I got excited and entered my own game save file.

Ma Teng's face turned green at that time, and most of the commanders of the Wandering Army also scolded their mothers in their hearts, praying that they would not be their own troops - although they had the confidence not to be fully targeted by the government, but since there was a big deal here, they didn't want to cause Ma Teng to grab the handle and bargain because of such a small.

Zhang Han knew that he had given his subordinates a holiday today, and guessed that nine times out of ten the troublemakers would be his own people, his face instantly turned red, and although Zhao Xintao also expected that his subordinates might be involved, there was no emotional fluctuation. There are only two things she is worried about: is there a conflict between her subordinates and her subordinates deliberately causing trouble, and if her subordinates have good reasons to conflict with Xiliang's family, then how should she protect the calf?

In Xintao's eyes, the price of this march into the Central Plains is not important, she values her prestige in the army more. If you make less money, you can do more work and earn more; even if you offend the Xiliang Mansion miserably, it's a big deal to change places and fight again; but if the team is scattered, it will be troublesome, and the combat efficiency of the soldiers on the basis of loyalty to her will be greatly reduced.

After a brief cleanup, Ma Tengdian led a team of personal soldiers and went. The leaders of the Wandering Army followed. When I arrived outside the tavern where the incident occurred, I had already seen a group of officers and soldiers guarding there, and the surrounding people were also frightened and curious to gather around and watch from a distance.

Ma Teng and the leaders of the Wandering Army took some time to squeeze in, and just happened to hear Ma Chao's generous statement. Ma Teng was also relieved to hear that his two sons were not, but when he realized that the two children were beating the children of several other colleagues with the bandits, the fire in Ma Teng's heart came up again. Unsure if "righteousness and courage" is a fact, he simply took it as his son's side first, and scolded him first - even if it wasn't, he first showed his attitude to his colleagues and let them have a step.

"Two rebels, don't kneel yet!".

When Ma Chao and Ma Dai heard that their parents were coming, their faces instantly turned like earth, and they all knelt down at Ma Teng, who had just arrived.

As for the soldiers in the tavern, they had all kinds of disdain for the officials and soldiers before, but now they were all frightened and silent when they saw their leaders coming. Just now, there may have been a few people who continued to drink and laugh regardless of it, but now they all stood up and bowed to their lords.

When the other legion commanders saw their subordinates, they all called them out first and reprimanded them in the street, but after letting her people gather outside, she just walked slowly past the head of the group with her hands behind her back, turning her head to scan every subordinate.

Ling Xiao knew that he would cause trouble, but he didn't expect to poke such a big basket, and Xintao was actually in the city. After a moment's hesitation, he took the initiative to step forward.

"Report! It's the small one's first move, and the brothers are afraid that the small one will suffer a loss as a foil -- if the lord wants to punish him, he will punish the small one......

."

Xintao suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Ling Xiao with an indifferent expression.

"Did I say I'm going to punish you?".

After speaking, she turned around and walked towards Ling Xiao.

"You're a conspicuous person, and you've always impressed me...... Ling-Xiao?".

Xin Tao's voice dragged on for a long time, as if to confirm to Ling Xiao that she had not misremembered his name - although in her current tone, even if she was wrong and said "Lin Xiao", Ling Xiao would have to change her name to "Lin Xiao" immediately, there was no doubt.

The lord's coercion was very good, but Ling Xiao was also surprised, he just mentioned it to Xin Tao at the celebration banquet that day, and Xin Tao actually remembered it. So for a moment, he was even dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Of course, Xin Tao didn't expect Ling Xiao to have any reply on this question. Soon, she lowered her head, straightened her sleeves by herself, and no longer looked into Ling Xiao's eyes.

"Tell me, what's going on?".

So Ling Xiao told Xintao about the matter. Although Xintao didn't look at him, she couldn't help nodding her head, indicating that she was listening. After Ling Xiao finished explaining, she asked Ling Xiao to return to the team, and she went to find the wandering troops and family members of other troops to collect evidence. After mastering the eyewitness reports from all the parties involved and confirming that Ling Xiao was indeed acting righteously, she pulled Ma Teng and the high-ranking officials of Xiliang to the side and laughed for a while.

Although Xintao doesn't have a good relationship with them, everyone has no bad feelings towards her. Now that she knew that she was at fault, the little girl took the initiative to apologize, and the two sons of the leader were also involved, and the officials were no longer entangled, but just verbally warned Xintao and asked her to discipline her subordinates well, so they each led their children to disperse and go back to the house for family education.

Xin Tao returned to the team and said that the matter had been settled, so that his subordinates could go back to drink and eat meat with peace of mind, and he called Ling Xiao out alone and took him to an alley.

Ling Xiao felt a thorn in his back, but he didn't dare to escape, so he could only keep up. When there was no one around, Xintao stopped and turned around, his heart had already risen to his throat, and he looked at this unsmiling woman tiger general worriedly.

Unexpectedly, Xin Tao actually smiled.

"Well done!".

"Huh?!".

The girl's sweet smile was like a spring breeze in March, but Ling Xiao almost suffered a myocardial infarction, and she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of "President Zhao".

"Ah, what, if it's me today, I'll give the brothers a chance to do it? I'm going to have to beat that little bastard half to death!"

After saying it with a smile, his heart suddenly turned positive and stared straight at Ling Xiao.

"But you're still young—though we may be about the same age—but, the next time you encounter something like this, you kid will give me a little more cleverness and a more clever approach. It's true that we can walk sideways in Xiliang, but you say, after all, they are officials, we are the people after all, and there are some things that we should not make trouble in public, right?"

"Subordinates know their mistakes......".

"I don't blame you, you're right, it's just a little bit inappropriate - any idea why I can remember your name?".

“...... Why?".

"You are different from the others, you have a drive, which is a virtue that many brothers do not have—don't be proud, you have only seen this momentum in those who are generals—you know what I mean?".

Does Momentum mean that I have a different desire to attack than other miscellaneous soldiers?

Ling Xiao couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and nodded yes again and again, not even reacting to the subtext of Xintao's words just now. Xin Tao didn't care whether he understood it or not, he understood it, so he patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder.

"Little brother works hard, and the future is very bright. "

“...... Thank you for your appreciation!".

Ling Xiao thanked him respectfully, but in his heart he secretly laughed at himself that this boss was quite good at drawing big pies, because he couldn't believe that Xintao really valued him.
