From inside the tent came the terrified and pained cries of a woman and the tyrannical laughter of a man. The guard guarding the door could not help but swallow his saliva. He said to the other guard, "Master is too ferocious. I wonder if those girls tomorrow are still alive." The other guard chuckled strangely and said, "Do you want to try it too?" The guard smiled and said, "Don't you want to?"

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind the two of them. The two were shocked when they saw the black shadow behind the other person. However, before they could even react, the shadow behind them had already covered their mouths and noses to end their lives. The two of them went to the underworld to have a dream.

After Chen Lang and his men dealt with the guards at the entrance of the big tent, they immediately ran into the big tent. Under the illumination of the dim light, there was a scene that was unbearable to look at. A middle-aged man who was as strong as a cow was currently torturing three naked young women on the bed. The three young women had their hair in a disheveled state and wounds all over their bodies.

Chen Lang frowned, he rushed to the side of the bed in quick steps.

The sturdy middle-aged man suddenly felt someone running to the bedside and was taken aback. "What the hell is he doing? Get out! " He thought the person who suddenly rushed in was one of his subordinates.

Chen Lang extended his left hand and grabbed the middle aged man's hair. With a tug, the tugging force was extremely strong, the middle aged man could not control his body, and with a thump, he fell down onto the bed. The middle-aged man was confused and angry as he shouted, "You! What are you doing?!"

Chen Lang was too lazy to waste words with him, he grabbed his hair with his left hand and hacked down with his blade in his right hand. With a kacha sound, the middle aged man's head fell off.

Chen Lang threw the head away. Looking at the three terrified girls that were shivering in a corner of the bed, he could not help but sigh, "Put on your clothes and hide here. No matter what happens outside, don't go out." Chen Lang then ran out of the tent and ordered his men to release a signal rocket. A moment later, a small ball of flame rose into the night sky from the camp.

Some of the members of the Pingping Sect were confused by the sight of the rising flames in the camp. At this moment, flames suddenly sprung up from all over the camp and quickly spread out. Shouts and screams rang out, and the members of the Pingping Cult were jolted awake and rushed out of their tents. Just then, a shout came from an unknown place in the chaos: "Master is dead! Master is dead! " The members of the Pacification Sect were extremely frightened and became even more flustered.

Suddenly, cries of alarm and misery came from the west. Someone shouted in an extremely terrified voice, "This is bad! The enemy has charged in! " The members of the True Peace Sect jumped in fright. They hurriedly looked to the west, only to astonishingly see countless enemies rushing in like tigers and wolves under the light of the fire. The members of the Church of Peace were already in a state of panic and chaos. But now that they saw the enemy army charge in, they were scared out of their wits and scattered in all directions. Guan Yu and Gan Ning led the nearly six hundred Sailfish s to rush into the enemy camp, bravely advancing as if there was no one around.

By the time the sun rose from the east, the battle was over. The campsite of the Cult of Peace was a mess. Corpses were strewn all over the ground, and hundreds of captives were crouching on the ground with expressions of fear and unease on their faces. In this battle, Chen Lang's group had defeated almost five thousand Taiping Church s, killed more than a thousand, captured nearly two thousand people, and sent the rest fleeing in all directions. Chen Lang said to the captives: "Those who are willing to join us can join us, but those who are unwilling to join us. In the end, almost seven hundred people chose to join the Sailfish, and the rest went back home with the fare.

That night, Chen Lang and Guan Yu was drinking wine and chatting in the main hall of the county Yamen.

Guan Yu said in admiration: "I have never seen Brother Chen with courage before, I truly admire you!" Gan Ning laughed and said: "Brother Guan does not know, the abilities of our wolf brother does not stop at that!"

Chen Lang asked Guan Yu, "Where do you plan to go after this?"

Guan Yu took a big gulp of wine and said: "I want to go to Youzhou's Zhuang County to seek refuge with a relative of mine."

Chen Lang's heart moved, then he remembered the history of the famous' Three Alliances in the Peach Garden ', and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, you and I have the same thoughts at first sight, there's no need to go to any other place, just stay here." Gan Ning immediately said: "That's right, that's right. Brother Guan, why do you want to leave? Wouldn't it be great if we had a big bowl of wine and pieces of meat!? "

Guan Yu could not help but be moved, he hesitated for a moment, then looked at the two of them: "I am also not willing to leave Big Brother Chen and Brother Gan Ning, let's stay!"

Chen Lang and Gan Ning were overjoyed, Chen Lang said: "That's great, I have another good brother!" Guan Yu could not help but be moved, he cupped his fists and said: "Being able to get to know big brother Chen and brother Gan Ning, is really a blessing I cultivated in my previous life!"

Chen Lang patted Guan Yu's shoulder, and laughed: "Come, come, let's drink!" The three of them continued to drink and talk about the matters of the world. Guan Yu put down the bowl of wine and asked Chen Lang: "Big brother Chen, what should we do next? Do you want to give up this county town? "

Chen Lang could not make up his mind, and asked: "What do you think, Yun Wei?"

Guan Yu said: "We should not have given up on this city. Although this county city is not big, it can be used as a place for us to settle down. It is also a place for us to start, so how can we give it up so easily? " Gan Ning immediately agreed.

Chen Lang thought for a while: "What Cloud Elder said makes sense, but the government will definitely not sit idly by and watch us occupy this place." He raised his head and looked at the two brothers, and said: "With our current strength, not to mention fighting the officials, even fighting with the Taiping Road would be far from our reach." Only then did the two of them think of this question and could not help but frown. Gan Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: I got it! wolf brother. We can send people to the city to bribe those eunuchs, those eunuchs will definitely grant us this untouchable county if they accept the bribes. Were we then justified in our own right? "

Chen Lang nodded his head as he thought about it, he felt that this was the only viable option at the moment, so speaking of giving up on this town, Chen Lang felt that it was really a pity. Guan Yu remained silent. Guan Yu was a straightforward person, according to his original intentions, he would definitely not be willing to bribe others, but he felt that this was the only way.

Chen Lang smiled and said to Gan Ning: "Since you're the one who suggested this, then I'll leave this matter to you." Gan Ning cupped his fists and said: "I will set off tomorrow."

Time flew. Unknowingly, it was already approaching the Spring Festival. After Gan Ning and his group left for a few months, they finally returned. Seeing this piece of land that belonged to them, Gan Ning and the others couldn't help but feel extremely excited.

As the group of people entered the county city, what they saw made Gan Ning and the others extremely shocked. The dilapidated town had actually been renovated to a more beautiful appearance. The streets that were once filled with pedestrians were now filled with a bustling scene of prosperity and liveliness. What … what is going on? Is this a random county? " Gan Ning muttered with his eyes wide open. None of his subordinates dared to answer this question, because they themselves had the same question.

The group of people arrived in front of the county magistrate. Only at this time did Gan Ning confirm that he was not in the wrong place, because the county magistrate was still in that state. Someone had already informed Chen Lang about his return. Chen Lang quickly walked out and saw Gan Ning, and said happily: "You're finally back, I'm just anxiously waiting for your return!" Gan Ning cupped his fists and said: "I have done everything!" Chen Lang said: "Let's talk inside." A few people walked into the hall. Gan Ning took out the letter from his chest pocket, passed it to Chen Lang, and said: "A thousand silver coins in exchange for this kind of thing. Those dog eunuchs really don't eat people!"

Chen Lang took a look at the letter and saw the words: Country citizen Chen Lang is loyal to the country, he helped the country get rid of adultery and took revenge for the country. He has contributed a lot, the imperial court has adhered to the principle of reward and punishment, and specially bestowed upon Chen Lang the title of Lushan River County's Sima Mo. He hoped that he would feel the gratitude of the imperial government and continue to work hard to protect the territory of the imperial government. The Imperial Jade Seal had been added to the text.

Chen Lang nodded his head, and laughed: "With this appointment letter, we do not need to worry about the authorities finding trouble with us anymore. This thousand taels of silver was worth it. Xing Ba, you've worked hard. "

Gan Ning laughed: "What's so difficult about that, it's just running back and forth." After looking around and not seeing Guan Yu, he asked: "Where is Brother Guan?" Chen Lang said, "Cloud Elder is currently outside the city training our soldiers. We already have three thousand men now. " Gan Ning was overjoyed, "So many?" Chen Lang smiled and nodded, then joked: "We cannot be called the Sailfish anymore, we can only be called the officials." Gan Ning laughed, then thought about what he saw when he entered the city, and could not help but ask: "wolf brother, why did our city become like this, I almost did not recognize it!"

Chen Lang laughed: "Because we are able to maintain the safety of this place, all of the surrounding citizens have gathered here, so naturally, it will not be as good as it was before." Gan Ning nodded his head, and laughed: "That's good!"

Chen Lang asked: "Do you want to see our army?" Gan Ning's eyes immediately lit up, and said loudly: Of course I want to! "I will not do these trivial things from now on, it's better for me to lead the army!"

The two came out of the county magistrate's office, mounted their horses, and rode out of the city under the protection of a troop of soldiers. Chen Lang asked, "What rank is this county's Sima? What are you doing? " Gan Ning said: "They are the ones in charge of the military affairs of the entire county. They usually only care about matters such as robbing and exterminating bandits."
