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

Chen Liu stared at Jiang Yuan, trying to find a flaw on his face.

But how is this possible? They are all old foxes. How could Jiang Yuan feel guilty at this time?

"Old Chen, just say it directly. There's no need to test me." Jiang Yuan said calmly.

"Hey, Lao Jiang, you are really stubborn and stubborn, like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, and you won't cry until you see the coffin!" Chen Liu stretched out his hand and scolded him, then said confidently.

"Old Jiang, when I was investigating the Yang family case, I made a strange discovery."

"What discovery?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Chen Liu smiled and a twisted iron piece appeared in his hand. "It's this kind of iron piece. Many pieces of iron are inlaid in the wood of the Yang Family Ancestral Hall."

"What does this have to do with me? There are iron sheets everywhere." Jiang Yuan said disapprovingly.

Chen Liu shook his head helplessly: "A few months ago, during Zhao Junxuan's last battle, after you left, I also found a lot of these iron pieces at the scene."

"Are you saying this has nothing to do with you?"

"That's not the case. Since you found the iron piece, maybe it was used by Zhao Junxuan. In this case, the Yang family case was also committed by Zhao Junxuan."

Even with overwhelming evidence, Jiang Yuan still had a stern expression.

I don’t care what you found out. I have an alibi and I will never admit it.

Who doesn’t know the classic saying: Confess and be lenient, spend the rest of your life in prison, resist and be strict, and go home for the New Year.

"You really don't admit it?"

“I never did!”

"Are you sure you still won't admit it even though the evidence is right in front of you?"

"I've already said it, I didn't do it, of course I don't admit it!"

After the two of them stared at each other for a while, Chen Liu's expression suddenly changed.

"Hey, Lao Jiang, if you don't want to admit it, then don't admit it. Even if you do admit it, so what? We're brothers, so what?"

"Besides, the Yang family has already fallen, so it's okay even if you admit it."

Jiang Yuan still shook his head: "I haven't done it, I can't admit it."

"Oh, I'm being too formal. We are all family. This isn't my main reason for coming here." Chen Liu said awkwardly.

Jiang Yuan couldn't bear it any longer and slapped him.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

After being slapped, Chen Liu didn't mind at all and came over shamelessly: "Old Jiang, I have already asked those soldiers who surrendered to Zhao Junxuan."

"They say you can summon thunder that strikes from the blue and spreads a swathe of debris, and hellfire that burns incessantly."

"Did you bring anything worth hundreds or even hundreds of thousands of dollars this time?"

As he spoke, Chen Liu looked at Jiang Yuan with anticipation.

After all, according to the surrendered soldiers, this thing is simply a miracle. If they didn't rush forward, they would die, and they would have run away long ago.

If this thing is produced in large quantities and used to deal with Ning Fei, it will definitely be a powerful weapon!

Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Damn it! He had been hiding it for so long, but it was finally exposed.

"Old Chen, I'm telling you the truth, I really don't have this thing. Those guys who surrendered are already crazy, how could they have such an outrageous thing?"

"The fire was actually kerosene, and the weather was dry at the time, so it was impossible to put out."

"As for the iron piece, that thing is a hidden weapon, and there is only one senior in Taiping County who knows how to use it. Even if an ordinary person practices for ten years, he can only get the basics. Even if I ask that senior to come here to teach, it will be too late." Jiang Yuan said helplessly.

"What?" Chen Liu was dumbfounded. What he had placed high hopes on turned out to be in vain.

"So that's how it is. I was so happy for nothing."

Jiang Yuan patted Chen Liu's shoulder and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't we still control the ten states? Even if we fight Ning Fei, the worst-case scenario is that both sides will suffer losses."

Chen Liu lowered his head in despair: "I followed the late emperor to conquer this country. How can I bear to watch it being torn in two?"

"It's too early to think about these things now. The fight hasn't even started yet. Why are you saying discouraging words?" Jiang Yuan began to comfort him.

After Chen Liu left, Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and sat on the chair with a headache.

As for this war, he didn't want Ning Fei to win, otherwise he would seek settlement with Taiping County sooner or later.

But Ning Fei cannot be allowed to lose, otherwise Duanmu Yuanchen may have some ideas.

Only if both sides maintain this stalemate will it be the most beneficial situation for Taiping County.

Taiping County only needs to hold on for two years. After the thorny grass on the grassland completely occupies the grassland and all the millions of barbarian soldiers surrender, Jiang Yuan will not be afraid no matter how fierce the fighting outside is.

But it’s not possible now, the two sides must remain in a stalemate.

Judging from the current situation, the number of troops facing each other is about 400,000 to less than 200,000.

It seems that Daduan has the advantage, but in fact it is not the case. Don't forget that Ning Fei still has 200,000 border troops on the way. Once this reinforcement arrives, Ning Fei will definitely launch an offensive.

Although reinforcements continued to arrive from Daduan, the situation was still unfavorable. The main reason was that the 200,000 border troops were too powerful.

What made Jiang Yuan even more worried was the coaches of both teams. How old was Ning Fei? He was at most thirty years old, which was the prime time of his youth and strength, not to mention that he was also a sixth-level master.

Mu Songfeng was almost unable to walk. The gap was too big.

Just as Jiang Yuan was thinking about this, Li Hu rushed over excitedly.

"My Lord, my Lord, a fight has broken out. It's getting really lively!"

"What's going on?" Jiang Yuan asked in confusion.

Li Hu pointed across and said, "Ning Fei sent someone out to challenge us. That city defense leader we met in the imperial capital is out now."

"They've both been fighting for 20 to 30 rounds."

Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up. He had been thinking about one question: if he met Ning Fei on the battlefield in the future, what should he do to deal with him?

If we use a pile of people at all costs, even if thousands of people die, we can definitely capture Ning Fei. Of course, this is assuming that the opponent does not fight to the death.

What if Ning Fei just wanted to escape? That would be hard to say.

So, is there any way to kill Ning Fei with one blow?

Yes, a missile can definitely do it, but Taiping County cannot produce that thing at the moment, so Jiang Yuan’s current hope lies in the spear in his hand that has been improved by Chen Xudong.

"Li Hu, take me with you and let's sneak out quietly." Jiang Yuan said with his spear on his back.

Li Hu looked a little embarrassed: "Brother, there are people everywhere outside. It's not difficult for the two of us to go out, but it's hard to say if we can avoid being discovered. After all, it's still broad daylight now."

"That's easy. Let's go out openly and remember to wear a mask."

"Sir, we are out in broad daylight, why are we still wearing masks?" Li Hu looked at Jiang Yuan puzzledly. Is it unnecessary to take off pants just to fart?

Jiang Yuan kicked him.

"You're such a jerk! It's okay if others find out, but if Ning Fei finds out, he'll come after us later, right?"
