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

In the hall, Ning Fei looked at Jiang Yuan with cold eyes after hearing what he heard.

But fortunately, there were too many people rushing in, and several masters attacked Ning Fei fiercely, so he couldn't get away for a while.

"Sir! I'm coming!"

Li Hu shouted and ran quickly from the side door with Zhou Mingyuan. Before they reached Chen Liu, Zhou Mingyuan shook his head and sighed. Although you may not be able to see it, but who is he? He is the magic doctor with ghost hands. He can tell whether a person is alive or dead at a glance.

"Boy, I'm afraid this man is dead." Zhou Mingyuan said while shaking his head.

"I know." Jiang Yuan said in a low voice. With Chen Liu's injuries like this, even if Zhou Mingyuan was right in front of him, it would probably be difficult to save him. Ning Fei's attack was really too terrifying.

Li Hu quickly picked up Chen Liu's body and said, "Sir, we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's evacuate first."

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly. With the strength of the three of them, if they really met Ning Fei, there would be absolutely no way for them to survive. Instead of letting others restrict their movements here, it would be better to think about it before going out.

When the three of them ran out of the side door, they saw a group of strong men rushing towards them.

"Lord City Lord, what's going on? Didn't you say you were here to have dinner? Why is there a fight in the hall?" Fire Dragon asked hurriedly.

"Ning Fei has rushed in, Zhao Kai and the others have already taken action, you all come together and make sure to keep Ning Fei!" Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth.

When Huolong and his group rushed into the hall, the battle inside had reached a fever pitch. More than a dozen bodies were lying on the spot. Spies and guards kept rushing in from the main door and side doors of the hall.

Ning Fei, who was in the center, was wielding a spear with great force, and no one could break through his defense.

"Come together! Kill him!"

The fire dragon roared, drew out the crescent moon scimitar he carried with him, and was the first to join the battlefield.

Soon, as ten barbarian leaders joined the battlefield, Ning Fei felt tremendous pressure.

These guys are either in the fourth or fifth realm. If it is a one-on-one fight, he can kill them instantly.

But in this situation where he was under siege, he simply couldn't use his full strength. He understood the principle that when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

"Get out of my way!" Ning Fei swept his spear across to force several people back, then turned and ran out of the hall.

At the same time, soldiers and detectives patrolling the streets came from all directions and surrounded Ning Fei again. Countless spies hid in the dark, and sleeve arrows and crossbow arrows flew out from time to time.

In a room in the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Yuan still didn't give up and asked Zhou Mingyuan to check Chen Liu again.

"There is no hope. His pulse has stopped and he has lost too much blood. Unless a god descends, he may be able to be saved, but I really can't do anything." Zhou Mingyuan sighed.

Jiang Yuan's face was cold, and he finally lowered his head as he looked at Chen Liu.

If it weren't for saving himself, with Chen Liu's strength, he could have held out for a while even in a head-on confrontation with Ning Fei.

At that moment, if Chen Liu had not used his chest to block Ning Fei's spear for him, his fate would definitely be worse than Chen Liu's. He would probably die without even having time to leave his last words.

"Old Chen, I've remembered what you said."

Jiang Yuan reached out and closed Chen Liu's eyes, then stood up and looked at Li Hu: "Go and notify all the troops in the city, close the city gates, and mobilize everyone to kill Ning Fei at all costs!"

"Yes!" Li Hu turned around and left with murderous intent.

It's not just Jiang Yuan who has feelings for Chenliu. Even Li Hu, Zhao Kai, and Wang Gang have never been to the East Factory after becoming emperor.

This kind of person eats and drinks for free in the East Factory and takes away a large number of gifts before leaving.

Now that the other party has died in front of me, how can I not take revenge!

In a blink of an eye, the originally quiet and peaceful Taiping County was shrouded in swords and shadows, and countless people holding torches searched the city for Ning Fei's whereabouts.

Jiang Yuan sat on the doorstep in a daze, waiting for news.

Before they knew it, it was already bright outside. Qin Tianzhu, Zhao Kai and others appeared in front of Jiang Yuan with their heads down.

"Sir, we..." Zhao Kai said halfway and shook his head.

Qin Tianzhu held a broken spear in his hand and said, "Sir, we didn't catch him. He ran too fast. We were really powerless to stop him."

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but clench his fists. Almost the entire Taiping County army was mobilized, and so many masters were dispatched, but they couldn't catch Ning Fei!

Is Ning Fei really still a human being?

Is the gap between the sixth realm and the fifth realm really that big?

"Sir, we really have no choice. Although there are many of us, we can't chase them separately." Kong Xuan said.

Jiang Yuan nodded and stood up. He did not blame everyone for their thoughts. After all, Ning Fei was a master of the sixth realm. Zhao Kai, Wang Gang, Kong Xuan and others could still besiege him together.

If they chase him separately, not to mention whether they can catch up or not, even if they do, they will be killed instantly if they face Ning Fei alone.

"You guys go back and rest first."

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and continued to sit on the doorstep, showing no intention of getting up.

Seeing this, several people could only sigh and turn away.

-

Seven days have passed since the siege on Ning Fei ended with his escape.

On this day, countless figures in mourning appeared in the barren mountains of Taiping County.

Huangshan is the only remaining mountain range near Taiping County. It is where the remains of many elderly people from Taiping County and soldiers who died in previous wars are buried.

Of course, the barren mountains are limited after all. Those who can still be buried here are either soldiers who died bravely fighting the enemy or those who made outstanding contributions to Taiping County.

All the soldiers in Taiping County either dream of beheading the generals and seizing the flags, being the first to charge into battle, and living a life of wealth and glory, or of being buried here after their death.

In front of the new grave, Jiang Yuan bowed deeply towards the grave.

"Old Chen, I can never repay you for saving my life."

"But I, Jiang Yuan, promise again that I will definitely complete whatever you ask me to do!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan threw a handful of paper money into the sky, then turned around and looked behind him.

Not many people can come here, all of them are core members of Taiping County. As for the foot of the barren mountain, there are more people standing here, and it is so crowded that you can't see the end of the crowd. Except for some soldiers who stayed behind to guard the city, basically everyone who can come has come to Taiping County.

"The previous emperor passed away, and the young emperor ascended the throne. Ning Fei took the opportunity to wreak havoc on the Central Plains, causing chaos throughout the country."

"The late emperor bestowed upon me a manhood, and the young emperor bestowed upon me a title. He knew I commanded an army of over a hundred thousand men, and he treated me well without suspicion."

"Now Chen Liu has died saving me. If I don't avenge this, it would be unjust. Now that we are men, we must recover our country!"

"Pass on my military order. Three days from now! The army will march north from Taiping County and follow me into the imperial capital to suppress the bandits!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Suppress thieves! Suppress thieves!"

An overwhelming sound rang out, and countless soldiers waved their spears, and the sound was so loud that the clouds in the sky disappeared.

Millions of soldiers and horses, this is a force that is enough to change the world!

Jiang Yuan turned around again and looked at Chen Liu. It was said that the seventh day after a person's death was the night of the soul's return. If Chen Liu's soul could really appear here and see this scene, I wonder if he would grin.

In the blink of an eye, three days later, at the gate of Taiping County.

Jiang Yuan, standing on the city wall, looked at the army below the city, which seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. This time, the entire wealth of Taiping County had been emptied.

The ten major barbarian tribes each sent out 50,000 troops, totaling 500,000.

Among these 500,000 people, there were 200,000 cavalry, 200,000 infantry, and 100,000 engineers.

Even though the barbarians only sent out half the number of troops, the combat effectiveness of these 500,000 people was much stronger than the million cavalrymen who besieged Taiping County.

First, the armor. Although it is impossible for all 500,000 people to wear armor, the most elite cavalry cannot escape wearing full body light armor. Although the rest cannot wear full armor, they still have iron plates on vital parts.

In addition to the 500,000 barbarian troops, there are also 200,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry in Taiping County. Don't underestimate these 3,000 cavalry.

They were covered in heavy armor, and they were called Iron Pagodas. There were three thousand Iron Pagodas, and both the men and the horses were armored. Jiang Yuan couldn't remember how much silver these three thousand people had consumed, but this was still not the cruelest thing!

After four years of development, the artillery developed by brothers Chen Xudong and Chen Xuming has already begun mass production, and artillery was born.

In addition, there are some special types of troops, which number from three to five thousand to a few hundred people, but in terms of combat effectiveness alone, they can easily wipe out troops that are ten times their own strength.

"Sir, the food and fodder for this expedition have already been sent ahead." Ma Zhi said with a haggard face.

For the past three days, the entire Taiping County has been preparing for war, but the one who is most tired is undoubtedly Ma Zhi.

Ma Zhi was responsible for mobilizing money and grain, organizing personnel to transport grain, and allocating resources.

Jiang Yuan nodded towards Ma Zhi and patted his shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work over the years."

"Adults still have a harder time." Ma Zhi shook his head. Many years have passed, and Ma Zhi has entered middle age. He has been in a high position for many years, which has completely eliminated the vulgar temperament in him.

Just then, Zhao Kai and several others came over.

"Sir, it's autumn now and the weather is cold. We still have to go out to fight. Please put on this robe to keep out the wind." Zhao Kai and Kong Xuan said as they were about to put a yellow robe on Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan quickly raised his hand and said, "Damn it! Opening champagne at halftime has been a taboo since ancient times!"

"No need, just keep this robe and we'll talk about it later!" Jiang Yuan spoke decisively, then waved his hand, and walked down the city wall with a group of people, jumped on their horses, and drew the long sword at his waist.

This long sword originally belonged to Duanmu Yuanchen, was later given to Chenliu, and now it is in Jiang Yuan's hands.

"All soldiers, listen up! Move forward!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Listening to the deafening shouts around them, Jiang Yuan led a group of people out from the city gate. It took them half an hour to reach the front of the team.

Millions of troops followed silently behind him.

From this day on, the name of Taiping County will resound throughout the world.
