The confusion was only for a moment. After entering the city, Zhao Lei did not find a secret place to unlock the invisibility technique. Instead, he found a nearby shady place and sat on the ground to observe the city gate.
Zhao Lei waited here for a whole afternoon, and did not stand up until the city gate was closed under curfew.
Zhao Lei watched as these soldiers closed the city gate neatly, and some of them scattered and left.
Zhao Lei selected a tall and thin soldier to follow him. The soldier crossed the street, shuttled back and forth from the alley, and came to a small alley surrounded by low-rise houses.
As soon as he entered the alley, a stench hit his face. 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, twisting and turning, and arrived in front of a house.
The soldier unlocked the door and pushed in. The moment he closed the door, Zhao Lei also rushed in.
Zhao Lei did not unlock the invisibility technique along the way. Although he now has unparalleled power, he did not show off.
Because Zhao Lei has lived so long, he has only recently come into contact with this power, but it still exists. What prompted this power to not interfere with the mortal world or penetrate into mortals.
Zhao Lei didn't know, he didn't dare to be too arrogant, lest it cause huge disaster to himself.
Zhao Lei once asked Granny Hei this question, but Granny Hei didn't know much about it. She had sneaked into the city in disguise several times.
But somehow, she was always being discovered by those disciples of the Immortal Cultivation Sect. Until she was seriously injured twice, Granny Hei no longer dared to enter the mortal city.
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 much attention and locked the door.
When he locked the door and turned around, he suddenly saw Zhao Lei sitting on a chair in the main room and was startled.
The spear he had held when defending the city was handed over after closing the city gate. Wu Zhong only carried a knife with him for defense.
He quickly pulled out the knife from his waist. It was a dagger, one foot long.
Wu Zhong looked at the young man sitting on the chair. His face was covered, and he was wearing a pair of cheap linen clothes that didn't fit at all. He had a knife on his waist. There was also a rattan basket on the ground covered with rags.
It's like a piece of clothing with mud legs.
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 exposed to those three religions for a long time and had his own vision.
The man with a long sword across his waist has a tall figure, his eyes are shining from time to time, and there is a murderous aura lingering around him. At first glance, he is a martial arts master.
He must be a forest hero
Wu Zhong pointed the knife at Zhao Lei and said:
"I don't know which brother is on the road. The younger brother's name is Wu Zhong. He is a subordinate of Boss Duan. He is still a bit thin on the East Street.
I don’t know where I offended my brother, but I hope you can forgive me. Little brother, I still have some money here, so how about I give it to my brother to drink with me.
It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. If you need anything, you can also come to me. How about that? "
As he spoke, Wu Zhong took out a few taels of silver from his arms and looked at Zhao Lei, waiting for his answer.
"Boss Duan? But the soldier guarding the city gate, the one with the beard."
"Yes, yes! Exactly!"
"Brother, are you related to my boss?"
"It's old, it's true. I happened to see him for something. You should know where he lives!"
When Wu Zhong heard that Zhao Lei and his boss were old acquaintances, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the skills in his hands, and it was okay to bully the common people. Facing this kind of dragon crossing the river, how could the knife in his hand be enough? Close to nothing, it’s just a psychological comfort.
"It was really a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. I have a good relationship with our boss. If anything happens, just tell me.
You don’t know where my boss lives, I’ll just take you there. "
Zhao Lei originally just wanted to ask for an address, but he didn't expect that Wu Zhong would take him there directly. There was a way to heaven, but he wouldn't take it, and there was no way to hell, so he barged in on his own.
It turns out that this Wu Zhong was not the same group of people who made things difficult for him when he entered the city before, and they wanted to let him go.
Now Wu Zhong wants to take him to the door himself, and then he will inevitably kill someone and silence him.
One person is killed, two people are killed, there is no difference to Zhao Lei.
After taking revenge, with Zhao Lei's ability, it is simply wishful thinking for these mortals to find him. When the time comes, as long as you hide and avoid the limelight, it will be fine.
But it's okay, if someone takes him there, it will save him a detour.
Fortunately, Wu Zhong was a bachelor, and there was no old man above him, no young man below him, so Zhao Lei was spared from committing more murderous crimes.
Wu Zhong was quick with his hands and feet, and he left immediately. He took Zhao Lei out directly, and Zhao Lei carried the rattan basket on his back and followed him.
Looking at Zhao Lei's dress, he carried the rattan basket on his back when he left. He thought it was some kind of treasure, but there was no treasure in such a simple rattan basket.
Wu Zhong didn't pay attention to all this. He thought that the man in front of him was just a master of martial arts with an eccentric personality.
Wu Zhong was still very polite to Zhao Lei and kept busy, even though he didn't know Zhao Lei's name.
But what he didn't know was that he was leading himself to death.
Duan Yong does not live in this East Street, because all the poor families in the city live here, the public security is very poor, and the environment is also relatively bad.
Duan Yong, for example, used to live in East Street and make a living in East Street, but after his cousin became the county magistrate's concubine, he flew up the branches and became a phoenix.
Moved from East Street to West Street.
However, despite moving here and there, they are still in the outer city, and they are still far away from the core circle of powerful people in Pingyang City.
The real rich and powerful live in the inner city.
The famous Prince Yan's fiefdom is in Pingyang City, and his residence is in the inner city, so the people in the inner city are all nobles. If the county government is not in the inner city, even the county magistrate may not be able to live there.
Because King Yan is one of the rare kings with real power and has made great military achievements.
Zhao's foreign war would not have turned into what it is now if the new King Zhao had not listened to the slander. It was only now that King Yan was urgently recruited to rescue the situation.
But the battle has been like this. No matter how capable King Yan is, he can't make a living without rice. He can only tear down the west wall to mend the east wall, patch up the seams, and barely support the situation.
Since King Yan was recruited at the beginning of the year, the inner city has been much quieter, because many of his direct descendants and some powerful people have followed him to the battlefield.
The inner city is now a lot empty, but even if it is empty, people without a certain status will not be able to live in it. Although the Qian family and the Li family also live in the inner city, their influence is in the outer city and they do not dare to contaminate the inner city. Interests.
