Chapter Twenty-Eight
After returning home, Zhao Long took a short rest and thought about what happened these days.
"For me to be ignored by no one in Cangqing City, it must be led by Huo Mingjue, and even County Magistrate Zhang Su may have acquiesced."
"In this case, there is no place for me to stand in this Cangqing City. The only way to survive now is to leave this Cangqing City and look for opportunities to make a comeback."
Zhao Long was not a loner in the first place. In the past, there were many people who flattered him around him.
But in just a few days, he became a loner, and no one was willing to pay attention to him, which made him extremely resentful.
And with that comes fear!
He never wanted to experience that feeling that he was the only one in the world.
That's why he left angrily, and now he is planning to leave Cangqing City.
As long as he leaves Cangqing City, the influence of Huo Mingjue and others will naturally be gone, and he will be able to live a normal life.
"All this is because of Xu Rong. If this little brat hadn't complained in front of the county magistrate, I wouldn't be in the situation I am in now. I might even have become a head catcher, instead of becoming a bereaved dog like I am now!"
Thinking of Xu Rong, Zhao Long gritted his teeth with hatred and wished to kill Xu Rong directly.
Just thinking about Xu Rong's strength when he was in Linxi Town before, he felt a drumbeat in his heart again.
Being able to become the deputy chief of the police, naturally he is not only capable of flattering others, but his cultivation level has also reached the realm of internal refining.
Among all the detectives, he is relatively outstanding.
But Xu Rong was the deputy helmsman of the White Lotus Sect who had previously forcibly held back the Blood Furnace Realm.
From his perspective, Xu Rong has reached the realm of marrow refining.
From this point of view, if he wanted to kill Xu Rong, it would be impossible unless he used some other means.
"That's all, it's better not to cause trouble. Just wait until I make a comeback in the future and then find a way to retaliate."
"As the saying goes, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. I can afford to wait!"
"But now, it's better to pack your things and leave quickly, otherwise it would be terrible if Huo Mingjue and the others were to kill them all."
Zhao Long stood up and started to pack his things, packing all the valuable things and preparing to take them away.
As for some odds and ends, such as clothes, he didn't plan to bring more, just enough for a change of clothes.
By the time everything was done, it was already afternoon.
After eating something casually, Zhao Long began to wait impatiently.
"At this point, there are more people everywhere in the city, and the people at the city gate are also more energetic."
"When the city gate is about to close, I will take the opportunity to sneak out. By then, the world is big and I can go anywhere."
Zhao Long was now worried that someone was watching him outside, so he planned to wait until the city gate was about to close before rushing over.
At that time, even if someone is following him, as long as his cultivation level is not as good as his, there will be no way to stop him from going out.
When we leave the city, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.
Time passes slowly, the autumn sunset comes earlier, and the sky is already a little dark.
Zhao Long quietly walked out of the back door of his house, and then went straight to the south gate.
Xu Rong and Liu Zizai were in charge of the Beicheng District in the outer city. Now that he was walking through the South City Gate, he would naturally avoid the area they were responsible for.
Along the way, Zhao Long was wearing a bamboo hat on his head, his head slightly lowered, and he was walking in a hurry.
It wasn't until he arrived at the South City Gate that Zhao Long relaxed a little.
The city gate is right in front of him. As long as he gets out of here, he will be safe.
The soldiers guarding the city were lazy and didn't pay attention to Zhao Long.
Zhao Long, who followed the ordinary people out of the city, could no longer suppress the joy in his heart.
He ran quickly, and when he was far away from the crowd, he laughed loudly, like a madman.
"Huo Mingjue, Liu Zizai, and Xu Rong'er, just wait for me. One day, I will cut you into pieces to avenge today!"
"You don't have to wait until later, come now, I'll give you this chance."
A clear and cold voice suddenly emerged from behind Zhao Long, shocking him to the point of death.
Zhao Long turned around quickly and saw a young man with an upright posture, deep features, and sharp eyes holding a knife in his left hand and looking at him leisurely.
"Why...are you here?"
Zhao Long's voice stuttered a bit, and he kept retreating while speaking.
"Of course I followed you here."
Xu Rong said calmly: "If I didn't want to find a place with few people, so as not to cause some panic, I wouldn't bother to run so far away."
"You want to kill me?"
Zhao Long's voice was trembling, "You can't kill me. You are a police officer. Killing people indiscriminately is knowing the law and breaking the law. The crime will be increased!"
He kept going backwards until he hit a tree.
Xu Rong approached slowly: "There are only you and me here. As long as I don't tell, who will know that I killed him?"
"Besides, even if someone guesses something, who will help you appeal? Have you forgotten how to treat other people in the yamen?"
Every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhao Long's heart.
When everyone ignored him, he should have guessed that everyone wanted to get rid of him.
It was precisely because he was keenly aware of this danger that he subconsciously felt that it was too dangerous to stay in Cangqing City and wanted to escape from the city.
But he didn't expect that Xu Rong would follow him all the way. What he thought was an escape was just a trick.
Thinking of this, Zhao Long's face became even more ugly, and despair even rose in his heart.
All his thoughts were clearly understood by his enemies. He was just struggling in a web, just like prey on a spider web.
"Xu Rong, the enmity between you and me is just because of the one hundred taels of pension. Now I will give you one thousand taels of silver, ten times as much. How about you let me go?"
Looking at Zhao Long who looked frightened, Xu Rong chuckled: "A mere one hundred taels of pension?"
He took two more steps forward, looked directly into Zhao Long's eyes, and said coldly: "One hundred taels of silver is indeed not much, but this is what my third uncle earned with his life. You want this kind of money, you
Are you still human?"
Zhao Long's expression changed, and he felt the murderous intent from Xu Rong's body.
He gave himself a slap, and then begged for mercy: "I'm not a human being, but I already know that I was wrong. Can you just let me live? I promise that I will never cause you trouble in the future."
"Aren't you going to cause trouble for me?"
Xu Rong laughed angrily, "Where do you get the confidence to negotiate terms with me?"
