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

Jiang Yuan could say that Shen Ming's change of attitude was within his expectations.

He is not a fool, how could he not understand the meaning of time judgment and time seizure?

"Oh! You're quite sensible." Kong Xuan smiled and shook the long sword in his hand.

Shen Ming forced a smile and was about to speak when Wang Jue, who had been silent, fixed his eyes on him. In an instant, he drew his long sword and placed it directly on Shen Ming's neck.

"Sir...you..." Shen Ming was about to speak, but Wang Jue gave him a cold glare and he immediately shut up.

Wang Jue looked at Jiang Yuan and asked, "Sir, how do you want him to die?"

Yes, the first thing he asked was how to die, without asking whether to kill or not.

These are the brave soldiers in the army, the elite among the elites.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Yuan looked at Chen Qing. After all, these people were Chen Qing's former men. If Chen Qing was willing to protect them, Jiang Yuan didn't mind giving him face.

Of course, if Chen Qing is not safe, Jiang Yuan will never show mercy.

If Wang Jue and his men had not arrived today, one can imagine what would have happened to them. Jiang Yuan was willing to be friendly to the people in the country, but he would never be merciful to his enemies.

Chen Qing's throat moved. He knew what Jiang Yuan meant. Whether these people could survive depended entirely on his decision.

But Chen Qing asked himself, how much impact would the existence of such a group of bandits with no bottom line have around Taiping County?

Even though these people were once his subordinates, this is not a reason for them to do evil.

"Sir, I will obey you completely." Chen Qing said in a firm tone.

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and then waved his hand: "The leader will be executed immediately. The rest of the accomplices will be imprisoned. We will make plans after I return!"

"Ugh! Aaaaaah!"

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Wang Jue raised his knife and chopped off Shen Ming's head, with blood gushing out in the cold night.

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"

"Sir, we are the ones threatened by him!"

With the lessons learned from the previous incident, the other bandits had almost no hesitation and knelt down to beg for mercy. Two older bandits turned around and ran away. Zhao Kai grinned and rushed forward with a long knife in hand.

Except for Shen Ming who had reached the third level, the rest of the bandits were mostly at the first level. They had no power to resist Zhao Kai at all and were chopped to the ground in no time.

Chen Qing looked at the three people whose bodies were separated and couldn't help but sigh.

Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant.

If these people had gone to Taiping County with him, even if they didn't become rich, they would have had some extra money every month.

But now, Chen Qing didn't know how much money they had received these days. Even if it was a lot, what would it matter?

"Everyone follow me. Anyone who dares to escape will be killed on the spot!" Wang Jue looked at the remaining twenty or so people with a cold voice.

More than 20 bandits immediately lined up in a row as Wang Jue requested and stood in place waiting for orders.

Wang Jue sheathed his sword and looked towards Jiang Yuan, bowing and saying, "Sir, for safety reasons, why don't you let me accompany you?"

"Hey! What are you talking about? Do you mean I can't do it?" Zhao Kai looked at Wang Jue with a squint.

Both of them are masters of the third realm. If you, Wang Jue, can kill Shen Ming, I, Zhao Kai, can kill him too. It’s just that when you came, Shen Ming had no will to resist.

"No need. Taiping County has just recovered some of its vitality and is in urgent need of manpower. Wang Jue, you take your people back. We have enough to protect ourselves on the road." Jiang Yuan said softly.

Jiang Yuan was not chosen randomly to bring four people with him.

Zhao Kai is a master of the third realm, and his strength should not be underestimated. Together with Chen Qing, the two are the best in the third realm. Even if Wang Jue and others did not come tonight, the two of them would at most be injured and would still be able to resolve the battle.

As for Wang Gang and Li Hu, they each have their own strengths. In terms of speed alone, Li Hu is definitely the fastest one present.

As for Wang Gang, Jiang Yuan never considered whether he was useful or not. After being together for such a long time, he had already gotten used to having him around.

"Yes, then I'll take my leave!" Wang Jue nodded and drove away more than 20 bandits.

Before leaving, several second-level masters who followed them dug a pit, threw all the corpses on the ground into it, and threw a torch in.

This bandit incident came and went quickly. Among the group, only Chen Qing was slightly affected. The others were not seriously injured. They immediately assigned the night watch and went to sleep.

Jiang Yuan is still weak, and he has to train hard during the day, so the task of keeping watch does not fall on him.

Wang Gang guarded the first hour, Zhao Kai guarded the second hour, and Chen Qing guarded the last hour.

Soon it would be daylight, and it would be time for Li Hu to start training with Jiang Yuan.

Nothing happened that night. The sun rose as usual the next day. Zhao Kai and the other two came out of the tent. Wang Gang fiddled with the fire and cooked porridge, while Zhao Kai began to practice a set of swordsmanship in a casual manner.

In the distance, Jiang Yuan's face was filled with fear, and he was using all his strength.

"Li Hu! You bastard! Damn it! Is there anyone who trains like you?"

"Roar!"

As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, a roar of a beast was heard behind him. A three-meter-long tiger chased Jiang Yuan with its teeth bared.

Li Hu, who was running ahead, had a sleepy look on his face. "Sir, hurry up! Although I've temporarily slowed down this beast, it's still just as fast as you. If you're not careful, you'll catch up! Hehe!"

"Li Hu, I fuck your uncle!"

After Jiang Yuan finished cursing, he didn't dare to speak again, for fear of consuming too much energy in his body. He could clearly feel that the true energy that was usually considered lazy was now moving through his body at an extremely fast speed.

It could almost be described as a rampage. Some meridians that had not been opened were broken in an instant, and comfort and pain continued to occur in Jiang Yuan's body.

Jiang Yuan clenched his teeth, feeling as if his legs were about to leave the ground, and his body was burning as if it was being roasted by flames.

As time passed, Jiang Yuan clearly heard something breaking inside his body.

After the sound of "no effect", Jiang Yuan suddenly felt extremely comfortable all over his body, and every pore was greedily breathing in the air.

Jiang Yuan had already forgotten about the tiger behind him. When he came to his senses, the tiger had already returned to the forest.

"Not bad, I finally broke through a realm, and even the Liuguang movie broke through a level." Li Hu nodded reluctantly.

Jiang Yuan jumped a few times on the spot and let out a long breath.

After waiting for a while, Wang Gang and his companions caught up with them in four horse-drawn carriages.

Jiang Yuan climbed onto the carriage, picked up a piece of pancake and started to eat it.

The group was playing and joking, so it wasn't boring.

After a few days, they had walked more than 500 miles along the mountain road, and finally a flat road appeared in front of them.

In the evening, Jiang Yuan looked at the clouds in the sky boredly.

"Master! There is a shady shop ahead!" Wang Gang suddenly said.

Jiang Yuan was speechless. How could you tell it was a scam? How could it still be called a scam?

But when he followed Wang Gang's gaze, he nodded immediately: "It is indeed very dark."
