At that time, it will be the fourth talent unlocking.

In Xuanyang City.

It was afternoon, and the city was bustling.

People were everywhere on both sides of the street, gathered together, talking and looking towards the main road in the distance.

"That Yang Hongtian, General Yang, has truly risen rapidly in the ranks. I remember that more than half a year ago, he was just serving as a General in the Desolate State. I didn't expect him to be promoted so quickly by the Court and transferred to the land of Pingzhou. Pingzhou is much more prosperous and affluent than the Desolate State. More importantly, Pingzhou has no war or refugees. Being a General here must be quite comfortable."

In the crowd, Zhao Houcai, known as the "Throat-lock Hand," clicked his tongue repeatedly, looking with envy at a group of government soldiers on the main road.

A large number of the Red Flame Army could be seen walking on the wide main road, along with officers from the government offices and Chief Constables from the Six-Door Headquarters, specifically maintaining order.

In the central area, a tall middle-aged man in a green robe and armor sat astride a fine horse, his expression calm, walking forward surrounded by a group of generals on either side.

Beside him were the City Lord of Xuanyang and the Grand Commandant of Pingzhou, who were smiling sycophantically, following behind and echoing his words.

Besides them, some experts from the Six-Door Headquarters were also smiling broadly, trying to ingratiate themselves.

"Dad, is it true that General Yang got promoted to General of Pingzhou by defeating Zhao Tianlong of the Red Turban Army?"

Beside him, Zhao Feiyan, who was charming and bright-eyed, looked at Yang Hongtian with wide eyes.

"Most likely it's true. I've seen Yang Hongtian before. His methods are quite extraordinary, definitely not something an ordinary person can match."

Zhao Houcai replied.

"No wonder he's doing so well."

Zhao Feiyan nodded repeatedly, looked at her dad, and said, "Dad, look at you, running from the Desolate State to Pingzhou, you're just getting worse!"

"You ungrateful child, it's all because of you!"

Zhao Houcai burst into anger.

"Junior Sister, you should speak less."

Shangguan Yun showed a bitter smile.

When will this Junior Sister ever learn to change her chatty nature?

"Dad, what are they going to do?"

Zhao Feiyan stuck out her tongue, looked at the street again, and asked in confusion.

"Who knows."

Zhao Houcai gently shook his head.

"You don't know? General Yang has just been transferred here. The City Lord of Xuanyang and the Grand Commandant of Pingzhou are planning to host a welcoming banquet for General Yang at the Drunken Immortal Tower. Not only them, but the renowned wealthy families in the city have all been invited, even some famous Jianghu figures have received invitation cards. It's truly enviable!"

A big man nearby suddenly responded.

"Oh? So many people were invited?"

Zhao Houcai showed surprise.

"You all don't need to think about it. The Jianghu figures invited over there are at least at the tenth level of Entering Strength. Do any of you have that?"

The big man looked at Zhao Houcai.

Zhao Houcai coughed lightly, didn't speak further.

He's indeed at the tenth level of Entering Strength!

However, this kind of excitement, it's better for him not to participate.

If Yang Hongtian pulled him into the military camp, that would be troublesome.

When he was in the Desolate State, he knew too well about Yang Hongtian's reputation. The chaos in the Desolate State was inextricably linked to Yang Hongtian,

"Let's go. Don't watch anymore."

Zhao Houcai said, beckoning to his disciples and daughter, then turned to leave.

"Hey, isn't that Elder Zhao, the Throat-lock Hand, in front?"

Just after passing a road junction, a delighted voice suddenly came from not far away.

Zhao Houcai first looked confused, showing doubt, then suddenly his heart trembled, almost jumping up in fright.

Why does this voice sound so familiar?

He quickly turned around to look, and even his disciples and daughter also looked back.

At a glance, Zhao Houcai's eyes widened, trembling with fear, almost unable to resist turning around and running away.

Jiang Shi!

How did he run into this harbinger of disaster again!

Zhao Houcai lamented in his heart.

He had fled from the Desolate State to Pingzhou, and yet he still encountered this monster?

Even his disciples and daughter were all shocked, dumbfounded.

Jiang Shi, with a look of joy on his face, was riding on a huge Demon Horse, approaching.

"Elder Zhao, you and I are truly destined, meeting again so soon. I thought you had also been taken down the last time at the Black Cloud Stronghold."

Jiang Shi said with a smile.

This feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land is truly wonderful!

"Yes, what a coincidence, truly a coincidence."

Zhao Houcai was drenched in cold sweat, continuously wiping the sweat on his forehead, and forcing a smile: "Young Hero Jiang, I suddenly remembered we have other things. How about I treat you to a meal some other day?"

"No need, I'm here to ask Elder Zhao something."

Jiang Shi gently shook his head, smiling: "How about talking somewhere else?"

"Well... all right."

Zhao Houcai responded with bitterness.

In the face of Jiang Shi's invitation, he dared not refuse.

Ten minutes later.

In a roadside tavern.

Jiang Shi first ordered thirty pounds of beef and a jar of strong wine for his Demon Horse, then ordered a few bowls of tea, inviting Zhao Houcai and the others to sit down.

"Elder Zhao, you've been in Pingzhou for some time now, right? I want to ask, have you seen this person?"

Jiang Shi casually handed a painting to Zhao Houcai.

Zhao Houcai looked puzzled, gently unfolded it to view, and his expression slightly changed.

"[Golden Eye] Dugu Biao! He is a newly appointed Silver Badge Divine Catcher at the Six-Door Headquarters not long ago. His background is mysterious, and his strength is profound. It is said that his cultivation has reached the Martial Saint Realm. He is stationed in Xuanyang City, and since taking office, he has captured countless notorious criminals, holding a place of significance in the whole land of Pingzhou!"
