The attack by the rogue army on Qing'an County Town lasted for another three days.

The intensity is getting stronger day by day.

The so-called King Ping Tian Li Zili is simply crazy. He doesn't look like a qualified tyrant at all. He knows that Qing'an County is a very difficult bone to crack, but he still wants to use his minions to crush it.

Although there were piles of corpses under the city wall, under the madness of the bandit leader, Qing'an County's defensive strength had reached a precarious level.

There is a possibility of being breached at any time.

On the morning of the fourth day, Garrison Army had just repelled a wave of thieves, and the soldiers collapsed on the ground one by one.

They were so exhausted and everyone was injured.

Some soldiers fell and never woke up.

"Get up!"

Ye Xiangming ordered in a hoarse voice, "Everyone, wake up, don't fall asleep, we are going to win."

The county magistrate had also reached his limit. He had dozens of large and small wounds on his body, all of which were sustained by his deep strength.

Continue to stand on the city wall.

"Mister Wang."

At this time, a government servant hurriedly found Wang Chen: "County Magistrate, please come over and discuss something urgent."

Wang Chen nodded. "Okay."

He said hello to Ye Xiangming, and then followed the government official to the county government office.

Ye Xiangming, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, was groggy and didn't pay attention at first. When one of his subordinates brought him a water bag, he took a few sips and poured it on his head, forcing himself to wake up.

"Not good!"

The county magistrate suddenly changed his expression!

At this moment, Wang Chen has arrived at the county government lobby.

The county magistrate Yu Heqian was sitting in the court hall reviewing official documents, and there were more than a dozen people sitting on the left and right sides.

Wang Chen recognized that these people were all prominent figures in Qing'an County Town, including gentry and wealthy businessmen, as well as two gang leaders.

Wang Chen stepped forward and bowed. "I have met you, sir."

Seeing Wang Chen, Yu Heqian immediately put down the brush in his hand. "Come here, give Mister Wang a seat and serve tea!"

A yamen servant immediately moved the seats, and another brought hot tea.

"Thank you, sir."

Wang Chen was not polite. After sitting down, he took the tea cup and took a sip.

At this time, he didn't seem to notice at all the strange looks from the people around him!

"Mister Wang."

Yu Heqian looked at Wang Chen with complicated eyes, as if he was struggling, but also with a little guilt and intolerance.

The county magistrate sighed, "I'm sorry, I don't want this to happen."

Wang Chen smiled.

Without any surprise or doubt, he asked, "Magistrate Yu, have you really thought about it?"

Yu Heqian replied expressionlessly, "You alone, and tens of thousands of people in the city, which one is more important? I have a clear conscience!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three tough warriors stepped out from the inner hall.

One of them was wearing iron armor, tall and burly, with a beard and tiger eyes, and looked like a cold Blood Baleful Qi all over his body.

"This is King Ping Tian's top general Xiao Zhan."

Yu Heqian introduced, "He was ordered to take your head."

Wang Chen sighed, "Magistrate Yu, collaborating with thieves is a serious crime against the nine clans."

Yu Heqian was not moved at all. "I only plan for the people in the city. Even if Imperial Court is convicted for this, I will admit it."

"Sir, you have no choice but to do so. Imperial Court will forgive you."

"As long as you can keep Qing'an County, what does this mean?"

"Whoever wants to say that your Excellency is collaborating with thieves, I am the first person who will not agree!"

"That's right."

All the gentry and wealthy businessmen present expressed their support for Yu Heqian.

There was no way, and if possible, they didn't want to force the county magistrate to commit crimes together.

During the past period, the large households in the county have suffered heavy losses. Not only did they have to provide money and food, they also had to send their children and servants to defend the city.

If the army of rogue bandits could be completely repelled, such losses would still be bearable.

But Ping Tian Army continued to attack at all costs, causing more and more casualties. Seeing that the city wall was likely to be breached, these gentry naturally couldn't sit still.

They also knew the withdrawal conditions offered by King Ping Tian Li Zili.

Although many people understand that rogue bandits are not reliable, what if the other party keeps their promise?

It is better for Wang Chen to die alone than to be buried together!

After these Qing'an County leading figures made their decisions, they acted very quickly.

They first forced Yu Heqian into the palace, and then secretly communicated with the bandits outside the city. Last night, they brought three masters from the Ping Tian Army into the city to deal with the extremely powerful Wang Chen.

Yu Heqian said calmly, "Wang Chen, accept your fate, the cup of tea you just drank was laced with Crane's Crest Red."

Wang Chen chuckled, opened his mouth and spit out a stream of tea.

He knew something was wrong with the cup of hot tea just now when he smelled it, so it didn't matter if he drank it.

Not to mention a mere cup of poisonous tea, even if you eat three pounds of Crane's Crest Red, it won't hurt Wang Chen at all!

The poisonous tea turned into an arrow and flew three steps away in an instant, hitting a gentry who was still noisy in the face.

The latter had no time to dodge, and fell backwards and fell to the ground on the spot. His whole face was bloody and bloody, and he already gave out the air of death.

"Death!"

That King Ping Tian's top general Xiao Zhan realized something was wrong, and immediately drew out his sword and slashed hard at Wang Chen.

Wang Chen sat still and punched out, hitting the blade.

collapse!

The sword instantly broke into two pieces, with the upper half flying back and piercing Xiao Zhan's chest.

His protective armor was like paper and did not play any defensive role.

"You!"

Xiao Zhan's eyes widened in anger, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

He is Ping Tian Army's second-in-command. His strength has reached the level of a top master in the world. The weapon he uses is also a thousand-forged sword. However, the blow that condensed 100% of his power was broken by Wang Chen's empty punch.

Half of the blade penetrated the thug's chest and tore out his heart!

The others were about to attack Wang Chen together, but their main force was killed on the spot, and everyone was stunned.

Huge fear arose in everyone's heart.

"Ha!"

Wang Chen sneered and suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand.

The next moment, dozens of pieces of porcelain were shot out. The surrounding group of gentry and wealthy merchants, two gang leaders, and two other thieves were all hit, and they fell to the ground screaming.

Wang Chen stood up and looked at the colorless Yu Heqian in the courtroom. "Magistrate Yu, do you have any last words?"

Yu Heqian's lips trembled twice, and he said quietly, "I, I am Imperial Court's official..."

Poof!

A piece of porcelain pierced the center of his eyebrow.

Wang Chen flicked his fingers and said calmly, "I know, but it's useless."

At this moment, a figure rushed into the lobby like a gust of wind.

It is Ye Xiangming.

However, the scene in front of him made the county magistrate completely speechless! ——

The second update is sent.
