Lin Tongxi felt strange. There was no red dot on the map in his mind, so how could there be an enemy?

He patted Xiaojiu's head, signaling him not to worry.

But... Lin Tongxi also thought of a possibility. After leaving the battle, the map might no longer have red dots for these people.

"Brother Tongxi, if you don't believe me... just listen and believe me." Xiaojiu continued to remind him, his eyes very serious.

Seeing this, Lin Tongxi also became alert and listened attentively to the noise outside the door.

"Is there anything unusual here?"

"Everything is normal except that there is no one here."

"Is there any mechanism or something?"

“I haven’t found it yet.”

"Idiot! Could they just disappear out of thin air? Keep looking!"

"Hey—what are you guys still doing? Do you think there's a secret passage in a small place like this? Stop wasting time! Why don't you search the other rooms?"

Hearing the noise coming from outside, Lin Tongxi realized that something almost happened.

"Thank you, Xiaojiu." After Lin Tongxi said this, he took out the snacks created out of nothing and handed them to Xiaojiu.

…

During the day, Lin Tongxi and others came out of the basement only after confirming that it was safe.

"General Ding, it seems that we are safe now. I will ask Brother Yue to find Lord Gan. Please be patient." Lin Tongxi turned around and said to Ding Yunyi and others.

For safety reasons, it is necessary to send someone who has not been seen by the men in black.

Su Ruoxue and Xiaojiu are too weak, so I don’t feel safe sending them out.

Chen Yunxuan also had to protect his identity and not be recognized by the disciples of Chengtian Academy.

After comprehensive consideration, we can only send Yue Lingyun.

After waiting for several hours, Yue Lingyun finally came back and said that Ding Hanling and Gan Xingfan had both agreed to Lin Tongxi's plan, using an unknown corpse to pretend that Ding Yunyi was dead, and then secretly sending the living Ding Yunyi to General Wen's territory.

Of course, disguise is an essential part of this.

Gan Xingfan sent several sets of clothes so that Lin Tongxi and others, who had been exposed, could disguise themselves as disciples of Chengtian Academy.

Those who were not exposed, such as Chen Yunxuan and Su Ruoxue, disguised themselves as police officers.

In order to better disguise himself, Gan Xingfan even gave small decorations such as beards.

"Tongxi... I didn't expect you to look so funny in disguise! I really can't recognize you. You look like a bandit." Su Ruoxue couldn't help laughing when she saw Lin Tongxi's appearance.

"Enough, enough... You're not much better." Lin Tongxi covered his face and complained about Su Ruoxue.

After a period of disguise, everyone walked out of the mansion through the secret passage, and then were escorted out of the city under Gan Xingfan's arrangement.

"Captain Lin, are you going to Chengtian Academy to pick up something again?" Awei asked while winking at Chen Yunxuan.

"Well, yes, and we have to explain the situation... After all, Lord Ding Yunyi is dead... I don't know how long Lord Gan can serve as the mayor." Chen Yunxuan looked regretful.

"Alas, there's nothing I can do... It's all that Lin Tongxi's fault. He had to play with the cannonballs, not only did he blow himself to death, but he also implicated Lord Ding and Lord Gan." A Wei cursed a few words in front of Lin Tongxi himself.

"..." Lin Tongxi glanced at Ah Wei, changed his tone, and followed the play: "Yes, it's really abominable. It's really causing trouble for the neighbors."

"Okay, let's stop chatting and get going." Chen Yunxuan waved his hand and then led his men out of the city.

Ruihe Town has close ties, so it is not surprising that officials and students from Chengtian Academy are mixed together.

What's more, with the deliberate arrangement of Ding Hanling and Gan Xingfan, this combination is particularly obvious today.

Everyone mounted their horses and galloped towards Chengtian Academy.

…

Finally, they arrived at Chengtian Academy on time and were then escorted to a nearby warship.

"Sir Ding, thank you so much! I will take the exam now! I will escort you from now on." General Wen was the first to greet him.

Ding Yunyi returned the greeting and then walked into the boat.

"General Wen, these are the people I mentioned in the letter. This is Lin Tongxi... and this one is..." Gan Xingfan introduced the four protagonists one by one.

General Wen nodded with satisfaction and commented on the four men: "Indeed, you are all heroes. If there were more people like you, there would be no need to worry about the unrest in Xiangzhou."

"By the way, Xingfan, don't you have something to say to them? You go first." After saying that, General Wen walked away, creating space for several people.

After General Wen left, Gan Xingfan told the others a good news and a bad news.

"Let me tell you the bad news first." Lin Tongxi immediately chose the latter.

"The bad news is... I can't be the mayor." When Gan Xingfan said this bad news, there was a smile on his face, making people unable to believe that this was bad news.

"The good news is that you're going to be promoted?" Lin Tongxi immediately asked back.

"You kid are the worm in my stomach, right? That's right, from now on you have to call me County Magistrate Gan." Gan Xingfan put his hands on his hips and laughed.

Then, he talked about the subsequent arrangements: "I have asked General Wen for merit. He said that he would arrange three paths for you. One is to follow me to Guangyang County and continue to live there. The second is to join the Wen Family Army. The third is to leave one of you in Ruihe Town as the mayor."

"Think about it carefully, the four of you. You don't all have to choose the same path."

Lin Tongxi was shocked. He didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly!

After discussing for a while, the four of them unanimously chose to stay in Ruihe Town and nominated Chen Yunxuan as the mayor.

"Oh! I knew you would choose this." Gan Xingfan expressed his disappointment, but this result was also within his expectations.

After adjusting his mood, Gan Xingfan patted Lin Tongxi on the shoulder and said, "But you are still my subordinates, just working in a different place. In the future, if you have the chance, come to Guangyang County to drink with me!"

"Gan County Magistrate has extended such a cordial invitation, and we will certainly accept it." Lin Tongxi responded on behalf of the four people.

Gan Xingfan smiled, then handed the official seal of the mayor to Chen Yunxuan: "Chenxuan, the peace and tranquility of the people of Ruihe Town will be in your hands!"

Seeing this, Chen Yunxuan took the official seal and said spiritedly: "Yes!"
