Border Cook

Chapter 277 Looking for trouble
"The shopkeeper said Commander Lu is good?" Wu Xiong came over and nodded. "He is already a commander at such a young age. It is indeed good. His future is limitless."

"Not only that." Shopkeeper Ge said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Wu Xiong scratched his ear and said with a serious expression after a moment, "Could it be that the shopkeeper is saying that Commander Lu is very good-looking and handsome?"

Shopkeeper Ge: "..."

What and what!
What he wanted to say was that Lu Qiyan was not only successful in his career, but also loved his wife very much. Such a man must be a loyal and principled person, and worthy of close friendship!

Why did it come to this matter of appearance?
But speaking of appearance, Wu Xiong seemed to be very concerned about his appearance these days. He even took a small bronze mirror to look at himself twice.

Fortunately, no outsiders saw this incident, otherwise, I really don’t know how others would view Wu Xiong and his Sifang Casino.

"Wu Xiong," said the shopkeeper Ge earnestly, "For a man born in this world, a pair of strong fists is far more useful than things like appearance. Appearance is the most useless thing."

"Boss, I think what you said is wrong. If you are extremely ugly, no matter how strong your fists are, you will probably be called a ghost."

Wu Xiong has a completely different view. "It's like if a shopkeeper goes to buy some fruits, wouldn't he first pick the ones that look good?"

Shopkeeper Ge: "..."

It seems impossible to refute this.

It turns out that people in love are the most unreasonable, so it’s better not to argue!

After bidding farewell to Shopkeeper Ge, Lu Qiyan first went to the carriage shop to take out the horse he had deposited. After getting on the horse, he headed straight to the Zhangjiazhuang that Shopkeeper Ge had mentioned.

Riding at full speed, Lu Qiyan arrived at Zhangjiazhuang, Zhang Chunwang's home, more than an hour later.

At this time, Zhang Chunwang and his father were both at home. When they saw someone visiting them, who was handsome and had a good temperament, and the horse he was riding did not look like an ordinary animal, they immediately became very excited.

"I don't know if you are ..."

Before Zhang's father could finish, Lu Qiyan interrupted him and said, "Commander of the Border Garrison Camp, Lu Qiyan."

Lu Qiyan?

Zhang's father and son had previously inquired about the details of Guoyuan and Xia Mingyue and knew the name of her husband.

However, just a few days after the orchard incident, Lu Qiyan found his home...

This Xia family is really eager to file a lawsuit.

Lu Qiyan came forward really quickly.

It's a pity that you are just a battalion commander in a military camp. You may be able to show off your power in the army, but no one will pamper you outside.

Father Zhang narrowed his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and said with arrogance, "My family has never interacted with people in the army..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Qiyan had already drawn his sword and slashed at the vicious dog in the yard that was barking at him madly.

The big dog, which was still barking and ready to pounce on Lu Qiyan at any time, suddenly fell to the ground, struggling for a few seconds before dying. Blood soon flowed all over the ground, a bright red color that was shocking.

"What a barking dog!" Lu Qiyan yelled at the dog, then looked at the Zhang family father and son, slowly wiping the blood off the knife, "What did you say just now?"

Things happened so fast that Zhang and his son were caught off guard and were frightened.

People from the military camp don't have much real power outside, but they are extremely fierce and ruthless, without any mercy, and do not know how to adapt!
Lu Qiyan was looking very aggressive at this moment, and it was obvious that he was here to cause trouble. This trouble seemed to be quite big.

Zhang Chunwang was still young and looked fierce on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. He was frightened at this moment and quickly shrank his neck and hid behind Zhang's father.

Father Zhang was much calmer and quickly changed his attitude to a courteous one, "It turns out to be Commander Lu. I have heard a lot about you."

"Quick, please take a seat, and quickly pour tea for Commander Lu. Pour good tea!"

Lu Qiyan sat down and asked in a deep voice, "Since you said you have heard of me for a long time, you must have heard of me before. I wonder how you got my name?"

Father Zhang, "Of course it is Commander Lu who is famous and we have heard of him."

"Oh? Then tell me, how did my reputation spread?" Lu Qiyan continued to ask.

"This..." Father Zhang paused, "It is said that Commander Lu is wise and brave, has extraordinary momentum, is young and promising, and has a bright future!"

When praising someone, it is always a good idea to find nice words to use.

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he broke into a cold sweat and secretly marveled at his own cleverness.

"That's interesting." Lu Qiyan nodded slightly. "I won the favor of the commander of the wing with my first place in the military review this time. I am indeed worthy of the title of a young and promising man with a promising future."

"It's just that the commander mentioned that although I have outstanding performance in the army, I don't have enough military merit in actual combat. I need to do more meritorious deeds in my daily life in order to rise to the top."

"But after thinking about it, I realized that there are not many battles on the border nowadays. If I want to gain military merit, this military merit is probably not enough. I need to work harder and spend more time on other aspects."

"Zhang Lizheng, where do you think I should start?"

Lu Qiyan asked suddenly, and it was difficult to judge his intention. Zhang's father felt uneasy and rubbed his hands again and again, "This matter concerns Commander Lu's future. I am just a village head, and I don't know much. I dare not say much. Commander Lu is resourceful and has won the favor of the commander of the wing. I think Commander Lu will definitely have a good plan."

Put pressure on the other party!
Father Zhang was sweating again.

Lu Qiyan nodded slightly, "Since Zhang Lizheng said so, if I don't have a good plan, it will seem that I am useless and have no real talent or knowledge."

"But now that we've brought it up, I do have some thoughts. Since we're here, Chief Zhang, he might as well listen to them."

"I'm all ears." Zhang's father bowed his head respectfully and listened attentively.

"The two countries have been at war for some time. In order to expand their territory, each country wants the war to go smoothly, so naturally they have to spy on intelligence. The enemy country will definitely send many people in disguise to sneak into our territory, station at the border, and wait for an opportunity to act. Moreover, our people have lost their minds for some yellow and white things and done things that betray our country."

"These people are the first targets of our military camp to be eliminated. If we can catch a few of them and find out the enemy's spies, it would be great. It can be regarded as a great military achievement. So I want to start with these things and catch all the enemy's spies as soon as possible."

"Zhangjia Village is located in a border area. Before Changzhou City was captured, it was very close to the enemy country. According to me, many villages nearby used to travel between the two countries and trade with each other to make profits. If you think about it carefully, these people are very suspicious!"
