Chapter 1272: Darkness Under the Lamplight

But just then.

Tap tap tap...

The sound of countless horses' hooves thundered from outside Changsheng Town. Then, a squad of armored guards charged in. Street vendors and passersby, seeing this scene, were filled with dread and scrambled to avoid them, standing on both sides of the road without daring to make a sound.

All the people in Changsheng Town are indeed "Immortals," but their arrogance is only relative to those outside Changsheng Town. Before the guards, they dare not act out of line.

Ye Fu Sheng stood among the crowd, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. If he guessed correctly, it should be for him

"Call!"

The lead guard, clad in silver armor and riding a steed, stopped just as he entered Changsheng Town. His eyes were cold as he declared: “Two of you guard the exit. From now on, no one is allowed in or out.”

The rest of you, one person per alleyway, search meticulously!

"Yes!"

The guards behind him answered in unison, then quickly dispersed, forming a straight line. Each man searched an alleyway. If one were to look down from above, they would see them advancing in a straight line, leaving no blind spots.

Hiss.

The crowd on the street suddenly began to stir.

"What's happening Why are the guards mobilizing"

“Yes, normally it's the ghosts who appear. When guards are involved, it must be a major event!”

“I heard that a ruffian came to Beimen, and even dared to fight. Could he be here to catch him”

Ye Fusheng's face turned grave, there was no doubt about it, these guards were here to arrest him. He didn't expect them to be so quick.

Looking around, there was nowhere to hide. Any slight movement would surely be discovered.

There's a bit of an advantage now, that the alleys on both sides are being patrolled and searched. Only this central street hasn't been searched yet.

Ye Fusheng looked at the two guards in front of him guarding the gate. The leading guard was imposing, riding a steed back and forth.

Suddenly, someone shouted in a loud voice: "Officer, can you tell us what's going on We want to do our part too!"

Wealth and honor are perilous in the midst of autumn.

If he were to remember and search for this street, he would surely be exposed. After all, they have all lived here for a hundred years and know each other well. Just one question would reveal that he doesn't belong here.

Therefore, fight for your opportunities!

Upon hearing this.

The people around fell silent instantly. They first looked at Ye Fusheng, then all turned to the guards ahead, curious as well.

The guard at the front, holding onto the reins, glanced coldly at Ye Fusheng and said indifferently, "It's none of your business, just stand there and don't pry into anything else!"

Ye Fu Sheng naturally couldn't just shut up like that, otherwise, what was the difference between him and waiting for death

He probed, "Is it related to that country bumpkin"

"You..."

The head guard narrowed his eyes and instinctively raised the Soul-Crushing Whip in his hand to strike Ye Fusheng. However, seeing that everyone on the street was watching, he couldn't be too arrogant and domineering.

"Do you know where he is" she sneered.

When Ye Fusheng saw the opportunity, he quickly dashed out of the crowd. Taking three steps as two, he arrived in front of the guard at the head.

He whispered, "My lord, although I don't know where he is now, I know how to find him."

"Hmm" The guard looked down, sneering.

Ye Fu Sheng continued, “Sir Governor, think about it, no matter what he came to Changsheng Town for, he will eventually have to return home. Especially since you personally searched his place, the thing he wants most right now is to leave Changsheng Town.”

"As the saying goes, 'sieges inevitably lead to breaches.' By blocking the exit now, you're forcing him deeper into hiding. This won't help the search and could even result in a disastrous outcome for both parties."

"Why not leave a gap, intentionally open the door, and have some people pretend to go in and out I believe that for him to escape, he would definitely take risks."

The guard's eyes lit up at this, for he was indeed worried that the man would be destroyed along with his schemes. The fact that he could call out from within the Stone Prison and subdue two guards effortlessly proved his capabilities.

Right now, having the guards search is just putting pressure on him, forcing him out. The real move to capture him will have to be made by me myself.

According to this fellow's strategy, it does seem to lower the risk, worth a shot.

"The proposal is good, so you find someone to impersonate. Remember, don't have too many people, lest he gets mixed in. Also, make sure they are not strangers, lest you can't recognize them."

Ye Fusheng immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your trust, Lord Official."

In the middle of their conversation, he turned his head and shouted: “You, you…come here!”

Ye Fusheng continuously pointed at over twenty people.

These people, having not heard the previous conversation, walked over nervously.

Ye Fusheng stood tall and chest out, “From now on, you all listen to my orders. Remember, report any strangers immediately, keep your eyes sharp, and if anything goes wrong, don't blame me for being harsh.”

The guard, upon hearing this, revealed a hint of contempt in his eyes. What was he pretending to be

Though he's still somewhat useful, I'm too lazy to bother with him.

These people nodded repeatedly, not afraid of Ye Fusheng, but afraid of the guards beside them.

Ye Fu Sheng said again, “Wait a moment, I’ll go out first. You watch my state, then you call your whole family out of town. Remember, walk about a thousand paces and then turn back. Also, when you go out, keep a distance and act as naturally as possible, understand”

"Understood." These people nodded in agreement.

Ye Fu Sheng waved his hand: "Go!"

These people simultaneously turned back to the crowd and called for their families.

Ye Fusheng immediately walked out of the gate, strolling leisurely. He passed two guards stationed at the gate; they nodded slightly, their faces full of disdain and too lazy to respond.

Ye Fusheng didn't act awkward. He swaggered out of Changsheng Town. After ten zhang, he quickened his pace. After twenty zhang, his speed increased again.

After walking fifty paces, his speed had doubled.

...within Changsheng Town.

The leading guard was still on horseback, pacing back and forth along the street. He appeared casual, but his eyes scanned every corner, missing nothing. Any movement would be caught instantly by him.

Seeing the first batch of "bystanders" come, there were quite a few, just one family had over ten people, men, women and children all present. Although they didn't act very convincingly, it was indeed an opportunity for that lawless individual. To put it mildly, even if he didn't take the risk, it wouldn't hurt him; it was just acting.

If he were to truly block off all the roads, causing a fish-net collapse and resulting in casualties among the guards, he would also have to bear the responsibility...

Thinking about this.

His body suddenly trembled.

"Fish die, net breaks"

That fellow's strength is known only to a handful of people within, not even the guards he brought know about it. Yet, why could that person just now say this word

He suddenly turned his head to look outside Changsheng Town, but Ye Fusheng's figure was gone.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the shop in front of him, asking nervously, "Do you recognize that man just now Have you ever seen him"

They looked at each other and shook their heads.

The guard quickly turned forward and shouted, "Which one of you has seen that man just now Does anyone recognize him"

Every face on the street stared, then simultaneously shook their head.

Seeing this.

The head guard was furious. He never expected he would be played like this, who could have thought he would dare stand up

Turn around quickly, ride fast.
