Chapter 505

“Liu Biao and Liu Mang have allied?” Pang Tong gnashed his teeth when he heard the news.

Pang Tong initially had the confidence to make an alliance with Jingzhou and leech off Jingzhou’s wealth before annexing Jingzhou. Now, Liu Mang who only came for provisions managed to form the alliance instead. All of Pang Tong’s plans crumbled.

Pang Tong gritted his teeth. Yangzhou’s problem with provisions was solved. Now Pang Tong had to quickly take his own provisions and leave Jingzhou. Of course, Pang Tong had also managed to buy provisions as well using his connections with the Pang Family. However, the money he used was the money he inherited from his father. This is because the money he obtained from Liu Bei had already been given to Kuai Ran.

“Quickly dispatch a messenger. Have the Xiliang Cavalry transport the provisions.” They still had a chance to win if they could secure the provisions.

“Yes! Military Advisor!” Pang Tong’s subordinates replied and quickly left. They needed an excuse to get far away from Pang Tong. Unfortunately, they also had to return sullenly.

“Why are you back? Have you sent the letter?”

“Military Advisor. The letter no longer need to be sent.” Pang Tong subordinates replied sullenly.

Hearing this, Pang Tong had a bad premonition.

“Military Advisor. Our provision at Fancheng are all being detained.”

Pang Tong immediately turned pale. “Did you not mention the Pang Family and the Lumen Academy?”

“Military Advisor. Zhang Jin had mentioned the Pang Family and Lumen Academy but he was beaten to death!” The subordinate replied. Pang Tong knew who Zhang Jin was. Zhang Jin was one of his subordinates. Zhang Jin had also accompanied Pang Tong up Jingshan. Initially he thought of having this guy go on ahead to advance his schemes but the man was beaten to death instead.

“Liu Mang Liu Hanyang! You are bullying others too much! That bastard Liu Biao as well!” Pang Tong cursed angrily. Those provisions were bought with the huge amount of money he inherited from his father. Pang Degong did not touch a single penny. All of this was used to buy over a hundred thousand provisions. Now he cannot even obtain his provisions. How was he supposed to return to Yuzhou?

“Find Wang Kang!” Pang Tong shouted as he remembered Wang Kang. Wang Kang was one of the Lumen Academy’s disciple. Wang Kang had once studied under Pang Degong but was not officially accepted as his student. He wanted to be accepted officially so that his career would flourish. That was why Wang Kang assisted Pang Tong.

Wang Kang was one of the reasons Liu Mang could not obtain provisions. After all, Wang Kang was in charge of the provisions. It would be easy to tamper with the business.

“Yes! I will go at once!” Pang Tong’s replied. With Wang Kang’s assistance, they would be able to instantly solve their problem.

“No need!” Just as Pang Tong’s subordinates were about to leave, Wang Kang himself appeared.

“Lord Wang! You came at the right time! We were just about to look for you!” Pang Tong’s subordinates were happy, thinking that their problem is solved.

On the other hand, much to his subordinate’s confusion, Pang Tong’s expression darkened. “Brother Wang. Did I offend you in any way to be treated like this?”

“Military Advisor?”

“Haha, Brother Pang. You did not offend me at all. However, you offended someone else!”

“The King of Shu? Lady Cai?” Pang Tong asked. Wang Kang shook his head both times.

“Brother Pang, there is no need to keep asking. You can just ask the King of Hell.” Wang Kang replied.

“Wang Kang! Are you not afraid of offending the Pang Family and the Lumen Academy?” Pang Tong rebuked angrily. Wang Kang may have arrived with weapons and bodyguards but he never expected Wang Kang would want to kill him.

“Of course I am afraid! However, killing you have nothing to do with the Pang Family or the Lumen Academy!” Wang Kang replied with a smile. He wanted the Pang Family’s support which is why he helped Pang Tong. However, the Pang Family spread the news that Pang Tong was disowned. Not even the Lumen Academy can stop this.

Wang Kang was dumbstruck. He had offended many people to curry favor with Pang Tong. The only way he can redeem himself to these people is to kill Pang Tong.

“I have been disowned?” Pang Tong was stunned. He was not surprised that news of him killing Tang Yun had spread. He had already offended so many people in Jingzhou that another person offended was not a problem. What he never expected was to be disowned. He could barely believe it but Wang Kang’s desire to kill him was definitely not faked.

“Uncle! Brother! Do you really want to do this?” Pang Tong asked bitterly.

“Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan. Give yourself up obediently and I will make sure you keep your corpse.” Wang Kang said savagely as his guards took out their swords.

“Since you are doing this, do not blame me for not recognizing family!1 Kill him!” Pang Tong’s eyes turned red and took out a sword to fight against Wang Kang.
