Chapter 59 The Rebels Attack

A moment later, Li Yuan used his palm as a knife, and a stream of red blood appeared.

"Bang!"

The table in front of me was split in two.

"This is the outward projection of Qi and blood!"

Li Yuan looked at his hands, his qi and blood sharp as knives. "Heh, I feel a bit like a Saiyan now."

With a single wave of his hand, his vital energy dissipated.

At this moment, he finally stepped into the realm of mid-grade martial artist.

"Not enough...not nearly enough..."

Looking at the dappled shadows cast by the rising sun on the ground, bright and clear, yet filled with immense pressure—the rebels…

...

It was midday.

Li Yuan was eating lunch when Qiu Tong hurriedly arrived.

"elder brother...."

"You eat..."

Qiu Tong had barely opened his mouth when he was interrupted, "Brother, the rebels have started their operation. According to the information we've received, it should be tonight!"

"When I arrived, the five chief constables had already gone to the county government office."

"What? Didn't they say a few days ago it would take another ten days or half a month? How come it's so soon...?"

Li Yuan was taken aback.

"Many people died from exhaustion building ships in the outer city. Perhaps they didn't pay attention, which led to a plague. Now they are in a state of chaos, and they are short of medicine."

"So I guess that's the reason."

Qiu Tong said.

Is that so?

Li Yuan frowned. That made sense, but something still felt off.

"What about the arrangements from the county government?"

It's not clear yet.

Qiu Tong shook his head. "But the logistics are already running at full capacity. I'm leaving soon too. Be careful."

He arrived quickly and left even faster, without even having a sip of water.

In the main hall.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and even Li Jun put down his chopsticks.

"alright!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I'm confident. As long as the inner city doesn't fall, everything will be fine."

"Qiu girl, trust A-Yuan!"

Wang Xiulan then spoke up to comfort Qiu Yun, who was tense and worried.

He knew Li Yuan's personality well; he wouldn't joke around at a time like this.

"Um...."

.....

Not long after, the Southern Police Station sent a message to Li Yuan.

Not daring to delay, Li Yuan said goodbye and hurriedly left home.

As soon as he stepped into the South Police Station, he felt an oppressive atmosphere.

Huang Wei is not here; he should still be at the yamen and hasn't returned yet.

Even the usually amiable Liu He had a tense expression at this moment, and only nodded slightly when he saw Li Yuan.

Li Yuan walked over and sat down next to him. "Brother Liu, they're rebels..."

"Um!"

Liu He nodded slightly. "We'll talk about everything when I get back."

After saying that, he closed his eyes.

To be honest, he was more nervous and scared than Li Yuan.

After all, he had experienced the great battle with the rebels before, where corpses littered the fields, and he had barely escaped with his life. Now that the war had begun again, fear was already permeating his mind.

"They're all here."

After a long while, Huang Wei returned, no longer as relaxed as before, his brows furrowed.

"I've seen the head of the ship!"

Everyone stood up and bowed.

Huang Wei, seated at the head of the table, raised his hand and said, "Sit down, sit down!"

After scanning the room, he continued, "Some of you probably already know about this."

"According to the information we have received, the rebels will attack the city tonight."

"The county magistrate has ordered that the southern police station and the garrison at the south gate jointly resist the rebels!"

"Including this chief constable!"

This was the first time Huang Wei had addressed himself as the Chief Constable in front of everyone. His eyes sharpened. "From this day forward, everyone must eat, drink, and live on the South City Tower!"

"No one may disobey!"

"Did you hear me clearly?!"

He shouted, and the next moment his blood and qi erupted, a powerful pressure enveloping everyone.

"Yes, Chief Constable!"

Everyone immediately responded in unison.

"Seventh rank!"

Li Yuan sensed the oppressive aura and immediately realized that the person's qi and blood were still somewhat unstable, indicating that they had only recently broken through to the seventh rank.

"Alright."

Huang Wei sat down again. "Go back and prepare properly. Have dinner with your family too."

"Everyone must be on the city wall before nightfall."

"Yes, Chief Constable."

The people present all looked extremely solemn, especially Huang Wei, who seemed to be in despair when he finished speaking his last sentence.

Huang Wei waved his hand.

The crowd began to leave, and in the end, only Liu He and Huang Wei remained.

"You'll come with me then."

Huang Wei glanced at Liu He, saw that he was staring blankly, and then spoke.

During this period, Liu He had been in charge of the Southern Police Station. Even if he hadn't made any great contributions, he had certainly worked hard.

"Thanks, boss!"

Liu He stood up excitedly and bowed.

Having a seventh-rank official by your side would definitely make you much safer.

.....

"What? You're going to keep the South Gate Tower with you forever?"

Qiu Yun's expression changed drastically, and her eyes immediately reddened.

"Ah Yuan..."

Wang Xiulan was scared this time too.

"elder brother....."

Even Li Jun, who was very young, understood it and looked at him with his small eyes.

"It's fine!"

Li Yuan said with a smile, "With such high city walls, I won't have to fight the rebels directly from up there, so don't worry."

"But...but..."

As Qiu Yun spoke, tears streamed down her face, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Have you forgotten? I am a martial artist. Ordinary people can't hurt me. Besides, our chief constable is here too. There's absolutely no problem."

.....

It wasn't dark yet!

The bed has been moved!

In the past, Qiu Yun would definitely have been shy, but now... she's even more cooperative than on the first night.

Moreover, there were only the two of them in this backyard.

Even more outrageous!

...

"Let's go!"

Li Yuan touched her hair.

"return!"

"Um!"

Li Yuan nodded, while Qiu Yun watched him leave the house, then closed her eyes and began to pray.

...

The outer courtyard.

"Son, be careful."

"rest assured!"

Li Yuan smiled, then patted Li Jun, "Be a good boy at home, okay?"

"I know, brother!"

"My brother is the best!"

The little guy clenched his fist and said with great pride.

"Hahaha......"

Li Yuan burst into laughter, then looked at Wang Xiulan, whispered a few words in her ear, and then left.

Wang Xiulan's expression was noticeably different from before.

"My son..."

.....

When Li Yuan arrived at the South City Tower, it was just evening, and the tower turned golden under the sunset.

Huang Wei and Liu He have arrived.

"Chief Constable Huang!"

Li Yuangong shouted.

"Li Yuan, you've arrived quite early."

"It's the same whether you come early or late."

Li Yuan's answer surprised Huang Wei slightly, but more so his attitude. He didn't see any nervousness or fear, which Huang Wei appreciated.

"Look, over there!"

He pointed to the opposite side, where dozens of small boats were visible, and figures could be vaguely seen on them.

"Where are our warships?"

Li Yuan asked, "They belong to the second line of defense; the first line is the garrison."

"Resupply in progress, almost there."

Huang Wei said in a deep voice, "By the way, how's your archery practice going?"

Half a month ago, he had all the constables in the Southern Police Station learn a skill of archery.

Li Yuan was puzzled at the time.

Now it seems this is all for today.

"Not bad, you've got the basics down!"

"Um!"

Huang Wei nodded. "That's all I can do for you. What happens next is up to you. Just try not to stray too far from me."
