"Boy, my lord asked me to get out when I was uncle and nephew. Do you still want to stay there when I wait?" Tietuo glared at Zhang Xiu and scolded.

Zhang Xiu's face turned red and angry when Tie Tuo said "boy". However, he had seen Tie Tuo's skills just now and knew that this man was very skilled in martial arts and had great strength.

Therefore, although Zhang Xiu was furious, he did not dare to take action without permission. If Li Li turned against him, he would probably die here today if his uncle and nephew, Hu Cheer and the three hundred personal soldiers outside were killed.

After a detailed investigation, there were at least 500 personal soldiers stationed in Li Li's mansion, as well as dozens of Wuwei generals.

In Chang'an City, in the case of a large number of personal soldiers entering the mansion like Li Li, in addition to Dong Zhuo's Grand Tutor's Mansion and Wenhou Lubu's Mansion, Longxiang Li Mansion is the third.

Other Xiliang generals in Chang'an City have many troops, but they can arrange at most more than a hundred personal soldiers to guard the mansions, gathering the troops in the manors or other courtyards outside the city, and generally not letting a large number of troops enter the mansions directly.

Of course, the guards, entourages and maids in the civil servants' courts such as the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers are not listed here.

After finding out about the situation in Li Li's mansion, Zhang Ji made preparations before coming to Li Li's mansion. If Li Li handed over Zou Jing happily, then there would be no trouble. If Li Li refused to hand over Zou Jing, Zhang Ji would plan to meet Li Li and forcefully ask for a beautiful concubine.

Because of this, Zhang Ji brought 300 personal soldiers during this trip to strengthen his momentum.

However, when he was really going to fight with Li Li, both Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were very unsure and were reluctant to act rashly.

After a small trial, the cold-faced tall and thin man behind Li Li raised his hand and knocked Zhang Xiu and Hu Cheer away. His strength was unparalleled and unfathomable!

In this way, Zhang Ji and his nephew felt a little afraid of being tempted by the mouse, and they were unwilling to endure the resentment in their hearts, and they did not dare to take action.

Maybe Zhang Ji was really scared and planned to leave Li Li's mansion in shame, but his nephew Zhang Xiu didn't think so.

A year ago, Zhang Xiu was successful in his studies and challenged various Green Forest masters in Beidi County, holding a five-meter-long spear. He was invincible in the whole county. People on the Green Forest Road called him the "King of Beidi Guns".

Since then, Zhang Xiu has traveled to most of Liangzhou, rarely encountering opponents, and is proud of his martial arts skills, which is enough to look down on the heroes of the world. However, when he went to the Anyi military camp, the title of "Northern Gun King" on his head was no longer very effective.

There are many brave men in the Western Liang army, including many of whom are of excellent martial arts. For example, the general Li Jue of Anyi has the reputation of "Northern Tiger", and the general Guo Si is also "Zhangye Canglang", and even Guo Si's nephew Zhang Meng is also brave and fierce, with extraordinary martial arts. In addition, Li Jue also has two generals, Li Meng and Wang Fang, who are also very skilled in martial arts.

At this point, Zhang Xiu's arrogant arrogance was much restrained, but he still thought that he was better than them. Even if he competed with Li Jue and Guo Si, Zhang Ji would not be defeated. Unfortunately, he first entered the military camp and had little experience and had no qualifications to compete with these generals.

In the Western Liang army, the name Zhang Xiu heard the most was Li Li, the prefect of Wuwei.

Li Li was almost a model for young soldiers in the entire Xiliang army. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an idol in his heart, but he is like a god in the hearts of young soldiers.

When Zhang Xiu first heard the name Li Li, he thought he would never be inferior to Li Li, who was several years younger than him. Within half a year, he could lead the army alone, and in a year he could achieve more dazzling results than Li Li.

However, when Li Li's outstanding achievements in Wuwei County were introduced into the army one by one, Zhang Xiu admired Li Li very much and sighed secretly. Because he was originally a native of Wuwei County, he had some understanding of the chaotic and complex situation in Wuwei County, and was once deeply powerless and could not reverse the war situation in Wuwei County. However, Li Li did it, and in a very short time, he recaptured Wuwei County with lightning speed. In a few days, he cleared the bandits and protected the country and the people.

Since then, Zhang Xiu has been very interested in everything that happened to Li Li and yearns for it.

However, this does not mean that Zhang Ji is not as good as Li Li, but that he does not have the strength Li Li had before. Otherwise, he could lead thousands of troops to clear the counties around Wuwei and achieve more prominent military achievements than Li Li. Then he was appointed as a general and a marquis and shine on his family.

This is the idea that Zhang Xiu has always buried in his heart, and he has never spoken to others. Even his uncle Zhang Ji didn't know that he had always compared himself with Li Li and wanted to surpass Li Li.

Today, a year is about to pass, and Zhang Xiu followed his uncle to meet the General of the Cavalry, Li Li and Li Wenchang, the prefect of Wuwei.

At first, Li Liqian and generous actions surprised Zhang Xiu, and even made him mistakenly believe that Li Li was a gentle scholar. However, Li Li was tall, handsome, and much stronger than a scholar, and that's all.

However, after Zhang Ji and Li Li in-depth negotiations, Zhang Xiu suddenly discovered that under Li Li's gentle and elegant expression, there was a cunning and unfathomable heart of a strong man. Although he spoke gently, he was soft and hard, and he spoke in a meaningful and powerful manner, which made people unable to refuse.

During the conversation, his uncle Zhang Ji clearly occupies the name of righteousness and travels all over the world, but Li Li refutes it to be useless, but instead becomes a uncle who is indecent and cannot enter the elegant hall.

It's really outrageous!

At that time, Zhang Xiu wanted to rush forward and beat Li Li. Unexpectedly, Li Li's woman walked into the lobby and beat his uncle Zhang Ji to the ground for teeth. So that he and Hu Cheer were about to take action, but were knocked away by the guards behind Li Li using a unique weapon.

Although this person who uses chains was suspected of sneak attacking when he took action, Zhang Xiu knew that this person was extremely skilled in martial arts and was far from being the opponent of this person. Even if he and Hu Cheer were on the same side, he might not be the enemy of this person. He would even be defeated by others with a few chains just like before.

Until this time, Zhang Xiu suddenly realized that he was too far from Li Li and was not comparable at all. Li Li had already surpassed his uncle Zhang Ji's strength, and was even inferior to General Li Jue's strength. Zhang Xiu was still complacent about obtaining the position of a small military marquis.

Compared with the two, if Li Li is a vast ocean, Zhang Xiu is just a drop in the ocean!

In just one year, Li Li has grown into a big tree in the sky. And he, Zhang Xiu, is still just an optional grass.

The gap is too big!

???????????????????????????

"Boy, I have been holding you back for a long time. Take your uncle and get out immediately, otherwise I will blow you out!"

Just as Zhang Xiu was in a mess and was constantly moving, Tietuo was already impatient and shouted angrily.

"Stop it! Reckless man. Don't be arrogant. My name is Zhang Xiu. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Look at the sword!"

Suddenly, someone interrupted his thoughts, Zhang Xiu was furious, shouted angrily, pulled out his sword, stepped forward and stabbed Tietuo.

"Hey? I didn't expect that your uncle is a pussy. You little bastard have some backbone! I'm waiting for you, it's just right!"

Seeing Zhang Xiu pulling his sword and stabbing him, Tietuo couldn't help but show a slight smile of conspiracy. With a loud laugh, he pulled out the long sword from his waist and came forward to him.

“Bo, Bow, Bow!”

In an instant, the long sword attacked the sword with a loud bang, causing a sharp and sharp sound. As Mars flew everywhere, Zhang Xiu and Tie Tuo fought hard to cut. The sword was just a fighting weapon carrying their own huge power. There was no sword technique at all. There was no need for exquisite sword techniques.

The two of them are agile, dodging, moving quickly and skillfully. When the long swords collided, the force used by both sides was very strong, and they wished they could kill each other with one sword.

In fact, Tietuo is good at a weapon with a long-handled sword, with pure sword skills, rich fighting experience, great power and ruthlessness. Zhang Xiu has the name of "King of Guns in the North", which goes without saying. The weapon he is good at is a spear, not a sword, and has a skillful gun technique. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the title of "King of Guns".

However, now they are in the lobby of Longxiang Li Mansion, and naturally they cannot bring weapons into the lobby. Therefore, they can only fight with the long sword in their hands.

After a while, Tietuo and Zhang Xiu were evenly matched. The strength and body skills of both sides were almost the same. The texture of the sword in their hands was also the same. The blade of the sword swung curled, and the entire sword was deformed.

"General Xiaoqi, Prefect Li, Zhang knew that he was wrong! Let them stop quickly, Zhang is willing to admit his mistake to the prefect!"

Seeing that his nephew Zhang Xiu and the generals under Li Li fought together, Zhang Ji was extremely anxious, worried about gains and losses, and nervous. After seeing that Zhang Xiu had no advantage after fighting hard for more than ten rounds, he immediately admitted his mistake to Li Li, for fear that Zhang Xiu would make mistakes and encounter unexpected problems.

Zhang Ji has been in the army for more than ten years. It is true that he values ​​face very much, but he knows better how to judge the situation. He bows his head when it is time to bow his head. He will never show off his strength and win. His own safety will always be the first. Without these two tricks, Zhang Ji's martial arts skills and average strategies. How can he reach this position today, and how can he form a friendship with many Xiliang generals!

Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths.

Zhang Ji could hold a firm position in the arrogant and domineering Xiliang Army, and was definitely not a mediocre person. He was very good at being a human being and never stingy with flattery. He was happy to see him. He was a famous good man in the army, laughing at everyone, and no one offended him; he was good at observing words and expressions, knowing the current affairs, knowing advance and retreating, and following whoever is strong.

Over the past decade, the powerful generals in the army have been replaced one after another, but Zhang Ji has always been seeking progress while steadily, and gradually has his own battalion of troops and a large number of troops. Now he is firmly ranked among the top ten powerful generals under Dong Zhuo.

Today he lost all his face in Li Li's mansion, and he was so shameless that he was just laughing.

For this reason, Zhang Ji resented Li Li in his heart, and gritted his teeth in his hatred, hoping to kill Li Li with one knife. But he knew clearly that he was not Li Li's opponent and he did not have the strength to compete with Li Li, so he would never force himself. He would admit his mistakes if he should admit his mistakes. When he bowed his head, he bowed his head without hesitation. He did not think that there was anything wrong with admitting his mistakes to Li Li, and he would not underestimate Li Li just because Li Li was young. He never looked at people by age, otherwise wouldn't Lu Bu become a thorn in his side.

Today, Zhang Ji still refused to admit his mistake to Li Li. Perhaps many people will look down on him because of this, but he doesn't care. As long as he can save his life and current status.

No one knows why Zhang Ji is so cowardly?

In fact, only Zhang Ji himself knew that this was not cowardice, but the way to survive in troubled times. He was not bowing to Li Li, but to a strong man stronger than him. Only in this way can he continue to survive, preserve the existing strength in his hands, and gradually strengthen his strength.

Once upon a time, he bowed his head to others just like he bowed his head to Li Li today. More than ten years later, those people died one after another, but Zhang Ji still lived well.

In order to survive, bow to the strong in time. This is Zhang Ji's way of survival and dealing with the world. (To be continued)
