Wang Ping hadn't expected the new Magistrate to be so aggressive. He was already trying to seize power the moment he arrived.
'Although civil servants and military generals each have their own stances,' he thought, 'it's different here on the frontier. The military has always come first.'

"Vice General Wang is currently at the military camp. If you've made up your mind, Mr. Gu, then I will send someone to inform him shortly." Wang Ping's voice held a trace of sarcasm. 'He really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Does he really believe he can seize control of Lu City with just the men he brought?'
