He asked if the valuables had been embezzled by a wealthy man, and demanded that the wealthy man return the money to the man within a specified period!

"Zhang Qiao, that bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yi flew into a rage, gritting his teeth as he said, "They're not here to demand the return of criminals; they're clearly here to rob us! These despicable bandits!"

"That's right!"

One-Ear nodded in agreement, "I only said one thing: we didn't get any money or valuables at all, and Zhang Qiao immediately turned hostile. He even said..."

"What else did he say??"

One-Ear stammered, "He also said that if you, sir, don't give it to him, he'll come and collect it himself! Not a penny less! And he also wants...and wants..."

At this point, One-Ear lowered his head and dared not continue.

"kindness?"

Ma Yi looked at One-Ear with a frosty expression and asked coldly, "What else does he want?"

The temperature inside the room dropped sharply in an instant.

One-Ear couldn't help but shudder, then swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "That Zhang Qiao said he... he also wants to capture you and take you back, strip you naked and make you lead his horse... and distribute your wife, daughters, and female slaves to those lowly people!"

After he finished speaking, One Ear slammed his head on the ground with a "thud," and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"This is outrageous!!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yi could no longer hold back and roared out.

As he spoke, Ma Yi, his eyes wide open and his face flushed, walked to a weapon rack and took down a curved sword.

"If I don't kill Zhang Qiao, I, Ma Yi, swear I'm not worthy of being called a man!!"

Then Ma Yi drew his sword and pointed it in the direction where Zhang Qiao's troops were stationed.

"Someone come here!"

"What are your orders, sir?"

With a loud shout from Ma Yi, the two guards at the door walked in.

Ma Yi looked at the two men and said in a deep voice, "Immediately summon all troops and the chieftains of the surrounding tribes!"

"promise!"

After receiving their orders, the two guards hurriedly left.

Then Ma Yi sat down at the table angrily, his gaze turning cold as he looked at One Ear, who was still kneeling there, and he was immediately filled with rage.

"Get out of here!!"

"I'll get out of here right now, I'll get out of here right now..."

Upon hearing this, One-Eared fled as if escaping.

"You all get off too!"

"promise!"

After One Ear left, Ma Yi waved to the female slaves, signaling them to leave as well.

Just after everyone had left, a figure emerged from the back hall. This person was the guard who had saved Dianxian from escaping the Liangzhou camp.

This man's name is Qian Lai, and he also has another identity: he is a spy planted by Tian Yan, sent by Duan Jiong, next to Dian Xian.
