Chapter 1889 - Martial law throughout the city
But is Lu Zuiliu crazy?
What happened before is not over yet, are you causing trouble again now?
Neither Guan Ziyu nor Wu Yang could figure out what Lu Zuiliu wanted to do, so they went to have a chat with Feng Poshan, but Feng Poshan didn't know either.
"Forget it, let's just leave it alone. We didn't kill the person anyway."
"That's right, Ziyu, I think you should ask our people to be more careful."
"Yeah, that's fine."
Guan Ziyu and the others were thinking blindly here, but Guan Li from the patrol camp was confused and worried to death.
The bodies of dozens of patrol battalion soldiers were found. They were all killed with a sword, and the wounds were all on their necks.
Although the martial arts skills of the soldiers in the patrol camp are very low, but they can kill so many people at the same time and all with one move, the method is not bad.
Guan Li is now talking to the prefect in the Yamen. The prefect has become cruel and wants Guan Li to find out immediately.
"General Guan, I don't care what reasons you have, but now I require you to find the murderer within three days!"
"Sir, you are trying to force someone into a difficult situation!"
"Is it difficult for me to force others? General Guan, please watch your words!"
"My lord, the general will handle this matter by himself. I hope your lord will not interfere."
"I am too lazy to take care of something happening in your patrol camp, but so many people have died, which means there is a traitor at work in the city. If we don't find out as soon as possible, what will happen if innocent people are hurt?"
"Huh! Don't bother me, sir."
Guan Li didn't want to say anything more to the prefect, so he stood up and walked out, regardless of the prefect calling him from behind.
After going out, Guan Li said to Jin Feng who was waiting in front of the door: "Send someone to the city immediately to see if there is anyone suspicious. Also, inquire carefully to see who the dead sergeants are.
Where was he killed?"
"Yes, General, I will do it now!"
...
Soon, the sky got dark, and it was almost the end of Shenshi.
Outside Luzhou City, it was tense. Soldiers from the patrol battalion shuttled back and forth from time to time. There were several times more sergeants in front of the city gate than before.
At this time, a young man in white clothes was riding a horse towards the city gate.
Seeing this man, the guards in front of the city gate suddenly became nervous, because they could clearly see that the man on horseback had a sword hilt exposed behind his shoulder.
"stop!"
Just as the man was riding into the city, the guards stopped him.
The young man was none other than Chi Zhongtian, who had just arrived.
He traveled all night and was very tired. Seeing that he had arrived at Luzhou City, he relaxed and planned to take it easy to avoid making any more jokes when he saw Wuyangguan Ziyu and the others later.
Chi Zhongtian was stunned when he was shouted at by the guard in front of the city gate.
"Me?" Chi Zhongtian pointed to himself curiously.
"Yes, it's you, come down!"
"What's up?"
"Come down as soon as I ask you to do so. The patrol camp is here to check. No one is allowed to enter or leave without authorization!"
"Okay." Chi Zhongtian dismounted immediately without saying anything else.
"Did you just come into the city?"
"no."
"oh?"
When Chi Zhongtian said no, the guards became even more nervous. Immediately, more than 20 sergeants surrounded Chi Zhongtian.
"Were you in the city before?"
"No."
"Then you said you didn't just enter the city?"
"Of course I didn't just enter the city, because I haven't entered the city yet." Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.
When he said this, the guard who asked the question suddenly felt his eyes darken and almost fainted.
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, what are you doing in Luzhou City?"
"I'm here to find friends."
"Friends? What friends?"
"good friend."
"Tell me, what is your friend's name and where he lives?"
Chi Zhongtian did not feel annoyed by the continuous questioning, but felt vaguely that something big had happened.
He had come to Luzhou City often before, but he had never conducted such strict inspections.
This is certainly not aimless.
"Everyone, I want to ask, is there something going on in the city?"
"This has nothing to do with you, you just need to answer my questions."
"I am indeed here to see a friend. My friend's surname is Guan, his name is Guan Ziyu, and he lives in the Guan family in the city."
"Guan family?"
"Exactly."
"Are you a friend of Master Guan?"
"Exactly."
"good."
When he heard this man say yes, Chi Zhongtian thought he would be let in, so he smiled and prepared to lead the horse inside.
But for those who didn't expect it, the guard didn't even want to let him in.
"Go to Guan's house right away, find Head Guan, tell her that a friend is looking for her, and ask her to come out of the city to pick him up in person."
"yes!"
"Hey, that's no need." Chi Zhongtian said quickly.
"I'm sorry, something big has happened in the city now, and there's nothing we can do about it."
"Oh, this is a big deal." Normally, Chi Zhongtian wouldn't mind, but the problem is that he is very tired now and just wants to find a place to sit down, have a rest and drink a pot of tea.
So now, he is in a bad mood.
However, he would not lose his temper with these sergeants. At most, he would just be patient.
"That's fine, then it's up to you. It's just that I'm very tired from the journey. Please find me a chair."
"You sit there."
Chi Zhongtian turned around and saw a few chairs near the city gate, which seemed to be used by the sergeants for a temporary rest, so he immediately walked over.
Soon, the sergeant came to Guan's house.
Guan Ziyu was very surprised when he heard that people from the patrol camp were looking for him.
"You're looking for me?"
"Secretary Guan, the younger one is from the patrol camp. There is someone outside the city gate who says he is your friend, but we see that he is also practicing martial arts and we dare not let him in."
"My friend?"
"yes."
"Then why don't you let him in?"
"Didn't something happen in the city? Now the whole city is searching for those who practice martial arts, so..."
"What does that person look like?"
"Well... He is wearing white clothes and has a sword on his back. He looks quite delicate."
Guan Ziyu quickly thought it over in his mind.
Could it be Chi Zhongtian?
Guan Ziyu's mind was shaken and he quickly said: "Let's go, I'll go take a look with you."
"Okay, you come with me."
Guan Ziyu immediately led a dozen people to the city gate.
After arriving at the city gate, Guan Ziyu immediately saw Chi Zhongtian sitting beside him.
"Master!"
Seeing Chi Zhongtian, Guan Ziyu almost couldn't believe his eyes.
"Zi Yu." When Chi Zhongtian saw Guan Ziyu, he also stood up with a smile.
