Don’t Tell Me This Is the True History of the Three Kingdoms! Vol 4 Chapter 34.5

At this moment, Sun Ce’s eyes gleamed as though she felt the current situation seemed interesting. Her lips curled and she seemed at ease despite facing a cold and sullen Feng Xian.

Could she be having fun?

“…” Just as I was trying to guess what Sun Ce was thinking, Feng Xian began to act. She gently jumped and leapt down 3 steps, and immediately lashed out a punch the moment she landed.

Sun Ce dodged yet again and retreated as she did so.

“Ha!” Feng Xian saw that her punches were not connecting and began connecting chains of attacks from various directions.

I never knew that Feng Xian was so skilled in unarmed combat on top of her astute mastery of weapons.

“Kuh!” In a short time frame, Feng Xian had begun to overwhelm Sun Ce and was able to send Sun Ce flying when she saw an opening. Sun Ce was able to land with much difficulty after taking a long while to regain her balance in the air.

And with this short exchange, quite a number of people had begun to crowd around.

“We only met briefly the last time so I never thought that Xuan De would have such a strong subordinate general.” Sun Ce said as she wiped the sweat on her forehead.

“Haven’t you had enough? Do you have to get so violent?” The first sentence was directed at Sun Ce while the second was directed at Feng Xian.

I don’t know much about unarmed combat but I could tell that every move would have been fatal had it landed on Sun Ce’s body.

“…” Feng Xian remained silent, and I was unsure if she could still hear me.

“Xuan De, don’t bother,” Sun Ce seemed to have gotten even more energetic than before, “I don’t like wars, but I like exchanging blows in a proper duel. And besides, she’s the same kind of person as I am.”

Un… I was still worried as I don’t know whether they know how strong they and each other really are but from my perspective Sun Ce is quite dangerous.

“Alright,” Seems like rest time is over. Sun Ce called out raised her fists in front of her chest, “It’s my turn now– Eh?”

Just as Sun Ce was about to charge forth, 2 figures leapt out from the crowd and rapidly held down Sun Ce. I don’t know what just happened but it’s good that the fight didn’t continue.

“Cheng Pu, Han Dang, let me go now!”

“Give up, my lord.” “Returning obediently is the right decision.”

Sun Ce flailed her arms with all her might, and it was clear that her strength was not to be trifled with, but she couldn’t shrug off the 2 large human walls.

“My lord really doesn’t know how to act. Leaving your work behind and running away is bad enough but to think you actually caused a ruckus in someone else’s city.” A high girl’s voice came from the crowd. I tried, but failed, to find the source.

“This voice… Zhang, Zhang Zi Bu!?”

Sun Ce, who had been vigorously struggling till just now, began to show a look of fear when she heard this voice.

“If you know I’m here then stop resisting. Your mother is already very angry.”

Zhang Zi Bu?! Is it Jiangdong’s Zhang Zhao? From what I remember, Zhang Zhao should be an old man… Even if Zhang Zhao is a girl, her voice doesn’t sound old at all.

I tried again to find her figure in the crowd but I couldn’t find her wat all.

“H, how did she…” Sun Ce suffered yet another blow when Zhang Zhao used her mother.

“Oi…” Feng Xian, who had been forgotten all this while, finally began to speak up and called out to the despondent Sun Ce.

“Ah, sorry Lord Lu Bu.” Sun Ce seems to have recovered somewhat and ruffled her hair as she returned her fringe to how she usually had it, “How is this? Do you recognise me now? I’m Sun Ce, we met during the expedition to attack Yuan Shu.”

“Un…” Feng Xian sank into silence.

Eh? Did she really forget about Sun Ce!?

“… Oh.” After a long while, Feng Xian seemed to have finally remembered and dropped her guard.

Looks like I’ll have to get Feng Xian to learn how to remember people’s faces in future.

“The one standing on the stairs should be Lord Liu Bei right?” Just then, Zhang Zhao in the crowds began speaking once more.

“Ah, un.” I hurriedly replied.

“We hereby apologise for the trouble our lord has brought upon you.”

As she said so, the 2 big, burly men, Cheng Pu and Han Dang, bowed deeply.

“It’s alright… There weren’t any damages anyway.”

“Lord Liu Bei need not decline our apologies. We will also bear the costs for all your expenses today.” Zhang Zhao said as I was still trying to find her, “We’ll be leaving then.”

As she said so, the 2 men kept their hold on Sun Ce while they carried her out through the crowds.

“Ah, right. Lord Lu Bu.” Just then, Sun Ce who was being carried off shouted to Feng Xian, “Being a warrior is a thing to be proud of, but you have to learn how to be a woman. Just knowing martial arts alone won’t bring you happiness.”

Sun Ce was probably trying to encourage Feng Xian. I don’t quite understand what she’s trying to say, but since she said ‘to be a woman’, I gave up trying to understand as I probably wouldn’t be able to anyway.

“…” Feng Xian didn’t reply her but she nodded resolutely at Sun Ce’s back.

I sometimes feel that women have some sort of inexplicable understanding between each other.

“How are you, Feng Xian?” I asked worriedly as I walked over to her. She didn’t speak and seemed to only have full regained her senses as she began to inspect herself.

The clothes were naturally damaged, as every major joint was torn open, revealing Feng Xian’s bare skin. The bottom was also badly torn as it had been dragged across the floor and Feng Xian had unleashed some kicks as well.

“… Sorry, I spoiled the clothes.” Feng Xian said remorsefully as she lowered her head.

“It’s nothing, don’t be so bothered about it.” Zhang Zhao did mention that she would pay for it anyway.

“But…” Feng Xian shook her lowered head, “… This was Xuan De’s first set of clothes for me. And I actually…”

I saw several s.h.i.+ny drops fall to the ground as Feng Xian stammered. It felt like a kid had broken her beloved toy.

I don’t know what Feng Xian is thinking inside, but I think she is very cute when it comes to things like this.

Naturally, I can’t say this out loud.

(TL: MC is a s.a.d.i.s.t lol. You know what they say, the more proper they seem, the more perverted they are.)

“It’s alright,” I said as I squatted down and dusted her clothes, “If you like this set that much, we can always get someone to mend it. I hear the tailors here are very good.”

Feng Xian turned her head away and took a few steps back out of shyness when she saw me do this.

“Alright, go and change out of this set of clothes first. When it’s mended, we’ll collect it again.” I said as I patted Feng Xian’s back, hoping to help her control her emotions.

Feng Xian nodded and went into the shop to change.

I used this opening to ask the shopkeeper something I just thought of and the answer was exactly as I thought it would be.

“Alright, help me send this note to this place.”
