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

"Come here, take them away and serve them with good food and drinks." The man waved his hand, and several minions immediately came forward to escort the four people.

After a while, Jiang Yuan and his companions were taken into a room.

"Go in and stay put. If you dare to cause any trouble, I won't let you off!"

"Don't worry, gentlemen. We will absolutely behave ourselves." Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

A bandit with a big beard nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's quite reasonable. Come in."

"Big brother, we haven't had anything to eat for several days. Could you please get us some food first? Your village chief has also given instructions." Jiang Yuan said, and casually stuffed a silver note with a face value of fifty taels into the other party's hand.

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "Good job, kid, you actually managed to evade Old Wang's body search and bring the things up here."

"Haha, that's all. Please bring us something to eat." Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, wait." The bearded man said, waved his hand to let Jiang Yuan in, and closed the door.

A moment later, the door opened again and the bearded man came over carrying a basin of miscellaneous things.

"Come and eat, and behave yourself after you finish. If anyone dares to cause trouble and gets caught by me, hehe! He'll be in big trouble!"

"No, no." Jiang Yuan said, and asked Wang Gang to bring the things in.

Duanmu Yuanchen sat up suddenly, and his empty eyes gradually regained some light.

"Three, three days later, I finally see something to eat!"

Chen Liu quickly grabbed an egg, peeled it and handed it to Duanmu Yuanchen.

The latter swallowed it in two or three mouthfuls and started grabbing food directly from the bowl.

The things that the bearded man sent were quite mixed up, including everything: steamed bread, dry biscuits, eggs, and even a roast chicken.

Jiang Yuan was chewing a chicken leg, feeling a surge of emotion.

Sure enough, silver is a good thing.

If it weren't for the fifty taels of silver note, it would be strange to see any meat in the basin.

For the time it took to burn an incense stick, the only sound in the entire room was the chewing of four people. By the time the four people lay down on the straw contentedly, the basin was already empty.

"Ah, it feels so comfortable." Chen Liu rubbed his stomach, his face full of comfort.

Duanmu Yuanchen half-lying against the wall, picked up a piece of straw and picked his teeth: "Huh, it's been a long time since I last had a full meal."

"But Lao Jiang, how many days are we going to stay here?"

Jiang Yuan was lying on the straw, preparing to sleep, and he couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard Duanmu Yuanchen's words.

Sure enough, people still have to be hungry. Once they are full, they will just talk nonsense.

"Why rush? There's food and drink here. We were hungry all the way here, so we need to replenish our energy."

Chen Liu nodded and said, "That's right. We've been hungry for so long, and we've lost everything. We need to have a few good meals first."

Although they were stuck in the room and couldn't go out, the four of them didn't feel it was hard as they had food and drink. Occasionally, they could even listen to the bearded men outside the door bragging, so life was bearable.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Early this morning, the bearded man brought a bowl of food again.

Jiang Yuan didn't even need to look to know that it was just steamed buns and pickles.

It has been two days, and the effect of the fifty taels of silver has long since worn off.

"Come, eat something first." Jiang Yuan sneered and waved to everyone.

Chen Liu looked outside the door with disdain and said, "Boy, it's been two days and my body is almost recovered."

"Wang Gang, eat more." Jiang Yuan picked up a steamed bun and ate it in small bites.

"Don't worry, sir. I'm fine. I was fine yesterday." Wang Gang grinned.

Jiang Yuan looked at Chen Liu and said, "Old Wei, don't eat too much. What if you vomit when we start fighting later?"

"Hmph! Who are you looking down on? After all, I am a veteran of the battlefield. How could I not know this?" Chen Liu raised his head with a look of asking for a beating.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but shook his head. Sure enough, after a few days of good times, this expression immediately appeared.

A moment later, Jiang Yuan and his three companions were ready to go, and Chen Liu found a wooden stick from some corner.

"Are you all ready?" Jiang Yuan asked again with a serious face.

"Don't worry, it's safe!" Duanmu Yuanchen said excitedly.

It's been a mess all along the way, but this is a rare highlight moment. When I return to the palace, I can still brag to those eunuchs and masters about how the four of us took on a bandit stronghold alone!

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Who the hell asked you that? You're ready to fight me in the market."

"Master, I'm ready!" Wang Gang's honest voice came out.

"Okay!" Jiang Yuan's voice rose octaves and he waved his hand suddenly.

"Operation Change, begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Gang roared and his strong body slammed into the door.

boom!

After a loud bang, dazzling sunlight shone in. Chen Liu narrowed his eyes and rushed out in two steps. He heard a few muffled groans from outside, and the bearded man and his men were knocked to the ground.

"Huh, it's out." Jiang Yuan stretched slowly in the sun, and after groping the bearded man for a while, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Two hundred and fifty taels, still two hundred taels short!"

What a joke! When have I ever suffered a loss? No matter how much you gave me, you have to pay it all back!

"Let's go and meet their so-called village chief." Jiang Yuan picked up the bearded man's hatchet and breathed a sigh of relief.

The resentment I have accumulated along the way is so damn great that I alone can support eight evil sword immortals, eight!

By the time the group appeared in the lobby of the mountain stronghold, all the minions along the way had been dealt with by Chen Liu.

"Hey, that guy, get up!" Duanmu Yuanchen walked to a table and sat down.

The man who was originally lying on the mat sat up with a sullen face and looked at the few people.

"I remember I told you not to cause trouble for me, but it seems like you didn't listen at all."

Jiang Yuan stood silently behind Wang Gang, holding a hatchet. Then he said, "What are you talking about? How come I don't remember anything at all?"

"Why are you lying in my village for no reason?"

"Ok?"

These words confused the man. He laughed for a while, shook his head, and stood up while rubbing his fists.

"Well, let's exercise today. I want to see what you can do." The man said with a sneer, and casually lifted the mat and pulled out a spear from underneath.

"Oh! You're also a gun player?" Chen Liu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Years with a sword, months with a stick, a lifetime with a gun, anyone who practices martial arts knows this.

It is not difficult to see that it is extremely difficult to practice with a spear. Some people have practiced for a lifetime and have only just gotten started. Although this village chief has a scruffy beard, he looks only about thirty years old. How could the chief of the East Factory in Chenliu be afraid of him?

"Stop talking nonsense! Old Wei, go and beat him!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand impatiently.

It’s already this fucking time and you’re still pretending.

"Wang Gang, you go too. By the way, please say a word for me when you capture him."

Wang Gang scratched his head and looked at Jiang Yuan: "Master, we don't know him, what is there to say."

Jiang Yuan grinned and made a pistol gesture with one hand.

"Of course I'll tell him I don't eat beef!"
