As Liu Ce and the others entered Gao Yang City on their way to the city lord's mansion, they saw that everywhere they looked, the common people were numb from being ravaged by bandits. When they saw Liu Ce and the others, they were filled with fear and shrank away.
The bustling streets in memory are now desolate, with no signs of life, only endless bleakness. Xue Peng and others looked at the once prosperous Gaoyang City, which is now so bleak, and their hearts were also filled with sighs.
Entering the city master's mansion, Liu Ce strode in and sat down in Zhang Hui's original position with his legs crossed. He was accompanied by Xue Peng, Feng Qiu Nian, and Chu Zi Jun.
"First bring some wine and food! I'm starving!" Liu Ce waved his hand grandly, gesturing to Zhang Hui.
Zhang Hui hesitated for a moment, then ordered someone to prepare wine and dishes. He walked slowly to Liu Ce's side and said, "General, look at those elite guards outside the city..."
"Cut the crap!" Liu Zhan slapped his hand on the table, "You're not even full and you want me to risk my life? Your family's Duan Hong isn't as ungrateful as you! Get your damn father away from me, disgusting!"
"You..." The words made Zhang Hui's whole body tremble with rage, he struggled to restrain his impending outburst of anger and smiled: "Yes, yes, it was me who wasn't, but General, you've come all the way from Wuliang Town, dare I ask about the situation on that side?"
In this era, it is impossible for information to spread like in the past. Within minutes, the whole world can know what big event happened somewhere. The news of the defeat of the bandits at Wuliang Town has not been transmitted yet, and Liu Ce also does not know how the battle situation is going on the other side, after all, Su Wenchuan's scouts have not returned to report back.
Liu Ce slammed his hand on the table and shouted: "Can't you understand human language?! Has the food arrived or not?! I'm starving to death! Did you hear me speaking?! How do you handle things?! I just asked one question! My brother and I traveled thousands of miles to get here, we haven't eaten or drunk, we haven't even touched a woman, and yet we're forced to risk our lives outside the city! What kind of logic is this?! Does this Gaoyang City still have any law and order?! Speak up! Do I need to repeat myself again?!
Zhang Hui couldn't help but roll his eyes, damn it, really have to follow the king's law and create a fart of rebellion, what kind of bandit is this? How did Duan Hong find such an unreasonable person?
Seeing Zhang Hui not moving, Feng Chouyan suddenly slammed the axe heavily onto the ground, and instantly the marble floor appeared with spider web-like cracks spreading out from where the axe fell, stunning Zhang Hui and other bandits.
"Hurry up and get ready! If you're still dawdling, I'll have your head chopped off, believe it or not! And mother's, prepare more wine quickly! Also, get those whatever dog-head leaders to come over and discuss matters!"
The roar of anger shook the hall, Zhang Hui rolled and crawled out to send someone to inform the various generals to come to the city master's mansion for discussion, and even Ha Lazi was scared to death.
After Zhang Hui and others left, Liu Ce's face sank and let out a disdainful cold laugh. He then said to Xue Peng in a low voice, "General Xue, I'll be troubling your men soon."
Xue Peng replied, "Please rest assured, since Brother Liu trusts me so much, I will definitely not mess things up."
This time, the main reason for bringing Xue Peng and his troops is that Liu Ce's army is suitable for group battles, but if they are separated to fight alone, the scene will be absolutely unbearable. This is also the current weakness of the Imperial Guard. In a short period of time, it cannot be changed. Xue Peng's men have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and their individual martial arts skills far surpass those of the Imperial Guard. The strategy being executed this time happens to rely heavily on martial arts, and currently, there is no one in the Imperial Guard more suitable for executing this action than Xue Peng's troops.
Before long, the sound of chaotic footsteps and shouting came from outside the mansion. Liu Ce gave a signal to Xue Peng, Feng Qunian, and Chu Zijun, indicating that they should remain calm and not reveal their intentions...
Soon, the main hall of the mansion was packed with people standing in a disorderly manner. Chu Zijun took a quick glance and counted over forty people, including Zhang Hui. After a while, several beautiful women dressed in bright clothes brought plate after plate of wine and meat to Liu Ce and his group.
"Come here." Liu Ce deliberately let out a sly laugh, pulling a civilian woman who had just finished serving wine and food and was about to leave into his own arms. Chu Zi Jun, standing at the side, slightly furrowed his brow, thinking to himself: Is this really a general? He's completely like a starving ghost!
"Pour the wine!" The civilian woman, suppressing her humiliation, forced a smile and poured a full cup of wine for Liu Ce. Xue Peng and Feng Chouyan, sitting on one side, also narrowed their eyes, thinking to themselves that this was unlikely to be real. Seeing the three of them so expressionless, Liu Ce cursed in his heart, "Can't they even act?" He then said to the other three civilian women, "Haha! This general loves this wine, you all come and drink with me, haha!"
The people in the hall suddenly turned black, what the hell is going on, the Imperial Guard outside is about to break in, and you still have the nerve to flirt with women here! Besides, can one person subdue four? So anxious? But someone also sighed, thinking that being young is good, huh...
Then, under the gaze of Zhang Hui and other generals, Liu Ce and Feng Qinnian, Xue Peng three quickly leaned on the table edge, constantly pushing cups and plates to eliminate the wine and food in front of them.
Only Liu Ce tore open a fat chicken, ripped off a leg and without saying a word, stuffed it into his mouth, eating with a loud smacking sound. Next to him, Feng Chou drank three bowls of white wine in one gulp, shouting "good wine!" before picking up the whole fat chicken and gnawing at it fiercely, eating with oil dripping from his mouth. On the other side, Xue Peng wasn't doing much better, his head buried in his plate without lifting it once. Only Chu Zi Jun was still being very elegant while eating the delicious food in front of him, although he had made a great effort to make himself look like a beggar.
"Damn, are they starving to death?" The people in the hall looked at the four men eating ravenously and couldn't help but curse. However, at the same time, they also felt relieved, this team in front of them should be the elite soldiers invited by their general without a doubt.
Liu Ce tore off another chicken leg and was about to eat it when he saw a crowd of people staring at him in a daze, so he stretched out the chicken leg towards them and asked, "Want some?"
"It's all right, it's all right, General, take your time." Zhang Hui hastily waved his hand, looking helpless.
"Oh." Liu Ce responded with a sound and then unceremoniously stuffed the chicken leg into his own mouth. The way he ate made the several women beside him slightly frown, and thinking that they might be tainted by this person in front of them, their hearts suddenly bled and sighed at their own misfortune.
With a full stomach, Liu Ce's plate was filled with leftover bones and some remaining rice. He still had the energy to put his greasy fingers in his mouth and sucked them clean before wiping his mouth and sitting up straight.
Zhang Hui saw that Liu Ze had finished eating and stepped forward, saying: "General, are you satisfied?"
"Hmm." Liu Ce stretched out his big hand and wrapped the two women in his arms, nodding his head in satisfaction. "Not bad."
"Can General Zhang inform Commander-in-Chief of the situation and how are the battles at the five Liang towns?" Zhang Hui hastily asked.
Liu Ce's eyes rolled around and he said, "This matter is confidential, all of you come over here."
"Hmm." Zhang Hui and the others immediately stepped forward and surrounded Liu Ce.
Liu Ce slowly removed his hands from the two civilians and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. I came all the way here just to borrow your heads for a bit of fun."
All the generals were stunned for a moment, and Zhang Hui thought Liu Ce was joking, so he asked again: "Can the hero say it carefully, and what about General Duan's letter?"
Liu Ce gave a cold smile and said: "I'm saying that General wants to borrow your heads for a use..."
"Hiss......" The crowd dispersed immediately, Zhang Hui pointed at Liu Ce and asked: "What kind of people are you after all?"
At this moment, Cao En, who had escaped from Meihe Town and arrived here, recognized Chu Zijun in the crowd and shouted loudly: "They are people from Meihe Town!"
"Meihe Town... Jingwei Camp!" Zhang Hui finally woke up, and the generals behind him suddenly drew their swords, pointing at the four people in front of them.
Liu Ce slowly stood up, the look of embarrassment on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a majestic and domineering demeanor, this temperament was completely different from before.
But Liu Ce stood in front of the table, wiping his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "That's right, General Liu Ce of Jingwei Camp is here to see you off. Besides..." Liu Ce swept his eyes over the mess on the table and coldly smiled, "Thanks for the hospitality!"
The words had just fallen, but then Bao Qian's anger rose to the surface and he let out a loud roar. With his long axe spinning in his hand, two of the bandit leaders' heads flew off instantly. The four women were frightened by this sudden turn of events and they cried out in terror, huddling together in fear.
