When we returned to the Guangning Cheng County Government where the guards temporarily lived, we saw several leading guards receiving the Guangning County Magistrate.

The magistrate of Guangning County, Mr. Wang, looks only in his forties, has a fat body, a bloated face, and is not as quick as a person who is too smart.

Yes, the smart county magistrate who had been colluding with Tian Guinong for a long time, was still packed with dumplings on his way out of office, and he couldn't even run away with the people and money.

If this county magistrate was just as smart, he would not have been in Guangning for so many years.

During the daytime, the guards entered the city without having time to notify him. Afterwards, when the servants of the county government talked, the county magistrate thought that the bandits were entering the city, so they were so panicked that they were about to run away and had no way to ask troops to suppress them.

Although the Jinzhou Prefecture system is only a few dozen miles away from this place and can reach it in just one hour, the county magistrate is considering whether he can escape safely.

If the Qing court were all such incompetent people, it would be much more convenient if Honghua would cause trouble in the future.

At this moment, this wealthy county magistrate is paying respects to all the guards.

Yes, the first-class guards were considered third-rank officials of the court. Four or five people came at once, and dozens of fourth-rank second-rank guards. How could this prevent the little seventh-rank county magistrate from panic?

County Magistrate Wang greeted the emperor and complained to all the guards. It was nothing more than Tianlongmen under Tian Guinong's jurisdiction. The disciples were lax and often harassed their neighbors and did evil in the countryside. He was a small county magistrate who was intent but unable to do anything, and heard that several guards were sleepy.

Xu Yang was stepping into the inner hall at this time. Several guards' eyes lit up, and then they happened to ask County Magistrate Wang to retreat under the name of discussing important matters.

Then several guards looked at Xu Yang with a smile. After these days of getting along, especially after the fierce fight during the day, they all felt that the difference between Xu Yang and Xu Yang was too big in dealing with things, and they vaguely meant that Xu Yang was the only horse.

They also knew about Xu Yang going out tonight, but they didn't know where he went. Now he came here as soon as he came back, obviously he had some solutions.

Just as I was worried that I could not find the treasure knife, and I was not able to catch the suspect, so I couldn't explain it to the higher authorities. When I saw Xu Yang again, it was like a drowning person catching a straw. Regardless of whether he could save himself or not, at least I had some hope.

Xu Yang also smiled and saluted several adults first, then avoided the important things, and said that the purpose of going out tonight was to recruit Tianlongmen. With the help of these local snakes, if you want to find the fields and farmers, the chances should be greatly increased.

"These friends from Tianlong Gate are also constrained by Tian Guinong on weekdays. The superiors and subordinates are effective. They have no choice but to do something that goes against the imperial court's orders, not intentionally." Xu Yang first pleaded for the people of Tianlong Gate, and then changed his tone: "But we can't let these people go. Maybe they have Tian Guinong's confidant, and they have thought of a way to start with Tian Guinong's junior brother Ruan Shizhong. This person is very respectful to the court and has high martial arts skills. If it were before,

We will definitely be passive when we help Tian Guinong, but he was willing to surrender without any move. Obviously, he was loyal and righteous. I suggest that it is better to surrender this person first, and then select other disciples who are loyal to the court through this person. In this way, Tian Guinong's wings were cut off and then others were trying to do other things." Several guards were originally undecided. They only knew to obey orders and did things on weekdays, and they always followed Xu Yang's advice. If Xu Yang said this, they would naturally not have any objections.

So he ordered someone to send Ruan Shizhong.

Ruan Shizhong received Xu Yang's instructions before. As soon as he comforted everyone in the sect, he received a message. He understood that this was the time that Xu Yang said, and he was ordered to come hurriedly.

When he arrived at the back hall of the county government office, he saw several guards and Xu Engong Xu, and Ruan Shizhong stood beside him.

Xu Yang tactfully recounted what he had just expressed, asking Ruan Shizhong to be responsible for rectifying the Northern Sect of Tianlongmen. If someone in the Southern Sect colluded with Tian Guinong, he could still draw the same tricks and also put the Southern Sect under the leadership of the court. He was surprised and happy when he heard it.

I originally thought that this time I was implicated by Tian Guinong, as long as I could get rid of the pain of prison, it would be considered a great blessing.

However, I didn’t expect that Xu Engong actually wanted him to command the entire Tianlong Gate. It was not just the Northern Sect, but the Northern Sect and the Southern Sect were expected to be unified because of this. How could Ruan Shizhong not be happy?

As a leader in unifying the Northern and Southern Sects, Ruan Shizhong would naturally take over as the head of the entire Tianlong Gate.

This is much higher than Ruan Shizhong's greatest dream in his life. In his heart, Xu's Empress is no longer just the benefactor of the entire Tianlong Gate. I'm afraid it's a living Bodhisattva sent to him by God?

In the joy, he didn't even have time to express his gratitude. Xu Yang said again: "Of course, this good thing will not belong to you. You have to do something for the court, and you have to sacrifice some things."

Ruan Shizhong was shocked. It was natural to do things for the court. Even if Xu Engong didn't say it, he understood, but what does it mean to make some sacrifices?

Without waiting for Ruan Shizhong to react, Xu Yang pulled out the sword from the waist of the guard beside him and stabbed Ruan Shizhong in the chest with one sword.

The sword was like thunder, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder at the tip of the sword. Ruan Shizhong was shocked. Could it be that Xu Engong had deceived him before? At this moment, would he want to kill him?

With Ruan Shizhong's martial arts, it is difficult to avoid this sword, but it is not impossible.

From the perspective of Ruan Shizhong, this sword is powerful. Apart from the terrifying momentum and amazing scale, there are nothing else that can be desirable. If two people fight, there are at least seven or eight ways to resist or even counterattack.

However, he dared not hide, nor did he dare to fight back, and he didn't even dare to move.

He understood that his life and the lives of all the members of the Tianlong Gate were on this sword.

If he hid, he might be able to survive at this moment, but then he would face the court and chase endlessly.

At that time, the entire Tianlong Gate will face a catastrophe.

The endings of all the Tianlong Gate people will be even more tragic than before.

Even though the sword had already pierced into his chest and felt the stinging pain from his chest, Ruan Shizhong could only close his eyes in despair.

He didn't know why Xu Yang was so mean to him, and he wanted to give him hope when he was desperate, and to cruelly destroy it when hope was about to come, so that he could feel real despair again.

The imagined death did not come. Although the sword had stabbed his chest, it had never passed through his heart.

On the contrary, Xu Yang shook his wrist and the long sword drew a strange track, tearing open Ruan Shizhong's entire chest and breaking out from the shoulder blades of his right arm.

Ruan Shizhong always used a sword with his right hand, and this sword injury undoubtedly destroyed most of his martial arts.

He was seriously injured, and at least half a year, his right hand would not be able to use the sword.

Xu Yang observed it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, threw the sword back to the previous guard, then took out a box of potions and placed it in Ruan Shizhong's left hand.

"You are very good. If you resisted just now, you will die." Concisely speaking, Xu Yang seemed to have control over everything, and seemed to be arrogant: "I read that right, you are indeed a good man. This is the sacrifice you want to make, use your center and your wounds to exchange for the fire of the entire Tianlong Gate to be reborn."

Ruan Shizhong didn't know what Xu Yang meant. He only knew that his sect had been saved, and this sword was the price he had to pay for embarking on the prosperous road.

This sword is not only my own life, but also for those guards to see.

If I had just had the idea or action of resisting, the guards would certainly not let me live.

It is not the only one who is willing to serve the court in Tianlong Gate.

There will be countless people crazy about future, power, money, and every item.

It seems that my bet is right.

Xu Yang smiled at several guards: "How about this person?"

The leading guard smiled with satisfaction: "It's cruel and smart enough to be so cruel to myself, you can even refuse your life. This person is a cruel character."

With that sword just now, even they almost thought that Xu Yang was going to kill this person.

That sword was so cruel. If it weren't for the end of his wrist turning, it would be a rhythm of breaking his stomach.

Ruan Shizhong could not move such a sword move at all and accept it calmly, which shows that he was definitely not a chess piece buried by Tian Guinong.

This person is available and this person is trustworthy.

Xu Yang turned his head and saw that Ruan Shizhong still had not applied medicine, allowing blood to flow all over the ground, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Why don't you apply medicine?"

Ruan Shizhong held up his spirits and replied: "Without the instructions of his benefactor and the willingness of all the adults, the villain dared not apply medicine."

Xu Yang shook his head: "Since you said you want to use it, you don't have to use this little brain anymore. Apply medicine sooner. If you are too late, you will lose your life. How can you make contributions to the court?"

Ruan Shizhong said he didn't dare and hurriedly applied the golden sore medicine.

This is the best knife wound medicine in the imperial capital Heniantang. It has amazing effect. Almost as soon as it is applied, the bleeding has stopped.

Seeing that Ruan Shizhong had no worries about his life, Xu Yang ordered: "This sword is not a waste of time to stab you. I will arrange for you to be an insider next to Tian Guinong. If he doesn't have any injuries, he will not believe it."

Ruan Shizhong suddenly realized, but was still a little confused: "Tian Guinong has already escaped. The villain really doesn't know where he fled, otherwise he would definitely capture him and send him to all the adults himself."

Xu Yang smiled and said, "Since you are lurking beside him, you naturally know where this person is hiding now. You don't need to worry about this. You should go to the hall to rest and recover from your injuries. You will get up early the next morning. I will tell you where to go."

Ruan Shizhong repeatedly said yes, so naturally someone arranged his rest.

Since he had defected to the court, Xu Yang would certainly not let him go back to live with the Tianlongmenmen again.

If there is any hidden thread among these people about returning to farming, it will ruin the big thing.
