"What are your orders, sir?"
"Take men and raid the Red Sleeve Inn. Arrest no one else, only the madam. Bring her back and interrogate her thoroughly."
"promise……"
"Investigate whether this old man has evaded taxes, forced girls into illegal activities, or beaten girls and committed murder."
"These bastards are always caught red-handed when investigated."
Jiang Tian knew that no one who could run a brothel was a good person.
This madam has been in the business for so long, she must have committed a lot of crimes.
Any one of those items would be enough to make that madam suffer a lot.
"Alright, hurry up and go. Bring more people with you, don't let that old dog get away."
Luo Xiaohu quickly accepted the order and left.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Miaomiao was greatly surprised: "Young master, you are...?"
“Just passing by.” Jiang Tian leaned closer to Fairy Miaomiao. “You must be Fairy Miaomiao from Fairy Music Pavilion. I’ll definitely visit you there another day.”
After saying that, Jiang Tian jumped into the carriage and headed straight for the county government office.
Fairy Miaomiao stood there stunned: "Just what kind of person is this Young Master Jiang Tian? He was able to ruin Hongxiuzhao's business with just a few words."
...
Early the next morning.
Jiang Tian was awakened by a system notification sound.
[Ding! The Flying Dragon, the leader of Erlong Mountain, has gained 1212 rage points.]
[Ding! Rage value from Ding Xiaosan, the bandit from Erlong Mountain, +666]
[Ding! From bandits of Erlong Mountain...]
Jiang Tian stretched.
Dian Wei was ineffective.
So many days have passed, and I only just received Erlongshan's anger points today.
"Big Brother, you're awake." The young girl, Nangong Qianyu, quickly came over.
"Qianyu, you stay in the city for the next few days. I'm going back to Peach Blossom Village."
Upon hearing this, the young girl was immediately disappointed.
These past few days, the young girl Nangong Qianyu has been getting along very well with Jiang Tian, and the two are currently in a very close and inseparable phase.
Although Jiang Tian failed to breach Nangong Qianyu's last line of defense, the young girl had already lowered her guard against him.
"Big Brother, I'll go back with you."
“You still have a lot to do in the city.” Jiang Tian put his arm around the gentle and lovely girl. “We’ve just taken over the county town, and everything there needs to be rebuilt.”
Nangong Qianyu buried her pretty face in Jiang Tian's chest: "But, I can't bear to part with you, young master."
"I'll be right back."
Jiang Tian opened the system farm.
In the system farm, the fruits, grains, and livestock are ripe and ready to be picked and harvested at any time.
Jiang Tian clicked "Harvest" on the first click.
[Congratulations, host, you have completed the harvesting and slaughtering. You are rewarded with one acre of vegetable garden.]
[The group owner will have one additional acre added to all their farms, ranches, medicinal herb gardens, and orchards.]
[The host is rewarded with two wells, each producing a kilogram of sweet well water per day.]
Not bad, not bad, now you have a vegetable garden again.
This vegetable garden can grow a wide variety of vegetables.
Jiang Tian was most pleased that the medicinal herb field had increased from half an acre to a full acre.
Without hesitation, he planted all the medicinal fields that had not yet been planted with herbs for treating injuries, promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling and pain, and stopping bleeding.
Large-scale battles are inevitable in the future, so these medicinal herbs must be kept on hand to ensure preparedness.
Jiang Tian took out dozens of watermelons, as well as a lot of grapes.
He placed all of these in front of Nangong Qianyu: "It's dry and hot these days, keep these to quench your thirst. I'll be back in three days at most, two days at least."
"Yes... I'll wait for you here, my lord."
"Dalang must come back as soon as possible."
…………
At the city gate.
Jiang Tian's carriage stopped there.
"My lord, you should return to Peach Blossom Village. I will escort you back."
"No need, just have Luo Xiaohu bring fifty men back with me." Jiang Tian remembered the person named Gao Zeyuan from the system notification last night.
"Luo Xiaohu, do you know Gao Zeyuan?"
Luo Xiaohu shook his head, and Wu Tian next to him was immediately startled. Although there was a hint of shock on his face, it was fleeting.
Others didn't notice, but Jiang Tian saw it clearly.
"Master Wu, you should go back now. There are many things waiting for you at the county office."
"Yes, sir, I'll take my leave." Wu Tian turned to walk back.
“Master Wu, remember this: I asked you to do this job in the hope that you can turn over a new leaf, not to continue to be an accomplice of evil.”
Wu Tian quickly replied, "Don't worry, sir. Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to have any other thoughts about you."
"That's good... Don't do things that will only hurt yourself. And another saying: If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."
"I've remembered." Wu Tian carefully recalled what he had done in the past few days. Could it be that Jiang Tian already knew that he had sent a message to Gao Zeyuan by carrier pigeon?
Wu Tian kept this matter extremely secret; even Gao Ming was unaware of his relationship with Gao Zeyuan.
"Xiang Yu, can we take the military camp outside the city?"
"Of course, as long as my lord gives the order, I can take down the military camp in the east of the city without breaking a sweat."
"Send troops there now, take the eastern military camp today, and keep the soldiers who are still usable."
Jiang Tian knew that Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, was a first-rate warrior, but he was also bloodthirsty.
Historically, Xiang Yu was known for his habit of massacring the inhabitants of every city he conquered.
In particular, after he captured Xianyang, he set fire to the Epang Palace, and the fire raged for three months.
"promise……"
Longcheng is located on the frontier, and the fighting strength of the garrison should be quite high. If they can be put to use, it will add one or two thousand soldiers.
"Now, form ranks and set off."
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he waved his hand and Luo Xiaohu led his men to follow Jiang Tian straight to Peach Blossom Village.
...
Military camp in the east of the city.
Gao Zeyuan personally mustered the troops.
A carrier pigeon flew over and landed steadily on his hand.
Gao Zeyuan quickly removed the letter from the carrier pigeon's leg.
"Brothers, follow me. We'll ambush Jiang Tian." Gao Zeyuan mounted his horse, bracing his legs against its belly.
His warhorse reared up and charged swiftly into the distance.
More than a hundred cavalrymen quickly followed and headed straight for the entrance of Peach Blossom Village.
Jiang Tian's carriage, escorted by Luo Xiaohu, arrived at Peach Blossom Village that afternoon.
Five miles from the village entrance, Jiang Tian saw a troop of cavalrymen watching him intently from a distance.
Gao Zeyuan saw the carriage in front and the fifty cavalrymen behind it.
The cavalryman held a lance and wore bright armor.
This armor gleamed under the sunlight, looking incredibly majestic and imposing.
On the other hand, the armor worn by Gao Zeyuan's side was utterly worthless.
Most of them were wearing leather armor and helmets.
He was immediately enraged: "According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, anyone who privately possesses weapons or armor shall be executed without mercy."
"Kill them all..."
"Charge up and chop them all down!"
Gao Zeyuan waved his hand, about to lead his troops in a charge, when a cavalryman charged over.
