The next afternoon, a piece of news spread throughout the county city!

The bandit army of Tengya Mountain came out in full force and was rushing towards the county city with great momentum!

There was going to be a war!

This news was like a thunderclap, and it completely exploded in the county city.

How long has it been since the war broke out in Donglai County City?

Twenty years? Or thirty years?

For the young generation of Song Changming, it can be said that they have been living in a peaceful era since they were born.

No matter how the situation changes outside, this county city is absolutely safe.

Today, this peace seems to be broken.

"Have those bandits gone mad? Attacking the county town can be considered a rebellion!"

"I've said it before, I won't let anyone sleep beside me. If the bandits in Tengya Mountain are not eliminated, there will be endless troubles!"

"I really don't know what our county governor is thinking. Why have he done nothing all these years and let the bandits stay there!"

"I heard from the caravans that escaped along the way that the bandits were huge in number, so scary! Do you think our county town will fall?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! No matter how powerful the bandits are, they are just bandits. How can they compete with the county governor's regular army? Don't worry, the bandits will come down the mountain like wild cats without tiger skins. They are just here to die."

"God bless you, don't let the bandits get in."

For a while, people in the city were in a panic.

Even Song's father and mother were worried in Song's house.

Zhao Huaiming brought his third sister Song Yu to find Song Changming and wanted to verify the matter.

In their opinion, Song Changming, who worked in the General Security Department, must know more than them.

"Don't worry, the walls of the county city are so tall and solid, the bandit army can't get in." Song Changming comforted his family.

In fact, he also felt that the bandit army couldn't get in.

After all, the soldiers of Donglai County were not vegetarians. How could such a large county city be broken?

He was just worried that there were other crises hidden in the dark, and if they cooperated with the bandit army tonight, that would be an unknown and difficult variable.

The bandit army alone could not break the city, but with other variables, it would be hard to say.

Song's father and mother were relieved after listening to what Song Changming said.

Then Song Changming told the two elders not to leave the house, and asked Zhao Huaiming to take the patrol team to take care of the alley where the Song residence was tonight, and then hurried back to the General Security Department.

The war is about to start. Although their patrol team does not need to go to the battlefield, they have other tasks to do.

The patrol team in the urban area should cooperate with the county governor's office to appease the people as much as possible and suppress the signs of chaos.

The patrol team of the general office needs to draw a part of the palace soldiers to cooperate with the county governor's office to guard inside and outside the county governor's office.

Song Changming was transferred to the Xiao Mansion alone to be responsible for the safety of the fourth lady of the Xiao family.

Xie Shihuan couldn't say anything about this, after all, the other party was the county governor's youngest daughter.

He would try his best to meet the other party's requests if he could agree.

At dusk, when the last ray of sunset faded, there was a movement outside the city.

It was like the sound of thousands of horses galloping, and the overwhelming shouts and cheers, intertwined with the sound of horns and drums.

Many people in the city could hear it.

In the Xiao Mansion, in a beautiful courtyard.

Song Changming leaned against a rockery not far away with his arms folded across his chest, carrying a dragon-patterned sword on his back and wearing a set of armor that was not bulky, but rather thin and fitted to his body, just to minimize the impact on his movements and agility.

In addition, he had discarded the helmets and hats that ordinary patrol guards wore.

Although the helmets and hats could protect the head from critical hits, they would also hinder the spread of his five senses, which was a limitation on his strength.

When his strength reached a certain level, he gradually understood why the great heroes and masters in the martial arts world were all lightly equipped, with only a sword and a cloth.

Now he more or less understood the reason.

For the strong, many protective gears were just a burden.

When a body of flesh, blood, tendons and bones were tempered to the extreme, it was already copper-skinned, iron-boned and indestructible, so why would it need other external protection.

Tonight, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the starlight was dim and hazy.

This was really a great night for murder and arson.

He could also hear the deafening sound coming from the city in the distance, and the war seemed to have started.

Suddenly, the sound of a piano sounded in the courtyard, the sound of the piano was melodious and beautiful, covering up the chaotic and noisy sound in the distance.

It also soothed the inner irritability of many people in the courtyard.

Song Changming looked at the pavilion not far away.

Several maids stood around the pavilion in the courtyard with lights, and two personal guards, Min'er and Xiu'er, stood on both sides.

In the middle was Xiao Shuyun, sitting in the pavilion and playing the piano alone.

Outside the pavilion, in addition to the patrol team brought by Song Changming, there were many other guards holding weapons.

Most of them were guests recruited by Xiao Shuyun in the past year or so, and some were guards in the Xiao Mansion.

Adding up inside and outside, there were nearly a hundred people protecting Xiao Shuyun tonight alone!

And this was just near the courtyard here. The defense force of the entire huge Xiao Mansion was unknown.

The security was so tight that not even a mouse could get in.

While smoke was rising outside the city, the county governor's mansion in the city also welcomed a group of invaders.

They quietly broke into the room where the second-rank official lived before, but they did not see the distinguished guest of the county governor's mansion as they wished.

The room was empty, even the mattress of the big bed was neatly folded, with no signs of habitation.

"Shoot!"

Fires suddenly lit up everywhere outside the house, and rockets shot into the house through the windows and door gaps.

The rockets ignited the room and the large amount of kerosene on the wall, and a huge fire broke out.

"We've been tricked!"

The invaders also realized that the situation was not good at the first time. One of them slapped the door of the house with a big hand like a palm leaf fan.

The whole door was smashed in an instant, and everyone showed their magical powers, rushed out of the fire room facing the piles of rockets, and fell into the courtyard outside the house, surrounded by a group of soldiers.

There were also many long-range archers with crossbows and arrows on the outer layer.

In addition, there were many martial arts masters sitting in the county governor's mansion, standing at the forefront of the encirclement, staring at the invaders in front of them.

"Nine Extreme Sword Mo Xingyun, Liu Zheng of Giant Whale Sect, Lu Yanliang of Golden Sword Sect, and the masters who have left from Floating Flower Sect and Blood Transformation Sect.

Today is really lively. What are you doing here tonight? Who on earth has such a big face that can invite you masters who have been famous in the martial arts world for a long time to come together!"

The retainer sitting in the county governor's mansion said coldly.

"Bah, you are willing to be the running dogs of the government, you really deserve to die!" Liu Zheng spitted and mocked these martial arts retainers in the county governor's mansion.

A retainer laughed and said, "You are all people who have abandoned your sect and your adoptive parents. How dare you bark here."

"Kill!"

The more than ten martial arts masters who came did not say much and scolded each other. They looked at each other and rushed out one after another, seemingly trying to break through.

"Everyone, since you are here, please stay!"

The government servants came out. They were all famous masters with extraordinary strength in the martial arts world before, but later they joined the government and rarely participated in the affairs of the martial arts world.

The two sides started fighting, and the sand and stones flew in the courtyard, and the wind was strong.

"So strong!" Zhou Sixin looked at the martial arts masters from various sects fighting in the field, and felt the pressure doubled.

With his vision, he could only barely judge that the body training of these martial arts masters was at least above the level of the fifth realm.

He was not confident that he could block three moves from any one of them.

Even Lu Zheng on the side frowned and looked solemn. Obviously, even he felt the pressure.

It must be said that the martial arts world is very big, and these famous masters are all powerful characters.

Now, in order to assassinate the second-rank official, so many masters have been recruited to cooperate. This scene is indeed exaggerated.

And being able to invite so many martial arts masters, the power of the person behind the scenes is indeed extraordinary.

"Hmph, no matter how powerful the martial arts masters are, they all came without return this time!" Xiao Jingchuan and a group of civil servants stood outside the encirclement and said coldly.

Ji Xuechang, the county magistrate on the side, frowned and bowed to Xiao Jingchuan, saying: "Sir, none of these martial arts people are panicked, and they are also able to compete with your retainers, and they don't seem to be in a hurry to leave."

Xiao Jingchuan also saw some clues after being told by the people around him.

"If so." Ji Xuechang hesitated.

"Impossible, how could they know where I placed Lord Li. Shihuan, go and have a look!" Xiao Jingchuan was still a little worried at the end, and said to Xie Shihuan.

Xie Shihuan nodded, turned and left the county governor's mansion, took his ten personal guards, got on the horse and left quickly.

All the way to the Xiao Mansion, passed through the layers of heavily guarded guards, and came to a side courtyard of the Xiao Mansion.

In the courtyard, a man sat alone, drinking tea and appreciating flowers.

This man was the second-rank official who had stayed in the county governor's mansion before, Li Zhe.

When Li Zhe saw Xie Shihuan coming in a hurry, he put down the jade cup and sighed.

"General Xie, I've fallen into a trap."

Xie Shihuan was stunned when he heard the words, and then he quickly reacted and his face changed drastically.

"Yes, thank you for leading the way." Three figures flipped over the roof of the courtyard and floated in.

One person wore heavy black iron armor and carried a sawtooth broadsword on his shoulder. Another person's clothes were half unbuttoned and he held a long sword in his hand.

The third person was dressed in gray shorts, with a black scarf tied on his head and a long stick inserted behind his waist.

Xie Shihuan was very regretful. He should have thought that the other party had no idea where Li Zhe was before, and should have been more anxious than them.

But now a trick of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west made them all unable to sit still.

He came to confirm Li Zhe's safety at this time, which was tantamount to actively exposing Li Zhe to the enemy.

And in fact, it was the case.

"If I'm not mistaken, you three are the three dragons of Dongcang back then." Li Zhe glanced at the three people who fell into the courtyard. He didn't look panicked, but just calmly stated the identities of the three people.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people who remember us." Jiang Kan put down the sawtooth big knife on his shoulder and looked at Li Zhe.

"Since you still remember our name, I will leave you a whole body today." Luo Haolin smiled, flicked his wrist, and the long sword circled in his palm.

"It is rumored that the blood dragon eats blood. How can it let me go so easily today?" Li Zhe said lightly.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. Now I have given up this bad habit and changed from eating blood to drinking. Don't worry, I won't torture you before you die." Luo Haolin grinned and didn't care.

"Why bother to talk to him, just kill him, and it would be best if you can take his body back." Xu Dabao, who had a black scarf on his head, said, and planned to take action first.

As for Xie Shihuan, he didn't take a mere general director of the city seriously.
