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

Duan Tianyang had a sly smile on his face as he approached Meiru step by step.

The latter was so frightened that his face turned pale. He instinctively retreated back, put his hands on his chest, and stammered, "What...what do you want to do?"

Before he finished speaking, Duan Tianyang slapped the wall behind him, pressed his whole body against Meiru, and said with a grin, "I'm afraid that after learning from you, the foreign language I speak will sound like a country bumpkin!"

After saying this, he laughed loudly towards the sky, then turned around and strode into the city.

Mei Ru immediately understood his intention. He was not only teasing her, but also laughing at herself.

She stamped her feet angrily and shouted at Duan Tianyang's receding figure, "What do you mean by talking about country bumpkins all day long?"

The only response she got was Duan Tianyang's laughter which faded away.

Duan Tianyang returned to the City Guard Mansion and ran into Lu Panpan as soon as he entered the door.

Originally, her little face was filled with a happy smile, but when she saw Meiru behind Duan Tianyang, the smile froze instantly.

She raised her hand and pointed at Mei Ru, asking in astonishment, "Didn't this foreign girl leave? Why is she still here?"

"Hmph, my current identity is a distinguished guest. From today on, I will live here permanently." Mei Ru paced, strode past Duan Tianyang with her head held high, and walked in front of Lu Panpan with a calm demeanor.

She glanced at Lu Panpan with a hint of disdain in her eyes, then walked past her arrogantly.

Lu Panpan watched Meiru's back gradually disappearing, and asked anxiously, "Master Duan, how come she suddenly became your honored guest? Wasn't she the captive you captured from the Western Fan Kingdom?"

Duan Tianyang looked at Lu Panpan's anxious expression, sighed softly, and explained helplessly: "She will live here for the time being. As for the reason, it is not convenient for me to reveal it to you!" There was an unspeakable bitterness in his words.

After that, Duan Tianyang turned and walked towards Xiao Hong, whispering: "Xiao Hong, you are responsible for arranging their rooms. Remember not to let them live together."

Looking at the way they are acting like sheep, if they were to live together, wouldn't they have to tear down the city guard house?

In fact, the two of them had already experienced a "fierce battle" in the guest room, but Duan Tianyang didn't know it.

Duan Tianyang's night attack on the Qinba tribe completely wiped out the name Qinba from the territory of the Western Fan Kingdom.

After this battle, Duan Tianyang's reputation spread throughout the Xiguan area, and the Xiguan City, which was originally only populated by merchants, suddenly became bustling with people.

Heroes from all over the world come here in droves, hoping to realize their ambitions.

In just three days, Xiguan City recruited more than a thousand new soldiers, and Xiao Fang, Guan Hu and others were extremely busy.

Guan Hu was busy forming a new recruit camp, selecting elite veterans to serve as instructors and training new recruits.

Xiao Fang was busy expanding the Hongxing Society, selecting elites, and strengthening the strength of each hall.

In an instant, the Xiguan City, which had once been at the mercy of others, seemed to have been reborn from the ashes. Its military strength increased sharply from more than a thousand people to three thousand, becoming strong and powerful.

At the same time, Yunzhong City also underwent a huge change.

Lü Yun, the city guard chief of Xihui City, and Gao Qiang, the commander of Mingfeng City, joined forces and gathered soldiers from the two main cities to jointly besiege Zhang Tao's rebels in Yunzhong City.

There was a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, with the main city's army numbering nearly 15,000, while the rebels only had 3,000.

Although the rebels tried their best, they still found it difficult to withstand the fierce attack on the main city.

The fierce battle lasted from morning to evening, and finally the rebels' defense line was broken, and the main city's troops poured into Yunzhong City like a tide.

The fighting in the city continued until late at night, and the rebels suffered heavy casualties due to being outnumbered.

Finally, Zhang Tao led more than a thousand defeated soldiers to escape from Yunzhong City and fled towards Xiguan City.

It was already the next morning when Zhang Tao fled to the front of Xiguan City with his remaining troops.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall immediately rang the gong to sound a warning.

A large number of soldiers quickly rushed out from the nearby barracks, climbed up the city wall fully armed, and drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the rebels outside the city gate.

Upon hearing the news, Duan Tianyang, Xiao Fang and others quickly rushed to the North City and climbed up the city gate to check the situation.

Looking into the distance, Duan Tianyang discovered that the rebels outside the city were under the banner of Zhang Tao. There were not many of them, only about a thousand.

The soldiers were in a disheveled state, covered in blood, and their morale was low.

Zhu Wu looked at the scene outside the city and couldn't help wondering, "Brother Tian, ​​this army looks more like a defeated army. Could it be that Zhang Tao and his men have been driven out of Yunzhong City?"

Duan Tianyang also felt that something was fishy and decided to go out of the city to find out the truth.

He then walked quickly down the city gate tower, took a warhorse from a soldier, and ordered the city gate to be opened.

Guan Hu and others also mounted their horses and followed Duan Tianyang out of the city.

When they got outside the city, they saw several riders from the opposing rebel army coming towards them. The leader was Zhang Tao.

Where is the Zhang Tao in front of us, who has the charm of the past?

The once shining silver helmet was gone, replaced by bloodstains on the armor and many tears on the clothes.

His face was haggard and gray, and covered in dust and dirt.

Looking around, everyone was in the same miserable state.

Duan Tianyang looked at all this, his eyes full of confusion: "Brother Zhang, what happened to you?"

Zhang Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Duan, I, Zhang, have been completely defeated today. I came here for only one thing."

Duan Tianyang frowned and waited for his next words.

"I'm here to ask Brother Duan for help." Zhang Tao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Just yesterday, Xihui City and Mingfeng City joined forces to attack our Yunzhong City. Although we tried our best, the gap in strength between the enemy and us was too great. Now, my brothers and I have nowhere to escape, so we can only come here. I hope Brother Duan can give us a way out."

After saying that, Zhang Tao dismounted from his horse, lifted up his blood-stained robe, and knelt on one knee.

The people around followed suit and knelt on the ground.

Duan Tianyang quickly jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Zhang Tao's side, and carefully helped him up, with a hint of urgency in his tone: "Brother Zhang, get up quickly, I really can't bear you like this."

Zhang Tao showed a resolute look. He whispered, "It is not a pity for me, Zhang Tao, to die, but I cannot let my brothers who have been with me for many years be buried with me. I only ask Brother Duan to give them a chance to survive, so that they can pass through Xiguan City and escape to the foreign land to avoid the disaster. I am willing to offer my head to thank Brother Duan for his extraordinary kindness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tao suddenly reached out and pulled out the sword from his ribs, and placed it across his neck.

Duan Tianyang reacted quickly, stretched out two fingers to firmly clamp Zhang Tao's sword blade, and then pushed it outward.

With a crisp sound, the sword in Zhang Tao's hand flew out at an angle and finally landed not far away.
