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

"Oh my, this one bite is so delicious!"

As Ma Zhi was talking, his mouth was full of oil as he ate. The cavalrymen guarding outside followed his example and raised the buns in their hands and shook them non-stop.

"Delicious! Really delicious!"

A simple meal of meat buns made everyone in Ding Yin's army stare blankly. They swallowed their saliva frantically, but they dared not move at all, for fear that the battle formation would be exposed and someone would rush over directly.

In Ding Yin's formation, even several of his trusted aides could no longer bear it and looked at Ding Yin eagerly.

"General..."

"We are at a dead end here."

"Yes, General, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him."

Ding Yin took a deep breath. He certainly understood this truth. Moreover, he, like the soldiers around him, had been holding on for a whole night and a half, and his stomach was already growling with hunger.

Even if he is a master of the fourth realm, he is still a human being. If he doesn't eat for two days, he will still be too hungry to get up.

Although it has only been one day, the mental and spiritual drain is really too great.

The reason why I am still holding on and not surrendering is actually because of my self-esteem.

"If you want to surrender, then surrender. I would rather die in battle." Ding Yin closed his eyes and trembled all over.

Several confidants remained silent and did not speak. After a while, they silently dropped their weapons. Although doing so was tantamount to betraying Ding Yin, not everyone was not afraid of death.

There was the first one, and soon the second and the third. In a blink of an eye, everyone except Ding Yin put down their weapons and walked towards Taiping County with their hands raised high.

"Ding Yin, aren't you going to surrender?" Jiang Yuan stood on the city wall and spoke slowly.

"Hmph! Come on, even if I die in battle with honor, I will never surrender!" Ding Yin tightly grasped the sword in his hand and assumed a fighting stance.

"Sir, let me do it!" Kong Xuan said eagerly.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then waved to Zhao Kai and Wang Jue, "You three, come together."

Kong Xuan curled his lips and looked at Jiang Yuan with some displeasure: "Sir, I am enough alone, but you sent three people. You think too highly of him."

"Stop talking nonsense and capture him alive. If I keep this guy in my hands, I can sell him to Prince Zhao for a high price." Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up.

He was not afraid at all that Prince Zhao would not redeem Ding Yin. If he abandoned even such a loyal person, what would the others around Prince Zhao think?

"I understand, sir!"

The three men responded, drew their weapons, ran down the city wall, and rushed out from the side gate.

"Ding Yin! Surrender!" Zhao Kai rushed up second with a grim smile. The reason he didn't get the first place was simply because Wang Jue never said harsh words before a fight.

Even though Ding Yin's strength had dropped a lot after being hungry for a day, Jiang Yuan's order was to capture him alive, so Zhao Kai and the other two were inevitably a little restrained and could only fight in turns, looking for opportunities.

Just as Jiang Yuan was watching the four people fighting below with great interest, a cough suddenly sounded behind him.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Jiang Yuan immediately turned around, and Mo Wentian, who suffered from asthma, appeared behind him at some point.

"Senior Mo, why did you come out?" Jiang Yuan smiled and walked forward to hold the other person's arm.

Mo Wentian looked at the four people below and smiled, "We've been living in peace for too long. I heard there's a war going on here, so I came to take a look."

"It's all over, there's nothing to see. How about I call you old man next time?" Jiang Yuan said softly.

Mo Wentian shook his head and pointed downwards: "No need. The fight isn't over yet. But I see you want to capture him alive?"

Jiang Yuan nodded. Anyone with a little martial arts background could see that Zhao Kai and the other two had no intention of killing Ding Yin, otherwise Ding Yin would not have been able to hold on until now.

"That's right, this guy should be able to fetch some price in front of his master." Jiang Yuan said.

Mo Wentian smiled, then calmly drew out the sword from Long Guangxian who was standing beside him.

"Why bother with so much trouble?"

As he spoke, Mo Wentian lightly stepped forward and jumped onto the city wall. A stream of sword energy shot up into the sky, and then suddenly pointed towards Ding Yin below.

A materialized white sword energy visible to the naked eye rushed towards Ding Yin like lightning. At this moment, Ding Yin sadly discovered that he had clearly seen the sword energy, but could not avoid it!

Yes, it was so fast that Ding Yin could only see it but had no time to make any dodging gesture.

"boom!"

Ding Yin's body flew up directly and then fell heavily to the ground.

When Jiang Yuan saw clearly, he was stunned. The armor worn by Ding Yin, who was lying on the ground, was cut open, but there was no blood on his body. At this time, Ding Yin was lying on the ground motionless like a dead person.

"The acupoints will naturally be unblocked in half an hour." As Mo Wentian spoke, he returned the sword in his hand to Long Guangxian, turned around and walked down the stairs slowly step by step.

Jiang Yuan and Long Guangxian were both stunned. Wow! A sword could pierce armor without hurting the body. His control over sword energy must be divine.

"Lord Jiang, Taiping County is truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere." Long Guangxian exclaimed sincerely.

This kind of strength is really hard to deny. Even though his own strength is close to the fifth level, Long Guangxian has no confidence at all that he can take on that sword energy.

At this moment, a loud shout rang in the ears of many people in Taiping County.

"Where is the master?"

Jiang Yuan's face lit up with joy. It was Jiang Pingyang who came. Ever since this old guy escorted him back last time, he had been living off the fat of Taiping County. Plus, Lao Bai and the others had settled down in Taiping County, so this guy had no intention of leaving.

Sure enough, the next moment, Jiang Pingyang appeared in front of Jiang Yuan. He spoke to Jiang Yuan without any hesitation:

"Boy, I just saw a sword energy rising into the sky, and it actually has some of my style. Where is this person now?"

"Senior, you are not too competitive and want to challenge someone to a duel, right?" Jiang Yuan asked with some concern. Although Mo Wentian is very strong, Jiang Pingyang is not someone who can be easily dealt with.

What's more, Mo Wentiantian suffers from asthma. If he really fights with Jiang Pingyang and something unexpected happens, it will be bad.

"Don't worry, I will at most explain the sword principles to him, and I will never take action." Jiang Pingyang said lightly.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan felt relieved. He pointed in the direction Mo Wentian had left and said, "Senior Mo is right here..."

Jiang Yuan shut up halfway through his words. He could no longer see the figure of Mo Wentian slowly walking down the stairs.

"Hmm? You left here without even me noticing, that's interesting!" Jiang Pingyang nodded and said, his figure then disappeared in front of everyone.

At the same time, in Li Canglan's courtyard, Mo Wentian was breathing heavily.

Li Canglan sighed and poured him a cup of tea. Mo Wentian's instant disappearance just now was obviously his doing.

"Lao Mo, I told you not to do anything, why didn't you listen? What's the condition of your body? If you really want to fight with others, you will die before they can do anything." Li Yanyu lectured from the side.

Jiang Qiao nodded in agreement, "That's right, Lao Mo, don't take action. We have other experts here."

After a violent coughing fit, Mo Wentian remained calm and looked at the few people with a flushed face.

"You don't know, I went big this time! It's worth it!"
