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

Jiang Yuan's face froze and he stood there.

A head-on fight is impossible, and I am no match for this guy anyway.

"Are you Xu Ming?"

"good."

Xu Ming responded and walked out of the shadows at the city gate with his bare hands. He rubbed his fists and said, "Letting these gatekeepers sleep for a while should be okay, right?"

Jiang Yuan frowned and looked at Xu Ming: "What do you want to do?"

If the latter was determined to stop him, shouldn't he have done it on the mountain?

Since you chose to stop me here, you must have some ulterior motive.

Xu Ming nodded gently and said, "Smart guy, I'm not in the same group as them, so I won't necessarily try to stop you."

"Then get out of the way quickly." Jiang Yuan gradually lost his patience. Wang Gang and his group were definitely no match for those old men. They might die at any time, and he had no time to waste.

"Haha!" Xu Ming sneered and said slowly, "Since I'm blocking your way, you can choose not to attack me or you can attack me. The final result depends on whether you can afford the price."

"What do you want?" Jiang Yuan asked through gritted teeth.

There is no chance for bargaining in the current situation, we can only stabilize the other party first.

clap clap clap!

Xu Ming clapped his hands rhythmically a few times and said with a smile, "Great! Then I won't hesitate. When you move Senior Li's grave, I want something from the coffin."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan agreed without even thinking.

Xu Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuan: "Agree so quickly? Don't you want to think about it?"

"There's nothing to think about. Things are not as important as lives!"

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Xu Ming immediately turned sideways and gestured to let Jiang Yuan pass.

After Jiang Yuan rushed into the county government office, he rushed into the side room panting, grabbed the already built musket with one hand, grabbed a few small packages with the other hand, turned around and rushed to Xiaoqing's room again.

According to the tests a few days ago, the power of the musket can threaten a master of the fourth realm within twenty meters. Once it exceeds this range, it will be useless. It is still necessary to call in a large force.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Jiang Yuan knocked on the door loudly. As the door opened, Xiaoqing, wrapped in a piece of clothing, looked at Jiang Yuan timidly.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said immediately: "Xiaoqing, it's urgent, hurry up..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiaoqing said with a troubled expression, "Master, no matter how anxious you are, you should at least wash off this sweat, right?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned, then slapped his forehead and said, "That's not it. Put on your clothes right now and go to the barracks to find Hatu. Tell him that I gave the order and ask him to take his men to the South Gate Desolate Mountain immediately."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan slapped the gavel into Xiaoqing's hand and said, "Take this, he will believe you."

Just as Jiang Yuan turned around to leave, a force knocked him aside.

"Ah! Master!"

Before Jiang Yuan could get up, Xiaoqing let out a scream.

"Xu Ming!"

Jiang Yuan quickly stood up and looked at Xu Ming, who had been following him, with a ferocious expression. He clenched his fists and said, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Haha! There's no need to be angry. What you should do now is not to stand here and stare at me." Xu Ming pinched Xiaoqing's neck with one hand and said:

"Don't worry, go ahead. As for the military camp you mentioned, I'll notify them for you. And as for this little girl, you can treat her as my hostage."

"After all, no one can guarantee whether you will give me the things afterwards, but don't worry, as long as you give it to me, I won't hurt her."

After saying this, seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't move, Xu Ming's expression gradually turned cold.

"Hurry up and leave, do you want to watch this girl die in front of you?"

"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded grimly, turned around and left.

Jiang Yuan ran out of the room without any thought of looking for the patrol team. These people were not very strong and would be courting death in front of Ding Yong's group of old foxes.

On the barren hill at the south gate, Li Hu looked at Ye Tian with bloodshot eyes.

"Don't waste your energy. You are no match for me. Just stay aside and maybe you can save your life."

"You bastard! Even if I'm not your opponent, don't even think about touching my grandfather's grave today!" Li Hu rarely drew out his long sword.

Zhao Kai, Wang Jue and others have been entangled by their opponents. It is already very difficult to ensure that their opponents will not escape. Ye Tian can only be dealt with by Li Hu.

"You don't know your own limitations!" Ye Tian snorted coldly, stepped forward with his sword, and stabbed Li Hu continuously, making him look miserable.

The Li family's Liuguang movie is indeed a martial art that requires extremely fast movement and speed, but it does not record any offensive moves. If Li Hu had no worries, he would definitely be able to get rid of Ye Tian easily, but now he can only run for his life.

However, not long after, a figure retreated, spitting out blood.

Li Hu hurriedly shook off Ye Tian and came to Chen Qing: "How is it?"

"It's okay, I won't die." Chen Qing stared at Ye Hong with his eyes fixed on him: "As expected of a fourth-level master, Mu Cangtian and I have no power to fight back."

"You get back here too!" Ye Hong shouted angrily, slashing down with the sword in both hands. Mu Cangtian gritted his teeth and raised his sword, but he could only block one sword, and then he was chopped away directly, and the sword in his hand was thrown to the ground.

Ye Hong looked at the two of them with pride: "You are only at the third realm, and you dare to stop me? You are overestimating yourself!"

Li Hu walked over and helped Mu Cangtian up. He looked at Ye Hong with red eyes and clenched fists. He regretted why he had not learned some proper moves in the beginning. Now he could only rely on Chen Qing and the other man to hold him back at the risk of their lives.

Ye Tian walked to Ye Hong, and the two of them walked towards Li Hu and the other two.

"Your resistance ends here." Ye Hong looked at the few people nonchalantly, the sword in his hand ready to strike.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard.

"Old Deng, if you dare to touch them, I'll make sure you're left with nothing!"

Ye Hong looked at the newcomer with a strange look in his eyes. This young man had obviously run away, but he actually dared to come back alone without anyone else.

Is he crazy enough to come back and seek death?

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the few people. Fortunately, he caught up. He quickly walked to Li Hu and the other two.

"I'm fine." Chen Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and tried to straighten his back, but the hand holding the long sword couldn't stop shaking. It was obvious that he had reached the end of his strength.

Mu Cangtian was even more direct. He wiped the blood off his face, snatched the long knife from Li Hu's hand, and held his head high: "It doesn't matter, come again!"

Jiang Yuan immediately showed an expression of "come on, that's it". He was still coming even though his tiger's mouth was broken. He was really a young and inexperienced person who was not afraid of the tiger.

"Okay, you two take a break. Let me deal with this guy." Jiang Yuan said, taking off the musket that had been filled with gunpowder on his back.

Li Hu looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion. I was the one who taught you those two moves. How could I not know how capable you are?

"Sir, it's already this late, stop pretending."

Chen Qing also nodded: "Well, sir, please step back and leave it to me."

Jiang Yuan pushed the two men behind him in a bad mood, raised his musket and faced Ye Hong directly, with a slight smile on his face: "Ye Hong, you are a sword cultivator, right?"

"That's right, what can you do to me?" Ye Hong sneered.

They had already completed the investigation before taking action. All the strong men in Taiping County are here. As for this so-called county magistrate, although he is cunning, is he useful in the face of absolute strength?

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan directly lit the fuse. Since it was a musket, the fuse was not as long as that of the truth grenade. It took almost less than a second from ignition to firing.

Stab it!

boom!

A strong smell of gunpowder filled the air. Jiang Yuan didn't even look at it. He casually raised his musket and blew away the smoke from the barrel.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I'm a gunsmith!"
