At the prison gate, because it was the middle of the night, the prison guards were also quite sleepy.
However, this night watchman was different from the previous two guards; he remained extremely vigilant even in his sleep.
Qiu Dafu, holding a long sword, stepped forward slowly, his feet light on the ground.
As soon as he approached, the jailer instantly sobered up. "Who goes there?"
Qiu Dafu glanced coldly at the man, then drew his sharp blade.
The moment he made his move, the night watchman bent sideways, turned around, and swiftly drew his sword, blocking Qiu Dafu's attack. "Guards..."
As soon as he said it, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Turning around, the gleaming blade of the sword was particularly dazzling in the moonlight.
"No...don't kill me..."
Qiu Dafu: "Do you recognize this sword?"
He suspected that the man named Chu Tian was in cahoots with the robbers.
If he suspected something was wrong, he would kill the jailer in front of him.
Only then did the jailer on night watch notice the long sword in Qiu Dafu's hand.
Upon closer inspection, he slowly shook his head, "I don't recognize him."
Qiu Dafu: "This is Chu Tian's sword."
"General Chu's sword?"
The jailer was puzzled; he had only heard that General Chu had been seriously wounded in the last battle.
Later, General Chu disappeared.
Despite his lowly status, General Chu was renowned and known to all.
Now, General Chu is actually handing his precious sword to the man in front of him.
This person must be someone of great importance.
Thinking of this, he knelt down with a thud, prostrating himself, "It was my fault for being blind and disrespectful to Your Excellency. However... I have a question: why is General Chu's sword in your hands?"
Forced to become a prison guard, he had to be constantly vigilant and careful in everything he did.
General Chu...?
What country is this General Chu from?
Qiu Dafu then realized that the man was actually a general, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Regardless of his identity, Qiu Dafu was certain that this person was an enemy, not a friend.
His guess was confirmed, and he was incredibly surprised.
No wonder, that person's strength far surpasses his.
If it weren't for his quick thinking, he might have already become a dead soul under Chu Tian's sword.
"You'll have to ask Chu Tian about that yourself!" Qiu Dafu said coldly, his voice even colder.
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare." How could a lowly person like him inquire about General Chu's affairs?
The jailer on night duty slowly shook his head. This man dared to address General Chu by his given name. It seemed that his guess was correct; this man's status was indeed not low.
Immediately afterward, several jailers rushed out. "Who's making a scene here?"
"Don't make a move! This gentleman is General Chu's man. Everyone, please don't make a move! Please don't make a move!"
The jailer who had been guarding the gate hurriedly got up and stood in front of Qiu Dafu, afraid that his men would offend him and cause General Chu to blame him.
Qiu Dafu had no intention of prolonging the fight. He looked indifferently at the group of prison guards and said, "The fire at the government office, in my guess, is caused by a traitor within the army!"
From this moment forward, you shall all proceed immediately to the inner courtyard of the government office to assist in the search for the missing person.
A hefty reward will be given to anyone who captures the traitor before dawn!
Now that the people have come out on their own, Qiu Dafu will definitely try to get them all away.
A fire broke out? Only then did the jailers notice the raging fire in the government office.
The night watchman looked conflicted: "But... guarding the prison is our duty..." It was his turn to be on night watch today, and if anything went wrong, he would be in grave danger.
Qiu Dafu: "This prison is airtight, not even a mouse can get out. We don't need so many people, just two guards will suffice."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
The jailer on night watch nodded repeatedly.
Thinking of something, the jailer spoke again: "I have one more question."
