Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

Chengshan City got its name from Chengshan Mountain.

When Ma Zhan stood on the tower ship and looked at Chengshan in the distance, he understood why the Weiwei County Governor's Office was located here.

Although Chengshan City is not as big as Qingshui City, its natural location and terrain are simply perfect.

Chengshan Mountain is no more than a hundred feet high and has a gentle slope. On the mountain is the government office of the Weiwei County Magistrate, which is also the garrison of the Weiwei Army.

Chengshan faces the sea, and at the foot of the mountain is the Weiwei Navy.

The Weiwei Army is composed of two parts: land and sea. The Weiwei Navy is one of the three major maritime forces of the Liang State.

Most of the people in the Weiwei Navy are descendants of Yi pirates, so the Weiwei Navy acts very fiercely.

Chengshan City has a superior location. Ships traveling south and north can avoid passing through Qingshuicheng, but they cannot avoid passing through Chengshan City.

To the west of Chengshan Sea is Liangliao Sea, so Chengshan City is also called Chengshan Cape by boatmen.

Countless merchant ships passed through the Chengshan Sea, making it a piece of fat meat in the eyes of nearby pirates.

Surrounding the four major islands of the Haizu are tens of thousands of islands of varying sizes, known as the Fuso Islands.

The Fuso tribe is home to many pirates, so they will naturally not let go of the Chengshan sea area.

The Weiwei Navy’s daily mission is to protect passing merchant ships from pirate attacks.

Therefore, the warships of the Weiwei Navy searched for Fuso pirates on the sea every day. When they were in the mood, they would sail the ships to the pirates' lair and rob them.

One has to admire the wisdom of the Liang court in recruiting pirates to fight them.

This is a similar tactic to that used by the Queen of England in her previous life, and it is indeed very effective.

As the ship got closer to the shore, Ma Zhan saw a group of little people standing on the shore.

Looking from a distance, it feels like there are dumplings being cooked in a dumpling pot. Why are there so many people?

When the tower ship docked, Ma Zhan could see clearly that it was the local officials headed by Weiwei County Magistrate Zhou Yongren.

Important generals of Weiwei's navy and army, local gentry and clan leaders of Chengshan City, and powerful people in the martial arts world were all waiting for the Ma family's ship.

The Second Master is so honored. This is the standard of reception. Even if the emperor came, it would be no different.

These people in front of him were obviously not worthy of Ma Zhongtong's liking, but he still had to give them some face.

"It's really embarrassing for Ma Zhongtong that the governor of Zhou personally came to greet me."

Zhou Yongren bowed and said, "Master Ma, there's no need to be so modest. Looking around the world, who doesn't know your name, Mr. Fire Dragon?"

"Alas...Brother Zhou, don't listen to those rumors in the martial arts world. I'm just a martial artist, how dare you call me sir?"

"Brother, let's go to my house and have a drink..."

Ma Zhan looked at the two people greeting each other, like two old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, without any awkwardness.

Ma Zhongtong was still as carefree and unrestrained as ever, and County Magistrate Zhou did not seem pedantic at all. They called each other "brother" and there was no incongruity at all.

In Ma Zhan's opinion, Ma Zhongtong's reputation was so great that even the highest official in a country had to give him enough face.

County Magistrate Zhou is a disciple of Confucianism. He would never treat fellow warriors like brothers when they meet him.

All I can say is that Ma Zhongtong has a lot of face.

Ma Zhan stood beside Ma Zhongtong carrying a tiger stick, watching the performance of the two with great interest.

Suddenly, a little girl as tall as Mengyao jumped in front of Ma Zhan.

"Xu Lang, are you here to take me away? I've been waiting for you for so long."

"I...."

Ma Zhan looked at the little girl in front of him, who was probably about twelve or thirteen years old.

Maybe it was because of the abundant sunshine in Chengshan City, the little girl's skin was slightly tanned due to the tan.

But no amount of sun exposure can hide her good looks, she is a real beauty.

The little beauty's quirky behavior is a little unskillful. I guess she usually appears to be a lady from a noble family, but when she suddenly reveals her true nature, the role switching is not done well.

Ma Zhan’s brain raced, and he remembered that this was the Bai Suzhen whom he had deceived.

The little girl is really bold. She used to call her father an old bald donkey, but now she says in public that she wants to take her away.

"Sister, don't you see what kind of occasion this is?"

The main thing is that Mengyao is still here, and you haven’t considered the consequences for me at all.

Although Ma Zhan had been a scumbag in his previous life, he had only seen such cases on TV and the Internet.

'What should I do?'

Zhou Yongren covered his forehead with his hands, the subtext of his words being, "What a misfortune for our family."

Ma Zhongtong looked at Ma Zhan with admiration, "You little brat, you have the same style as I did back then."

Maybe it was because of the silver mask, there was no emotion on Meng Yao's face, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, and she still stood quietly behind Ma Zhan.

Everyone in Chengshan City was in an uproar.

"This is Zhou Molei, the only daughter of the Weiwei County Magistrate. When did she and this boy secretly get married?"

"Who is this kid? He wants to pick the pearl of our Chengshan City."

"No way, Miss Zhou has been bewitched?"

. . . .

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Ma Zhan, and he felt a little numb in his head.

'Someone please save me...'

Ma Zhongtong laughed, "Brother Zhou, let's go and have a drink."

Zhou Yongren quickly agreed, "Let's go, let's go. Let's go quickly."

Zhou Molei directly took Ma Zhan's hand.

"Come on, Xu Lang, let's go to my house."

Ma Zhan looked at Meng Yao embarrassedly, but Meng Yao, as if she was just watching a show, suppressed her smile and slowly followed the two of them.

"Mengyao, seeing your husband holding hands with another girl and you still smiling, I really don't know how big your heart is."

Along the way, Ma Zhan didn't dare to raise his head. There were hundreds of people present, including civil and military officials, gang leaders, and ordinary people who came to watch the fun.

They all stared at Ma Zhan and Zhou Molei. If looks could kill, Ma Zhan would have been tortured to death.

Suddenly, Ma Zhan felt a chill on his neck. Someone actually released murderous intent.

Ma Zhan turned his head and looked over. He saw a young general, about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing naval armor.

Ma Zhan frowned, "Who is this guy? Did I steal his wife?"

The young general's answer to the question about horse warfare.

"Yes, you see, he has snatched my wife away."

In Chengshan City, although the daughter of the Zhou family is very popular, there are not many people who really want to marry her home.

Zhou Yongren not only held the high position of county magistrate, but was also of aristocratic origin.

The Zhou family of Jingtang is considered a prominent family in Beihe Road.

The people in Chengshan City are mostly military families and foreigners, so who would dare to approach them?

This young general is different, he also comes from a noble family.

Although it is a side branch, Zhou Yongren is also a side branch of the Zhou family.

Moreover, his uncle is the military inspector of the Weiwei Navy, a man of real power.

When he first came to Chengshan City, he fell in love with this little beauty.

Although he is two or three years younger than me, I can wait.

After spending a few years in the Weiwei Navy, his family would help him transfer to the Kyoto Imperial Guard.

At that time, Zhou Molei was just fifteen or sixteen years old, and it was the right time for them to get married.

In Chengshan City, no blind bumpkin would dare to compete with him for a woman. The young general had long regarded Zhou Molei as his own.

When he saw his future wife holding hands intimately with someone else, he was almost on the verge of exploding and wanted to chop the guy to pieces with a knife.
