Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Chapter 90 You have a knife? I have armor!

"Yang Zhi is gone?"

Hua'er Wang Taiwei played with the Yang family's treasured sword as he walked out of the mansion.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving with a thousand thanks."

The head of the guards said with a smile.

"Did you withhold someone's money?"

Grand Commandant Wang knew his bodyguard leader quite well.

"Grand Commandant, I just don't like Yang Zhi. He's just a beggar. Give him a little something."

The guard leader said with a grin.

"Whatever you say. Oh, by the way, prepare the horses. We're going to Gao Qiu's residence."

Wang Taiwei said, his eyes filled with eager excitement.

"Go to Grand Commandant Gao's place?"

"Yeah, what do you think I bought a knife for? It's all because of that old Gao. He keeps nagging and insisting that he has a treasured knife. Now that I have one too, I have to go and show it off to him."

Hua'er Wang Taiwei is such a free spirit.

"But Grand Commandant Gao seems quite unhappy lately because his son went missing. Would it be a bit inappropriate for us to go now?"

The head of the guards was a little worried. After all, Gao Qiu was also a Grand Commandant. If things got out of hand, his own Grand Commandant wouldn't be in the right.

"I don't care about him. Whether he's happy or not is his business. What does it have to do with me?"

Grand Commandant Wang seemed indifferent. His relationship with Gao Qiu was so-so, and he even looked down on Gao Qiu somewhat.

What kind of person is this, who just plays football? How dare he become a Grand Commandant like me?

Rubbish!

I heard that kid has a treasured sword in his mansion?

Hmph, I have one now too! Watch me chop him up with my knife!

What could the guard commander say? His Grand Commandant was throwing a tantrum, so he might as well just go along with it.

"Prepare the horses, let's go find Old Gao!"

Later that day.

At Gao Qiu's residence.

Gao Qiu was very unhappy lately, and he was extremely angry.

The fate of his son, Gao Kan, is unknown, and they can't catch him. It's really giving him a headache.

Then not long ago, I heard from the doorman that there was some guy named Yang, the Blue-Faced Beast, who actually wanted me to give him a chance.

Who is Gao Qiu anyway?!

Grand Commandant! Do you understand, Grand Commandant?

Does that mean any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and pay their respects?

Give me a chance? What a joke!

So he had no intention of meeting him at all.

He has even been avoiding visitors lately.

But today, a doorman reported that Grand Commandant Wang Hua'er had arrived, which forced Gao Qiu to meet him.

There was nothing they could do. In terms of rank, they were equals, and in terms of imperial favor, the Wang family wasn't afraid of Gao Qiu.

So even if he was very unhappy, he had no choice but to go and greet them.

"Hey, Lao Gao, what's wrong? You look so dejected."

Grand Commandant Wang walked in very happily and greeted Gao Qiu as soon as he entered.

"Brother Wang, what brings you here today?"

Gao Qiu was reluctant to be polite to Grand Commandant Wang, mainly because their previous relationship was indeed not very good.

"Old Gao, I heard you have a good knife, so I came to challenge you to a knife duel. Otherwise, your knife will be a bit lonely without any opponents."

Grand Commandant Wang didn't care whether Gao Qiu was happy or not; he just went straight to the point.

"Brother Wang, I've been quite busy lately. If you'd like to have a sword fight, we can reschedule for another day, how about that?"

Gao Qiu actually looked down on Grand Commandant Wang. He felt that Grand Commandant Wang was able to get to his position entirely because of his family's influence, unlike himself, who relied entirely on his own abilities!

"You're the only one who's busy? Aren't I busy?"

Grand Commandant Wang has no reason to tolerate Gao Qiu. So what if he can play Cuju (ancient Chinese football) and had a good relationship with the Emperor before he took office? Otherwise, how could Gao Qiu have become Grand Commandant?

Why are you pretending to be busy? If you're busy, does that make me look like I have nothing better to do?

So you, Gao Qiu, are the Grand Commandant?

Grand Commandant Wang immediately brandished his precious sword.

"Today, there's nothing special about it, we're just here to have a sword fight. Even if you're busy, you can definitely find the time to draw your sword, right?"

"Old Gao, we're all Grand Commandants, don't make things difficult for me, right?"

Grand Commandant Wang was truly unyielding, showing Gao Qiu absolutely no respect. Gao Qiu had no choice but to comply, as he genuinely didn't want to waste time arguing with this Grand Commandant Wang.

"I lost, fine. How can my knife compare to yours? I lost, I lost."

Are you comforting a child?

When Grand Commandant Wang heard Gao Qiu's words, he was displeased.

What do you mean? Are you trying to make me happy? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?

Gao Qiu, have you no shame?

"Why don't you dare take it out? Is it because you used that knife to harm Lin Chong last time, so the knife went into the treasury? Or is it not in your possession?"

Wang Taiwei said it directly.

"you!"

Gao Qiu's face immediately turned ugly.

"Grand Commandant Wang, watch your words! It was that traitor Lin Chong who brought a knife into the White Tiger Hall, intending to assassinate me!"

"You? Give me a break. It's all because your son fell for someone else's wife, and that's the mess you made. You think I don't know?"

Grand Commandant Wang directly exposed Gao Qiu's lies, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"You! Hmph! You can't talk about ice with a summer insect!"

Gao Qiu's face turned ashen; he didn't want to say anything more to Grand Commandant Wang.

"Oh dear, you've only been a page to Scholar Su for a few years, and you're already nitpicking with me? Have you forgotten that the Wang family is a family that values poetry and literature?"

Grand Commandant Wang laughed. "Gao Qiu, you've come here today specifically to make me slap my face, haven't you? Why are you offering yourself up for me to slap?"

"You've already tricked Lin Chong, but do you know Yang Zhi? He was thinking of coming to see you just a few days ago. Do you know where the knife in my hand today came from? It's Yang Zhi's!"

"Originally, you could have had two precious swords and kept bragging, but now, sorry, I have them, and you don't!"

After Wang Taiwei finished speaking, he suddenly drew his sword and chopped at the corner of the table, as easily as cutting tofu!

"Old Gao, it's always good to be sensible. In the imperial court, you need to do some really stupid things. After all, we can't win the world by playing football, right? Hahahaha, goodbye. We'll continue when you get your knife back."

Grand Commandant Wang made a show of it and then ran away, because he could tell that Gao Qiu looked particularly bad, and if he provoked him any further, he would probably start a fight with him.

We'll run once we've gotten our fill of the bargains!

Let him sulk by himself!

"You bastards! The Wang family! The Wang family!"

Gao Qiu watched the departing figure of Grand Commandant Wang, but could only smash his cup in a fit of impotent rage.

There was nothing he could do; the Wang family wielded considerable power in the imperial court, and Gao Qiu simply couldn't touch them!

"Is Lin Chong's sword still in the armory?"

After venting his anger, Gao Qiu summoned his men and questioned them.

"Yes, Grand Commandant, although it's in the treasury, we can take it out anytime. We'll definitely teach that Grand Commandant Wang a lesson then!"

A subordinate will naturally die for his lord's honor. Gao Qiu was rebuked by Grand Commandant Wang today, and as a loyal subordinate, he was also very angry.

"Hmph, I have a knife, and so does he. That's nothing. Do you know what else in this capital city this guy doesn't have?"

"Grand Commandant, there really is one. It is said that this Grand Commandant Wang once wanted to spend 30,000 strings of cash to see a set of precious armor, but he failed."

His subordinate thought for a moment and remembered something.

"Oh? Precious armor? That's great! What kind of armor is it? Can you get your hands on it? Once we get it, we'll go to his residence."

Gao Qiu felt that the opportunity to retaliate had arrived.

"Don't worry, Grand Commandant, a suit of armor is no problem at all."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you to handle. If you do a good job, you'll be richly rewarded!"

Gao Qiu delegated the task to his subordinates.

Gao Qiu, what he needs most is face!

Grand Commandant Wang, if you don't give me face, then you are my enemy!

You have a knife, and I have a knife too. It's nothing.

But you have a knife, and I have armor!

It's still the A you can't have!

Ah, that's my advantage!
