The next morning, Lady Yan was lying in Li Yuan's arms, clinging to him.

The two hadn't enjoyed this kind of early morning sleep together for a long time.

Seeing that the sky was just getting light, the two began to talk.

Li Yuan asked: "Sister Yan, have you heard of the Blood Knife Sect, the Wei Family, and the Sun Family?"

Lady Yan hugged her man's waist, pressed close to him, and said: "The Wei and Sun families seem to be the wealthy families in the county. I have also heard of the Blood Knife Sect. It seems to have a high status in the county."

Li Yuan asked again: "Last month, when I was away during the day, did the tax officer come to collect taxes in Xiaomofang?"

Lady Yan said: "Yes, there was another family in the village who couldn't pay the tax, and the girl in the family was taken away. The family cried and shouted, but the tax officer didn't care at all."

As she said this, Lady Yan sighed. Everyone has compassion, and it's just sympathy for others.

After she said this, Li Yuan combined some of his own memories and immediately understood.

Ordinary people don't understand the ins and outs of it, nor do they know the power structure.

And those tax officials last month, how could they still be government tax officials?

These are clearly tax officials from the two families, but they are just wearing government clothes, just like Cai Ze.

They are obviously disciples of the Blood Knife Sect, but they are still yamen runners.

He felt a little depressed.

Cai Ze's words echoed in his mind repeatedly, rumbling.

—— I'll put it here, even if the Red Lotus Thief breaks through our Shanbao County, he will not touch Yinxifang. ——

—— This dynasty is just the largest underworld force, but this "largest" only refers to the beginning of the founding of the country. ——

—— The Red Lotus Thief entered the county, burned, killed, looted, and what can't he do? ——

Li Yuan felt a sense of urgency that made it difficult to breathe.

Indistinctly, he felt that greater chaos and the real collapse of order had not yet begun.

The history of the world before he traveled through was only low-level martial arts in the era of cold weapons, but there were chaotic dark ages such as the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

In this world, the court can acquiesce to the existence of the Jianghu forces as a country within a country, and there are such terrifying things hidden in the deep mountains and old forests. Once the chaos breaks out, what will it look like?

Li Yuan simply couldn't imagine it.

He clenched his fists secretly.

Time is running out, he must quickly collect silver and move to Yinxifang immediately.

But he can't trust Cai Ze completely. He can find an opportunity to verify this when he goes to Hengwu Restaurant.

Hengwu Restaurant is also located in Yinxi. This time he glanced at it from a distance. It was still operating normally and the business was not bad. Meat should also be needed.

Thinking of this, he was about to get up.

As soon as he moved, Lady Yan retracted her long legs that were pressing on him and asked, "Brother Yuan, are you going out?"

"Yeah."

Li Yuan said, gently lifted the quilt and pressed it down, and began to put on pants and clothes.

In the quilt, Lady Yan glanced at her man with her apricot eyes, and directly lifted the quilt, revealing her white flesh, and said, "Then I'll get up too."

After saying that, she blinked again and smiled, "I washed your clothes that were stained with rouge yesterday? Don't you feel bad?"

Li Yuan said speechlessly, "Why do you mention it?"

Lady Yan rolled her eyes charmingly and said, "Aren't all women like this?"

"That's right."

While the two were chatting casually, Li Yuan put on his clothes and Lady Yan buttoned up his clothes.

Li Yuan went out to wash, while Lady Yan hurriedly lit the fire and heated corn porridge and bacon for breakfast.

There was salt and meat at home, so Lady Yan naturally pickled a lot of bacon.

After a while, the two finished their meal, Li Yuan grabbed the bow and walked out, while Lady Yan grabbed her man's changed clothes and threw them into the wooden basin, then picked up the clothes beater and asked Aunt Wang to wash clothes together.

Li Yuancai walked out of the door and saw a tall and thin figure swaying.

That figure was Tian Bao.

Tian Bao saw Li Yuan and hurried over, saying respectfully: "Brother Yuan, good morning."

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Yuan. I. I want to follow you." Tian Bao lowered his head.

His elder brother was conscripted to fight in the war, and most likely died. He and his father were left at home.

His father was also half dead.

Tian Bao looked at the fate of his relatives and seemed to see his future self, but he was unwilling to accept it. A person's eggs will die anyway, so he might as well fight for his life in the troubled times, so that he would not regret it when he died.

How to fight?

"Brother Yuan, I'm sincere." Tian Bao said again, "I understand the rules of the underworld. I follow my elder brother, and my life belongs to my elder brother. I will do whatever my elder brother tells me to do. If anyone wants to hurt my elder brother, I will fight him to the death."

Li Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "A Bao, I'm not a gangster, why do you follow me?"

Tian Bao suddenly took a few deep breaths and said softly, "Brother Yuan, I killed the old man Ma Liu in the dark.

I know that my elder brother was still in the county at that time, and Ma Liu's death can't be blamed on my elder brother."

Li Yuan:.

"Brother!"

Tian Bao's legs softened and he knelt down directly.

Li Yuan looked at him.

Originally, Li Yuan planned to kill Ma Liu himself.

But if he did it, no matter how secretly, it would still be attributed to him.

Being lawless is one thing, and being wanton is another.

This Tian Bao directly helped him solve the problem. He is also a man with good eyesight, and he is also a man with ruthlessness.

In this world, such people can at least do something.

"Is this your first time killing someone?"

"Yes"

"How does it feel?"

"I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night." Tian Bao's eyes were red and bloodshot.

Li Yuan said, "I'll teach you archery. How much you can learn depends on your own ability. If you learn this skill, at least you won't have a problem with food."

"Archery? Brother Yuan, I don't have a bow or a hunting permit." Tian Bao said hesitantly.

Li Yuan said, "Come with me."

After a while, Li Yuan came to the house of the ruffian called "A Fei".

This family had a hunting permit. If he remembered correctly, this hunting permit was snatched from Qian San's house after he killed Uncle Caihua.

After that, "A Fei" did a lot of bad things with the Qian family.

Now, this "A Fei" has been arrested, but the weapons and hunting permit should still be kept.

Li Yuan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

No one responded.

Just as he was about to knock again, Tian Bao next to him said respectfully: "Brother Yuan, let me do it. Knocking on the door will dirty your hands."

Li Yuan: ? ? ?

He stepped back a little.

Tian Bao accelerated, rushed forward, and kicked the door with a "bang".

The door, which was only locked with a wooden bolt, was kicked open immediately.

Tian Bao wiped his right hand at his waist, grabbed a hatchet, rushed into the door, and shouted fiercely: "Damn it, didn't you hear my brother knocking on the door?"

Li Yuan:.

Inside the door, a woman was trembling.

After a while.The woman handed the hunting license, earth bow, and arrows directly to Tian Bao.

Li Yuan threw two big coins over and said: "I bought it from your family."

The woman didn't expect to get the money again, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, brother Yuan, thank you, brother Yuan."

What happened yesterday has spread. Who doesn't know that Li Yuan has someone in the government? Ma Liu died. Someone reported to the police last night, but no bailiff came to investigate. Any fool knows what this means.

Who dares to offend Li Yuan?

Tian Bao put the hunting permit in his arms and touched the earthen bow with joy.

Li Yuan glanced at him.

This young man was not a ruffian, nor was he so fierce. He just got angry and wanted to live a better life in this chaotic world, so his temperament changed drastically.

There must be many people like Tian Bao.

"A Bao."

"Brother, you say."

"You learn bows from me, remember the word low-key. Whether during or after learning bows, you must not abuse my name. If you do it again like you just did, you will not learn bows from me, understand?"

"Brother, I. I. I was wrong just now." Tian Bao realized something and was a little at a loss.

Li Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go hunting."

The chaotic world is coming, he must hurry up to make money, more people can also be more hands, and he doesn't need to do everything himself.

This Tian Bao looks OK, at least he can be used for observation.

Whether it works or not, we will see later.

Besides, after he goes to Yinxi, this small ink shop can still keep a pair of eyes.

As for not being able to subdue him, this... seems unlikely, at least not very likely.

Tian Bao is just an ordinary person who has nothing to do with the power of an entry-level warrior. He has spare points, and now he is a ninth-level warrior. If he can't even subdue a non-entry-level person, he might as well kill himself with a piece of tofu.
