Ma Zikun brought Luyangwei and officials such as Cheng Yuanshan, Li Pu, Zhang Kai, Gan Wenjin, as well as his own people such as Yan Cheng and Qiangzhouwei to meet outside Huixian.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Cheng Yuanshan jumped out and loudly questioned Qi Su, the commander of the Qiangzhou Guard, "Why are you here?"
"Why can't it be me?" Qi Su asked back.
Military officers generally have rough looks, and Qi Su is no exception. He is strong and sturdy, standing there like a wall. Yan Cheng thinks he is more than 1.9 meters tall.
Cheng Yuanshan has a normal body shape, with just a little more muscle.
Cheng Yuanshan: "Don't you know that Luyang is my territory? Why did you come to Luyang?"
Qi Su: "Oh, this world belongs to the emperor, and Luyang also belongs to the emperor. What are you barking about? And do you want to come to Luyang to see your dog face for me? If I hadn't come here for the command mission, I wouldn't want to come."
When the two armies met, before they could come up with a strategy to suppress the bandits, they started arguing.
It turns out that the two were sworn enemies in the past and would quarrel whenever they met.
"Okay! Stop arguing!"
Before the two men started fighting, Ma Zikun shouted, then swept his sharp eyes across their faces.
"What we need to do now is to wipe out the bandits as quickly as possible. We can deal with any other issues after the suppression is over."
"snort!"
"laugh!"
Cheng Yuanshan and Qi Su spoke at the same time and returned to their respective teams.
The scene became quiet, and everyone discovered the difference between Luyang Guard and Qiangzhou Guard. The former was like a child compared to the latter.
Compared with the disciplined and imposing Qiangzhou Guard, the lazy Luyang Guard was like a newly established small workshop.
Comparing the two, Lu Yangwei felt a little ashamed.
Seeing this situation, Qi Su looked at Cheng Yuanshan, whose face was as black as charcoal, with anticipation.
Haha, you've brought shame upon yourself in front of the governor, haven't you?
If Governor Ma returns to Beijing and speaks to the emperor, Cheng Yuanshan's tenure as the commander of the Luyang Guard will be over.
Thinking of this, Qi Su's mouth curled up, and he was in a wonderful mood, which could be described as moody.
When accepting bribes on weekdays, Cheng Yuanshan thought it was good that Lu Yangwei was cowardly, but now he couldn't save face when compared with Qiangzhouwei.
Looking at the way Qi Su looked at him, it was obvious that he couldn't wait to see him in such a miserable state.
Cheng Yuanshan clenched his palms, his eyes darkened a little, and then he smiled brightly.
"Master Ma, your nephew's safety is of paramount importance. Let's quickly discuss a strategy to suppress the bandits!"
Ma Zikun: "Okay, do you have any opinions?"
Speechless for a moment.
Li Pu probed, "Black Wind Stronghold is located on Houyan Mountain east of Huixian County. It's the largest bandit force nearby. If we take Black Wind Stronghold first, it will deter other strongholds."
"Black Wind Village has only about two thousand men, women, and children combined. We have more troops. Why don't we just attack them directly?"
Cheng Yuanshan acted very anxious: "Master Ma, let me lead the troops up the mountain. I will definitely take down Black Wind Village as quickly as possible."
Qi Su sneered: "You? You've been in Luyangwei for so many years and still haven't taken down Black Wind Stronghold. Now that Lord Ma is here, you think you can take down Black Wind Stronghold?"
"you……"
"What? Am I not telling the truth?"
Qi Su glanced at Cheng Yuanshan, whose face was red and his neck was thick. "Everyone knows that you, Cheng Yuanshan, are the most powerful. You have been suppressing the bandits for several years without success, and the bandits are getting stronger every year."
Cheng Yuanshan: "Humph! I don't talk to boys. Sir Ma, please lead the troops up the mountain."
"I know Lord Cheng is eager to suppress the bandits, but Lord Cheng is the commander, so just stay with me in the rear."
Ma Zikun didn't trust the commander of Luyang Guard who had fought against bandits for many years but had achieved nothing, but he was also willing to break up with him right away.
After Cheng Yuanshan reluctantly agreed, Ma Zikun said to Qi Su, "Master Qi, the people of Luyang Guard and Qiangzhou Guard are now in your hands. After we have discussed the countermeasures, you will lead them to capture Black Wind Village."
Cheng Yuanshan finally realized that Ma Zikun was trying to seize the command of Luyangwei from him!
He wouldn't dare to do that.
"Master Ma, I am the commander of the Luyang Guard. The Luyang Guard only listens to me. If I don't let them move, no one else can move."
Damn it, no matter whether he is the governor or not, Lu Yangwei is his, and no one can touch Lu Yangwei without his permission.
The man who had been terrified all the way was completely defeated. He refused to cooperate today. Lu Yangwei had been trained by him like an obedient dog.
Without him, let’s see how this majestic Governor Ma can suppress the bandits.
Tsk, suppress bandits? No! We can’t suppress these bandits!
They are his money bags. Without them, how could he live such a good life now?
When there was no one around, he would send a letter and someone would come to help him solve his problem.
The last time, the assassins were unable to allow Governor Ma to come to Luyang alive. This time, he wanted to hire more assassins. As long as no one returned to the capital alive, no one would know the situation in Luyang, and he could still be the local boss in Luyang.
A hidden murderous intent flashed in Cheng Yuanshan's dark eyes.
However, not everyone here has never seen blood.
When the sword was exposed to the light, the shiny blade reflected a dazzling light, but it was never completely unsheathed.
A small, fair hand pressed against another, darker, larger-boned hand.
Yan Cheng tiptoed closer to the man in black: "Leng Yan, don't worry about him. As long as you are here, I won't be in danger, right?"
"...Yeah." Leng Yan let go and sheathed his sword. "His eyes were so ugly. Although it wasn't directed at you, I was still very unhappy."
Releasing murderous intent right under his nose is simply a provocation to him.
"Then don't look at him, look at something else."
A cloud shaped like a pig floated across the sky. Yan Cheng was about to say, "Look at the cloud," when Leng Yan smiled and asked, "So you want me to look at you?"
