did Huang She find out about this?” Huang She played a huge role in this incident since he was the one who slandered them in front of Liu Biao.

“I do not know. Maybe Huang She realized this from so other incident!” The intelligent Kuai Yue guessed most of it correctly.

“This is not the ti to be going down the mory lane. We have to save your sister and the King of Shu.” Kuai Liang anxiously said.

“Degui. Is the Xiangyang Navy still under your control?” Kuai Yue asked.

“When Huang She kept under house arrest, I already told my shadow guards to deliver a ssage to Zhang Yun. They are not to approach the shore with the excuse that they are training.”

“Good.” Kuai Yue replied with a smile. “I knew that you would not just wait to die.”

The Xiangyang navy had over thirty thousand people. If they were to approach the shore, Liu Biao would definitely seize them. However, since Zhang Yun was still around, the navy was still Cai Mao’s asset.

“What about the Xiangyang Guards?” There were four groups in total. The Xiangyang Navy was their largest group numbering thirty thousand people. On the other hand, the XIangyang Guards only had about five thousand n and they consisted of the noble family’s children.

“At least half of them will be on our side.” Kuai Liang replied. As Kuai Liang used to be their superior, at least half of them were connected to the Cai Family and the Kuai Family.

The third group was the Xiangyang Defenders. They numbered around thirty thousand and followed the Huang Family’s orders. Last but not least was Liu Biao’s personal bodyguards. Although there were only a thousand of them, they were all strong. They had to at least be amongst the best to beco Liu Biao’s guards.

“Yidu. What do you an?” Cai Mao asked.

“It is the only thing we can do if push cos to shove.” Kuai Yue may be a scholar but he can also be a terrifying military leader when the need arises.

“Father. What does this have to do with saving brother?” Kuai Ran asked.

“Of course there is sothing to do with it! However, your brother will need to suffer a bit.” Kuai Yue replied. Right now, they were unable to save Liu Mang. Liu Mang only moved around with his own guards and they would not listen to anyone else. The Xiangyang Navy were at Yangtze River and the Xiangyang Defenders could not be trusted because the Huang Family had people in it.

Kuai Yue would be able to act as long as Liu Biao does not kill Liu Mang on the spot. If Liu Mang were to get captured, he would be placed either in the prison or the governor’s residence. Both these places can be accessed using the secret passage.

“Father. You want to pledge your allegiance with brother?” Kuai Ran asked excitedly. If they were to pledge allegiance to Yangzhou, he would be able to work as Liu Mang’s subordinate.

“No.” Kuai Yue shook his head. Attacking their superior would not be good for both their family’s reputation. Kuai Yue simply wanted to quietly save both Liu Mang and Lady Cai. If possible, he also wanted to send Lady Cai to Yangzhou alongside Liu Mang.

If they do this, Liu Biao would not be able to harm the Kuai Family and the Cai Family for Jingzhou’s peace. They can then proclaim that Lady Cai is dead. Jingzhou will also eventually be passed down to Liu Zong or Liu Qi. Cai Mao was Liu Zong’s maternal uncle and Liu Qi was already working for Yangzhou. Regardless of his choice, Liu Biao would lose.

However, all these depends on whether Liu Mang is still alive. If Liu Biao kills Liu Mang on the spot without capturing him, then Kuai Yue’s plans were useless. Yangzhou will definitely attack Jingzhou and both the Cai Family and the Kuai family will be a thorn in both their sides.

“Is there no other way?”

“This is the only way.”
