I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

In the Taizong County prison, everyone was listening attentively to Wang Kun's story.

"It's said that when Tiga and Pan Jinlian were about to go to Pansi Cave to visit Sun Wukong, they ran into someone!"

"Who is this man? His surname is Lu and his given name is Bu. He was a notorious slave of the Three Kingdoms period. He committed all kinds of evil, but Tiga is not to be trifled with. He is not from the Three Kingdoms period. He was the only one left after the Battle of Xiangji Temple."

"Without worries, he wasn't afraid of this Lu Bu. After the two of them greeted each other, Lu Bu's eyes rolled, and a conspiracy against Jinlian had already been born."

"Speaking of which, Wu Dalang, who had been waiting for Pan Jinlian at home all day, was extremely annoyed. He then borrowed an eight-fold scope from the Trisolarans. But then he realized something was wrong. They'd already kissed, and this wasn't going to work. So he quickly borrowed a portal from the blue fat man, grabbed Lin Daiyu's hairpin, and rushed straight to the Spider Cave."

"With Wu Dalang gone, everything is finished. The First World War has begun!"

Inside the cell, Jiang Yuan stared at Wang Kun in amazement.

"Did you learn this from my book?"

Wang Kun was rarely embarrassed. "How could that be, sir? This is the essence of several of your books!"

"Don't just stand there, speak quickly!" Ergou urged.

Wang Kun glared and said, "That's all I can think of. I'll continue next time."

"Oh, it's boring. It's not even as good as Ma Zhi's Zhao Zilong's Seven Ins and Outs of Changbanpo." Ergou sighed.

As soon as Ergou finished speaking, a rebuttal sounded behind him: "What do you know? If we want to talk about exciting things, it has to be the Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu!"

"Bullshit! If we want to talk about the most exciting thing, it has to be the Eighteen Towns' princes fighting against Dong Zhuo. Eighteen of them!"

The corners of Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched violently. Why are these people becoming more and more abstract?

If I let them continue like this, I will become an ancient person.

"Wang Gang, what time is it?" Jiang Yuan asked softly.

"Master, it's almost midnight." Wang Gang estimated.

Jiang Yuan suddenly perked up: "It should be almost done."

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, footsteps were heard and everyone's eyes immediately looked over.

Li Hu, dressed in a black robe, walked slowly towards them, his face stern and murderous intent between his brows.

"Sir, here is what you want." Li Hu said as he handed a few bamboo slips in his hand to Jiang Yuan.

Ergou looked at Li Hu, sizing him up and down, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up. "Not bad. Compared to other people's pretense of thirteen, I still like yours because it's round, smooth, and very durable..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yuan glared at him and slapped him: "Stop talking! It's almost 404!"

Ergou looked at Jiang Yuan aggrievedly: "What's 404?"

Jiang Yuan looked up at the roof at a 45-degree angle: "That is a mysterious power that cannot be touched casually."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan waved his hand and let Li Hu leave.

"While it's still dark, follow the plan!"

"Don't worry, sir. Running away is my strong point!" Li Hu grinned and turned to leave.

That night, the entire Taizong County was in turmoil.

Someone's door is always knocked for no apparent reason, and then there is a sound like a fox howling.

The voice was ethereal and strange, erratic and uncertain. It was right in front of him one second and a hundred meters away the next.

That night, many people in Taizong County excitedly walked out of their houses and shouted "Taiping County" or "The Great Lord of Justice" in the streets...

The next morning, Jiang Yuan and others were still asleep when they were awakened by a burst of noise.

"Get up, get up quickly! Follow me!" Old Li stood outside the cell with an anxious look on his face, directing everyone to come out.

Jiang Yuan jumped up from the ground and slapped Wang Gang to wake him up.

When everyone walked out of the cell and saw the light of day again, they found that the entire cell was surrounded by thousands of people.

Most of them were holding farm tools and kitchen knives, and were watching Jiang Yuan and his group quietly.

"Oh! It's out! It's out!"

The exclamations stunned Jiang Yuan. He looked at the excited people in front of him in shock.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

According to Jiang Yuan's original intention, it would be enough to incite a few hundred people, but there were thousands of people at the scene, which far exceeded Jiang Yuan's expectations.

"After all, this is the feudal and backward period. If I give them a hand of zero on the left and fire on the right, and the thunder god helps me, they will go crazy!"

Just as Jiang Yuan was thinking about whether to completely establish this charlatan image, Sun Xin in the distance was almost biting his back teeth.

Who the hell did I see?

This damn bastard, damn Jiang Yuan!

Are you so damn free? Why don't you go back to Taiping County and take care of your official business? Instead of putting on a show with me, why don't you just go die?

Old Li hugged Sun Xin tightly, muttering, "Master, calm down. If there's a civil uprising, it will be all over."

"Let me go, I will kill him!" Sun Xin's eyes were red, and he rushed towards Jiang Yuan desperately.

Old Li simply sat down on the ground, holding Sun Xin's thighs and refusing to let go no matter what.

"Calm down, my lord. Calm down. I'll take you to find Jiang Yuan later. We'll settle our score with him later. For now, just be patient."

"Ahhh! Jiang Yuan! You are a selfish, wicked son of a bitch!" Sun Xin stood there, flailing around, and finally sat down on the ground.

"It's so unfair! You're just a bandit! Jiang Yuan, you deserve to die!"

Jiang Yuan, who was standing not far away, simply wiped the dust off his face. He had already been recognized anyway, so there was no point in pretending anymore.

"Master, do you want to beat him up?" Wang Gang glared at Sun Xin in the distance.

You are scolding my master in front of me. You must be looking down on me.

Jiang Yuan grabbed Wang Gang and said, "Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? We're only here to recruit people. Now that we have them, why don't you let him curse?"

"If you want to get involved in this business, you must be able to face thousands of people pointing fingers at you without changing your expression. Wang Gang, you should read more books in the future."

Ergou's eyes gleamed with wisdom: "Sir, what does this mean?"

"It's not interesting, go have fun." Jiang Yuan said unhappily.

If Bai Jingyun came to ask for advice, he might have said a few words, "You kid, you don't even know what a fallen carrying pole is. What are you doing here to join in the fun?"

At this moment, Wang Kun came over and looked at Ergou triumphantly: "I told you to read more books. Let me tell you."

Jiang Yuan immediately turned his head. After all, this sentence was said by a great writer. Can you, Wang Kun, really understand it by yourself?

Could it be...

"What this sentence means is that when you go out, even if a thousand people look down on you, you have to frown and raise your middle finger to them!" By the time Wang Kun finished explaining with a proud look on his face, Jiang Yuan's face had turned dark.

"Oh, I see. Then what does the saying 'one should be able to stand on one's own feet at thirty' and 'one should be able to stand on one's own feet at forty' that adults have been saying so often recently mean?" Ergou asked again, biting his nails.

Wang Kun looked at Jiang Yuan: "Yes, sir, what does this mean?"

Jiang Yuan looked into the distance with a faint gaze.

"The meaning is very simple. 'Standing on one's own feet at thirty' means having three hundred thousand soldiers and horses is the capital to gain a foothold in this world. 'Being free from doubts at forty' means having four hundred thousand soldiers and horses means that nothing in this world can confuse us."

"To know the will of heaven at fifty means that with a force of five hundred thousand men and horses, the other nations of the world will know that what we say is the will of heaven to them!"
