My Father in Law is Lu Bu-Chapter 585

“How can such a sunny day become bad? That man is just a swindler!” One of Jiangdong’s men voiced out his dissatisfaction on the fourth day after learning of Sun Ce and Zhuge Liang’s conversation from others.

This man was one of Huang Zhong’s distant relative, Huang Gai. Although he was old, he was still strong enough to keep up with the youngsters. When he heard the name Zhuge Liang, he immediately felt the urge to kill.

Huang Gai was a senior figure that had worked for Sun Jian and now, Sun Ce. In a sense, he had continued to strive for Jiangdong. Though he was usually calm, he could not help but show his dissatisfaction now. This is because his good friend Han Dang was sent to the hospital thanks to Zhuge Liang. Han Dang had lost an arm and was also removed from command.

Huang Gai was truly close to Han Dang. It was because of this he was willing to risk his life violating orders to save Han Dang. Huang Gai thought of going to Jiangxia to take the head of Zhuge Liang so that he could placate his friend. He never expected Zhuge Liang himself to come over.

Huang Gai wanted to kill Zhuge Liang but he also understood the current situation. That was why he could endure enough to only curse with his mouth.

“Haha. General Huang. Weather is always changing. So it would be hard for Military Advisor Zhuge to be wrong.” Sun Ce said as though supporting Zhuge Liang but he was also giving Zhuge Liang a reminder. That being said, Sun Ce was determined to attack the next day regardless or wind or rain.

“Even when insects change, they do not speak. That is the rule of nature. If one knows the rule, they would be in control.” Zhuge Liang seemingly said to himself as he drank from a small cup. However, it was obvious to anyone that Zhuge Liang was saying this to Huang Gai. On top of that, he was basically saying that Huang Gai should not speak because he has no knowledge.

“You! Ignorant Zhuge! Don’t you know that this is our Jiangdong’s camp?” Huang Gai said angrily.

“So what? Before this we were enemies. Right now, we are allies. Has General Huang Gai forgotten where the provisions you all ate the past few days come from? Do you dare to harm me?” Zhuge Liang laughed.

“You think I do not dare?” Huang Gai wanted to act but he was stopped by Taishi Ci. As Taishi Ci was Sun Ce’s trusted aide, his actions were the will of their Lord, Sun Ce.

“General Gongfu. Do not be rude.” Sun Ce said indignantly towards Huang Gai.

Zhuge Liang laughed. “Haha. General Huang Gai is getting old. You should stay calm or you would fall sick easily.”

“You!” Huang Gai glared and tried to step forward again but he was still stopped by Taishi Ci.

Huang Gai gnashed his teeth when he realized he could not do anything to Zhuge Liang. After a while, he laughed. “Haha! Ignorant Zhuge! You said there would be wind and rain today, so I will make a bet with you!” Huang Gai said angrily.

“A bet? How will we bet?” Zhuge Liang asked after a while.

“If there is no rain, you are a liar trying to cause disorder in the army!” Huang Gai said coldly. Causing disorder in the army was a crime that results in execution. Basically, if Zhuge Liang loses the bet, he would lose his life.

“What if it rains?” Zhuge Liang asked back.
