Chapter 662: Chapter 196: It Turns Out to Be a Trap!_3
As he spoke, he handed the other person a storage bag.
The quartermaster took the storage bag and scanned its contents with his divine sense, immediately revealing a smile.
“Good!” The quartermaster waved his hand. “Lord Shuangjing is right. For the sake of our army, for our Monarch’s grand endeavor, we subordinates must all do our duty and serve wholeheartedly. This kind of bad practice must be eradicated in its embryonic stage; that’s the best way.”
Shuangjing was greatly pleased, not surprised at all.
Given his status, it wasn’t difficult to move the quartermaster to trouble a mixed-blood demon, a loose cultivator who had just stepped onto the official stage of Liangzhu Country.
Immediately, Shuangjing stood up: “No time is better than the present. Why don’t I ask the lord to set off at once and severely punish the Three Generals Camp!”
Quartermaster: “Well said. Although Liu Guanzhang has meritorious service, they lack refinement and training. This time, let me teach them well what it means to be an official.”
Shuangjing added: “The key figure in this matter is the strategist of the Three Generals Camp, called Ning Zhuo. It was he who designed and built the mechanism.”
The quartermaster asked who this person was.
Shuangjing answered, making the quartermaster feel assured: “Just a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and moreover from Southern Bean Country. Haha.”
“Let’s go!”
“Let’s set off now. Lord Shuangjing, please accompany us to witness.”
Shuangjing hesitated: “This…”
The quartermaster grabbed his arm forcefully and said: “Together, together!”
Shuangjing had no choice but to comply.
The quartermaster gathered a team and arrived at the Three Generals Camp, imposing and formidable, only to be stopped at the gate.
Du Tiechuan governed the army strictly, and the consequences of breaking military discipline were severe. The quartermaster didn’t dare to force his way in and called for the camp’s soldiers to report quickly.
Liu Guanzhang, the three generals, were training troops. Upon hearing the commotion, they immediately settled the soldiers and headed to the camp gate.
The quartermaster was a Nascent Soul Level cultivator. Seeing the three generals approach, he waved his hand arrogantly from horseback: “Why don’t I see your strategist? Have him come to see me quickly.”
Liu Er cupped his hands immediately: “The strategist is not in the camp, he is currently surveying the battlefield outside.”
The quartermaster immediately turned his head to look at Shuangjing.
Shuangjing cursed “old fox” silently and had to snort, stepping forward: “Stop speaking nonsense, I am sure Ning Zhuo is in the camp. This matter is important, summon him quickly to face punishment.”
Liu Er was quite surprised, immediately stating that they had been diligent and fought bravely, never slackening in cleaning up the battlefield; their achievements were obvious. What exactly had they done wrong to deserve punishment?
The quartermaster bluntly declared: You secretly controlled powerful weapons, efficiently cleaning the battlefield, contributing greatly, and should have presented them but put the army and nation behind personal gain.
He further questioned: Are you still generals of Liangzhu Country?
Not waiting for the three generals to retort, the quartermaster waved his hand: “Men, enter the camp and bring that little strategist to me. He is too bold to dare to not come see me! Even if he is a foreigner, since he joined our army, he must be disciplined.”
With the quartermaster’s order, two Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately charged into the camp.
Zhang Hei glared: “Do you dare?!”
The next moment, he acted directly, punching twice, knocking down the two Foundation Establishment soldiers, who screamed miserably.
This shock left Shuangjing astonished.
The quartermaster was furious, pointing at Zhang Hei: “You black coal thief, how dare you be so rampant in front of me! Bind your hands yourself; if I have to act personally, your punishment will be doubled.”
“Pah!” Zhang Hei spat in the quartermaster’s direction.
Shuangjing took a deep breath, not expecting Zhang Hei to be so reckless.
“Oh dear.” Liu Er was greatly shocked, opening his mouth to smooth the situation.
But the quartermaster, furious, gave Liu Er no chance to mediate, pushing his palm directly.
A palm print appeared out of thin air, shooting straight at Zhang Hei.
Liu Er moved horizontally, blocking with his body.
Bang.
The next moment, he was struck by the palm print, spitting blood, flying back a long distance, and falling heavily to the ground.
The quartermaster was shocked, feeling instantly uneasy.
Then, a sharp and piercing voice reached him: “Well, such great official power.”
The quartermaster turned back quickly, his heart pounding, and smiled hastily: “Lord Zhao, you’re here!”
The newcomer was the supervisor, Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi was straightforward, waving his arm directly.
Slap.
The quartermaster, though a Nascent Soul, did not dare to block it, enduring the slap.
He fell from his horse, staggering, almost tumbling.
His cheek quickly swelled up, the previous anger and arrogance completely gone, replaced by fear and awe.
“Lord, Lord Zhao, please listen to my explanation.”
Slap!
Another slap landed.
Both of the quartermaster’s cheeks swelled symmetrically.
Supervisor Zhao Xi pointed at the quartermaster: “Luckily, I came here to supervise, otherwise I wouldn’t have discovered such a person who indulged in personal gain and usurped public interest!”
“Silence, there’s no place for you to speak here.”
“If you dare to speak, the punishment will be heavier!”
The quartermaster was anxious, turned sharply to look at Shuangjing.
Zhao Xi narrowed his eyes, also looking at Shuangjing.
Shuangjing’s face turned pale, unable to hide his panic; he hurriedly dismounted and bowed in greeting.
The quartermaster glared, staring at Shuangjing with eyes full of anger and hatred.
Zhao Xi narrowed his eyes coldly, snorted, and waved his sleeve, signaling Shuangjing to leave.
Shuangjing took a deep breath and walked away quickly, leaving the place of trouble.
After he had walked far away, he turned back to look in the direction of the Three Generals Camp, grinding his teeth: “Well, well, Three Generals Camp, well, Ning Zhuo, you were waiting for me here!”
He fully understood.
This time, he wanted to scheme against Ning Zhuo, but Ning Zhuo had already prepared, aligning with Supervisor Zhao Xi.
Ning Zhuo had set up a trap and Shuangjing, along with the quartermaster, had walked right into it!
