I can practice every day for a year

County Office.

It was late at night, and most people had fallen asleep except for the regular guards.

The magistrate of Baiyun County was Guan Ling, who passed the imperial examination at the age of 30 in Qi State, but he had no background and was sent to work in Baiyun County, which was considered the bottom among the lower counties.

He served for more than 20 years.

When he first came to this mountainous place where no one lived, Guan Ling was ambitious and determined to build a place, but as time went by, this enthusiasm naturally disappeared.

Now that Guan Ling is over 50 years old, he knows that there is no hope of promotion, so he began to neglect government affairs and focus on pleasure.

After the demon year, he was also the first local official to turn his back on the demon.

He was sleeping soundly, but heard an anxious report from outside.

"Master, it's so late, who is coming?" A soft voice came to my ear, asking in confusion.

Guan Ling looked like a scholar with white hair on his temples. After being woken up, he said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, please tell me!"

"According to the report from the people in Xuan Gua Lane, the person we sent over is dead!" The man outside had a hoarse voice and was still terrified.

Guan Ling didn't react to this at first, and then he shuddered suddenly.

Xuan Gua Lane is not the place where Hu Lao Si was sent today?

"What do you mean dead!" Guan Ling opened the door and asked loudly without even wearing shoes.

"Including Hu Siye, they all died at the hands of a commoner named Chen Wang." The clerk in the yamen said with his head down.

Guan Ling grabbed the clerk's clothes: "Is what you said true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Guan Ling held his head with both hands, his eyes dull.

It's over, everything is over...

No, there may be a turning point!

"You should notify everyone in the yamen immediately, take down Chen Wang, and some people should guard the exit to prevent him from escaping!"

"Yes!"

After such a thing, Guan Ling was no longer sleepy. He went back to the house and changed into formal clothes. His mood had gradually calmed down.

The death of Hu Lao Si was a big deal, but there was still hope.

As long as Chen Wang was captured as soon as possible and handed over to the tiger tribe for disposal, and then some people in the county were used as compensation, he might be able to reconcile!

"Chen Wang..." Guan Ling silently chanted the name, hatred flashed in his eyes, where did the peaceful life come from!

What Baiyun County feared was never a Hu Lao Si who had just entered the Qi and Blood Realm, but the Tiger Clan behind Hu Lao Si.

...

Zhao Mansion.

"Master, I have already found out that before Heng'er died, he had contact with this Chen Wang. This boy can kill the Qi and Blood Realm demons, and he has a grudge with Heng'er. It is most likely him!"

Sun Wei looked at the secret letter in her hand and said decisively.

Zhao Chengyue no longer had a calm expression, but stood up and ordered: "Notify the masters in the mansion to surround and kill this person."

…

Soon, the yamen runners and the Zhao family's thugs came to Chen Wang's house excitedly, but found that there was no one there. The people had already slipped away.

"Block the way out!"

Chen Wang, who had packed up and fled at the first opportunity, now shuttled through every small road with ease based on the original owner's memory.

But there must be a battle tonight.

Baiyun County has border defenses, but what makes people feel ridiculous is that these border defenses are useless in front of the demons. They are almost allowed to pass through, but are used to stop them, the locals.

Gradually, the yamen and the Zhao family began to disperse throughout the county, with five people in a team, carrying a torch, and conducting a carpet search.

"I, Chen Wang, obstructed the government from doing its job and deliberately murdered a court official. I deserve to be executed!"

"I, Chen Wang, murdered Zhao Heng and fled for fear of punishment. I am guilty of an even greater crime!"

Before Chen Wang left Baiyun County, these two charges had already been put on his head.

For these two charges, in the eyes of the government, killing Chen Wang alone was far from enough.

If he was caught, he might even implicate the entire alley.

The checkpoint set up by Baiyun County was already in sight. Chen Wang pulled the corner of his mouth and did not rush up immediately, but hid in the dark to observe the situation.

Among this group of people, he saw the most conspicuous woman.

He had seen Zhao's wife Sun Wei from a distance several times. On both sides of her, there was a Qi and Blood Realm warrior protecting her. In addition, there was a head of the government.

There were not many head of the county government, but they were all Qi and Blood Realm warriors. It was said that the county lieutenant who was in charge of many head of the county was a Qi and Blood Realm master.

The other side had two Qi and Blood Realm masters in total. Chen Wang weighed it up and thought that he was not sure that he could win the battle quickly. Once the fight started, it would be easy to alert the enemy. Maybe more masters nearby would come by chance, and then he would be unable to escape.

Chen Wang secretly analyzed the situation in his heart.

But he thought that if he didn't fight, he would be dead when the government formed an encirclement!

With this thought, Chen Wang became ruthless. Anyway, this life was picked up, so he would do it!

Chen Wang's figure was like a phantom, wandering in the dark. Coincidentally, he just ran into a team of people patrolling the path.

The five people were all serious, changing their previous laziness, and they knew the importance of this incident very well.

If the demons really counterattacked, many people would definitely die.

When they ran into Chen Wang, they were stunned.

They had all seen Chen Wang's portrait, but no one really remembered it in detail, and could only remember his general appearance.

When they saw the appearance of the person in front of them, they always felt familiar.

Chen Wang had already thrown a punch.

In the blink of an eye, all five of them were lying on the ground.

Chen Wang stripped off the official robe of one of them and put it on.

Not to mention, it was quite warm.

The people lived worse than dogs, and even the officials, even if they were petty officials, had a lot of money.

At the county gate, Sun Wei, wearing a thick mink coat, rubbed her hands and feet, paced back and forth, and could not stand the cold weather.

"Madam, why don't you go back to the mansion first? If you continue like this, you may catch a cold." The guard beside her kindly reminded.

Sun Wei's face was full of resentment: "I must watch that little bastard die in front of me, I want him to pay with his life!"

The guard was speechless and could only shake his head and said no more.

If Chen Wang was really caught, it would not be their turn to deal with him. It would most likely be handed over to the Dashanhu tribe.

Just as everyone was chatting, a sword-wielding officer came towards them on the road in the wind and snow.

The head constable Qian Dun, who was in charge of guarding this place, saw the lone colleague at the first time, stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is your captain?"

No answer, because a knife light was already stabbing in the face.

This sudden scene made everyone's mind blank.

Over the years, whether it was the county clerk, the runner, or even the head constable, they had long lost the spirit of fighting against the demons. They were used to enjoying life, and their fighting sense would quietly decrease.

So this knife directly pierced Qian Dun's chest, and half of the blade was exposed from the back, mixed with scarlet blood.

Just one knife, and killed a Qi and Blood Realm warrior.

Even Chen Wang didn't expect it to be so easy to kill.

Compared with Hu Lao Si, he was far inferior, a Qi and Blood Realm that was as thin as paper.

"Those who give way can live."

The young man in the official robe of the yamen pulled out the steel knife from the head constable and finally spoke.
