It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

The third in command felt a little embarrassed and felt that Zhao Rui had brought shame on him.

He smiled broadly at Lu Xingchen, "Sir Lu, Brother Lu, don't take this lunatic seriously. He is just a poor scholar who has read too many books and has a broken brain."

Lu Xingchen smiled and nodded, complimenting the Third Master a few words, "The Third Master is also considered a hero in Teng County, and his words are effective..."

When the third in command heard Lu Xingchen's praise, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Except for the eldest and second brothers, the others dare not say anything I say."

"Lord Lu, Brother Lu, don't worry, you come here with sincerity. Our brothers in Teng County are not blind and will never let you suffer any unfair treatment." The third in command said and made a gesture of invitation.

Lu Xingchen nodded and walked forward.

"Teng County is over." Zhao Rui laughed a few times and shouted to the sky.

"Catch this lunatic for me! We'll settle the score with him after my eldest brother's wedding is over." The third in command ordered the soldiers behind him.

"You don't have to catch me. I'll leave Teng County now." Zhao Rui said, turned around and strode out of the city.

Lu Xingchen winked at Lu Feng.

Lu Feng understood what he meant and turned around and ordered the people following him to chase Zhao Rui.

Lu Xingchen followed the third in command to the county government office of Teng County.

At this time, there were already some guests waiting in the county government office.

Looking at the trembling appearance of those people, it was obvious that they had already been frightened by Zhao Long and others.

And judging from the clothes they were wearing, they looked like merchants and gentry from Teng County.

"Second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, look who I brought with me."

After the third in command entered the yamen, he greeted people loudly.

A moment later, three people strode towards them.

"Second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, this is Lu Xingchen, the county magistrate of Xing County. He's here to give eldest brother a wedding gift. See how many gifts he brought. Let's give them out." The third in command shouted excitedly.

The eyes of the three bosses all fell on the box brought by Lu Xingchen.

How could they not be excited with so many treasures.

There are six heads of Teng County, and four of them have appeared now. So the sixth head will follow Zhao Long to welcome the bride.

Since the leaders are all here, when should we take action if not now?

"Kill..." Before Lu Xingchen finished his words, the knife was out of its sheath. The bald head of the third in command, which was just growing on his neck, had fallen to the ground.

The mouth that was about to speak seemed to be opening and closing.

Before the other three leaders could react, Lu Feng had already chopped off the second in command's head.

Ling Xiao also moved quickly. He raised his sword and slashed it on the chest of the fourth in command.

The fifth boss was at the back and was about to run, but Lu Feng took a quick step forward and stabbed the blade into the fifth boss's back.

Inside the lobby of the Teng County government office, everyone was originally sitting there in a daze, but when they suddenly saw this scene, they couldn't help but scream. Then some people ran outside, and some hid under the table.

The people brought by Lu Xingchen drew their blades in an instant.

This time, Lu Xingchen brought more than 200 people into Teng County.

"Catch two soldiers and ask them where the barracks is first." Lu Xingchen shouted to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao agreed, strode out of the county government office, and caught a soldier who was about to rush in.

He kicked the soldier to the ground.

The soldier rolled twice and came in front of Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen raised his foot and stepped on the soldier's neck. "Tell me, where is your barracks? How many soldiers are there?"

Although it is Zhao Long's wedding day, it is impossible for all the soldiers to attend the wedding banquet.

"The barracks is in the east of the city, but there aren't many soldiers left inside. There were less than a hundred who patrolled last night." The soldier answered in a trembling voice.

"Lu Feng, you lead a hundred people to the east of the city to find the barracks and kill all the soldiers inside who can be killed."

"How many soldiers are there in Teng County?" Lu Xingchen asked.

"There are less than a thousand people in Teng County now."

The soldier then replied in a trembling voice, "It used to be more, but I can't afford it lately."

"How much did Zhao Long take with him when he left?"

"The county magistrate took four hundred people with him when he went to meet his bride."

"There are less than six hundred people in the city."

"Most of these people are now on the city wall..."

"Master, please spare my life. I am not a bandit. I was a soldier from Teng County. I was forced to do this..."

Lu Xingchen picked the man up and knocked him unconscious on the ground.

Then she took Ling Xiao and Lu Yun to look for the soldiers scattered in Teng County.

Most of those soldiers were on the city walls, so why didn't they see many people when they entered the city?

There was no one in Teng County. Lu Xingchen climbed up the city wall without any hindrance.

The tower of Teng County is not wide, but it is also a circular protective wall.

The city wall goes around the county seat of Teng County, with beacon towers all around and a city gate on each side of the city wall.

Lu Xingchen and his friends entered through the main city gate.

Every few hundred meters, there are towers on the inner side of the city wall for soldiers to rest. There are also taller watchtowers on the towers.

Logically, there should be at least two to four soldiers on duty in the watchtower.

However, since Lu Xingchen and his team entered the city, they have not seen a single soldier guarding the watchtower.

This shows how lax the security is in Teng County.

Lu Xingchen took Ling Xiao and Lu Yun to the city wall and found a group of soldiers squatting in the city tower gambling enthusiastically.

For a moment, Lu Xingchen didn't know whether he should kill them.

"Kneel on the ground and surrender." Ling Xiao shouted.

A soldier reacted and rushed out with his knife in hand, but was knocked to the ground by Ling Xiao with one blow.

Seeing this, the other soldiers dropped their knives and knelt on the ground.

Some soldiers were even secretly taking silver.

"Everyone come out, squat at the wall, and untie your belts..." Lu Xingchen shouted sternly, "Follow the people in front, those behind."

These soldiers were already frightened out of their wits. They squatted on the ground and untied their belts. Following the instructions, the people behind tied the arms, legs and feet of the people in front together.

Lu Xingchen left two people to guard the soldiers and continued forward with the rest of the people.

After walking around the city wall, I counted the number of people and found that there were only more than 200 people.

"You have at least four hundred guards on the city wall. Why are there only two hundred now?" Lu Xingchen grabbed a young general, put a knife on his neck, and asked.

"Everyone else has gone to the county town to sleep with the young lady." The young general showed a helpless expression.

"Take us to find it." Lu Xingchen said.

All living forces must be brought under control.

The young general naturally did not dare to disobey, and took Lu Xingchen and others to look for him.

When they rushed into a yard, the scene in front of them made Ling Xiao and Lu Yun's cheeks hot.

These beasts, a group of men and a group of women, were sleeping together naked and in a mess in just a few rooms.

"Drag these scum out and kill them all." Lu Xingchen ordered in a low voice.
