Both the four-color tabby cat and the red bird looked a little embarrassed, and they were dirty and seemed to be injured.
Both things looked wary, and they looked like they were ready to attack, but when they found that there was a light in front of them, they immediately relaxed.
The cat and the bird, which looked much bigger than Fuguang, immediately rushed out and started barking in front of Fuguang.
"Meow meow meow…"
"twitter…"
Fuguang also let out low growls from time to time, and the communication between the three guys was just like human beings.
Of course, Chu Zhongan couldn't understand the animal language, so he stood by quietly.
After a while, the cat and bird stopped making any noise. Fu Guang poured out some red fruits from the bamboo basket. The cat and bird ate them without hesitation. It was obvious that this was not the first time they had eaten this kind of fruit. .
Fuguang turned around and came to Chu Zhongan with an anxious look.
Chu Zhongan felt moved and said, "Fuguang, is this your friend? What happened?"
Fuguang gestured towards Chu Zhongan, and Chu Zhongan made a guess and then asked. One person and one beast could not be considered a tacit understanding. After doing it for a while, Chu Zhongan roughly understood what Fuguang wanted.
This cat and bird are both Fuguang's companions in Yamaye City. There are three other such animals, and Fuguang is their leader. However, Fuguang is reluctant to leave his own group and often returns to the bamboo forest.
These companions of Fuguang are all very intelligent and spiritual like it. They take care of each other and live very comfortably in this city.
Many people in the city are aware of the existence of such a group of beasts, but most of the simple people have never thought of harming them. Even those who tried to take advantage of them were dealt with by them. This group of animals has never encountered real danger. .
However, after Fuguang returned to the bamboo forest this time, another group of people began to capture them. Three of the beasts were captured. The cat and the bird managed to escape because of their quick movements.
Chu Zhongan frowned slightly and said: "According to your description, these people who arrested you have a lot of background. They might be people from the Xinhan government."
The three-headed beasts all looked at Chu Zhongan. They looked very confused. It was obvious that these guys did not understand what Xinhan and the government represented.
"You guys wait here, I'll go check it out, and if there's a chance, I'll help you rescue your friends!" Chu Zhongan said seriously.
When Fuguang heard the words, he immediately moved forward, seeing that he wanted to go with him.
Chu Zhongan shook his head gently and said: "Fuguang, you will stay too. Now my strength is far from recovered. I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely hide my figure with you. It will be counterproductive when the time comes. If I have news and need you to take action, I will naturally Come and take you with me!”
Seeing that Chu Zhongan was resolute, Fuguang had no choice but to give up. After a brief exchange, the three-headed beasts got into the hole behind the painting. What made Chu Zhongan laugh bitterly was that Fuguang was a bit too big. After squeezing into the hole, one of the beasts His legs pressed against the painting, and the dilapidated painting immediately bulged out, which was very conspicuous.
At Chu Zhongan's reminder, Fuguang continued to squeeze into the hole. The sound of cats and birds screaming in pain could be heard from time to time from behind the old painting. It took a while to calm down, and the old painting looked flawless.
After giving a few more instructions and hearing Fu Guang's response, Chu Zhongan turned around and left.
Dark night is the home ground of the Secret Agents of the Seven Killing Battalion. Chu Zhongan disappeared into the darkness and could no longer be seen. Even if his strength had not been restored, his method of concealing his figure was still provocative.
After leaving the house and looking around the city for a while, Chu Zhongan discovered something unusual.
It was already late at night, and the curfew had already started. No people could be seen on the streets, but from time to time there were guys in Xinhan government uniforms walking on the streets, looking around as if they were looking for something.
Chu Zhongan picked two yamen servants who looked a little impatient and followed them.
"The Lord of the City is also crazy. He is not allowed to sleep at night and is forced to catch cats and birds in the city. He really doesn't treat us as human beings!" As expected by Chu Zhongan, not long after we left, the one who looked younger looked younger. The government officials began to complain.
Another yamen servant who seemed to be over 40 years old looked around and made sure that no one was there before speaking: "San'er, please speak up, others will listen to you. When the time comes, we won't be able to eat and carry it around." Walk!"
The young yamen officer named San'er stared at the words and said: "Let's see who dares! Even if the city lord hears it, so what, just to make him listen to our cry, damn it, I will come here in the middle of the night to fight for my life with the gangsters." He’s not so resentful, let’s catch birds and beasts, it’s a shame he can think of it!”
This third son is not only courageous, but also a cynical person.
"Okay, okay, just a few words. I heard this. What you asked us to catch is not an ordinary beast. It is an existence comparable to a spiritual beast. Do you know that we have a big shot in Xinhan who likes Strange birds and beasts?" The older yamen servant lowered his voice again. As he spoke, he glanced around with a vigilant look on his face.
San'er's face darkened. After thinking for a moment, he said in horror: "Brother Li, are you the second son?"
The yamen servant, who was called Brother Li, quickly made a silence gesture and said: "You don't know how you will die no matter how you talk nonsense. If it weren't for the sake of us being neighbors, I wouldn't want to remind you, if it would implicate myself. , I was wronged."
San'er repeatedly waved his hands and said in fear: "No, no, who in Xinhan dares to provoke that gentleman? He is the most ruthless person among His Majesty's descendants. I heard that the former richest man in Yong'an City accidentally offended him, and he was almost defeated. After losing the family business, the whole family died inexplicably not long after, and it is said that even His Majesty could not do anything to this second son."
"You know it now. If I'm not wrong, the city lord wants to rely on these strange beasts to establish a relationship with that person. When the time comes, his status will naturally rise, and he will no longer have to be a coward in this remote city of ours." Brother Li He said somewhat proudly, as if he was the one who was about to hook up with the second son of Xinhan.
"My dear, the city lord is too powerful. Most people don't have time to hide from him, but he actually takes the initiative to defect..." San'er said with a sigh on his face.
"What do you know? This is called finding wealth and honor in danger. The Lord of the City was born as a Jinshi, but now he can only stay in a border city like Shanye City for many years without promotion. Why, there is no one above him, no matter how talented he is It's all in vain, I think you are really impatient this time!" Brother Li analyzed it clearly and clearly had a lot of research on Xinhan's officialdom.
San'er shrank his neck and said: "This can be considered a failure. If other officials don't sit on it, if you offend the prince again, your life will be at stake."
"Who wouldn't? This is really a dangerous move." Brother Li sighed.
The two men met three other government officials at the corner, and they immediately shut up.
After a brief chat, everyone continued to search separately. Brother Li and San'er were frightened for a while, and they stopped talking.
When Chu Zhongan saw this, he stopped following him. Through the conversation between the two, he had roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.
"Lord of Shanye City, it seems that you really made me guess. It actually involves the second son of Xinhan. This Han Shichong is no more difficult than the crown prince of Xinhan." Chu Zhongan thought to himself.
His face looked a little ugly. If the three-headed beast was still in Shanye City, the problem would be difficult. If it had been sent to Yong'an City, it would be too difficult to rescue it.
"Looks like we have to visit the City Lord's Mansion at night!" Chu Zhongan made his decision and immediately headed towards the central bank of Shanye City. Almost all the City Lord's Mansion or county government offices are in the core area of the city.
Chu Zhongan met many government officials along the way. With his methods, the government officials could not detect his presence at all.
When Chu Zhongan walked to the door of a restaurant, he stopped with a look of astonishment. There was a mysterious pattern in a secret place in front of the restaurant. This pattern was the symbol of Chu Boping's power.
"I didn't expect that such a city would have the power of my brother! It seems that the matter of supporting the light will be easier." Chu Zhongan was surprised and happy.
He didn't knock on the door, but climbed up to the restaurant in a flash, and got in through an open window on the second floor with great dexterity.
After entering the restaurant, Chu Zhongan looked around. After confirming that this was a guest room, he quickly went up to the third floor.
Looking at the layout on the third floor, it was obvious that this was the residence of He Er, the shopkeeper of the restaurant. He found a room that was obviously more elegant than the other rooms. If nothing else, it was the shopkeeper's room.
Chu Zhongan stood in front of the door and tinkered for a moment. The door that had been bolted inside was gently pushed open, but the bolt did not fall to the ground. He walked in quietly.
After reinstalling the door latch, Chu Zhongan walked to the shopkeeper's bed.
There were two people lying on the bed, a man and a woman. The man was in his forties and a little fat. It seemed that he was the shopkeeper of the restaurant. The woman was slightly smaller than the man and quite pretty. She was most likely the shopkeeper's wife.
Chu Zhongan very carefully tapped the woman's acupoints to make her fall asleep completely, and then gently knocked on the bedpost a few times to make some movement.
The man on the bed woke up suddenly. He got out of the bed in a flash and attacked Chu Zhongan with his bare hands. This man had the strength of the early stage of Jinjing Realm, which Chu Zhongan could not deal with at this time.
Chu Zhongan was attacked and retreated repeatedly, and he quickly said: "My own people, show mercy!"
The man's figure froze, and the force of his attack was a little weaker. He said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why do you want to break into your residence at night?"
Chu Zhongan had no words, but took out a token from his arms and showed it to the man.
The token is made of an unknown metal. The shape is very clever, but not luxurious. On the front of the token is the word Shanhai, and on the back is a hilt engraved, which is the shape of the Zhan Zhan Dao, a unique weapon of Jin Moying. This token It was the token that Chu Boping gave to Chu Zhongan.
When the man saw Chu Zhongan taking out the token, he looked confused. When he approached Chu Zhongan vigilantly and saw the whole token clearly, his expression immediately became solemn.
"Zheng Su, the manager of Songye Tower, pays homage to the second young master!" The man immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted after recognizing the token.
"Shopkeeper Zheng, you don't have to be polite." Chu Zhongan quickly stepped forward and helped the shopkeeper up.
