The morning of the second day, Chen Lang and Gan Ning brought six hundred men and left the water stronghold, and headed towards Wuwei County on the east road in preparation of looting the government officials there. Gan Ning's goal this time was to rob the water stronghold and the surrounding commoners for their money and bedding to survive the winter, but Chen Lang's goal was a bit deeper. Chen Lang hoped to obtain the resources to expand the ranks.

Chen Lang already knew the specific time of the era he was currently in, and it should have been the year before Disorder of yellow napkin arrived. Chen Lang hoped that when Disorder of yellow napkin arrived, he could gather a large amount of strong energy and create a territory of his own in this chaotic world.

The six hundred men drove towards Wuwei County in a grandiose manner. The passersby couldn't help but gasp in surprise when they saw the group of men in black moving so fast and valiantly. They all thought that they were the legendary Emperor Yu Lin army that came from the capital to exterminate bandits. According to their thoughts, if it weren't for the legendary invincible Yulin Army, how could they have such a terrifying aura, and how could they have such strict discipline!? At this time, even the commoners who had seen the Sailfish before could not recognize this group of people.

The team arrived at a wilderness area about 20 miles away from Wuwei County. The scouts also reported that the refugees were besieging the government officials not too far ahead.

Chen Lang and Gan Ning immediately led their men and rushed forward, climbing up a hill. The view before them suddenly opened up, and not far away at the bottom of the mountain, thousands of people with hoes and rakes in their hands, were currently surrounding and attacking a thousand black-armored soldiers, although the soldiers were well-equipped, they were actually being attacked by the citizens, and had suffered heavy casualties. They were retreating, and were in a precarious situation! Chen Lang could not help but frown: "Why is Korean Army's fighting strength so weak!" Gan Ning asked: "wolf brother, are we going to get involved?"

Chen Lang shook his head: "No!" Just then, Chen Lang noticed that a lot of the commoners had their foreheads covered with yellow cloth. He could not help but point and ask: "Why are those commoners covered with yellow cloth? Does it belong to a certain mountain stronghold? "

Chen Lang's heart was moved, "Taiping Road? You mean the Taiping Road that Zhang Jiao created? "

Gan Ning nodded his head, "He's Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road." He looked at the people at the bottom of the mountain and said: "From the looks of it, these people seem to be disciples of the Taiping Road."

Chen Lang thought for a moment, then said to Gan Ning: "We will detour around here, and directly head to Wu Wei County." Gan Ning replied, and immediately gave the order, causing six hundred men to circle past the fighting grounds and straight towards Wu Wei County! Before they could even enter the city, they saw a group of soldiers escorting a large and small number of vehicles out of the city.

Gan Ning shouted loudly, "This must be an official!" He turned and looked at Chen Lang.

Chen Lang waved his hand, and Gan Ning immediately led his hundred men to rush forward. When the soldiers saw many fierce men in black clothing rushing towards them, they became frightened and immediately scattered, leaving all the vehicles behind.

Gan Ning immediately ordered everyone to surround the carriage, and immediately, Gan Ning shouted to the largest and most luxurious carriage: "Listen up, grandfather is Gan Ning, if you do not want to die, immediately get out here!" A stout middle-aged man scrambled out of the carriage and onto the ground, begging for mercy, "Spare me, scoundrel! Spare me, scoundrel!" "Good men, please accept the wealth here. I only ask that you forgive me!"

Gan Ning looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man trembled in fear: "I-I'm the county's magistrate."

Gan Ning opened his eyes, "Then I will not forgive you!" As he spoke, he chopped towards the middle-aged man's head. Seeing that, Chen Lang immediately spoke out to stop his, but right at that moment, a man with a red beard rushed out from behind the carriage and slashed at Gan Ning, he shouted: "Scoundrel, don't be crazy!" Chen Lang was shocked, and anxiously shouted: "Be careful!"

Seeing that the other party was attacking ferociously, Gan Ning could not continue attacking the County Official, so he quickly kept his scimitar to defend. In that moment, with a loud pa sound, both sides' blades clashed together. Gan Ning felt a huge force rushing towards him, he was shocked, he could not stand, and retreated a few steps. The burly man didn't let anyone off the hook. He let out a roar and walked up. He looked like a primal beast with a frightening aura. With Chen Lang's determination, he could not help but be shocked, and inwardly exclaimed: Good fellow! Who was this! How powerful!

The big sized man brandished his blade and attacked Gan Ning consecutively, and Gan Ning retaliated with all his might. Unknowingly, they had already fought for fifty rounds, and although it was a tie, but the big sized man had clearly gained the upper hand in terms of momentum, causing Gan Ning to be unable to continue fighting.

Chen Lang suddenly shouted: "Stop!" The two of them could not help but stop their battle and retreat.

In front of his chest, the big sized man looked at Gan Ning with a surprised expression. Gan Ning stared at the big size man with a fierce expression, but was extremely shocked in his heart. It had to be known that Gan Ning had never met an opponent when he was running amuck before. Most people couldn't even take one of his moves, but the strength of this burly man he met today seemed to have slightly surpassed his own. How could this not cause him to be shocked!

The big sized man looked at Chen Lang and shouted: "Scoundrel, how dare you!

Chen Lang smiled: "The imperial court ordered officials to harm the common people, should we kill them? I heard that Guan Yu fell into poverty because of this! " The man's expression changed as he looked at Chen Lang in disbelief, "You, you …"

Seeing the big size man's expression, Chen Lang knew he guessed right. He somersaulted down from the horse and cupped his fists towards Guan Yu, and said: "I had long heard that Guan Yu Guan Yun was a righteous man who hated evil, but why did he stand up for such an official?"

Chen Lang laughed and said, "If Yun Che doesn't believe me, you can go to the city and find a random commoner to ask. Let's see who is the real culprit behind this dog official's words." He then pointed at the cars filled with gold, silver, and jewelry silk, saying, "Look, Cloud Head, these cars are filled with gold, silver, and jewelry silk. If he is not a dog officer that will harm the common people, then where did he get these things from?"

Guan Yu opened his eyes and looked at the county magistrate. The county magistrate couldn't help but shiver when he saw the young man's sharp gaze. Guan Yu pointed to the carts of silks, silk, gold, silver, and jewelry and asked: "Where did you get these?" The County Magistrate was scared out of his wits and stuttered, unable to speak. Guan Yu was enraged, and scolded: "Dog Officer!" After that, he used his sword to chop off the head of the county magistrate, causing the headless corpse to fall into the dust. The County Magistrate's lackeys were all frightened out of their wits. They all kneeled down and begged for mercy, their heads shaking like garlic. Guan Yu shouted at them: "This matter has nothing to do with you, all of you leave." When everyone heard this, it was as if they had been granted amnesty. One by one, they expressed their gratitude and ran off as if they were escaping.

Guan Yu turned around and cupped his fists: "Sorry about that! "May I have your name please?" Chen Lang cupped his fists and said: "My name is Chen Lang." Then he pointed to Gan Ning, "This is my brother, Gan Ning." Gan Ning cupped his fists at Guan Yu: "Brother Guan is so talented!" Guan Yu laughed: "Brother Gan Ning's martial arts are also extraordinary!"

Chen Lang said, "Senior Yun, why not come with us to distribute the money and food to the poor people in the city?" Guan Yu was greatly surprised, he used a scrutinizing gaze to look at Chen Lang, and asked: "You guys are actually willing to pull out the money and grains to help the poor?" Gan Ning snappily retorted: "Brother Guan, you are looking down on us for saying this! Although we are thieves, the number of civilians that we have rescued in the past few years doesn't even reach a hundred thousand, it's at least eighty thousand! "

Guan Yu could not help but feel deep respect, bowing as he said, "I never thought you two would be so righteous, I was too rude earlier!"

The group of people brought the gold and silver treasures they had seized from the county magistrate into the town. When the commoners heard that the Sailfish had come, they rushed out of their hiding place and welcomed them. When Guan Yu saw this scene, he could not help but exclaim in praise. In his heart, he couldn't help but feel admiration for Chen Lang. A few of the Sailfish's underlings along the street shouted, "All citizens listen up, go to the county magistrate court and split up the food and silver! …" The commoners cheered and ran towards the yamen.

Chen Lang swept his eyes across the ancient city in front of him and could not help but feel a little disappointed. The city in front of him was completely different from the ancient city he had imagined, it was extremely dilapidated, the houses on both sides of the street were all dilapidated, they did not have any kind of ancient scent, it was clearly like a beggar's nest. However, from this, it could be seen that the people of this era had become destitute. It was no wonder that chaos would break out in the near future, causing a glorious empire standing in the east to collapse in an instant!

When Chen Lang and the others arrived at the county magistrate area, they immediately opened the official warehouse. It was hard to imagine that the official warehouse was so full, but the people outside were so bitter. Guan Yu could not help but scold in anger: "These officials are truly villains to the common people!"

Chen Lang laughed coldly: "Isn't the government always like this?" After that, he ordered some people to move out the rice grains to feed them. In front of the yamen, there was a sea of people. When the commoners saw the white grains, they all beamed with happiness.

Two hours later, most of the food and money had been distributed, leaving a large amount behind. Just then, the spies rushed over and reported, "wolf brother, Big Brother Gan, the people from Taiping Road have defeated the officials and are rushing over here!"

Guan Yu frowned, and said: "This is not good! The people here will definitely suffer! " Chen Lang was surprised to hear this, and asked: "The people of Taiping Road are also commoners, could it be that they will bring harm to other commoners?"
