They were also in Linjing County. While the place where the Xuzhou envoy was staying was in an uneasy mood, the Linjing County Governor's Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lights, and everything was happy.

In order to satisfy the city's largest creditor, Ma Ai mobilized all the servants in the mansion and transformed the governor's mansion in just half an hour.

There are many armored men outside the door, all with fine armor and helmets, long bows on their waists, and long halberds in their hands. Their eyes are cold and their aura is strong.

These are all soldiers who Ma Ai spent a lot of effort to select from the army to act as bodyguards. In order to let Zeng Yu see the strength of his Anding County, they were all used as a front.

There were also people lined up to welcome him, holding red cloths in their hands, all smiling, and they were preparing to shout welcome at the top of their lungs as soon as Zeng Yu's car arrived.

These are also the cheerleaders that Ma Ai hired with money from nearby. Not only that, but they also promised, after the welcoming ceremony, these precious red cloths will be their personal possessions. They are all happy and looking forward to it.

The arrival of distinguished guests.

Well, in order to study the style of Zeng Yu, the city's largest financial financier, Ma Ai also raised a large group of strangers in the mansion. The idea of ​​this cheerleading team was thought up by a stranger in the mansion.

Ma Ai personally greeted him at the door of the mansion, dressed in elegant clothes, with a sword hanging on his waist, giving off the aura of a noble person.

Such a big battle, is it considered condescending? With this thought, Ma Ai waited calmly at the door, expecting Zeng Yu to be shocked when he saw this big scene!

Although Ma Ai regarded Zeng Yu seriously, he could put on such a grand scene.

However, what this world pays attention to is strength! With Ma Ai's current strength, how can Zeng Yu fully pay attention to it? Otherwise, Zeng Yu would not have gone deep into the tiger's den to come here.

When Zeng Yu got out of the car and saw the cheers and the dazzling red color, there was no surprise or admiration in his eyes, but a hint of ridicule inadvertently.

This Ma Ai, with his talent and strength, can only control one county, but he wants to swallow up a state.

Although this Ma family can be regarded as an aristocratic family, there is a world of difference between this Ma family and Ma Teng's Ma family.

Talking about the strength of the famous generals, there is no first-class general who can determine the state, only a passable Yin Feng.

Talking about counselors and civil servants, they are completely useless! With such strength, he still dares to swallow up a state with his belly full, no wonder his teeth are chipped!

It can be said that Su Ze of Jiuquan County is far better than him! Su Ze himself is a civil servant with good governance, and he also has two famous generals. His family is a top-notch family with descendants all over the world and has been passed down for thousands of years! Even without the Lu Bu faction in Bingzhou

Zhang Liao rescued Su Ze, and Su Ze would never be defeated by the coalition formed by Ma Ai.

It can be seen from the news of the final battle sent back from Er Shaotian and Makino that although the Qiang and Di tribes in the county were frightened by the coalition forces in the early stage and did not dare to come forward, they still swarmed in at the last moment and surrounded the coalition forces...

…

As for Su Ze's influence in calling on the whole county, Ma Ai doesn't have it either!

Ma Ai, who had been defeated twice in a row, had no glory left in front of Zeng Yu!

This time, it was just the first meeting between Zeng Yu and Ma Ai.

Zeng Yu has already seen through Ma Ai's desire for support. All he needs to do now is to smash Ma Ai's remaining pride to pieces, and then calmly seek benefits from Ma Ai!

"Mr. Ma Shi, it's our first time to meet you. I'm really honored by your grand gesture!" After getting off the carriage, Zeng Yu straightened his clothes and held his chest high. He ignored the cheering people on both sides and walked towards Ma Ai with a smile.

This is coming over.

Ma Ai looked at Zeng Yu, who was walking over, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He had been paying attention to Zeng Yu's reaction. From the time he got off the car to the time he came over, Zeng Yu didn't show any surprise or sigh.

Could it be that such a grand welcome could not arouse the reaction of Zeng Yu, who did not look amazing? Didn't he have any vanity at all?

After thinking about it, Ma Ai still stepped forward and bowed: "Master Jinzhi, who is famous all over the world, is coming to this county. Even if you are the opposite, you should be welcomed. This little thing is just a little thought on my part! Let Master Jinzhi come to this county.

What a joke!"

"Haha!" Zeng Yu smiled slightly, looked at the guards standing on both sides in front of the mansion, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, these warriors in front of your door are all soldiers of hundreds of battles! What a pity! What a pity!"

As soon as Zeng Yu came up, he just exchanged greetings and changed the subject, leaving Ma Ai confused and asked: "Lord Jinzhi, why is it such a pity?"

"It's a pity that such a brave soldier was not used on the battlefield. Instead, he showed you the gate. Isn't it a pity?" Just above the street, in front of the gate of the governor's mansion, the people cheered in unison, attracting everyone's attention.

Then, Zeng Yu went straight to the point and gave Ma Ai a blunt taunt...

"Zeng Yu, what do you mean?" Zeng Yu was so shameless and so bluntly sarcastic that Ma Ai's face immediately turned ugly. He didn't even bother to address Zeng Yu by name and just called him by his first name! Just thinking about it.

In full view of the public, he did not fall out on the spot. Otherwise, with Ma Ai's temper, he would have had to drive Zeng Yu away, and even question Zeng Yu.

"A mere stranger dares to speak to my lord like this..."

"Our Lord, you kindly spend so much energy to receive you, but you are so disrespectful..."

"This is not your Huce Mansion, but our lord's Anding County! Don't be presumptuous!"

"Take good care of our lord and beg for mercy. Maybe there is still a way to survive! Otherwise, we will meet each other with swords and swords!"

…

Although Ma Ai had scruples and did not dare to get angry in public, the civil servants behind him pointed at Zeng Yu and started shouting.

This movement made the cheering people around realize that the atmosphere was not good, and their strength to wave the red cloth inevitably decreased...

"Hehe... I actually have no ill intentions. Sir Shijun is overthinking it." Zeng Yu looked around and then said calmly to Ma Ai: "Sir Shijun, you would not think of talking to Ma Ai in this situation.

Should I start a quarrel? It would be beneath my dignity!"

There was a tacit understanding of the person behind Zeng Yu. At this time, he also stepped forward, evil spirit spurting out from his eyes. This ugly and ferocious face of a typical Hu man immediately made those civil servants who shouted that they were not having fun shudder.

.

The two generals in the county, Yin Feng, stayed in Dunhuang to rectify the troops, and Na Yang Kui, who had already regained his military power after Tian Le's death.

Now there are only a few civil servants and low-ranking military generals left in the county. Facing Xie Guini, a second-rate general who is not very impressive, he can't show any prestige? Unless Ma Ai has no scruples and lets his men attack together.

.

Considering his status, Ma Ai had no choice but to remain speechless when faced with Zeng Yu, the evil guest who came to the door in front of a large crowd. Otherwise, the county guard would not want to make a fool of himself in front of everyone. What's more, he didn't know.

What trump card does Zeng Yu have, and how can he dare to fall out? Zeng Yu is a warlord who far exceeds him in both hard and soft power!

Seeing this scene, Zeng Yu was about to fall silent. He smiled again and said, "Your Majesty, please go in and talk!"

The huge, majestic and solemn aura of Jun Lintianxia quietly erupted, which was comparable to the aura of a monarch general. The shocked Ma Ai couldn't help but move sideways to pass the empty space...

"Please..." Ma Ai waved her hands coldly and said. Although she didn't know where the trembling in her heart came from, her feelings towards Zeng Yu still didn't change at all.

The leaders of the two major forces met for just a moment, but they were on the same level. It really makes people feel that the world is strange.

The people on both sides entered the mansion and walked in separate rows, speechless to each other.

It was not until they sat down in rows in the hall that Ma Ai said coldly: "Zeng Yu, just tell me what your purpose is! If you are here to see my joke, then please leave this county!"

"Your Majesty, why should you think too much? I'm just telling the truth! Such an excellent soldier is only used to guard the door. He is overqualified and underused, isn't he? Haha, don't take it seriously! This next sentence is just a joke."

Zeng Yu unceremoniously grabbed a sand pear on the melon and fruit bowl in front of the case, opened his mouth and nibbled it. The crunching sound made the Anding County officials and generals in the hall secretly despise it.

You don’t take yourself seriously at all! This Zeng Yu!

"You..." Ma Ai pointed at Zeng Yu, her face turned red, and her breathing sound was like a cow's gasp...

"I heard that Sir, do you want to borrow money from our Man's Bank again? You've just spent all the ten million taels of gold?" Zeng Yu ate a pear in two mouthfuls and threw the bone to the ground with a wave of his hand.

He turned his mouth and clapped his hands, and seemed to still have some unfinished thoughts. The officials and generals in the hall wanted to beat him when they saw it. They finally figured out that this Zeng Yu seemed to be here to collect debts.

The one who takes advantage of others is soft-hearted and the one who eats them is short-tongued! Before Ma Ai could get angry, Zeng Yu opened his mouth and mentioned the previous debt, which made Ma Ai wake up immediately and lost all his temper.

The gold he took was actually paid to them in Anding County, and the agreement was written in black and white! There was no room for him not to acknowledge the debt.

Having lost two famous generals to help him take charge of the county, he did not have the strength or confidence to fight with Zeng Yu. What's more, he still wanted to borrow money to tide over the latest difficulties! The defeat of the two wars had depleted his financial resources, and the landowners and gentry in the country

Stay away. If there is no capital injection yet, he will wait for the Qiang and Di tribes in the counties to overthrow him from the position of county governor.

Under this situation, he could only hold back his temper and hold back his resentment. He changed his tone and said slowly: "Lord Jinzhi, victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers! You are also a soldier, so you don't understand this truth.

Right? As long as you can continue to support me here, I may not be able to turn around in the future!"

Everyone in the hall heard Ma Ai's change of words and no longer dared to scream. Even the envoy's tone was submissive, what else could they shout about?

"Of course! I, Zeng Yu, have always understood Master Zhijun's ambitions!" Zeng Yu didn't care what others thought. He slowly took out another sand pear on the table, wiped it with his hands and started nibbling again.

While chewing the sand pear, he said vaguely: "Given the relationship between Shijun and our Huce Mansion, support is definitely no problem! However, with your record of two defeats, I want to get more support...

…”

At this time, no matter how stupid Ma Ai is, he knows that Zeng Yu must have come with a purpose. He has no strength now, just like the first time, he took away 10 million taels of gold in vain. Think about it since they met,

Zeng Yu had a sarcastic attitude, and it was obvious that he would only borrow gold again if he had to pay something visible.

"Lord Jinzhi, whatever your purpose is, just speak up! We will not speak secretly!" In order to get through this difficulty, Ma Ai had to be very energetic and looked at Zeng with piercing eyes.

Yu, said word by word: "Our Anding County is now

Only the territory and population are left. I wonder what Lord Jinzhi needs?" They were also in Linjing County. When the Xuzhou envoy was staying in a state of anxiety, but here at the Linjing County Sheriff's Mansion, Zhang

The lights were decorated with colorful lights, and it looked like a happy place.

In order to satisfy the city's largest creditor, Ma Ai mobilized all the servants in the mansion and transformed the governor's mansion in just half an hour.

There are many armored men outside the door, all with fine armor and helmets, long bows on their waists, and long halberds in their hands. Their eyes are cold and their aura is strong.

These are all soldiers who Ma Ai spent a lot of effort to select from the army to act as bodyguards. In order to let Zeng Yu see the strength of his Anding County, they were all used as a front.

There were also people lined up to welcome him, holding red cloths in their hands, all smiling, and they were preparing to shout welcome at the top of their lungs as soon as Zeng Yu's car arrived.

These are also the cheerleaders that Ma Ai hired with money from nearby. Not only that, but they also promised, after the welcoming ceremony, these precious red cloths will be their personal possessions. They are all happy and looking forward to it.

The arrival of distinguished guests.
