Chapter 703

Duan Yu laughed.

"Eunuch Zuo is right, but it's not as simple as malice."

"Since Eunuch Zuo is here, let's invite Eunuch Zuo to watch a play today."

"But I will have to trouble Eunuch Zuo to cooperate a little," Duan Yu said with a smile.

The young eunuch Zuo Feng immediately smiled: "That would be great. I have been bored to death in the palace; it's not easy to come out to handle official business. If there can be a good play, that is naturally the best."

Duan Yu nodded with a smile, then whispered a few words in front of Zuo Feng.

Upon hearing that, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up, and he nodded while laughing.

Handan Shang, the Magistrate of Yangzhai, who was standing to the side, was stunned when he saw this scene.

He had just followed Wang Yun and the others to welcome Zuo Feng outside the East Gate of Yangzhai.

At that time, Zuo Feng didn't give Wang Yun and the others any good looks at all.

That appearance was simply arrogant to the extreme.

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song were scolded severely in front of Zuo Feng.

How come when it came to Duan Yu, it seemed to be the other way around?

Just now outside the city, Wang Yun and the others were standing.

Zuo Feng was sitting.

Now it had changed to Zuo Feng standing and Duan Yu sitting.

Was this still the same arrogant Angel from just a moment ago?

After a short moment of being stunned, Handan Shang immediately realized a problem.

Wang Yun...

seemed to be in trouble.

However, Handan Shang was not prepared to remind Wang Yun of anything.

Duan Yu was a great mountain, and Wang Yun was also a great mountain.

As a small county magistrate, caught between two great mountains, the best choice was to do nothing, so as not to be crushed in the middle by the collision of the two mountains.

Outside the main hall of the County Government Office.

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song, leading Sun Jian, Fu Xie, and others, followed Zuo Feng's footsteps all the way to the County Government Office.

Outside the main hall of the County Government Office.

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Qu Yi, and all the generals were standing outside.

The two rows of personal guards under Duan Yu's command, clad in black armor, with swords at their waists and holding long spears in their hands, stood neatly in two rows, leaving only the aisle in the middle.

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song and the others frowned as they passed through the aisle in front of the main hall.

When they arrived at the door and were about to enter the hall, Sun Jian and Fu Xie, who were following Wang Yun, were directly stopped by Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu.

"What are you doing?"

Sun Jian glared at Wang Hunu and Tie Shitou.

Tie Shitou didn't even look at Sun Jian, but looked at Qu Yi, who was standing to the side, and asked: "Yigong, is he the one you were talking about?"

As the saying goes, enemies are especially jealous when they meet.

When Qu Yi saw Sun Jian and Zhu Jun, he couldn't help but clench his fists and grit his teeth.

Upon hearing Tie Shitou's words, Qu Yi nodded.

Tie Shitou immediately smiled, then turned to look at Sun Jian and said: "The Lord is in the hall; no idlers are allowed to enter without being announced."

Idlers?

Sun Jian was immediately enraged.

He, a dignified Sima of the Auxiliary Army, was actually called an idler?

"Presumptuous! You are just a small guard, and you dare to stop me?" Sun Jian said unceremoniously: "I am a Sima of the Auxiliary Army, with a rank comparable to one thousand shi..."

"Hmph." Tie Shitou sneered: "One thousand shi?"

"Is that very impressive?"

"Then I'm sorry, I am a Colonel of the Personal Guard under the General Who Breaks the Qiang, and I am also one thousand shi."

"The one standing here beside you is also a Colonel of the Personal Guard."

"You don't even ask, who among those standing here isn't one thousand shi?"

"A mere Sima of the Auxiliary Army, and you dare to show off?"

Tie Shitou was doing this on purpose to regain face for Qu Yi.

Zhu Jun was a General of the Household, and Tie Shitou couldn't say anything about that.

But Sun Jian was just a small Sima of the Auxiliary Army.

He really wasn't worth looking at.

A Sima was only established during wartime, while Tie Shitou, this Colonel, was a dignified Colonel with real power, holding the power to command troops.

To put it exaggeratedly, a General of the Household without a war was not as good as Tie Shitou, this Colonel of the Personal Guard who commanded troops.

Wang Hunu grinned, baring his teeth as he looked at Sun Jian, his eyes full of mockery.

As for Lu Bu, there was no need to mention him; he stood with his arms crossed, not even looking at Sun Jian directly.

"You..."

"You all..."

"What about us?" Tie Shitou raised his chin and said: "Is our Lord someone just anyone can see? Don't even look at what level you are."

"I advise you to stand outside the door honestly."

"If you dare to force your way in, I will admire you, but watch your head."

Saying this, Tie Shitou pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

The surrounding soldiers all looked at Sun Jian with murderous intent.

Sun Jian looked at Zhu Jun for help.

Zhu Jun frowned, his expression full of severity as he looked at Duan Yu.

Looking at Duan Yu, he sat in the hall as if he hadn't heard or seen anything, bowing his head and blowing the tea leaves in his bowl to the side.

"Gongwei." Wang Yun shook his head at Zhu Jun and lowered his voice: "If one cannot bear small things, one will mess up great plans. Let him be arrogant for a while."

Zhu Jun nodded, then looked at Sun Jian and shook his head.

Sun Jian, who was blocked at the door, clenched his fists in humiliation.

Tie Shitou raised his chin and sneered at Sun Jian.

And to the side, Qu Yi, seeing Sun Jian being humiliated, felt a sense of relief in his heart.

"Shitou..."

Tie Shitou turned back and smiled at Qu Yi: "Family doesn't talk about two families. Although I, Tie Shitou, haven't read many sage books, the Lord once taught me."

"A tree branch can be easily broken."

"But ten, one hundred, one thousand branches bundled together, no one can break them."

"We are all family, we are brothers."

"Whoever makes my family or brothers uncomfortable, I, Tie Shitou, will not let them have an easy time, even if I have to risk my life!"

Sun Jian clenched his fists tightly.

Qu Yi's eyes were filled with shimmering tears.

Gao Shun patted Qu Yi on the shoulder from the side.

Qu Yi nodded, deeply moved.

All along, Qu Yi had his own pride.

Coming from a Liangzhou scholar family, he was higher than Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Liu Baitou, and Gao Shun and the others.

But in terms of status in the army, he was not as good as Chen Qing'an, Tie Shitou, and the others.

Qu Yi believed he had ability and skill, and he always held a breath in his heart, wanting to prove himself.

Wanting to surpass Chen Qing'an and the others.

But at this moment, this psychology had completely vanished.

Tie Shitou's words "we are all family,"

and this scene of him venting his anger made Qu Yi feel that even if he weren't a general,

even if he didn't hold a high position, having such a group of brothers was also not bad. ===== CHAPTER 705 =====
