The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

When everyone gathered together, Duan Tianyang said with a heavy face: "The court has noticed the ambitions of the Jin Kingdom in Xifan, and I believe that they will make corresponding arrangements soon. But don't expect the court to send a large army to garrison Xiguan. At present, the court's military strength is tight and it is difficult to spare manpower. If the Jin Kingdom really launches an attack from Xifan, Xiguan City will be our first line of defense and the last position to defend our territory. Therefore, we must immediately start to reserve troops, raise food and city defense equipment to meet the needs of the emergency."

Guan Hu went on to say, "The Longsha area is rich in rock resources, and we can get rocks from the local area. There is also abundant wood near the Qinba tribe, and we can get logs from there. But our kerosene reserves are seriously insufficient, which is a big problem." He emphasized, "Logs, rocks, and kerosene are all essential for defending the city, and none of them can be missing."

Qiu Tieyi continued, "There is kerosene stored near Tianhu City."

Guan Hu frowned and responded, "Tianhu City is in chaos. I heard that the rebels have taken control of the city. If we go there to collect kerosene, we may be blocked by them."

He paused for a moment and continued, "The combined strength of our two cities, Yunzhong and Longsha, is less than a thousand. It would be extremely risky to rashly attack Tianhu City."

However, Qiu Tieyi disagreed and retorted: "The rebels are only so strong. There were more than 2,000 rebels outside Longsha City, but they were easily defeated by our 200 brothers, weren't they?"

Guan Hu was about to speak, but Duan Tianyang waved his hand to stop their argument. He said calmly: "Our first priority is to take the rear of the three cities we are in, rather than taking the risk of attacking Tianhu City."

Guan Hu and Qiu Tieyi asked at the same time: "Brother Tian, ​​do you mean that we should occupy Biqiu City first?"

Duan Tianyang nodded and said, "Only when the rear is stable can we resist the powerful enemy in Xiguan City without any worries."

He continued, "But the lord and the chief of the city guard of Bhikkhu City are still in the city."

At this time, Duan Tianyang's eyes became deep, and he added: "That's why we need to find a way to make them disappear."

A hint of coldness flashed across Lu Jingyuan's eyes, and he volunteered: "Brother Tian, ​​leave this matter to me."

Qiu Tieyi also immediately said, "There is also me, Brother Tian. I have experience in this kind of thing. Give me two days, and I will ensure that they disappear from Biqiu City forever."

Duan Tianyang pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and expressed his opinion: "No, if we kill these two people ourselves, it will easily leave room for criticism. When the situation in Xiguan stabilizes in the future, the twelve major cities will definitely conduct an in-depth investigation here, and our actions will be exposed by then."

"So what should we do?"

Duan Tianyang fell into deep thought again, and whispered: "This matter is a bit harsh, let me think about it again."

After a while, Duan Tianyang seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "By the way, I plan to set up a new branch hall, called Yinwu Hall. Let Tieyi be the hall master, and Jingyuan be the deputy hall master. What do you think about this?"

Lu Jingyuan and Qiu Tieyi were naturally delighted to hear that they finally had a position in the Hongxing Society. The others also nodded in agreement and said, "We will follow Brother Tian's arrangements!"

Duan Tianyang saw this and smiled, "Okay, then this matter is decided."

He continued: "Yinwutang will be responsible for carrying out assassination missions from now on."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyuan and Qiu Tieyi hurriedly bowed their hands in thanks: "Thank you, Brother Tian!"

Duan Tianyang was discussing with his men how to kill someone else with a borrowed knife and get rid of the mayor and the chief of the city guards of Biqiu City so as to take over Biqiu City smoothly.

At this time, a soldier hurried in to report: "Brother Tian, ​​there are three people outside the City Lord's Mansion, claiming to be from the Chang Family Army, and they want to see you."

Guan Hu slammed the table in anger and stood up, shouting angrily: "Our caravan was robbed, and the Chang family army was the mastermind behind it. Now they dare to come to our door, I will go and kill the three of them right now!"

"Don't worry." Duan Tianyang stopped Guan Hu and turned to the soldier who reported the news and asked, "Who is coming? Which general of the Chang family army?"

The soldier replied: "One of them is called Chang Yuan, and he claims to be the commander of the Chang family army."

"What?" Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that the Chang family's head coach would come to Yunzhong City in person. This was beyond everyone's expectations.

Guan Hu asked doubtfully: "Brother Tian, ​​should we meet him?"

Duan Tianyang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He slowly said: "Since we are here, why not meet him?" Then, he turned to the soldier who reported the news and said: "Bring Chang Yuan in alone."

After a while, the soldier came in with a burly man.

The man looked to be in his early forties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a dignified appearance and a sturdy build.

He walked into the hall and everyone's eyes were immediately focused on him.

The burly man looked around at the people present, smiled and bowed, saying, "I am Chang Yuan, the commander of the Chang Family Army. May I ask who is Lord Duan?"

"It's me." Duan Tianyang stepped out of the crowd, stood firmly in front of the burly man, and looked at him with sharp eyes.

Then, he turned his gaze slightly and ordered the soldier stationed at the door: "Close the door and don't let anyone in."

The soldier agreed and quickly closed the door of the hall.

Chang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, glanced behind him, and asked calmly: "Master Duan, what are you doing..."

Duan Tianyang smiled slightly and asked, "I am an official appointed by the imperial court, and you are a traitor. Do you think that the matters between you and me can be easily disclosed to others?"

Chang Yuan was stunned by the question, then he touched his chest and laughed, and the laughter echoed throughout the hall.

Duan Tianyang narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Chang Yuan.

Chang Yuan stopped laughing and then calmed down, praising: "Master Duan's actions are indeed flawless. I admire him very much."

Duan Tianyang heard this and waved his hand, saying, "Sit down."

The two of them sat down according to etiquette. Chang Yuan took off the bag on his back and placed it on the table. He said, "Master Duan, I have come all the way to Yunzhong City to discuss two important matters."

After saying that, he reached out and untied the bag on the table. Seeing this, everyone around him raised their hands and tightly grasped the weapons at their waists. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Duan Tianyang raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone not to panic.

Chang Yuan smiled, unwrapped the package calmly, and took out a wooden box.

He gently opened the lid of the box and looked inside, which contained a pair of crystal clear glass cups.

He pushed the wooden box towards Duan Tianyang and said, "Master Duan, this is both a meeting gift and an apology. I hope this gift can make the unhappiness between us disappear."

No one had ever seen such items, because the utensils commonly used in the divine realm were all made of ceramics.

But as a modern man, Duan Tianyang is naturally familiar with glass cups.

In modern society, this kind of glass can be found everywhere and is worth only two yuan.

However, Duan Tianyang still felt happy to see modern objects in this strange world.

He casually took out a glass from the wooden box and played with it carefully in his hands.

Compared with modern craftsmanship, the workmanship of these two glasses seems particularly crude.
