Zhang Miao tidied his clothes and composed himself before walking out with a faint smile.
Under the lead of the city gate captain, Liu Xu headed towards County Governor Manor.
Chen Gong had already left for Ji Yin County.
For the sake of Chen Gong's safety, he had divided his personal guards into three hundred men, while he had only brought two hundred personal guards to Chen Liu County.
Liu Xu sat on his horse and scanned his surroundings.
Because his Scarlet Horse was obviously a head taller than ordinary horses.
This made him feel like he was looking down on everyone.
The city gate captain raised his head and said respectfully,""Prefecture Overseer Liu, County Governor Manor is right in front.”
Liu Xu nodded lightly." You know that the Prefecture Overseer is here. Could it be that Governor Zhang has already set up an ambush?"”
" No, how could this be..." The city gate captain couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.
In front of them, a fat figure ran out of County Governor Manor.
The city guard hurriedly pointed and said,""Prefecture Overseer Liu, look, that's our Governor Zhang!”
"Yes." Liu Xu replied indifferently. Then, he waved his hand indifferently and said,"Go ahead."
The city gate captain was relieved. He bowed deeply to Liu Xu before running away.
Zhang Miao hurriedly came forward.
He cupped his hands and bowed to Liu Xu, smiling.""Prefecture Overseer Liu, I am Zhang Miao!”
Liu Xu sat on the red steed without moving.
He only replied indifferently,"Yes."”
Zhang Miao's heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, he felt a sense of oppression from Liu Xu.
He was surprised, but he was also someone who had been in battle for a long time.
He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and cupped his hands at Liu Xu. Prefecture Overseer Liu, please come in!"
Zhang Miao called out to Liu Xu and sat down in the County Governor's Manor.
Zhang Miao had already instructed the servants to bring all kinds of fruits and pastries.
"Congratulations to Prefecture Overseer Liu for being appointed as the Vigorous General and conferred the title of Marquis of Yongxiang!”
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Chief Zhang." Liu Xu smiled faintly. But those hundreds of people hiding behind you, are they all here to congratulate me?”
As he spoke, he looked up at the back of the house.
He had seen many such tricks on television before.
However, he did not expect that he would actually encounter it personally.
At the thought of this, a smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Miao's heart trembled.
He did not expect that his arrangement would be seen through the moment he came up.
This Liu Xu probably came with ill intentions!
He immediately shouted to the back,"What happened? Who's there?"
A series of sounds came from behind. Immediately, Zhang Chao walked out from behind.
He bowed to Zhang Miao and said," Eldest Brother, a personal guard has made a mistake. I'm punishing him from behind!"”
Zhang Miao glared at Zhang Chao." Prefecture Overseer Liu is here. Even if you want to punish your personal guards, you should find another place!"”
" But…" Zhang Chao wanted to say something.
Zhang Miao's face sank. He waved his hand impatiently and scolded,""Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Chao bowed to Zhang Miao.
Then, he bowed to Liu Xu and retreated.
Zhang Miao cupped his hands and bowed to Liu Xu. He smiled obsequiously and said,""Prefecture Overseer Liu, it's just a small misunderstanding.”
"I hope so." Liu Xu smiled and said noncommittally.
"Don't worry, Prefecture Overseer Liu. I'll definitely deal with that Zhang Chao in a while!”Zhang Miao patted his chest and said.
Then, he picked up the wine cup on the table and said,"Prefecture Overseer Liu, you've come a long way. Let me toast you first!”
Liu Xu's expression did not change. He waved his hand and said loudly,"There's no hurry to drink!
"Now that the Yellow Turban bandits are wreaking havoc in Qingzhou, I wonder if Governor Zhang, as the Governor of Chenliu County under my Yanzhou, has made preparations to meet the Yellow Turban bandits?”
Zhang Miao put down the wine cup in his hand and laughed awkwardly."Prefecture Overseer Liu, you must be joking. There are millions of Yellow Turban bandits now, and the old Prefecture Overseer is not their match.
With the military strength of my Chenliu County, how could they be a match?”
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly." Prefecture Overseer Liu is young and promising. He is also brave and brave. We still need Prefecture Overseer Liu to worry about the Qingzhou Yellow Turban bandits!"”
Zhang Miao's words and reaction were all within Liu Xu's expectations.
Seeing that the time was right, Liu Xu frowned and said,""Governor Zhang, how many people are you going to send to help me eliminate the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou?”
Zhang Miao was about to refuse when he saw Liu Xu's cold gaze sweep over.
His heart skipped a beat.
Only now did he remember that the 500 personal guards he had deployed had already withdrawn.
The few personal guards behind him were probably not Liu Xu's match.
Then, he thought of something and said with a smile,"Since Prefecture Overseer Liu has spoken, then no matter what, I have to send some people! Why don't I send 500 soldiers and horses…"
Before he could finish, Liu Xu frowned slightly.
His heart thumped wildly, and he immediately changed the topic."I will send 1,000, no, 1,500 soldiers to assist Prefecture Overseer Liu!”
"1,500 soldiers?" Liu Xu laughed coldly. To think that such a large county like Chenliu County could only mobilize 1,500 soldiers?”
Zhang Miao sighed." Prefecture Overseer Liu, you might not know this. Chenliu County originally had some soldiers. It was just that they lost quite a lot when they fought against the Yellow Turban bandits with the old Prefecture Overseer.
In addition, there are mountain bandits rampaging through our Chenliu County, so our military strength is truly tight!”
"I see." Liu Xu nodded and said," The bandits in Chenliu County are wreaking havoc. It's not easy for Governor Zhang either.”
As he spoke, he had already stood up.
He strolled to Zhang Miao's side and pressed on the Clear Sable Sword Dao.""Why don't I stay behind and help Governor Zhang clean up the bandits? What does Governor Zhang think?”
Zhang Miao's heart was beating wildly.
He knew that Liu Dai had beheaded Qiao Mao, who was the prefect of East County, because of a disagreement.
And now, this Liu Xu won't imitate his father and want to kill me, right?
"Don't be agitated, Prefecture Overseer Liu. Please don't be agitated…" He stood up and smiled awkwardly.
