Wenshui and Wenyang were located in a remote area. Only a few Yellow Turban Army soldiers were moving along the river. After clearing out these soldiers, Yang Rui brought the forty bandit leaders to the pirate camp to rest and recover their stamina. Yang Rui also sat down cross-legged and started to practice his basic Neigong.
Practicing Neigong and recovering stamina were not contradictory. Therefore, Yang Rui spent most of his rest time in the game meditating. Even so, Yang Rui's Neigong was still stuck at Level 1. It was already very good that he could increase his proficiency by two to three percent every day just by meditating!
Yang Rui only stopped when it was almost evening. The proficiency of his Neigong had only increased by two percent. The effect was not very good! In just one day, Yang Rui's Story Points and Achievement Points had increased by over 10000! Both points had exceeded 35000!
The reason why his points increased so quickly was probably because the battle at Wutun Town in Jiang Ji was very intense. It could also be that a new Yellow Turban Army had appeared in Mountain Town. Regardless of which it was, Yang Rui had to pay attention to it.
Yang Rui brought the forty Fifth Grade bandit leaders who had recovered their stamina and hurried back to the checkpoint at Ao Lai Valley in Mountain Town. Wenshui and Wenyang were the closest stronghold to Mountain Town. It only took them an hour to get back.
Yang Rui's intuition was confirmed this time. The Yellow Turban Army soldiers around Mountain Town had been cleared out. However, when Juping County sent someone to ask for help in the afternoon, he was chased by two thousand soldiers!
Half of the two thousand soldiers were Second Grade Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Tian and the others at the checkpoint at Ao Lai Valley were busy for a while.
"My Lord! Today, the Juping County Magistrate sent someone to ask for help. However, their attitude was not very good. I wanted to chase them out, but I was stopped by Elder Wang Hai … "
Yang Rui heard Zhang Tian's words the moment he entered the checkpoint. His tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Oh? Then where is the person who asked for help? "
This should be a mission! He couldn't have been chased away by Zhang Tian, right? Yang Rui felt a little helpless about Zhang Tian's temper.
"Hmph, that brat complained that our checkpoint was too noisy and was brought to the town's meeting room by Elder Wang Hai!"
Seeing that Yang Rui was so concerned about that person, Zhang Tianwei replied indignantly. Zhang Tian must have suffered a lot from that person!
Yang Rui naturally noticed Zhang Tian's indignation and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. He then turned around and rushed towards the meeting room in Mountain Town.
When Yang Rui arrived at the meeting room, Wang Hai was still talking to that person.
"My Lord, this is King Tingcheng, His Excellency King Yue, who was sent by the county magistrate. He has come to our Mountain Town to seek help …"
Upon seeing Yang Rui walk in, Wang Hai hurriedly leaned over and whispered an introduction. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lord Wang, who was sitting upright.
"Are you Zhang Lie Yang, the pavilion on the peak?"
Wang Yue asked calmly without even raising his head as he tasted the 'A pint of incense' that Wang Hai had provided him.
Yang Rui finally understood why Zhang Tian was so fed up with this person. It was truly because this person was too arrogant and condescending.
"Yes, I am!"
Even though he did not have a good impression of this person, Yang Rui did not get angry with this NPC. This person still had the mission from the county magistrate's office. Yang Rui felt that the mission was the most important thing.
"Why don't you greet me when you see me?"
After Yang Rui spoke, not only did Lord Wang Yue not stand up to greet him, he still lowered his head and drank his wine. He even scolded Yang Rui for not greeting him! Even though Yang Rui had a good temper, he could not help but curse in his heart. He stood still and did not move.
In fact, Yang Rui did not know the inside story. This Lord Wang Yue's' Court Counselor 'happened to be in charge of villages. It was an official position below the county magistrate's office. Usually, Lord Wang Yue was used to being arrogant in front of village chiefs and village chiefs. That was why he had such an attitude towards Yang Rui.
Wang Hai could clearly see that Yang Rui and Lord Wang Yue were about to fall out. Therefore, he pulled Yang Rui's collar and walked closer to Lord Wang Yue. He whispered, "Lord Wang, this is an urgent matter. Let's talk about the reinforcements."
This Lord Wang Ke was slightly taken aback. He lowered his head and continued to drink two more cups of wine before slowly standing up.
"Blazing Sun, listen to my orders. Recently, Juping City has been besieged by the Yellow Turban Rebels. The county magistrate ordered me to come to Mountain Town to mobilize the troops to relieve Juping City from the siege. Mobilize the troops immediately and report the order …"
This Lord Wang Bei rambled on for a long time, and his tone was completely like a superior giving orders to a subordinate! However, he did not mention anything about the mission. As for the cost of sending reinforcements, there was not a single mention of compensation!
"Blazing Sun, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and lead the soldiers of Mountain Town to reinforce the county! "
After giving out a long series of orders, Lord Wang Yue immediately stood up and walked to the entrance of the meeting room. When he walked past Yang Rui, he tilted his head and glanced at Yang Rui.
"Court Counselor, please wait!"
Yang Rui stopped Lord Wang Yue.
What a joke! The soldiers of Mountain Town were Yang Rui's private soldiers. They were not under any authority. Even if the county magistrate came personally, as long as Yang Rui was not willing to give them to him, he could do nothing about it, let alone a mere Court Counselor!
Now, a mere Court Counselor wanted Yang Rui to send out the troops just by saying something? His attitude was so bureaucratic and unreasonable! Most importantly, he did not give any promises. He did not even give out a mission! Yang Rui would definitely not agree!
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Court Counselor. Our Mountain Town does not have many soldiers. Now that the Yellow Turban Rebellion is happening, we can't even protect ourselves. I've failed the county magistrate! Please forgive me for not being able to give you a single soldier! "
To such an arrogant person who looked down on others and ordered people around, the best counterattack was to ruthlessly reject him. It was no different from pouring cold water on his face!
Hearing Yang Rui's words, Lord Wang Yue was stunned. He did not expect a mere Village Constable to reject him so directly! About a breath later, Lord Wang Yue turned around and faced Yang Rui for the first time.
"Hmph! Village Constable Blazing Sun does not dare to speak nonsense. There are many soldiers guarding the checkpoint outside of Mountain Town. With the two primary checkpoints, the Yellow Turban Army cannot do anything to Mountain Town. How can you say that you can't even take care of yourself? Why do you want to deceive me? "
Lord Wang Yue's tone was still unreasonable, but what he said was not wrong.
"Just a few soldiers are enough to make the Court Counselor worry about them! However, those are all hired thugs that I have privately raised. They are not soldiers on the battlefield. Usually, they quarrel, fight, and show off their prestige. As for the Minister of Justice's request to resolve the siege of Ping County, I'm afraid that they will not be of much use … "
Since he had already slapped his face, he might as well slap him a few times! Yang Rui was not afraid of offending the county magistrate. Previously, Liu County Lieutenant had conspired with Yang Rui to go against the county magistrate! Moreover, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, it was uncertain if the county magistrate could survive it!
"Forgive me for not accompanying you! Elder Wang Hai, please see the guest out for me! "
After saying this, Yang Rui turned around and left. He did not care about the Court Counselor Wang Yue whose face had turned purple! When he walked far away, he could still hear the Court Counselor's continuous roaring behind him.
