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

"Damn! What the hell is Li Hu doing? There's no news at all!"

"Just beat him up and vent your anger!"

After swearing a few times, Jiang Yuan, who was lying on the chair, took the letter off his face, stood up and walked out of the county government office.

"Master, where are we going?" Wang Gang hurriedly caught up.

"Go find Li Hu. It's been so many days, and we still can't find out who he is!" Jiang Yuan said unhappily.

Just as Jiang Yuan was heading to the city wall to look for Li Hu, Tian Wen excitedly knelt on the ground on a high mountain outside the Taiping County wall.

After more than ten days, I finally saw the city wall.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and scout to see who is guarding this city." The lieutenant general who escorted Tian Wen all the way here said calmly.

"Go quickly and come back quickly." Tian Wen said quickly.

The lieutenant responded and quickened his pace to leave.

"Sir, have some water." A soldier came to Tian Wen holding a large leaf as a container.

A moment later, when the lieutenant general came back with an incredible expression on his face, Tian Wen could hardly suppress the excitement on his face.

"General Zhang, what do you think? Is this city our Daduan territory?"

General Zhang nodded in astonishment. "What the hell! There's actually such a huge city here, and there's even a sign on the city wall saying it's just a county!"

"What? A county? How could a county town have such a majestic city wall?" Tian Wen also couldn't believe it.

Seen from a distance, the city wall was much higher than the wall of his Luoyun City.

It should be noted that the current mainstream city walls are only eight to twelve meters high, but the wall of this fortified city in front of us, just looking from a distance, is at least fifteen meters away.

With such a high city wall, you tell me it’s a county?

How is this possible? How could there be a county town in the world that could afford to build such a high city wall? Even if all the treasury silver was used, it could not be built.

Besides, this city is located on the border, surrounded by mountains, where no one lives. Where would they get the money to build such a city wall?

Thinking of this, Tian Wen couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"General Zhang, I once read a legend in an ancient book. It said that a man was walking in the desert, thirsty and hungry, but suddenly saw a lake. When he ran over, he found that the lake was still in the distance."

"Ancient texts describe this kind of scene as a wonder. Could it be that we've encountered one today?"

Hearing Tian Wen say this, General Zhang's heart couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "This, it shouldn't be possible. The ancient books said it was in the desert, and we are not in the desert here."

"Right!" Tian Wen seemed to remember something and quickly stood up and walked to General Zhang's side: "General Zhang, since you can see that this is a county town, have you seen the full name of this county town?"

General Zhang nodded as if it was a matter of course. "Of course it's written on the city gate: this city is called Taiping County."

"What county?!" Tian Wen screamed out loud, his whole face expressing one emotion: shock and disbelief.

How the hell can this be believed?

Taiping County was destroyed in the final war between the two countries. Not to mention the city walls, there were not even a few intact houses left. To put it bluntly, even the county government office was demolished and thrown down as a weapon to defend the city.

Afterwards, Daduan completely ignored them. Not only did he not send anyone, he didn't even give them a grain of food.

Two or three years ago, Jiang Yuan was forced to enter Luoyun City to do business and sell tea. What does this mean?

The magistrate of a county town has come out to make money. This county town can only be described as terrible.

But how long has it taken for Taiping County to develop to this point?

How did Jiang Yuan do it?

After some thought, Tian Wen suddenly remembered what Jiang Yuan said when he left a while ago. If Luoyun City was breached, he could consider coming to Taiping County.

It was not until now that Tian Wen understood the confidence that Jiang Yuan had in saying this.

"So that's it, so that's it!" Tian Wen looked at the Taiping County wall in front of him with sudden enlightenment.

"No wonder Jiang Yuan was able to rise from a county magistrate to a baron, and then to a viscount, in just three years. He must have made such great achievements."

"This is incredible!"

After muttering these two sentences, Tian Wen looked at General Zhang eagerly: "By the way, has this city fallen into enemy hands? Is it still our Great Duan city now?"

General Zhang shook his head helplessly. "It hasn't been captured. I doubt the rebels even noticed this city."

"After all, the feng shui map of Yunzhou only mentioned that there was a county here. And judging by the icon on the map, this is clearly a low-level icon. Even we didn't notice it, let alone the rebels."

Hearing this, Tian Wen's face was already full of relief: "There is always a way out!"

"Everyone speed up, let's rush into the city!"

At the same time, on the wall of Taiping County, Jiang Yuan staggered up and slapped Li Hu on the back of the head.

"Li Hu, it's been a few days and there's no news at all. What are you doing?"

"Sir, you can't blame me entirely. How would I know where Tian Wen ran off to?" Li Hu turned his head and looked at Jiang Yuan aggrievedly.

"Besides, didn't news come back a while ago? Luoyun City was breached. Doesn't that count as news?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly: "This is bullshit news. With so few people in Luoyun City, it's only a matter of time before they are defeated."

"Hurry up and send people out to search for Tian Wen as soon as possible. Then spread the news that Tian Wen has fled here to the rebels in Luoyun City, so that they will come here."

Li Hu looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion: "Sir, did you oversleep? Isn't it good for us to be here without anyone noticing us?"

"If I really do what you say, won't I be courting disaster?"

"You know shit! If the rebels don't come, how can we gain benefits? How can we report our military exploits to the higher-ups? Do you want a promotion and a raise?" Jiang Yuan's questions confused Li Hu.

"Sir, if we want these things, we can just attack Luoyun City directly. The rewards should be higher then."

As soon as Li Hu finished speaking, Jiang Yuan sighed.

"The name Tiger Force is indeed appropriate. Don't you think that when the rebels come, we will be the ones defending the city. We have the advantage of terrain and people's hearts, so the casualties will definitely not be too great."

"But if we attack Luoyun City, tens of thousands of people will die. Then the reward will be useless!"

Just as Jiang Yuan was counting on his fingers, Li Hu tilted his head and was about to sigh when he caught sight of several figures from the corner of his eye. He quickly looked over. Wow! Thirty or forty people, and the guy leading them was wearing an official uniform. It had to be that unlucky Tian Wen.

"Sir, I have found Tian Wen's whereabouts." Li Hu said weakly.
