Upon seeing Luo Cheng appear, Di Yong and the others quickly bowed and greeted him.
"Greetings, General."
Although Luo Cheng always stayed by Mu Zi'an's side, he was still the nominal commander of the Beggars' Army.
Upon seeing the visitor, Zou Zheng's gaze turned serious.
Luo Cheng stepped forward and bypassed Zou Zheng.
Looking at Di Yong, whose face was bruised and swollen, he asked.
"What happened?"
Di Yong clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Reporting to the general, we have just arrived here to rest after transporting military equipment."
"However, those hundred generals from Qingzhou insulted us with their words, and we did not want to have a conflict with them."
"However, they provoked us again and again, and even tried to open the carriage to inspect the weapons on it."
"We refused, so we started fighting with them."
“They are outnumbered and powerful, and we are no match for them.”
"And this Qingzhou Commandant, without asking any questions, wanted to give us thirty lashes."
"We have no idea what we did to offend them."
No sooner had Di Yong finished speaking than Luo Cheng raised his foot and kicked him directly.
Di Yong suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. The other four Beggars immediately stepped forward to help him up.
Luo Cheng stared at them with a cold and sharp gaze.
Do you know why this general attacked you?
Upon hearing this, Di Yong lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.
"I am unaware."
Luo Cheng said calmly.
"You should cut off his legs when he blocks your car, instead of trying to reason with these bastards."
Upon hearing this, the room fell into a sudden, chilly silence.
Luo Cheng's words were calm but carried an endless killing intent.
Upon hearing this, Di Yong's previously bitter expression immediately brightened.
After Luo Cheng finished speaking, he turned to look at Liu Baijiang standing to the side.
An immense pressure swept directly toward Liu Baijiang.
The murderous aura made his legs tremble uncontrollably.
Luo Cheng walked step by step toward Liu Baijiang.
Zou Zheng, who was standing nearby, sensed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to speak.
"General Luo has not yet figured out the truth of this matter, so we cannot just believe the one-sided story of your Liangzhou soldiers."
Luo Cheng did not answer but continued walking towards Liu Baijiang.
As the distance between the two sides drew closer, the killing intent seemed to solidify into a tangible form.
Liu Bai's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
"General Luo... please let me explain."
Luo Cheng looked down at them with disdain from his high vantage point.
"You insulted my Liangzhou army first, and then tried to spy on my Liangzhou army's secrets. I suspect you are a spy for the enemy army, and that you have been lurking here to find out the strength of my army."
Upon hearing this, Liu Baijiang immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
If this accusation is proven true, he'll be in serious trouble, if not dead.
"Captain, save me! Save me! I didn't do it! He... he's making false accusations!"
Liu Bai cast an eager glance at Zou Zheng.
"Shut up!"
Zou Zheng shouted angrily, then looked at Luo Chengdao.
"General Luo, there seems to be some misunderstanding here. With a formidable enemy at hand, let's not let this damage the harmony between our two armies."
Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng glanced at Zou Zheng out of the corner of his eye and asked.
Are you threatening me?
Zou Zheng hadn't expected Luo Cheng to be so blunt, but if he couldn't protect Liu Baijiang at this moment, it would definitely damage his prestige.
At this moment, Zou Zheng was also cursing Liu Baijiang's ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind.
"General Luo, what are you saying! Everyone knows that the Liangzhou Army is the personal guard of the Duke of Zhenguo. How dare we threaten them?"
"However, we must rely on evidence when doing things. We can't just believe one side of the story in this matter."
"This centurion under my command has rendered great service to my Great Li..."
Before Zou Zheng could finish speaking, a flash of cold light appeared in the darkness!
Luo Cheng's spear was already pressed against Liu Baijiang's throat.
The sharp spear tip pierced the skin of Liu Baijiang's throat, and a drop of blood flowed down his neck.
If the spear tip had moved just an inch closer, Liu Bai would have died on the spot!
Upon seeing this, Zou Zheng immediately became angry.
General Luo, what are you trying to do?!
Luo Cheng ignored Zou Zheng and looked down at Liu Baijiang, asking him a question.
"Which foot is blocking the way?"
Luo Cheng's voice was calm and unhurried, but it sounded like thunder to Liu Baijiang.
"I...I..."
For a moment, Liu Baijiang's speech became somewhat slurred.
Zou Zheng glared angrily at Luo Cheng.
"General Luo!"
Before Zou Zheng could finish speaking...
Luo Cheng said coldly.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't take it all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Cheng brought his spear down!
Everyone heard a soft "plop" sound, followed by Liu Baijiang's scream.
That shot was fast and ruthless!
By the time Zou Zheng reacted, Luo Cheng's spear had already been pulled out from Liu Baijiang's thigh.
In an instant! Blood gushed out!
This scene shocked the surrounding Qingzhou soldiers, who all gasped in astonishment.
Zou Zheng stared at Luo Cheng in disbelief and angrily rebuked him.
"You...you...you harmed your colleague without any evidence! I will definitely report you to the Prince of Jin!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng flicked the blood off the tip of his spear and said coldly.
"I never rely on evidence when I do things."
After saying that, Luo Cheng turned to Di Yong and said...
"Push the car away! Anyone who dares to stop you will be killed without mercy!"
Luo Cheng finished speaking and walked ahead alone.
Di Yong was also deeply moved at this moment, and under the gaze of the Qingzhou army, he couldn't help but straighten his back.
"Brothers! Push the cart!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining four people, some driving and some straightening up, drove away proudly.
Watching Di Yong and his group disappear into the night, the centurion following behind Zou Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"Captain! Are you just going to let them leave like this?"
Upon hearing this, Zou Zheng roared angrily, his face turning ashen.
"What! Do you want me to lose a leg too?"
Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and dared not reply.
Zou Zheng clenched his fists, then turned to look at Liu Baijiang, who was groaning on the ground.
"Send this good-for-nothing to the army doctor!"
After saying that, Zou Zheng gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"I'd like to see just what your Liangzhou army is capable of!"
After saying that, Zou Zheng left without looking back.
The Qingzhou soldiers were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Even their own captain has admitted defeat, so how could these men possibly cause any trouble?
However, from this day forward, the entire Qingzhou army knew that the people from Liangzhou were not to be trifled with.
