As time went by, the bustle of the day gradually cooled down and the streets became deserted.

The atmosphere gradually became cold and solemn.

Mr. Liu still lived in the shabby house on Tuipi Street, waiting for news from the mansion in the south.

He has to find out the identity of the guy who entered the port today.

Then decide whether to proceed to the next step.

The moonlight shone through the window, but Master Liu felt a little irritated. He always felt that the moon tonight was a little too dazzling, making it difficult for him to calm down.

After another half an incense stick of time, Sixth Master stood up, kicked the stool in front of him away, and walked into the courtyard.

He originally wanted to come out to take a breath, but as soon as he went out, he smelled a faint murderous aura in the air.

Liu Ye's heart skipped a beat, as if he had a bad feeling.

So he hurried out the door.

The beggars hiding at the door heard the noise and looked up quickly. They only saw a shadow in the moonlight. One of them spoke to confirm,

"Sixth Master?"

"It's me. Is there any news from the south?"

The beggar breathed a sigh of relief and replied,

"not yet."

Upon hearing this, Sixth Master stood there in silence for a while.

The beggar thought something had happened and became very nervous.

"Sixth Master?"

The Sixth Master was torn between inner and outer thoughts for a moment, then he sighed.

"Nothing..."

As he was about to close the door and go back to the yard, he felt restless and uneasy when he was halfway through closing the door, so he opened the door directly.

"I'm going to the south to check out the situation. You don't have to follow me!"

Although the two beggars felt strange, they still agreed obediently.

Although Liu Ye didn't think there was anything in the city that could threaten him, out of caution he still walked carefully in the shade.

The small county town is not big. Under normal circumstances, the north of the city is only a stick of incense away from the south.

But today, in order to avoid sight, the Sixth Master actually spent half an hour.

The closer they got to the south of the city, the more cautious Liu Ye became.

But he walked all the way to Forgo Chong's mansion and did not find anything unusual.

Sixth Master thought to himself that he was too suspicious.

Just when he was about to go home, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past the opposite wall from the corner of his eye, and Liu Ye's heart was shocked.

It felt like my feet were rooted to the ground, making it difficult to move even a step.

Liu Ye never believed in illusions.

His head is on the line every day, so how could he dare to slack off for even a moment?

He couldn't be distracted for a moment, or his head would be moved, so he couldn't afford to be careless.

At this moment, even the vague murderous aura in the air became more and more condensed, and Sixth Master suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

I'm afraid I can't stay in this place anymore!

Mr. Liu made a prompt decision and turned around and walked towards the Zhou family residence.

The Zhou family residence is also located in the south of the city, far away from the newly built Imperial Commissioner's Mansion.

At first, the Sixth Master thought that this imperial envoy was too particular about pomp and circumstance, which was really disgusting.

But today, he secretly felt fortunate for the imperial envoy's choice.

After arriving at the place, Liu Ye was not sure if there were any spies near Zhou's house, but he didn't care about much now and went straight forward and knocked on the door.

After an incense stick of time, Sixth Master led a dozen burly men and headed straight for the nearest city gate.

Mr. Liu was worried that there were deployments at the city gate, so the people he brought were all good fighters who could fight five at a time.

It was almost the evening hour and the streets were deserted. Even though the group of more than a dozen people were careful enough to hide, they still bumped into each other occasionally, and Liu Ye's anxiety deepened.

None of these idiots are really useful!

When they were still several dozen meters away from the city gate, Liu Ye looked at the quiet gate tower, pointed at someone at random, and asked him to go forward and find the city defense commander.

He spent so much money on maintaining the city defense on weekdays, and today it's their turn to repay him.

He himself would not take risks easily.

The person being pointed out couldn't help but feel suspicious.

As soon as Mr. Liu came in today, he started counting people and didn't say anything else. Why does he act like he's running for his life now?

Could something have happened?

Although he had some suspicions in his mind, he was used to being arrogant and domineering in his daily life, so he had nothing to be afraid of and just walked to the foot of the city wall in a brazen manner.

The gatekeeper saw him and stopped him.

“Who is it?!”

The man shouted loudly,

"I am the steward of the Zhou family. I have something important to do tonight and need to go out. Please give me some space!"

The person guarding the East Gate was Zakson. Hearing the noise, he came out of the gate tower and looked down at the people standing in the open space.

Zhou's house is apparently located in the south of the city, but it is relatively close to the east gate.

Zaxon glanced around and didn't see any other figures, but he didn't dare to slack off.

It is curfew now. Could it be that this person who left the city alone has noticed something?

How could he dare to let people go when the deputy general's troops had not yet arrived to besiege the city?

If he doesn't let him go, what if this person is just a cover? He's afraid that it will alert the enemy.

Zaxon also knew that he couldn't delay for too long, so he said to the soldiers around him,

"Go down and tell him that the commander is drinking in the South City Gate Tower. You don't have the authority to open the city gate, but you can ask him to go up along the city wall to the South City Gate Tower to find the commander and explain the situation."

The soldier agreed and then trotted down to negotiate with the man.

Zaxon watched the two men finish their conversation, and then the man turned and walked into the city, his right hand unconsciously placed on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

It seems that this person really has a big fish hanging behind him.

But, is he going to go and hunt him down?

But if he left the city gate, and if someone took advantage of the situation and got out, he would be committing a serious crime.
