Chapter Seventy-Eight: Out of the City

From the moment he was surrounded by a strong sense of fear, Yu Xinhou lost the concept of the passage of time, he didn't know how long it took, only that the sky went from bright to dark, and finally fell into darkness, and then slowly a red glow appeared in the east, and the fear around him gradually began to subside.

For a whole day and night, Yu Xinhou was shrouded in this strong sense of fear, and when the fear dissipated, he instantly collapsed to the ground, gulping in a big gulp of air, prostrating, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he almost fainted.

Squeak –

Yu Xinhou heard a soft sound of opening the door from behind, which was the location of the side room where Zhao Li was hiding, and it was also the direction where the fear struck.

Raising the last strength left in his body, Yu Xinhou turned his head to look.

In the light brought by the red glow of the sunrise, a bald giant man who was more than two meters tall and approached about two and a half meters tall bent down and drilled out of the door and stood under the morning light.

Yu Xinhou didn't know what happened that day and night, but this giant man who had grown a lot taller was Zhao Li, there was no doubt that - after all, the face was still the same young public face, unchanged, and the iconic, almost knee-high pair of long hands were enough to prove his identity, but the clothes on his upper body had been torn off, revealing strip-like muscles like metal bumps, reflecting a faint light slightly, and the black pants on his lower body had also become ridiculous cropped pants.

But Yu Xinhou definitely couldn't laugh at this time, Zhao Li just stood there quietly, as if a wild beast was bending down to attack, Yu Zong's dart head suddenly found that in this courtyard, the silence was terrible, and the once familiar birdsong and insect song had disappeared.

"Why are you lying on the ground? Get up. Zhao Li said strangely to Yu Xinhou, who collapsed to the ground.

There was no movement, no killing intent, and even the voice did not change at all, but Yu Xinhou felt that there was a completely different feeling in his ears, it was an unquestionable attitude, as if someone had injected strength out of thin air, Yu Xinhou was able to tremble and support himself to stand up.

······

At the gate of Xishan City, the city gate has just opened, it is still early, there are few pedestrians, cars and horses entering and leaving, and the soldiers guarding the city are gathering together to chat and pass the time.

"I searched the city for two days, and I didn't catch a single suspect, I heard that the thief was a master of light skills of the Demon Sect on the rivers and lakes, and he had already fled over the city wall and outside the city. A veteran oilman munched on a scone for breakfast while talking about the lace news he had heard.

"Eat your breakfast well, let out less fart, our city wall is fifteen zhang high, even some bullshit Demon Sect ancestor can't be reborn. The captain of the city defense team scolded directly, a county town like Xishan City had considered whether it would be overturned by masters in the face of siege at the beginning of its construction.

"Captain, I always think that the thief entered the city through our gate, the bald man I stopped that day and was released by you..." Another young soldier on the side spoke.

"Fuck your stinky fart!" the captain scolded even more, and at the same time was so frightened that he hurriedly looked around.

The bald man who did the earth-shattering case in the city is afraid that he is the most notorious Jiangyang thief in recent years, and if he catches either Ling Chi or the five horses and splits the corpse, if he doesn't do it, he will be punished with the clan, if Shangguan knows that he came in from their city gate, his entire team will not end well, and a black pot of "dereliction of duty" and "lax guarding" will definitely fall.

"You kid, don't talk nonsense, there are not ten bald giants who enter and exit from the city gate every day, but there are eight, is it possible that all of them are thieves?"

"Let me emphasize again, our team guarding the city gate is strictly in accordance with the rules of the imperial court, and will never indulge any Jiangyang thief to enter and leave Xishan City!

The captain of the guard was halfway through his lecture to the young guard, but was interrupted by the old soldier.

"Captain, look over there..." I saw the old soldier pointing blankly to the distance of the street, his mouth was a little wide open, and he could see that there were still unchewed pieces of bread on his tongue.

The captain of the guard turned his head to look, and in an instant, his eyes fell into a daze, and his mouth opened involuntarily.

A bald man almost as tall as the eaves of the buildings on the street was striding towards the city gate, surrounded by passers-by who were no more than chest-high enough to be tall, and more importantly strong.

The upper body was just a sleeveless gown that was propped up and would tear at any moment, and the two extremely long arms that hung down to the knees were so bare in the air, showing off the strips of muscles on the arms like iron, a well-shaved bald head that could almost reflect the morning light, a short black stubble around the lips and chin, and an inexplicable fierce look on the face.

This super-burly giant man walked very much, and appeared at the street entrance from a distance, but in a few breaths, he walked not far from the city gate.

Boom –

When the giant man really approached the city gate, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate couldn't help but swallow their saliva in unison.

It's too strong, and other than that, everyone who comes close smells of something called 'danger'...

"Uhh Uh, when, that man..."

The young soldier at the gate shouted with some disapproval—as soon as he shouted, the young man regretted it, he was just shouting out habitually...

Before the young soldier could finish speaking, the captain of the guard and the veteran soldier on the side grabbed his hands at the same time, especially the captain of the guard, with so much force that he could almost break his bones.

"Well, is there something wrong?" the bald giant man stopped, tilted his head, and looked at the loud little soldier, as well as the captain of the guard and the veteran oil on the side.

Boom –

The young soldier couldn't help but swallow his saliva nervously again, the distance was so close that he could even clearly see the hairs on the other party's strong arms, the arms were really about the same thickness as his waist, and the blue-black veins on the arms were as thick as fingers!

Moving his gaze from his arm to the other party's face, the young soldier was almost holding his breath, the other party's slightly downward, slightly triangular eyes were like two cold swords, and the circle of stubble on his lips... It didn't seem to be sticky?, the young soldier's mind suddenly popped into this strange thought.

The young soldier couldn't help but look back at the wanted notice with the portrait of the bald murderer posted on the wall behind him, and then compared it with the giant man in front of him...

"There is a city in the city, there is some chaos, good, good, good man all the way, be careful..." The captain of the guard on the side stammered his words after thinking frantically for ten breaths, under the gaze of the giant man.

The strong and tall giant man nodded casually, and continued to stride towards the city gate, and an ordinary man on the side could keep up with his pace with a trot - it was Yu Xinhou, the little follower.
