Exempt Taxes! Meet the Centurion!

A thunderous shout suddenly erupted, echoing in everyone's ears!

Wang Xuan heard the voice and was immediately overjoyed!

Sun Fu and Manager Qian, however, frowned as they looked over.

"The government is handling affairs, who dares to interfere!"

Sun Fu shouted coldly.

But as soon as he turned his head, his expression changed drastically!

Beside him, Qian Tong's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly!

If he remembered correctly, Hou Feng had fallen at the hands of the newcomer yesterday!

Chen Feng, riding a warhorse and leading more than a dozen soldiers, was approaching!

"People from the army!"

"Isn't that Chen Feng, the third son of the Chen family? Why is he back!"

Many villagers immediately recognized Chen Feng.

It was indeed the Chen family's third son!

He had joined the army in the city two years ago and had only returned a few times in the past two years!

"Third brother!"

"Why are you back?"

Chen Shan stepped forward and asked.

Chen Feng rode his warhorse to the outside of the yard, dismounted, and said, "Dad, I'm back on official business this time."

"I'll tell you about it later!"

Chen Feng instructed, then turned his head to look at Sun Fu and the others!

"What are you trying to do!"

"Do you want to hit people!"

Chen Feng shouted coldly.

Sun Fu didn't recognize Chen Feng, but he knew that people from the army were not to be trifled with.

"This brother, we are tax officials here to collect taxes!"

"This family can't afford to pay the taxes, so we are preparing to arrest them!"

Sun Fu said politely.

Chen Feng said "oh" upon hearing this.

"Can't afford to pay the taxes, is that so, Little Shi Tou?"

Wang Xuan replied, "This official said that this year's poll tax and hunting tax have both increased, and we have to pay eighteen taels of silver!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Feng's face darkened!

"Eighteen taels?"

"I remember that this year's taxes have increased somewhat, but not that much!"

"Are you collecting taxes randomly?"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Fu secretly thought something was wrong!

In the crowd, Shi Qian frowned involuntarily.

Chen Feng continued, "Wang Xuan is someone Centurion personally invited into the camp, do you still want to collect taxes randomly and hit people!"

"What great official authority!"

"I will definitely report this matter to Centurion!"

His tone at the end became heavier.

Buzz!

Sun Fu's face changed drastically.

Centurion!

That was a big shot they couldn't afford to offend!

"Sir, this is a misunderstanding!"

"This is a misunderstanding!"

"Little brother, we made a mistake about this year's matter, please don't take it to heart!"

"We are willing to waive your taxes this year as an apology, how about that?"

Sun Fu changed his previous attitude.

He immediately cupped his hands and apologized to Wang Xuan.

It wasn't that he didn't want to bow his head, but rather that Centurion and the others were people he couldn't afford to offend. He had only accepted a few taels of silver from Shi Qian; it wasn't worth offending Centurion for Shi Qian's sake.

Meanwhile, on the side.

Manager Qian's expression changed slightly, his face complex.

Wang Xuan watched Sun Fu apologize. Although he felt murderous intent in his heart, he was also clear that Shi Qian was the one pulling strings behind the scenes today!

He couldn't possibly really kill Sun Fu.

"You jest, sir."

"Since you are willing to waive the taxes, then many thanks."

Wang Xuan also cupped his fist in salute.

"Then, we'll take our leave!"

Sun Fu didn't dare to linger and immediately turned to leave with his men.

Wang Xuan then looked at Manager Qian on the side and said, "Manager Qian, this is the money my sister-in-law borrowed from Master Zhou."

"No need to return the excess."

He threw four taels of silver to Qian Tong.

The latter caught the silver, his face uncertain.

He had come here today to take Wang Xuan's sister-in-law back!

But who could have imagined that something like this would happen!

Moreover, the person beside him was the one who killed Hou Feng yesterday!

Qian Tong didn't dare to cause trouble, smiling and saying, "Since the money is repaid, then we'll be going."

Qian Tong came quickly and left quickly.

In the distance.

Shi Qian and Liu San and the others looked unsightly, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They really couldn't understand how Wang Xuan, a hunter, could be valued by Centurion.

And at this moment, murderous intent surged in Shi Qian's heart!

"It's him, my brother's death must be related to him!"

He didn't know why Wang Xuan was valued by Centurion, but judging from Wang Xuan's performance just now, his brother's death was very likely related to Wang Xuan!

However, he also knew that he definitely couldn't deal with Wang Xuan right now.

Shi Qian clenched his fists, leaving unwillingly, while Liu San and the others hurriedly followed.

"Little Shi, are you alright?"

Seeing Sun Fu and Qian Tong leave, Chen Feng then asked.

Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

"It's a good thing you came in time, Brother Feng, or I might have made a move!"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "This world is getting more and more chaotic. These guys are shaking people down everywhere. It's not just this time that I've encountered this kind of thing."

"But it's good that nothing happened in the end."

"By the way, Centurion wants you to go over earlier."

"Look at now..."

Wang Xuan turned back and looked at his sister-in-law, Lu Yao, who still hadn't reacted, and said, "Sister-in-law, I actually went to the military camp in the city today."

"I'm leaving now."

"Don't run around at home, and don't open the door to anyone casually."

Lu Yao nodded and said, "I understand."

"Then go early and come back early."

Wang Xuan responded and followed Chen Feng out the door.

At this time.

Chen Shan walked over and looked at his son, saying, "Third, what's going on? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Chen Feng explained, "Something happened in the county town recently, so I came back for a trip."

"I was originally going to come back yesterday, but some things happened. I'm back now to take Little Shi into the city to consider the matter of joining the army."

"We'll be back in the afternoon."

Chen Shan heard this and knew that his son had something to deal with, so he didn't ask too much.

"Uncle Chen, when I'm not at home, please help me take care of my sister-in-law. She's a woman alone at home, and I'm afraid someone might come to her door to make trouble!"

Wang Xuan instructed at this time.

Chen Shan replied, "Don't worry, go ahead."

"I'll have your sister-in-law go over to my place later to keep your aunt company."

Wang Xuan nodded.

"Little Shi, let's get on the horse."

"I'll take you into the military camp; the Centurion is already waiting!"

Immediately, Wang Xuan and Chen Feng rode the same horse, heading straight for the county town.

The surrounding villagers watched Wang Xuan leave with Chen Feng, their eyes filled with envy.

The Centurion!

To these mountain villagers, he was a monumental figure!

An hour later.

Wang Xuan followed Chen Feng to the military camp in the county town.

The scale of White Water County's military camp wasn't small.

The standing army numbered as many as five thousand.

Adding in the number of people in the new recruit camp, the total was probably close to ten thousand.

Wang Xuan followed behind Chen Feng into the military camp, and along the way, they could see many patrolling soldiers and those training.

Most of them wore simple armor, and although they had Blood Essence fluctuations on their bodies, they were mostly ordinary people or Martial Practitioners at the Ox Hide level.

There weren't many like Chen Feng who had reached the Iron Skin level.

Soon.

Wang Xuan followed Chen Feng to the front of a tent.

"Centurion!"

"Wang Xuan has been brought!"

His voice entered the tent, and soon a deep, resonant voice came from within.

"Enter!"

Chen Feng cupped his fist slightly, turned to Wang Xuan, and said, "Little Shi, whatever the Centurion asks you to do later, just do it."

"Remember not to hold anything back!"

"The stronger you show yourself to be, the more attention you'll get!"
