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

Guan Hu took over the conversation, glanced at the gold medal on his waist, and said to Huang Guoan: "Sir Huang, the name Tian Ge is not a casual name. Did you notice the tokens on us?"

Huang Guoan looked carefully and saw that Duan Tianyang had a jade medal hanging around his waist, while Guan Hu, Xiao Fang and others were wearing gold medals.

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is this?"

Guan Hu explained: "This is the token of our Hongxing Society. Only brothers who have joined the Hongxing Society are qualified to call him Brother Tian. If you have not joined, it may be more appropriate to call him Lord Duan."

Huang Guoan's expression straightened up, and he said to Duan Tianyang: "Brother Tian, ​​can I join the Hongxing Society?"

Duan Tianyang smiled and said slowly: "Hongxing Society only recruits people who are loyal."

The hidden meaning of his words was that when Zhao Kang died in battle, Huang Guoan chose to flee to Xiguan City with his soldiers.

Huang Guoan's face flushed as he explained, "Brother Tian, ​​Guoan is definitely not a cowardly, heartless, or ungrateful person. If it weren't for the more than a thousand brothers below me, I would rather die on the battlefield with Lord Zhao than live in disgrace. My death is not a pity, but I just don't want the brothers below to sacrifice in vain..."

At the end of his speech, his voice trembled and tears welled up in his eyes.

Duan Tianyang has seen too many different kinds of people in modern society, and can tell a person's sincerity or falsehood at a glance.

He didn't say anything more, but stood up and said in a firm tone: "Okay! Guoan, from now on, you are a member of the Hongxing Society and will temporarily serve as the deputy head of the Bishui Hall!"

The head of Bishuitang is Xiao Hong. In Duan Tianyang's opinion, Xiao Hong is still a half-grown child. Adding Huang Guoan can just make up for Xiao Hong's lack of leadership ability and allow her to learn and grow faster.

The fall of Yunzhong City was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Xiguan City, as if a time bomb was buried next to it.

However, with the remnants of the Yunzhong City soldiers led by Huang Guoan coming to surrender, the dilemma of insufficient troops in Xiguan City was unexpectedly solved.

This may be what the old saying goes, "Good fortune lies behind misfortune, and misfortune lies behind good fortune!"

While everyone was discussing in the lobby, a soldier rushed in in a panic and interrupted their conversation.

He reported anxiously: "Brother Tian, ​​a large number of rebels suddenly appeared outside the city. Judging from their movements, they seem to want to attack the city!"

This sentence was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on Duan Tianyang.

Guan Hu frowned and immediately asked, "How many rebels are there?"

The soldier replied: "At least two or three thousand people!"

This number made everyone present feel pressured, and they all looked at Duan Tianyang at the same time.

Duan Tianyang seemed exceptionally calm. He gently put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, go out and see what's going on!"

Everyone climbed up the city gate tower and looked outside, only to see the rebels standing in formation outside the city, with a neat array and a murderous atmosphere.

Looking from a distance, they looked like a black cloud, dense and oppressive.

Since the rebels have taken control of Cloud City, the armory naturally became theirs.

At this moment, their equipment was no different from that of the defenders of Xiguan City. They were wearing bright armor, holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, with swords hanging from their waists, crossbows under their ribs, and longbows and quivers on their backs.

The flags they held high mostly had the symbol of "God", among which were many flags with the word "Zhang".

While Duan Tianyang and others were observing intently, a group of cavalry walked out of the rebel camp, and the leading knight was particularly conspicuous.

He was wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, with a scarlet cloak behind him. A long sword was hanging on the victory hook on the saddle, and he looked very imposing.

This group of knights broke away from the rebel formation and headed straight for the gate of Xiguan City.

When they were only a hundred steps away from the city gate, Zhu Wu did not wait for Duan Tianyang's order, but quickly took out his bow and arrow, locked onto the knights outside the city, and suddenly released an arrow.

Bang!

The target of this arrow was not the knight, but a point on the ground.

The arrow pierced deeply into the soil with a crisp sound, and the white feathers at the tail of the arrow buzzed in the vibration.

The sudden arrow caused the knights to pull the reins of their horses. Several horses stopped in an orderly manner at a distance of an arrow from the city gate, roaring and pacing back and forth anxiously.

The knight in silver helmet and armor steadied his horse, then raised his hand and saluted in the direction of the city wall.

Duan Tianyang, who had read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" a lot, naturally understood the meaning of it.

With a cynical smile on his face, he immediately ordered: "Bring my white dragon horse here."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Fang, Guan Hu, Cao Ge, and Jin Bao said almost at the same time: "Brother Tian, ​​I'm going too!"

Duan Tianyang did not refuse. He led the four people down the city gate tower and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

As the city gate slowly opened, Duan Tianyang and four other men jumped on their horses, rushed out of the city gate, and faced the cavalry team head-on.

In a blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was shortened to three meters. Duan Tianyang and the other four reined in their horses in time, and at the same time observed the other side, who was also examining them.

The silver-armored knight leaned forward slightly on his horse and clasped his hands together in greeting. His eyes were fixed on Duan Tianyang's face, and he said respectfully, "My name is Zhang Tao. May I ask your name?"

"Duan Tianyang, commander of the Xiguan City Camp." Duan Tianyang's expression remained calm as he reported his identity calmly.

His face remained calm, but he thought to himself: It turns out that this person is the culprit who started the rebellion in Yunzhong City!

"Master Duan, nice to meet you!" Zhang Tao's face was filled with joy. He said loudly, "I have heard that Master Duan's skills in the treasure hunting competition in Xuanhuang City were extraordinary and admirable. Seeing him today, I found that his handsome appearance is even more impressive!"

Duan Tianyang laughed in his heart: Tsk, everyone knows that I am handsome, you are the only one who knows it just now!

But his face remained expressionless, and he responded modestly: "Master Zhang, you are too kind."

Zhang Tao restrained his smile and said seriously, "Lord Duan showed his prowess in the treasure hunting competition and saved the princess, but in the end he only got the position of the head of the border camp. This court is really corrupt, and Yi Tian is extremely incompetent. Lord Duan, why do you still want to be loyal to such a court and such a monarch?"

Duan Tianyang sighed deep in his heart. He didn't know whether Yi Tian was really incompetent, but he knew very well that he was transferred to Xiguan City. This was just what he reaped.

At first, he felt deeply regretful, but now, he has changed his mind.

Outside Xuanhuang City, far away from the center of power, he felt unprecedented freedom and ease.

So, he deliberately showed a confused expression and asked Zhang Tao: "Then, according to Mr. Zhang's opinion, what should I do?"
