Liu Feng's smile was genuine; it was a smile from the heart.
I didn't expect this guy to just say it outright.
Liu Feng rolled his eyes at Ma Gaole.
We should at least give Lin Yuan some face; he's already shown a lot of sincerity.
When Ma Gaole stood next to Liu Feng, no one else noticed.
Furthermore, after undergoing a long period of high-intensity training under Liu Feng's tutelage, he had already undergone a complete transformation.
Therefore, even Han Lan, who came from the Han family, did not recognize who Ma Gaole was.
But as soon as Marco said that, everyone's attention was instantly drawn.
"You mean the Tiger Roar Army's food is terrible, they've never even eaten coarse grains?"
Ma Gaole glared at Han Lan, really wanting to go over and give that woman a good beating.
He said it word by word:
"The Tiger Roar Army has never experienced the hardship of eating coarse grains."
These words caused quite a stir among the others.
"Eating coarse grains is considered a hard life?"
"How many ordinary people are eating bran and wild vegetables?"
Hanlan couldn't hold back again and retorted directly.
But upon closer inspection, the person seemed very familiar.
"It's you, General Ma?"
Hanlan looked at Ma Gaole with some disbelief.
"That's not right, General Ma. As a Lieutenant General of the Xuanwu Armor, you are someone His Majesty values. How come you're in the Tiger Roar Army?"
"Could it be that I've made a mistake?"
But there's no mistake. Back then, he was one of the eight great generals of the Xuanwu Armor, and a very outstanding general in the Xuanwu Armor.
The Xuanwu Armor is His Majesty's personal guard, holding a unique position in the Dali army.
The army led by the Han family is known to outsiders as the Han Family Army. It enjoys the deep trust of His Majesty, so in the past, the two armies often sparred and trained together.
The two men in front of me, Ma Gaole and Han Lan, have been my opponents many times, at least eight or ten times.
It can be said that I am quite familiar with it.
"General Ma, it really is you! I never expected to see you here."
Marco laughed heartily.
Hearing Ma Gaole's laughter, Han Lan became even more certain.
“General Ma, it’s definitely you, there’s no mistake. I remember your laughter very clearly.”
"General Ma, what's going on?"
Ma Gaole smiled somewhat helplessly.
How can I explain this? I can't exactly say that Liu Feng forcibly brought me back.
With the Emperor's sword at his neck, he had no choice but to obey.
That would be so embarrassing.
He still loses face in front of women.
"That's right. After I came here with the deputy commander, I heard about the heroic deeds of our great general. I felt that the great general would definitely become a famous general for all time, so I chose to follow him."
Marco Gorlos explained with considerable pride.
Hanlan was completely dumbfounded.
"You broke away from the finest Xuanwu Armor of my Great Li Dynasty and joined a...?"
"Among private armies not authorized by the imperial court?"
Looking at Ma Gaole now, he's nowhere near the tall and imposing figure he used to be; he's just a skinny stick now.
Not to mention equipment and armor.
Previously, Ma Gaole looked quite impressive in his Xuanwu armor, but now, dressed in leather armor, he's not even as good as a centurion in his own Han family army.
Look at it like this.
Hanlan felt that only one word could describe it: miserable.
But Hanlan had no idea that the Tiger Roar Army's armor was far superior to the Black Tortoise Armor; it was not only good-looking but also practical and extremely defensive.
I just don't wear it on ordinary days within Zhengde County.
As for the leather armor I'm wearing now, it's from a long time ago.
Liu Feng gave it to him when he arrived. It's been so long, and he's been training every day; he's long since lost his good condition.
Seeing that the misunderstanding was about to escalate, Ma Gaole quickly explained:
"General Han, please don't misunderstand."
"Being in the Tiger Roar Army is much better than being in the Black Tortoise Armor."
"In the Tiger Roar Army, there is meat every day and white rice at every meal, but there is none of that in the Black Tortoise Armor."
Marco Lecter was right.
The food provided by the Tiger Roar Army was absolutely the best among all army meals in the world.
Liu Feng laughed heartily.
At first, things might have been a bit tough, but now, the one thing we have in abundance is meat. We hunt and fish, and we have so much meat every day that we can't possibly eat it all.
The delicacies and wild game that high-ranking officials and nobles used to pay exorbitant prices for, they now feel nauseous just looking at.
But these words sounded quite different to Hanlan.
If dying were really like you described, eating big meals of meat and fish every day, how could you go from being a fat person to looking like this?
"General Ma..."
Han Lan looked embarrassed. He had only one feeling: Ma Tianle was just too concerned about saving face.
On the surface, they didn't expose each other, but in their words...
"However, I advise you to carefully consider the matter of military pay."
"Don't talk big."
"By the standards of our Tiger Roar Army, that's exceptionally high."
After all, Ma Tianle had known Han Lan before when they were in the capital, so he couldn't help but remind her.
Liu Feng chuckled.
Tucker knew all too well that Ma Tianle wasn't giving a hint at all; he was just showing off.
It's very simple. At this moment, Magalhauer saw the patrolling soldiers coming.
Marco Polo understood one thing very well: the best way to refute someone's claims was to let the facts speak for themselves.
"General Ma, what do you mean by that?"
“General Han, you are also a commander. As far as I know, your Han family army and the Xuanwu Armor where I used to serve are the best-treated armies in Dali.”
