Chapter 63: Is This Still Human?
As the night gets deeper, the market in Haidai County becomes deserted.
Get it!
Da da da da da!
Suddenly, bursts of rapid horse hooves sounded, disturbing the people. People woke up in their sleep, looking confused, not knowing what had happened.
Those who are interested immediately realized that something must have happened in the city, and it was a big deal.
...
The Governor's Office is brightly lit.
Bang!
The general Zhou Zhongda, wearing plain clothes, slapped the coffee table beside him, and the coffee table made of solid wood immediately broke into pieces and broke all over the floor.
Zhou Zhongda stood up suddenly, nearly two meters tall, as strong as a mountain: "Rebellion! Rebellion!"
The roar seemed to be thundering: "How dare you sneak into Haidai County to assassinate? Is this going to rebel?"
He glanced at him and looked ferocious: "And you, you didn't notice such a big thing at all in advance?"
There were several generals standing in the hall, one by one, lowering their heads, not daring to breathe.
After getting angry, Zhou Zhongda shouted: "Hu Gui... How is Mr. Hu now?"
A general reported: "The whereabouts are unknown, life and death are uncertain... But with his ability, he should have found a place to hide."
Zhou Zhongda's face was as deep as water: "He must not have anything to do, he cannot have something to do in Haidai County anyway. Song Qiong, you immediately ignite a Thousand Divine Armor Army and the whole city is martial law. As long as the suspect is found, kill him or her."
"Here."
A general responded to his order and turned around and ran out.
Zhou Zhongda continued to issue orders: "Pengpu, Yang Fan, you each lead two hundred Shenjia troops, and divide the troops into two groups. Looking for the whereabouts of Mr. Hu, you must protect him. By the way, focus on searching for the area near Yuanxin Lake to see if you have found any."
"Here."
The two generals were ordered and rushed out.
Zhou Zhongda sighed and was very upset.
A staff member dressed in a literati below said, "The situation is not clear now. If Mr. Hu really encounters an accident, if we can catch the perpetrator, should we keep a living to deal with the anger in the palace?"
Zhou Zhongda smiled bitterly and said, "You can't let go, let alone keep it. You must kill it on the spot. This is the best solution."
The scribe suddenly remembered the identities and origins of these attackers, understood and stopped saying a word.
Zhou Zhongda asked again: "The county magistrate's yamen and the Taoist Governor's Office, they should have received the news, right?"
"I've come and report it. Mr. Hu's men and guards are all crazy."
"Who isn't crazy? I'm going crazy!"
Zhou Zhongda muttered.
It was only one night before, as planned, Hu Zining would set off for Shou'an early tomorrow morning. Once he left, the world was peaceful and the entire Haidai County had completed the task.
Did you ever think something happened tonight?
Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival!
Damn it!
The more Zhou Zhongda thought about it, the more irritable he became: "Come, wear armor, I want to go to the Daoting Governor's Office."
...
Daoting Governor's Office.
Inner Court.
The lights shone with shadows, and more than a dozen Taoists were sitting, all of whom were old, with long beards and floating, vaguely showing the demeanor of a fairy family.
But their faces were all irritable and restless.
"Crazy, so crazy!"
"I really dare to chase after me and attack. Is it a rebellion?"
The Taoists shouted.
"quiet!"
An old Taoist sitting at the top of the head shouted in a deep voice: "When things are you confused, what kind of Tao do you practice?"
The Taoists quickly calmed down.
The old Taoist said again: "It has happened, and how much you condemn or how you feel upset is useless. The most urgent thing is to find someone first. As long as the person is not dead, it can be saved."
A Taoist said: "The Lord, a general from the Central Army has sent over there to attack with all his strength. The nobleman Hu was injured and had not healed. I'm afraid..."
The old Taoist is the governor of the Haidai County Daoting Governor's Office. His magic name is "Tongxuan Zhenren". He is one of the thirty-six Zhenren people in the world. His cultivation is quite good.
True Man Tongxuan snorted: "There is nothing to be afraid of, everything is undecided. Who is Mr. Hu? How could he easily die here? The governor Zhou army should send troops. Our Admiral's Office should cooperate fully and immediately summon the Taoists, mobilize personnel, and search everywhere. We must see people alive and see corpses when they die."
After a pause, he asked again: "Mr. Hu went to Wanxin Lake to raft and enjoy the moon tonight, can anyone go with him?"
The Taoists looked at each other and shook their heads: "His guards did not mention anyone."
It turned out that Madam Hu had some taboos and ordered the ban to keep the guards from telling outsiders about the existence of "Chen Youniao".
When the attack occurred, the guards guarding the shore had no backbone and had to ask the county magistrates, the military governors and other departments to make an emergency. However, during the reporting process, Chen Youniao was automatically ignored. On the one hand, for Hu Zining's reputation; on the other hand, Chen Youniao was just an irrelevant little person, and may have died in the attack. Whether to mention him or not has any effect at all.
"Supermaster, the governor Zhou is here."
"Good come, please."
Tongxuan Zhenren was revived.
The accident that happened tonight was not something that any yamen in Haidai County could bear alone. They must join forces, face it together, and bear it together.
Now that Zhou Zhongda is here, I believe that the county magistrate Cao Yuanqi will come soon...
...
However, Chen Youniao, carrying Hu Zining, strode towards the direction of the house. But on the way, he was thinking about whether it was a good choice to take people back.
The situation is messy now, and there are pursuers behind him. If they are followed by the other party and come to the door, wouldn’t it be implicated by Wang Bo, Hua Mei and the others?
In fact, Chen Youniao most wanted to send Hu Zining to the official places such as the Daoting Governor's Office and the Yamen.
However, Hu Zining's identity was not clear. Before he was stunned, he said that there were spies around him and he could not trust them.
If he was betrayed by the guards, how could the people from the yamen be entrusted?
If you send someone over, what if you send a sheep into the tiger's mouth, isn't that harming others and yourself?
For a moment, my mind was upset and I didn't know where to go.
With a "moan", there was a movement from my back.
Chen Youniao put Hu Zining down and saw that he looked listless, but fortunately he woke up.
"Senior Bird, why did you stop...can't stop..."
Chen Youniao angrily told his concerns, and he was in a dilemma. How could he not stop and think about where to go?
Hu Zining said weakly: "It's useless to think too much, go quickly, the farther you go, the better. Only in this way can you get rid of the pursuit."
Chen Youniao looked around: "We have already walked a long way."
"Not enough...not enough, keep going... I have a breath on my body, they can smell it..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Youniao was startled: "Didn't you scare me?"
"Who is in the mood to scare you at the critical moment of life and death? Listen to me, if we want to survive, we have to run away quickly."
Hu Zining said, and another dry cough was coughing, coughing up blood.
Chen Youniao glanced at the corner of his eyes and saw that the blood color was completely different, and it seemed to be light golden. I don’t know if he was wrong in a dark environment.
He was embarrassed to come over and take a closer look.
Hu Zining seemed to feel something and urged in a low voice: "Go away! I feel that they are catching up..."
Can this be felt?
clairvoyance?
Wind ears?
Chen Youniao was shocked, but the next moment, he suddenly looked up and saw a figure jumping on a roof in the distance. His shape was very strange, using hands and feet, like a beast, moving extremely fast, and smelling while walking.
