"There's no hurry. Let's just wait and see."
"This old man is very interested in this young friend of yours," said the old man.
"I didn't expect a famous old liar like you to speak the truth."
Zuo Ci chuckled.
Yu Ji's face darkened.
"What are you talking about?"
"How am I lying?"
"Let me tell you, you didn't hide your aura when you came this time. My Martial Nephew sensed it."
"She has already informed our young friend Bai Feng that you have disturbed him."
"If you still don't show up, aren't you afraid that he will leave?"
Zuo Ci stood with his hands behind his back and shook his head.
"No, no, no."
"If he doesn't even have this much courage, then it's meaningless."
"I just want to see how he reacts now."
Yu Ji shook his head helplessly.
This guy was simply a lunatic.
So much so that he was pulled back halfway and said that he was afraid that he would lie to him, so he asked him to come with him.
In the end, they came together and he was no longer in a hurry. Was he here to watch the show?
"You'd better hide your aura. Don't scare my Martial Nephew."
Yu Ji said angrily.
Zuo Ci raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What are you afraid of?"
"That Zhang Jiao's daughter has killed countless people with lightning techniques. Although they are not from the Central Plains, they are still lives."
"However, why didn't that old guy Nanhua give him a heavenly punishment?"
"On the other hand, you only secretly pushed it, and you're going to be punished by lightning?"
Yu Ji rolled his eyes at Zuo Ci.
"Aren't you asking the obvious?"
"My Martial Nephew was killed because his adoptive parents were killed. Every time he attacked, it was because a village in the Central Plains was massacred."
"Do you really think that he would attack casually?"
"How can my nature be the same?"
"I secretly cast an illusion on the monarch of Dong Yue Wu, and it has already affected the entire country."
"I originally wanted to hide secretly, but I didn't expect … Sigh."
At this point, Yu Ji sighed helplessly.
He was already mentally prepared before he did this.
The impact shouldn't be great. At most, he would be scolded a little.
However, he didn't expect Sun Quan to be so cruel. He killed many people in a row, and these people were indirectly killed by him.
As a result, he actually attracted the Curse of Heavenly Punishment.
Yu Ji was truly helpless and miserable.
Otherwise, Yu Jicai wouldn't have bothered to look for Zuo Ci and tell him that Bai Feng's talent was outstanding.
"Looks like you're still very clear about it."
Zuo Ci glanced at Yu Ji with disdain.
Yu Jiren was so angry that he almost went mad.
Although Zuo Ci was much stronger than him, the two of them had known each other for many years and understood each other very well.
Who would have thought that after not seeing him for more than ten years, this old man was still as cocky as before?
…
The next day, in Xi Liang City.
"Jing Si? Why are you here? "
Ma Chao was overjoyed to see Li Cunxiao.
However, when he looked at Jiang Wei beside Li Cunxiao, he was suddenly at a loss for words.
Ma Chao had never met Jiang Wei.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei immediately laughed.
"I am Jiang Wei. My courtesy name is Beuyo. My teacher is Mr. Ma. Nice to meet you, General Ma."
Ma Chao immediately laughed when he heard this.
"Good, good, good. Since you're Mr. Ma's disciple, there must be something special about you."
"Jing Si, why are you here?"
"Is Mr. Ma in trouble?"
Li Cunxiao clasped his hands behind his back and said,
"Strictly speaking, it shouldn't be considered trouble, but we do need your help."
"We need to deal with the Qiang people."
Ma Chao was taken aback.
"What?"
"Mr. Ma told me not to attack the Qiang people first and to preserve our strength. Why is he here alone?"
"Does Mr. Ma want Xi Liang to send troops?"
"Don't worry, Xi Liang will listen to Mr. Ma's orders!"
Jiang Wei immediately waved his hand.
"General Meng Qi, that's not the case."
"Mr. Ma needs General Meng Qi, General Ling Ming, and Miss Yun Lu to come with us to investigate the situation of the Qiang people closest to Xi Liang."
"As for the details, we'll have to wait for Mr. Ma's letter."
Ma Chao was confused.
"Is Mr. Ma already prepared? He doesn't need Xi Liang to send troops? "
"How many men did Mr. Ma bring with him?"
"Logically speaking, Wei Emperor should have taken most of his forces with him on his southern expedition. Mr. Ma shouldn't have so many soldiers."
"The Qiang people have three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers!"
Jiang Wei smiled faintly.
"Mr. Ma only brought ten thousand men."
"However, General Meng Qi is wrong about one thing. The Qiang people still have two hundred and fifty thousand men."
Hearing this, Ma Chao was stunned.
Two hundred and fifty thousand men?
"What?!"
"You're saying that Mr. Ma used ten thousand soldiers to wipe out a hundred thousand Qiang people?
That's an entire commander-in-chief's tribe! "
Ma Chao's eyes widened.
After dealing with the Qiang people for so long, Ma Chao had a thorough understanding of them.
Although the Qiang people could not compare to the Xiongnu, they had more people and were more rational.
At the very least, the Qiang people knew a thing or two about war.
Logically speaking, the Qiang people were extremely difficult to deal with.
What method had Bai Feng used to wipe out a hundred thousand Qiang people with ten thousand soldiers?
Ma Chao simply couldn't figure out how he had done it.
"No matter what, if Mr. Ma needs our help, we will not refuse."
At this moment, Ma Yunlu appeared at Ma Chao's door, his expression grave.
"Big Brother, don't forget how savage the Qiang people are."
"Didn't you want to starve the Qiang people? This is the perfect opportunity! "
"It's fine if we don't send any troops. As long as we can wipe out the Qiang people, won't it be the same?"
Ma Chao chuckled.
"Okay, then call Ling Ming over. We'll set off immediately."
The arrival of Li Cunxiao and Jiang Wei made Ma Chao overjoyed.
Ma Yunlu had been bored out of his mind, and now, he finally had some 'fun' to play with.
After all, ever since Wei Emperor began his southern expedition, the border had been under strict orders. Without Bai Feng's orders, no one was to send troops to attack the foreign tribes.
This included Hanzhong, which was extremely close to the Di people.
"Thank you for your trouble, General Meng Qi."
Jiang Wei immediately bowed to Ma Chao.
"However, could General Meng Qi tell the two of us what you know about the Qiang people?"
Ma Chao chuckled.
"Of course."
"The Grand Marshal of Xiliang is called Yue Ji, and he is the son of the leader."
"This Yue Ji is vicious and cruel. He has repeatedly invaded Xiliang and killed many of our people."
"He has four marshals and a hundred thousand soldiers."
"Fifty thousand of them are infantry and fifty thousand cavalry."
