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

That night, after it got dark, Duan Tianyang rode alone on horseback and arrived at the gate of Bai Qi’s camp.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qi’s camp was well-organized and quite large.

A solid earth wall was built around the camp, with deep trenches dug under the wall and chevaux de frise in front of the trenches.

Duan Tianyang looked up and saw rebel sentries with torches held high patrolling on the earth wall, and from time to time there were rebel patrols passing by in groups.

Duan Tianyang was impressed by the fact that a businessman was so proficient in setting up camps. He slowly rode his horse forward.

When he was less than ten meters away from the camp gate, suddenly a sound of breaking wind came from the camp wall, followed by a crisp snap from the ground.

Duan Tianyang looked carefully and saw an arrow firmly nailed in front of the horse's hoof, and the white feathers were trembling in the wind.

He calmly pulled the reins and stopped.

"Who is coming?" A loud shout echoed in the night from the top of the village wall.

Duan Tianyang raised his head and responded, "I am Duan Tianyang, the Lord of Yunzhong City. I want to see Boss Bai for something. Please inform him."

The other side of the village wall fell into a long silence. Duan Tianyang could faintly hear tiny whispers, as if someone was trying to guess his intentions.

After a long time, the other party's voice came slowly: "How many soldiers did you bring with you this time?"

Duan Tianyang smiled slightly and answered frankly: "It's just me."

After a while, a rocket suddenly shot out from the wall of the village. Its target was not Duan Tianyang, but passed over his head and shot behind him.

Rockets streaked across the night sky, the flames illuminating the surroundings and also reflecting the empty and deserted scene behind Duan Tianyang. Indeed, he was alone on this trip, without any soldiers accompanying him.

"Please wait a moment. I will go back and report this to the camp!"

Duan Tianyang expressed his gratitude to the other party, then he gently stroked the mane of the horse under him without saying anything else.

Not long after, the gate in front slowly opened, and a group of rebels holding weapons and wearing uniform armor rushed out aggressively.

It can be seen that the businessman Bai Qi is quite wealthy and has equipped his men quite well.

Their men all wore uniform armor, held a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, and many were also equipped with bows and arrows.

At this time, a burly man walked out from the rebel team, bowed to Duan Tianyang and said, "Master Duan, why are you visiting me so late at night?"

Duan Tianyang looked at the big man, felt the pressure emanating from him, and asked, "Are you Boss Bai?"

The big man replied, "My name is Gongning. If Lord Duan has anything to say, please let me know and I will pass it on to my master."

After hearing this, Duan Tianyang frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "I only want to negotiate directly with Boss Bai. Since he doesn't want to see me, forget it. Bye!"

As he said this, he prepared to turn his horse around and leave.

Seeing Duan Tianyang was about to leave, Gong Ning raised his hand to stop him and said, "Master Duan, wait a moment!"

Duan Tianyang turned his head and looked at him puzzledly.

Gong Ning pondered for a moment, and finally turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation to Duan Tianyang, and said: "Master Duan, please follow me into the camp for a chat."

Duan Tianyang showed a sly smile, steered the horse lightly, and walked into the camp.

Although he was surrounded by rebel soldiers ready to go, he sat leisurely on his horse, with a firm gaze and a calm expression, as if this was not an enemy camp but his own territory.

Gong Ning silently observed Duan Tianyang from the side, secretly applauding him in his heart.

He had long heard that the new Lord of Yunzhong City, Duan Tianyang, was a young hero with a handsome appearance. After seeing him today, he found that his reputation was indeed well-deserved.

Afterwards, Gong Ning led Duan Tianyang to a tent and said, "Master Duan, please wait here for a moment. I will go in and report."

After that, he walked into the tent. After a while, Gong Ning walked out of the tent, waved to Duan Tianyang and said, "Master Duan, my master wants to see you."

Duan Tianyang nodded slightly and then stepped into the tent.

The tent was brightly lit and decorated simply and elegantly, with nothing else except a few mats and candlesticks.

Sitting in the center of the tent was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a jade-like face and a few strands of black beard, looking quite wealthy.

On his left sat a youthful girl. Although she was not yet of marriageable age, she was already graceful and beautiful.

Duan Tianyang speculated that she might be Bai Qi's daughter, the girl coveted by Wen Ping.

On the right side of the middle-aged man, there were also two people sitting.

One was a handsome young man with clear features like a painting; the other was a wretched man in his thirties, with cunning and treachery in his eyes.

As soon as Duan Tianyang stepped into the tent, the four people's eyes were focused on him at the same time, and expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.

Duan Tianyang was already accustomed to other people's exclamations. Anyone who saw the original owner's stunning appearance would be amazed.

He cast his eyes on the middle-aged man sitting in the middle, and asked with a warm smile: "I guess you are Boss Bai?"

"It's me, Bai Qi." Bai Qi responded. Although his tone was polite, his attitude seemed quite cold.

He sat upright on the soft mat with a sullen expression on his face, and seemed to have no intention of getting up to greet him, let alone giving up his seat to Duan Tianyang.

Duan Tianyang didn't care about it and still maintained a gentle smile.

"Lord Duan came to visit us so late at night, it must be something important, right?" Bai Qi asked directly.

"It is true that there is something wrong." Duan Tianyang said leisurely, "However, it is not me who has something wrong, but you. I came here this time to save the lives of you and your whole family."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly changed and everyone's faces darkened.

The wretched man sneered and mocked, "Humph, the Lord of Yunzhong City is so young, but he has such a big mouth!"

Bai Qi cast a glance at the wretched man, then his gaze fell on Duan Tianyang again, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean by that, Lord Duan?"

"Our army will arrive at Longsha City tonight. By then, the rebels outside Longsha City, including the one led by you, Boss Bai, will not escape death." Duan Tianyang said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but gasp. Before he could say anything, the wretched-looking man threw his head back and laughed.

He stood up and strode towards Duan Tianyang. When he got close, his eyes were full of contempt.

He mocked loudly: "Duan, do you think we haven't inquired in advance? The defenders in Yunzhong City now can't even gather 500 people. Where did your Yunzhong City get the troops to support Longsha City? You dare to talk nonsense here, saying that you can catch us all in one fell swoop? What can you use to destroy us? Just your Yunzhong army of less than 500 people? What a joke! Hahaha!" He laughed more and more arrogantly as he spoke.

The wretched man not only looks ugly, but his laughter is also very disgusting.

Duan Tianyang glanced at him with disgust and asked Bai Qi, "Boss Bai, who is this idiot? Why is he so ugly..."
