Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 206 Verbal Confrontation

Liu He and others looked at each other.

"Someone is coming to the Governor's Mansion? Could it be... this Wang Chen?"

"Haha, you came just in time! I was just worried about not being able to find him!"

Cheng Liang was about to rush out, but was grabbed by Liu He.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We don't even know who it is. Just follow behind and don't be reckless."

Liu He led his group all the way to the city wall.

Prefect Ye had just arrived as well. Several people went out of the city gate together and saw two people on horseback outside the gate, followed by a team of cavalrymen, which looked to be about five or six hundred people. Everyone had a solemn look on their face, and they had obviously been through many battles.

The two leaders looked young. One of them was dressed like a scholar, while the other had a muscular build, eyes as big as bells, and looked very majestic.

"Brother, it really is that guy from back then!"

Cheng Liang recognized at a glance that the scholar was the one they had taught a lesson for riding a horse and committing crimes on the street a few years ago.

"Don't worry, let's wait and see." Liu He grabbed Cheng Liang and said soothing words.

The scholar looked arrogant, as if he looked down on everyone, and pointed at Liu He and others with his whip.

"Who is the governor here? Come out and answer."

Ye Wang frowned, feeling a little unhappy. He was the governor of a certain place, and he was also an elder after all. It was really a shame for such a young man to be so rude.

"I am the governor Ye Wang. I wonder if you have any advice for me."

The scholar was about to speak when Governor Ye suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Ah! Yes, look at the cavalry behind you, each of them is very imposing. Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, you must be sent by the court to rescue Yanmen, right? Alas, over the years, the Xianbei have grown stronger. A few years ago, there were only 60,000 to 70,000 cavalry, but now there are more than 100,000. The northern border of the Han Dynasty is in danger. You are loyal heroes who can come to rescue under such circumstances. You are much stronger than those who only knew how to abuse their power and even drew the court's border troops as their own private soldiers!"

Ye Wang's weak words actually made the scholar not know what he wanted to say for a moment. He just opened his mouth for a long time without making any sound.

"Pfft...Brother, this Governor Ye usually looks gentle and weak, but he has a bad temper."

Zhu Ye teased softly behind Liu He.

"Haha, it's not the governor's fault for being so mean, it's just that some people are ill-educated."

Liu He said this, but in his heart he still looked up to this Governor Ye. His words were a typical example of "flattery". At this point, if the person on the other side wanted to put on airs and throw a tantrum, he would probably be embarrassed.

Sure enough, the scholar snorted softly, seemed to realize that something was wrong, and then lowered his attitude a little.

"So it's Governor Ye. I'm Wang Chen, the deputy governor of Bingzhou. I'm here on important military business under the order of the governor."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wang straightened his expression.

"Since you are sent by the governor, please come into the city and talk."

Wang Chen stepped on the horse he was riding, and walked slowly into the city with the general beside him and the cavalry behind him.

Liu He didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but when Wang Chen passed by him, Liu He seemed to see him glance at him for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

However, Liu He did not care about these things. He knew very well that Wang Chen must have come with bad intentions today.

He held down Cheng Liang and led everyone into the city.

In the meeting room of the prefectural government, everyone took their seats.

"I wonder what instructions the governor has?"

Ye Wang looked at the young man in front of him. Although he hated Wang Chen from the bottom of his heart, he was busy with official business after all, so he could do nothing about it.

Wang Chen clasped his fists and said, "The governor learned that Ye Taishou and Liu Duwei had used thunderous means to eliminate many tyrants and tyrants in Yanmen County who embezzled the frontier army's food and money and used the frontier soldiers as private soldiers, and eliminated a group of great harm to the country. He was very pleased and sent Chen to commend him." Ye Taishou was stunned, as if he didn't expect this reason. However, as the saying goes, "Don't hit a smiling person", since the other party said so, he had to be polite.

"Thank you for your praise, Governor. I have done nothing in this matter. These tyrants have been occupying many resources of the border army for a long time, and I have been helpless. It was after this Captain Liu took office that he acted decisively and with extraordinary courage, which made our border army so powerful today."

Only then did Wang Chen finally look at Liu He straight in the eye.

"So it was Captain Liu's achievement. I have heard for a long time that Captain Liu is of royal blood. Although he has been living in a remote place among the common people and his bloodline cannot be traced, he has repeatedly suppressed bandits and brought peace to the people since he was a teenager. Later, he even killed the three brothers of the traitor Zhang Jiao with his own hands. Seeing him today, he is indeed a man of outstanding talent."

"What the hell are you talking about! What do you mean by bloodline cannot be traced? If you don't explain it clearly today, I will kill you with a knife!"

Cheng Liang was already furious, and now hearing what he said, he became even more furious. He drew out a sword and pointed it at Wang Chen, cursing.

At this time, the burly general next to Wang Chen also stood up instantly.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to the Lord Beijia? Ask the knife in my hand first!"

How could Cheng Liang, who had a bad temper, be frightened? He just took a step forward.

"Damn it, do you dare to fight me for three hundred rounds?"

Unexpectedly, the man sneered and said, "I'm afraid you won't last more than three rounds against me."

These words completely ignited the last bit of Cheng Liang's bottom line.

"Wow! I'm so angry! I'm going to kill you!"

Cheng Liang pretended to chop him down.

"Third brother, don't act rashly!"

Liu He rushed out in one step, like a meteor or lightning, and arrived first, snatching Cheng Liang's sword.

"Wang Biejia is here on behalf of the governor. If you are disrespectful to him, you are disrespecting the governor. Sit back down quickly. If you dare to cause trouble again, I will punish you."

Cheng Liang had no choice but to sit back in his seat.

Wang Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "What do you mean, Commander Liu? What you mean is that if I don't have the official duties of the governor, then the position of Beijia alone is not worthy of your respect, right?"

Liu He smiled harmlessly and said, "Haha, you are too suspicious, my Lord. If you were representing yourself, your official position would be higher than mine, so how could I dare to be rude to you? But now you are representing the Governor, and with the Governor's status here, how dare we, the others, hold on to our status?"

Wang Chen’s smile froze.

"Hehe, you are such a sharp-tongued person. Are you saying that Mr. Wang is arrogant and self-righteous?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ye Wang hurried out to smooth things over.

"Oh, Commandant Liu has absolutely no such intention. He has always been loyal to the court and is very respectful to the governor. Wang Biejia is worrying too much. Let's get down to business. Does the governor have any other instructions?"

Wang Chen couldn't take advantage of the topic anymore and had to get back to the point.

"This time, Wang came here, in addition to commending Governor Ye and Commandant Liu, there is indeed an important military task, which involves the issue of foreign tribes attacking the border this autumn. This matter has become the biggest disaster in the northern border of our great Han Dynasty. We should always remember to share the worries of the court. I wonder what the Governor and Commandant Liu think?"

Ye Taishou was straightforward and nodded instinctively, saying, "Yes, that's true. Yanmen County has suffered from them for a long time. I deeply admire the governor's dedication to the country. After the reorganization of our county, although the military strength has been greatly improved, it is still unknown whether it can stop the Xianbei cavalry. In the final analysis, it is because there are too few cavalry. Now the deputy driver has led hundreds of cavalry here. Although the number is not large, they are all elite troops and will surely shine in the subsequent wars."

Liu He didn't say anything. He always felt that Wang Chen must have some conspiracy, but he couldn't see it now, so he simply didn't express his opinion.

As soon as Ye Wang finished speaking, Wang Chen shook his head and smiled.

"Your Excellency the Governor is wrong. We are not here for reinforcements."

Ye Wang was surprised. "Oh? Why is that? Is there any military situation more urgent than the Xianbei army? I really can't think of it. I hope you can explain it clearly."

Liu He also frowned, unable to guess what Wang Chen was trying to do.
