Runyeongseong Castle is the county seat of Ruyang County, Anju.

Although Runing City is a county seat, it is much worse than the Jinhua City that Chu Zhao went to before, but its level of vigilance is that Jinhua City is not as good as Jinhua City.

Before entering the city, Chu Zhao felt the aura of slaughter, there were thirty soldiers at the gate of the city alone, and ten of them were equipped with crossbows, and the people who entered and left the city were all nervous and panicked.

With Chu Zhao's understanding, most of them are controlled by the Imperial Forest Army and the border army of the Gongwei Jing Division, and unless there are cultivators who disobey the law and trample on the dignity of the imperial court within the jurisdiction of the imperial court, they will use the crossbow or even more powerful divine crossbow.

It can be seen from this that although the imperial court did not disclose the assassination of Shengshang, the recovery was extremely strong.

Chu Zhao drove the carriage slowly to the city gate and lined up to enter the city.

The soldiers at the gate of the city were inspected very strictly, and Chu Zhao even found that the ten soldiers with crossbows and the other twenty soldiers gave people a very different feeling.

The soldiers armed with crossbows were all on their backs, their expressions were serious, their bodies exuded a solemn aura, they were not angry and arrogant, they were definitely elite soldiers who came down from the battlefield, and the other twenty soldiers looked like county soldiers who had never been on the battlefield.

Chu Zhao drove the carriage and waited in line, and there happened to be people around him, and asked a middle-aged man, "This uncle excuse me." ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "What's the matter with the little brother?"

Chu Zhao pointed to the soldiers at the gate of the city and asked, "What is going on, why are there so many soldiers standing guard to check." ”

"I heard that there are court felons who escaped from the state prison, and now the whole state is arrested, and it has been a month. It must be a cultivator, otherwise, how can it not be caught for so long with the power of the imperial court?" The middle-aged man sighed and said helplessly: "The arrest of people by the imperial court has hurt us ordinary people, and we have to wait for a long time to enter and leave the city every day, delaying working hours, and we have earned a lot of silver this month. ”

The imperial court did not want to have a bad influence, so it concealed the assassination of the saint and escaped from prison instead.

Chu Zhao thanked the middle-aged man, seeing that there were more and more people entering the city, it was difficult for him to drive forward in a carriage, and there were many people who cut the queue, so he must have delayed a lot of time, so he decided not to enter the city, and passed through the villages and towns to buy some food along the way.

The carriage turned around and prepared to continue on its way, but this behavior was discovered by the lieutenant on duty on the castle tower, who thought it was suspicious.

"Someone!"

The first commander hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "What do you command?"

Du Wei pointed to Chu Zhao's carriage and said, "This car is suspicious, go check it!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the chief waved his hand, and several soldiers followed the chief down the tower.

Chu Zhao had just broken away from the team entering the city and rode forward, when the sound of dense horse hooves sounded behind him, and when he looked back, more than ten soldiers rode towards them.

Wu Chang pointed at Chu Zhao, who turned around, and said sharply: "Stop!"

Chu Zhao frowned when he heard this, knowing that he was in trouble.

The sound of horses' hooves approached, and in a blink of an eye, they were surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, and the captain dismounted and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Chu Zhao said politely: "We are in a hurry." ”

Wu Chang looked at Chu Zhao and continued to ask: "Where did you come from, where are you going?

Chu Zhao didn't want to clash with the other party, so he got out of the carriage honestly, several soldiers lifted the curtain, and saw Wang Jun and the seriously injured Jian San inside, Wu Chang's eyes narrowed slightly, and gave his subordinates a look, and the soldiers each raised their vigilance, and one of them galloped towards the city gate.

"We were in a hurry, and there were seriously ill elders in the car, and we wanted to be accommodating. ”

"Why don't you go into the city for healing when you're sick?

Cultivators have no guides, and they generally carry identity tokens issued by the sect, which are recorded in the imperial court.

Chu Zhao secretly scolded himself for doing too much and causing trouble for no reason, and took out the identity token from his arms.

Shi Chang took a look and saw that the front of the wooden plaque was engraved with the simple word "Dao", and the back was engraved with the words "Thirty-six generations of disciples - Chu Zhao".

"Dao Sect disciple?!"

Seeing that the other party was a disciple of the Dao Sect, Wu Chang said in a polite tone, "Why don't you have a sect name?

Qingshan Temple is the name of the outside world, but in fact, the Taoist Temple does not have a name, and Chu Zhao will not be able to explain this kind of thing clearly for a while, and the other party may not understand it if he explains it.

Wang Jun knew Chu Zhao's difficulties and took out his token.

Wu Chang was shocked when he saw it, the word "Sword Pavilion" was like thunder in the Dafeng Dynasty, and he didn't expect that the woman would be a disciple of the Sword Pavilion.

At this moment, the commander stationed at the city gate arrived surrounded by a group of soldiers, each with a crossbow in his hand.

Du Wei dismounted, Wu Chang handed over the identity tokens of the two, Du Wei glanced at the token and Chu Zhao and the three of them, and said politely: "The identities of the two are not ordinary, and the last general will not be able to verify the authenticity, please follow me into the city, and the adults of my family will personally verify the identity." ”

Wang Jun is the eldest lady's temperament, she is used to being willful, and when she added that Jian San was injured, she was anxious, and said in a stiff tone: "My third uncle is injured, and I don't have time to delay with you, hurry up and give way!"

As soon as these words fell, Chu Zhao knew that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, the lieutenant did not give way when he heard this, but the surrounding soldiers were waiting for him, and the crossbow was aimed directly at them.

Du Wei held the handle of the knife in his hand and said impartially: "Please also ask this girl to cooperate, and when the authenticity of the token is verified, I will let you go!"

"You ......"

Wang Jun was about to speak, but Chu Zhao immediately stopped her and shook his head at her.

In the end, Chu Zhao and others were led into the city by the captain, and there were heavy guards around them, which was equivalent to indirect house arrest, which led Wang Jun to the brink of an outbreak.

Chu Zhao realized that they seemed to be in big trouble.

"Strictly guarded, if there is the slightest sign of resistance, there will be no mercy!"

The lieutenant ordered the guards as he left.

Chu Zhao and the others were under house arrest, and Lord Du Wei felt that his opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune had come, so he kept rubbing his hands, forced himself to hold back the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly sent his men to inform his own lord.

The official position of the Dafeng Dynasty, the highest military governor of a county is the county lieutenant, but because Anzhou is now arresting the assassin who assassinated the saint, the security precautions of each county are all controlled by the state army, and the general Anzhou sent all the captains under his command to each county to garrison.

At this time, in an independent courtyard in the county government, Captain Dong, who was sitting in Ruyang County, was talking to a middle-aged man who was not angry and arrogant.

The courtyard is heavily guarded, and idlers are not allowed to approach, even if the county guard is not allowed to pass the word, he cannot approach.

A soldier came to the courtyard in a hurry, and after reporting to the guards at the gate of the courtyard, the guards turned around and entered the courtyard, and whispered at the door of the room: "Report to the general, the captain of the city gate has reported that he has found a suspicious person suspected of being an assassin, and now it has been controlled, please send Captain Dong to hurry." ”

Lieutenant Dong and the middle-aged man in the room were stunned when they heard this.
