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

The residence that Su Wen arranged for Duan Tianyang is located in the north of the city, close to the north gate, and is an independent courtyard.

In terms of conditions, the architectural style of the entire Xiguan City is exactly the same. Whether it is the City Lord's Mansion or the City Guard Mansion, or even ordinary houses, they are all a combination of loess and mud. This kind of earthen house can only meet basic living needs.

As you step into the house, you can see the long earthen kang at a glance. Looking down, you can see the shabby wooden table and a few broken chairs. There is a wardrobe in the corner, and these are all the furnishings in the room.

If Duan Tianyang's residence is like this, then one can imagine what the residences of Xiao Fang and others are like.

They were arranged in simple huts around the courtyard. The interior decoration was even more shabby. Apart from the earthen kang and the kang mat on it, there were no other superfluous items.

Duan Tianyang couldn't help but sigh quietly. Everything in this world was good, except for the lack of modern electronic products and electrical appliances such as mobile phones and air conditioners.

The thought of having to live in this damn place for a long time in the future made him feel overwhelmed.

Duan Tianyang walked into the house and sat lightly on the edge of the kang. Then he waved to Yan Bin and asked seriously, "Xiao Bin, tell me why Su Wen wanted to kill you? If you don't tell the truth, not only me, but also Jesus can't save you!"

It is totally unreasonable for Su Wen to make such a fuss against an ordinary citizen just because of personal grudges.

Yan Bin walked up to Duan Tianyang and glanced at him secretly, only to see Duan Tianyang's eyes were as sharp as torches.

He immediately lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Recently, there have been frequent cases of caravans being robbed near Xiguan City. My brothers and I are living in poverty, so we plan to rob some money."

He paused, and continued, "Yesterday, I took two brothers to ambush beside the official road, intending to rob a small caravan and leave, but we never expected that a large caravan came. Seeing the large number of people, we did not dare to act. At this time, a group of masked robbers suddenly appeared. They were numerous and cruel, killing everyone they saw. Not only did they kill everyone, but they also robbed all the property. And I found that one of them was Su Wen's confidant. I knew I saw something I shouldn't have seen. So I asked my brothers to keep the secret, but the news leaked out, and my two brothers were killed by Su Wen. If it weren't for the adults' help, I would have died."

Duan Tianyang frowned after hearing this and asked, "Are you saying that Su Wen secretly sent his men to disguise themselves as robbers to rob passing caravans?"

Yan Bin glanced at Duan Tianyang, then swallowed his saliva, nodded and said, "Yes, yes!"

Guan Hu slammed the table and said angrily: "This group of people is so abominable! They are simply lawless!"

Jin Bao and the others also had angry looks on their faces. Su Wen, the chief of the city guards, was doing banditry. He not only robbed caravans, but also killed people to silence them. Is there any law in this?

Duan Tianyang asked curiously: "Does the city lord know nothing about this?"

Yan Bin smiled bitterly, shook his head, and replied: "The mayor of Xiguan City is just a drunkard, a womanizer, and a lazy guy. He indulges in pleasure all day long and doesn't care about the affairs of the city. All the affairs of Xiguan City are handled by Su Wen."

He looked at Duan Tianyang worriedly and continued, "Your Excellency's help this time, I am very grateful, but you have offended Su Wen this time, I am afraid you will be in big trouble in the future."

"How big of a trouble would that be?" Duan Tianyang asked with a smile.

Yan Bin replied solemnly: "Su Wen is the actual ruler of Xiguan City. He is extremely powerful and no one dares to be his enemy. Your Excellency has made him lose face in front of everyone this time, and he will definitely not let it go. Therefore, Your Excellency must be careful in the future!"

Duan Tianyang disagreed and asked, "Do you know how many soldiers are there in Xiguan City now?"

Yan Bin replied: "Probably more than a thousand people."

Duan Tianyang couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and asked in confusion: "What? Isn't Xiguan City organized into ten battalions, which should have at least 10,000 soldiers? How come there are only so few people?"

Yan Bin explained: "Xiguan City is located in a remote area, and the living conditions are difficult, so people are unwilling to come here to serve as soldiers. Among the more than 1,000 people now, there are many prisoners who have committed crimes. They came here because the government promised that they could be exempted from punishment if they joined the army."

After hearing this, Guan Hu shook his head and sighed: "This is such a desolate place!"

However, an inexplicable sadness welled up in Duan Tianyang's heart. He didn't expect Ling Ziyan to be so cruel and send him to such a place. What was the difference between this and asking for his life?

Alas, it’s all because of alcohol!

He sighed and asked, "How many battalion guards are there in the city now?"

Yan Bin thought for a moment, then said, "There are already nine battalion guards, plus you, that makes ten."

"There are only more than a thousand people, how could we need nine battalion guards?" Xiao Fang frowned in confusion.

Duan Tianyang explained: "There are nine battalion guards, which means that Xiguan City has nine battalion guards. Every year, we can apply for a lot more military funds and food wages from the twelve main cities."

He has seen this kind of operation many times in modern units.

Xiao Fang couldn't help but shake his head. There were only a thousand people in Xiguan City, but Su Wen was able to sit back and enjoy the benefits, receiving the military pay for nine thousand people! What a huge sum of money this year must have brought!

Duan Tianyang fell into deep thought at first, but suddenly his eyes lit up and he burst into laughter.

Everyone was confused by his reaction. Could it be that Brother Tian was too sad and went crazy because he was sent here by the princess?

Jin Bao swallowed and asked carefully: "Brother Tian, ​​are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine!" Duan Tianyang stopped laughing.

He suddenly understood and said leisurely, "This kind of place where no one is in charge is simply too good to be true. In the entire God's Domain, there is no better place than this."

Everyone's eyes widened after hearing this, including Yan Bin, who looked at Duan Tianyang in disbelief.

What good can come from a place like this?

"The Twelve Main Cities, no one cares about this place, doesn't it give us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" Duan Tianyang's eyes flickered with excitement, and he continued, "In the entire God's Domain, is there any other place where we can be so free, do whatever we want, and do whatever we want?"

In modern society, because of the difficulties in life, Duan Tianyang once fantasized about stepping into the gray areas without law jurisdiction such as the Golden Triangle or northern Myanmar, hoping to make a name for himself.

But reality told him that that would require extraordinary abilities, which he knew very well he did not possess.

However, in this world, he is a martial artist and is surrounded by many like-minded brothers.

If I could take root in a place like Xiguan City and develop my own power, it would be much better than staying in Xuanhuang City.

He can become the overlord here and no longer have to look at other people's faces.

He went on to say: "Xiguan City is not only a place with huge potential, but also a place where our dreams come true! We can develop our own power here and become our own boss in the future. Isn't that wonderful?"

Just as Duan Kun in the movie "Drug War" said: "What Tsim Sha Tsui Duan Kun? I want to be Hong Kong Duan Kun. No, I want to be the world's Duan Kun!"
