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

Chen Liu looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion. What did he mean?

Who is this guy talking to?

"Old Wei, I didn't expect that I am so important in your heart. I am really touched." Duanmu Yuanchen, who was eating barbecue, said happily.

"Young, Young Master?" Chen Liu suddenly turned around and looked at Duanmu Yuanchen who was hiding in the crowd.

"You're not dead?"

"Should I fucking die?" Duanmu Yuanchen shouted in dissatisfaction.

Chen Liu suddenly exhaled, wiped his face, then turned around abruptly and grabbed Jiang Yuan by the collar.

"Old Jiang! How the hell did you arrange this? You even lied to me, are you even human?"

Jiang Yuan calmly reached out and wiped the saliva from his face.

"Stay calm. This is called escaping from the shell. Anyway, those assassins have succeeded now. There will be no danger on the road ahead. We can go straight to the imperial capital."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan looked at the barbecue in Qin Tianzhu's hand and said, "I never thought that you, Old Wei, would think so highly of a pig. It's even more important than your father."

"But now that it's dead, why not mourn for it? Give it a send-off."

"Fuck you! How did you do it? What are your plans next? Tell me now! If you dare to fool me again, I will never let you go!" Chen Liu looked at Jiang Yuan with gritted teeth.

Damn it, if it weren’t for you, would I be able to cry in front of so many people?

Where will I put my old face in the future?

Jiang Yuan spread his hands and said calmly, "Your brain is really not working well. I've already told you to escape, why are you still asking?"

“As for what’s next, what other plans can we have? Just bring back some of those common people, let your young master sneak in, and then enter the imperial capital.”

Half an hour later, the people who had originally dispersed gradually returned to the carriage.

"Let's rest for a night and we'll set off tomorrow." Jiang Yuan said calmly.

After counting the number of people, only a small half of the nearly 1,000 people have returned here.

But what Jiang Yuan felt most sorry for were the two men, Big Beard and Little Braid, who were originally exploring the way ahead.

It's been half a day and he still hasn't come back. It's most likely dead.

"Hey, rest in peace, you and your friend." Qin Tianzhu and other bandit leaders said to a small mound of graves.

The body could not be found, so several people simply built a cenotaph for it.

Chen Liu felt very uncomfortable watching from the side. Although Duanmu Yuanchen was not dead, the two bandit leaders were really gone.

"Don't worry, their deaths will not be in vain." Chen Liu said gritting his teeth.

He sacrificed his life to protect the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and died for his country. It would be inappropriate if he was not granted the title of Marquis.

If the two have descendants or relatives, they will also receive special care.

The family tree is open, and he is the ancestor of the revival.

The next day, Jiang Yuan continued to climb up with hundreds of people. It took them until the afternoon to see the majestic city walls of the imperial capital after a journey of twenty miles.

"Finally back!" Duanmu Yuanchen couldn't help but sigh.

Ever since leaving the imperial capital, I haven't had a single peaceful day!

Jiang Yuan looked at the imperial capital with a complicated expression. After all, he was here again.

This time is very different from the last time. Last time I came here of my own free will, but this time, I was simply forced here as a pawn.

Especially with the forces behind Wang Mu competing with each other, the situation has become a complete mess.

"Let's go into the city." Jiang Yuan said softly.

However, before they reached the city gate, a large number of soldiers rushed over.

"Take them all down!"

"Shit! What's going on?" Jiang Yuan was shocked. I just arrived in the capital and haven't done anything yet, and he's been taken down directly?

"Old Wei, hurry up and take a look. We're already on your territory. You can't let me suffer any injustice, right?"

"Look at it."

Chen Liu nodded pretentiously: "What are you doing? Why are you blocking our way?"

Just as Chen Liu finished speaking, a strong man riding a tall horse with a cold face slowly came up to the crowd.

"You were the ones causing trouble in Dongying City, weren't you? You even dared to steal the token of a first-rank official. You're quite brave!"

"Put them all in jail!"

Jiang Yuan's body trembled. Sure enough, the information from Dongying City had indeed reached here, but fortunately there was Chenliu.

This guy's identity is not ordinary. No matter what, he won't really be thrown into jail, right?

Just as Jiang Yuan had this thought flashed through his mind, he saw Chen Liu retreating with a wry smile.

"Huh? Why are you back?"

Chen Liu scratched his head awkwardly: "Well, these guys are the city defense troops, it's useless for me to show up."

Jiang Yuan's face darkened instantly. Useless?

Wouldn't that mean he'd have to go to jail? And if his enemies in the capital used some tricks on him, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of it.

"Fuck! Listen up, folks! These people were sent by the Yang family to stop us. If you don't want to die, rush out with me!"

As soon as Jiang Yuan shouted, Qin Tianzhu and other bandit leaders rioted instantly.

It’s good that these people were arrested, maybe they can be released, but if they are arrested, what good end will they have?

"Come on!"

Under the leadership of Qin Tianzhu and others, hundreds of ordinary people became furious and began to run around in all directions.

This scene stunned the general of the city defense army. He never thought that these people would dare to take action directly, but it was difficult for them to kill them.

"Are you crazy? Those are the city defense troops. If you touch them, you will lose your head!" Chen Liu looked at Jiang Yuan in amazement.

I knew you were brave, but I didn't expect you to be this brave!

"Once they enter the city, they are in your territory. Are you still afraid of them?" Jiang Yuan said angrily.

"But, but this will cause too much trouble!" Chen Liu said gritting his teeth.

Jiang Yuan turned around and patted Chen Liu's shoulder: "Very good, then you stay and explain to them, I'll go first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan, Wang Gang and others found a weak point and rushed out.

The city defense forces are very strong, but that also depends on how many there are. There are only a hundred city defense forces. If Jiang Yuan and his men fight head-on, a few of them will definitely die, but they still have two or three hundred civilians to protect them.

"Damn it! I'd rather die than let my friend die!"

Chen Liu lowered his head and murmured something, then pulled Duanmu Yuanchen out of the encirclement with one hand.

When the group got together again, they were already in the outer city.

"Old Wei, lead the way quickly. We will probably be caught up soon." Jiang Yuan urged.

Chen Liu looked hesitant. This Jiang Yuan was indeed a big swindler.

The two or three hundred civilians brought here from Dongying City were used as pawns to disrupt the city defense forces.

And forget about the twenty taels of silver that Jiang Yuan had promised him before. This is so heartless that he deserves to be beheaded ten times.

But no matter what, the ultimate goal is to bring Duanmu Yuanchen back alive. If this matter is not discovered, then he will be lucky.

After realizing this, Chen Liu no longer hesitated and waved his hand immediately.

"Come with me, I'll take care of anything that happens on my territory!"

Thanks to their quick actions, they finally arrived at the inner city before the outer city defense forces informed the inner city defense forces of the news.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

A stick of incense later, in the courtyard of Chen Liu's residence in the East Factory, a group of guys who had caused chaos in the imperial capital were lying on chairs enjoying a group of maids massaging their shoulders and backs.

"It's finally over." Jiang Yuan leaned back in his chair, exhausted.

It's really not easy to get into the imperial capital. It's been so fucking difficult all the way here. If it weren't for the support of those kind people, I would have starved to death on the road.

After a short rest, Jiang Yuan regained his spirits. Arriving at the imperial capital was just the beginning. The most important thing was to survive the subsequent open and covert struggles among various forces.

"You guys rest here first, I'm going to see our master." Chen Liu stood up and said.

"Go ahead, don't forget what you agreed on." Jiang Yuan said lazily.

Chen Liu looked at Jiang Yuan with a hidden look.

Do you still have the mood to care about those material things?

You charged into the city defense army and offended the Yang family and the person in the palace. It’s hard to say whether you can survive.

After all, a title like Marquis is considered a title whether it is bestowed on a living person or a dead person.
