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

In front of the army, Zhao Junxuan frowned and looked forward.

The mountains are endless, and all the trees on top have been cut down. The few intersections have been built with barricades, and the road surface is full of potholes, like a huge meat grinder.

There were many logs and huge rocks on the mountain, which meant that the people from Taiping County who were lying in ambush above had countless defensive weapons such as rolling logs.

Moreover, they were in a dominant position. To break through such a section of road, it would be difficult without the sacrifice of 20,000 people.

This is nothing. The most important thing is that the army led by Chen Liu is following behind, and they will be bitten if they are not careful.

If Chen Liu from behind catches up with us while we are dealing with the people in Taiping County, we will be dead.

"Your Highness, I see there are about 10,000 people on the mountain ahead. It seems we can give it a try." Jiazi looked ahead with cold eyes.

Were these guys the ones who caused Ding Yin and Xin Wu to fall into trouble?

Well then, I will wash away the previous shame of the two of them!

"That's not what I'm afraid of. Chenliu is getting closer and closer. Let's talk to someone first. I know Jiang Yuan from Taiping County a little bit. He's a greedy and lustful person, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Besides, our trip is not to conflict with Taiping County. We just want to enter the grassland. As long as Jiang Yuan is not stupid, he will not fight us to the death." Zhao Junxuan spoke slowly.

"How about this, call Yang Tai over."

Yang Tai, the number one lobbyist under Zhao Junxuan, was the one who persuaded Bai Liantian to agree to come out of seclusion to assist him.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Jiazi nodded and waved behind him.

A moment later, Yang Tai hurried to Zhao Junxuan holding an ancient book.

"Your Highness, I have heard about this matter. I am willing to go to the enemy camp and act as a lobbyist."

"Okay, thank you for your help. However, I'm sure you're well aware of the situation. The Daduan army is on the way behind us. I can only give you a cup of tea at most." (15 minutes)

Yang Tai chuckled and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness. A cup of tea is enough."

After saying that, Jiazi quickly waved his hand and called a few soldiers to walk forward with him.

When they reached the center of the buffer zone between the two sides, Yang Tai waved his sleeves and said, "Just wait here."

Jiang Yuan, standing on the top of the mountain and watching the other party coming, clearly showed a smile.

Zhao Kai leaned forward slyly and said, "Sir, do you want me to chop him off?"

"What are you going to chop? You?" Jiang Yuan asked unhappily.

Zhao Kai chuckled and took two steps back: "How could that be possible, sir? Where else can you find such obedient men if you kill me? I said to kill the guy who was walking towards us."

"Yes, sir, I am here to serve you this time!" Kong Xuan said quickly.

Ever since Zhao Kai shot and killed the local envoy with an arrow between the two armies last time, he was directly promoted to general. With such an example in front of them, everyone was eager to try and looked at Yang Tai who was walking towards them.

"Don't move!" Jiang Yuan spoke quickly, fearing that someone would kill this guy directly.

"Sir, why? We can't live in peace with them anyway, so we might as well just kill them and be done with it." Kong Xuan asked.

Jiang Yuan looked at Kong Xuan with a dark face: "You know nothing!"

"Let this guy come over to negotiate. Can we at least delay him for a while?"

"What does this mean? It means our soldiers can spend less time fighting the rebels. How many lives can be saved by this time?"

"Kill him, and you'll go and hold off the rebels for a cup of tea?"

Kong Xuan smiled awkwardly and touched the long sword at his waist: "Forget it, let's keep this guy alive for a while."

After a while, led by two soldiers from Taiping County, Yang Tai slowly came in front of the crowd. He glanced at several people and finally fixed his eyes on Long Guangxian.

"My name is Yang Tai, nice to meet General Long and everyone else."

Long Guangxian's expression changed. What the hell does this mean?

Are you singling yourself out because you think you have the highest status and are in a leadership position among these people?

Is this a joke? Although I am a general, these guys are at least lieutenant generals!

There are three generals, and as for Jiang Yuan, he has even reached the super-class viscount. Does this guy really not know or does he sincerely want to trick him?

Thinking of this, Long Guangxian quickly said in a deep voice: "Yang Tai, you might be..."

"Oh, it's Envoy Yang."

Before Long Guangxian could say anything, Jiang Yuan stood up with a smile, and waved his hands behind his back quickly a few times, signaling Long Guangxian not to speak.

"Who is this?" Yang Tai looked at Jiang Yuan with a calm expression.

"Oh, I'm not well-known, so I won't embarrass myself by saying it." Jiang Yuan continued.

Yang Tai forced a smile and then looked at Long Guangxian: "General Long, can we find a quiet place to talk in detail?"

Long Guangxian looked quite unnatural: "Mr. Yang, if you have something to say, we can just talk directly."

Zhao Kai and the others all looked at Yang Tai with a half-smile on their faces. This old Deng really didn't know what was good for him.

Long Guangxian is the one who has the final say in Caiyun City, but in Taiping County, there is only one absolute leader.

Just as Yang Tai was preparing to speak, Jiang Yuan on the side said directly: "Hey, General Long, we are guests. How can you not meet our guests' demands?"

"And you guys, you don't even know how to greet the guests when you see them. Why are you so stingy? You're standing here like a wooden stake. What do you want to do? Are you trying to scare people?"

"All of you step back. Uh, General Long, I didn't say anything to you. Come back." Jiang Yuan hurriedly called out to Long Guangxian who had already retreated a few steps.

When Yang Tai saw this scene, his pupils couldn't help but shrink. What was going on?

Who is this young man? Long Guangxian actually obeyed his orders.

This doesn't make sense. Even if this guy is the so-called Taiping County Magistrate Jiang Yuan, a county magistrate is at most a seventh-rank official. There is no way he can give orders to Long Guangxian.

"Go and bring a table over, and also, bring some tea."

After a while, all the tables and tea were moved over and placed directly on the top of the mountain, so that Zhao Junxuan and others in the distance could see them clearly.

At Jiang Yuan's suggestion, Long Guangxian sat opposite Yang Tai.

"Have some tea, please." Jiang Yuan happily poured tea for the two of them.

Long Guangxian sat in the chair awkwardly and at a loss. Jiang Yuan was a viscount, much higher in rank than himself, so he felt a little uneasy.

Yang Tai calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, thinking that these guys would not do anything in public.

"General Long, let's make this short."

"We have 200,000 elite soldiers and generals right behind us, and I see your army is only 10,000 strong. How can you resist?"

"My master is kindhearted and cannot bear to see you lose your lives in vain. How about this: you clear the way and we can become friends. Since ancient times, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. I'm sure General Long doesn't want to have another enemy."

Long Guangxian subconsciously looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan smiled and looked towards where Zhao Junxuan was. "Yang Tai, let me ask you, where are you going from here?"

What Yang Tai didn't notice was that when he asked this question, Jiang Yuan's eyes already revealed murderous intent.

Regardless of whether these rebels wanted to attack Taiping County or hide in these mountains, Jiang Yuan would not agree!
