Mark can vaguely feel Liu Bei's thoughts, but it is not real, Liu Bei is scheming, Mark only feels that his purpose in coming to Anping is not simple.

"Lord Liu is here, I don't know what the purpose is?" Mark suddenly asked, he had no intention of inviting Liu Bei and others into the city at all.

Liu Bei's face was as usual, but there was a trace of waves in the depths of his eyes.

"Master Ma, I came to Anping this time to collect grain on the orders of General Gongsun." Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "General Gongsun is very happy to hear that Master Ma can conjure food out of thin air. Master Ma also knows that the people of Youzhou are poor and poor, and there are many people who are hungry. General Gongsun hopes that Master Ma can hand over 200,000 stone of grain for the people of Youzhou......"

"I refuse!" Liu Bei was persuading Mark, but was rudely interrupted by Mark.

Liu Bei looked at Mark with a frozen expression.

Mark said: "Lord Liu, please go back and tell General Gongsun, first of all, there is not so much food in Xia. The food in this Anping City is given by the supreme god, and the food given by the god is not unlimited, but a reward for the people of Anping. Second, it is the Anping County Order, not the history of Youzhou Thorn, which is a major matter for the people of Youzhou, and it is not my turn, right? Third, when I agreed with General Gongsun to rebuild Anping within half a year, General Gongsun did not support me with a single person or grain, but only gave me an official seal. Now that the appointed time is just over halfway, General Gongsun has asked me for food, and I can't say where to put this matter, right? ”

Liu Bei nodded subconsciously, indeed, according to what Mark said, it is unreasonable for Gongsun Zhan to ask him for grain. However, how can this kind of thing be reasonable?

"Master Ma, since you are a subordinate of General Gongsun, there is an order from the Lord, you can't disobey the order, right?" Liu Bei said.

"Hehe, my Anping County Commander is indeed appointed by General Gongsun, but if you want to talk about my boss, it should also be Liu Yu Liu Thorn History. As for General Gongsun, he probably did not collect grain for the people of Youzhou, but to expand the army. Mark sneered, "In the next place, as the county commander of Anping, the responsibility is to ensure the peace of the party, and other things are left to those big people to worry about." ”

"General Gongsun's order has been given, isn't Master Ma afraid of angering General Gongsun if he does this?" Liu Bei looked at Mark and said slowly.

"For Zaixia, General Gongsun's anger is far better than the displacement of tens of thousands of people in Anping." Mark said lightly.

That being the case, I understand. Master Ma, prepare to go back to Youbeiping to resume your life. Before leaving, there was a message to remind Master Ma that General Gongsun was very dissatisfied with the Divine Sect established by Lord Ma, and that the grain requisition was unsuccessful this time, and the outcome was unpredictable, so he asked Lord Ma to be prepared. After Liu Bei finished speaking, he left with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and his five hundred soldiers, not dragging his feet at all.

"Lord, this ......" Zhao Rui felt that it was very inappropriate, no matter what the other party said, he was also Gongsun Zhan's messenger, so he might be angry if he drove Gongsun Chan away directly.

Mark didn't seem to hear Zhao Rui's words, he looked at Liu Bei and the others who were gradually disappearing, and pondered.

"Liu Bei went back this time, and the next time Gongsun Zhan came in person. Calculating the time, the princes' discussion of Dong will happen at the end of the year. When the time comes, Gongsun Chan should not have the energy to go north. After the discussion of Dong, Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, and Gongsun Zhan was busy competing with Yuan Shao for hegemony. Hmph, even if Gongsun Chan is dissatisfied with me, how much strength can he have? ”

When Mark first looked for Gongsun Zhan, he had already calculated this, so he had the courage to expose the source of the food.

"Gongsun Zhan, you want to calculate my ......" Mark sneered disdainfully.

"Big brother, this Anping County Order seems to be good." Zhang Fei said as he rode his black horse.

"Oh, what do you think he's good about?" Liu Bei turned around and asked.

Zhang Fei said: "At least he is loyal, and he has a lot of backbone." ”

"Yun Chang, what do you think?" Liu Bei smiled and asked Guan Yu again.

Guan Yu's eyes narrowed, and his expression revealed his innate arrogance.

"This man has a lot on his mind." Guan Yu said, "He has a special power, which is different from ordinary Taoist priests, and it is also different from Confucian scholars and strategists, which is very peculiar. ”

"You can't even feel Yun Chang?" Liu Bei was surprised, he knew that his second brother was not only superb in martial arts, but also terrifying in perception, and the power that even he couldn't perceive was indeed mysterious enough.

"I think this power should have something to do with what he said about the Supreme God Cult, as well as the source of those foods!" Guan Yu said.

Liu Bei nodded: "Maybe, but this county order is indeed very mysterious." We came on behalf of General Gongsun, but he didn't even let us in at the city gate. Moreover, he was very tough when he refused General Gongsun's request, and I felt that this person should have some hole cards. ”

"Big brother, do you want to take Mark under your command?" Guan Yu asked.

Liu Bei said calmly: "Yes, no matter that Supreme God Sect and Supreme God Venerable, just saying that Mark can make so much food and rebuild a city in such a short time, this ability is worth my recruitment." It's a pity that you and my brother are now under the fence, and they don't even have their own territory, so how can they solicit others? ”

"Big brother, since you have a crush on him, I'll tie him up now!" Zhang Fei said loudly, "If he doesn't agree, I'll call him until he agrees!" ”

"Nonsense!" Liu Bei scolded, "If things in this world are really so easy, it would be good." Yide, when will your temper change......"

Seeing off Liu Bei and his party, Mark returned to the temple. Nowadays, he rarely goes to the county office.

"The power of faith is truly amazing."

Mark approached his idol and suddenly felt a mysterious aura enveloping him, and in this aura, his spiritual power slowly increased, and the effect was more than ten times higher than his own meditation! However, this aura is a bit weak, if it can be thicker, Mark's spiritual power will increase even faster!

"No, I have to find a way to increase the devotion of the people's faith!"

Liu Bei's arrival was a reminder to Mark that after the establishment of the Supreme God Cult, Mark would encounter various challenges, and Gongsun Chan was just one of them.

"Shijie, you just said that Guan You'an came to me?" Mark called Zhao Rui over and asked, "You invite him to the temple immediately!" ”

Mark doesn't have Liu Bei's style of being a corporal, he wants to use people, the first point is to be loyal and obedient to himself, like Zhuge Liang, a reserved person, even if he has talent, Mark will not use it.

Fortunately, Guan Ning is not Zhuge Liang, as soon as Zhao Rui invites him, he will come immediately.

"Zhao Rui, you go out first, I have something to talk about with Mr. You'an."

Zhao Rui left to deal with the affairs of the county, and it was not until the next morning that he saw Mark and Guan Ning coming out of the temple.

"Could it be that the lord and Mr. You'an talked all night?" Zhao Rui was curious, and at the same time, he was also a little happy in his heart, since he assisted Mark, he often felt powerless, because there were too many things. If Guan Ning can join Mark, it will be much easier for him.

To Zhao Rui's surprise, Mark did not let Guan Ning serve as an official in Anping County, but let him serve as a sacrifice of the Supreme God Sect!
