Volume 1 Chapter 382 A Beating
Gan Ce had no idea that he was actually being too sensitive. Li Nezha had grown up in the palace for many years, so he was naturally a bit snobbish. In the palace, a high-ranking official could oppress people to death, and the eunuch in charge treated ordinary eunuchs like a master treats his servants. Today, as a new official, he naturally treated Gan Ce, who would work under him in the future, as his subordinate.
Li Nezha actually thought he was already very polite, he just asked the dark guards to go and knock on the door. After all, he still needed Gan Ce's care in the future work. If it was the eunuchs in the palace, it would be disrespectful if they didn't go out to greet him with a big fanfare when he arrived, and he would not forgive them.
There was no one around Li Nezha, so he called the Anbu guards to knock on the door, which led to another misunderstanding.
Who are the members of the Anbu? They are all people with unique skills and high martial arts skills. They have great power in their hands and do not need to be polite to anyone except the emperor. As a result, they are all arrogant and look down on others. They have never entered the officialdom and do not know how to behave in a proper manner. This can be seen from the fact that Lu Feng disliked the silver given by Li Nezha because it was too little and he asked for more directly.
And in Lu Feng's opinion, he was just knocking on the door for Li Nezha in exchange for money, which did not mean that he regarded Li Nezha as his superior. As for the so-called Weihai General Gan Ce, he didn't take him seriously at all.
So this shouting was full of energy. Although Lu Feng had no ill intentions, it might sound a bit rude and insolent to someone who was paying attention.
In fact, Gan Ce had this kind of mentality because he thought too highly of himself and took his status too seriously. If he was easy-going and didn't care about small gifts, he wouldn't feel unhappy.
Of course, if you must say it, he still had some resentment in his heart about the emperor demoting him from the position of admiral to general, so he became resentful and disliked Li Nezha, the new admiral.
Seeing that no one opened the door, Lu Feng was puzzled. After a while, he knocked on the door again and shouted, "Admiral Weihai is here, why don't you come out to greet him!"
Gan Ce in the house was furious after hearing this. The word "welcome" sounded very harsh to him. He rushed to the door angrily, opened the door and was about to get angry, but he was stunned. There was no other figure at the door except his own guards.
Just as he was in a daze, he heard a slightly shrill voice saying, "General Gan, His Majesty's order is for us to set off as soon as possible. After all, the maritime industry is the top priority for the future development of the empire. This admiral has a heavy responsibility and dare not slack off. I wonder if General Gan has finished packing and is ready to set off?"
Gan Ce looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Nezha, wearing a Qilin official robe, standing on a war horse on the avenue outside the courtyard, and the ten guards behind him.
It turned out that Lu Feng had a high level of cultivation. When he knew someone was approaching behind the door, he immediately withdrew and returned to his warhorse. This left Gan Ce puzzled.
Now Gan Ce had no place to vent his anger. After all, as far as he understood, no one could run from the gate to the street in such a short time, so the people who had rudely knocked on the door just now could not be them.
Gan Ce couldn't help but look at his guards on both sides. Seeing that they were standing still in their own posts, as if it had nothing to do with them, he felt even more upset.
Seeing that Gan Ce ignored him, Li Nezha got angry. After all, he was an admiral and he had to manage Gan Ce in the future. Today, the other party was so arrogant. How could he manage him in the future and govern his civil and military officials?
This time, His Majesty did not send him there to play around or gild his reputation, but to let him take back the military and political power in the Canghai area of the entire Dayun Empire, so that the power of the court can spread throughout the Canghai area and achieve true control.
If he couldn't even suppress a Gan Ce, then there was no point in going to Canghai, let alone going out to sea to explore islands.
As a eunuch who grew up in the palace, he may not be very wise, but he has countless clever tricks and ways to punish people. It is no exaggeration to say that he is full of evil intentions. He could not display his abilities in the palace before, but now that he has become an admiral, isn't that like letting a wild dog out to cause trouble?
Li Nezha thought for a moment, then dismounted and walked towards Gan Ce, who was hesitating there, with a swagger and the demeanor of a senior official. The expression on his face was even more arrogant. He raised his head and looked down ahead, his shoulders shaking constantly.
If you see someone behaving like this at the market, he will definitely be beaten to death, and after that you won't be able to find the murderer.
Gan Ce stared at him. Although he knew in his heart that the other party was the Admiral Weihai, he was so angry that he just pretended to be stupid and pretended not to see it.
The ten Anbu guards led by Lu Feng also dismounted at this time and followed behind Li Nezha to protect him in case of any accidents.
Li Nezha staggered in front of Gan Ce and saw that the other party didn't even say hello to him. This was a naked provocation.
Li Nezha is not a pushover. Since Gan Ce pretends that no one is around, he just won't be able to see him.
After thinking about it, he walked towards the open General's Mansion. Gan Ce hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and shouted, "What are you doing? This is the Weihai General's Mansion. Do you want to force your way in?"
Li Nezha walked around it without stopping, and continued walking, saying with a smile: "Hey, we are entering the General Wei Hai's Mansion, and this admiral is looking for General Wei Hai!"
Then Li Nezha stopped and looked at Gan Ce carefully, asking knowingly, "By the way, who are you?"
"Oh, it's the gatekeeper. Go in and tell them that Admiral Weihai has arrived. Tell Gan Ce to come out and kneel down to greet him!"
Gan Ce's forehead was bulging with veins, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "I am Gan Ce, do you want me to kneel down to greet you?"
"Oh? So you are General Weihai!" Li Nezha said in pretended surprise. In fact, the two of them had met in the court before and knew each other, but now they just tacitly refused to recognize each other.
The next moment, Li Nezha's face changed and he shouted sternly, "Since you are Gan Ce, why don't you show respect to me when you see me?"
After saying that, Li Nezha kicked Gan Ce. Gan Ce was a martial artist, so he knew what the other party was going to do as soon as he saw him kick, so he quickly dodged to the side.
Li Nezha kicked in the air and felt his face pale. The next moment, Gan Ce's face darkened. After all, he was the former governor of Weihaiwei. Even if he had surrendered to the court now, he could not allow a eunuch to insult him like this.
Gan Ce became ruthless and decided to go all out and teach this damn eunuch a lesson.
He raised his right hand, grabbed Li Nezha's leg, which he had not yet retracted, and lifted it up, then kicked Li Nezha's other leg that was used to keep him balanced.
In this case, if he exerted a little more force, Li Nezha would definitely fall to the ground with his back facing up, making a fool of himself.
Li Nezha was a eunuch with a thin body. He was so weak that he could not even tie a chicken. Naturally, he was no match for Gan Ce. When he was restrained by the other party, his face changed instantly.
Gan Ce was very proud and was about to use force, but suddenly Li Nezha's body was held back by a big hand. The next moment, a foot kicked out and collided with Gan Ce's foot.
