Chapter 44: Suicide
It was only an instant when he was dazed, after entering the city, Zhao Lei did not find a hidden place to unlock the stealth technique, but found a nearby shady place, sat on the ground and observed the city gate.
Zhao Lei waited here for an afternoon, and only stood up after the curfew at the city gate was closed.
Zhao Lei watched as the soldiers neatly closed the city gates, and some of them scattered away.
Zhao Lei chose a tall and thin soldier to follow him, and this soldier walked through the street, shuttling back and forth from the alley, to a small alley of low houses.
As soon as I entered the alley, a foul smell came to my face, and it seemed that the soldier's family was not very wealthy, and he lived in a place where some poor people lived.
Zhao Lei followed him and came to a house in front of a place.
The soldier opened the lock, pushed the door in, and at the moment he closed the door, Zhao Lei also rushed in.
Along the way, Zhao Lei didn't unlock the stealth technique, although he now has the power that mortals can't match, but he didn't swagger around.
Because Zhao Lei has lived so much, he has only recently come into contact with this power, but it exists, what prompted this power not to intervene in the mortal world and not penetrate into mortals.
Zhao Lei didn't know that he didn't dare to be too rampant, so as not to cause a monstrous disaster to himself.
Zhao Lei once asked Granny Hei this question, but Granny Hei didn't know very well, she had disguised herself and entered the city several times.
But somehow, she would always be discovered by the children of those immortal cultivators, until she was seriously injured twice, and the black woman did not dare to enter the mortal city again.
The invisible Zhao Lei passed by the soldier, the soldier only felt the breeze blowing on his face, he looked around, and exclaimed strangely, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and locked the door.
When he locked the door and turned around, he suddenly saw Zhao Lei sitting on a chair in the hall, and was startled.
The spear he had held when defending the city was handed over after closing the city gate, and Wu Zhong only carried a knife with him to defend.
He hurriedly pulled out the knife at his waist, which was a dagger, a foot long.
Wu Zhong looked at the young man sitting in a chair, his face covered, dressed in a cheap linen dress that did not fit at all, with a knife at his waist and a rattan basket on the ground, covered with rags.
It's like a mud-legged coat and hat.
But it is completely inconsistent with the temperament revealed outside the mask.
Although Wu Zhong was just an ordinary soldier guarding the city gate, he had been in contact with those three sects and nine streams for a long time and had his own eyesight.
With a long knife at his waist, he is burly, his eyes reveal the essence from time to time, and there is a murderous aura lingering on his body, and he is a martial arts master at a glance.
It must be a hero of the green forest
Wu Zhong pointed his knife at Zhao Lei and said:
"I don't know which brother on the road is, the younger brother's name is Wu Zhong, he is a subordinate of Boss Duan, and there is still a little thin surface on the boundary of East Street.
I don't know where I offended my brother, but I hope my brother will bear with me, little brother, I still have some money here, so how about giving it to my brother to eat and drink.
If the brother has any needs, you can also find my brother, how about it? ”
Saying that, Wu Zhong took out a few taels of silver from his arms, looked at Zhao Lei, and waited for his reply.
"Boss Duan? But the man who guarded the gates, the one with a full beard. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Precisely! ”
"Brother and my boss have an old relationship?"
"There is old, there is indeed old, I happen to have something to look for him, you should know where he lives!"
Wu Zhong heard that Zhao Lei and his boss were old acquaintances, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he knew the kung fu in his hands, and it was okay to bully and bully the common people, in the face of this kind of crossing the river, the knife in his hand was almost nothing, and it was also a psychological comfort.
"That's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, I have a good relationship with our boss, if there's anything, just tell me directly."
You don't know where my boss lives, I'll just take you there. ”
Zhao Lei just wanted to ask for an address, but he didn't expect this Wu Zhong to take him directly, he didn't go to heaven if there was a way, and he broke in without a door to hell.
Originally, this Wu Zhong was not the group of people who made things difficult for him when he entered the city before, and wanted to let him go.
Now Wu Zhong wants to bring him to the door himself, and then he will inevitably kill people.
One person is also killed, and two people are also killed, which makes no difference to Zhao Lei.
After taking revenge, with Zhao Lei's ability, it is simply wishful thinking for these mortals to find themselves. When the time comes, as long as you dodge and avoid the limelight, you will be fine.
But it's okay, if someone takes him there, it will save him a detour.
Fortunately, there is only one Wu Zhong single, there is no old and no young, and it also saves Zhao Lei from creating more sins.
Wu Zhong's hands and feet were relatively sharp, and he took Zhao Lei out of the door directly, and Zhao Lei carried the rattan basket on his back and followed him.
Looking at Zhao Lei's dress, he also carried the rattan basket on his back when he left, thinking that it was a treasure, but how could there be a treasure in such a simple rattan basket.
Wu Zhong didn't care about all this, he thought that the man in front of him just thought that he was a master of the rivers and lakes with a strange personality.
Wu Zhong is still very polite to Zhao Lei, and he has been busy all the time, conniving and not knowing what Zhao Lei's name is.
But what he didn't know was that he himself was leading himself to his death.
Duan Yong did not live in this East Street, because the East Street was full of poor families in the city, and the security was very poor and the environment was relatively bad.
Like Duan Yong, he used to live in East Street and eat together on this East Street, but since he beat his cousin and became the concubine of the county order, he flew up to the branch and became a phoenix.
Moved from East Street to West Street.
However, they are still in the outer city when they move around, and they are still 108,000 miles away from the circle of powerful and core figures in Pingyang City.
The inner city is inhabited by the real magnates.
The famous fief of King Yan is in Pingyang City, and his mansion is in the inner city, so the inner city is full of nobles, if it is not for the county government in the inner city, even the county order may not be able to live.
Because King Yan is one of the few feudal kings with real power now, and his military achievements are impressive.
Zhao's foreign war, if it weren't for the new King Zhao listening to slander, would not have been like this, and it was only now that King Yan was urgently recruited to save the scene.
But it has become like this, even if King Yan has the ability, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so she can only tear down the west wall to make up for the east wall, and make up for the seams, barely supporting the situation.
Since King Yan was recruited at the beginning of the year, the inner city has been much quieter, because many of his descendants and some powerful people have all followed him to the battlefield.
Now the inner city is a lot empty, but even if it is empty, people who do not have a certain status will not be able to live in, although the Qian family and the Li family also live in the inner city, but their forces are all in the outer city, and they dare not contaminate the interests of the inner city at all.
