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

Chen Liu was stunned for a long time before he nodded and said, "No wonder, no wonder, I finally understand why you can always come up with surprising tricks."

"As long as the relationship is not human, anyone can do it!"

Jiang Yuan sneered disdainfully. It was easy to say, but it was extremely difficult to actually do it.

"Stop talking nonsense, Lao Wei, wait until midnight and then you can do it!"

Chen Liu blinked his eyes and said, "This isn't very good. I'm a little hesitant to do it. How about letting Wang Gang do it?"

"Look at you, look at you, you can't do it right after I said that. How can a man say that he can't do it?" Jiang Yuanyi covered his chest with his hands in pain.

"Don't forget, I'm helping you and your young master. Otherwise, I would have gone to the city to eat and drink to my heart's content. Is there any need to suffer like this?"

"I've asked you to do something, but you're still trying to hold back. It really makes me sad. Forget it, I'll take Wang Gang away right away. You guys can go on your own for the rest of the trip!"

Chen Liu suddenly became anxious. They were able to survive until now thanks to this kid. If they walked the second half of the journey, they would definitely starve to death.

"No! You can't leave. Don't you want those rewards?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan grabbed Chen Liu's collar and said viciously: "I've already done the first half."

"You left in anger because you didn't do the second half. I'm telling you, you have to give me everything. If you give me even one less, I won't let you go!"

Chen Liu shuddered all over. Considering their identities, Jiang Yuan should not be a threat to him.

But this is only in theory. For the actual situation, take the Yang family as an example. He is not afraid of being attacked openly, but he is afraid that this kid will play dirty tricks.

"No, can't I do it?"

"Okay, I leave it to you." Jiang Yuan immediately let go of his hand with a smile.

At midnight, Jiang Yuan, Wang Gang and Duanmu Yuanchen were sitting under a tree with their legs crossed, resting quite leisurely.

After a while, Chen Liu came running over with a big yellow dog in his arms.

By the time everyone had finished making a fire and jerking the dog meat, it was already bright outside and the four of them fled the village.

"Alas, today I really feel sorry for the people of the world." Chen Liu sighed while carrying a large bag of dog meat.

Jiang Yuan squinted his eyes at Chen Liu and said, "If you don't leave your conscience there, we'll all be on the road alive. How about you go back and pick up your conscience, and I'll take Wang Chen and the others and continue on our journey?"

"Forget it. After all, my life is more valuable than a dog's." Chen Liu said with a wry smile.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Jiang Yuan laughed contemptuously a few times, and the group continued to move forward.

Although there are no villages around, it is not difficult to see that merchants often pass by here. The road surface is relatively flat, and it does not take much effort for a few people to walk.

During this journey, half a month passed quietly. In a valley a thousand miles away from the imperial capital, the four of them sat in the shade with lifeless eyes.

"Wang Gang, is there any dog ​​meat left?" Chen Liu asked with dry lips and a moving throat.

Wang Gang scratched his head and took out a bone from his arms: "This is the last one, take it."

Jiang Yuantou rested his hands on his head and stared at the sky, a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth. He said weakly, "It's been half a day, and there's not a single passing caravan."

"If this continues, we might starve to death here."

Duanmu Yuanchen weakly reached out and poked Jiang Yuan: "Old Jiang, I read in a book that during the Great Famine, isn't it okay to eat tree bark?"

"Look, we're almost there now. How about getting something to eat?"

Jiang Yuan slowly sat up and pointed at the tree behind him. "Go ahead, kid, go and gnaw on it. I want to see if you can make back your money by eating that little bit of bark."

"Of course, you can also choose to eat wild vegetables, but don't blame me if you die from them. I don't know what is poisonous and what is not. If you have Wang Gang's ability, just ignore what I said."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Wang Gang, who was silently stuffing some unknown fruits into his mouth.

"Master, it's sweet!"

Jiang Yuanzhen could only laugh. There were some wild fruits along the way, but for some reason, several people suffered from vomiting and diarrhea after eating them, except Wang Gang, who seemed fine.

The most aggrieved one is Chen Liu. It would be fine if you said Jiang Yuan and the others were not strong enough to handle it.

The key is that I am in the fifth realm!

He is better than Wang Gang. Why can he eat what I can’t?

"Okay, let's get going." Jiang Yuan stood up with difficulty, and the four of them wandered listlessly on the road.

Half an hour later, when Jiang Yuan looked at it inadvertently, he suddenly became alert.

"Old Wei, look quickly, isn't that a stronghold ahead?"

Chen Liu looked visibly panicked. What a fake market!

This fucking desolate mountain area is most likely a bandit's den. If it were an ordinary place, it would be fine, but the key is that I'm weak all over and my limbs are limp. I can still deal with one or two small thieves, but if I really run into a tough guy, I'll probably have to surrender.

"I guess so. Let's take a detour and go over there." Chen Liu hurriedly pulled Duanmu Yuanchen.

"Don't be afraid of anything! Come with me, I'll take you to dinner!" Jiang Yuan forced himself to cheer up.

Chen Liu looked ahead helplessly: "Old Jiang, that stronghold looks quite large. There must be at least dozens of people there. We can't defeat them now."

"Stop talking nonsense and follow me!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand impatiently.

Chen Liu was anxious and stamped his feet: "I really can't beat him!"

"Who says you have to fight to eat? Watch me!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan's confident look, Chen Liu and his companions could only trust him temporarily.

After walking two miles, they saw several bandits patrolling on the roadside.

"If they rush over later, we'll just squat on the ground and I'll take care of the rest." Jiang Yuan gave the instructions and walked quickly forward.

Not far away, several bandits stared in amazement at the four people walking towards them.

No, buddy, do you really not take us seriously?

Just as one of the bandits was about to attack, an elderly bandit slapped him in the face.

"What do you want to do, little bastard?"

"Didn't you see the guy behind him? Look at that physique. Do you think we can take him down?"

The young bandit couldn't help swallowing and felt a little scared.

Wow! That slap was bigger than my face.

"Then, what should we do?"

"Just pretend you didn't see it." The old bandit quickly came up with a solution.

On the other side, Jiang Yuan looked at the bandits expectantly, "Come on! Come on!"

Don’t look at me because I’m not dressed well, but I have several thousand taels of silver on me. For the sake of performance, please tie me up quickly!

Soon, when the two sides met, several bandits turned their heads and looked around, as if Jiang Yuan and his companions were air, and did not even glance at them.

"Old Jiang, what's going on? Why don't they take action?" Chen Liu asked in a low voice.

"Maybe he wants to launch a sneak attack, don't be impatient." Jiang Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

However, after the four of them walked a few dozen meters, there was still no movement behind them, and Jiang Yuan became a little restless.

Damn it! Bandits without dreams are no different from a bunch of salted fish!

"Old Jiang, whether you are reliable or not, this won't work." Duanmu Yuanchen groaned weakly.

Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth and took out a few banknotes from his pocket.

"Come on! Follow me and let's go again!"
