Murong Xue had already learned about all the things that had happened on the side of the Vermilion Bird Legion.

Gong Chengze pretended to be a public servant and deliberately made trouble, which seriously affected the preparation and training of all front-line troops. To make matters worse, the Southern Expedition Military Affairs Inspector was not a temporary position, but a long-standing official that could only be canceled when the war against the rebels ended.

To put it bluntly, Li Bing was not at ease, so he arranged for people to run to keep an eye on the army.

When leaving the Suzaku Legion, Gong Chengze also left a group of subordinates to continue to supervise military affairs in the name of the inspection and investigation envoy, so as to block Ma Hongjie. This kind of practice is completely unacceptable to Murong Xue. Therefore, he decided not to learn from Ma Hongjie.

Hiding from each other will only make Gong Chengze more arrogant and do whatever he wants.

When Gong Chengze arrived in Huangmei County, Murong Xue only carried out a simple ceremony to welcome the Qin Cha in accordance with the rules of the imperial court, and then did not hold a banquet, and directly hung the inspection envoy and attaché in the post house, and he took the generals and colonels of the army to drink and eat.

Seeing this, Gong Chengze couldn't help but be furious: I am here on behalf of the emperor, you snub Qincha, which is equivalent to not taking Your Majesty in your eyes, Murong Xue, you wait!

Gong Chengze, who received a cold reception, came to the command post of the Blue Dragon Army early the next day, ready to pick his nose and eyes, just like when he was in the Vermilion Bird Army, and toss the Green Dragon Army well.

Unexpectedly, Murong Xue was also prepared. He sent all his subordinates out, leaving him alone here to wait for the inspector's command.

"What about people? Where have they gone? Gong Chengze faced the empty handsome tent with a confused face.

Murong Xue replied lightly: "The rebels on the other side of the river have been abnormally mobilized recently, and I am worried that they have some conspiracy, so I put the whole army on alert." ”

This reason is high-sounding, and even if the emperor is there in person, he can't find fault with it.

Gong Chengze was very unhappy in his heart, and said angrily: "This official is ordered to inspect and transfer military affairs, and you sent all the people out, who should I ask for questioning?" ”

"Find me." Murong Xue pointed at herself.

"Looking for you?" Gong Chengze was stunned: "All things, looking for you alone?" ”

Murong Xue nodded: "I am the commander of the legion, and I have to report to me for approval in the end, such as battle training, baggage supply, camp construction, and military style and discipline." If you don't look for me, who should you look for? ”

Hearing this, Gong Chengze didn't say anything for a long time.

Okay, Murong Xue, you really can. Ma Hongjie didn't want to bow his head in front of me, so he pushed everything to his subordinates. You want to fight me in the ring, don't you? Then hit!

Gong Chengze took his heart sideways, and ordered the attaché to go to read the files first, inspect the barracks, and collect the problems of the Qinglong Army, while he stared at Murong Xue on the side of the handsome tent, and waited for his subordinates to get the handle, and then dealt with the other party.

The two of them didn't say a word, they just sat face to face.

After waiting for a morning, Gong Chengze finally couldn't help but speak: "I said Murong Xue, don't you even plan to prepare tea for this official?" My throat was smoking. ”

"This is a barracks, not those conditions." Murong Xue pointed outside: "There is a well when you go out and turn left, and when you are thirsty, you will go by yourself." ”

Gong Chengze frowned: "Do you know that neglecting Qincha is a big crime." ”

Murong Xue suddenly smiled: "Did you snub you?" Lord Gong, I'm a dignified governor of the central capital, and I don't care about the entire legion, and Baba has been with you all morning, and I don't even dare to go to the latrine, and I don't pay enough attention to it? ”

"You ......" Gong Chengze suddenly became angry, "It's true that you are here, but what is the difference between not being here?" Tea also does not speak, words do not speak when I do not exist? ”

Murong Xue shook her head: "Oh, it turns out that you want me to speak, it's so simple." Inspector Adult, how are you doing lately? ”

Gong Chengze couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and before he could react, he only heard Murong Xue continue: "The weather is good today, the sun is shining...... Oh, it's cloudy outside, I'm afraid it's going to snow again. ”

With a bang, Gong Chengze slapped the table and said angrily: "Murong Xue, you are doing it on purpose, what are you talking about with me?" ”

Murong Xue shrugged: "Look at you." If you don't speak, you think I'm sluggish, but when you speak, you slap the table and stare at you, it's really hard to serve. ”

Gong Chengze was annoyed and angry by the other party, and was about to get angry, when his subordinates walked into the tent quickly at this time and sent the first batch of problems found.

Seeing that there was something to focus on, Gong Chengze temporarily suppressed his emotions, sneered and took the scroll to take a closer look, and then picked a few faults from it and challenged Murong Xue.

Murong Xue didn't seem to be in a hurry, and answered Gong Chengze's questions one by one. Whether it is the argument or the tone and expression, there is a meaning everywhere: the fault you pick is too superficial and not worth refuting at all.

Such a state further stimulated Gong Chengze, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

As more and more questions were presented by his subordinates, Gong Chengze also began to press step by step, and no longer accepted Murong Xue's explanation, but refuted them one by one. The two of them went back and forth, and their words became more and more intense, and finally developed from sneering at each other to the point of scolding each other.

The commander of the legion and the inspector quarreled so much that no one on either side dared to persuade him, so he could only watch the excitement.

In the end, Gong Chengze had no choice but to threaten to go to Emperor Shu and sue Murong Xue and the Blue Dragon Legion. Murong Xue hugged her shoulders and sneered: It doesn't matter, you can do whatever you like. Speaking of complaints, I'm going to sue you again.

So, the two of them temporarily stopped fighting, and each went back to write a memo, and reprimanded the other party's sins to the emperor Li Bing.

Gong Chengze accused Murong Xue of having no imperial court, refusing to cooperate with the Qin Cha, and deliberately resisting the inspection and dispatch of military affairs. Murong Xue said that Gong Chengze abused his power to supervise the army, and in the name of inspection and investigation, he caused trouble for the army and affected the war of the army.

The two pieces were sent to the imperial capital and placed in front of Li Bing, which immediately made the emperor feel quite embarrassed.

Gong Chengze was his own representative, and he was ordered to go to investigate the situation of the various regiments and secretly monitor the movements of the military. But Murong Xue is also his own cronies and generals, and no one can match him in terms of merit or relationship.

The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, so how can he choose?

After thinking about it again, Li Bing decided to play fifty boards on the left and right, reprimanded Murong Xue lightly, and at the same time ordered Gong Chengze to leave the Blue Dragon Legion temporarily and inspect other places first.

With such an arrangement, Murong Xue and Gong Chengze were not very satisfied, but they were helpless. Murong Xue bowed her head to Gong Chengze and admitted her mistake, and Gong Chengze slapped his ass and left after the order.

Leaving the Blue Dragon Legion, Gong Chengze held back the fire in his belly, ready to find the next family to spread his anger. But the accompanying master reminded him that the situation of the next family might be even more troublesome.

To the east, it is the Zhenjiang Army.

Gong Chengze suddenly came to his senses. He's just stupid, but he's not stupid, no matter how arrogant he is, he knows who he can mess with and who can't.

He originally considered whether to bypass Li Jiangyao's defense area and go directly to inspect Chang Tao's Xuanwu Legion. But the imperial court has requirements, and Wei Zixuan also has instructions, and the inspection envoy must go to the Phoenix Legion to pick thorns.

In order not to make himself unhappy, Gong Chengze changed his previous style of being in power, strictly ordered his subordinates to keep a low profile, entered the Zhenjiang military defense area without stopping, and went to Luzhou quietly.

He, like Tian Mu, came out to be an official only for glory and wealth. Therefore, he can be an enemy of Murong Xue, and he can deliberately bully Ma Hongjie, Chang Tao, and Dong Tianxing, but he must not provoke Li Jiangyao and Xu Youchang.

That's going to kill you. Life is gone, what glory and wealth are there to talk about?

The people of the Zhenjiang Army were a little surprised by the arrival of the military affairs inspection envoys of the Southern Expedition. The reason is very simple, the Qincha team they saw was not as arrogant and arrogant as the previous rumors said.

On the contrary, even the Qin mission and his entourage were all modest and respectful, amiable, and particularly polite.

"These guys aren't going to be secretly holding back anything bad, are they?" Xu Youchang whispered in Li Jiangyao's ear.

Li Jiangyao smiled faintly and said to Gong Chengze: "My lord, the inspection and investigation envoy, I have worked hard all the way. If you need us to cooperate, please feel free to ask. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Gong Chengze hurriedly politely said: "Most of the guards command the battle, and the soldiers work hard to kill the enemy, you are really hard." The lower officials came by order, and where they were disturbed, they also asked all of you to do a lot of Haihan, and don't be surprised. ”

If Ma Hongjie and Murong Xue saw him like this now, they would probably be directly angry.

Li Jiangyao knew very well in his heart that whether it was Tian Mu or Gong Chengze, they were all people who tended to be inflammatory, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. They don't have any big skills, let alone big plans, they just rely on the emperor's support behind their backs and fight for power.

Ma Hongjie didn't have too strong a foundation in Li Bing and didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he adopted a strategy of avoiding it; And Murong Xue had a good relationship with Li Bing, so she was unwilling to swallow her anger and chose to fight against the other party.

These actions were all expected by Gong Chengze, and they were also within the scope of his bearing.

However, the situation of the Zhenjiang Army was very different.

Li Jiangyao never relied on the imperial court, nor did he rely on the emperor, he could do whatever he wanted, even if he rebelled, it was just a matter of thought.

Gong Chengze and him are not in the framework of the same game rules at all, you say, how should this Lord Qincha play?

Risking your own life to play?

For this situation, both sides see through it and do not say it. Since Gong Chengze is so well-behaved and knowledgeable, Li Jiangyao does not plan to be like him. On the scene, the Zhenjiang Army gave enough face to the inspection and investigation, from the chief protector and deputy capital protector to the chief generals of the following armies, all attended the reception, and the atmosphere was not at all as tense as the Vermilion Bird Legion and the Blue Dragon Legion.

Gong Chengze was also willing to maintain a peaceful atmosphere, and only let his subordinates wander around a few camps slightly, and in front of Li Jiangyao and Xu Youchang, he made an evaluation of the Phoenix Regiment's "thorough combat preparation, high morale, and strict military discipline, which can be called an example for all regiments."
