Tang Yin was also worried, if the chosen Alliance Master was too popular and had too strong of a power, managing the Ranger Alliance too well, would the Ranger Alliance still be disbanded after the end of the Countercurrent Flow? If the Ranger Alliance continued to exist and grew stronger, wouldn't it not take them long to form a force that could rival the imperial government? that was even more serious than the threat of Countercurrent Flow, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.

Through his conversation with Sui An and observing the reaction of the many rangers present, Tang Yin had already decided in his heart that regardless of whether or not Zhang Dong could become the Alliance Master, he would at least not let Zhou Kuan, with Baihui Hall, become the Alliance Master.

Tang Yin wanted to ask more about the various sects, but Sui An was not interested in the topic at all, and kept on bringing to Tang Yin business. It was clear that he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Tang Yin, in order to earn some benefits from him, and see if he could get a share of the spoonful.

Tang Yin had seen many of these people, and he hated them. He responded with a few words, but they did not talk much. Seeing Tang Yin's displeased face, Jiang Fan and the others understood. They all stood up and said: "Young Noble, we should go now."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, smiled to Sui An, and said: "Brother Sui, we will meet again in the future!" After he had finished speaking, he walked out with big steps, not bothering to pay attention to Sui An's reaction.

He had to spend a long time to come up with something. He was both angry and embarrassed that he couldn't get anything out of it, so he slammed the table heavily and said to the Rangers in the surroundings: "I don't think this Zephyr Guild is doing proper business here, they might even be a group of bandits!"

Just a moment ago, he was still talking and laughing with Tang Yin, as if they were good friends. Now, when Tang Yin had just left, he declared them to be bandits with confidence.

Laiyang, an important town in Ling Nan County.

The entire population of the city and its surrounding area numbered around two hundred thousand and there was no agriculture involved. However, the handicraft industry was developed and business was flourishing, so they had to pass through the road between Feng Country and the Ning Country. A large portion of the armor and military uniforms that Feng Army currently wore came from the Laiyang.

When Tang Yin and the rest arrived at the Laiyang, it was much more lively than usual. The Ranger of the People chose to gather near the Laiyang, and unknowingly, it brought about the business of the Laiyang, not only did large numbers of Rangers rush into the city, but many merchants who smelled the business opportunities also rushed over. For a moment, the scene in the Laiyang City was unprecedented, where bustling crowds of people and caravans could be seen everywhere.

It was said that once upon a time, it was an ancient battlefield. In the past, when the first Feng King expanded outwards, they had fought with the enemy here, and many people died. Even now, there were still rumors among the nearby Windmen that they could hear the mournful wails of the myriad ghosts.

Of course, the rumors were just rumors. Most of the rangers did not believe this.

After entering the city, Tang Yin did not want to alarm the local authorities, nor did he stop at his Tavern. He planned to first find an inn to stay. But it was too difficult to find an inn in the Laiyang now, and all the inns inside the city were packed with people. Tang Yin and his group had entered the city in the morning, and after wandering around for a while, they had yet to find an inn to stay in.

He sat on the horse and raised his head to look, only to realize that there was a spacious inn not far away, just the road alone had more than ten stumps on top of the horses. The atmosphere of the first floor of the inn was extremely lively, and the fragrance of food was also wafting out from time to time.

Tang Yin said to Shangguan Yuanwu who was beside him: "Yuanwu, let's stay at this inn." He did not use a tone of agreement, but a tone of affirmation.

When he was outside, Shangguan Yuanwu was always in charge of money, he understood what Tang Yin meant, and nodded: "Yes! Young Master! "

Tang Yin and his group entered the inn, and just as they had arrived, a servant stepped forward and asked with a smile: Sir s, what do you want to eat?

"We'll stay here!" Shangguan Yuanwu said.

The servant shook her head awkwardly and said: "I'm sorry Sir, the guest rooms in my shop are all full ?"

If he had known earlier, he would have given such an answer. Shangguan Yuanwu did not waste time talking to him, he turned and walked to the front of the counter, then looked at a middle-aged man who was accounting for money. He asked: "You are the shopkeeper of this inn?"

Hearing the voice, the middle-aged man put down the account book, raised his head, and looked at Shangguan Yuanwu in confusion.

Shangguan Yuanwu placed the bag he brought along on the counter, letting out a loud clanging sound. He took out a piece of silver and placed it in front of the shopkeeper, saying: "The seven of us will be staying here."

The shopkeeper looked at the silver ingot, then looked at Shangguan Yuanwu, and finally his gaze landed on the shop assistant. The servant hastily explained, "Innkeeper, I already said that the guest rooms are full, but this Sir completely ignored me ?"

Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, Shangguan Yuanwu took out another silver ingot and said: "As long as you have two rooms."

The shopkeeper bitterly smiled and said, "Not to mention two rooms, there isn't even one room. My shop was already full a few days ago."

Shangguan Yuanwu stared at the shopkeeper for a while, then took out another silver ingot and said: "Thirty silver, two rooms!"

"Sir, this is not a matter of more money or less, it's just that our store really did not ?"

Before he could finish speaking, with two more bangs, Shangguan Yuanwu took out another two pieces of silver, and this time, the amount of silver on the counter was a total of 50 taels.

Not to mention the shop assistant at the side, even the knowledgeable shopkeeper was stunned. He could not help but steal a glance at Shangguan Yuanwu, then look at Tang Yin and the others behind him, he secretly inhaled, although these people were dressed normally, but the aura they emitted was not ordinary at all, and furthermore, they immediately threw out fifty silver taels without even blinking, they were definitely not ordinary people.

The shopkeeper was afraid of Shangguan Yuanwu's aura, she was silent for a moment, then said: "Alright, Sir, I'll help you think of a way." While talking, he brought the servant closer to him and whispered to Shangguan Yuanwu: "Sir, our inn's guest rooms are truly full. We don't have the right to kick our guests out when we open our doors to do business, so, can the few Sir s feel wronged and can stay in the servant's room for the time being.

Shangguan Yuanwu was not satisfied with his answer and raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Yin walked forward and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Alright, shopkeeper also has his difficulties, we can just have a place to stay."2

Tang Yin opened his mouth, and stopped fighting as he nodded: "Yes! Young Master! "

After strolling around for half a day, Tang Yin and his group finally managed to find a place to settle down with their money. Afterwards, they found an empty table in the lobby of the first floor and asked the waiter to bring them some food and wine.

This inn's cooking skills were not bad, and the taste of the food was authentic as well. It was extremely delicious. Tang Yin looked out of the window as he ate, muttering to himself in a low voice while shaking his head: "I never thought that there would be so many rangers from my Feng Country, but every time Levy of Soldiers are issued, the number of rangers registering can be counted on one hand!" Furthermore, they were all shrimp soldiers and crab generals who weren't very strong. This angered Tang Yin the most.

Cheng Jin said: "Rangers have always been a prideful person, they would rather be starved to death than work for the imperial government."

Shangguan Yuanwu took over: "Actually, the travelling adventurers look down on the imperial government from the bottom of their bones, and think that serving the imperial government is tantamount to being the beagles of the imperial government, and being disgraced by others."

"Humph!" Tang Yin sneered, and said with a sharp gaze: "Such a thing, dying is not worth it!"

That same day, Tang Yin and the rest stayed at the tavern. Originally, everyone had planned to let Tang Yin stay in one room while the others would share the other. However, Tang Yin wasn't too particular as he insisted to stay in his own room.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Tang Yin was woken up by the clamor outside. Frowning, he got out of bed and opened the window. Looking out, he saw that the streets were filled with groups of people walking in one direction, pointing at something as they walked. It was unknown what they were talking about.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao walked to the window with hazy eyes and peeked their heads out.

"Who knows." Tang Yin who was completely awake muttered, he grabbed his clothes and draped them over his body, then said while shaking his head: "Come, let's go out and take a look too."

One of the main reasons why Tang Yin came to Laiyang was to watch the show, and he obviously did not want to miss the show.

Brother Shangguan hastily dressed himself and followed Tang Yin out of the room. When they came out, the door beside them also opened, and Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin, Ah San and Ah San walked out.

Tang Yin waved his hand at them and asked: "Do you know what's going on outside?"

Cheng Jin shook his head and said, "I heard that he looks like a dead person. I'm not sure about the details."

Dead? Tang Yin frowned, with so many Rangers gathered at Laiyang, it would be normal if there was an gang fight, so what if someone died? Since he could not understand the reason why, he did not ask any further and silently quickened his pace.

Outside the inn, Tang Yin and the others followed the flow of people towards the East of City. Not long after, they neared the Eastern City gate, and here, even more people gathered, forming a large black mass. There were at least a few hundred people.

Following the crowd's gaze, Tang Yin and the rest also looked over. After looking clearly, they all gasped.

His clothes were tattered, and his body was covered with large and small wounds, dripping with blood like a bloody gourd. His chest had been stabbed through by a knife and nailed to the city wall, and at the foot of his body, there was a long piece of cloth.

From this line of text, it could be seen that the murderer was definitely one of those who were competing for the position of Alliance Head. The person who died was most likely someone who opposed him being the Alliance Head.

It's Li Jie! That is the Hall Lord that was divided into two! It was unknown who had called out the name and identity of the deceased person within the crowd, but the surrounding crowd of spectators immediately burst into an uproar.

The Branch Hall Lord of Holy Hall was actually killed, and the culprit even ruthlessly hung his corpse on the city gate. This was undoubtedly a blatant provocation towards the Holy Hall!
