Chapter 208 Fengdu Camp
  For a time, the atmosphere was heightened again, and the officials were all delighted.

Although these officials are greedy, one hundred taels of silver is still not a small amount for them, and the salary they receive in a year is only a few dozen taels of silver.

"Thank you sir!!"

Everyone shouted in unison and raised their glasses to drink Qiu Yi's toast.

On the other side, as soon as Ma Ji and Wang Chuanzhong walked out of the mansion, they heard the sounds of talking and laughing inside.

Wang Chuanzhong sighed quietly: "The world is so hot and cold, and people's hearts are not ancient!!"

Ma Ji glanced at him and said: "Why should Wang Dutong care about the words of these villains! Don't forget, you and I are Mr. Lin's people now! What's more, Qiu Yi doesn't have the final say in Yucheng now! Just feel at ease!!”

Wang Chuanzhong nodded and said: "General Manager Ma's words are reasonable, but the lower official is superficial!"

"Okay, you go back now and quickly lead a group of people to meet me at Fengdu Camp!"

Ma Ji said in a deep voice.

Wang Chuanzhong was shocked and said: "Going to Fengdu camp? Manager Ma, what happened?"

He knew that Fengdu Camp was the warehouse of the Yucheng Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the materials inside supplied Yucheng and all the villages and towns under its jurisdiction. It was an extremely sensitive place.

"Don't ask any more questions and get it done as soon as possible!! If you delay something important, Mr. Lin and Mr. Fu Yin will not forgive you!!"

Wang Chuanzhong bowed and said: "I understand, I understand!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly got on his horse and drove away.

And Ma Ji immediately mounted his horse and went straight to the Fengdu camp.

The Fengdu camp not only has materials and food from Yucheng, but also the 200,000 kilograms of food that Lin Yun just transported.

He wasn't worried about anything happening now. He came out by himself, and Zheng Li was watching over there.

But when he saw Qiu Yi's malicious look, he faintly realized that something was wrong.

It would be bad if Qiu Yi was thinking about these 200,000 kilograms of grain.

Although Zheng Li's side is well-defended and has bamboo guns, which can easily resist incoming powerful enemies, many ants can kill an elephant. Once Qiu Yi really has any plan, Zheng Li's team of elite soldiers can definitely resist it. Can't live.

The Fengdu camp is ten miles outside Yucheng and is heavily guarded on weekdays.

This is even more true now. When Ma Ji came on horseback, the soldiers responsible for guarding the camp immediately stepped forward to stop him.

He shouted angrily: "Stop whoever comes!! Fengdu camp is an important military base, no unauthorized entry is allowed!!"

As he said that, the two soldiers drew their swords and looked like they were going to kill someone.

Seeing this, Ma Ji felt relieved. After stopping his horse, he shouted: "Open your dog eyes to see clearly who I am!!"

The two soldiers took a closer look, immediately retracted their sabers, bowed and said, "I have seen General Manager Ma!! I wonder why General Manager Ma came here late at night?"

"Open the door!! I am here to do something on the order of Lord Fu Yin!"

The two soldiers looked at each other and said: "General Manager Ma, please don't embarrass me! The Fengdu Camp is now under the control of General Manager Qiu. Without his order, no one is allowed to enter at this time!"

"Hmph, you bastard!! Don't forget, Mr. Fu Yin still has the final say in Yucheng today. If you dare to stop me, watch your brains!! Get away!!"

Ma Ji didn't bother to say more to them. He understood that Qiu Yi must be the one causing the disturbance, which made him even more convinced that something big would happen tonight. After that, Ma Ji galloped on his horse and rushed directly towards the two soldiers.

The two were frightened, but they could only make way to let them pass.

Ma Ji successfully entered the Fengdu camp. When he arrived at the warehouse where Zheng Li was responsible for guarding the batch of grain, a group of soldiers armed with bamboo guns immediately poured out.

Ma Ji turned over and dismounted without any fear.

Zheng Li also walked out at this time. When he saw Ma Ji, he immediately smiled and said, "Manager Ma came here late at night. Could it be that he came to drink with me for company?"

"We will have plenty of opportunities to drink in the future. Commander Zheng, I have something important to discuss with you in detail!!"

After all, Zheng Li was Lin Yun's confidant, and his ability to deal with people had also improved greatly. When he saw Ma Ji's serious look, he realized that something was going on. He quickly turned sideways and made an invitation gesture and said: "Mr. Ma, please follow me." I come!!"

With that said, the two entered the room at the entrance of the warehouse.

As soon as Zheng Li closed the door and was about to make tea, Ma Ji immediately said: "I just came over at Qiu Yi's house. He may take action tonight. Commander Zheng needs to be prepared. This batch of food belongs to Mr. Lin." Our lifeblood, if something goes wrong, we will all be full and walk around!"

Zheng Li was so shocked that he dropped the teapot in his hand to the ground and said in surprise: "Manager Ma, are you kidding me? Does Qiu Yi have such courage? This is Fengdu Camp!!"

"Do you think I would make a joke like this?"

Looking at Ma Ji's solemn expression, Zheng Li smiled and said: "Manager Ma, don't be so nervous. There are thousands of guards in the Fengdu camp! The water that has been blocked here has long been blocked. Don’t even think about sneaking in even if you’re a mouse!”

"That's true, but these soldiers are now taking orders from Qiu Yi. Don't forget, he is now the military commander of Yucheng Mansion!"

Zheng Li finally panicked and gritted his teeth and said: "What a Qiu Yi, so bold! He even dares to dig into his father's wall!!"

He had long heard from Lin Yun that this food shipment was planned with Qiu Guangri.

It's just that Qiu Yi doesn't give Lin Yun face, he even wants to plot against Qiu Guangri.

"Don't worry about it for now! Does Commander Zheng have any good countermeasures?"

"Countermeasures? This is not my territory. Is there any good solution? If they dare to come and cause trouble, they will have no choice but to kill! I believe that with my young master's current ability, he should be able to deal with the aftermath!"

Ma Ji nodded solemnly and said, "How many people are you bringing this time?"

"Including me, there are eleven people in total. I have arranged them around the warehouse to guard them overnight just in case!"

"Okay, I have informed Wang Chuanzhong, and he will bring a team of people soon. Let's all be vigilant tonight, at least until dawn!"

Ma Ji had just drank some wine, but after being so shocked, he almost woke up.

"Okay, if I have Master Horse with me, I won't be lonely tonight! Please take a seat!!"

Ma Ji then sat on a chair nearby and took a breath.

But at this moment, the private soldiers guarding outside the warehouse suddenly shouted: "Who is it?"

One sentence made Ma Ji nervous again. Zheng Li rushed out of the door first and took out the bamboo gun immediately.

It was now pitch black all around, and even the lanterns that used to illuminate the road had been extinguished.

After all, Zheng Li had been leading the army for nearly a year. He could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the darkness, so he ordered a soldier next to him: "Go, check the lights over there!"
