C68

The sky gradually darkened, the sun set in the west, and the evening arrived.

Zhang Hao sat on his steed and wiped the sweat off his face. He looked at the red sun in the sky and knew that he could finally rest.

The horses were galloping around. Zhang Hao had been tired for the whole day and was not in the mood to deal with them. He could only hope that the time would come soon so that he could change shifts and rest.

This was the northwest gate of Shattered Leaf City, and Zhang Hao was one of the gate guards.

Why the acting gate guard? This was because he was not a soldier from Shattered Leaf City, but a member of the Black Armored Army of Windraiser City.

Not long ago, he was assigned with the four thousand men to carry out a mission, and the person that commanded them was the personal guard of Lord Liu Bo'an from before. His name seemed to be Hong Lei.

I heard that he had also done meritorious service in the past. He probably wanted to use this opportunity to take another step forward. After all, they already had Lord Liu Bo An as a springboard. If they didn't take advantage of this opportunity, then it wouldn't make sense.

However, all of this had nothing to do with Zhang Hao. He was just a small fry in the Black Armored Army and hadn't even gotten the position of field officer yet. As for the matters of the upper echelons, he wasn't really concerned about them.

Perhaps one day it would be related to him. But now, he was very tired.

What he was thinking right now was to finish today's mission quickly and rest up. Far away is to save up enough money to buy him three acres of land, and then his wife and children hot brick.

Who said that everyone had to be ambitious? There were also those who were willing to be ordinary, to enjoy the happiness that people couldn't enjoy while standing at a high place. They wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery that only those in the mortal world could enjoy.

In the mortal world, it was ordinary. It was also human, and also human.

"Whew!" Zhang Hun breathed out a mouthful of hot air and pulled at the collar of his robe under the black armor.

What he was in charge of was the investigation of the northwest city gate. Of course, ordinary people would naturally be handed over to the real city gate guards. His task was only to investigate the suspicious looking and white-clothed people.

No one knew what the adults were thinking, because white was the cheapest fabric because it was easy to dye. Not to mention ordinary people, even some of the more embarrassed martial artists and people were all dressed in white. It could be said that there were people wearing white everywhere on the street.

However, this was not to say that white clothes were cheap. Just like ten years ago, there were a lot of nobles who loved white clothes. Currently, there were quite a few idle people who loved white clothes.

However, the orders were to investigate a white-robed youth based on a portrait and a blurry face, and to block him at the city gates of Shattered Leaf City. At first glance, it seemed easy, but where was this place? Shattered Leaf City!

This was the Shattered Leaf City, known as the "Southeast Gate" of the Great Yu Dynasty!

Emissaries from various countries, business groups from all over the world, idle tourists … There were countless people passing by every day. Even when there were few people, there were only a few thousand. There were at least a hundred of them, so this was a real chore.

In the first few days, there would still be people patrolling the area, but gradually, no one came. Why? This was because, firstly, there was no oil, and secondly, it was very tiring. If someone was full, they would have to pay attention to him.

Furthermore, after so many days, the white-robed youth in the painting had not even seen a shadow. Everyone had also relaxed a little in private, but the higher ups didn't say anything. As a result, they were already much more relaxed than they were a few days ago.

However, there were still a lot of necessary inquiries. He had heard that the white-robed youth in the painting was an expert, so he had to be on guard. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to find him after sneaking into the city.

Besides, if such an expert intentionally hid his identity, then he really wouldn't be able to find him.

Although it was feasible to use a large number of people, this was someone else's territory, not Windraiser City. A strong dragon could not beat a local snake, so they had to rely on the judgement of others.

Therefore, the best method was to block the white-robed youth at the city gate. Only by doing this could he wait and catch him off guard. This way, he would have the greatest advantage.

"Ha!" Zhang Hun covered his mouth with his hand and yawned. He could grumble about these things in his heart. He had heard that the new commander, Hong Lei, was no pushover, so he had to be careful.

He turned around and looked at the black armoured men beside him. They were all like him, tired from the day's work. All of them looked listless. If it were not for the hard rules, who would be willing to do this crying task?

Slowly, the horizon began to turn red. The sun was setting, and the horizon was dyed red. It was already getting late, and the sky was about to turn dark.

"Zhang Hao!" At this moment, a shout came from inside the city gate.

Zhang Meng turned the dock around and turned around. A black-armored soldier came through the city gates and he immediately went up to meet him.

"Old Zhou, what's wrong?" Zhang Hao recognized this person. He was the captain of another patrol, and one that was about to change shifts with them.

As Shattered Leaf City was a south-eastern gate, its prosperity could be imagined. Therefore, there was only a very small amount of time that was allowed to enter and leave the city, so they needed to go through the city twice a day to prevent the white-robed youth from infiltrating.

"Sigh, don't mention it. Do you still remember those two bastards who escaped from our team?" Zhou said to Chang.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately pulled his surname Zhou out. He looked around and whispered, "Lower your voice, running away without permission is a huge crime."

"Aiya, I know!" Captain Zhou was extremely impatient, "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

"Then …"

"Sigh …" Originally, I thought that those two brats had hidden themselves somewhere to indulge themselves. "But I didn't expect …"

"Why?" Zhang Hao immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Why?" Captain Zhou lowered his voice, "They're dead!"

Zhang Meng was shocked when he heard the news. He used too much strength in his legs and the horse whinnied as it paced back and forth.

This situation attracted the attention of many soldiers.

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Meng brought out his prestige as the team leader, causing the soldiers to immediately turn their heads back and no longer look at him.

From this, it could be seen that Chang had some status and prestige as a captain.

Seeing that everyone was no longer paying attention to him, Zhang Hun said in a deep voice, "Originally, you didn't inform anyone about this, but now it seems that you are going to suffer the consequences."

When Captain Zhou heard this, he also had a bitter face, "Who's wrong. The reason I came this time was to say that I would have to trouble you to keep an eye on this matter for me. I need to quickly settle this matter."

"Otherwise, if two people were to die for no reason at all, I'm afraid …" Captain Zhou hadn't finished speaking when he felt a chill run through his body.

When Zhang Hao heard this, he felt helpless, "We still need to watch for a while, this …"

Before he could finish his words, he felt something in his chest. He looked down and found that Captain Zhou had placed two pieces of silver in his chest.

"Buy some wine for us brothers. When this is over, I'll treat us brothers to a good meal." Captain Zhou's face was full of smiles as he stared at Zhang Hao.
