Volume 1 Chapter 383 Playing dumb
Gan Ce only felt that the opponent was so powerful that he felt like he had hit a wall, so he quickly retreated. The next moment, the hand he was holding to grab Li Nezha was also restrained by someone.
The person who took action was Lu Feng from the Anbu. He was ordered to protect Li Nezha, so naturally he would not let anyone attack Li Nezha. He would stop any action that might threaten Li Nezha.
Lu Feng exerted force in his hands and used his own method to retaliate against Gan Ce, throwing him out and making him fall to the ground.
Li Nezha was still in shock, but when he saw Gan Ce being knocked down, his resentment for being bullied just now came up, and he quickly ran over and started punching and kicking Gan Ce, who had not yet had time to get up.
"You don't take me seriously, this is the end. I'll beat you for being blind and arrogant. You attacked an official of the imperial court, so you deserve to be beaten..."
Li Nezha was talking nonsense, he just felt that it would make him feel more comfortable to say such words while beating people.
The guards who were guarding the door nearby saw their master being beaten and rushed over with swords drawn, but they were quickly knocked to the ground by the other Anbu guards and were unable to move.
Gan Ce was a rough man who could not stand such humiliation. The next moment, he endured the pain and jumped up from the ground, knocked Li Nezha to the ground, and punched Li Nezha in the face again and again.
With just one punch, Li Nezha vomited blood. With another punch, he screamed. Gan Ce felt relieved and hit him again. Li Nezha quickly raised his hands to protect his face and shouted, "Help, help!"
Lu Feng was very upset. He didn't like Li Nezha being so cowardly, but the mission was important, so he went over and grabbed Gan Ce's shoulders and lifted him up. He actually caught the tall man out of thin air, then threw him aside and smashed him against the door.
Gan Ce groaned, and felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. He couldn't even stand up for a while. Li Nezha, who was saved, felt that he was fine. After getting up, he rushed towards Gan Ce who was on the ground and shouted, "You dare to hit me? I'm the admiral! You are lawless. Is there any law?"
The two men immediately started fighting again. Li Nezha was thin, and his punches and kicks did not have much power. They could not hurt Gan Ce at all, but just made him feel a little painful.
So after Li Nezha hit him a few times, Gan Ce immediately fought back, pinning Li Nezha under him and beating him non-stop.
Lu Feng had no choice but to pull the two apart again, but not long after, they started fighting again. Every time, Li Nezha suffered a loss and was no match for Gan Ce.
In fact, the reason why Li Nezha was so relentless in attacking Gan Ce was because of his inferiority complex.
As a eunuch for many years, he was not a man and had never seen outsiders in the palace, so naturally he didn't feel anything. But now that he has become a high-ranking official, this obscure thing has become a pain in his heart.
Moreover, he used to be a slave and a lackey, but now he is a first-rank official admired by everyone, so he is very sensitive and fragile inside, and has a strong self-esteem. Today, Gan Ce ignored him, and Li Nezha felt that this was an insult to him.
It was a farce. Soon the people in the general's mansion received the news, and a large number of soldiers with swords rushed out of the mansion and surrounded them.
These people were Gan Ce's personal soldiers brought into the capital. The captain of the army came running over in a hurry and wanted to help, but when he saw Gan Ce riding on someone and beating him, he didn't know whether to help or not.
Seeing that things had gotten out of hand, Lu Feng knew that he could not let the two of them continue making trouble, so he stepped forward, grabbed the two of them one in each hand and forcibly separated them.
The spiritual energy in his body shook, and no matter how the two struggled and shouted, they could no longer get close to each other.
At this time, the two people's appearance formed a sharp contrast. Gan Ce's hair and clothes were a little messy, and some parts of his skin were slightly red, but it was not a big deal.
Looking at Li Nezha again, his mouth was full of blood, his nose and face were swollen, his body was trembling, and he kept whimpering. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
Seeing that he looked half dead, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel worried. He was worried that he would fail in his duty if he died, so he hurried to check Li Nezha's injuries.
After checking, Lu Feng found that Li Nezha had only suffered some minor injuries. He couldn't help but look at Gan Ce. He thought that this man also knew the importance of the position of admiral and didn't dare to be ruthless. He couldn't help but step back and watch the show.
When Gan Ce's personal soldiers saw Lu Feng taking action, they all drew their swords and wanted to come up to help, shouting, "Let go of General Gan!"
"Stop!" Gan Ce shouted at this moment: "Everyone retreat and put away your knives!"
Li Nezha, as the admiral of Weihai, came here in all the glory, but he was beaten so badly that he was really furious. He was not afraid at all, and cursed while bleeding: "Why are you running? Come on, come up, and kill me if you have the guts!"
"I am the admiral appointed by His Majesty. If you don't want to live, just come up. I want to see how many of you have the guts to hit me!"
Seeing that Li Nezha was really angry, Gan Ce didn't want to make a big deal out of it. After all, this was still in the capital, someone else's territory. No matter how domineering you were, could you be more domineering than the emperor?
So Gan Ce said submissively: "I was the only one who beat you, what does it have to do with them!"
Gan Ce then shouted to his personal soldiers: "I told you all to retreat, didn't you hear me?"
Li Nezha looked at him fiercely and cursed: "You are the first to come forward, right? You hit me so hard just now!"
As he said that, Li Nezha handed over his head and shouted coldly: "If you have the guts, try hitting me again!"
Seeing that Li Nezha was so ignorant of the situation and refused to back down, Gan Ce's temper, which had just been suppressed, flared up again. It was not like he had fought with Li Nezha before.
However, Gan Ce was about to take action but forced himself to hold back because he noticed that each of Li Nezha's guards were very powerful. Now that the other party did not make a move to capture him, it must be that the situation was favorable.
Gan Ce shouted coldly: "Humph, it was obviously you who started it. Even if this matter is brought to the attention of His Majesty, I am still right."
"Arrogant!" Li Nezha shouted, "What do you mean by reasonable? I am the Admiral of Weihai, and I have been ordered to come here to take up my post with you. But you, knowing clearly that I am the Admiral of Weihai, pretend not to know me. What? Do you want to disobey the order and not go?"
"You..." Gan Ce was furious, but how could he disobey the order? He snorted coldly and said, "How do I know you are the new governor of Weihai!"
“How dare you quibble!” Li Nezha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued, “This admiral has already announced his identity when he came up, but you, as the General of Weihai, a mere third-rank military officer, didn’t even greet me when you saw me, but you actually pretended to be stupid and said you didn’t know me!”
Li Nezha pointed at his official robe and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me. You must recognize this Qilin robe with a dragon head and a horse body on me!"
Gan Ce said angrily: "Humph, so what if he is an admiral? Can he beat people up for no reason?"
