Shangguan Yuan looked at Tang Yin and said: "The opponent only has ten soldiers. If Master wants to save them, it will be as easy as lifting his hand."

Ten ordinary soldiers. If they wanted to take the lives of these ten soldiers, it would be as easy as turning his hand. They wouldn't even let out the slightest sound.

Tang Yin put down his chopsticks, looked straight at Shangguan Yuan, and asked, "We can indeed save these two now, but this is only the tip of the iceberg, and there are still thousands of people like them who have been wronged, do you think we can even save them?"

"It's fine if you can't see, but since you saw …"

Tang Yin waved his hands, and said: "Saving people is only a way to cure the symptoms and not the root of the problem, if we want this kind of thing to not happen again, we have to get rid of Zhong Tian, now, if we only want to save two people to expose our identity, then it's not to save people, but to harm others, to harm even more innocent people."

When Shangguan Yuan heard this, he lowered his head thoughtfully and remained silent.

Tang Yin looked at him deeply, and without saying anything further, he continued to eat.

After everyone had finished eating, Shangguan Yuan finally said, "Your Excellency's words are reasonable."

Tang Yin almost laughed out loud. It was easy to understand for a person to be stubborn and inflexible, he had to think for a long time before being able to understand, this kind of person, whether in the modern or ancient times, did not have many friends, in truth, Shangguan Yuan did not have many, but Tang Yin liked Shangguan Yuan's personality very much. The more inflexible a person was, the more loyal they would be after being tamed, and even after death, they would not go back on their ways.

Two days later, Tang Yin and the others safely entered the boundaries of the Yan City.

Compared to Lehu County, Yan City was actually more peaceful. It was just that there were too many soldiers stationed outside the city. With the waving of the flags, the entire camp was a blur, and it was hard to tell where Feng Army's camp was and where Ning Jun's camp was. As they were walking on the public road, they could see from afar that a group of people were standing by the side of the road in front of them. The one who was leading them was no one else but Lu Fang.

Next to Lu Fang stood a burly man in his early thirties. He had a full beard, and his build was muscular and sturdy. It was easy to tell by a single glance that he was a practitioner. As for the others, most of them were dressed as servants, and among them were Le Tian and Ajia's subordinates.

When Tang Yin and the rest were almost to the front of Lu Fang, the latter recognized them, his face revealed a look of joy, and anxiously ran forward. Upon seeing Tang Yin, he bowed deeply, and muttered: "Master, why have you come?" Through his Sky Eye and Earth Web scouts, he already knew that Tang Yin had come here, but he felt that as the County Magistrate, it was way too dangerous for Tang Yin to personally come to the Yan City.

Tang Yin smiled at him from the horse, and said: "It is because of me that this mission can only succeed, and not fail."

"Understood!" "My Lord!" Lu Fang nodded his head, and then, he waved to the large man with the fierce appearance, and introduced Tang Yin: "Master, this is my friend, Yue Zijie!"

Tang Yin smiled at the sturdy man, who took the initiative to pay his respects, and said respectfully: "This lowly one greets Master Tang." As he spoke, he looked around cautiously and said, "This is not the place to talk. Master, you can come to my house and rest for the time being."

"Alright!"

The home that Yue Zijie was talking about was not one located within the Yan City, but a courtyard house located outside the Yan City. With him and Lu Fang leading the way, Tang Yin and the others arrived at Yue Zijie's residence outside the city. It was obvious that this person had quite a bit of wealth. When he was a bandit, he had amassed quite a bit of wealth. Even the manor that he rarely stayed in outside the city was extremely imposing.

After inviting Tang Yin into the main hall, he let him sit at the main seat, while Yue Zijie sat at the side with his hands on the side. He cupped his hands and said to Tang Yin: "This lowly one has long heard of the Master Tang's great name.

Lu Fang unhappily snorted and said: "It's not that I can't leave, it's just that you can't bear to part with your family property!"

Yue Zijie's face flushed red at his words, he rubbed his hands together and laughed dryly.

Tang Yin could tell that the friendship between him and Lu Fang was not shallow.

He asked, "How did Brother Yue and Brother Lu get to know each other?"

Mentioning this, Yue Zijie's face became even redder, and said embarrassedly: "I believe Master also knows what I did in the past, meeting a tough guy during a 'business deal', if Brother Lu had not coincidentally walked by and saved my life, I probably wouldn't be alive today."

"So that's how it is." Tang Yin nodded, he then changed the topic and asked: "You have a tunnel into Yan City City?" As he spoke, he looked straight at Yue Zijie, his two eyes flashing with a faint light.

Yue Zijie's heart froze when he saw this, and he exclaimed in his heart about the sharpness of his eyes. This County Magistrate is not an ordinary person! He swallowed her saliva, nodded, and said, "Yes, my lord, I have personally dug a tunnel leading outside the city in my own home."

"Where's the exit?"

"Right here." Yue Zijie answered honestly.

"This?" Tang Yin was startled.

Yue Zijie explained: "A large part of the reason why I'm building a house here is because I coincidentally dug my way here and built a house, so that I can hide things from others."

Tang Yin made an 'oh' sound, then laughed, this Yue Zijie was actually quite smart.

He raised his teacup, first took a whiff, then slowly drank a mouthful, and casually asked: "Since you're willing to help me this time, aren't you afraid that Zhong Tian will find out and punish you?"

Of course, Tang Yin wasn't just asking that, he was testing Yue Zijie.

Yue Zijie was born a bandit, he was very quick-witted, how could he not hear the hidden meaning behind Tang Yin's words, he anxiously replied sternly: "Since I dared to agree to help Brother Lu, then I have already mentally prepared myself, and after everything is done, I am not planning to stay in Yan City anymore, and will go with Master. Oh right, my family is already on the way to Tianyuan County, and will be escorted by Master's subordinates." The Tang Yin he spoke of was a spy from the Sky Eye and Earth Web.

Hearing this, Tang Yin looked towards Le Tian and Ai Jia's subordinates without batting an eyelid. Seeing that the latter nodded his head to indicate that what Yue Zijie said was true, Tang Yin became at ease.

was very clever at doing this. First, he sent his family members to the Tianyuan County, firstly, he could avoid disasters, and secondly, dispel Tang Yin's wariness. He was giving his family members to Tang Yin as hostages, in order to prove that he had no evil intentions. Otherwise, when he told Tang Yin the secret passage, the latter would very likely kill him or even his entire family, to prevent future troubles.

His caution was not unreasonable, and Tang Yin was indeed able to do such a thing.

Receiving the confirmation from the Subordinate, Tang Yin smiled upwards, and said: "Alright, I don't know how the Yan City will turn into a mess in the future, I'll send my family members to the Tianyuan County to hide for a while, at least my life is safe. If this matter succeeds, I will heavily reward you. In the future, when I return to Yan City, I will also not forget about your contributions. "

"Oh, thank you, my lord!" Yue Zijie stood up immediately and bowed to the ground.

Tang Yin looked at Yue Zijie, whose surface was extremely rough but extremely meticulous, and nodded with a smile.

Yue Zijie hid his passage very well. The exit to the city was right under the kitchen stove in the house. If one hid in this place, it would be hard to find even if the soldiers came to search.

With Yue Zijie leading the way, Tang Yin and the rest entered the tunnel.

The tunnel was narrow and only one person could walk inside. It was dark inside, without any light. Fortunately, everyone had prepared torches.

"Elder, the tunnel is wet. Pay attention to your feet and slide down." Yue Zijie walked in front and reminded Tang Yin who was behind by the road.

When he turned around to look at Tang Yin, he was shocked. Due to the darkness, he was not able to see Tang Yin's facial features clearly, instead he saw his pair of green Night-vision Eye s that were flashing with a strange light. If he did not confirm that he was a person, he would have suspected that he had seen a ghost.

The spirit shivered, Yue Zijie quickly turned his head back and secretly spat out.

Halfway through the journey, the tunnel became even more humid. Moreover, water started to seep out from the top of the tunnel. The dripping rain made everyone's face and body look extremely uncomfortable. Yue Zijie explained: "This is the moat above, so there will be seepage. After this period, everything will be fine."

Tang Yin did not reply, but in his heart, he was secretly shocked, although the tunnel was very simple and crude, to be able to cross the moat, it could be said that the deep underground was already considered a huge project, and no one actually discovered anything about such a huge project. He did not know if he should say that Yue Zijie's ability was strong, or if he should say that his luck was good.

After walking for more than an hour, they had finally reached the exit.

When they came out of the tunnel, they saw a light in front of them. It was Yue Zijie's bedroom in the house in the city, and the entrance to the underground tunnel was right under the bed.

Yue Zijie looked at Tang Yin smilingly and said: "Master, this is my mansion in the city!"

The tunnel was incredibly mysterious. Everyone who was outside the city a moment ago had entered the city in the blink of an eye. It was as if they had passed through time and space.

Yue Zijie's family had all left, the servants had all left, and other than his trusted Domestic Servant, there was no one else. The huge house seemed to be empty.

Everyone gathered in Yue Zijie's room, and Tang Yin asked, "Are Liang, Wu, and Zi Yang's people still locked in Zhong Tian's house?"

"Yes, my lord!" The spy under Le Tian's command nodded in agreement.

"Do you have a map of the Zhong Residence?"

"We can only draw the periphery. Because the defenses are too tight, we can't get in, and we can't figure out the structure inside." Ai Jia's subordinate took out a map from her chest pocket and respectfully handed it over to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin received it and unfurled it, then immediately shook his head. This map was too general, it only had a general structure, and the details had not been drawn, he said thoughtfully: "Before we make a move, we must grasp the detailed terrain of the Zhong Residence, if not, we don't even know where to save the person, how can we make the appropriate preparations?!"

"Lord, let's go scout again!" Sky Eye and Earth Web's spy said in unison.

If he were to probe further, he might not be able to find any more important information. Tang Yin rolled his eyes, waved his hand and said: "No need, after it gets dark, I'll go find someone to help me."
