Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 106: Dispute between Masters
"Brother Ma, Master has sent you all the way to Luoyang to work in the imperial court. This is a heavy responsibility, and it concerns the life and death of our Taiping Dao. This shows how much Master trusts you!"

A man with a light yellow scarf on his head said this with a hint of flattery, while a man with a hooked nose next to him stroked his beard, looking a little proud.

"Haha, Junior Brother, you are too kind. It is our duty as disciples to share the worries of our Master. It is tiring to serve our brother, but I will do it without hesitation! Unlike you, Junior Brother Tang, you follow the Master every day and don't have to do anything. It's really much easier!"

The man's sarcastic remarks made the man in the white scarf a little angry, but he soon smiled again.

"Oh, Master always said that there are many heroes in Ji and Bing. Now that we are in Jinyang City, why don't we stay for a few more days and visit around. Our Taiping Dao is still blank in Bingzhou, so why not take this opportunity to develop some believers and lay a good foundation for Master's great cause? What do you think, Junior Brother Tang?"

Seeing his senior brother Ma staring at him with a smile, junior brother Tang felt a little uneasy.

"Brother, what you said is absolutely right. I will go and investigate tomorrow morning."

Senior Brother Ma saw that his junior fellow disciple was quite sensible and nodded with satisfaction.

The next day, Junior Brother Tang was woken up just as the sky was getting light.

"Junior brother, Master's important matter is very important, we can't be lazy." Senior Brother Ma said meaningfully.

Of course the junior brother surnamed Tang knew that he was deliberately making things difficult for him, but there was nothing he could do since his master trusted him. He had to pretend to be very respectful and quickly got up.

"Brother, you are right. I will leave now to investigate the surrounding areas carefully."

After this junior fellow turned around and left, Senior Brother Ma's face immediately became gloomy.

"Humph, you stinky boy, you want to compete with me for my favor? Don't you even know your own weight?"

After the junior brother walked out of the dilapidated temple, his face immediately became gloomy.

"Damn it! Ma Yuanyi, one day, I, Tang Zhou, will make you pay!"

Tang Zhou left angrily and came to a restaurant in the city. This kind of place was the most convenient place to get information. There were all kinds of people there, and maybe he could get some useful information.

Although Tang Zhou was very dissatisfied with Ma Yuanyi, he also knew that he did not have the ability to fight against him now, so he had always been so submissive on the surface, but he still had to do what he should do honestly.

He ordered some snacks and drinks and sat aside, enjoying them leisurely while listening to the various sounds around him.

However, after eating for nearly an hour, he didn't get any useful information, which made the waiter look at him with ill intent, thinking that he didn't have money to pay the bill and that was why he was taking so long to leave.

"What bad luck! You always go against me in everything!"

Tang Zhou cursed inwardly and prepared to pay the bill and leave.

At this moment, a loud voice came over: "Shopkeeper, bring us your best meat and wine. We want to eat and drink well, sir!"

When Tang Zhouyi heard that several officers from Jinyang City had arrived, he immediately perked up and quickly sat back down. However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he took out money to pay the previous bill, and then ordered some more food. The waiter's expression immediately became flattering.

Three soldiers walked in swaggeringly, picked a seat and sat down at random, put their weapons on the table with a "bang", poured a cup of tea and started drinking.

"Hey, damn it, this new military officer is a piece of shit! How can the training be so harsh!" After drinking three cups of tea in a row, the tallest sergeant among them complained out loud.

"That's right. This Gao guy, relying on his bravery to win the respect of the governor and the captain, doesn't treat us soldiers as human beings! This training is almost like a death sentence for us!"

The complaints of these two people made another sergeant nearby look around quickly.

"Hey, hey, hey, you two, be careful, this is not your home, don't talk nonsense!"

Who knew that his reminder would make the two even more unhappy.

"What's wrong? Are you not allowed to speak? He's just a military marquis. Even if I scold him and he knows, what can he do to me?"

"That's right. He doesn't treat us as human beings. He has only been in office for three days, and we have been tortured by him. Our backs ache and we have no strength left. How can we fight? I don't know what the governor likes about him!"

"What you two brothers said is true. The training these days is indeed a bit harsh. He is happy and comfortable, but we are miserable!"

The three of them talked one after another, and Tang Zhou listened to most of what they said. He actually became interested in the newly appointed military marquis named Gao.

The government troops these days are basically a bunch of incompetent trash. Even if they are not just occupying positions and drawing salaries, they are all lazy and incompetent. It is rather strange to suddenly see such a general who is strict in military discipline.

However, the three people's next words aroused Tang Zhou's greater interest.

"Don't mention it. This Gao said that in the small county next to us, Langdiao County, there is a militia team that is more powerful than us, so he wants us to train harder. What nonsense! They are just a few country folk. What can they be capable of? I think he is just trying to pick on us to show off his own power!"

"That's right. I agree with Brother Li. I think he is just trying to establish his authority by doing this!"

However, another sergeant frowned and expressed a different opinion.

"Brothers, I have heard of that militia. As you all know, my hometown is Yangqu County. My wife brought my son to see me some time ago and she mentioned it to me."

This made the two men look over, obviously wanting to hear what the militia that indirectly "harmed" them so badly looked like.

The sergeant took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"Speaking of which, this militia has been famous in Langdiao County for many years, but they have always been suppressing bandits without making any big moves, so they have not been noticed by our governor's office. But when my wife mentioned this army, she smiled like a flower blooming on the mountain, and kept praising them, saying that they protected the people, reclaimed wasteland, and drove away almost all the bandits within a radius of hundreds of miles, allowing tens of thousands of people to live in peace."

These words made the two soldiers a little unhappy.

"Brother, I don't like what you said. It's just a little banditry, not worth mentioning at all. The militia probably just happened to win once or twice, and the ignorant people in the countryside praised them as saviors. I don't think it's worth bragging about!"

As the saying goes, "Love the house and love the dog", these two people hated their new military officer, so they had no good feelings towards the militia. Of course, they could not accept it when they heard others say good things about the militia.

In addition to the fight between the two brothers, there is also a small ambush in this chapter. Let's think about it.
