Tang Cheng'an forced a smile: "As Mr. Jiang said, I came incognito because I really don't want to disturb the place." His smile was stiff and jerky, as if he was trying to control himself.

"As for why I kneel down in front of the court, I just want to see how good Mr. Jiang is in solving cases?" He explained, trying his best to look as if he should take it for granted.

"Master Jiang, I have to say that I am very satisfied with your performance." Tang Chengan nodded, with a hint of praise in his tone.

"Now the city defense camp has strong troops and horses, and Shangmu County is much richer than before. I admire you very much." Tang Chengan praised according to the script, but there was no trace of sincerity in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will write a letter for you and say a few nice words to the Holy One." He assured in a coy manner.

After that, he waved his sleeves and said: "Okay, I have understood everything in Shangmu County. Mr. Jiang, I'm leaving." He raised his chin, as if he was about to leave.

He didn't care about Jiang Mingyu's expression, so he took the driver beside him and left the county government office in a swaggering manner.

Looking at the two people's retreating figures, Li Goudan broke out in cold sweat: "I actually tied Lord Sima?" Li Goudan's eyes widened, his face turned gray, and he was filled with fear.

Zhuge Yu and Jiang Mingyu looked at each other slightly, and soon, they both saw strong doubts in each other's eyes. Jiang Mingyu frowned, and Zhuge Yu also looked suspicious, both of them were confused about what they had just said.

What happened is beyond explanation.

I saw Zhuge Yu saying with some uncertainty: "Master, why do I feel that something is wrong with Mr. Tang?" He frowned, with a look of confusion and hesitation on his face.

Jiang Mingyu nodded: "Although I have never seen this person before, I always feel weird." A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and he nodded slowly in agreement.

Zhuge Yu snorted: "That's right, he is a state-level Sima after all. How could he be willing to kneel down to you?" He raised his voice with a look of disbelief on his face.

"As you just said, he is a little too low-key. Master, there must be something weird in this." Zhuge Yu reasoned, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Mingyu sighed deeply: "But where does this weirdness come from?" He spread his hands helplessly, with a confused expression.

"I am still worrying too much. Could it be that he really came to inspect on the orders of the governor? No, there must be something wrong." Jiang Mingyu said to himself, looking hesitant.

"But I have never had any enemies with him. Why did he come to Shangmu County like this?" Jiang Mingyu asked himself, confusion written on his face.

No wonder he couldn't figure it out. With the conscription documents in hand, he never dreamed that Tang Chengan was actually here for conscription. Jiang Mingyu's mind was in chaos and he couldn't figure out the purpose of Tang Chengan's visit.

Before he could figure out the reason, Tuxlow, who was supposed to be training troops in the city defense camp, suddenly walked in: "Sir, the scout is back." Tuxlow's face was full of urgency, and he took three steps and two steps at a time.

Come in.

Jiang Mingyu had no choice but to put aside his suspicions: "How's it going? What did you hear?" He put aside his doubts and quickly got down to business.

Tuxluo collected his thoughts and said, "The scouts reported that they discovered three places where bandits were found in Shangmu County." He considered the words and reported the news brought back by the spies.

"These groups of bandits have been entrenched in the local area for many years, and their number is in the hundreds. They are far more numerous than those in Xiaohuangshan." Tuxlow added with a serious expression.

Jiang Mingyu nodded: "This is best. I am worried that I can't find a whetstone." A trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Tukesluo, please order the city defense camp to send out two troops tomorrow morning to wipe out these bandits one by one and restore peace to Shangmu County." Jiang Mingyu ordered decisively, with firmness in his tone.

Zhuge Yu, who was still thinking hard just now, suddenly became energetic: "Master, are you going to suppress the bandits?" He stood up excitedly, with blood in his eyes.

Jiang Mingyu nodded: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?" He nodded calmly, as if it was a matter of course.

Zhuge Yu smiled faintly: "Can you take me with you?" He asked tentatively, his eyes shining with anticipation.

Jiang Mingyu didn't quite understand: "Why, you still want to show off Mr. Zhuge's talent to those bandits?" He raised his eyebrows and asked, with suspicion in his tone.

Zhuge Yu rolled his eyes: "Master, you may not know that I have profound knowledge in the art of war. I think back then..." He immediately explained, feeling a little proud.

Jiang Mingyu quickly waved his hand: "Okay, stop bragging. I don't know your virtues yet?" He interrupted impatiently, having already seen through Zhuge Yu's bluff.

But Zhuge Yu had no intention of giving up: "Master, don't underestimate me, take me with you, it's absolutely right." He assured again and again, with a look of confidence on his face.

He said so, and Jiang Mingyu couldn't refuse: "Okay, in that case, you can set off with the army early tomorrow morning." He nodded helplessly and agreed.

"But think about it carefully, marching is no better than a child playing house, it will kill people." Jiang Mingyu warned seriously, with a serious look on his face.

But Zhuge Yu didn't care at all: "Don't worry, the material is fine." He waved his hand lightly, not at all nervous.

Jiang Mingyu ignored him and said, "Pass on my order, Murong Yunhai will stay at the county office, and Li Goudan will temporarily go to the city defense camp to keep an eye on it." He thought for a moment and quickly made arrangements.

"I will lead the army with Tuxuo Luo and Zhuge Yu. The army will set off early tomorrow morning. Get ready to go quickly." Jiang Mingyu gave the decisive order, with fighting intent already igniting in his eyes.

At this time, Tang Chengan was sitting on the carriage returning to Asmodeus, but he looked very anxious.

He kept fanning himself back and forth in the carriage, his face full of anxiety.

According to his opinion, since he has revealed himself in front of Jiang Mingyu, Wang Zhe of Asmodeus will soon know that he has left his post without permission.

Tang Chengan frowned and thought about countermeasures in his mind.

The best way at the moment is to report everything he saw to Wang Zhe as soon as possible before he attacks.

A trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he began to plan secretly.

Once the Prime Minister brought this matter to His Majesty, Wang Zhe, as the governor, would be the first to bear the blame.

The corners of Tang Chengan's mouth raised slightly, as if he saw Wang Zhe stepping down from the stage.

As long as Wang Zhe falls, no one will pursue his crimes, and he will even transform into a hero of the Rabbit Prime Minister.

Tang Chengan's eyes shone with anticipation and pride.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tell the groom outside: "Hurry up, hurry up." Tang Chengan shouted anxiously, with nervousness in his urging voice.

Early the next morning, the defense camp in Shangmu County was drummed up by Jin Ming. The soldiers in the camp were ready to go, and the drums were loud and exciting.

Looking at the two men in front of him, Jiang Mingyu rolled up his sleeves and said, "Brothers, we are going out of the city to suppress the bandits soon." He looked solemnly and scanned the team.

"This is the first battle in your life, and it is also the most important battle. Even for some people, it may be the last battle." Jiang Mingyu said earnestly, and his words contained encouragement.

"But for the sake of your family and the people behind you, so that you will never be harmed by bandits again, I ask you if you are afraid?" He asked loudly, his eyes burning.

The two men shouted in unison: "Don't be afraid." The soldiers shouted loudly and powerfully.

Jiang Mingyu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, a real man should carry a three-foot sword, achieve immortal feats, and have no regrets even if his body is wrapped in horse leather." He said solemnly, with a resolute look on his face.

"You are all good, come, beat the drums, let's go." Jiang Mingyu waved his arms and shouted, the drums behind him were thundering.
