Chapter 363 - Return to Escort Office

"Sect Leader Ling, I beg you to come with me to Escort Office and save my father." Lin Pingzhi pleaded.

Zhang Xiaolong, who was at the side, also looked towards Ling Xiao. It was unknown whether it was because he was worried about the safety of the Forwey's escort office or the Carriage inside the Escort Office.

Ling Xiao slightly raised his brows and pondered for a moment before saying: "I promised your father that I would protect you well. Since you begged me with such sincerity, then I have decided to help you.

Hearing that, Lin Ping stood up happily and nodded his head, saying: "Rest assured, Sect Leader Ling, I will definitely not hold you back!"

"Alright, the problem now is that we don't have enough horses. Do you know where we can get horses?" Ling Xiao asked.

Lin Ping thought for a while, then pointed to a foot of the mountain and said, "Our horses are left over there."

Ling Xiao looked in the direction he came from, and after calculating the location, he said, "Tell your people to go get it, wait here for me."

Lin Ping knew that Ling Xiao was worried about his safety, so he did not object. He turned around and gave a few instructions to his subordinates, and then saw the three clan assistants from the Forwey's escort office turn around and walk to the foot of the mountain.

Ling Xiao looked at the three people as his eyes slightly narrowed. He did not say anything, and Lin Pingzhi and Zhang Xiaolong, who were at the side, also noticed Ling Xiao's expression and knew that he was observing the three people.

"Sect Leader Ling, is there a problem?" After all, these three employees of the Escort Office were his people. As Ling Xiao stared at the three of them, Lin Pingzhi was naturally a little nervous.

Ling Xiao still did not say anything, but when the three of them were walking further, Ling Xiao suddenly made his move. He suddenly swung his hand with force, and with a sou sound, a white light flew out, charging towards the three of them.

From a distance, Lin Pingzhi and Zhang Xiaolong saw the shop assistant from Escort Office, who was at the back of the group of three, fall onto the ground without any movement.

"Sect Leader Ling, what are you doing?" Seeing that, Lin Ping was shocked, why did Ling Xiao kill Escort Office's brothers for no reason?

Ling Xiao turned around and looked at Lin Pingzhi, and said indifferently: "That shop assistant from Escort Office was actually a traitor, and should have been planted by the Qingcheng Sect. Otherwise, how would your whereabouts be exposed to the enemy?"

When Lin Ping heard this, he was even more shocked. This kind of thing actually happened to him. Thinking about it, it was not without reason that his whereabouts were exposed.

It was just that Lin Ping could not understand how Ling Xiao knew about it, so he cupped his fists and said: "Sect Leader Ling, I do not suspect you, but I do not understand, how did you find out about it?"

Ling Xiao said indifferently: "The other two helpers from the Escort Office should be checking on that man. If nothing goes wrong, they will bring a dagger with them to meet us in a while."

"What?" Lin Pingzhi was shocked. If what Ling Xiao said was true, then the spy who was killed by Ling Xiao was planning to kill the other two servants of the Escort Office.

"Alright, let's go down first. When those two people come back, everything will be made clear." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and walked down the mountain.

Since things had reached this point, Lin Ping had no choice but to believe it. He could only follow Ling Xiao and wait at the foot of the mountain.

Because the order badge was definitely not forged, Lin Ping chose to believe the Ling Xiao he had never seen before.

Not long after, the two Escort Office servants rode their horses to the front of the group. After dismounting from the horses, they immediately walked in front of Lin Pingzhi and took out the dagger that Ling Xiao had mentioned.

Seeing this scene, Lin Pingzhi was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. This was exactly the same as what Ling Xiao had said.

Ling Xiao knew what Lin Ping was thinking, and explained: "I noticed that when you met me, that person's expression was not very natural, and was not afraid, but rather annoyed. It must be because I appeared, and it might disturb their plans, and then when I told them to go get the horses, I found out that he had intentionally left them behind, and then I saw a flash of white light, and that was the dagger he had taken out, and was sent out by the sunlight."

It turned out that Ling Xiao knew of the real identity of this man from the very beginning, and was impressed by Ling Xiao's close analysis. If not for Ling Xiao, Lin Ping would have been kept in the dark, which would have caused this man to escape, and the information would have been sent to the enemy.

"Sect Leader Ling once again thanks you for saving my life! I shouldn't have misunderstood you before. " Lin Pingzhi said while cupping his fists.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao laughed: "No worries, it is the first time you and I have met. Furthermore, you have been chased for so long, it is only right for you to be vigilant."

"Thank you for your understanding, Sect Leader Ling. Can we head to the Forwey's escort office's headquarters now?" Lin Pingzhi asked. He was clearly very anxious.

"Yes, we will set off now." Ling Xiao nodded.

This trip had taken almost a day, who knew how far Fuzhou City had progressed.

But Fuzhou City was still Forwey's escort office's home ground after all. Even if all of Qingcheng Sect's forces were to attack at once, they might not be able to do so in a short period of time.

Ling Xiao and the rest did not delay on their journey, and rushed to Fuzhou City at the fastest speed possible. By the time they reached Fuzhou City, the sky had already darkened.

However, when they arrived, they found that the Fuzhou City's gates were tightly shut.

"How could this be? The guards are here!" When Lin Pingzhi saw this scene, he became even more flustered. Fuzhou City had never had such a situation before, which was enough to show that it was not peaceful in Fuzhou City.

"Someone come!" Is there anyone here? " Lin Pingzhi sat on his horse and shouted at the city wall.

However, he was only answered by the empty night wind. Not a single person was seen on the city wall. The torches that were originally on the city wall were also not seen. It was as if it was an empty city.

Zhang Xiaolong, who was at the side, was also panicking in his heart. Before he left the Fuzhou City, Ling Xiao had told him that after tonight, there would be many lonely ghosts in the Fuzhou City.

Ling Xiao expressionlessly looked at the tightly shut city gate, because he already knew what was going to happen inside.

"There's no need to shout. If I want to enter the city, I have to find another way." Ling Xiao heard Lin Pingzhi's hoarse voice and frowned.

"Sect Leader Ling, you must help me! I don't want to lose my father! " Lin Pingzhi's eyes were bloodshot as he hoarsely said.

Hearing that, Ling Xiao looked at Lin Ping for a while, then nodded: "I will do my best."

With that, Ling Xiao shouted. He changed his direction and circled around the city walls, as though he wanted to choose another entrance to enter.

Zhang Xiaolong and the others were confused, but they could only choose to follow Ling Xiao because they had no other choice.
