Chapter 85 Night Walker (please order first!!!)
"Who is it?" Zhou Xiang heard what Chu Tang whispered and couldn't help but ask, "Is there someone in the class who is suspicious?"
"Oh!" Chu Tang came to his senses. Although his handsome face was still suspicious, he was not sure and shook his head, "No! I just suddenly thought of someone."
Zhou Xiang said "Oh" and stopped asking any more questions.
Chu Tang turned to Lai Liu and said, "Tell us the details of the two groups of people you found."
Lai Liu took out a piece of paper from nowhere, handed it to Chu Tang respectfully, and said flatteringly: "It has been prepared for your Excellency."
Chu Tang took the note and looked at it. Good guy, the address written on it is really detailed:
The mileage and route of the Chenghuang Temple outside the East City, how long it takes to ride a horse, how long it takes to walk, are all written down clearly; another person not only wrote down the location and name of the inn where he was, but even the room on which floor he lived in. Write it clearly.
This is literally a travel guide!
If you follow the address above and find it accurately, there is almost no chance of getting lost.
Glancing at Lai Liu, he felt that his humble appearance was cute. Chu Tang smiled and said, "You are serious!"
"I am willing to do my best for you!" Lai Liu smiled broadly.
Chu Tang thought for a while, took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Lai Liu, saying, "This is a reward from the leader of this class."
Lai Liuyi didn't dare to take it and turned back to see Zhou Xiang.
"Look at what I'm doing. It's not a reward for me! You can take it if it's given to you. Do you think I have to send it to you in return?" Zhou Xiang cursed with a smile.
Only then did Lai Liu take the silver reward and said, "Sir, as long as you have a destiny, Lai Liu will go wherever you want!"
Chu Tang smiled and waved his hand to let him go down.
Zhou Xiang led Lai Liu out of the door, then turned back to Chu Tang and said: "Board leader, I have asked Lai Liu to continue to pay attention to the movements of the warriors in the city. Now four iron shops in a row have lost black iron, and there has been a commotion in the city. Everyone knows it, and he can detect any unusual signs."
Chu Tang nodded, becoming more and more satisfied with Zhou Xiang's style of doing things.
This person seemed very unreliable, but he was really good at doing things. Chu Tang almost couldn't help but sigh: I can rest assured that you can do things.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Tang asked: "Brother Zhou, what do you think should be done next about the information conveyed by Lai Liu?"
Zhou Xiang asked: "The squad leader wants to ask how to face the person who looks like a guard, right?"
Chu Tang sighed: "The guards are not easy to mess with."
After Gao Tianhua left, Chu Tang found out more about the Zhen Yiwei and truly understood the power of this organization.
Yao was good at martial arts, and he always treated the warriors who served the court very well. He was just a commander-in-chief like Zhuo Lien, but his cultivation in the four realms gave him the official title of the seventh rank.
The high-ranking Jianyiwei were even more favored. The commanders under the Yizhou Command Post like Gao Tianhua were given the rank of Sixth Grade.
The commander is just a team under the direct control of the command post. There is also the town governor who leads the Yiyi Guards of the state, and several deputy town governors.
The deputy town governor is a fifth-rank official, and the town governor is a fourth-rank official!
The royal family seems to be very generous, giving them grades at all costs, as if they don't even bother to use the grades from the first level in the middle, and they often jump to two levels in a row.
What is the concept of fourth-grade official title?
The governor who is in charge of the political affairs of a state is only of the fourth rank!
Moreover, as members of the royal family, the local guards also have the power to kill first and then report later, which the governor does not have.
It's no wonder that they shout such arrogant and domineering slogans as "As soon as the armor comes out, the warriors surrender; destroy the gangs and sects, and the imperial power will grant it."
With such a privileged institution, who would dare to provoke people with no local background or influence?
The most important thing is that they also have high-end force that other organizations do not have!
It is said that among the governors of Yizhou, the Sixth Realm is standard equipment, and some are even strong in the Seventh Realm.
Those who have cultivated in the upper three realms are already among the top group of warriors. No one dares to resist suppressing one party.
Hearing Chu Tang's emotion, Zhou Xiang realized that the squad leader in front of him had really included Zhen Yiwei as a suspect. He was so frightened that he quickly said: "Squad leader, you are following and investigating Zhen Yiwei without any evidence." Wei, not to mention the head catcher can’t hold it, even the county guard can’t hold it!”
Chu Tang was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I did think of a person and something just now."
"Um?"
"Didn't a chief of Zhen Yiwei bring someone to our county to handle a case a few days ago? He tried my skills. During the fight, I found that he had practiced a very cold technique, and his palms were as cold as ice. Also, he is in the fifth realm! Does such a person sound familiar to you?"
Zhou Xiang's expression suddenly changed after hearing this, and he blurted out: "Hu's Iron Shop! Boss Hu said that the person who attacked him was at least fifth level cultivation level. But after he was attacked, he was completely cold and unable to move..."
Five realms!
Yin Han Kung Fu!
Isn’t this a perfect fit with the Chief of the Guards that Chu Tang mentioned? !
Could it be...
Zhou Xiang couldn't bear to imagine anymore, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He couldn't help but ask: "Why? The guards have nothing, so they have to rob?"
Chu Tang said quietly: "Xuan Tie is so touching. We have three kilograms there, plus what we robbed from three other families, it adds up to six or seven kilograms. If he still has a similar amount in his hand, nearly twenty kilograms of Xuan Tie Iron, let alone the fifth-grade magic weapon, it is possible for sixth-grade and seventh-grade weapons!"
"Seventh-grade divine weapon?" Zhou Xiang was shocked, his eyes glowed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is a great motive. Squad leader, let's go check on him first?"
"No!" Chu Tang categorically denied, "Let's check the people from the City God's Temple first."
"Why?"
"A guy who pretended to be naive told me a truth, that is: eliminate all impossibilities, no matter what is left is unbelievable, it is also the truth!"
"Uh..." Zhou Xiang said he didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked and believed.
Chu Tang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "The elimination method! The guards are not easy to mess with, and I'm not stupid. If I go up and check someone else, am I looking for abuse? I'll check the other suspects first. If the check is correct, everything will be fine." Hugh. If the suspicion is eliminated, then the target will naturally be transferred."
Zhou Xiang understood, and thought there was no way out, but he said: "The leader of the class is wise!"
Chu Tang sighed: "It's better not to be in a dark mood!"
Zhou Xiang was stunned, and after a while he asked: "Squad leader, now that the direction is clear, shall we unite our troops and kill towards the City God's Temple outside the city?"
Chu Tang waved his hand and said, "There's no rush. We'll talk about it tomorrow. First go and find me a map of the inside and outside of Guijun City."
Map, map also.
Zhou Xiang didn't understand Chu Tang's intention for a while, so he went to find the map at the latter's urging.
Looking at Zhou Xiang's retreating figure, and then looking at the sky, it was already evening, the sky was gloomy, and the night was slowly falling.
"In Shi County, you have to worry about the people below, but when you come to Gui County, you are still like this..." Chu Tang looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and said in a long voice, "It's so difficult for me!"
Why?
If Hu Jiacheng hadn't lied, and as a top martial artist in the three realms, he still couldn't make a single move against the thief, then how could he, Chu Tang, with his three melons and two jujubes, be able to deal with him? !
The current Guijun police force consists of Wu Yi and Xu Feng, two warriors who have just entered the Third Realm. Moreover, others such as Zhou Xiang and others are only at the Second Realm.
What's the difference between asking this group of people to capture thieves above the fifth level and giving away their heads?
Therefore, for the sake of their lives, Chu Tang planned to leave them behind and prepare to visit the Chenghuang Temple alone at night.
If nothing else, first find out the opponent's approach and then look at the situation.
His temperament did not allow him to fight an uncertain battle, so he first asked someone to get a map and get a clear understanding of the terrain inside and outside the city.
You don’t want to know everything, but you want to be able to figure out the best escape option when nothing can be done - well, this is very Chu Tang!
Now that he has entered the fifth realm, he has light skills such as stepping on the snow without traces, plus a Tiangang Disintegration Dafa secret skill that can explode across borders to kill enemies. Even if he encounters a warrior from the sixth realm, he is still capable of fighting, which is the worst. There should be no problem if you apply oil to the soles of your feet.
This is also the reason why he dares to take risks alone.
Normally, if he had to risk his life to explore the road, he wouldn't even think about it!
With his mind wandering, Zhou Xiang soon found a map, and Chu Tang let him go after taking it.
He spread out the map and studied it carefully. It wasn't until his stomach growled that Chu Tang realized it was time for dinner.
The sky was completely dark, with dark clouds in the sky, surrounding the moonlight, making it pitch black.
The lights of the county government office were lit, and there were still people coming and going where the police officers were working, and there was a lot of noise.
Chu Tang went to the cafeteria to eat and then slowly returned to his residence.
He had no family in Gui County and had no plans to buy a family property for the time being, so he settled in the county government courtyard.
This is a temporary residence for government officials who have no place to go. Among the arresters, not only Chu Tang, but also dozens of people like him are taking help.
In fact, living close to the office has advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that it's close, so you don't have to go home in the dark or get up early to leave home. The meals are also prepared by a dedicated chef, and food and accommodation are included, which is very convenient.
The disadvantage is that it is too close to the office. If there is an emergency, this person will be the first to be called, and you can't avoid it even if you want to.
Chu Tang felt that it was convenient and comfortable now, and he wished he could live in poverty and live in the county government.
In the side room, he did not move immediately, but took out a long knife and wiped it again and again.
The county government did not have a fourth-grade long sword, and the weapons entrusted to the Hu family's iron shop had an accident. Chu Tang still used a third-grade long sword.
The knife was very ordinary, but Chu Tang polished it so brightly that it was as bright as a mirror with a cold light.
Keng!
Chu Tang slowly inserted the knife into the scabbard without resting, sitting upright on the bed and meditating to adjust his breathing.
His breathing was long, and he could see his skill between each exhalation and inhalation, and his whole body glowed faintly.
Time passed little by little, and there was a loud bang outside.
It’s Hai hour!
Chu Tang opened his eyes, jumped out of bed, picked up a long knife, left the room, walked quickly to the outside of the county government office, checked the direction, and ran eastward.
The east city gate was closed, and the defenders only let them in after showing their identification.
Outside the city, I climbed onto the stone bridge of the moat and had no intention of enjoying the spring night scenery. Accompanied by the rushing water, I ran along the coast for three or four miles and saw a City God's Temple in the distance.
"This is it!" Chu Tang looked up.
This City God's Temple occupies a large area. It is not said to be magnificent, but it is also simple and majestic.
Chu Tang has already learned about the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the city. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, many people come here to offer incense and worship.
However, it is the end of the month, and the popularity is very low. It is located in the mountainous forest in the northeast, and not many people usually come here to hang out. When night falls, even the barking of dogs is rare.
Chu Tang took off the package from his back and quickly took out a set of clothes and put them on.
Soon, he was dressed in black, with a black scarf covering his face, and he was completely a night walker - the man in black.
Touching the clothes on his body, Chu Tang chuckled, finally feeling like a Jianghu person!
Others can kill people and set fires as soon as they put on black clothes, but he, Chu Tang, wants to prove with facts that as long as they are willing, police officers can also be night walkers!
On this trip, he came out in regular clothes, and hidden in his bag were night clothes that he had prepared for a long time.
Now, it's reversed.
Putting the baggage with daily clothes on his back, Chu Tang felt under the outer wall on the north side of the City God's Temple, raised his head and took stock.
This place is behind the main hall of the Chenghuang Temple, and there is a small ditch surrounding the wall, so no one should approach it.
The wall is built high and elegantly, with blue bricks and a gray surface. It is three to four feet high and is difficult for ordinary people to climb.
But for the current Chu Tang, this height is nothing to worry about.
As soon as Tiyun Zong is used, he can jump to the top of the wall without even kicking the wall, and will not make any noise to alert others.
After thinking about it, I was about to use my kung fu, but before I could make a move, I suddenly heard a "squeak" from the main door more than ten feet away.
The door of the City God's Temple was opened from the inside!
Chu Tang made a move, thinking that he had been discovered, and was about to meet the enemy, but found that the people filing out of the temple were running straight forward without noticing him at all.
"Going out in the middle of the night?" Chu Tang suddenly realized something was going on. He lowered his body, hid his figure, and held his breath to pay attention to the front.
When there was no movement behind the door, he confidently used Qinggong to chase after him.
No trace on the snow!
As tall as a feather and as fast as an arrow, Chu Tang caught up with the figures in front of him in an instant.
Under the night, he was like a ghost, following him everywhere, but no one noticed his presence.
After following for two miles, we came to a small forest by a lake. The person in front stopped.
Chu Tang also stopped and looked around. The trees were towering, making it a good place to hide.
He walked lightly around to the foot of a big tree, and with gentle hands and feet, he climbed up the tree like a monkey. He used the trunk of the tree as a shield to observe the people in front of him from a distance.
The two sides were only a few feet apart, and Chu Tang could even hear their voices, but the distance was a bit far away. Even at the night market, under the dark forest, he couldn't see other people's faces clearly, and could only vaguely distinguish three people.
But the three of them exchanged a few words, and upon hearing their voices, Chu Tang was sure that they were acquaintances——
It was the same group of people who blocked and killed them on the river that day.
The woman in red from the Five Realms!
Poison Dragon Hand Sun Qiang!
Tingfengguijianyanjiu!
"It's okay now, we are all old enemies!" Chu Tang was surprised, "What are these guys doing here from the Chenghuang Temple where there is no one in the middle of the night?"
Just as he was thinking about it, another person suddenly walked out from the depths of the woods, and at the same time a hoarse voice came: "You guys are here!"
The sound was like a donkey braying, and it was extremely harsh in the silent night under the forest.
At first glance, it sounds very scary and chilling!
