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

Jiang Yuan's body shook and he looked at Xue Zhen in disbelief.

So you have to kill me at this exact moment?

"Any questions? If not, don't delay any longer and let's get going." Xue Zhen waved his hand, and two soldiers immediately escorted Jiang Yuan from behind.

"Don't look at it anymore, just go on your way."

On the way to the execution ground, Jiang Yuan's mind was racing.

Damn it! Nine out of ten times, it was either the Yang or Ning family that did it.

Given their status, the city defense forces might not give them the courtesy to escape.

But if the guy who should have been beheaded was killed in advance, Xue Zhen would probably agree.

Anyway, everyone in my group will die sooner or later. If I die now, I can still gain a favor from someone, so why not do it?

The savior hasn’t arrived yet, but the killer has arrived first. What the hell is going on!

Soon, when Jiang Yuan stepped through the gate of the execution ground, his heart was completely relieved.

Who would have the guts to rescue them in the dead of night?

"Wait a minute!" Jiang Yuan spoke again and looked at Xue Zhen.

An impatient look appeared on Xue Zhen's face: "What? Do you have something else to do?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yuan immediately said, "Should we have a good meal before the execution?"

"According to the law, you should provide us with food, but I want to die of gluttony!"

Xue Zhen frowned: "Didn't I give you dinner tonight?"

"I'm hungry again." Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Xue Zhen looked at Jiang Yuan with a cold expression: "A ghost who is full to death? That's too rare."

"Many people around me died of hunger on the battlefield, and I haven't seen anyone's soul lingering. Do you think I believe this?"

"Drag him up! Execution!"

At Xue Zhen's command, dozens of soldiers immediately formed up.

"Wang Gang!" Jiang Yuan roared. He was going to die anyway, so he might as well give it a try!

"Master! Here he comes!"

Wang Gang straightened up suddenly, knocking the two soldiers behind him away. The muscles in his hands bulged high, and the wooden yoke broke with a sound.

"Help us all untie it!"

Qin Tianzhu roared and knocked the soldier next to him away with his head. Wang Gang took advantage of the situation and smashed the wooden shackles with a punch. When everyone was freed from the restraints, hundreds of soldiers had surrounded them.

Xue Zhen slowly drew out the big knife from his waist and looked at Wang Gang with interest.

"I didn't expect there was a hidden master. How interesting."

After saying this, Xue Zhen showed an intoxicated expression, and slowly and gently stroked the big knife in his hand.

"It's been a long time since my knife drank the blood of a master. I hope you won't let me down."

Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Gang anxiously: "Can you win?"

"I have absolutely no confidence." Wang Gang said seriously.

Jiang Yuan's mouth twitched fiercely. "What if I run? Are you sure you can get out?"

Wang Gang scratched his head and nodded: "Maybe."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan took a deep breath. Now that things have come to this, whoever survives will count.

"Wang Gang, listen to my orders. Turn around and run right now! Keep running, out of the imperial capital, to our Taiping County."

Wang Gang trembled all over and looked at Jiang Yuan with red eyes: "Master, I won't leave. You promised me not to leave."

In an instant, Jiang Yuan felt as if his brain was struck by lightning, and several images hidden deep in his mind reappeared.

It was a scene from childhood, when Jiang Yuan's house had just been raided and even his grandfather Jiang Qiao was taken away.

When the two children who escaped the disaster were sitting on the roadside crying, Jiang Yuan blamed everything on Wang Gang, beat and scolded him, and told him to get out.

At this moment, a white-haired old man came over and touched Jiang Yuan's head with a smile.

The old man's name is Li Canglan and his grandson's name is Li Hu.

Just as Jiang Yuan's mind was still in chaos, a teasing voice spread throughout the execution ground.

"My Lord, how did you get so miserable without me?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head and couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from.

A figure suddenly appeared on the weapon rack at the execution ground.

He was wearing a green robe, holding a long sword, and the breeze slowly blew his long hair.

"Li Hu?!" Jiang Yuan shouted.

Shouldn't this guy be in Taiping County? Why did he end up in the imperial capital?

At the same time, Xue Zhen looked at Li Hu in the same confusion.

No, man, do you know where this is?

This is a fucking military camp!

Not even a fly can fly in, but it is also heavily guarded. How did this person get in?

"Get it for me!"

Following Xue Zhen's roar, more than a dozen soldiers immediately raised their crossbows and fired a round of arrows.

Jiang Yuan and his companions were deeply worried about him, but soon, the worry disappeared in an instant. Jiang Yuan couldn't even see what was happening, and Li Hu's figure had disappeared from the spot.

"Too slow, too slow!" Li Hu's faint voice came from behind Xue Zhen.

"What the hell..." Jiang Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

He dodged dozens of crossbow arrows with ease. Is he still a human being?

Is the Li family's martial arts really that awesome?

"Alas, sir, if you had endured more hardships in these years, broken through to the third realm as soon as possible, and practiced my Li family's light skills to the eighth level, the world is so big, there will be nowhere you can't go." Li Hu smiled faintly and shook his head.

"No, why are you here? Then who did you come with?" Jiang Yuan said in astonishment.

"Not many people came, only the Bai siblings, Zhao Kai and the four of us." Li Hu said lightly.

Jiang Yuan wanted to ask something, but Xue Zhen suddenly drew out his long sword and said, "Enough!"

"I don't care who you are, trespassing into a military camp is a capital offense!"

Li Hu glanced at Xue Zhen indifferently and tossed his hair nonchalantly: "Okay, then come and kill me."

As he spoke, Xue Zhen rushed forward, waving his long sword. The cold sword light flashed across the night sky, and Li Hu was like a leaf in the wind, floating unsteadily.

After a while, Xue Zhen reluctantly stopped what he was doing. It had been such a long time, and he hadn't even touched the person, let alone the clothes.

"Oh my god! The dodge function is maxed out!" Jiang Yuan swallowed his saliva. If he had this skill, there would be nothing to be afraid of.

Unfortunately, I am only at the second level now, and Liuguang Movie is only at the fourth level.

Xue Zhen sheathed his sword, looked into the distance and whistled faintly.

Tatata!

A fiery red horse rushed to Xue Zhen like the wind. Xue Zhen immediately jumped on the horse and took a spear from the weapon rack.

"Come on! I want to see if you can outrun this Ferghana horse of mine!"

Li Hu spread his hands helplessly: "It really can't be done."

"If you know you can't win, surrender immediately!" Xue Zhen shouted loudly.

Li Hu rolled his eyes: "I mean, you can't!"

"Looking for death!" Xue Zhen was furious. I don't believe this kid can cause any trouble in my own territory!

However, just as he was about to take action, Li Hu casually threw out a token.

"Huh? What is that?" Xue Zhen was stunned for a moment, then reached out to catch it, stared at it for a long time with wide eyes, and looked at Li Hu with a sullen face.

"Since he is the Minister of Revenue's man, why is he hiding his head and showing his tail?"

Li Hu walked over slowly and took the token back: "You didn't ask me."

After saying that, Li Hu walked directly in front of Jiang Yuan and said, "Sir, you are doing really badly."

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Since you have the token of the Minister of Revenue, why don't you just take it out? Why are you fighting with him?"

Li Hu looked at Jiang Yuan with a sidelong glance, looking disgusted.

"I gave it directly, so why should I pretend?"

"Do you know how much I've suffered to get Liuguang Movie to the eighth level?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Li Hu speechlessly: "So you practice martial arts just to act silly?"

"Not entirely." Li Hu said softly, and then continued: "My grandfather told me that if I really can't make it, I can practice Qinggong well and become an outlaw in the future."
