"Then I'll go back to the Ye family, which will be on the way. I'll retreat halfway."

Ye Yushi said this to Zhao Hongling.

"Okay, let's go together."

Zhao Hongling said reluctantly.

The original world of two people was destroyed, and Zhao Hongling was in a bad mood.

He thought that Ye Yushi was too short-sighted. If it were Nineteen and the others, they probably wouldn't come to join in the fun.

But Ye Yushi came here with him after all. Now that Xiao Changtian has become the governor of Zhenxie County, he will definitely not go back. Ye Yushi is the youngest, so it would not be appropriate to leave him behind.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongling felt even more resentful and glared at Xiao Changtian fiercely.

Xiao Changtian said he was innocent.

He had no idea what was going on, and at this moment he was asking Long Yi.

"Commander Long Yi, what exactly is going on? How did I become the governor of Zhenxie County without knowing why? Who is behind this?"

Xiao Changtian asked.

"Mr. Xiao, don't you know? It's obvious that Patriarch Xiao pushed you up. Just in time for such a great achievement, Patriarch Xiao teamed up with the Sword King to put pressure on the higher-ups to give up the position of Zhenxie County Governor to you."

Long Yi did not answer. Huang Shan ran over from behind and said in a flattering manner.

"Master Xiao also applied for a hundred-man guard. The captain is a fifth-rank guard, and the ten-man team is a fourth-rank guard. The members are third-rank guards. They are used to strengthen the defense of Zhenxie County. They also brought three years of food and fodder. Within three years, Zhenxie County will not have to pay taxes."

Huang Shan finished speaking in one breath, and saw Xiao Changtian nodded heavily.

"I see. It's my father's doing again. Okay, I get it."

Xiao Changtian admires his father in his heart.

It is not an exaggeration to say that his father Xiao Wuming is a peerless hero. However, he is too dictatorial and did not even inform himself.

Moreover, the means used were indeed unclean, and instantly pushed himself to the opposite side of this group of friends.

He didn't even need to question his father, he knew he couldn't win the argument.

His father would definitely say that he is a dragon, soaring into the sky.

When Xiao Changtian thought about the saying that everyone else was just a reptile, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"By the way, Master Xiao, your father also asked us to bring something here. We have already placed it in the lobby of the County Magistrate's Mansion. Your father asked us to take a look at it after we have all left. Please remember this."

Huang Shan's servile manner was like an old dog, which made Xiao Changtian feel a little disgusted. Xiao Changtian waved his hand and said to Huang Shan:

"I see."

Huang Shan probably also saw Xiao Changtian's attitude. A trace of anger flashed across his eyes, but it was gone in a flash. He then bowed respectfully and retreated.

"Xiao Changtian, I hope you will not let down the emperor's kindness and govern this county well. We will withdraw now."

Long Yi looked at Gong Qin who had completed the handover and said quickly.

He couldn't stay here any longer.

He was ashamed that his old friend of many years had been betrayed by the emperor, but he could not bear it if he was asked to speak ill of the emperor who had been so kind to him.

He didn't want to offend his old friend or the emperor, but he had to. He had no face to stay any longer and felt a little sorry for Xiao Yao, so it would be better for him to leave early.

Xiao Yao looked at the convoy that was already going away, with a flickering cold light in his eyes.

He is Xiao Yao. The last person who treated him like this has been left with nothing left.

Although he said it very nicely, being teased is being teased. In the days to come, not to mention that the imperial dynasty would not cause trouble to his Hengdao Escort Agency, even if they did, they would have to see if the Hengdao Escort Agency would cause trouble to his emperor.

Xiao Yao was in a bad mood. He looked back at Gu Shijiu and said softly:

"I'm in a bad mood right now, is there any way to make me feel better?"

Gu Shijiu immediately understood what he said and said a few words to Lin Zhong. In Lin Zhong's shocked eyes, Gu Shijiu nodded to Xiao Yao and said:

"Don't worry, Great Elder. We have taken back everything we should have taken."

Although Xiao Yao was confused, he still nodded in trust as he watched Lin Zhong walking away.

Zhao Hongling and others were the first to leave. They said hello to Gu Shijiu and others and went back to Bodhi County.

People from the underworld also left one after another.

Xiao Changtian did not move. He stood at the city gate to see off people from all walks of life, hoping that everyone would hate him less.

After all, he was the one who picked the fruit. Although it was not his intention, he did it. No matter the reason, as long as he did it and could not refuse, he had to admit it.

This is what his father taught him.

Although he was scolded badly, he still responded with a smile. He also understood that a real man should be able to bend and stretch.

He wiped the saliva off his face and looked quietly at Gu Shijiu and others who had not left yet.

He knew that the highlight was yet to come. He couldn't rush them, nor did he dare to rush them, so he just stood there waiting for everyone in the escort agency to finish packing.

After another stick of incense had passed, Lin Zhong led a few people and hurried over, nodding to Gu Shijiu.

Seeing this, Gu Shijiu walked up to Xiao Yao and said softly:

"Great Elder, we can go now."

Xiao Yao nodded expressionlessly.

Although he was dissatisfied and didn't know what Gu Shijiu asked Lin Zhong to do, he had no choice but to leave under the current circumstances.

He could only choose to trust Gu Shijiu.

"Belonging to the Hengdao Escort Agency, destination is Hengdao County, set off."

Xiao Yao waved his hand, and everyone from the Hengdao Escort Agency began to move slowly towards the direction of Hengdao County.

"Brother Nineteen, I'm so sorry. I really can't refuse my father's arrangement. Come back another day, I will definitely treat you to a good drink. It's all your fault this time..."

Xiao Changtian apologized to Gu Shijiu without any demeanor of a young master from a noble family.

If it were someone else, they might have felt a little touched, but Gu Shijiu had seen such scenes many times. All the hypocrisy and flattery in his previous life appeared before his eyes like clouds. Now looking at Xiao Changtian's attitude, Gu Shijiu just felt disgusted.

Gu Shijiu looked at Xiao Changtian and said softly:

"Then, Brother Xiao, what kind of compensation do you want to give me? Give me a few hundred high-level crystal stones? Give me a few fifth-level spiritual talismans? Or do you want me to ask for permission to resign?"

"This... Brother Gu is joking."

Xiao Changtian looked somewhat embarrassed and could only respond in response.

"Hahaha, let me give Brother Xiao a piece of advice. Take what you should take, and don't take what you shouldn't take. If it's not yours, you can't control it."

After Gu Shijiu finished speaking, he smiled, shook his head and left.

Watching Gu Shijiu and others leave, a trace of gloom flashed across Xiao Changtian's face, and a fierce look flickered in his eyes, but after a long time, Xiao Changtian still shook his head.

He has to be shrewd now. If he takes action against Gu Shijiu and others, he will be the only one who suffers.

Xiao Changtian watched the people from the Hengdao Escort Agency go away, then he took the hundred-man guard sent by the Huangchao, closed the city gate, and walked towards the direction of the County Magistrate's Mansion.
